the parker/eliot branch of the ot3 is the absolute funniest. parker&hardison have their own beautiful canonical romance. hardison&eliot flirt as much as they bicker & have some deliciously tense moments of Manly Emotional Intimacy and Bone-Deep Respect and Care for the other. but parker&eliot? spend most of the time either working in terrifying tandem or behaving like grumpy uncle/little brother until that occasional moment where eliot will see a younger version of himself in parker who hasn’t quite made all of the terrible he did and can be Saved but clearly possesses a familiar, viscous capability for darkness that cuts her from the same cloth as him and he will do everything in his power to stop it even if it tears him limb from literal limb. and then she hits him with a car.
