I like that Eliot is our window into blue collar society. It would have been easy, I think, for a show with Leverage's politics to treat the so called 'hicks' as others, as separate group

But because we have Eliot who consistently gets them and sympathizes with their struggle and motivation it helps keep them relatable and human

And I think that's a really good thing to do imo

My impression after watching the second Schemers episode

[iwritesnortsintragedies]

As an homage to Jayden Revri once eating an entire spoon of mustard without even twitching during an interview: an alive AU where Charles & Edwin's first date/meeting ends at an Indian restaurant Charles knows well, where Edwin orders the lowest possible level of spice and Charles orders 'you know how I like it'

When Edwin kisses Charles a little while after, they separate and he closes his eyes, one hand on his mouth, with the face of someone who deeply regrets his choices, and Charles is starting to panic and wonder what the fuck he did wrong when Edwin gives a little cough

"I don't believe this is what the poets had in mind when they described a searing kiss!"

Charles invites him in for a glass of milk

Headcanon that post canon, Charles opens up about his history of abuse and racist harassment to Edwin a bit more, but every time he tacks on something along the lines of "I know it's nothing compared to hell but"

And Edwin, who's made a whole lot of progress about not using his passage in Hell as a trump card (because Charles said something about it—quite likely for the first time!—because of the whole thing with Crystal) is absolutely slammed by retrospective guilt every time

The fact that they're going to almost get caught because they got emotional over Hardison playing the violin 😭
