Alright so late night hypothetical time. And really ponder this one.

Which of the Leverage ot3 would win in Taskmaster?

Eliot

Parker

Hardison

Remaining time: 6 days 22 hours

See at first I would say Parker easily, but then I got thinking about the premise of Taskmaster and now I'm not so sure. I could see it going to anyone really.

The reveal that they were all trying to rob the place indivually and then they do the sunny meerkat bit wondering why everyone else is there. My idiots

Eliot trying to keep Hardison in the car seat when he finds the bomb and Hardison trying to stop panicking to save his own life what a scene

[perplexed-confusion]

Parker running and jumping up to hug Eliot at the end! And the she hugs Hardison and walks off q her arms around the two of them! Given the Doctor Who references this ep (Tom Baker, Rose) they could do that bit where Amy says "me and my boys" and Rory and the Doctor ar elite "we aren't her boys" ... "yeah we are"

The way that I personally NEED to get some actual Hardison backstory. Think about it what do we actually know about him compares to the others:

1. He was bullied (a guess made by Eliot that was never denied)

2. He robbed the bank of Iceland instead of going to a school dance, one of only two major crimes he's ever actually have been stated to do

3. He went through many foster homes before ending up at Nana's, but we never learned why they never worked out, just that Nana did

We really only know one thing that he never wanted us to and that the bullying, sure he offers up information and seems like the most open of them all but he has so many random holes in his background compared to the others. Like I can make an extremely educated guess as to why he got into crime, but they truly never tell us or give extreme hints like Nate, Parker, and Eliot. We had to wait until redemption to meet anyone he personally was family or friends with before meeting the crew, and even then, it was out of necessity for the story. He has so much potential for background, and I don't think it's utilized enough.

Also, I wanna know about his devil may care attitude that he sometimes has. Like he's supposed to be the most moral of them all, but the second someone does wrong in his eyes, he turns into

Alec 'he beat up a priest' Hardison

Alec 'we too a break' Hardison

Alec 'he should be shot' Hardison

In two of those cases, the more scary criminals around him are the ones in initial shock while he responds violently. Where did he get it from? Just bring back Leverage and tell me I beg of you.

ive never written fic before but i am struck with the urge to write one about alec hardison from leverage being really invested in IETF discourse. he's an internet mega-nerd and professional malicious hacker you can't tell me he wouldn't try to influence internet protocols

rewatching episode 1 of leverage and dear god hardison and eliot wanted each other SO bad in the scene where hardison watches elito kick four guys asses in three seconds and then eliot watches hardison get into the high security vault door and they both stare at each other and smile
