ROUND 1 - THE ED BOYS vs SOPHIE DEVEREAUX

Will the Ed boys sell Sophie scams (ie: fashion trends, river cruises, monkey man exhibitations...anything loosely defined as "an experience") in exchange for money they will use to buy candy?

OR will Sophie sell the Ed boys anything and everything (especially things that aren't hers to sell) in her effort to take down corrupt CEOs and give back to the people they hurt (while also getting bonus money)?

WILL THE CHILD CEOS OF SCAMMING KEEP BEING CORRUPT OR WILL THEY BE TAKEN DOWN?

PROPAGANDA

THE ED BOYS

"No matter how many times their things fall apart under their clients, no matter how many times their own things do slapstick violence to them, these three best friends keep tricking people into giving them money somehow, no matter how slapdash and obviously unsafe their latest creation is." SOPHIE DEVEREAUX

"One of the greatest grifters of all time. She once sold the London Bridge."

Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME

Nate actually is vulnerable and shares genuine feelings and needs and everything with Sophie and she CAN'T HEAR HIM BECAUSE OF BEING IN A HELICOPTER?! Whyyyyy couldn't it have just been a voicemail this time too so it was recorded to play back again later come ONNNNNN

So with the new episode of Leverage: Redemption coming out tomorrow, I wanted to throw something out there before anything else happens.

When I saw Harry and Sophie give each other this look at the end of The Swipe Right Job:

I said out loud to my empty apartment,

“No, no, no. Oh god, please don’t.”

Because I am dreading that this is supposed to be a hint to a romantic relationship between them.

And could we just not?

Like one of my biggest praises when the first season came out was the relationship between these two and how much I appreciated that it was a platonic one. Then season 2 continued with that dynamic and just let them be two people of the opposite sex that are there for each other with (platonic) love and support in difficult situations where they help one another grow and learn. It really was/is great to watch.

So I let my guard down with season 3. Didn’t even question the fact that they had set it up for them both to be actively dating at the same time. Honestly don’t even mind that plot line, because it’s interesting to see these two adult characters having to move on from their previous relationships that ended for different reasons and see what doing so means for them. Especially with Sophie’s journey being well built and slowly worked through. It never felt like the show shied away from the fact that she could find someone else after losing Nate, but it allowed itself to acknowledge that she needed time to grieve and find herself again before doing so. Again, really well done.

But now we come to the question, and problem of, who she is supposed to be with. Because first it would be a little weird for her to end up with an one episode character, though maybe they could make it work with someone introduced in the next episode or two. But that’s debatable. Well what about the original crew? That only leaves Elliot as a choice, and despite remembering at least two episodes from the original series that had the two of them flirting with each other, that seems like a sudden and odd turn for their relationship without any real build up or reason (so far and hopefully forever). What about bringing back a character from the previous series? I mean they keep mentioning Sterling and I’m always happy to see Mark Sheppard. But that feels like sticking her with a Nate 2.0, and still doesn’t fit with their previous relationship and interactions. Well the series has clearly included more LGBT+ representation, what if Sophie dates a woman next? Cool, cool, we always love a bisexual queen. Doesn’t really solve the other issues though, does it? I mean the only established female character we have as an option I can think of is Tara (who I was so excited to see have a cameo), but that runs into some of the same roadblocks as the other two. Also there’s a whole different discussion to be had about suddenly making a character queer like that, but that’s for another time and another post. So taking all of that into consideration, who does that leave? Well the conveniently available, “newly” introduced male character that Sophie has spent the last 2 seasons bonding with.

And that is exactly what I was worried would happen when the show was first announced and the character of Harry Wilson was introduced. Did I think it would take, or that we would even get, 3 seasons to get there? No. Does that make it better in anyway? Still no. In fact, it makes it worse, because as I just said I have loved watching their current relationship form and how it has played out in the series and making them romantically involved kind of ruins it for me. So I’m here now literally praying that they won’t do it.

I’m sure there are people who ship them, and like good for you, no hate for the ship. I just prefer them in a platonic relationship, plus the added representation of a strong connection between characters of different sexes that doesn’t involve them being related, one or both being gay, or them eventually dating each other. So I personally can never get behind them being a couple, probably ever.

But yeah, that’s my take. Guess I’ll have to wait to see if I was right to be worried.

I adore the very few fics where the Leverage team find baby!Harry in the Dursleys doorsteps and then steal him away and such

But I have a better au idea.

Sterling is Tunia and Lily's half bro or smth or a relative he rarely talks to but he's a squib or just a normal muggle. He's called by Petunia the very same hour she finds Harry on the doorstep and tells him to take Harry. That she does not have the heart in her to actually take care of the orphan.

So Sterling raises Harry, maybe Harry meets Nate and eventually goes to Hogwarts.

And then grows to realize the Wizarding world ain't shit and decides to make his own con team after how long he's heard his adoptive dad get angry at Nate and his team.

Hermione is the perfect grifter or could be the team's Hardison idk yall choose.

Or

The normal route where one of the team members secretly watch Dumbbitch leave Harry and steal him away.

Maybe Sophie and Nate adopt him and the ot3 are his aunt and uncles or the ot3 are his adoptive parents and N and S are his grandparents.

I just need con artist Harry.

Sophie Devereaux from Leverage

If Sophie Devereaux (Leverage) was in Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire, which Great House of Westeros would they be part of or at least the most affiliated with?

House Targaryen

House Stark

House Lannister

House Baratheon

House Greyjoy

House Tully

House Arryn

House Martell

House Tyrell

Voting ended onJul 12, 2025

Ways to approach the poll if the character isn’t a royal:

If you think they’d be from a smaller house, go with the Great House that that smaller house is sworn to (ex: House Manderly —> vote Stark)

They don’t have to be a nobleperson, they can be someone working for the house or being ruled by them. Roles could be a sworn-sword, a septa, a butcher, a blacksmith, or even a lowly peasant.

You can consider the region itself. For example, if you feel the character would be from Dorne, pick House Martell.

You can consider the personality of the character. For example, if your character is all about honor, then consider either House Arryn or House Stark.

Last, but not least, be creative with it! For example, there was a comment I read that the character who was the subject of the poll would be pulling a Littlefinger, so they went with either Lannister or Tyrell as that would be that character’s target houses.
