#peggy leverage

[silverknight338]

watching leverage and i feel like im seeing with my third eye:

peggy has a HUGE crush on parker. like she 100% thinks parker is super cute when they first meet, but then she thinks why would parker be gay, and then be sad that parker and hardison are together and be like damn i missed my chance

and then parker will be like "yeah so my boyfriends and i"

and peggy is like wtf that can happen!?

so in leverage: redemption, parker mentions that hurley and peggy are still some of her friends, and we’ve seen that hurley is now part of leverage international. and back in the original leverage series, in the girls night out job, we saw hurley & peggy meet and it was hinted that they might start a relationship… do we think that they actually started dating? that they’re possibly still together? that peggy now knows for real what parker does? i wish we could see parker trying to explain what she does and peggy reacting to her friend being a prolific thief and her boyfriend joining an international criminal organisation. also i think it would be fun to see peggy again, especially if we got peggy & hurley as a couple!

Who's your favorite Leverage side character? Like Tara, Hurley, Quinn, etc.

hi! ooh its hard to pick, i really like how leverage often gives a fair amount of personality to even just single-episode characters, let alone recurring ones. i love tara, love some of their villains-turned-kinda-allies like sterling & cha0s, etc.

however, maggie is probably my overall favourite. well, more accurately, parker is my favourite main character and her interactions with maggie are very sweet & funny, and therefore that makes me like maggie even more lol. it’s sweet how parker immediately becomes sort of attached to maggie when they meet properly in the second david job. see the following Q&A from john roger’s blog post about the zanzibar marketplace job:

aw parker <3

but anyway, maggie is great just in general, too! i like how she can spot the con stuff that no one else in the leverageverse seems to see. she notices the button camera, mentions that "the receptionist" (parker) at the plane hangar disappeared, recognises sophie & doesn’t just brush it off when sophie pretends to be someone else, hears the difference in nate’s normal speaking vs talking into comms, etc. she’s very perceptive probably bc her whole job is spotting inconsistencies - seeing the little details that mean an art piece is a forgery.

i like to imagine that the leverage team runs into her about once every year or two, some way or another. like "ah no maggie got kidnapped again ://" or "why are YOU at this art auction??" etc. and i think parker, hardison & eliot would occasionally check in on her post-nate & sophie’s exit. she’d get christmas cards, you know? sometimes the team is in town and maggie knows this because parker has inexplicably appeared in her living room in the dead of night. etc. about 99% of the time, maggie lives a pretty normal life, and then occasionally she’s watching tv and eliot is on the news holding a puppy or hardison is advertising some children’s toy and she just has to exist with that knowledge lol.

recently i’ve also been thinking about peggy & hurley a bit too. in the girls/boys night out jobs, they met and it seemed like they might get together. and in redemption, parker has mentioned that peggy and hurley are still her friends. we’ve also seen that hurley has become part of leverage international. it would be cool if peggy & hurley were still together, and at some point peggy has had to learn a bit more about her friend alice white and what her bf/husband does for work! i mean, even if peggy & hurley are not together, i kinda wanna know what parker’s friendship with peggy is like now! it’s been over a decade, does she know what alice/parker does? or does parker like keeping that part of her life, her alice identity, somewhat separate? plus not knowing would probably help prevent endangering peggy. idk! thoughts anyone??

thank you for the ask!!

wish there was more parker & peggy (from jury duty) content in leverage :( i love parker having a friend for years even when they’re all in danger or on jobs and stuff
