#we provide... leverage

[flamingspade]

Coming to the realization that I watched Leverage with my mom when I was young.

All those points the show made about corrupt corporations and the way health insurance gets to decide if you live or die, and rich people getting to do whatever they want cause "they have all the money and all the power".

Went right over her head.

Even though we watched this show together and rooted for the bad guys getting taken down and being held accountable.

She turned around and voted for one.

OH NOOO ALL OF THE TITLES LOOK SO INTERESTING BUT... I just finished Leverage: Redemption so we gotta go with that one. "we provide... leverage" 👀

ask me about my wip list?

i loveeeee leverage. i watched the original show this year and just fell in love with all of it. it's so good. haven't started on redemption yet but i'm excited to do so. anyways. since u mentioned the other titles looked interesting, i realized that i've actually talked abt a lot of them before! so i went and added links to all of the ones that have come up on my blog in some form. hope that helps.

anyways. as the title suggests. this fic is a leverage fic. specifically it is a leverage crossover fic, with daredevil (the tv show). i've been watching it with a couple of friends (on s2 now) and like. matt murdock is so pitiful. everything keeps going wrong for him and i think he really Needs A Win. he's also catholic.

you know who else is catholic? and like, has big feelings about Justice?

that's right! nate ford! so this wip doc is just a bunchhhh of bullet points abt what a crossover ep would look like, where it's like... standard leverage episode, but the daredevil crew (karen and foggy and matt) are the clients. figuring out how to balance leverage's relatively optimistic tone with daredevil's moody misery is a fun puzzle, but the biggest thing is figuring out what exact point in canon for both shows i'd like to place this in.

here's a little snippet. eliot's trying to teach claire from daredevil some self-defense:

“Sorry,” Claire said, eyes flickering between Parker and Eliot. “You want me to beat a man… who’s already been beaten up? The guy that I just stitched up?” A stray thought came to her—even Matt wouldn’t do this—and she bit down a hysterical giggle.  “I’m a hitter,” Eliot said, gruffly. “I take hits. It won’t bother me.”  “It bothers me!”

Yes, hi I'm crying

One my favorite things about Leverage is the way the team always acts whenever they have to interact with politics/politicians. They are just always so disturbed and it’s hilarious.
