leverage season 1 plot

[wishfulstargazer]

Greatest Leverage trope imo is when something inexplicably weird is happening or some distinctly important law of physics and universe is being broken and it's all explained with a simple and succinct - 'She's Parker.'

[wishfulstargazer]

The Nigerian Job is such a special pilot to me. “THE Parker?” “Is there someone better?” “No, but Parker is insane”. “I don’t even know what it is you do” to “That’s what I do”. The OT3 elevator scene. Eliot helping to haul Hardison out of the warehouse before it explodes. Their mini-con escape from the hospital. “What’s in it for me?” “Payback, and if it goes right, a lot of money” “What’s in it for me?” “A lot of money, and if it goes right, payback” and “I was just gonna send 1000 porno magazines to his office but hell yeah”. The Sophie “this isn’t her stage” reveal. The bait and switch that they meant for Dubenich to know he was being conned. “It’s a walk away job” but none of them do. “So go find some bad guys. Bad guys have money.” It does so much good work to establish what this show and these characters could become without jumping the gun on making them get too close too fast.

Like, the thesis of the episode is Nate’s “You all know what you can do, but I know what you can do together” and it’s such a fantastic way to handle a pilot because it’s all about potential: we understand immediately that these people are already hyper competent, but by the end of the episode we see what they could become together too. It’s about showing you the tentative beginnings of this partnership and all the space it still has to grow.

Reblogging so I can find it when I want all the good things.

Sarnakh’s Official Julian/Jadzia rec list

@hopecomesbacktolife asked for Star Trek/drworm recs, so I’ve finally gone and put one together 

- @icepixie‘s the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart series, in which Jadzia finally says yes

- Scientific Collaborations and what we pretend to be, also by icepixie, the latter of which is a phenomenal fake-relationship-to-real-relationship fic predicated on typical Star Trek ‘oh no we’re stuck together’ shenangians. The former is just the two of them being nerds in love, which is my favorite flavor of drworm

You Can Have My Heart, written by SkullFeather3063 for their One-Shot Rare Pair Palooza a couple of years ago. Jadzia gets hurt, and Julian takes care of her. Established relationship

put a sock in it! by anonymous. Technically the only J/J in this fic is fantasizing, but I’ve always liked it. Rated Explicit.

No Strings Attached by @starpriseentership (if I’ve correctly linked Ao3 and tumblr), rated M. 

Dark Dreams by kronette, a vampire AU fic. I haven’t read it in a while but it’s very good. Vampirism begets horror elements, so keep that in mind as you read.

Aristeia by @mylittleredgirl , a phenomenal oneshot following the events of Profit Motive

and finally to wrap the Julian/Jadzia fic recs up specifically, we have the Greensleves AU on fanfiction.net by ScopesMonkey, with some sequels slash associated works on the author’s profile, and I think the longest J/J fic/series I’ve ever read.

My own Julian/Jadzia fics number three currently (not counting an Evil Author Day fic from a couple of years ago that’s just scraps/unfinished ficlets):

Beaches of Chi’tar, AKA Julian meets the Idaris Family for Trill Thanksgiving. 9k oneshot that got wildly out of hand

Various drabbles in my Star Trek drabble collection

And We Are Dax, an AU where the Trill symbiotes behave like the Venom Symbiotes and at the moment is just a rewrite of Tears of the Prophets (and of the readers) with some minor J/J elements I intend to expand on eventually.

I’ll put some very old J/J fics I haven’t seen anywhere else in a reblog, as well as some more generic ds9 fic recs, but I wanted to have this as its own separate post so I can throw this at people later if convert more frens :D
