Leverage Fic - Tumblr Posts
Hello Leverage people :) this fandom is very fun and friendly here on tumblr, so I thought it might be nice to have a fanfiction recommendations page, to encourage writers in the fandom and to share the fics you love!
If you have any fic recs, please send them as an ask or submission. Please include the following information (*asterisk = optional):

Leverage Fic Rec:
you can hear it in the silence by AppleJuiz on AO3
Summary (from the author):
The thing about coding is that it’s all about languages. It’s learning new syntaxes and phrases and framings, it’s reshaping your brain to communicate in a new way, with something that feeds on logic and direct lines of thoughts.
Where everyone else looks at Parker and sees something irrational and confusing, he sees a language, he sees a system of logic with rules to be learned.
Hardison slowly becomes fluent in Parker and Eliot.
Why I recommend it: Beautifully written. Another brilliant ot3 fic. There’s never enough Hardison-POV fics in my opinion, I love how this one explores Hardison’s perspective. I also enjoy the Asexual!Parker head canon and this work explores it really well.

Title: The Hitter’s Girl
I recommend this story as I feel it’s a different take on a Eliot x female oc story. Kaira is a unique character who goes through her own arc and I feel has a good relationship with Eliot.
Content warnings: Individual chapters are marked with seperate warnings based on the chapters but there are mentions of DV, assault, and PTSD flashbacks.
Summary: This story follows Kaira Lynn Newton, ex army turned merc, and her partner Eliot Spencer as they join forces with Nate Ford, Sophie Deveraux, Alec Hardison, and Parker as they take down the rich and powerful while navigating their relationship and learning to change.
Things to note: I based the character of Kaira off of me. Also this is a part 1 and follows all episodes of Leverage.
thank you for the submission!

don’t let the madness change us by stardustandswimmingpools on AO3
Summary (from the author):
“Parker,” Eliot hisses at the ceiling vent, “what the fuck?"
Aw, shit.
“Aw, shit.” Hardison grimaces, rubbing his head. In the…excitement of the night, he completely forgot about Parker. “Parker, why are you in the ceiling?”
There's a long pause.
“I don't understand the question,” Parker says.
Why I recommend it: Adorable, funny, great fandom debut fic from the author. Another awesome Leverage OT3 fic, lots of hilarious lines. I especially liked how the Hardison/Eliot dynamic was written!
Leverage Fic Rec:
The Not Even Subtle Job by werewolfsmile on AO3
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/57632521 [Note: Must be signed in to view.]
Summary (from the author):
Parker, Hardison and Eliot are happily in love with each other. They keep their personal lives private but when it comes to those closest to them, they don't go out of their way to hide anything. Yet somehow, everyone seems completely oblivious to their relationship status. Like, come on, guys. They're not even subtle!

The different ways the rest of the team found out about our resident OT3.
Why I recommend it: A fun, humorous take on the Leverage OT3 and their friends, family and foes, set (so far) in Leverage: Redemption. Features POVs from many characters, including Breanna, Harry, Sophie and Cha0s.
Leverage Fic Rec:
what space faith can occupy by Anonymous on AO3
Summary (from the author):
"Parker has never felt so bad at loving than when they pulled Hardison out of his grave."
Further plot summary (by blog admin):
A Parker character study & episode coda to The Grave Danger Job, exploring Parker’s thoughts and emotions.
Why I recommend it: I love how Parker’s perspective is written in this fic. It feels incredibly accurate to her character, and it’s a perfect coda to/extra scene for the episode. Angsty, beautiful, hits you right in the feels!
Leverage Fic Rec:
The Principle of Least Action by newt426 on AO3
Summary (from the author):
After having a meltdown in front of the team, Parker is worried that she is "too much" for them. Hardison and Eliot make sure she knows that this isn't true.
Why I recommend it: I adored the portrayal of Parker’s POV and found the story very tender and comforting. I love when fics explicitly portray her autism and her experience of being autistic, as this fic does.
Leverage Fic Rec:
Audience: 822,000 and Homeland Security by WerewolvesAreReal on AO3
Summary (from the author):
Hardison starts a live-stream for Dragon Age to show off his new mods. And he kicks ass. But his viewers are actually a bit more concerned about the angry guy in the background of his videos, and the blond chick who keeps peering through his windows.
"Is this some kind of performance art," asks peskytroll341.
Why I recommend it: This fic has excellent writing and humor.

Leverage Fic Rec:
everything he needs by AppleJuiz on AO3
Summary (from the author):
This is how Parker knows she’s in love: because any other time she’s ever wanted something, she’s just taken it, but she doesn’t want to take Hardison, hoard him for herself when she doesn’t know how to love him right. She wants him to be happy. She wants to be what he deserves but if she can’t be, since she can’t be, she’ll… she’ll have to make sure he’s happy anyway.
***
Parker doesn’t know how to be in love with Hardison. She tries to get Eliot to do it for her.
Why I recommend it: One of my favourite Leverage fics ever! I highly recommend it. It feels incredibly true to Parker’s voice and it is wonderfully well-written. It’s a beautiful impression of Parker in the midst of her arc (season 4), trying to figure out love, emotions, relationships, and how to do "the right thing".
