okay so i’m still on this bullshit but now i think if i were to write anything it would be a fic where quinn and eliot were already together pre-canon and someone was after quinn so quinn fakes his own death to keep eliot safe

and then they see each other in the airport hangar

[ID: Greyscale art showing Eliot lying unconscious on his side on a bed beneath a blanket, with bruises and blood visible on his face and one hand that’s poking out of the blanket, and his leg. Quinn is standing beside the bed, tying a tourniquet around Eliot’s leg, with blood transferring to his gloved hands and to the bedsheet beneath Eliot. There’s a first aid kit sitting on a table beside the bed, and the red of that and of blood are the only colours in the drawing. End ID]

[ID: Greyscale art of Quinn sleeping in a chair beside a bed where Eliot’s resting unconscious, with bandages visible about his ribs, bruises on his face, and an IV in his arm. There’s a slight flush to his cheeks and his brow is slightly furrowed, and there’s blood on Quinn’s shirt. The blood is the only colour in the image. End ID]

[ID: Greyscale art of Quinn packing an open wound in Eliot’s thigh, blood (coloured deep red) spilling from the wound and staining his gloves, while Eliot’s body is tensed in pain and Parker kneels beside the bed, one hand on Eliot’s shoulder and the other holding his hand, while she looks over at Quinn. End ID]

[ID: Greyscale art of Quinn wrapping a towel around Eliot’s shoulders. Eliot’s hair is wet and he has a tired expression. End ID]

Allies in The Last Dam Job

There's this fun bit of attention to detail In The Last Dam Job when they're discussing how to get Dubenich:

This isn't quite the full gif but what it is is that Sophie says that Dubenich is going to know every friend, every person that they would be expected to go to for help. And Nate looks at Eliot and goes "we find someone who is not a friend" to Sophie and Parker "someone who is not in the game" to Hardison "someone we do not trust." And that's exactly what happens.

Eliot recruits Quinn who we last saw trying to kick the shit out of Eliot:

Parker recruits Archie who is retired:

Sophie recruits Maggie who is the token honest friend in this heist show:

And Hardison recruits Chaos who they all hate for trying to kill Sophie:

It's just a good bit of attention to detail.

#i love this episode #also will give archie credit for immediately threatening/tasing chaos for teasing parker like that #leverage #leverage team #the last dam job #alec hardison #sophie devereaux #nate ford #parker #eliot spencer #leverage chaos #leverage quinn #maggie collins #leverage archie leech

another cracky E/Q prompt:

In the AU where Eliot thinks Quinn is a sex worker (after Quinn knows about the misunderstanding but Eliot does not), Eliot sees Quinn come back looking roughed up one too many times and offers to teach him how to defend himself.

Quinn is super amused and enthusiastically accepts the offer and pretends he doesn’t know how to fight.

Maybe at some point Eliot realizes Quinn has to be trolling because nobody could be this bad at fighting/learning how to fight.

Or maybe he doesn’t find out until they get found by someone Moreau sent after Eliot and Quinn rushes to Eliot’s defense and afterwards Eliot is like ‘hey wait a minute’.

(This could also be in any other AU where for some reason Eliot doesn't know what Quinn's day job is and Quinn finds this too funny set right.)

Two Horse Job

I've been sitting on this au for a while, it's unfinished, so only a handful of paragraphs.

The Two-Horse Job I’m taking liberties with Canon and Eliot’s back story. Willie Martin had two children, and Aimee was not Eliot’s high school sweetheart. (I repeatedly listened to Dasha’s Austin song on repeat while thinking about this, and it shows.)

—--------------------

Eliot was a few days shy of turning 18, while Quinn had turned 17 a few months back; they were up on the roof of Quinn’s house looking up at the stars, Quinn talking about the constellations with his head in Eliot’s lap.

Quinn had just finished telling the story of Ursa Major, his voice filled with wonder, when Eliot kissed him. It was a kiss that spoke of desperation, of a thirst that could only be quenched by Quinn. The angle was awkward: Eliot hunched over while Quinn arched his back up into the kiss, unaware of Eliot’s internal struggle. Had Quinn known what was going to happen next, he would have done more.

Eliot was gone the next day, taking only the bare essentials and getting on the first bus out of town, leaving everyone in his life behind without a second glance. Quinn kept the promise ring Eliot gave him all through his senior year, a symbol of their love and commitment, waiting for Eliot to come back. After graduation, he wore the ring on a chain around his neck as a reminder not to let anyone get that close again.

—--------------- Quinn never thought he’d return home, but Aimee called him one night on the burner phone he left her, her voice trembling with tears as she spoke about the horses and how Dad was in way over his head, and she didn’t know what to do.

So Quinn, transformed by a decade of life's trials, dropped everything and returned to Kentucky. Aimee almost didn’t recognize him at first, this stranger standing at her doorstep; his hair was longer and pulled back into a neat, low ponytail. He was wearing a suit that fit him perfectly, and he had a nasty bruise on his cheek, but Aimee would recognize her brother anywhere.

“Look at you,” Aimee says, hugging him tightly. “All grown up,”

“Ten years will do that to a person,” Quinn teases, unwilling to let go of his sister.

re: "All I’m saying is the fact that someone isn’t talking to me about Eliot Spencer every second of every day is very unfair and borderline illegal." & tags - if you want to, can you elaborate on your werewolf!eliot ideas?? i’d like to hear about it!! if not all good tho :)

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Yes I would love to elaborate! (buckle up because i have Thoughts)

(wow this really got away from me so uhhh .... warning for 2k of ranting about Eliot as a werewolf?? list of headcanons under the cut)

From the moment I first met Eliot Spencer, I knew he was werewolf-coded. Aside from his insanely fantastic fighting abilities and the absurd amount of punishment he can take, there are many other factors that contribute to his werewolf status.

Eliot needs a pack Our boy is out here working on his own for years and look at all the good it did him! None! He carries severe trauma from his family life because he blames himself for how it all went down and doesn't think he'll be welcomed back. Plus something probably happened during his military days or early PMC days to put him off working with others. Could have been the pain of losing people all the time, could have been something more. Either way, Eliot working on his own is a defence mechanism - but a self-destructive one.

Wolves thrive in packs - like duh, they're pack animals. As my username suggests, I'm into werewolves and, by extension, wolves. I've done research for my own werewolf novels in the past, so I know that in an average wolf pack, each pack member will have physical contact with the other pack members on the regular. Like, several times an hour! (gosh if I can find the research paper this info came from I'll link it but honestly it's been years) That's a serious level of physical contact required to keep the emotional bonds of the pack healthy!

Flick back to Eliot. He loves to fight, he loves the violence and the pain, yes. He hates the killing and the blood on his hands. He actually tries to leave the assassin world behind after he meets Toby (which is before he meets Moreau, as per early dialogue in The French Connection Job). He bonds quickly with Toby. Show Eliot a little love and care and he's yours for life! He moves onto retrieval work, then somehow ends up working for Moreau.

Now, when we see Eliot and Moreau in The Big Bang Job, Moreau says, "You work alone." Which means that Eliot had that reputation when he came to Moreau. He probably only took contracts to start off with. But he accepted job after job from Moreau and was so good that he was highly respect and it's inferred he ended up as Moreau's top bodyguard/assassin. Why the hell would Eliot end up that close to a man who brings out all the worst in him? Because Eliot's a werewolf and no matter how toxic, Moreau fulfills the need for a pack bond that he's been missing all this time.

Fast forward to Eliot meeting the rest of the Leverage team. One job only - my ass. He saves Hardison's life after Hardison brought a gun to their little meeting - and we all know how Eliot feels about guns.

Wolves are designed to live and operate in packs. Eliot says it's one job only but is bonding with them all from the get-go. Werewolf trait confirmed.

Eliot needs physical touch Now, I know what you're thinking. Eliot canonically avoids physical contact with the team. He refuses hugs, especially from Hardison, growls at Parker poking his bruises (don't get me started on the growls), and shoves people (ahem Parker) out of his personal space. So why would he do all this if he needs physical touch??

Because he's one gigantic ball of angst and self-loathing and guilt.

Eliot doesn't think he deserves forgiveness or love or family, etc. That is a whole other rant, but he denies himself the physical contact he needs with others as a way of punishing himself.

However, as the series progresses, we see him become more comfortable with physical contact! He hugs Hardison several times, he doesn't move away from Parker, etc. Why? Because he's bonded with this team (ahem pack) and there's only so much he can suppress his instincts. The more time he spends with them, the more naturally the contact flows.

Eliot needs to protect others Whenever we get a scene of the team walking as a group, where is Eliot positioned 90% of the time?? That's right, at the back of the group. He lets the others walk in pairs and falls back to bring up the rear. He's keeping them all in his line of sight and constantly scanning for threats ahead, along with protecting the team from any rear attacks. It makes sense for him to do this given his military background, but it also makes sense for a werewolf to do this.

He's the only werewolf in the team. His instincts revolve around keeping the pack safe and protected, so he does that in the best way he knows how.

Not to mention how feral gets over kids!!

Wolf life is all about the pack and the family structure. Pups are integral to the pack's survival and future. Eliot doesn't have kids of his own. But that doesn't stop his instincts from blaring every time he interacts with a kid, be it on the con or off. He takes time out every time to help that kid in an attempt to calm the raging storm of instincts inside his body.

Eliot needs to feed others It's another werewolf instinct that rears its head when they're in the safety of their headquarters (ahem den). Protecting the team/pack from physical threats is just one aspect of taking care of them. Feeding them is the other major one.

None of these idiots can cook to save their lives - except Nate, but he's also drowning his liver 90% of the time, so Eliot has to compensate for that, too. The team can't operate at full capacity if they're not consuming good nutrition. So Eliot makes sure to feed them.

His humanity recognises that these are independent people - coworkers - and he can't control every meal of every day. But he can cook for them, once a week or once a job, which is just enough to satisfy his instincts that he's doing his part to care for them. Plus they love his cooking, and the praise he gets from it is an unexpected but pleasant bonus.

Eliot and team sports/kitchens This ties in with my first point about Eliot needing a pack, but all the times we see Eliot go super hard and get absorbed in the role he's playing are when he's on a team sport or he's in the kitchen. Both of these fulfill super important instincts for him - being in a team/pack and providing food for others.

Think about The Tap-Out Job. Eliot's playing a fighter but he's not pretending to be on a team. He doesn't get over-invested in the role. But what about when he's a baseball player? A hockey player? He falls into those roles hard because he's working with another team again, and this little werewolf is built for that environment. Same in The French Connection: the kitchen becomes his den, the students are his pack mates, and he goes hard at investing in them and protecting them. Never mind the personal aspect of Toby.

Same for episodes like The Fairy Godparents Job when we get a scene of Eliot teaching a bunch of girls self-defence. Team setting + protecting kids = happy werewolf instincts.

So, werewolf headcanons? I have a lot of different origin theories but the main one I like for Eliot is:

he became a werewolf either for a covert military op, or was bitten by Moreau (choose your own angst flavour)

if it was for the military, they were trying to engineer supersoldiers and he was deemed a failure; he has werewolf instincts all the time but only has enhanced strength, healing, etc on full moons

if it was bitten by Moreau, there's a psychic-style bond linking them, which is why he was so loyal to Moreau for so long, and also why he is so reluctant to go after Moreau

(wow this is too different theories already and i said this was my 'main one' whoops)

Eliot can only shift easily on the full moon; shifting outside of a full moon can only be caused by extreme stress and is ridiculously painful

he suffers an insanely high prey drive all the time and is so strict about his control because he doesn't actually wanna rip out the throat of Random Guard #3

he used to chain himself up for full moons so he didn't hurt anyone, but since the team found out about him, Hardison and Parker have taken it upon themselves to 'puppy-sit' him every full moon

this involves no chains but an obscene amount of dog chew toys. Eliot is never impressed. He also never chases or chews the toys. The video evidence Hardison has was obviously doctored.

Hardison and Parker found out the truth when a con went sideways and Eliot was trapped in a room with them during the full moon

he was terrified he was going to kill them - or worse, bite them - but his instincts recognised them as pack so instead he just tried to wrestle with them all night

Hardison had a major freak out when he discovered Eliot was a werewolf - it's one thing to be obsessed with sci-fi/fantasy, it's another thing entirely to see your best friend transform before your eyes

Parker was not even remotely phased, being all like, "pfft of course werewolves are real, I thought you knew that Hardison, you talk about your elves and orcs all the time!"

"Woman that is completely different and you know it!"

"What else do you think is fake? The tooth fairy?? Ha!"

Eliot is Done With Their Shenanigans

Parker only ever refers to Eliot as Sparky when he's in his wolf form

Sophie didn't actually know about werewolves before the reveal but she pretends that she did

Nate knew about werewolves before Eliot, he just chooses to pretend that they're Not A Thing

werewolves generally don't make good hitters, because the constant exposure to violence ramps up their hunting instincts aka they find it hard not to kill

of course, this doesn't matter if you're someone like Moreau who specifically wants killing machines and thus turns his top hitters into werewolves, to ensure loyalty and enhance his strength

the only other werewolf hitter not under Moreau's control that Eliot knows is Quinn, who most certainly did not pull his werewolf strength punches when they tousled in The First David Job

Quinn doesn't have a pack (werewolf or otherwise) and genuinely doesn't seem phased by this, which pisses off Eliot to no end

however, after they work together in The Last Dam Job, Quinn deems himself Eliot's Best Werewolf Bud and keeps popping up randomly to hang out on full moons, etc

Parker and Hardison are a bit weirded out (and a little jealous) of Quinn's attention initially, but soon get over that when they discover that two werewolves on a full moon absolutely play for hours like 6 month old puppies - especially with the tug rope

Eliot is Extremely Susceptible to belly rubs even in his human form, which is half the reason he pushes people out of his personal space a lot - his reputation would never survive anyone finding out

of course the entire team figures it out and take to ambushing him with belly rubs whenever he's being stubborn or annoying

belly rubs are also the only way he will relax enough when he's injured so they can treat his wounds

despite the incessant dog jokes, the ever-growing pile of dog toys, and the bowls labelled with "Sparky" and cartoon bone symbols ... Eliot absolutely adores the pack he's found himself in and wouldn't change them for the world

One of these days I will sit down and write a thousand fics for werewolf!Eliot! Till then, I'll just keep churning out the headcanons ;)
