# CHANGEFIRST.   an independent & private interpretation of   𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻   from the leverage revival series,   𝙻𝙴𝚅𝙴𝚁𝙰𝙶𝙴: 𝚁𝙴𝙳𝙴𝙼𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽.   ex - evil lawyer turned con man for good.  heavily headcanon based with inspiration drawn from the original series.  minors & personal blogs dni. on a journey of redemption overseen by becker  ( she / her | twenty-seven | low activity ).

a study in …   realizing you’ve been the villain in the story this whole time,  redemption being a process with no end date,  an inward reflection of guilt and responsibility, looking into a mirror and hating what you see,  and understanding that law is not a guideline for morality.

Just some historical tidbits concerning the State of the Union Address.

“To what?”“To give you more time.”“Time?”“To be Kate.”“I don’t understand.”He draws in a deep breath, stepping back away from me. “Yes, you do.”“I don’t.Explain.”“Princess is the girl I’ve been hired to protect. Grim is the woman your father wants you to be, but Kate… She’s the person who has a chance to choose.”..... As I watch him drive away, one thought pops into my head…It’s already too late. I’ve made my choice.I want to be Queen of Tales, and I want Beast too.”-Grim&Beast

“So what’s in that?” I ask, pointing at the metal box on the counter.“Hearts.”“Hearts? What do you mean, hearts?” I ask, looking between him and the metal box. “You’re not suggesting…” My voice trails off when he nods.“They’re for you.”“Me?! Why the hell would I want their hearts, Beast?” I screech, my own heart thumping so hard against my rib cage that I swear he can hear it.“They wronged you so I took their hearts. Just like I promised I would. Though I’m sorry I turned up looking like this,” he apologises, grimacing at the mess he’s making. “Should’ve changefirst.”“Wait, just back up a minute,” I say, holding my hands up as he watches me, a smirk pulling up his lip.Part of me feels sick at the thought of their hearts sitting in a metal box on the goddamn kitchen counter, but another part of me, a much bigger part, is turned on by it. He brought me their hearts. If that’s not something straight out of a Grimms’ fairy tale, I don’t know what is.Beast is the hunter of my story, except instead of cutting out the heart of a virgin, he’s cutting out the hearts of her enemies instead.“Are you honestly moreconcerned about not changing rather than the fact you actually brought me their hearts?”He shrugs. “I’ve got standards.”“But you brought me their hearts, Beast!” I practically shout. “That’s not normal behaviour.”“You were right there when I warned them, Princess. Why is this such a surprise? I told you. I’m a killer,” he says calmly, and in such a way it sounds like he’s trying to discourage me from liking him. The opposite couldn’t be more true. This is probably the most fucked-up, most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me.”-Grim & Beast

“Princess, what are you doing?” Beast asks me as I climb up onto the stage and exaggerate the sway of my hips as I walk towards the pole. This is the song I’ve been practising my routine to and it’s so perfect for how I’m feeling right now.“What does it look like I’m doing?” I respond sarcastically, refusing to be embarrassed by my outburst. I don’t care that he knows I’m in a constant state of arousal. I don’t care that he knows I’m attracted to him, and angry at him, and grateful for him for being here and trying to have my back even though the whole issue of my dad trying to curb my actions pisses me off.“It looks like you’re about to put on a show,” he says.“You know where the door is, you’re welcome to leave at any time.”He reaches for a chair flipping it around, then straddles it, leaning his arms over the back rest. “You know what? I think I’ll stay,” he says, locking eyes with me.“Suit yourself,” I reply, then step in front of the pole, press my arse against the cold metal and slut drop to the floor, spreading my thighs open wide and flashing Beast my lycra covered p***y.”-Grim&Beast

Right here and now, I let go of the pretence, the barrier I’ve built between us, and for one fucking moment I allow myself to believe I can have her, that there isn’t a fucking ocean between us filled with sharks all wanting to rip us apart. I allow myself to believe that she’s my queen, and I’m whatever she wants me to be. That we’ll be together for the rest of our motherfucking lives.-Beast

Kissing Kate is like the sun coming out after an eclipse, brightening everything, warming my skin, shining a light on the connection we share, the one I’ve been a fool to deny, and it feels good.Fuck, it feels better than good.It feels perfect.She’s fucking perfect.There’s no doubt in my mind that she’s mine, that I’m hers. That we fucking belong together. I don’t give a shit about how that might make me sound.I’m in love.I’m. In. Love.-Beast

“Once again you failed to consider that I had a say in all of this. Me. I don’t need a man to make decisions for me, I need a man who’s willing to stand beside me whilst we find a solution together. You’re just like all the rest.”“Kate, you don’t understand…”“Don’t. Not another word, Beast.”“I did this for us, for you. I fucking love you,” I say, willing her to believe me. Needing her to know, if nothing else, that’s the truth.“Love?” she laughs bitterly.“People like you and me don’t get to love.”Then she points her gun at me and pulls the motherfucking trigger.”-Beast&Grim

“We belong together, you and me,” he murmurs as I struggle internally, wanting to let him in, knowing that I shouldn’t.He lowers his head slowly towards mine, and in the short time it takes for him to lean closer, Grim comes back fighting. I shove at his chest, taking a step back and putting space between us.“I don’t belong to anyone, Beast. I don’t need to be loved by you. I do just fine without that bullshit in my life!” I lie, my chest heaving as we stare at one another.“We both know that isn’t true, because this thing we have, this connection, it ain’t going away. We’re inevitable, you and me…”And he’s right. We are.”-Grim & Beast

“I want you to know that I will protect, honour and obey you until the day I motherfucking die. No man will be a better soldier than me, and no one, no one will love you as fiercely as I do,” he says, hauling me upright and tugging me against his chest. “I love you. I fucking love you so damn much.”My heart swells and a flash of possession strikes my chest as his words echo the feelings in my own heart. Pushing back a little, I capture his gaze with mine. “And just so we’re clear, you’re mine just as much as I am yours, and I will kill anyone who tries to take you from me.”-Grim &Beast

"For the first time ever, I let the tears fall.Not because I’m weak.Not because I’m a bleeding heart.Not because I’m an emotional woman.But because I’m relieved, and I’m scared.Loving someone should be the best thing to happen to any person, but loving Beast is dangerous. For us both.I know that all too well. "-Grim

“You once told me that you didn’t want a man who wasn’t one thousand percent certain that it was you he wanted. I’m a million percent certain. I always fucking was. I came back for you and I ain’t leaving until you understand that,” I cut in, breathing heavily.“Do you understand?” I repeat.She nods, the look she gives me telling me everything. The barrier she’d put up when I last saw her finally drops and right there in the depths of her gaze is yearning. She wants me as badly as I want her. “Yes, I understand.”........One minute my arms are empty and the next they’re filled with her.With my woman.My. Fucking. Woman.-Beast & Grim

“You own my fucking heart!” I grind out as her scent consumes my senses and I pull her flush against my damp skin, my fucking heart pounding and my dick rock hard against her stomach. “I will do whatever it takes to be by your side. Whatever you fucking need, I’ll do it. I fought those fuckers to show you just how much you belong to me, how much I belong to you.”“Yes,” she hisses, air rushing out of her chest as she reaches for me. “You’ve always been mine. You always will be.”-Beast & Grim

"She matches my passion with her own.We’re teeth and tongue, lips and saliva.We’re frenzied and frantic.Our kiss is messy and fucking hot. It stokes the fire within me to dangerous, billowing heights.This is two years of pent-up sexual tension exploding like an atom bomb between us. This is pain and anguish, heartbreak and hate. This is longing and need, lust and passion.This is love."-Beast

“        so.  eliot  and  i  discussed  everything.  and  murdering  you  is  officially  off  the  table.  .  .  .  you’re  welcome.        ”

            “Did no one tell you?” Oh there had been a vague mention that they had met through Nate Ford, but nothing further than that, clearly. She can’t help but laugh. “Oh, they really didn’t.” Was she surprised? Not entirely. “I was Nate Ford’s first wife.” Of course the friendship between her and Sophie had grown on it’s own, which is why she was now here.

@changefirst​ ;; maggie for harry

what  kind  of  “i  love  you”  are  you  ?

the  confession,

                 when  you  say  “i  love  you,”  it  carries  the  whole  weight  of  your  heart.  it  feels  like  closing  your  eyes  and  stepping  off  a  cliff.  maybe  you’ve  been  planning  to  tell  them  for  days  now,  or  maybe  it’s  just  slipped  out  without  you  realising.  either  way,  it  was  inevitable.  it’s  relief  and  dread  all  at  once,  it’s  mortifying  yet  hopeful.  the  words  hang  heavy  and  suspended  in  the  air,  thick  enough  to  choke  on,  a  brief  and  perilous  moment  against  the  mortal  pull  of  gravity.

@changefirst: “ i didn't think that would work. ”

" yeah , me either . " words are spoken with a touch of irritation ; a touch of gravity . eliot crosses his arms , glowering in harry's general direction . logically , he knows not to be pissed at harry for a con going ass - up . sometimes , that's just the way it happens . that's why he's here : to protect them when the con goes ass - up . and , in the first place , he's not really mad that things went wrong . if anything , that's the most normal part about this . what's concerning to him is :

" maybe the guy who throws up when he hits someone with a shovel shouldn't be tryin' to punch guys , though . "
