He's basically a fannish geek made real good.

That's what I love in his blog where he suddenly geeks out. Hee. Love.

I rewatched The Second David Job last night, and I just have to sigh about Parker/Hardison. What a gentle little ship I have for those two. They're so adorable.

Parker is so broken that I don't think she realises the sexual content of everything she does, that other people will react to her sexually--she's the anti-Sophie that way. But she gets she likes Hardison.

And Hardison, bless him, looks like a shyish uncertain regular guy. He likes her, and he's clearly intending to pursue it, but he doesn't know the best way to approach her. And he gets frustrated.

Poor noodles.

I think Parker gets a little something, I really liked "how hard will you try to find me?"

I think she wants him to like her, but has no idea what being cared for feels like or involves. Hence the running and the test.

And I think she likes him, she just doesn't know what to do.

I loved his asking her where she'd be. It wasn't all piney or anything, but he also wasn't shy of showing he had a particular interest in her.

Oh, the fic possibilities...

I know! It's the best little 'ship evah because it feels so organic. Like the reasons those two crazy kids aren't together already make total sense.

None of that "So what you're saying is that we shouldn't?" "Well, is that what you're saying?" crap.

John better not disappoint me. But the thought that multiple people put into why Nate/Sophie couldn't work at least in S1 gives me hope. They better not change the creative team substantively.

Okay, so I need, need I tell you, Leverage icons and I'm out trolling for screencaps. A, the screencap sites are annoyingly arranged. And B, since I watched all in a jumble, I can't remember which bits are from which.

I need to make two Hardison icons, one "Age of the Geek, baby" which is from the pilot, yes? And one "Seriously? Seriously!" with him upside down outside the window with Parker. But I can't remember which ep that was in, or how far into the ep, and I'm randomly scrolling through thousands of screencaps and GRUMP!

Help a sister out?

"Age of the geek, baby" is what he says shortly after he meets Parker in the pilot. Eliot asks him how she's going to react when she finds out he lives with his mother (later demonstrated not true).

The "Seriously? Seriously!" I think is shortly after he doesn't want to rappel with her because he remembered gravity and the squishiness of his manly bits...but that's not helping me remember the episode. I'll think on it.

I thought that was the pilot also? With the rappelling?

I just skimmed through the pilot, and no, it's not there. The age of the geek line is 4 minutes in, if that helps, Liese.
