Some Leverage recs....

[fleurlb]

Lately, I've been feeling kind of lazy in the writing department. The ideas are there in my head. The motivation to sit down at the computer is not.

Although I do have the motivation to sit down on the couch and finish the season 1 DVD commentaries. I was thrilled the other day when I saw this in Amy Berg's Twitter feed: "We provide leverage... and snarky, drunken commentary. Season two of Leverage out on DVD May 25th." Definitely a date that is now circled on my calendar. 

Fortunately, I also have the motivation to read other people's fic, so here are some recs...

11 Pipers - I think the prompt used to write the story says it all: "Eliot + Hardison + ninja. Which hopefully = awesome."

Spring Force - a beautiful character study of Parker, who is quickly racing up my list of favorite fictional characters. 

Go - I do so admire a well-written drabble - this one does so much with just 100 words. 

Poker Night - Does what it says on the tin, and quite amusingly and charmingly, I might add.

Tiger, Tiger - Sweet little fic showing a nice interaction between Eliot and Parker.

And, totally swimming in the shallow end of the pool, here's a fanvid of Eliot beating people up. Because really, it doesn't get much better than that.

Lookit you with your fancy new layout! I actually used that one for a while before I discovered the Chicago skyline and *had* to switch. :)

Thanks for the recs! The ninja/pirate one is especially awesome.n

You're the only person I've ever seen with the Chicago skyline, so I figured you'd made it yourself. :)

Glad you enjoyed the recs....I just reread the ninja/pirate one for like the fifth time and still laughed. Such good, fun stuff.

Ha! Definitely not. I don't even have any graphics software on my computer.

Parker is also one of my favorite fictional characters, which is funny because I didn't like her at first. But now she's tempting me to cut bangs.

Yeah, I always tell people that my brother got all the graphics skills in our family. I'm hopeless at anything more complicated than taking a screenshot.

But now she's tempting me to cut bangs.
Wow....high praise indeed. I'm still trying to grow mine out. They are at that annoying awkward phase of being long enough to hang completely over my eyes but too short to tuck behind my ears.

I had bangs for many years, and then I grew them about 6-7 years ago, but I've been thinking about cutting them again. Parker's hair in the season finale may have pushed me a little closer to doing it!
