Alec Hardison, if pressed, would probably suggest that he subscribes to a post-modern definition of identity.

Leverage, OT3, five times Nate (or Sophie) thought that Hardison, Eliot and Parker were sleeping together, and one time that they actually were.

"We have the technology. We have the capability... Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." Notes: Hardison's story, companion to The Empath. Thanks to [info]hannasus for the beta.

Empathy is the capacity to recognize and, to some extent, share feelings (such as sadness or happiness) that are being experienced by another sapient or semi-sapient being.

Parker walks in on Eliot pleasuring himself but doesn't realize. She decides to stay and chat. Eliot isn't happy

So Alec had randomly mentioned that he was actually just gonna stay home on Thanksgiving and yes, as Eliot so awesomely put it, "play stupid video games."

waking up to ash and dust: Eliot doesn't like hospitals. There are a few reasons for that. like you know i am better than the worst thing i ever did: “I’m goin’ to die for them,” he says to Sophie, before he ever says it to Nate, and it is not a simple statement of fact but a barebones confession, the helpless bleeding of a wound that he was too smart to not know had been made but he’d been putting pressure of for years, hoping that with spit and a prayer that he could make it heal, but he never could, isn’t sure that the stitches that could close that wound have even been invented. “Yes,” she says, “And how long have you known that?”

The ability to render oneself intangible at will occasionally turns up as a superpower. These questions you have? Don't ask them. Notes: Takes place before The Empath and We Can Rebuild Him, but after Entropy and Chaos Magic.

Leverage, Were!any/any(/any), The realisation that lycanthropy is spread through bodily fluids and so sex is totally out of the question.

Leverage, Hardison/Eliot/Parker, They can't say it with words but it's hidden in their actions (mostly in the ones no one else would ever guess)
