Need Me Some Of That

Leverage Con Names

This a list of all the cons/scams/grifts that the Leverage team names during the show. Included is everything from a small one-on-one interaction between a grifter and a mark (eg. Little Orphan Annie) to full blown multilevel integrated cons (eg. The White Rabbit). If it had a name, it’s here.

If it has a black star beside it, it has a canon explanation or demonstration (eg. The Moonwalking Bear). If it has a white star, there were hints or comparisons made about it (eg. The Apple Pie is “like the Cherry Pie, but with lifeguards”). If it’s hyperlinked, it’s a real life scam and the link is to Wikipedia. If it’s totally unmarked, then the name was mentioned but never elaborated upon and is a part of the team’s beautiful argot. :)

On A Train by Bearblue on Ao3, one of my favs

Hi! I really hope someone can help find this fic. The part I remember is there was a photoshoot on a train (?) in a different country, and there was difficulty in communicating. The new 2nd assistant needed something for Miranda and she ended up getting help from Andy who travels and is very protective of her backpack and later helps them translate because she apparently knew the guy and his family so she shames him and says she's gonna tell his mother.

Louder for the people in the back: THE EMPIRE ARE SPACE NAZIS.

Whatever else they are, whatever representations of more modern evils they might be used as, The Empire was created to be Space Nazis.
