I know! I gasped at that scene and went "they actually had him say that!" and then the show did *nothing* with it after that ep (and all they had him do was "approve" of Hardison, which was like "what, really, that's ALL you do with that???"). And the show has Archie come off a lot better in some ways than I think of him, lol. Dealing with that would've been way more interesting than some of the stuff they did in S5, in my opinion.
I've probably read your fic, too, I just can't remember as I've been reading chronologically through both AO3 and ff.n so my recs tend to be "stuff I read during this last week" not "everything I thought was really good". When I get through it (and finish processing metadata for the Yahoo Groups Fandom Rescue Project) I plan on working on my fanfic database again and can't wait to enter the Leverage fics into it, because then I might actually be able to *find* half the awesome fics I've read again. :)
