Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer is a popular OT3 ship in the Leverage fandom, between the characters Alec Hardison, Parker, and Eliot Spencer. It is commonly referred to as the Leverage OT3.[1][2][3][4]
Canon
While the OT3 didn't go explicitly canon during the show's run, many fans read subtextual evidence for their relationship in the canon.
Word of God
Shortly after the series finale, one fan tweeted:[5]
[@rsadelle, Dec 27, 2012]
Um. Did John Rogers just use his series finale to make the OT3 basically canon? #Leverage
[John Rogers (@jonrog1, verified account), Dec 27, 2012]
@rsadelle You're welcome.
Some fans have interpreted this as word of god confirmation that the ship is canon.[6] Others are still unsure, or vaguely confused.[7]
In 2016, John Rogers had the following interaction with a fan in a less well-known tweet:[8][9]
[@shellygurumi, 8 May 2016]
If I could, I would edit the definition of "Rude" to include "John Rogers - The Long Goodbye Job" @jonrog1

@shellygurumi hey, we made the OT3 canon. That should buy us a little back.
