Prompt: Artemis’s planning process for the homicide with malice aforethought of Icicle

(It changed as I was writing it but i hope it scratches the itch)

Artemis finds Rick in the hall before third period. 

"Hey," she says. He nods in acknowledgement and waits for her to say why she's blocking his locker. 

"Why are you blocking my locker?" he asks after a long moment. 

"You know stuff about Chemistry. Your dad was some kind of genius, right?" 

Rick blinks. He wasn't aware Artemis had even thought about the old JSA. 

"I know some," he says. "Not as much as my dad. You should probably ask Cindy."

"No. I can't ask Cindy."

"Why not?"

"Because she'll make this about her. She's not exactly a team player. You are."

Rick rolls his neck. " Right, I'm going to assume that's a compliment. Now, I need my textbook."

"Of course it's a compliment. So. Will you help me?"

"With what?" Rick asks, glancing down the hall. It's busy, but everyone's wrapped up in their own nonsense. 

"I have a lot of my... my dad's stuff. For his pucks. Explosives, compounds, but I need to make sure I've got it right. I need something that'll burn on water."

"Oh," Rick says, with dawning clarity. He takes a deep breath, thinking about what Beth would say. What Courtney would think. He dismisses it. "Yeah. Okay. I'll pick you up after your practice."

"I can walk," Artemis says.

"We can't plan this in the Pitstop," Rick counters.  "I've got space. no one will even notice a few practice explosions."

"Oh, right." Artemis nods. She holds out her hand. Rick shakes it.

"See you then."

~

It takes some effort to get the compound right. Rick's father's book has some of his notes on chemistry, but mostly how it relate to the Hourglass. Still, they make it work through trial and error. A lot of error. The farm field is littered with tiny craters, but it's not like there are any neighbors to worry about.  They test mixture after mixture on frosted over mornings, until they have something that will work. 

For the first time in two months, Artemis smiles. Rick shovels dirt, the hourglass glowing around his neck. Slowly, the smoke dissipates.

They can't find Icicle alone. 

Rick's the one who asks Beth for help.

She takes a long look at him, and at Artemis, and bites her lip before making a choice. 

"I don't want to know why you need the weather tracked. I don't want you to tell me. Okay?"

"Okay," Rick agrees for them both. 

"And promise me you'll be safe."

Rick nods. "Cross my heart," he says. 

Icicle is in Denmark. Not Norway, which was their first thought, not back in Southern California, not Siberia. Denmark. Half a world away, Jordan Mahkent has no idea that he's going to die, soon. 

Artemis reaches out to Cindy, who doesn't buy plane tickets on her phone on the spot. Instead she texts for a moment, and looks up. "Private plane. Out of Oakville, tomorrow night. Well, out of a field in Oakville. No customs or bag check that way."

"Good, Artemis says, shivering. December's dark comes on fast in Nebraska.

"I could come with you," Cindy offers, uncharacteristically lowkey about it. "For backup." She recognizes the hard look in Artemis's eyes. "He's your kill. I wouldn't step in unless--"

"He's our kill," Artemis says, gesturing to the duffle bag at her feet. "But thanks. It's something I need to do personally."

"Suit yourself," Cindy says. 

Rick drives her. He's got the cover story ready to recite, that she's looking at housing for college. It's a silent drive, punctuated only by concerned intakes of breath when they hit a bump. The chemicals are stable before they're mixed, but the worry still sets in.  His car spits back grit from the gravel road as he slows by the field. A plane waits. 

"Thanks," Artemis says. "For helping me."

"How'd you know I would?" Rick asks the question he's been sleeping on like a lumpy mattress for weeks. "Cindy would have agreed in a heartbeat. How'd you know--"

"Because he killed your parents too," Artemis says, resolutely. "Stargirl'd never get that. Midnite either. But you get it. I knew you would."

Rick nods. The memory of the rage he'd felt for the tree they'd hit, then for Grundy, had sat in his heart, such a steady drip of poison he'd gotten used to it. They hadn't been to blame, but Icicle was. The weight had gotten lighter the closer he and Artemis got to a plan, and now it felt hardly like a burden at all. "You'll get him for them, too?"

"For every orphan he's made," Artemis says, and slams the car door behind her.

A Rose By Any Other Name

Would Feel As Frigid

-

Warnings: mentions of violence, other questionable activities, theft, and the American school system

Notes: a little over half of you said to name Reader, so that's what we'll do!

-

Previous

-

Previously, we were introduced to Casey and their fellow delinquents, so here's the rundown:

Jack - jock. Interviewing Blockbuster

Will - Poor guy.. Interviewing Icicle Sr.

Dan - Another jock. Interviewing unknown

Lainey - dealer of some form. Interviewing Devastation

Rachel - got caught carrying drinks to Jack and Dan. Interviewing Shimmer

Olive - hotboxed a school bathroom 🙄 Interviewing Psimon

Adam - yearbook guy. Doesn't like Casey/POV

---

I was handed a checklist of questions to ask Jr. during session one. Things like his name, age, family, hobbies. Y'know, icebreakers.

Bob escorted me to the visitation room I'd be using. He'd called a few more guards over to get everyone else settled, but I was obviously his favorite.

"Nice place you guys have here," I offered, breaking the silence. "I've heard it's the best protected prison in the country."

"Not th' country. The world." Bob scoffed pridefully. "Not even Superman can break down the defenses."

"Really?" Of course I'd heard that one before, but hey, might as well try and get the guards to not hate you, especially with his earlier comments. "How'd that get managed?"

He gave me what was probably a wary side eye, but with his perpetual scowl it seemed more like a glare. Still, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Lead re'nforced titanium. Tensill and brute strength? Unmatched. 'S not the only stuff, but those're the main bits."

Before I could ask more questions (probably for the better) we made it to the interview room. Bob stopped me outside the door, his hand resting on the handle.

"'Member what I said, how 'e's potentially violent?"

I nodded, now wary.

How could I forget?

"Well, 'e's typically better 'ith other kids than when adults are nearby. Now, because'a that, you're goin' in alone."

He must have seen the apprehension on my face, because he smiled. Still mocking, but it was there.

"Here's yer panic button." He handed me a small block, a red button in the middle. "It takes a lil' force ta press, 'n alerts the guard station. There always someone in th' hall here, so you'll get help soon."

He clapped my shoulder, hand moving from the doorknob. "Get to it."

And he left.

Great.

Steeling myself, I entered the room.

Junior was already there, hands cuffed in front of him, feet kicked up onto the table. When I stepped in he grinned, cuffs jangling as he pulled his feet off the only 'true' piece of furniture in the tiny, cold room.

"Hey."

I blinked. "Hey."

He gestured to the chair opposite himself, and I took a seat.

"I heard I'd be getting some company. What'd they call it.. future inmate prevention?"

"I.." I certainly hadn't planned for him to start the conversation, and with his growing smile, I could tell he already knew.

"Oh, come on! I won't bite, I promise! It'd really ruin this whole thing for both of us."

I sighed. "Yeah.. yeah. Sorry. I have a few icebreakers."

He snorted, and I could feel a smile of my own start to form.

"Icebreakers? Is that really appropriate?"

"According to the staff, apparently."

He rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine. Hit me."

"Okay. Number one, what's your name?"

"Cameron Mahkent."

"Okay.." I scribbled it onto my sheet, the chipping graphite being the only sound for a moment. "Okay. Question two - how old are you?"

He hummed quietly. "Seventeen."

"Oh!" I couldn't stop the quiet exclamation. "So you'd be a junior, too."

"Yeah? I'm a December baby."

"So you'd be sixteen at the start of the school year.." I had already put the number down, but if the goal was socialization.. "How long did you go to public school? If at all."

"Off and on until.. sixth grade, I think?" He glanced to my right before focusing back on me. "Then dad pulled me completely for training."

"Oh." I blinked before glancing back to the sheet. "Brings us to question three - what's your family dynamic?"

"Mom.. left. When I was about nine. She was going to take me with her, but dad wouldn't allow it." He shrugged, cuffs clinking again as he shifted in his chair. "He's harsh, but hey, tough love."

I didn't really believe him, but it wasn't my place to ask. Not yet.

Instead, I must have frowned, because he paused.

"He's typically in charge here at Belle Reve. The Capo. He rules the Pen with an iron fist."

"Oh.." My eyes widened. "So does that give you any special privileges compared to the other detainees?"

He laughed this time. Not a scoff or snort, but full-on cackling, like I had told the funniest joke in the world.

"Are you kidding?! I don't get treated any better than anyone else - in fact, if people try to overtake dad as Cappo, they shoot for me first.

I blinked and, almost instinctively, pulled my clipboard up.

"Question four.."

I left about thirty minutes later, scribbling the tail-ends of answers onto my paper. A guard had come through the back to pull Cameron aside, and told me it was time to leave.

When I made it back to the check-in area, most people looked traumatized. Jack started off immediately about Blockbuster - he'd been flanked by two guards the entire time.

Will was even worse. Apparently Cameron's dad - Icicle Senior - had been allowed to have one of his personal guards - Mammoth. There were four guards between them - which is why Bob had been so nice as to leave Cameron and I alone together.

Laine had liked Devastation, and Rachel was okay with Shimmer - didn't like her cultist attitude much, with Will saying Mammoth had been the same.

Olivia had hated Psimon from the get-go, but from what she said, it sounded mutual. I felt more sorry for Psimon than I did for Olive, honestly.

Dan..

"Who did you even pull?"

He flashed me a grin. "Poison Ivy."

"And?"

He held his paper up proudly. "She shared her thoughts."

I glanced over it. "Except for family life."

He shrugged, wincing when Bob grabbed the paper from him. "Oh well."

I handed mine to him as well, and he raised an eyebrow.

"It looks like Casey here is th' only one who got answers for everything - family life, criminal history, childhood. Congrats."

I shrugged, glancing at everyone else.

"Really?"

Olive rolled her eyes. "My guy didn't want to answer anything - just kept asking his own questions."

"And Blockbuster didn't want to talk about ANYTHING before his transformation," Will piped in.

"Devastation didn't actually give me another name for her." Lainey shrugged.

I glanced back in the direction of the visitation hall.

"Huh."

Wait, what's the BTS of 305? How do we know it's going to be a banger? What am I missing lol.

Oh, my sweet summer child.

On November 29 of last year, Hunter Sansone posted this photo of himself and the core four JSA at lunch.

On what I believe to be the same day, Anjelika Washington updated her story with these two images (amongst others). Hunter is wearing the same outfit as above.

On December 1st, Brec posted some photos of her on the terrace behind the Mahkent house.

A few days later, on December 4, Lea Thompson posted numerous photos, including one that’s basically Hunter’s photo but with her also in it, as well as a clapboard that confirmed she was directing 3x05. She also included the following photo. Notice that Brec is wearing the same outfit as above, and Anj is wearing that same outfit as in the selfie with Luke Wilson.

Brec would go on to post a TikTok of herself in that same outfit, along with Hunter, Amy Smart, Jim France, and Kay Galvin on December 7.

Flash forward to when the trailer dropped. As you can see, the date pics/video above match the outfits in the Camney power reveal/kiss.

Additionally, Cameron Gellman is wearing the same outfit in this screenshot as he is in the photo at lunch AND at the Pit Stop earlier, indicating that these events all take place in the same day.

As of right now, we’re not exactly sure what the date/Pit Stop connection is, but presumably Courtney is telling the JSA about Cameron’s powers after the date and they don’t take it very well. Rick might very well be powering up in response to the very idea.

Combine that with the fact that the episode was written by Steve Harper (who wrote Summer School Chapters 5 and 8) and directed by Lea Thompson (who directed Shiv Part 1 and Summer School Chapters 3 and 4), it stands to reason that the episode is gonna slap.

This is something that I’ve intended to do for a lonnng time: I made a masterpost of my fics from AO3!

Since it’s not easy to sort by author by pairings at AO3 (that I’ve found, anyway), I thought this would be a handy way to see my fics by ship. In the mood for some tasty ReverseSnow? There they are! Looking for some Matt Letscher Eobard with Caitlin or Frost? Check under Snowthawne or Frostthawne!

I’ll update it as new fics come in. Also, because I was curious, here’s how the number fics by ships breakdown, current as of December 20, 2021.

1. Eobard Thawne | Harrison Wells/Caitlin Snow (ReverseSnow) - 33 fics

2. Harry Wells/Caitlin Snow (Snowharry) - 22 fics 

3. Eobard Thawne | Harrison Wells/Killer Frost (ReverseFrost) - 13 fics

4. Nash Wells/Killer Frost (FrostNash) - 12 fics

5. HR Wells/Killer Frost - 4 fics Eobard Thawne/Killer Frost (Frostthawne) - 4 fics

6. Eobard Thawne/Caitlin Snow (Snowthawne) - 3 fics

7. HR Wells/Caitlin Snow - 2 fics

8. Eobard Thawne/Nora West-Allen (Eobara)  - 2 fics

9. Caitlin Snow/Jay Garrick | Hunter Zolomon (Snowhunter) | Killer Frost/Jay Garrick (Frosthunter) - 1 fic (2 if you count “The Three Way Trap” with Eobard/Frost/Hunter 😉 )

10. Harry Wells/Earth-2 Killer Frost - 1 fic Pariah/Elseworlds Killer Frost - 1 fic Sherloque Wells/Caitlin Snow  - 1 fic Caitlin Snow/Jordan Mahkent (Stargirl crossover) - 1 fic Eobard Thawne/Reader - 1 fic Savitar/Killer Frost (Savifrost) - 1 fic Gen (non-shippy) - 1 fic

No surprise that the OG ReverseSnow has the most, they’re what I started by writing in 2015 and I still write them 6, almost 7 years later! 😲😉 I figured SnowHarry would be in second place but I wasn’t expecting that FrostNash was very nearly tied with ReverseFrost! I also didn’t realize I’ve written as much HR/Frost as I’ve written Frostthawne. Huh, who knew? 😜😉

Also, I’ve never done a tag list but would you like me to tag you when I post a certain ship (or when I post any Flash fic or other fic at all - I also write for Doctor Who and Teen Wolf on occasion)? If so, let me know and I’ll do my best to tag you for whatever you’re interested in reading of mine! ♥♥♥

Happy au—or just a happy moment not seen in the show—where Cameron Mahkent does, however briefly, get to live the romcom life he deserves.

The first few attempts end in utter failure. Cameron crumples an entire sketchbook worth of pages of drafts until he's got something perfect, but that's only half the battle. He spends weeks practicing. All through December and January, he takes advantage of the ice on the ground and the cold in the air to help him stabilize his work. He knows he's running low on time, but he can't just ask Courtney. After everything she's done for him, she deserves better than a text, or casual conversation. So he stays up late and gets up early, trying again, and again, and again.

February first is cold and clean, and his hands shake as the ice coats his palms. He twists the ice, thin as paper, forming curves and points, and a long stem, then another, until he has an even dozen.

They won't last long, but they don't have to. He stands on Courtney's covered porch and knocks.

Inside, he sees her little brother jump to peer out the window at the top of the door. His voice is audible. "Hey Coooourt, you're boyfriend's here."

Cameron looks at his feet. He's not Courtney's boyfriend, exactly. He thinks he'd like to be.

She opens the door, beaming at him. "Cameron?" She asks. "What are you--"

"Do you want to go to the Valentine's Day Dance with me?" he asks, holding out the roses he's crafted. She takes them gingerly, like she can't bear the risk of breaking them.

"I'd love to," she says. "Did you make these? They're beautiful."

"You once said my powers could be… used for art," he says. "I'm glad you like them."

"I love them. Do you want to come inside? Pat's making waffles…"

She holds the door wide with one hand as the roses start to drip on the floor in the other.

Tell us more about December !

- She’s a bit out of touch and in her own world sometimes.

- Much like the rest of her family, she is also capable of losing control, but she’s probably the least likely to ever lose control.

- She likes Dawn and watching her work. She’s curious so she’ll ask lots of questions which Dawn appreciates.

- She loves Malik a lot but wishes he wasn’t so obnoxious and full of himself.

- She’s a very sweet girl, though.

- Chooses not to be aligned on the sign of good or evil, she just...vibes. She’s friends with Jaimson and Vivan since they’re young magic users.

What was December like as a baby?

    December was the opposite of her brother, just overall very caught up in her own world and doing her own thing...well, as much as she could do as a baby. She was also very curious of things as well.

    Malik genuinely thought his baby sister didn’t like him because she paid attention to her toys more than him but she just...wanted to hear the cow go moo, you know?

Random Person: Is this man bothering you?

December, with a very protective Malik standing behind her: Yes but he's my older brother so there's not much anyone can do.

[dollyreblogs]

Is December one of the younger ones, like how Levi and Priscilla were?

     Priscilla is the oldest out of all of them but was physically 16 where Levi was 12 years old (in my universe but others may vary). Priscilla was just goofy, you know?

    December and Vivian are actually the same age (13) but Vivian’s older since she was born in October where December was born...in December...

How often do you think Y/N Bleak randomly drops off Malik/December to be babysat by Dilemma/Water Lily.

   Not often, honestly.

   She doesn’t like being away from her kids.
