Parent Trap Avalance Style Snippet

“Wow.” Laurel said as she looked at them side by side “I just never thought that you would both look so much alike.”

“It’s kind of creepy like little clones or something.” Nate said and both girls looked at him with the same angry face. “See that’s even worse seeing that side by side.” Nate adds and Laurel laughs. The girls just look at each other and both roll their eyes.

“So, what’s the plan?” Laurel asks

“We didn’t have a plan.” Angela replied and looked at Abby “Did you tell them we had a plan?”

“No.” Abby says

“What do you mean you don’t have a plan?” Nate says. “You swapped places and you had no plan to tell either parent about it? What were you guys just going to live each other’s lives?”

“No, I told you we were going to talk at school.” Abby said watching as Laurel and Nate just looked at each other in shock.

“So, you switched places and then you were going to talk at school?” Laurel repeats and Abby nods.

“We were going to figure out what to do at school. And swap back eventually.” Angela says.

“You guys are the grown-ups.” Abby says pointing at them “Help us make a plan.”

“Yeah, but we have a problem.” Angela says

“What’s that?” Nate asked

“Alex.” Angela replied

“Oh, crap I didn’t even think about her.” Laurel said and Nate looks at her.

“So, you didn’t think a plan about getting Ava and Sara back together would affect Sara’s current girlfriend?” Nate asked and Laurel shrugged

“She lives in Central City, and honestly I’ve never been a big fan of hers.” Laurel says.

“What?” Abby asks, “You said you liked her.”

“I said that because your mom was standing right there, I couldn’t say I didn’t like her right in front of Sara.”

“Why not?” Angela asked Laurel looked at Angela

“Because that’s mean, well it would have been mean.” Laurel added

“Well, I don’t like Alex and you know I don’t.” Abby said pointing at Laurel

“I know.” Laurel said and started to laugh causing Abby to look at her confused. “You’re sister threw up on her…. Twice.” Laurel couldn’t help but laugh harder as the words came out.

“You what?” Abby said looking at Angela who looked embarrassed.

“I have never been to a carnival, ok?” Angela said shaking her head. “I may have eaten too many corndogs.”

“You went to the carnival without me?” Abby asked looking at Laurel who started to shake her finger at Abby.

“Nope, you don’t get to do that. I thought YOU, were with us.” Laurel said pointing at Angela.

“Trust me I don’t want to go again, and she was definitely mad when it happened. I mean she didn’t even stay she left and went back to Central City that night.” Angela said.

“Okay so what I am hearing is…That Alex doesn’t live here which means we can use that to our advantage.” Nate said as he moved to sit on the bench. “Okay so first we need to swap you back.” Nate said both girls protested.

“No way I want more time with mom.” Abby said looking at Angela

“And I want more time with Mommy.” Angela added as they both looked over at Laurel and Nate.

“Okay so we wait to swap, you’re both sure about that?” Nate asks and both nod.

“Okay so now we have to figure out how to get them in the same room.” Laurel said pacing back and forth.

“Don’t you work with Ava?” Nate asked looking at Laurel

“No, we work in different buildings I’ve seen her from afar but kept my distance.” Laurel said

“Well stop keeping your distance.” Nate said standing up “We need to set a fly trap.” Laurel looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

“I…okay what?” Laurel asked.

“Okay it something that gets the flies attention and then they cant stop flying around it because its all they want and then they are stuck.” Nate said smushing his hands together.

“That’s a horrible analogy. Don’t ever use that again for anything, like ever.” Laurel said and turned to the girls. “Okay if we do this then you have to understand we have to live with the consequences of it. I can’t promise that it’s going it work out. But I will promise that I will stand up for the two of you being in each other lives and both your moms’ lives.” Laurel said and took a deep breath looking over at Nate “No more of this she has one and she has the other crap.” And Nate nods in agreement.

Barry and Laurel meet during college and become super close.

So after Oliver and Sara are lost at sea and the Lances fall apart, Barry convinces Laurel to move to Central City and be his housemate, since it's way too expensive for him to rent by himself and Joe is too paranoid to let Barry move in with just anyone.

He and Laurel get mesh well. Laurel is a lot more outgoing than Barry, and she forces him out of his comfort zone. She's the reason he goes out on his first date with a man; attends his first pride event.

On the flipside, Barry introduces Laurel to Lord of The Rings and true crime documentaries and helps her realise that it's okay to be angry at her sister and Oliver, even if they're dead.

He also introduces her to Iris, and it's like putting the last piece of a puzzle into place. They fit together perfectly.

Having Laurel around makes it easier for Barry. He's on his third date with a test pilot working for Ferris Air and he thinks he actually might be over Iris, but he knows how easy it would be to fall back into old habits if he and Iris spent all their free time by themselves like they usually did. Having a third person means Barry isn't just focused on Iris, the warmth of her smile and the brilliance of her personality.

It's amazing how well Laurel fits into their dynamic. Trying on clothes with Iris while Barry rates their them. Searching out articles about strange phenomena with Barry while Iris does a last minute assignment. They have long, meandering conversations about true crime, Bigfoot, or whether or not ghosts are real without getting sick of each others' company. They're all dedicated to seeking out truth and justice.

It's Iris and Barry who hold Laurel together when Quentin calls her and says Oliver has been found alive. It's the two of them who convince her she owes him nothing, and that there's no reason for her to come back to see him. It's Iris who shouts at Oliver Queen when he shows up one day to speak to her. Who makes sure to leave the two of them to talk, anyway.

She teases Laurel when Oliver keeps showing up, and they both tease Barry about how his chronic lateness means he keeps missing meeting Oliver Queen.

They stop teasing when Barry presents his theory about Oliver and The Hood.

They don't call it crazy - Barry hates that word - but they treat it like a thesis Barry needs to defend, and as he lays down the facts, Laurel muses aloud that she saw something very much like a still-healing bullet wound on Oliver's chest.

Then Iris asks why Laurel was looking at Oliver's bare chest, and the conversation devolves - when Laurel teases Iris about her obvious crush on the so-called Detective Pretty Boy she's pretending she can't stand, Barry doesn't even feel anything except delight at being able to get Iris back for all the shit she gave him for commenting on a criminal's blue eyes while looking over his file.

(Laurel confronts Oliver, who eventually caves and admits the truth. She holds his hand and looks him in the eye, tells him she believes in the good in him. She stays in Central, he goes back to Starling, but somehow the distance between them feels smaller than ever.)

Barry and Laurel meet during college and became super close and this leads to Laurel finding a support system when everything goes down with Oliver and Sara. Leads to her finding people who show her how much better she makes their lives. How much they appreciate her presence.

Eventually, it leads to her being in Central City the night the particle accelerator explodes.

Hi, I was wondering if I could request some Canaryfire as a Single Parents AU? Only if you're interested of course!

(You came at the perfect time! Writer’s block has been kicking my ass. But here is the story! Don’t have much to say as an opening statement, except that I love the oc I have created. She doesn’t even show up in the story, but I love her. Hope you enjoy it! AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38856489/chapters/99049293)

Laurel had gone through the ringer. She found out her boyfriend and sister were dead at the same time she found out they had been sleeping together. She decided it was easier to drink the mixed emotions she had away, but that only lasted for a few weeks. Because lo-and-behold, she was pregnant with her dead ex’s child.

The only bright side to that she saw was Ollie wouldn’t be around to argue about it with her. Only her opinion would matter here. Having a kid would surely make it harder to get through law school. Not to mention her parents (who were already going through enough shit) would probably freak out. So, she did the only thing she thought she could do. She got out of Star.

Transferring to Central was rough, but Laurel loved the city. It was so cheery compared to back home. So full of life. Plus, it had a pretty decent nightclub scene.

Her mom drove her to all of her appointments. Laurel had always wanted a kid, and she’d go through with the pregnancy even if she didn’t have Ollie to help her. Besides, it was easier when she lived in a house with a woman who had two of them before. Still, the pains and cravings and no access to caffeine wasn’t very pleasant.

Cerise Lydia Lance was born in early spring 2008 after a few hours in the hospital. As far as the world knew, the father was unknown, although there were many, many rumors. The Queens were aware that Oliver had gotten her pregnant, but outside of Laurel’s family, that was about it.

---

Mick hadn’t wanted to be a dad ever in his life. He’d rather pretend to be stupid and follow Snart around having a good time. He had gone to the High School Reunion on a whim, had sex with Ali on a whim, forgot to ask if she was on the pill, and now she was visiting him in prison telling him she was pregnant. He couldn’t tell her he was mad. Couldn’t tell her to fuck off. He wasn’t his father. He wouldn’t hurt his ex-girlfriend like that. The mother of his child.

They found a way to make it work.

True, most of his daughter’s visits took place in safehouses (Snart and Lisa loved spending time with his kid), but Mick loved Lita to death. He didn’t know what story Ali spun (she said she could take care of it, and Mick trusted her to do just that), but Lita didn’t start asking about his life of crime until later in life.

He couldn’t show up to school events, though. Couldn’t go trick-or-treating most of the time. Mick was selfish, and if anybody found out he had a daughter and was spending time with her in secret, then he could lose any and all contact with her. Forever.

So, he’d take advantage of the visits. Pick up some gifts for Lita along the way (Snart always tried to one-up him on birthdays). Give her the childhood and father he had always wanted. He’d do his best to take care of her. He loved her; more than he thought he was capable of.

---

Laurel was pissed.

Just like she was after Sara’s death. Apparently, she’s so pissed off she’s been banned from going on patrol for a while!

“We don’t need you doing anything you’ll regret later,” Ollie had said.

“I won’t regret it if it helps me find her!”

“I’m not going to let you violently interrogate criminals.”

“I haven’t-”

“But you could.” He put a hand on her shoulder. “I miss her too.”

Laurel had moved back to Star when she found out her sister had died. She became a vigilante to avenge her death and protect the innocent. Protect her daughter. She had told Ollie he had a kid, got him to spend time with her, helped them develop a relationship.

But then Damien Darhk had the fucking nerve to kidnap Cerise. And she was going to kill his immortal ass if it’s the last thing she does.

But, again, she had been told to take a break from patrol. She was pissed but could understand the reasoning. Which was why Laurel was taking her gear and heading to her mom’s house in Central City. She was taking leave from work in order to make this happen. She was going to drop off her luggage at her mom’s and take her equipment to STAR Labs.

Laurel got out of the car and went into her mom’s house, setting her suitcase in the guestroom, hoping she could get out before-

“Laurel?”

-that.

“Hey, Mom.” She slowly turned around to face her mother, who was standing in the doorway to her room disapprovingly.

“Not even going to say hi?”

Laurel scratched her neck nervously. “I... I’ve gotta get to the lab-”

“You can at least eat some lunch first.”

She internally groaned, but let her mom guide her into the dining room. She tapped her fingers against the tabletop anxiously. Her mom came back into the room, holding a closed paper bag.

“Some grilled cheese for the road.”

Laurel mumbled a ‘thank you’ and took it quickly.

“One more thing.” She looked up to meet her mother’s gaze. Her mom sighed before continuing. “I know you’re scared. And I don’t blame you. But you’ve gotta keep a clear head. I want Cerise home safe just as much as you do. Be careful out there. I love you.”

“Love you too.” Despite the crippling fear, Laurel couldn’t help her smile, even as she was shooed out the door. She got into her car, took a deep breath, and started driving towards STAR Labs.

---

Mick had started taking Lita to STAR Labs as part of their visits. Mainly because she had figured out about him being a Rogue, and also because she was a fan of the Flash (ugh). She also liked spending time with Blondie.

Sara had come into their lives a little after they ‘went straight’ (knowing Snart, there were bound to be some heists here and there), and suddenly, the Boss had a girlfriend. Not that Mick cared all that much. He liked Blondie. She was fun. She was also giving his kid self-defense lessons (Ali had given the go-ahead a few weeks ago).

But today was a relaxing day. One of the nerds was helping Lita with her math homework (the one with glasses and a punchable face) while Mick sat next to her trying to follow along. Just as they were getting done with the worksheet (seriously, why were these things so long?!), a woman stormed into the cortex.

Blondie stood up, meeting her half-way. “You got here fast.”

She huffed, holding a duffel bag of sorts. “Where’s Allen?”

“At work. I’ll go get Cisco.” Sara jogged out of the room, leaving the other woman standing there. She set her bag down on a nearby empty desk and opened it, rummaging through it.

“I believe that’s all we have to do today,” the nerd told Lita before walking off.

Lita took a deep breath and closed her book. “Ima run to the bathroom. Be right back.”

She then walked towards the restroom, leaving Mick alone with the stranger. She had long blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a pantsuit and fidgeting with the bag on the table. It might’ve been the beer he had earlier or pure curiosity (probably a mix of both) that made Mick stand up and sit down next to her. She looked up at him.

“Uh...”

“What’s got ya so riled up?” He tried to make himself look as nonthreatening as possible (even though that was pretty difficult).

She scoffed, looking back at her bag. “You wouldn’t understand.”

Mick didn’t take offense to that. A lot of people thought he was stupid. Instead, he leaned in a little closer, giving her time to lean back or push him away (surprisingly, she didn’t), and gave her a toothy grin. “Try me.”

She looked down at her hands and sighed. “My daughter’s been kidnapped.”

He felt his blood boil. “Who did it?”

The woman tilted her head, looking him in the eyes again. “Damien Darhk. Immortal asshole. And if he lays a finger on her, he’s going to wish he was dead after I’m through with him.”

“Mind if I help?”

She blinked a few times, shocked. “You don’t even know my name.”

“Well why don’t ya tell me it so I can help?”

She laughed after a moment, holding out her hand. “Laurel Lance.”

“Ah, Blondie’s sister.” He shook her hand with a small smile. “Mick Rory.”

“So, do you mean that? You’d help me?”

“If he hurts your kid, I’ll help you do whatever you want to him. Now, you need Sunglasses’ help?”

She nodded, not even pausing at the nickname. “Cisco might be new to his powers, but if there’s a chance for me to get another lead, I’m taking it.”

Mick didn’t want to admit it, but if Lita were kidnapped, he’d probably (and begrudgingly) get the nerd squad’s help. And they’d have to help him, otherwise Central’s gonna be lit on fire. “Mind if I tag along on the rescue mission?”

“You...” Laurel shook her head, eyes wide. “You’d do that for me?”

“Look, I get what it’s like to have a kid. And I know if Lita was kidnapped like your daughter is, I’d do anything I could to find her. So, I’ll help ya as long as ya let me.”

She smiled a little. “Huh. Guess you do understand. Alright, you can help. You sure you can keep up with me, though?”

Mick grinned, hearing the challenge (and was that a little flirting?) in her tone. “Never know unless ya try.”

She laughed. “Roger that partner.”

They quickly said their goodbyes, and as Mick drove Lita home and sped back to STAR Labs, he couldn’t help his intrigue. He meant what he said. He’d help her.

He just didn’t know at the time how important that little girl and her mom would be to him in the future.

As far as Laurel knew, this was the first time Oliver had been back in Starling since then. She hadn’t even known he was back. Did his parents know? Did Tommy? She’d have to ask him when he arrived

For the Arrowverse ask game/hc list could you maybe do Sara lance? /nf

god. i sure can

polyamorous bisexual, trans woman. per my Arrowverse Polycule AU, she is with: Oliver, Felicity, Ava (married), Zari Tomaz (queerplatonic), Kara, Nate, Constantine (friends with benefits), Nyssa, Iris, Kendra, I may be forgetting people again,

she named herself after her childhood pet canary

post-alien/human hybrid cloning, she did some scarification body mods to earn back her old scars to feel more at home in her body

hates when her name gets misspelled. who tf is sarah 🙄

STILL IN CONTACT W SIN, OKAY. i don't care. they're besties and they see each other EVERY TIME Sara goes to the present. fuck you. in the polycule au Sin is a Legend

the reason she gets obsessed w cherries is bc her alien species is utterly deprived of the collagen in vitamin C

remember how she killed Felicity in Doomworld? yeah, technically canon-wise Sara forgot abt that, but the next time she saw Felicity after that, she hugged her so tightly that it spiked Felicity's back pain from her paralysis. Sara's still not sure why

in an Arrowverse multiteam groupchat with the other undeads from the Lazarus Pit like Thea and Roy. Roy's nickname in that chat is Rot, Sara's is Dead Dove and Thea's is Speedy Recovery

would fuck her clone

doesn't really tell others that Thea killed her bc she doesn't want anyone to hold it against her

had Gids synthesize a shitton of SPN posters for her, made Ava watch it, got Mick into it, writes Meanstiel fanfic with Mona

Mick is her best friend, pointblank. She knows him like the back of her hand and is fluent in his grunts. loves boxing with him

She is little Sara Diggle's favorite auntie!!

hates when others take her jewelry and is so so so overprotective of the necklace Laurel gave her

can still climb trees w no problem

canonically she wanted to be a doctor as a kid, so now she knows a lot more abt the medical field than the average person

agnostic towing on atheist, but thinks if religion is real it's definitely a multigod type thing

that's all i can think of rn look at her

Laurel Lance (E1)

Sure thing, anon!

First impression: honestly I would be lying if I say I remember my first impression of Laurel, which sounds bad, but it's because I came to Arrow via way of Flash so my first exposure to her was that barely-thirty-seconds scene in the first Flash and Arrow crossover. I truthfully probably didn't even realize she was supposed to be Dinah Laurel Lance aka Black Canary until her appearance opposite Cisco in a later episode of Flash that season, at which point I was like "oh cool, they're bringing in Black Canary". Then I was really confused to discover when starting Arrow that she'd been there since episode 1 but seemed to have so miniscule a role in the grand scheme of things. Yeah, that really should've been a sign to run far away from this show while I still had the chance...

Impression now: I love her. Truthfully, I both do see her as Black Canary, but I also see her as a sort of separate entity from the comics itself, with her own unique merits struggles than what Dinah typically has. So while I love her because she's Black Canary and I love Black Canary, I also love her because she's Laurel, specifically.

Favorite moment: Ah man, this is hard to choose. Her fight scenes from the early seasons and some in s4, basically any scene with her and Thea or Nyssa, a lot of her deleted scenes with Oliver (gee, I wonder why those were all cut), so on and so forth.

Idea for a story: You don't wanna know how many WIPs I've got waiting in the wings, anon. But as far as a story strictly about just Laurel goes, I'm kind of tempted to do an AU post s1 where Oliver's spiel about how he's just holding Laurel back is actually super true and she just gets things together for the city and makes it much better without him. Like if he's gonna go sulk and not be the support she needs during a seriously hard time then I'd rather watch her be the hero of this story, thanks.

Unpopular opinion: I have no idea what's popular or unpopular regarding opinions on Laurel these days, but to cover the basics -- She was completely right to call SWAT on the Hood/Arrow that one time given he was an armed and dangerous stranger who violated the boundary she had already verbally set, she should not have had to apologize to her sister for being rightfully upset that she slept with her boyfriend (does this require further explanation??), and people hating on her for bringing Sara back to life is hypocritical bs since those same people were upset about Sara being killed off in s3 to begin with so she literally gave them what they wanted by bringing Sara back.

Favorite relationship: Overall favorite has gotta be the Laurel-Thea BroTP. Nothing tops it, not any of her romantic relationships (canon or fanon) or any of her blood family.

Favorite headcanon: idk that she's still alive? Haha, all my thoughts about Laurel have to exist in headcanons where she's not been fridged and where the people in her life treat her better than they did in canon, anon. In my headcanon instead of her constantly deserving better and being let down, she just gets the love and respect she deserved.

Thanks for sending in!

#laurel lance #black canary #arrow #emerson replies #this probably came out way more bitter than intended #hard not to be bitter about how the canon show treated her though #which is why i basically just focus on my various fic-verses instead usually

My Marvel/DC crossover AU No One Asked for

Read the title. Here’s the layout.

This is an AU I’ve been sitting on for about two or three years now, and often revisit to make some changes. While this isn’t something I really shelved, I am unlikely to write any of the stories down.

I still keep a lot of what I did write in my notes. From this AU I wrote down several prompts, some of which I already shared in other posts.

----

1. You'd think combining the Arrowverse and DCEU alone is gonna be a hassle, but when I wrote things down, the actual changes are pretty small.

The main events of the Arrowverse, DCEU, and MCU remain otherwise the same, there are a few small adjustments made here and there. Some suspension of disbelief is required. Birds of Prey was the hardest one to adapt.

Most changes are “Who plays what character ?”

Of course, because this is a fanfic AU, we can just say "The Other Darin" trope is at play. Henry Cavill’s Superman ? Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman ? Same deal as Eric Norton/Mark Ruffalo’s Banner, or Terrence Howard/Don Cheadle’s Rhodes.

With that all said, this AU treats Grant Gustin's Barry Allen is treated as the “canon”. The indefinitely postponed upcoming Flash movie is disregarded entirely. We all know why.

Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor is also treated as his "canon" character, but he initially had the same traits and role as Eisenberg’s Luthor. I like to think Eisenberg!Luthor was fronting as “the eccentric young mogul” while Cryer’s represents Luthor going masks off.

Some fan casting is bigger issues. Mostly "casting" Diana Laurel Lance, between Katie Cassidy or Jurnee Smollett, for far reasons too complicated to discuss here.

And finally, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is treated as canon.

2. “But where was X superhero during Y's events ?”

A lot of these events would have coincided with each other.

In this AU, Iron Man/2, The Incredible Hulk and Thor would have taken place between/around the first two seasons of Arrow. The present day events of Man of Steel would have coincided with The Avengers. Batman V. Superman and Suicide Squad would take place around the time of The Dark World and The Winter Soldier.

Age of Ultron would coincide with Zack Snyder's Justice League - also taking place between seasons one and two of The Flash, and before Supergirl's first season.

Up to speed, Barry ?

So, here’s some of the prompts I came up with for the AU.

1. Unlike Supergirl, Superman wasn't an active superhero when Kara came to Earth, but it was around the time Clark was wandering the world. During this time, Clark reached out to the Danvers family to help him understand his powers, much like the Arrowverse.

As it so happens, Carol Danvers turns out to be Jeremiah's sister, which is how they help Clark understand his powers. Clark would build a bridge of trust with the Danvers' and brought Kara to them, as he wasn't in the right headspace to look after a child. As a result ? Kara grew up with Carol Danvers as an “Awesome Aunt”.

We’d also have a Superman prequel, also serving as a Captain Marvel crossover. For such as a story, I’d picture Ronan as the de-facto Big Bad, showing him falling out of favor with the Kree, before joining Thanos.

2. I wrote a post based on this AU, but I had this one idea of various WLW prompts for Diana/Wonder Woman. You can read the long version here.

It focused on what Wonder Woman was up to over the decades, especially those she romanced. The most prominent being Wondercarter, Wonderwidow and Superwondercorp.

In this version of Captain America: The First Avenger ? Wonder Woman was considered a battlefield urban legend, and a partial inspiration for the super soldier project. After the events of Agent Carter, Diana would become acquainted with Howard and Maria Stark, and ends up staying with Peggy and Angie as a temporary house guest on the Stark Estates.

How long Diana was involved with them isn't elaborated, but I see Tony having memories of an “Aunt Diana” babying him from when he was a little kid. Cuz we all know she would.

I don't see Tony reuniting Diana until well after he becomes Iron Man. Probably after Civil War or Infinity War. At the very least, Diana ends up another one of Morgan Stark's honorary aunts. Diana would totally be one of those aunts who’d tell Tony’s people embarrassing stories of him from when he was tot.

Another idea I had involved Sarah Rogers being Steve Trevor's sister, and her naming her son after her late brother. But I was pretty iffy about that. It came off as too nepotistic, and I felt Diana should have minimal, if any ties to Steve Rogers. Wonder Woman being the inspiration for the super soldier project should be enough, right ?

3. This one's gonna get me fucking lynched...

So, it's come to my attention that The Batman 2022 was considered as a DCEU prequel early in development. At the risk of being mauled by both Battinson and Batfleck stans, I'm applying that here.

In this AU, an altered version of The Batman occurred, the main difference being it was set in the late 90′s to early 2000′s. Technology adjusted accordingly, and the Riddler’s platform is old web forums, such as IRC chat (or if set around 2003, MySpace).

Anyways, Battison would have represented Bruce Wayne in his early career as Batman when he first became a symbol of hope, while Batfleck represents his “Broken/Fallen Hero” stage. After all, you can't have a “Fall From Grace” period if you never had anything to fall from...

*prepares myself for the pitches and torchforks*

4. As I said above, the “present day” events of Man of Steel would have taken place alongside The Avengers.

Zod's attack on Metropolis occurs at the same time as the Battle in New York. Neither Zod, nor Thanos and Loki were aware of each other beforehand; it was just dumb luck their invasions occurred at the same time! Still, people initially thought Zod, Loki and the Chitauri represented the same threat.

Any attempts by S.H.I.E.L.D or the Avengers to look into Superman yields the same results as this scene.

As with the DCEU, Superman was a controversial figure at first, with the Avengers having mixed thoughts about him. Unlike Batman, they didn't act on their suspicions, beyond a few cautious encounters.

Iron Man 3 would have taken place between Man of Steel and Batman V Superman. Superman tried to to look into “The Mandarin”, and teamed up with Steve and S.H.I.E.L.D to do so, but they kept running into dead ends. They were unaware of Aldrich Killian’s conspiracy until after the fact.

5. This is also something I covered in my Wonder Woman WLW prompts.

This AU's Infinity War takes place alongside Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths. It's retroactively implied that recreating the universe is what led to this world merger.

Certain members of the Justice League - Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, and Cyborg - anyone not with the Paragons, join the fight against Thanos, though don't do enough to affect the outcome.

Out of them, Wonder Woman is the only survivor of The Snap and she helps the surviving Avengers - especially Natasha - and what's left of S.H.I.E.L.D hold down the fort for five years.

WonderWidow ensues.

The Paragons survive the Snap because of their multiversal adventure; when they return to the recreated Earth, five years have passed. Agents of Shield is also canon to this AU, and its characters survive the Snap due to the time travel in season seven, returning to a Post-Blip world.

The final fight with the Anti Monitor would have occurred at the same time as the one with Thanos. As with Infinity War, any members of the Justice League not fighting the Anti Monitor, join the fight against Thanos, albeit not affecting things in a significant way. The events of a Post Endgame/Crisis world remain unchanged, with minor exceptions.

But also Supercorp is canon here because I said so.

While I’m at it, let’s talk the Superwondercorp arc I wrote.

Diana settles in Star City for a short “vacation” after keeping the world together for five years. There, Diana starts a love affair with Kara and Lena. Diana has an arc about opening her heart again, so soon after losing Natasha; whenever she loses a lover, it usually takes years or decades for her to open up again. When she develops feelings for Kara and Lena so quickly, she feels like she’s “betraying” Natasha.

Diana would later get involved when Gorr the God Butcher steps into the picture, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

6. Birds of Prey was the hardest to include in this AU due to how radical difference between takes on the characters in the DCEU and Arrowverse.

Here's what I'm working with.

With Helena Bertenili, I lean to her DCEU counterpart as being her “canon” character. Since I place Birds of Prey in a Post-Crisis/Endgame era, we could handwave it as being her history changing when the world's restored.

With the Black Mask, I had an (admittedly contrived) solution. This AU would have two Roman Sionis' - Sr. (Peter Outerbridge) and Jr. (Ewan McGregor).

McGregor's Sionis is written to be a decade or so younger than he is in Birds of Prey. Junior was far from Roman Sr's favorite child, alluding to his daddy issues Harley mentions. Following Roman Senior's downfall, Junior becomes obsessed with upstaging his father as the Black Mask, leading him to be the monstrous crime boss he was in Birds of Prey.

Then you got Dinah Laurel Lance, and her fan casting. I'm still flip flopping between Katie Cassidy and Jurnee Smollett, for reasons too complicated and distracting to go over here.

The solution I'm leaning to is having Smollett's Dinah being a multiverse displaced individual, and she's adjusting to this new world when her Earth was destroyed by the Anti Monitor.

7. Stark Industries and Wayne Enterprises had history. Stark Industries bought stakes in Wayne in the late 90's and early 2000's, when Bruce wasn't as active with the company, but that partnership slowly dissolved when Obediah Stane was in the picture.

When Tony went public as Iron Man, along Stane’s crimes being exposed, Bruce Wayne cut further ties with Stark. Such a relationship would bring unwanted attention to the technology Wayne Tech is developing, putting too many identities at risk. Afterwards the only ties they had was that many Wayne employees were former Stark employees.

This becomes a problem when Quinten Beck enters the picture.

Beck reaches out to a few disgruntled ex-Stark employees, many of which are working for Wayne. As part of the Mysterio conspiracy, they embezzle a billions from Wayne Industries, and steal its technology. As a distraction, they stage a heist on Wayne Tech, and frame the Joker for the deed.

Bruce isn't made aware of this until Mysterio goes public, quickly recognizing Beck as an former Stark employee he turned away due to him being a “flight risk”.

Come Far From Home/No Way Home, Batman is going into detective mode uncovering and dismantling the Mysterio conspiracy. This is part of what exonerates Peter, along with Matt Murdock’s own “investigations”.

During Peter’s case, Batman tries to reach out to him; but Peter knew Batman's reputation (which has become more sketchy following BVS), and became very defensive in their encounter, despite Batman avoiding his past mistakes.

Even so, Bruce had to attend a number of legal proceedings, regarding the Wayne employees, and he'd have to go underground as the investigation got too close to exposing the identities of his associates.

As a joke, we'd have a scene where Bruce (Affleck) and Happy (Favreau) are both at a meeting with Matt (Cox) and Foggy (Henson). It really doesn't amount to anything but a throwback to 2003's Daredevil; “Hey, look! It's the old Matt and Foggy interacting with the new ones! Ain't that a hoot ?!”

While much of the Mysterio conspiracy was exposed by the trial and investigations, the only member to escape was William Ginter Riva. The last we see Riva, he's bound, gagged and being dragged through a warehouse by a couple of thugs towards the Joker, whose not amuse that Batsy hospitalized over something he didn’t do.

The Joker then pulls out a crowbar and prepares to show Riva how he previously Batman off the deep end...

8. As for this AU’s No Way Home. This one was a lot of fun.

Peter has a little more public support here than he did in NWH, with several members of The Avengers and Justice League publicly vouching for him. Especially after Murdock and Wayne’s investigations.

Coincidentally, Peter's identity is doxxed the day after Kara Danvers revealed her own identity to the public. When Peter is exonerated, Kara and Catco become Peter's most vocal supporters, countering Daily Bugle. Kara - as Supergirl - even interviews Peter and those close to him after his trial as a show of solidarity.

Jameson tries to interview the elderly Steve Rogers, hoping that an “old and wizened soldier” (who previously fought against Spider-Man) would appeal to his audience...only to hastily cut the interview short when Steve ultimately speaks in Peter's favor.

When Hardy’s Eddie and Venom are pulled into this world, they end up settling into Star City, working for Catco as a reporter. Mainly because, I just wanna see the dynamic Eddie and Venom would have working for and/or with Kara. Especially in a world where not only aliens are public knowledge, but are active members of society.

I wrote another post - “What if No Way Home Had More Visitors ?” - and while this AU had nothing to do with that prompt, I’d probably carry some ideas here; such as Topher Grace's Eddie/Venom being pulled into the MCU, as is Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn, and possibly TASM's Gwen and George Stacey. Another thing changed is the villains (and Toby and Andrew's Peter) were trapped in the MCU longer than a few days. Let's say a month. Long enough for the Green Goblin to become a bigger menace than he already is. Throughout, I see the Goblin going about facing Sam, Bucky, The Defenders, what's left of Team Arrow, the Bat Family. He’s even prepping his weapons with kryptonite incase Kara or the Kents wanna throw hands.

Peter trying to cure and fix the villains also takes place over a longer period. If L-Corp had a branch on the East Coast, I can see Lena starting a partnership with Stark Industries following Tony's death.

When word reaches Kara (one of Peter's most vocal public supporters) and Lena, they let Peter set up shop in their labs. Eddie and Venom would actually be part of the story, working for/with Kara. The fact that Lena is a practicing witch could be used to play her up against Steven.

I don't see the Avengers or Justice League helping with the Statue of Liberty fight, if only because (much like Peacemaker) by the time they arrive, Peter’s already beating down the Goblin. Hardy's Eddie/Venom, may have helped...preferably if Grace's Eddie/Venom was part of the Goblin’s squad.

9. Now you may be wondering how this AU affect the multiverse ? I had a few ideas.

I had this one joke in mind were Toby and Andrew's Peter(s) remark Batman and Superman existing in their worlds too; it being implied that either Burton's Batman would be in the Raimiverse, or The Dark Knight Trilogy being in the Webbverse, etc.

Part of this joke is Toby's Peter doing some investigating in the MCU, and comes across Nelson and Murdock Law Office. It'd be implied that Daredevil 2003 is part of the Raimiverse. Seeing them at their offices, he briefly mistakes Happy (Favreau) and Bruce Wayne (Affleck) for Foggy and Matt, before being corrected. In another joke, Toby’s Peter would see a mugshot of Adrian Toomes, once momentarily mistaking it for his worlds Bruce Wayne before correcting himself.

10. My latest prompt for this AU involves Wonder Woman in Thor: Love and Thunder. And before you ask, I wouldn’t Diana and Thor aren’t rebounding off eachother here. Any relationship they’d have wouldn’t go past platonic.

Considered Diana having some involvement with The Eternals, but I couldn’t think of a way to write her in. With Love And Thunder at least, Diana has something to do, even if she doesn’t drastically change the story.

After spending some time in Star City, Diana goes on tourist travels, paying New Asgard a visit. It just so happens to be when Gorr abducts the Asgardian children. As Wonder Woman, she joins the fight with the Shadow Demons, before joining Valkyrie, Thor, Jane and Korg on the rescue mission.

Besides rescuing the children, two things catch Diana’s attention. 1. The existence of the Necrosword, especially since as far as she knew, she was the “God-Killing Weapon”. And 2. The fact that Omnipotence City exists and her father, Zeus, is alive.

Zeus has a slightly bigger purpose, and the “don’t meet your hero” thing strikes harder for Diana. It goes without saying that the heroic stories of Zeus that Diana (and Thor) grew up had a few embellishments. But this Zeus is a little more nuanced than being a “Fake Ultimate Hero”.

The heroic Zeus stories were broadly true, it’s just this Zeus is a foil to Thor and his arc. Zeus is what Thor could have become if he didn’t humble himself. And after driving off Darkseid, as well as Ares' fall from grace, Zeus is also what Thor would have become if he kept up his maladaptive coping habits post Infinity War.

Another change is that Thor and co wouldn’t leave thinking Zeus was dead; before they escape, Diana tells an injured Zeus off. Zeus tries to appeal to Diana as her father (and offers her her picks of men and women in the gods orgy). Diana rebuffs Zeus, declaring “I am going with them. I am gonna be what the Amazons were made to be. What you made me to be.”

Diana leaves Zeus in his humiliation....only to become another target of his revenge.

Beyond that, I see Diana being “heart” of the team. With her history of love and loss, she would understand what Thor, Jane, Valkyrie are going through and have gone through. She even tries to appeal to Gorr when she learns how his god failed him. Even so, I don’t think it would affect the outcome that much.

Beyond the Zeus plot, Diana would ultimately be another voice to say what they need to hear, and the ear to listen to their problems. I did consider a Diana x Valkyrie subplot, but even that doesn’t drastically affect anything.

----

As of this post, the AU is currently on hold.

I’m still mulling over new ideas, but besides Black Adam I have nothing new from DC to work with, or to include in Wakanda Forever. Especially between seasons of The Flash and Superman & Lois. And especially with James Gunn apparently rebooting the DCEU.

So pending new releases, that’s all for now.
