Insane

Barry Allen x Male Reader

A/N: Okay, so this fic takes place during these special crossover events during the Flash’s eighth season. The reader is Clark and Kara’s cousin, but isn’t Kryptonian. He does have very similar powers to them. Also, can anyone tell me of any heroes who leave colored streaks when they fly? Also, I’m not very good with superhero names lol.

“Yes, Lois, I'm eating enough,” Y/N said, as he juggled with the groceries and takeout in his hands. He pushed through the door of his apartment phone on his ear and elbow as he put his stuff on the kitchen table. “I have a bag full of burgers and fries.” There was some chatter on the other side of the line; Y/N smiled. “Okay, tell Jonathan and Jordan I'll see them Saturday night.”

Y/N hung up the phone and was about to dig into his food when he felt a rush of air brush past him. Y/N smiled. It was either Kara, Clark, or J'onn. He turned around to see that it wasn't any of them, but Barry Allen, aka The Flash.

“Barry! Hey, man, how are you doing?” Y/N walked up and hugged the taller man, but could feel Barry tense against him as he hugged him back. Y/N pulled back and frowned. “Barry, what’s wrong?” Barry looked in bad shape. He was pale, sweating, and had a nervous look in his eyes. “I'm in trouble, Y/N. Big trouble.”

“What's wrong?” Barry?” Barry sighed as he told Y/N everything: About Despero, his blackouts, losing his base, attacking his team, attacking the people of Central City. “How did I not know this was happening?” Y/N wondered.

“You haven't seen the news?” Barry asked. “That's all anyone is talking about.”

Y/N shook his head. “I’ve been really busy with work, so I guess I haven't been paying attention.”

“Well, Alex thinks–”

“Alex! I'm gonna kill her for not telling me,” Y/N says, as he dials Alex’s number and chews her out for not telling him something this important. Once he’s done ranting, he hangs up and shows Barry his phone. “Alex gave me all the data that they have on aliens and there’s not a lot of information on Despero. Other than that, he’s Kalanorian, with the Flame of Py’tar as his energy source.”

“And he’s strong, Y/N. As strong and durable as Kryptonians,” Barry says. Y/N smiled. “Well, it's a good thing I'm not Kryptonian.” Y/N wasn't Kryptonian like his cousins, but wasn't a metahuman either. He was in the middle.

“Look at me being a bad host. Sit down and help yourself to any in the fridge. I have some burgers and fries if you're hungry. Just give me one minute to change.” Y/N went behind his changing wall to put on his costume. Barry unwrapped one of the Big Belly Burgers and was about to eat it when he saw Y/N remove his shirt. Barry stared at Y/N’s muscle-toned body and when he started to remove his pants, he quickly looked away. He shouldn't be looking at another man like that, but he was cute. Y/N came out a minute later with his suit on. “Okay, we'll be ready for Despero when he shows up.”

“Oh, really?” a voice said. Y/N and Barry turned to see a man with red hair and blue eyes wearing a weird suit. “Despero, I presume?” Y/N asked. Despero looked at Y/N. “You’re the one they call Triquetra, right?”

“That’s right. And if you know who I am, then you know what I’m capable of,” Y/N said.

“You can not stop what’s already written. The Flash will destroy the world in the future unless I stop him first,” Despero says. Y/N raises his fists and stands in a defensive pose. “You want him? Come and get him.” Despero sighs. “Very well then.” Despero taps his belt and changes shape and mass as he grows to his full alien height. His skin is now pink, and he has a frill on his head like a fish, and pointed ears. He’s tall enough to reach the roof of Y/N’s apartment. He looks at Y/N and charges at him. “Oh, crap!” Y/N thinks as Despero tackles him and they go through the wall of Y/N’s apartment and fall towards the street below.

Barry speeds out of Y/N’s apartment and down to the streets as he moves innocent people out of the way of the falling debris. He turns to see Y/N and Despero exchanging blows. “I hope you have good insurance in the future because you’re totally paying for the damages,” Y/N says, as he punches Despero in the face. Barry was right. Punching Despero was like punching Clark and Kara at the same time. “It is useless to fight me. His fate is sealed,” Despero says, catching Y/N’s fist with his hand, punching him in the stomach and then sending him into a nearby building.

Despero turns to Barry. “Come with me now, Flash, and nobody else will have to suffer.”

“Hold it clown face! We weren’t done dancing,” Y/N says, flying out of the building he was thrown in, and firing heat vision at Despero, but to his amazement it went right through him. “What in the world?”

“Triquetra! He’s over there!” Flash says.

Y/N looks to where Barry is pointing and sees he missed Despero, as the Kalanorian throws a cab at him. Y/N uses his heat vision to split the cab in half. This is bad. If they continue to fight like this, then some innocent people will get hurt. He has to lead Despero away from Metropolis. Y/N takes in a breath before releasing a blast of frigid air. It covers Despero as he tries to break through it, his body starting to freeze. It won’t stop him, but it will stall him. Y/N flies towards Barry, grabs him and flies as fast as he can away from Metropolis, a triad of colors trail behind him. Despero breaks free of his icy prison and glances around. The two heroes have escaped. The alien roars in frustration as he teleports back to Central City, hoping the Flash’s team can help him.

“We should be safe here for the time being,” Y/N said. He had flown them to the Hall of Justice in Central City in hopes Despero wouldn’t find them. “So what’s the plan, Flash?” Y/N asked. “I know Clark, Kara, and J'onn are off world, but I was thinking we could call Jefferson Pierce in Freeland, or call Sara, or Kate–”

“No, Y/N. We can’t call them,” Barry says. Y/N frowned. “Why not? They’re a part of the Crisis team and this qualifies as a Crisis.”

“Sara’s dead. Kate’s retired, and by the time Jefferson gets here, it might be too late,” Barry says.

“So, what do you want to do?”

Barry licked his lips. “I have a plan that could solve everything.”

“Really? what is it?” Y/N asks, curiously.

Barry looks Y/N straight in the eyes, as the words that come out of his mouth have Y/N shocked with disbelief. “You have to kill me, Y/N.”

Diverse DC p.1~Speedsters

1. XS/Jenni Ognats(Black/white biracial)

Jenni is the daughter of Barry Allens daughter Dawn Allen and Jeven Ognats. She wasn’t born with any abilities , however after seeing her father in danger, her connection to the speedforce was Unlocked.

2. The Flash/Danica Williams(black)

Danica Williams is the flash of the Batman Beyond universe. Whos father was a STAR labs scientist who studied Metahuman technology. Danica grew up with dreams of becoming a trackstar, but due to having many medical conditions including asthma, she lost hope. It was also thought that Danica had mental illness due to her claiming to see and hear figures that nobody else could. Though it turns out that she was actually communicating with speedsters from multiple different realities through an initially unknown connection to the speedforce. After she was urged to save a man from being hit by a train, it was revealed that she had superspeed, and eventually mastered the ability to run on air molecules. She was also the love interest for Billy Batson/Captain Marvel

3. Kid Flash lll/Wallace West(black/white biracial)

Wallace West ll is the niece of Iris west and the son of Daniel West, the second reverse Flash. He was initially portrayed as a delinquent and a troublemaker, however after being adopted by his aunt Iris, he began to ease out of his delinquent behavior as he began to look up to the Flash(not knowing it was Barry Allen). After a future version of himself went to the past and gave Wallace powers, he gained a hard to control and unpredictable connection to the speed force. He used his new powers to become the Flash’s new crimefighting partner. After being caught in Central City’s speedforce storm, his powers became more stable.

3. The Flash/Avery Ho(Chinese American)

Avery, like many other Central City citizens was caught in the Speed Force storm, giving her a connection to the speedforce. Her new abilities were unstable, and Avery’s cells involuntary constantly vibrated themselves, with her being unable to stop them. She was visited by Barry and another speedster named Meena Dhawan(whos up next) who helped teach her how to use and control her powers. After a while, Avery was recruited into the Justice league of China. Shes also Wallce’s best friend.

4. Fasttrack/Meena Dhawan(southern asian descent)

Dr. Meena Dhawan was a scientist at STAR labs who was caught in the speed force storm, giving her all the usual speedster powers+the ability to sense or Track others with a speed force connection (hence the name Fasttrack). She dedicated herself to training the next generation of speedsters who were also caught in the speed force storm. She was a villain at one point, but thats not important.

5. Irey and Jai West(biracial, white and Korean)

Jai and Iris “Irey” West ll are the twin children of Wally West the first, and Linda Park. They both have their fathers connection to the speed force, however, while Irey has the usual superspeed, Jai’s powers are…. Weird. He can use speedforce energy to accelerate his muscle growth and give himself super strength, but has also been shown to use the speed force to shapeshift when in distress.

6.Bolt/Alinta(no last name yet),(biracial,black/white, Australian)

Bolt is a new speedster who was first introduced during the future state event. Nothing is currently known about her origin, but she has been shown to be a member of the Teen Titans and the Suicide Squad. Also,shes a disabled speedster. However, not the first(fun fact: Bart Allen/Impulse has a prosthetic kneecap). Also, im 90% sure shes black. I saw one tumblr user say she was of Australian aboriginal origin, and if I can find any confirmation I’ll change this immediately.

Edit: I saw her origin story in the comics, her parents are shown to be a black woman and a white man. So, shes biracial.

Edit: We now know more about Bolt! She was a little kid when she found her speed, and the reason she can only run in short&quick sprints or bolts, as opposed to long distance runs like others speedsters, is because she found an incomplete speedforce equation. Her parents used her for their family business(which unbeknownst to her, was traficking illegal goods), until she lost her legs an was given new ones by Amanda Waller, who is now desperate to get her on the suicide squad because she wants a speedster now lol.

7. Kid Quick/Flash/Jess Chambers (black)

Not to be confused with Jesse Chambers, Jess is another new speedster, who was also introduced during Future State. They are Nonbinary and use They/them pronouns, and come from the genderbent Earth-11, where they are the nibling (gender neutral word for nephew/niece for those who dont know)of Earth-11’s Flash(who happens to be Jesse Chambers). They are also seemingly romantically involved with Aquamans daughter Andy.

8. Godspeed/August Corazón Heart(Latino)

August Heart was Barry Allen’s partner, whos brother was murdered around the time period shortly before Barry Allen was struck by lightning and became the Flash. Hes brothers murder case was dropped, and he was distraught. After gaining superspeed by the Speedforce storm, he designed his own suit and became a ruthless vigilante, going on criminal. Barry eventually learned that August was Godspeed, a hint was that one of August’s victims was his brothers killer. Eventually, August was killed by Eobard Thwane aka Reverse Flash.

Hi, I was wondering if you have any reading list or tips regarding to Barry Allen and Bart Allen? Thank you!

Hi! I am gonna be honest, I have always been disappointed in DC for giving so little to Bart compared to Barry or Wally. It just annoys me so much, yes, I am petty, when I see Barry and Wally fans are fighting about who is the better Flash or who should be the main Flash and I am like, "when will Bart's time come?!" And I am not happy with DC comics for the past 3 years so I don't read a lot of comics, I am out of the loop recently I guess but assuming you mean where to start...

Hmm, I don't have a reading list but if you ask my opinion (and experiences) a lot of people find it easier to start with N52/Flashpoint (but if you read Dastardly Death of the Rogues without knowing anything about Flash history I guess it'll very confusing) because, well, it's a reboot after all. I know a lot of people hate N52 but a big part of N52 Flash comics are just really soft and sweet and nice thanks to Buccellato and Manapul. Nice art style, lovely romance between Patty & Barry, love the romance between Piper and David, characterization is ok, David and Patty and James actually have personalities for once lol etc. I think it's a good way to start because it's not... how do you say, demanding. It doesn't require any prior knowledge, it doesn't burn your brain by pulling a bunch of weird terms and powers and character backstories that you don't know anything about. So it's almost relaxing to read (except the Future Flash bullshit plEASE - plus no one likes to look at Brett Booth's art, my sleep paralysis demon has his Flash's leg muscles). Rebirth, on the other hand, has lots of pros and cons. There are some good moments, I loved August but I mostly dislike Joshua's characterization, not only of Barry but also of the Rogues. I always felt like Joshua didn't know or care about Flash before and he was just trying to do his wannabe Batman angst-fest with constantly using Barry to write stories that give very childish messages like "yooo our heroes can make mistakes too!11!!! they aren't always right!1!! wow I am the first one to think of that great idea!1!1 I will use this same plotline and message like 10 times!11!!" a lot of decisions made by characters, their motives, their bitching etc don't make sense and doesn't feel realistic at all and he completely misses that "Flash magic" which made most of us Flash fans in the first place. I don't know, it just doesn't feel like Flash comics. Also, I really dislike how Speed Force basically became The Force from SW or some weird shit like that. And Joshua just made it worse imo.

While I am a huge fan of Silver Age comics and actually like them more than modern ones, I think you have to start with the new ones like N52, Rebirth (I hate Joshua's Barry but it's just my opinion) because it's easier to get familiar with due to the popularity of superhero movies in mass media. So they will feel more "natural" compared to bizarre SA comics at first. BUT if you know the basics, you must read Flash & Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold imo. LOVE LOVE LOVE THAt one. Always love seeing Barry interact with his buddies.

For Bart, I think you can read Impulse comics or Flash vol.2 or The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive but... TFMA is... ugh. Don't like that one.

Oh, and I wanted to share my messy opinions but you should definitely ask this question to @villainapologist because she is so well organized compared to me and I am sure she has a reading list ready to share lol plus she's the best Flash Fam fan out there so... you can ask her anything and she'll know the answer!

Sorry for this very messy very unhelpful answer, I have been working non-stop for the past 7 days and my brain stopped working I guess lol

#this is me finding an excuse to bitch about joshua's barry lmao

It finally hitting him that Wally is now this universe’s only flash and he has to live with the responsibility of THAT and being a founding member of this justice league: [Chuckles Nervously] “What the fuck...”

Oh!! Imagine the dread and saddness and loneliness that Wally would feel realizing his family doesn’t exist here, or his friends dont recongize him. Like Barry Allen and Iris West straight up don’t exist, Jay’s experiment kills him so he never becomes the first flash, (Uncle) Hal died in a plane crash...etc etc...it be so crushing and lonely and then after a few months boom, j’onn is asking for help and he suits up and suddenly HES the flash, him, the idiot young man who just a few weeks ago had a near fatal heart condition that seemingly DISAPEARED after he went into a “magical” speed realm. Now he’s the one with the fancy confrence chair! Like, you could have a whole angle with it that he’s getting used to his improved powers but also rusty from being out of it so long, it just be a intresting scenario. He is at the same time a veteran hero and someone who just got their powers yesterday. If he ever finally meets another speedster and it would be Jesse lol (Jesse and Wally (and Bart) sibling dynamic supremacy)

Then boom, crisis on two earths, and yj and jlu meet and JLU league is looking at Barry like it’s that one b99 meme “your not (Wally) the flash you just some common bitch.” (NO SHADE AT BARRY HE IS A GREAT HERO AND FLASH THAT MEME IS JUST THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED IN MY HEAD)

OH MY GOSH LIKE. They all look at Wally and go “oh my god, you’re baby” and they assume he’s like New At This, meanwhile he’s got more experience than most of them because he’s been doing this since he was a kid!! oh my god and you know the first thing Wally did when he got here was look up Barry and Iris and Hal (uncle hal supremacy) and the rest of his family and just. nothing. maybe he sees Hal died in a plane crash and assumes/hopes that it just means that hal’s in space as a gl. he’s too scared to ask john if he knows a hal jordan because that’s his last chance at finding his family again and yet, he won’t ask because like, he doesn’t want to find out the answer is no

#gosh it all just. There’s so much #asks #anonymous

When you think about it Eric made Iris even more important to the Flash mythos

-exploration of the lightning rod concept

-She helped Barry rebirth the Speedforce because a spark remained in her after she briefly received his powers

-When Barry ran she was the first person he thought of as Wells words "Run towards love" floated through his mind

-She's the mother of the Forces lol

-She's gonna birth a new generation of speedsters

Eric took We are the Flash and ran with it 😄

Eric saw “We are the Flash,” and raised us Barry and Iris literally being the Flash. There is no Flash without Iris West-Allen, but more to the point, there is no Barry Allen without Iris West-Allen. I will never get over Barry going from really depressed to absolutely giddy and ecstatic from the moment he felt a spark between his and Iris’s fingers in 7x03. I love the emphasis of Iris as Barry’s lightning rod and really digging into that. I am so grateful that finally Iris received the elevation in the narrative this season that she has always deserved.

I’ve gotta say, I truly appreciate Eric for giving us this.

THROUGH EVERYTHING W.W.

Request: If you still write for Wally (TV show) could I please request some angst-to-fluff involving his powers and how they affect his relationship with the reader?

Warning: angst, fluff, swearing

A/N: Heading to my friend’s house for a week so I probably won’t be quite as active. Hella excited though!!

Also, like, if you like Barry Allen, I kinda just finished Book two of a series about him on Wattpad. If anyone is interested let me know I’ll send ya over in the right direction lol!

Word Count: 1.6k

Wally West was sometimes a handful and a half.

He was stubborn, wanted things his way, and he was always willing to risk more than what he had. You had seen it in him while racing, through university, and even more so when he had gotten his speed. Wally liked to live his life on the edge. You? Well, it was more of a hidden corner where no one could see you.

It was pure coincidence that you had found each other. You ended up together for a project at your university and an instant connection happened. The two of you were different, very different and yet you only got excited at the thrill of his life. The racing, the danger he put himself in, you couldn't get enough of it.

So, when Wally asked you on a date how could you say no? He brought you into his world wind of a life, and even more so when he discovered his father and sister.

You were with him through the death of his mother, his move in with his father, and the life of having The Flash in his life. Wally lived a crazy life, and you were happy to be part of it. He was thankful for being with you through everything. There was no one he would have rather had by his side than you.

You supported him with everything, particularly when he had been ever so disappointed that Jesse had gotten speed and he hadn't. Wally was devastated by the news. He wanted powers so bad and when his best friend got them and he didn't, it ruined him. Wally had lulled around your home for weeks.

You spent day in and day out with him, trying to make sure that at the end of the day that he still had hope for his future. Wally appreciated everything you did for him, promising that one day he would have the strength to return the favour. It didn't matter whether he did or not, Wally was your everything.

He was the person that encouraged you to be better, to find a better path than he did. He wanted you to succeed in every single one of your dreams and was always there to help you when you felt yourself waver. Together, there was nothing that the two of you couldn't accomplish.

When Alchemy came around, promising powers to all those who had them in Flashpoint, Wally had gotten excited. This was his chance to finally get his speed - and he had gotten it. Wally became Kid Flash, the hero he dreamed of being for so long. You were happy for him, at first.

He spent all of his time in the lab. Controlling his speed, learning everything that the Flash knew about it. He was incredible and you were so proud of him for being able to achieve his dreams. How could you be mad at someone that was wanting to learn how to save lives? Truth was, you couldn't.

Wally used his speed at every chance he got, but with Barry busy and unable to train him, he took more risks than you liked to see. At first, they were nothing - using his speed to save someone from a car, keeping the people safe and never putting himself in harms way. But when Aliens invaded and he took it upon himself to go out and fight his brainwashed friends? That was your last straw.

The second that Wally had gotten back on his feet, you had finally lost it at him.

Iris, Joe, they saw the rage on your face. These past few weeks you had been holding you tongue, but you couldn't anymore. Wally getting his speed had put a major strain on your relationship. He spent all of his free time at STAR Labs and even missed classes to be there.

The only time that you ever got to see him anymore was when he crawled into your shared bed while you were half asleep. It was as if Wally had completely forgotten about you. He was consumed by his speed and all he ever wanted to do was become as good as Barry. As much as you supported him, you couldn't handle missing him anymore.

What was going to happen when he did get his training? Missions? Fighting meta's? You already missed him so much you weren't sure if you could do this any longer. As much as you hated the though of putting this on him, it was getting to the point that it was either you or being Kid Flash.

You already knew what he was going to pick if you told him.

"That is it, Wally!" You yelled. Wally sat on the edge of the medical bed that he had just previously woken up from. The room was cleared of all your friends, but you were sure at least one of them was lurking around to listen in. Wally watched your shoes pace back and forth, his head hung low.

He never noticed that you had become more tense, or that every time he left racing off you were holding your breath, petrified that he wasn’t going to make it back. He didn’t know just how worried you had become for him.

"I have been with you through everything! Your family, your racing, the crazy meta encounters! Not once did I ever question myself being with you, or your love for me. I never doubted that you would be able to keep yourself safe because I know that you can, but this?! What the hell were you thinking?"

Wally opened his mouth to speak, but closed it the second he met your eyes. There was a fire behind them. Anger coursed through your entire body and only worsened as you remember Oliver carrying in your unconscious boyfriend. The heart break you had when you thought that he was down for good nearly tore you apart.

"You're obsessed with this speed! You think that the second that you got it that you're the exact same as Barry. You're not! You don't have the practice that he has, you can't just run into fights thinking you're invincible! You could have been killed, Wally," your voice cracked during your last sentence.

Wally pushed himself off the bed and brought you into his arms. He held you as you sobbed at the thought of losing him, tears welling up in his own eyes. He didn't think that you would be so upset, he had never seen you like this before. You were right, he was so consumed by his speed that he didn't realize how distant you had been.

Getting his speed put a split in your relationship. He wished that it hadn't taken him this long to realize what had been going on. Guilt consumed him - he was the reason that you were upset. There was no one else to blame here, he had done it all on his own.

"I'm sorry," Wally whispered. He kissed the top of your head and pulled away just enough that he could look into your eyes. Eyes that held so much sadness and fear, all because of him. He never wanted this. You were right, he was obsessed and it took him far too long to realize. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been this caught up with my powers. You're right, I took it too far."

"I worry about you, Wally," you confessed. "Barry goes against a lot of things, hell he's going against aliens right now. I don't want to see you get hurt, not after we know what can happen to those who try to fight. But... I understand that you need to. I know that you can't just sit around anymore."

"I know you don't like it," Wally trailed off. As much as you loved the thrill of his life in the beginning, the more you cared for him, the more you worried. Wally lived for the thrill, you hated it about him after growing to love him. You wanted him safe with you. "I'm meant to be doing this, I'm meant to be Kid Flash."

"I know you are, babe," You assured him. "I'm never going to be the one to stop you from it. I just... seeing you in danger or, or hurt like you were today... it's hard. It's not something that I ever want to get used to. I like it when you're safe - cozy in our bed and worrying about our ridiculous classes."

"They are pretty ridiculous aren't they?" Wally joked. You lightly smacked his chest - however you knew that he hadn't only focused on that small bit of your spiel. Wally half smiled before leaning down to kiss you. "I'm sorry for making you worry, but thank you for understanding. I need you now more than ever."

He was going to do better, be better. Wally needed to learn the balance between his hero life and his civilian life. Nothing was more important than his love for you. When it came down to it, he could live a life without being Kid Flash, he had for a long time. But a life without you? He wasn't sure if he could ever manage that.

You were the one to keep him grounded so many times. Barry had Iris, and Wally had you. He couldn't do this without you, he knew he couldn't. Losing you would break him more than anything else in this world could.

Wally leaned down to kiss you once more. His palm was against your cheek to keep you close to him. Yours over his heart, knowing that it was fully yours. Thought times were tough - more often than not - he would always be the one to catch you when you fell.

"I told you before, Wally West, I'm with you through everything."

Tagged by the amazing @itisa-profoundbond-sarandom to

pick 10 ships without reading the questions.

I have more than 10 ships to list lol 😂 but i will pick some of my all time favorites and i will add some new

1. Aziraphale/ Crowley (Good Omens)

2. Edward Nygma / Oswald Cobblepot ( Gotham)

3. Dean Winchester / Castiel ( Supernatural)

4. Villanelle/ Eve ( Killing Eve)

5. Merlin / Arthur ( BBC Merlin)

6. Will Graham / Hannibal Lecter ( Hannibal tv series)

7. Barry Allen / Iris West ( The Flash)

8. Ray Palmer / Nora Darhk ( Legends of Tomorrow)

9. Ava Sharpe / Sara Lance ( Legends of Tomorrow )

10. Yennefer / Geralt ( The Witcher )

1. Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 6?

I don't remember exactly from which episode but there was a scene where Hannibal got really close to Will and started to smell him 😄 this was really intense

2. Have you ever read a FanFiction about 2?

More than 100 i think 😂 is one of these ships i have read the most fanfics

3. Has a picture of 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr?

Yes and i have a sideblog about Killing Eve @lovemesomevillanelle too many fandoms to have them all in one blog 😄

4. If 7 were to suddenly break-up today, what would your reaction be?

You hit a sensitive spot here , i consider myself new to the Flash fandom its only a few months since i discovered this show but i noticed that there are a lot haters of this ship and some fans even made recist comments about Iris and the actress who plays her, i would be devastated if these two break up because they are perfect for each other and i will forever support their relationship @sweetbarryallen is my flash sideblog

5. Why is 1 so important?

Its been a year since Good Omens series came in our lifes well the book is much older but the series had such a huge success, i still can't get over these two lovable idiots who love each other since the beginning of time this ship gives me hope and warms my heart with all kinds of feelings

6. Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship?

Both? these two amazing women are made for each other and i totally enjoy their serious and funny moments the same amount

7. Out of all of the ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry?

I guess the success of a ship and the reason a duo or a couple is shipped from the fans has to do with the chemistry the actors bring to the screen but there were a lot of cases where fanfiction writers created such a great stories for the readers to make them ship even characters who had limited interaction on the screen and that's the power of imagination, to me all the ships have chemistry

8. Out of all of your ships listed, which ship has the strongest bond?

I would say Ineffable husbands because the know each other since forever , who can beat that ?😂

9. How many times have you read/watched 8’s fandom?

DC's Legends of Tomorrow is a new show for me i managed to watch all Seasons till 4th as i write this in almost a month , before i reached S3 where Nora makes her appearance i had seen/ read some spoilers that she and Ray would end up together, Ray Palmer is my most favourite character from lot and when i found out about this ship i was so happy because he deserves all the love and so does Nora Darhk. Nora is such a great written character her development to the show is one of the best. You can guess my reaction when i also found out that the actors who play these characters are married in real life , this ship is everything and to answer this question i have searched about this ship too many times to count but i wish there were more fan videos of DarhkAtom on the internet

10. Which ship has lasted the longest?

I think Aziraphale and Crowley because of the years since the book published and there were fans of this ship even then, second ship who lasted longest is Destiel because of the years Supernatural has on screen

11. How many times, if ever, has 2 broken up?

If you are a Gotham and nygmobblepot fan then you know all about this ship's love and hate relationship , these two crazy idiots almost kill each other but they can't live without each other

12. If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 or 8?

Both? i think Ray Palmer with his atom suit abilities and Nora with her magic have more chances to make out alive though i wouldn't underestimate Ed's and Os's surviving skills in times of danger, they are both so clever and cunning that i am more concerned about zombies well being than the two of them 😂

13. Did 5 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason?

Merlin and Arthur never become canon but to the fans Merlin and Arthur have feelings for each other , they hide their feelings since they know each other i wish this ship was canon on screen

14. Is 4 still together?

Killing Eve season 3 delivered this year the best finale in my opinion of all seasons , Villanelle and Eve have feelings for each other that's canon now and i hope in S4 they will live and work together as a couple

15. Is 3 canon?

Not for the writers still not canon but the fans with me included we hope before the show ends completely the writers stop this torment and give us what Destiel fans are praying for years , our ship to become canon

16. If all 10 ships were put into a couple’s Hunger Games, which couple would win?

This is hard, i don't know i guess all have their chances to win " may the odds be ever in your favor" lol

17. Has anybody ever tried to sabotage 10’s ship?

Jaskier ? Lol 😂😂😂 truth is that Yennefer is my favourite character from the show the Witcher but Jaskier is also my favourite and i may ship Yennefer with Geralt but since i got to this fandom is hard not to notice the chemistry between Geralt and Jaskier 😄 love both ships the same

18. Which ship would you defend to the death and beyond?

All i can't pick one

19. Do you spend hours a day going through 1’s tumblr page?

YES 😂

20. If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you that you had to pick one of the ten ships to break up forever or else she´d break them all forever, which ship would you sink?

Ahhh this is so hard i can't choose sorry

Tagging some lovely people @penguinsheart , @mishandjen-tellmehow , @vicarious-rebel , @its-all-ineffable , @ramblingsofachristiannerd , @littlehollyleaf , @jawnlockwinchester , @thisplacehaseverything , @littleangel4996 @your-mad-tea-party-blog @itotallygazeatscully, @belle82devart @skatle-skootle-demon-noodle @lesbian-and-useless @quakerlasss, @whitecrawace and everyone who see this post and wants to do this

Jesse just broke up with Wally... With a…

Breakup cube i-

HARRY IS SO AWKWARD

Joe being lost or done with everything going on around him is hilarious, and he also looked so sad when Cecile asked him to sell the house

Haikus are easy

But sometimes they don't make sense

Refrigerator

Harry and Caitlin 🥺

I love how Cisco's powers improved throughout the seasons. Like at the beginning he needed his goggles to vibe and now he just did it without them.

Bro even tho Amunet is evil she really just encouraged Caitlin and let her know that she is amazing for her, not only for killer frost.

I like Iris and Caitlin's friendship

The fact that she decided to go after Caitlin, instead of Barry shows how good of a leader she is

"those white girl dreads came straight from the 90s" BAHSHAHHA I love Cisco

Bro no wth I only saw Dominic for one episode and I already loved him 🥺

UGHHHH He didn't do anything this is not fair it makes me so upset like it was so infuriating to see him go through trial for something he didn't do🥺

And the fact that he got the same cell as his dad 🤌🏼😩

"I'm the fastest mop alive" I love how even when he's in prison he's still finds a way to smile or make Iris smile i-

Zoey Clark was James Jesse's girlfriend and Axel Walker's mother.

Ralph's first superhero name was stretchy man

Lexi La Roche was Caitlin's childhood bully

BAHSHAHHA I love Cisco "Ralph I love you but you sleep on a futon" (a damp futon)

AND IRIS "you nasty" JAHSHAHA

Ok but I love Izzy Bowen's energy, she reminds me of Laurel sm

I love how Harry calls Cecile- DA Cecile Horton

The Flash s4:E14 "Subject 9" minute 12:14 - Cisco yelling "Iris" with the voice Crack is the most hilarious thing I've seen today lmaoo

Just realized that the first time we saw Izzy Bowen she was singing Somethin' Bad which was probably foreshadowing what was going to happen with her character

Bro izzy🥺

"AH SON OF A BREACH" BAHSHAHHA

Iris being a speedster is kinda cool and I like that her lightning is purple :)💜⚡️

Cisco just saved Iris 🥺

Poor Cisco, Harry just destroyed his little airplane thingie he was working on because he was looking for his thinking cap that Joe had because Harry was getting addicted to it

And Joe noticed because Harry had the same symptoms as Francine did 🥺

Bro that scene in ep18 where Marlize and Iris are fighting is pretty badass, especially when Iris basically stabs herself to get rid of Marlize or when Joe makes it into the Cortex with the Samuroid's head in a pole lmaooo😂

Ralph and Killer Frost 🥺

I love Snart from Earth-X

Bro no I love Cisco and Gypsy I cried when they broke up 🥺

Amunet's real name is Leslie Jocoy

So I had a little brain blip this morning, about an interesting idea that could’ve happen if I were writing DC Comics DC weren’t cowards things went a little differently back then...

So we know in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Barry Allen sacrifices himself to destroy the Anti-Monitor’s big weapon. In doing so, he only has enough power to warn Batman of what’s to come before disintegrating and joining the Speed Force.

Well what if, after everything’s calmed down, Batman notices strange readings popping up and decides to investigate. What he finds is a ghost - specifically the ghost of Barry Allen. Instead of ‘dying’ he’s trapped as a ghost in the 21st century. And because of Batman being the last person he saw before he died, he’s the only one who can see him now.

So we get Batman & Flash/Bruce & Barry teaming up, investigating how to bring Barry back to life while keeping it a little hush hush from everybody else (because while it’s not the strangest thing, Barry feels weird about telling people he’s a ghost if they’re working on a way to bring him back to life - because what if they can’t?) Maybe if he He’s also highkey missing Iris and his kids. But spending time with Bruce makes him feel better in a way. Some days he even forgets about the future because he spends time with Bruce - which is weird and he also feels guilty.

He feels hella guilty for a lot of things. For Wally taking over as the Flash. For leaving Iris and his kids. For not being there for Hal when he gets taken over by Parallax.

But it’s this that gives him some saving grace, as when Hal Jordan dies, he becomes the Spectre. And Barry has someone else he can talk to.

Except Bruce isn’t jealous, not at all. Why should he? Being the only one Barry could talk to didn’t make him feel special, and give him all the time he wanted with the speedster. Not like there were always something bubbling under the surface, that Bruce never paid much attention to because Barry was always zipping off somewhere - going to see someone else. He’s trying to help Barry back to life so he can return to Iris and his kids, any other reason would be selfish and unrealistic. Although each passing day in Barry’s presence makes it harder and harder to admit that, even to himself.

Anyway, Barry and Hal get to hang out when they can. When one day Hal asks Barry an important question - why hasn’t he moved on? He’s sure earned the rest. And so Barry hems and haws but admits he feels like there’s still something holdhing him back. So Hal gives him a chance that he never got - to set his affairs in order. He visits Wally, his dad, Jay, Bart (if he’s in the comics at this point) - even Iris, and is allowed a few minutes of being real to say what he needs to say. And it all goes well. Wally is happy to carry on the legacy, Jay is proud of him (as is his dad). He’s happy to get to meet Bart, which gives him the strength to go into the future. Visiting Iris. Now, Iris was mad, but she understands what he did and has found some kind of peace. Knows that’s who Barry is no matter how much she wished it weren’t. Tells him that what they had was special and she’ll always remember their time together fondly. However, if he’s staying for her, he doesn’t have to. Or for their kids. There’s someone new in their lives, who’s taken over the role of father and husband. While they will all still love and think of Barry in those roles, it will always be in the past. For all the speed in the world, he’s too late.

Barry and Hal go back, Barry going on about how if he’s alive he can go back to the moment he left and it’ll be like nothing happened. But Hal is like “Would you jeopardize their future, like that, change it knowing that they’re already happy?” And as much as Barry wants to say yes, he knows he can’t. He should be happy they found a way to move on, and is proud of them.

That was the last one, and Barry thinks he’s done. Except Hal says they have one more place to visit, and he takes Barry to the Batcave where Bruce is working. Bruce can’t see him this time because of Hal, which is perfect because Barry wouldn’t know what to say. Thinks it’s just to tell him the plan is off, except Hal is like ‘we both know the last thing tethering you to this plane, and it’s not the plan’. Basically makes Barry confront his latent feelings for Bruce, and decide whether he lets go and moves on. Or stays and spend possibly forever trying to find a way to become human again, basically signing Bruce’s suicide note because he will never stop looking until he dies. Bruce will never move on unless Barry forces him into it by leaving.

Barry thinks about it. And decides he will stay, positive they can find a way out. Hal smiles, already knowing what Barry was going to say. Says he can make him real like with all the others, if he wants to do anything. Barry holds off, knowing that if he takes it and does something he’ll only be obsessing over that and wants it to happen when there’s no time limit. Barry also asks Hal if he’s cool with it, and while Hal thinks Barry could have better taste in men “God cares little about two consenting adults of any gender and sex what they choose to do”

So after all this, Barry and Bruce continue working on bringing him back to life. And they have help, because more people know about Barry the ghost. And while Bruce should be miffed because it’s more people who want to talk to Barry, Barry keeps giving him special treatment. Their alone time is fonder and more charged. It’s bittersweet, as it’ll only make Bruce miss Barry more when he’s alive and in the future.

Because OF COURSE Barry and Bruce, whenever they have a chance to maybe be intimate and honest, either chicken out or are interrupted.

Anyway, Clark has this idea after being reminded of an adventure with the Legion. You guessed it - L I G H T N I N G S A G A baybay!! So Bruce decides it’s worth the risk (even after Barry nixes it, not wanting anyone to die for him to live). Bruce gathers six other people who also agree with the risk and set out to bring Barry back to life.

Barry is relaxing when he hears storms brewing. Concerned, goes to seek out Bruce. No one is there. But Hal appears, and Barry asks why he’s there. Hal spills the beans on Bruce’s plans. Barry is scared, even more so when Hal is like “we both know who the lightning’s gonna hit”

Barry races to where Bruce is, standing in the room where Barry ‘died’. Waiting. Barry finds him and tries talking Bruce out of it. “It’s gonna hit you!” “Good, that’s what I want!” “But you’ll be dead!” “I’m okay with that - as long as you get to come back to life!” Basically lightning is striking it’s getting closer, and Bruce keeps going on about how Barry always deserved to live, more than him. And that when he’s alive he’ll be able to go back to the people he loves.

That does it. Barry yells at Bruce, saying how coming back to life won’t be worth it if the one person he’s been sticking around for isn’t there. Bruce is stunned. Barry tells him about how through it all the only one keeping Barry still tethered and not in the Speed Force is Bruce, he’s his lightning rod now. And if Bruce lets himself die than Barry will be more lost than he is now. Bruce is stunned, can’t believe it. So Barry leaps forward, grabbing Bruce’s hand just as the lightning strikes and kisses him.

And Bruce can feel it.

Barry’s alive again. He steps back, unsure, but accepts that he’s alive and so is Bruce. Laughter turns to awkward silence, as Barry tries setting Bruce up for an easy let-down.

Except Bruce sweeps him up in a bruising kiss. They’re both happy, smiling. Until someone calls over the line, asking what happened. Bruce tells them, “It’s... it worked. Barry’s alive.”

They’re both alive. Barry is welcomed back, and the next steps are considered. How will it be with him back as the Flash? Navigating a new relationship with Bruce, not as a ghost but as a real person.

It’ll be hard - but worth it.

Again, just some ramblings about a pretty good plot line that DC could’ve had if I were born many years earlier and were a comic book writer lol.

REQUEST: alright! could you do a Eowells x reader au oneshot (in a way + i know there's alot of wells request but I love him, lol). basically, both come from a fighting style video game, BRUTAL one too, it's kinda the Mortal Kombat of central city. Everyone loves playing as the two. Soon, tho, something goes wrong and end in the wrong world, our. Also, their an enemies to lovers kinda deal. Pls- video game anon.

Clash City. It was a universally loved game. A game with a world map of a decrepitated city overrun by an evil militia and demented scientists. The scientists with the help of the militia has kidnapped citizens to experiment on them. A new generation of people emerged. Metas, people with powers. The most important characters, or metas, was (Y/N) (Y/L/N), a woman who can teleport and create force fields and was the leader of the Guardians – an all-female group, and there was Harrison Wells, formerly known as Eobard Thawne who has insane speed and was in charge of the group known as the Lightning Rods.

(Y/N)’s objective was to save any one individual knowing they are capable of redemption. While Harrison’s objective is to kill any criminal knowing there was no hope for them. Two polar stances. Which instantly made them enemies. Constantly fighting against each other and the militia in the overrun city. The game was critically acclaimed for its backstories for the characters as well the game play. For starters, as a player you may choose to play as either of the main characters in order to save the city with unique choices or as a multiply player option you can duel against each other using all the characters. Other characters from (Y/N)’s and Harrison’s teams or play as certain soldiers and scientists intrinsic to the game.

Like stated before, everyone love the game. And Cisco Ramon and Barry Allen were no different. It was the pair’s favorite game. Each of them always chose to play it for some friendly competition. Cisco opted to always play as (Y/N) while Barry picked Harrison. They would have played tonight – or more accurately played longer if not for the storm.

Cisco hollered as he defeated Barry during this round. Barry glumly slumped over on the couch. “Okay, one more round,” Barry said inching to the edge of the couch.

Cisco smiled. “Really? You think you can beat me and my girl, (Y/N).”

“Well, I did last round so yeah I think I can.”

“It was a fluke.”

“We’re 50-50.”

Cisco puckered his lips. “Okay. One more round.” Cisco started up a new round. Each of the men edging closer to the TV. Fingers twitched. Then a clap of thunder made them jump. Their attention drawn to outside. Blackness fell over the pair. Lights and the TV shut off. A crack of lightning caused Cisco to yelp. His gaming station popped. Smoke trickled out of the outlet.

He scrambled over and unplugged the system. But, it was too late. His system was burnt. Destroyed. He sighed running his hands over his face. “Maybe, I can fix it at the lab. I have better equipment there.”

Barry shrugged. “I think you can. You’re the best engineer at Mercury labs. If anyone can fix it, it’s you.”

Cisco grunted. “But my game. God, I hope it’s not broken. I don’t know what I will do.”

“We could use mine? I have the game back at my place.”

“Yeah, but what about for me? Sure, we could play at your apartment but what will I do in my free time?”

“Read? Watch movies?”

“Well, yeah, but I’ll miss it too much.”

“You mean, you’ll miss (Y/N).”

“… yeah.” Cisco whispered.

The next day, the storm continued to pour down. After working on other projects, Cisco pulled out his gaming station from his bag. It was late and very few employees lingered about. Exhaustion tugged at him, but he needed to at least try. He placed the system onto his workbench pushing aside revolutionary technology. Technology that was at the forefront of science. And completely unknown to the public. He searched his bench for a screwdriver, but it was missing. He needed a specific size. Barry must have taken it. He sighed and walked off. However, when he left the impossible happened.

The lightning storm raged on. Lightning struck the building overloading it with high voltage. Electricity leapt out of outlets and flooded prototypes. Experimental technology. All of it mixed with Cisco’s gaming station. Mixed with Clash City. A spark appeared in the center of the room. Slowly expanding. Forming a ring. A void in the middle of the room. Wind whipped. Papers and equipment forced away from the ring. When it reached the size of a door, two people stumbled through falling to the ground. Cisco rushed back into the room confused by the noise. He froze at the doorway. Two people laid on his workshop floor. And he recognized the woman and man pair.

Groaning, the man stood up. He glanced around as his eyebrows knitted together. Whirling around, his gaze landed on Cisco. Red lightning crackled over the man’s skin. He charged forward pinning Cisco against the wall. He asked, “Where am I?”

Cisco couldn’t speak. Completely stunned. Harrison’s hand clamped around his Cisco throat.

“Answer me,” Harrison growled.

Purple energy covered Harrison. Forcing him back. He smacked his hands on the purple dome. Unable to free himself. “I think that’s enough, Thawne.”

Both men’s attention flickered over to you. Your hand raised up encased in the same lilac glow while a glare settled into your eyes.

Harrison matched your glare. “(Y/L/N).”

Cisco couldn’t believe both of you were here in front of him. Alive. Talking. Let alone in your game design outfits. Harrison in a black t-shirt and pants, black boots, along with his iconic leather jacket – it faded from yellow to black with a red lightning bolt embroidered on the back. You in a cream tank top, a pastel flannel tied around your waist, light washed jeans, and boots. A backpack strapped to you with medical supplies inside. A necklace with name tags – names of your team members you’ve lost. And to tie it all together was a simple angel wings inscribed on the inside of your wrist. A symbol of your group.

“Uh, Barry?” Cisco shouted into the hallway.

Harrison crossed his arms. “Care to let me out?”

“Will you behave?” you countered.

“Yes,” he hissed.

“Then no.”

He slammed his hands against the barrier. “Let me out!”

Cisco leaned into the hall. “Barry! Please, I could really use your help!”

Barry walked into the room huffing. Then stopped staring as you and Harrison bickered back and forth. He whispered to Cisco, “Uh, am I really seeing what I think I’m seeing? Or are we both really sleep deprived?”

“No, they’re both here.” Cisco touched his neck. “They are most definitely real.”

“H - How? Why?”

“Dude, I have no idea.”

You rolled your eyes as Harrison continued to call you names. Instead, you put your focus on the two strangers. Walking up, you smiled, “Hi, my name’s (Y/N). Do either of you have any clue as to where I might be? Also as to why I’m in some kind of basement?”

“Um … hi.” Cisco mumbled. “Uh … you’re in Central City in Mercury Labs.”

“Central City? Not, Clash City?”

“Yeah ...”

“Oh.” You frowned then shook your head painting the smile back on your face. “Right, okay. Sorry, but I don’t think I know what you’re names are?”

“Cisco Ramon.”

“Barry Allen.”

Harrison groaned pressed his forehead on the purple dome. “Someone put me out of my misery.”

You whirled around glaring. Clenching your hand, it forced the barrier smaller. All Harrison could do was stand. Hardly able to spin if he desired. You looked back at Cisco and Barry. That same easy, kind, smile settled back onto your lips. “Do either of you have any answers as to why I’m here? And him?”

Both of them shook their head. “No, I’m sorry,” Cisco replied.

You sighed. “That’s okay. Um, how about you just point me into the direction of Clash City and I’ll get out of your hairs.” You side-eyed Harrison. “I suppose I could bring him with me, although I would prefer to leave him here.”

“Ha. Ha. Always so hilarious, (Y/L/N),” Harrison rolled his eyes.

Cisco and Barry shared a look. “Um,” Barry muttered. “Clash City isn’t around here.”

You and Harrison stared at the pair in confusion. “Meaning?” Harrison urged them.

“Meaning it doesn’t exist,” Cisco answered avoiding eye contact.

“What?” You and Harrison said together.

“Um, uh, how about we go to my place where we can explain everything,” Cisco suggested.

After an hour of explanation, you and Harrison sat – on opposite ends – on the couch utterly dumbfounded. Cisco and Barry idled in front of the two of you. Scared as to how either of will react or cope. The video game cover laid on the coffee table. Your face and Harrison’s plastered on the cover. Clothes identical.

“So, I’m a video game character?” you asked. Eyes never left the cover. You felt sick.

“Uh, yeah,” Cisco mumbled.

“Well, that’s just great.” Harrison stood up off the couch. “What the hell am I supposed to do? How do I get back?”

“We.” You glared. “How do we get back?”

“Oh, sorry. Like you would actually care if I could get back or not.”

You stood up. “Actually, you bring up a great point for once. Why would I bring you back and continue to make my life a living hell?”

Harrison flashed in front of you. Eyes red and electricity crackled over his skin. Yet, you didn’t flinch. You teleported behind him throwing a wave of energy and forced Harrison into the wall. He growled. He vibrated phasing through the wall. He appeared back in front of you then pinned you against the wall. Your hands glowed ready to fight.

“Alright! Enough!” You and Harrison looked at Cisco. “No powers. Okay? Just sit down and we’ll try to figure this all out.”

You and Harrison grumbled. He let go of you. You rubbed your wrists and stuck your tongue out when his back was turned. He peered over his shoulder catching your act. “Real mature,” he rolled his eyes.

“I know, thank you,” you replied.

Cisco pulled Barry to the side for a more private conversation. “What do we do?” he asked.

“I have no idea.” Barry glanced over to see you and Harrison silently glaring at each other. “It’s still insane that they’re actually here. It should be impossible.”

“I know, but they’re here so what do we do?”

“I guess try to figure out how to get them back.”

“Great sounds so easy when you just say it.” Cisco huffed. “Just try to send two characters from a video game back to their world. Easy peasy.”

Barry sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. “Yeah.”

“Well, where the hell do they stay in the mean time?”

Barry gave Cisco a knowing look. Cisco dropped his shoulders, “What? No, really?”

Barry offered a small smile. “I’m sorry, but it has to be you. Iris moved into my apartment and she’ll notice if two extra people popped up. And they can’t stay anywhere else with gaining attention let alone because of their appearance but their abilities.”

Cisco groaned. “Fine. Fine. But if they crash my house I’m blaming you.”

For weeks, you and Harrison lived in Cisco’s apartment. You in the spare bedroom while Harrison slept on the couch. It was torturous for all of you. You and Harrison were constantly at each other’s throats. And if you weren’t then Cisco and Harrison were. The only positive was your relationship with Cisco. The two of you got along wonderfully. Mainly the two of you bashed on Harrison when he wasn’t listening.

Today, as usual, Cisco was at work. Trying to find a way for you to get back home, trying to find answers. At most, he theorized that with the prototypes and experimental science in his workshop mixed with the shot of electricity created a rip through time and space. With the gaming system nearby, the rip brought you and Harrison through. From your dimension, your world. You and Harrison dropped into a universe where your reality was packaged into a game for all to play. Although, the game was accurate it missed a few minor details. In summary, there was a tear into the multiverse and with the game close by the rip tried to fix itself and saw you and Harrison as the problem. Sending off into the unknown. Away from your friends, your team, your family.

All Cisco and Barry had to do was make a device to create another tear in the multiverse and send you and Harrison through it. Again far easier to say then execute. But, you had hope that one day you’ll be home again. Harrison, however, was more pessimistic. Groaning and mumbling at every chance he could. And now, you were forced to live with him and his pessimistic attitude along with his other horrible habits. To be honest, you were seconds away from snapping and sending his ass out the window.

For example, like right now. You were taking a lovely shower. Enjoying the warm water. Enjoying the peace. When the sound of flushing in the distance disturbed it. Your relaxing warm water turned scolding hot. You yelped. Harrison’s chuckling could be heard on the other side of the door.

Enraged, you shut off the water and threw on your clothes not bothering to completely dry yourself. You cracked open the door to find Harrison on the couch with papers scattered all over the coffee table. He didn’t necessarily trust Cisco and Barry – or their intellect as he put it – with finding the solution quickly. So, he decided to do it himself. And was failing.

An idea formed in your head. Smirking, you raised your hand as a purple glow emanated from it. Papers on the table huddled together as a purple ball formed around them. Trapping all the work. Harrison jumped back. Confused then realization hit. The papers secured in the purple ball hurtled towards you. You plucked the papers out of the air. Harrison stared wide-eyed. You continued to smirk as the papers disappeared out of your hand. Teleported across the city.

“What the hell!” Harrison zoomed in front of you. “That was all my work! Where did you send it?”

“Scattered into the wind,” you said. “How about you go find it? It’s all over the city. So, that should keep you busy for a bit.”

He glared. But, he heed your word and left. Giving you some peace. You dried your hair and plopped down onto the couch thankful for the serenity. Out of habit, you started to fiddle with your necklace. Your fingers traced over the names. I’ll be home soon. Your heart ached for your team – your family. You wanted to see their faces again. God, they must be worried. I wonder what’s happening. Are they all okay? Did the militia expand? Is the city in any more ruins? No. No. My family can protect the city and its people.

Harrison appeared back with papers clutched in his hands and a scowl on his face. “Don’t you ever do that again,” he growled.

You rolled your eyes. “Yeah, you’re right. Next time I’ll just send your ass.”

He grumbled and started stiffing back through his notes. You watched him as he scratched out equations and wrote new ones. Against your better judgement, you muttered, “Do you think we will make it back home?”

Harrison raised an eyebrow at you. “I thought you were supposed to be the hopeful one.”

You glared. “You know what? Forget it. Forget I ever asked.”

He sighed. He stared at you as you looked out the window fiddling with the names tags. A habit he noted early on. He saw the pain in your eyes. The longing. And for a moment, he sympathized with you. He missed his city too. He missed his team. He missed it all.

“I think I can get us home,” he finally said. Your head snapped back to him. He continued, “It’s difficult, but I think I can do it.”

You bit your lip. “Harrison, can I suggest something?”

He huffed. “I suppose.”

“Talk with Cisco and Barry. They’re working on it as well so if you joined them then you could find the solution faster.”

He was about to protest but agreed. Three head are better than one. As the evening passed, Cisco opened the apartment door. Pizzas in his hand. “Hey guys!” He cheered. “Your friend Cisco was kind enough to get some pizza for all of us.”

You chuckled and walked over to the dining table. Grabbing a slice, you and Cisco started chatting about your day. Or mainly just Cisco’s day. You had very little to do. Besides, annoy Harrison.

Harrison picked up a slice then paused. His eyes flickered to you then back to his notes. Goddamn it, he thought. Dropping the slice back into the box, he marched over and grabbed his notes then handed them off to Cisco.

Cisco stared at his notes with his mouth wide open about to shovel in more pizza. He reluctantly put down the pizza and took Harrison’s notes. “What’s this?” Cisco asked flipping through the papers.

“Ideas on how I – we – can get back,” Harrison answered.

Cisco turned over every paper as his eyes grew wide. “Oh my god. A few of these might work.” He pointed at one. “You see I was already working on an idea similar to this but I never considered the fact that our Earths may vibrate at a different frequency. It definitely added another factor and safety issues but we could work with this.”

A smile twitched on your lips as Harrison and Cisco started bouncing off ideas as well as equations to solve the problem.

A few days later in the middle of the night, you continued to roll around in the bed. Fuck me. Dragging yourself out of bed, you snuck out of the room into the living room. Harrison laid on the couch eyes closed. Quietly, you wondered into the kitchen joined next to the living room. You grabbed a glass of water and sat at the table. Trying to quiet your racing mind.

“What are you doing?”

You turned your head to see Harrison sitting up on the couch. Shirtless, if you might add. You sighed, “I can’t sleep.”

He flopped back onto the couch out of view. For whatever reason, you walked over. You fell into a chair. Harrison glanced over to you. You ignored him and stared at the city. The vast lights twinkling in the dark sky. “I can’t stand it here.” You confessed. “I hate how quiet it is.”

He stared at you not saying a word.

You continued. Needing to get it all off your chest. Even if it was Harrison. “You think someone who comes from a war torn city with constant gun fire I would like the peace. But, I don’t. All I think is when the gunfire will start up, or when the next explosion will shake the city. And I just can’t stop thinking about my team. They’re back home without me. Are they safe? Are they alive? I don’t know. And it kills me. I can’t enjoy this peace knowing they’re back home in danger.”

Harrison sat up hunched over. He exhaled, “Yeah, I know what you mean.” You looked to him. Your eyes connected. “But I know we’ll get back. I’ll make sure of it.”

Hatred for each other disappeared that night. Both of you were stuck here so why make the time any more painful than it needed to be? But, what comes next after hatred? What was the next step in this bizarre twist in your relationship?

You soon found out.

You were on the couch bored out of your mind. Out of curiosity, you picked up the game. Your game. Your life. All compacted into a disc. Well, I have nothing else better to do. An hour later, you started shouting at the screen. Harrison at the kitchen table whirled around seeing you on your feet yelling at the TV.

“What the hell are you doing?” he asked.

You spun around as your cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “Nothing!”

He raised an eyebrow. “Really? Nothing? After you just shouted ‘fuck off, you piece of shit’.”

“Uh … yeah?”

He got up. You immediately blocked the TV. He zoomed forward and moved you aside. On the screen was you – or your character – in the middle of rubble with the red glowing words ‘Game Over’. He smirked glancing at you. “You’re playing our game?”

“So?” You crossed your arms. “I was bored and what else am I supposed to do.”

“And you lost? Playing yourself?”

“Well I have to say that the game mechanics suck and I can do so much more than just force fields around myself. I can use it to attack but clearly the game designers didn’t get word of that.”

Harrison’s eyes looked back at the screen. His smirk widen. His little icon stood victoriously. “And you lost against me? Well doesn’t this keep getting better and better.”

“Alright, Thawne, how about you play as yourself and try to win against me?”

“Is that a bet?” He stepped closer.

“Yes.”

“And what do I get if I win?”

“Not a punch to the face.” You smiled sweetly.

He chuckled. “Aright, deal.”

Hours later, Cisco came home. He froze outside his apartment door. Shouting and cursing made his blood run cold. He burst through the door. He halted when he saw you doing a little victory dance while Harrison grumbled on the couch.

“One more round,” Harrison countered.

“Oh no, no, no.” You smiled. “I won fair and square and you said one more round last time.”

“Are – are you guys playing your own game?” Cisco asked.

You and Harrison spun around slightly embarrassed. “Uh … yes.” You answered.

“Christ! I thought the two of you were fighting again!”

“I mean technically we were.”

The next day, you and Harrison – against Cisco’s wishes – played the game again. Round after round. More and more tension rose. Harrison leaned in towards you with a wide smirk. You grumbled and crossed your arms.

“Look who won again,” he teased.

You rolled your eyes. “Well, I won the first couple of times.”

“Yes, but you’ve now lost three times in a row.”

“That’s because you keep using that stupid glitch to win!”

“So?”

“You’re cheating,” you huffed.

“No, I’m not.”

“Yes, you are.” You jabbed your finger at his chest.

He grabbed your wrist leaning in. His face very close. “No. I’m. Not.”

“Yes … you … are.”

Both of you held your breaths. Eyes darted to the other’s lips. Without hesitating, Harrison cupped your face pulling you close. Lips collided. You hummed and clutched his shirt. Instantly, you straddled his lap. Harrison tugged on your bottom lip. His forehead pressed against yours. Both of you breathless. Eyes blown wide. He smirked wickedly. His mouth latched onto your neck. You sighed craning your head to the side. His kissed and nipped at you. His arms wrapped around your waist bringing you closer. Your fingers combed through his hair. You gasped when Harrison bit down hard. He chuckled and soothed the pain with his tongue. His hands crawled under your shirt. His fingers cold against your hot skin. Slowly, he lifted up your shirt and almost took it off. Almost.

The front door clicked. Keys jingled. You pulled Harrison off your neck. He groaned. Gripping onto him, you teleported both of you into the spare bedroom. Harrison flopped onto the bed as you still straddled him. He smirked. His eyes twinkled with mischief. You rolled your eyes and stood up. You walked over and peered through the cracked door to see Cisco throwing his things onto the kitchen table.

A crackle of lightning caused the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Harrison leaned over and watched Cisco too. “We can still continue,” he whispered. “We’ll just have to be very quiet.”

You smacked his chest. “No way.”

He huffed.

“Guys? (Y/N)? Harrison?” Cisco wondered around the apartment.

You looked to Harrison. “Not a word about this, okay?”

“What? Afraid Cisco will think differently about you?” He raised an eyebrow.

“No, I’m afraid he’ll kick us out if he think we’re having sex all over all his apartment.”

“Alright, my lips are sealed.” He whispered into your ear. “As long as we continue this some other time.”

You and Harrison snuck into the living as Cisco walked out of his bedroom. He smiled at the two of you. “There you are! Guys, I have some great news. Barry and I had a breakthrough. We can get you back to your world.”

You blinked. “What? Really?”

“Yes! Well also thanks to Harrison’s work we were able to crack it. We’re building a device now, but you guys can leave.” His eyes darted excitedly. “And Harrison with your speed and help you guys could leave in days.”

You and Harrison shared a look. Both of you hopeful to see your home again, but with this insane new turn of event, of new feelings, what will happen? What did it mean when you got back? Is this nothing? Just a fluke? A surge of random emotions? Will you go back to being enemies?

“That’s great, Cisco,” you smiled addressing him. “I guess it’s just a lot. I hoped this would happen but I never expected to happen sooner than it did.”

“I know right! And we couldn’t have done it without Harrison’s notes.”

Harrison nodded. “Uh, you’re welcome. And yeah I could help you tomorrow. The sooner we get back the better.”

Later that night, you laid in bed staring at the ceiling. We’re … we’re going home. Back into the chaos. But what does these mean for me and Harrison? You sighed bringing a pillow over your face. You groaned into it.

“Are you always like this in bed?”

You sat up and the pillow fell into your lap. Harrison leaned in the doorway a smile twitched on his lips. You asked, “What do you want?”

“Maybe to finish what we started earlier.” He smirked.

He charged forward but fell to ground rubbing his head. Surrounding you and the bed was a purple bubble. Now, you were the one smirking. You dangled your feet over the bed peering down at Harrison. “For a genius scientist you can be really stupid,” you chuckled.

Harrison grumbled standing up. He touched the bubble glaring more at it than you. “I hate these force fields.”

“Why? Because it’s the only thing you can’t phase through,” you teased.

“Yes because it’s keeping me from you.”

You blushed. A minor distraction that caused your bubble to fade. Harrison smirked and pinned you on the bed. Your wrists above your head. Harrison’s legs straddled you. Your heart skipped. You mumbled, “Harrison.”

“Yes?” He leaned in placing a soft kiss on the crook of your neck.

You hummed. “Wait.”

He pulled back with a cocked eyebrow. “What?”

You avoided his eyes. Avoided those piercing blue eyes. “What … what will happen when we get back? Are – are we just going to ignore all of this?”

He released your wrists and rolled off of you. “Is that was you want?”

You shook your head sitting up. “No … I … I want to try.” You fiddled with your hands still not making eye contact.

“I want that too.”

You head whipped up. Eyes wide. Harrison smiled softly. “Really?” you muttered.

“Yes.” He cupped your face. “All day I had this idea of us working together. Uniting our teams and helping Clash City. And I may be a bit … intense at times but I think we could finally restore peace. Then we could have a normal life like here.”

You placed your hand over top of his. “I would like that.”

Over the next couple of days, Harrison, Cisco, and Barry worked on creating the device to get you back home again. On the final day, Cisco and Harrison rushed into the apartment smiling. They did it. That night everyone celebrated. And the following morning, you, Harrison, Cisco, and Barry stood in Cisco’s apartment. A small metallic device rested in Harrison’s palm. You hugged Cisco and Barry goodbye.

“Well, it’s not completely goodbye. I can still see you every day. More on a screen though,” Cisco joked.

You shook your head. “Maybe we’ll visit sometime in future. After we finally restore Clash City.”

“I would like that.”

You turned to Harrison who finished saying his goodbyes to Barry. “Ready?”

“Ready,” he said.

He extended his hand out and you gladly accepted it. He pressed the button and a blue halo appeared in the middle of the room. Your heart raced. Peering over your shoulder, you smiled once more at Cisco and Barry. You looked to Harrison and nodded. He squeezed your hand and the two of you stepped through. Back to Clash City. Back to a war zone. Yet, no longer enemies. No longer fearful for the future. A new hope planted into your heart. Thanks to Harrison.

Switch, Switch

Requested by Anonymous: Barry and the reader switch bodies because of a meta and they have to stay like that for a couple of days.

Pairings: Barry Allen x reader

Word count: 2231

A/N: Hey, guys! This request was really fun so I tried my best to make it interesting for everybody. The ending is not so good because I couldn’t find anything else to write, but I hope you like it anyway lol. Let me know your thoughts! x

Masterlist

You woke up this morning feeling refreshed after a well-deserved good night of sleep. The day before you had stayed at STAR Labs the whole time assisting the team with a very hard to get metahuman. The Flash was able to catch her and take her to the lab, where you were responsible for locking her up in the pipeline.

You still quite don’t know what her powers are exactly, but during the fight she was disappearing and appearing all the time and fast through the crowd, it was even hard to figure out which one of those people was actually her. After all of that adventure you felt so tired that when you got home it felt like you had passed out on your bed.

You slowly started opening your eyes and stretching your limbs, feeling your clothes a little tight to your body. While you stretched your legs you felt your feet dangling from the bed, causing a cold sensation. You sat up a little confused, running your hands through your hair. And that’s when you felt something was really wrong.

Your hands went for your locks, but they weren’t there anymore, the back of your neck was completely bare. You brought your hands down and analyzed them, noticing that your small hands with nails painted black were now big, with long and lanky fingers. It all felt like it was happening in slow motion, just like a movie scene. You started yelling and ran out of bed, standing in front of the mirror in your dresser and, when you saw your reflection, you couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t you at all. The reflection was of Barry Allen.

Your screams were cut short by pure confusion. You got closer to the mirror, crinkling your eyebrows and running your hands on your face and then on your body. You moved around and made weird faces to check if the reflection was actually right, and it was.

“Yep, there’s definitely something wrong here”, you whispered in disbelief. “Did I take something last night? What the hell is happening to me? I must be dreaming, this isn’t real”, you tried to reason with yourself.

You jumped a little when your cellphone started ringing, taking you by surprise. You saw Cisco’s face on the caller ID and quickly picked it up.

“Cisco, oh my God”, you said rapidly. “Thank God you called, I really need help”.

"Y/N, is it you? Your voice is -”

“I think I’m sick with a strong fever or hallucinating and oh my God I think I might be dying!”, you cut him.

“Yup, it’s Y/N”, he chuckled, but soon returned to a serious tone. “Listen, you’re not dying, I think... But something happened. You need to come here right now”.

“Ho-How do you know something happened?”.

“Because your body is here, but it isn’t you”, he sighed. “It’s Barry”.

“What the hell?”, you exclaimed loud.

“Come. Right. Now”.

He hung up on you and you very nervously started to get ready to leave. You searched through all your wardrobe and drawers to find something you could use, because clearly Barry’s 6 foot tall body wasn’t going to look so good on your skinny jeans or skirts. You luckily found some old sweatpants and a hoodie that he had left at your place on one of your movie nights. As for shoes, you truly couldn’t find anything that would fit on his feet.

“Now how the hell am I going to dress up? I can’t just see Barry’s naked body like this”, you talked to yourself. “Wait a minute!”, a mischievous grin approached your lips and you just started running.

Suddenly everything in the room started flying away as it was taken by yellow lightning. When you stopped, you were already fully dressed and, well, barefoot. You decided to try his powers one more time and ran to get to STAR Labs. You stumbled a few times and missed the way, but eventually you got there.

You entered the cortex to find all your friends standing there, eyes widened looking back and forth between you and...you. Except it wasn’t you, it was just your body, dressed in really oversized jeans and a sweater.

“What the actual hell?”, you said looking at the body right in front of you.

“Y/N, is it really you?”, Barry approached slowly, looking at himself up and down, shocked. “What is going on, you guys? This is messed up”, he yelled.

“Why am I Barry?”, you said in the same tone as him. “Do you know how this happened?”.

“We are not sure yet”, Cisco said.

“And how exactly can we change this?”, Barry inquired.

“We are also not sure”, he said almost scared.

“This is completely insane! How is this even possible?”, you were freaking out.

“Well, to be fair a lot of weird, impossible things have already happened to us, so...”, Iris spoke up.

“Yeah, people with powers being criminals and stuff, but never waking up in my friend’s body! It’s a girl’s body!”, he exclaimed. “I really really need to pee but I can’t just do that! I put on these clothes on top of my pajamas!”, he was desperate and everybody was visibly stiffling a laugh.

“Um, thank you for not looking at my naked body?”, you said. “I also haven’t...you know. I used your speed to get ready so I wasn’t able to really see anything”.

“Okay, that’s... nice, I guess. And why the hell are you not wearing shoes?”, he looked down, raising an eyebrow.

“Barry, I’m a small person in, like you said, a girl’s body. I don’t have men’s footwear lying around at my place”.

“That’s fair”.

“Also, I need to pee as well. And I’m like, really hungry”.

“Right, which takes me back to HOW THE HELL DO WE FIX THIS?”, Barry desperately looked at everybody.

“Okay, let’s calm down a little”, Caitlin said. “Why don’t we all sit down and relax for a moment? Let’s get you something to eat and then we’ll talk, calmly”.

You and Barry looked at each other with an understanding look and, with a sigh, you both sat down at a nearby desk. Iris and Cisco brought you coffee and some pastries. You carefully ate them, trying to calm yourself down.

“This just doesn’t make any sense, you guys”, you talked lowly. “If Barry and I had fought and needed to learn a lesson to see how much we care about each other I’d understand, but literally nothing happened”.

“You- Are you basing this on Freaky Friday?”, Cisco asked.

“…Maybe”.

“Glad I’m not the only one”, Barry said almost to himself.

“Alright, let’s just put our brains together for a moment”, Iris said. “What happened to you that was different? Like, did you walk near some place with radiation or something? Anything you remember that could’ve started this?”.

“No! I was here the entire time yesterday and then went straight home!”, you replied.

”So did I”.

“Then something happened here”, Cisco affirmed.

“But how?”, you asked. “Shouldn’t it have happened to everybody, then?”.

“Maybe it was something specific with you two, I don’t know”.

“Why don’t we just relive yesterday, shall we?”, Iris suggested. “Let’s go step by step. How did the day start?”.

You both proceeded to tell them about your previous day in detail, going through everything.

“…Then Barry brought that meta back here, I cuffed her, locked her up and went home. Honestly, after that I don’t really remember much, I kinda just passed out and woke up this morning, like this”.

“Now that you’ve mentioned, I also don’t remember much from when I got home. I think I just slept right away”, Barry added.

“Interesting…”, Caitlin said. “To me it looks like there’s only one thing in common in both routines”.

Everybody kept looking at her with an unknowing look, she just sighed.

“The metahuman, you guys!”.

“But we don’t even know what her powers are!”, you said.

“Exactly, what if she’s a body switcher?”, Cisco inquired a little more excited than he should be.

“Is that even a thing?”, Barry asked.

“Maybe it is! Maybe that’s why we kept losing her in the crowd, because every time she would have a new body!”, he exclaimed. “Ha, that’s kind of amazing!”.

“Do you think it may happen when she touches someone? Because that could be how you both got switched: Y/N was the last person that touched her to put on the dampening cuffs and Barry was the one before that to bring her in. Maybe she used the last wave of her powers right when you touched her, before the cuffs could restrain them”, Caitlin explained.

“That’s a lot to process”, Barry said rubbing his temples.

“That could be it, I guess? But that still doesn’t answer how Barry and I can get back to normal”.

“Good thing the meta is just downstairs”, Iris said with an arched eyebrow. “Who’s in?”.

“Oh, I am”, you said getting up. “She better give me my body back”.

“Hell yeah!”, Barry agreed with you, getting up from his seat.

“Wait, first we need a plan”, Iris suggested. “She’s not just going to change you back for nothing”.

“Yeah, Iris is right”, Cisco agreed. “We need to offer something that she can’t refuse”.

You talked for a moment and elaborated your plan. Then, you made your way to the pipeline. Before that, they advised you to put on Barry’s Flash suit to not give away his identity. As the gate of her cell opened up, you could see the woman’s purple hair starting to appear behind the glass window, a devilish grin on her lips at the sight of you.

“Took you long enough”, she said in a mocking tone.

“What the hell did you do?”, Barry inquired.

“What do you think I did, pretty girl? Or should I say, pretty boy?”, she laughed.

“So it was you!”, you said frustrated.

“Yeah, it was, Sherlock”, she replied with an unamused tone. “Honestly, I thought you’d have put the pieces together a little faster”, you all looked at each other and rolled your eyes. “Really? C’mon! Faster, got it? Because he’s The Flas-“.

“Listen here, lady”, you said louder, banging your hand on the glass. “You’re going to tell us how to undo this, and you’re going to do it right now!”.

“Why exactly would I do that?”, she raised an eyebrow.

“Because we are here to offer you a deal”, Cisco stepped in.

“A deal?”, she scoffed.

“Do you really think we’d just come here and expect you to help us on your own free will? C’mon, we’re not stupid and we know you aren’t either”.

“What could you possibly have to offer me?”.

“Your freedom”, he said matter of factly. “Switch my friends back and we’ll let you go”.

“You’ll let me go? Just like that?”, she crossed her arms. “I don’t buy it”.

“Well, you should”, Barry said. “Because this is literally the only way we have of going back to normal and we would very much like our own bodies back”.

“Huh, you have an interesting point…”.

“Take it or leave it. But just think about it: if you leave it, nobody wins. We stay like this forever and you stay locked up forever”, you affirmed.

“Fine”, she groaned. “I’ll switch you back”.

“That’s what I thought”, Cisco smirked.

Iris pressed down the button of the cell and the glass opened, letting the woman step out. Cisco carefully removed the cuffs from her wrists and she told you to come closer, which you did attentively. She placed one hand on each of your shoulders and released her powers. You could feel a tingling sensation followed by dizziness. You felt your body shutting down for a moment, and, when you opened your eyes again, you were you.

“I’m back!”, you said smiling, running your hands through your body.

“So am I!”, Barry exclaimed, rushing to give you a hug.

“That’s cute and all, but can I go now?”, the woman said calmly.

“Oh, yeah, that’s…”, Barry started saying as he ran around her, putting the cuffs back on. “…not gonna happen”.

“What?”, she yelled angrily. “We had a deal!”.

“Well, sometimes the good guys lie, too”, he said with a smirk. “You’re going nowhere”, he started taking her back into the cell.

“This is not fair!”.

“Putting me in a man’s body was also not fair, so”, you gave her an ironic smile. “Enjoy your time”.

As you were leaving the pipeline you could still hear her screaming and threatening you, but all you did was laugh and high-five each other.

“She really fell for that, man”, Cisco chuckled.

“Too bad for her, I guess”, you said nonchalantely. “All I know is that now I can pee, take a shower and get rid of these gigantic clothes, thank you very much”.

“And I can put on my shoes”, Barry said and you chuckled. “Wanna a ride home?”, he offered putting his arm around your shoulder.

“Obviously. I’m in a hurry to be myself again!”.

“You know what? Tonight is actually movie night. Are you still down?”, he asked.

“Sure, as long as we don’t watch Freaky Friday, though”.

You laughed together as Barry rushed you home, both of you eager to get back to normal right away.

Summary: “If you jump out of this plane without a parachute one more time, I don’t know what I'm gonna do, but you will not like it.” Bucky yanked, hard, on one of the straps holding the parachute on—Steve gave a soft grunt of complaint. Bucky shot him a look and jerked it harder.

This work has been discontinued and has been completely rewritten as Closed Book. This is not a sequel, prequel, or otherwise related. Read Closed Book with the confidence it will conclude, but this is an older version of it and will not.

Last Update: 2017

Fandom & Main Pairing: The Avengers ; Stucky

Personal Notes: Pretty self explanatory on this one I think, lol. I haven’t read Closed Book yet but I loved what there was of open book so it’s def on my list to tackle next!

Hard to Breathe by sourwulfur

Summary: What with the Nemeton making things difficult for Stiles and the gang, a school project shoves Danny and Stiles into spending time together. That little push may be all it takes to start forming a bond as more than just classmates. Maybe Danny could be the one to help Stiles find a light in the dark where his friends are already succeeding.

Last Update: 2014

Fandom & Main Pairing: Teen Wolf ; Stanny? Diles? It’s such a rare pair I honestly don’t know.

Personal Notes: I think this might be the one and only fic I have ever read that was Danny x Stiles in my many many many many many many MANY years of reading teen wolf fanfic. It was decent, I liked where it was going, I just wish we’d gotten to the end. There’s like, 9 chapters but a lot is left up in the air so if you need closure, don’t even start this one.

Junkyard Dogs by TrashPanda

Summary: Orphaned at a young age, Derek is sold into the slave market. His dynamic as an alpha, and a werewolf, make him a desirable slave to have working in Peter's alpha brothel, The Junkyard.Stiles is a 21 year old virgin omega who's tired of going through heats alone. Dating isn't a realistic prospect, so he seeks out The Junkyard, hoping to maybe find an alpha to help him through his rapidly approaching heat.Then he meets Derek, one of the Junkyard Dogs, who's also about to go into rut. And nothing could stop the pull they feel towards one another.

Last Update: 2018

Fandom & Main Pairing: Teen Wolf ; Sterek

Personal Notes: This one actually hasn’t been left for very long I’m just no longer interested in the story it has to tell

Some Kind Of Madness by cutestpixieyoueversaw

Summary: ****WARNING: Story is currently being rewritten and organized until June/July 2018. Deletions and additions will happen in the meantime***Stiles apparently has a type. You know unfairly attractive for this worldly plane while having perhaps some of the best wit around? The kind of wit that could be spoken with only facial expressions. Bonus if they gave Einstein a run for his money. Oh he forgot to add Alpha because it was now a thing, perhaps even a kink if he was going to be really honest with himself.Or the one where Stiles realizes that his life should be a MTV show because the drama he has is worthy of cable television.Or the one where Stiles meets another pack and gets to understand that Bella and Sookie really had the worst luck ever and he is not them but really it's reading like he is. P.S. Tinkerbell is a bitch.

Last Update: 2014

Fandom & Main Pairing: Teen Wolf ; Sterek

Personal Notes: I feel like I remember liking this but it’s been so long and while it claims it’s being re-written, I’ve kinda just lost interest. Hopefully the revamped version is even better than the original and I def encourage y’all to give it a chance.

By All Four by Sunshineditty

Summary: Sentinel Jim Ellison and his guide Blair Sandburg are on the trail of a serial killer who murders young latent and online sentinels in the Pacific Northwest. Derek Hale - an unbonded guide - is trying to live through the pity of friends and family when his sentinel ex-girlfriend and the guide she left him for return to Beacon Hills. None of them will predict the series of events and the feral sentinel who will change the course of their lives forever.

Last Update: 2016

Fandom & Main Pairing: Teen Wolf ; Sterek

Personal Notes: I don’t know enough about Sentinel to really judge the fic, but I do remember it made me want to actually hunt down the original show to watch because it seemed interesting.

No Longer Human by battlegod (Battle_god_Ye_Xiu)

Summary: He now understood why moths would flit towards a flame, pining for its warmth even as they caught fire. It was the irresistible attraction of light when one was surrounded by darkness. Reaching for the lone spark that shone at night, was that not the instinct of all living things?

Last Update: 2019

Fandom & Main Pairing: The King’s Avatar ; Huáng Shàotiān xYù Wénzhōu

Personal Notes: I’ve watched this drama like, 20 times but I’ve lost interest in fics pretty much. Mostly because it’s understandably hard to find anything in english, lol. We can’t all be Untamed.

Swapped by writeonclara

Summary: if u wanted my number u couldve just asked

u didnt have to steal my whole phone ;)

Steve stared down at his phone, confused. He didn't recognize the number – except, oh wait, he really did. That was his number. On his phone.He flipped the phone over, then slid one hand down his face.

Not his phone.

“Fuck,” he muttered.

Last Update: 2018

Fandom & Main Pairing: Captain America ; Stucky

Personal Notes: It’s a cute start but not interesting enough for me to hold onto. Stucky is one of those....tangential pairings that is more I know a lot of people who ship it and the stories tend to be interesting so I’ll read it when I happen across something that catches my eye but I don’t like...go hunting for it.

two drums in the grey by brandywine421

Summary: “Standard disclaimer – you are not on the first or second string of our emergency call trees,” Cisco said.

“So why are you here?” Barry yawned.

“We’ve got a new speedster. Wally West,” Caitlin said, preemptively wincing.

Last Update: 2018

Fandom & Main Pairing: The Flash/Green Arrow ; Flarrow

Personal Notes: This is actually the second in a series, the first story is complete and I honestly don’t remember much about it but it must have been good if I subscribed to the sequel. So take that as you will, lol.

I have wandered into your tumblr and I want to know absolutely everything about your ideas for Earth 3 Impetus and Motion. EVERYTHING. Possibly the least relevant part of that is the family line, as Earth 3 often has really skewed versions of the characters. Would the first Johnny Quick even have a speedster grandson when he was killed and his blood used to power his successors?

Oh, cool ask! Thank you!

😄 I’m very happy to talk about this but I’m afraid you may be disappointed, because I’m Doing It Wrong. I’ve been working off and on on a bespoke Earth-3 for the past…several years. Production has slowed but not stopped. It’s up to over 300,000 words on AO3 at this point.

The issue that set me off was that tendency to skew; I didn’t like it. I found that, most of the times DC had built into Earth-3 before rebooting again, there were two countervailing currents leading writing decisions. On the one hand to make things As Wrong As Possible compared to the main timeline, and on the other to just make them…arbitrarily different.

Lois Lane is Superwoman, evil counterpart of Wonder Woman, for some reason, woop-de-do; this fits under both categories.

This process worked neither according to the ‘timeline that diverged into a Bad Timeline at some point in the distant past but somehow contains versions of the same people in the same place’ premise of the original Star Trek ‘Mirror, Mirror’ episode, nor does it work according to any direct cosmic principle of inversion, although some of the early versions claimed to.

(See: Mirror Christopher Columbus discovered Europe and then later Evil George Washington conquered England for the American Empire, what even guys. 😩)

Also Earth-3 so transparently existed almost every time it was reinvented as a place to get villains from, and to look bad in comparison to the main timeline, without any attention to making it work internally, which I thought was a damn waste of a cool concept. ‘A damn waste of a cool concept’ drives a lot of fanwork lol.

So for my world, I had the slightly conflicting goals of working as close to that amorphous thing ‘canon’ as possible, and of making the setting stand on its own, as a superhero setting, with internal causality and more or less the usual sort of hero-versus-villain logic. So I inverted the alignments of only superheroes and supervillains, and kept as much as possible of their backstories intact.

This means my stuff doesn’t map onto any canon Earth-3, especially not the one from Forever Evil because that came out after I’d already gotten all the big things pinned down. 😅 Some people get upset about this and come yell at me about how i.e. Owlman is Thomas Wayne Junior. But since I always saw that particular concept as a huge cop-out from looking at how few alterations it takes to turn Bruce Wayne into a spectacular villain, I was like ‘nuts to that’ from the start.

If you’re cool with my relationship with canon, on we go.

-&-

So, Impetus and Motion! I don’t remember what I said on that one post where I remember blathering about it, so forgive me if I repeat myself. ^^

Lineage is the same as canon, technically. I’ll go over it; if you don’t care just skip ahead to the next subsection. 😄

Mirror Barry Allen, the Dash, got his villain name for his signature kill technique of grabbing someone, hyperaccelerating them, and then letting go at the right moment that they get dashed against something immovable and go splat. He dashes people against things.

(His eventual sidekick, Blaze, got his for liking to make things combust by accelerating their molecules. The combination makes them sound like a pair of racehorses, which they did not intend and are very annoyed by when it’s pointed out.)

The Dash is pretty scary, especially because most of the ways he abuses his speed for profit are so low-key nobody even notices (i.e. screwing with the stock market) and he doesn’t need to be a supervillain. He just likes it.

His public villain profile is relatively low for the level of danger he poses, tho, because his town is infested with really dumb superheroes who beat him embarrassingly often, when he actually turns up to fight or is successfully ambushed. And with the occasional exception the scale of his crimes is fairly small compared to i.e. Ultraman.

Keeping him imprisoned is ridiculously difficult, tho. He can’t be completely depowered (because the Speed Force is external to him and all the power dampeners that are used assume they’re trying to shut off something generated internally) and he’s really smart, so it took years of battles to keep him long enough to transfer into a proper cell even, and longer to get an unblurred look at his face.

His secret identity survived so long that Barry Allen was there to comfort Iris West after she was targeted by the Dash on several occasions, and they were married by the time he got ultimately unmasked.

She left him after that and moved back to the future, which she was still from because that’s hilarious, but he eventually tracked her down and promised to reform if she’d take him back. This obviously fell apart eventually, but not until after the twins were born.

I haven’t mapped out the mirror Thawne line. I assume the Thawnes with healing powers who inadvertently adopted Barry’s twin were much nicer in this timeline but idk if he ever became Cobalt Blue or what. I hope he lived to old age. Apparently there have been multiple Cobalts Blue? Idk idc, Flash continuity what even are you.

Everyone thought Eobard Thawne was nuts, but he actually did go back in time and stop the Dash from destroying the world with nukes in a fit of rage, his historical analysis, method of giving himself speed powers, and time machine were all successful. He may additionally suffer from some degree of psychosis, but he wasn’t wrong. (His little brother still exists in this universe because good!Eobard wasn’t the type to manipulate time to erase inconvenient family members. He also doesn’t have the title Professor because he never got tenure, so he just goes by Zoom.)

-&-

Bart is still Don and Meloni’s kid. Frankly I don’t understand those two in the normal timeline, so it’s hard to construct their mirror versions in any depth or even decide whether they should get mirrored. (Probably not tbh.) But I don’t exactly need to, because the resulting Bart is very much the same and thus doesn’t really know them. He was still born with his weird speed glitch that caused him to be raised in a simulation, and eventually time-traveled to un-glitch him.

The difference is that he’s not a nice kid. He’s a two year old who looks twelve and has received all his socialization from reasonably good AI in a world that was not real. Where nothing had consequences. Where nobody was real.

He’s very frightening, is Impetus. Impetuous, wildly powerful, selfish–oddly sweet, occasionally, in the ‘gay and innocent and heartless’ way of Peter Pan, but probably even more likely than Peter to knife someone. He’s so delighted the first time he eats actual ice cream, as opposed to a simulated version, but the ice cream stand is now on fire.

Mirror Bart isn’t so much cruel or even un-empathetic as solipsistic. He’s arrested in the state of an intellectually advanced toddler playing, what’s that game called, the one where the objective seems to be getting in car chases a lot? When was the last time they made a new one, I feel like I haven’t heard it mentioned in ages, it’s a dead franchise isn’t it I’m old. Grand Theft Auto! That’s it. He doesn’t just not understand that danger is real, the way Impulse started out. People aren’t.

Impetus is easily bored and surrounded by NPCs. It gets ugly, sometimes.

He also time-travels a lot more frequently than normal Bart, because he doesn’t really get attached so he doesn’t try to maintain a normal life of any kind, so he pops up all over the timestream.

Jason Blood hated him personally long before Bart had any idea who he was; they have a villain rivalry plagued by causality issues and closed time loops that is alternately epic and stupid as fuck.

And then there’s Thad. Thad’s had a less awful time than he did in canon, I think–President Thawne is not technically a supervillain so he’s probably about the same as in the original timeline, but even assuming Meloni and Don are still out of the picture (probably it’s Barry’s fault in this dimension?) raising a kid as a ‘defense mechanism against a supervillain’ calls for less extreme brainwashing fuckery than raising one to hunt down a superhero.

So he probably behaved a bit more like a reasonable grandparent, simply because the context incentivized him to emphasize concepts like duty and loyalty more, and hatred less. He might even have been able to go public with Thad’s existence, depending on the spin he came up with. Among other factors.

But it was still a depressing, isolated, dehumanizing way to grow up, and it went on a long time, because as per canon Thad has the opposite problem from Bart in terms of how he passes through time. Motion is a 40-year-old man with a 12 year old’s body and approximate life experience.

Thad was already So Tired when he finally got out into the world on his own, and once he encountered Impetus he learned pretty quickly to both pity and fear him.

Even when Thad tries to avoid Bart and just have a life, Bart always crashes back into his existence again, and in the meantime he feels guilty. Because even if he could completely shake off having been raised to see countering Impetus as his whole reason for existence, he’d still feel a lot of personal responsibility to try, because he has the ability to stand up to him in a way almost no one else does, and he knows Bart’s out there resulting in casualties.

Due to all the time travel involved, even having just defeated Impetus doesn’t mean he’s not still out there at an accessible point in the timestream, needing to be stopped.

Impetus results in Motion the way Inertia resists Impulse. They’re very much locked into an action-and-reaction framework that does not even a little bit help with Thad’s clone identity issues.

Except for how the amount of time Thad spends saving people from Bart has slowly created a fairly large body of people over the course of history who know them as distinct entities, and like Thad a lot better.

Good feels good. ^^ It’s not necessarily the case that this happens, obviously, but with their alignment swap they also ultimately exchanged who’s defined by isolation. It takes Bart a long, long time to even understand that he’s lonely.
