writer’s block… but i have scenarios…

i either

A) have writer’s block or

B) no motivation at write or maybeeee

C) too tired to write bc my schedule is starting to get nice, long and full… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

but i have small scenarios... plz take and do whatever you please

i’ll label each one with the character, fandom and the works and i’m in a ✨vehicle✨ so forgive if my words are fucked.. i’m not going back and editing later

cake means NSFW and strawberry means SFW

now.. enjoy

🍓Fire Force; Shrina Kusakabe

so yk when he was carrying Sister Iris? i feel like one day you’d ask him if he could do the same to you, and he would and if you give the say so he’d start flying around with you…. until you guys get in trouble

if you live in the 7th jurisdiction, i can see the twins snitching on you two over it and he’d get in so much trouble because Beni completely babies you

🍓My Hero; Eijiro Kirishima

so what he sees as a date, him and the gang playing games, one in the others lap, and he’s just chill, squishing your thighs and pudgy tummy. he’s got this whole way of speaking without his mouth, hardening his finger and writing morse code

he also has a habit of betting you instead of money whenever he makes bets with denki or bakugou, but ONLY when he knows he’s gonna win

🍰same

so like this might be a lil but still

you like to sit on his lap, perched right on his lovely pelvis, you don’t do anything you just admire him with this little smile on your face… then sometimes his lil scar will catch your eye and you just sit like that, nothing sexual it’s just how you connect with him

🍓 My Hero; Denki Kaminari

he has a habit of staying up when he’s stressed or not in a positive mood and when that happens he eats. like it doesn’t matter what he just eats, so one time he’s going to get instant ramen and he just sees you in the fridge trying to make a sandwich.

🍓 Genshin; Hu Tao

she has either chicken scratch or flawless hand writing

like it’s pure unwired ass when she’s stressed the fuck out but when she calm and happy her writing looks like a beautiful computer font

🍓 Genshin; Childe/Thoma

these idiot forget to drink water

Thoma does it bc he genuinely forgets to when he’s in work mode so you gotta tap him and tell him to drink some

Childe does it bc he think he doesn’t need it bc… stupid and arrogant reasons, he drinks tea, coffee and other drinks and says ‘it’s made with water’

🍰 Genshin;Zhongli

Ok so like when he get mad, he won’t show it, but he spoils you. Full shopping spree(yes i know this man is kinda dumb with his fiancés but it’s bc he’s a god and never had to worry abt it, he’s gonna easily get the hang of stocks and bonds and other shit) he gets your nails done, new makeup, new clothes of all sorts, but when you get home and you try to get anything out he lifts you over his shoulder and carrie’s you to the bed and he… mmmm.. just ravages you, ofc he doesn’t take it took far unless his in a mood and decides to be a complete god- i have an idea now

🍰 My Hero; Aizawa

HE DOESNT LIKE PETPLAY i just have a lil voice screaming it to me

butttt once time you bought this choker with a heart shaped bell and you flicked it. it’s just,,, peaked him yk? and you just haddd to be such a stupid lil brat and when he went to pull it, it did something to you. you usually wear chokers and he will pull on them but this is different

🍓genshin; Thoma

so the lacquerware place (it’s by the alchemy table) would def have Kamisato as one of their top customers. Thoma is always buying nail lacquer for you and sometimes Ayaka if she likes it. he’ll paint your nails himself and make sure they are Perfect.

🍓genshin/Fire Force; Diona/Hinata+Hikage

so imagine them having a favorite thing like knitting or some shit and they legit force you to model for them, like pull you around the city, saying ‘i made this and it’s awesome bc Y/N is wearing it!’

🍰Haikyuu/Kenma

mic usage. he’d make you wear the headset and absolutely destroy your insides while his friends get to listen.

here’s some more content of me!

Iris has a CARRD now. It’s super minimal, but I wanted to help provide some ideas how to interact with Iris. She is incredibly flexible to work with both superhero muses (and those within those universes) and other fandoms that I feel comfortable putting Iris in or melding the two fandoms together. I also love me some AUs which is something that can always be worked through as well.

#never forget iris has connections to other heroes #think esp gotham heroes and the supers #bc she has worked in Gotham as a young journalist (new52)#and ofc she is close friends with Lois Lane #⌜out of character.⌟ : shenanigans and ramblings .

Soulmates w/ Dabi, Shirakumo and Keigo

Request: Hello! I just read a few of your writings &I'd just like to say they're amazing! Anyways, may I request some hc's for a soulmate AU w/ Dabi, Shirakumo, & Hawks?(all separate)- anonymous

Soulmate Aus have a shit ton of tropes so I went for a different trope on each boy bc I love them all. My man Dabi has dipped the last few chapters and I’m getting kinda deprived, although I appreciate him not burning my baby Shoto to a crisp so we good. Love ya.💖💖💖

masterlist II rules

warnings: angst with some fluff

Dabi/Todoroki Touya II Interchangeable eye color

-Dabi’s outlook on love is really negative.

-Growing up the way he did and in the environment he did, the possibilities in him believing or cherishing love and soulmates was low.

-When he got his soulmate sign he was around 12.

-It was the darkest moments of his life and he hated himself to no end.

-When he woke up on that fateful Sunday morning he thought that he was hallucinating.

-Then he imagined that this could be an after affect of his trauma, just like his hair.

-His mind though drifted to his soulmate.

-He didn’t have a mark up until now and your eye color changing was one of the many soulmate signs out there.

-As he stared at his left eye, the e/c orb staring back at him, he began to cry.

-Sobs wracked his body as he clutched his eye.

-This was unfair.

-He shouldn’t have a soulmate, what good could he be to anyone?

-He is a failure and he is gonna bring down his soulmate as well.

-So he hides it.

-Puts a patch over his eye to conceal the new color blooming around his iris and when his family starts questioning it he buys contacts.

-Natsuo helps him even though he doesn’t understand why his brother doesn’t want a soulmate.

-Years pass until he finally meets the person that has changed his life.

-Shigaraki was being a brat as usual, whining about needing new members for his little group.

-Dabi couldn’t care less.

-This whole charade with these losers would only aid him reach his ultimate goal.

-He didn’t care about Shigaraki’s shitty ideologies and otherworldly desires, he just wanted his revenge.

-His eyes scanned the so-called hide out in utter boredom, his gaze landing once again at the bar’s door left slightly ajar in case someone came looking.

-He didn’t expect for the door to open though.

-And as the grease old door creaked open a figure stepped into the room, clad in black from head to toe.

-A mask was covering half of your face leaving only your eyes visible.

-You scanned the place before your eyes landed swiftly on him, knocking the breath out of him as you locked gazes, e/c orbs baring into his own.

-The vibrant blue on your left eye had him gasping for air.

-It was stunning.

-You moved to talk to Shigaraki, your voice albeit monotone and cold, sent tingles up his spine making his hairs stand at attention.

-His eyes were glued on you, one of his hands subconsciously going to the left side of his face where his mark should be visible.

-It felt as if his contact burned his eye and he quickly took it off, not minding about possible infections since he didn’t wash his hands before touching his eYE DAMMIT YA NASTY AF.

-His body was drawn to you, his mind screaming at him to talk to you to go close to you.

-You knew he was your soulmate.

-You had known the moment you stepped into the bar; no one had such a beautiful blue hue in their eyes other than your soulmate.

-Despite your mutual desire to be close to each other you held off for months.

-Months of keeping distance, months of giving each other the cold shoulder.

-It would all reach a tipping point soon and Dabi would finally understand what it’s like to truly love someone.

-Until then though, suffer in your mutual pining.

Shirakumo Oboro II Red string of Fate

-The string around his pinky finger always lay motionless for years.

-It was slack and lifeless, no sign of his soulmate being remotely alive.

-It really worried him, he thought that he might be one of the few unfortunate individuals who didn’t have a soulmate.

-He talked to his friends about it and they all reassured him that his soulmate was just too far away from him so even if they tugged at the string he wouldn’t be able to feel it.

-This reassured him all throughout middle school.

-He started getting a little discouraged when he saw all his classmates getting their soulmate signs whether it be names tattooed on their wrists, one of their eyes changing color or a strand of their hair, other could hear faint music if they concentrated hard enough while others were unfortunate enough to feel their soulmate’s pain.

-Shirakumo was left staring at the red string surrounding his finger.

-He had thought about tugging at it, making the first step instead of waiting for the person on the receiving end.

-But on this day, the day when both Aizawa and Hizashi got their respective signs he found himself tugging at the string.

-At first he pulled lightly watching the string grow taught slowly and then go slack again.

-He waited for what felt like a century before tugging again and again, more force being put in his pulls every time.

-After an hour of waiting and tugging he was done.

-Eyes downcast with a frown on his lips, he was ready to let this whole soulmate thing go.

-At the end of the day he doesn’t need the universe to tell him who he should fall in love with; who he is destined to be with.

-Then he felt it.

-The lightest tug at his finger.

-His eyes followed the red string as it straightened a few times before going limb again.

-Aizawa walked in on him pulling the string like crazy, excited giggles leaving his lips when his soulmate responded with their own pulls.

- “Shota I did it. T-they answered!”

-This whole string communication business lasted until the first day of high school.

-As Oboro walked through the halls of UA he felt the string shift on his finger.

-It was as if it was wrapping tighter around his finger, almost to the point that it hurt.

-Maybe he was about to meet his soulmate that’s why the string was thinning.

-Wait, meet them??

-He wasn’t ready to meet them!!!

-What if they didn’t like him? What if his hair was a bit too cloudy for their likes? Oh god his hair must be a mess because he flew here. Maybe he can dash into one of the bathrooms and fix it real quick. Will he be too loud for them? What-

-Lost in his own thoughts he completely missed the person standing in front of him and soon he was crashing into them, a small grunt leaving his lips as he maneuvered himself to cushion their fall.

- “Oh God I’m so sorry, I was totally zoned out. Are you alright?”

- “Why are you apologizing? I ran into you.”

-He let out a chuckle as you scrambled off of him, dusting off your skirt before offering him a hand.

-As he took it he felt his pinky being released from the pressure.

-Right before your eyes you witnessed the red string that connected you both unwrap for your fingers, illuminating for a moment before completely disappearing leaving a sense of familiarity and warmth in its wake.

-You both stared wide eyed at each other before awkwardly introducing yourselves.

-It didn’t take long for you two to actually fall in love and if you’re being honest it’s was so easy to fall for him that you believed that even if you weren’t soulmates you would have loved him.

-Even after years, even after that fateful summer, the sense of his presence and his warmth never left you; it was as if he wasn’t gone and he was still somewhere out there.

-You were half wrong in that one….I think.

Takami Keigo/Hawks II Name tattoos

-He got his tattoo when he was 13.

-It had really awful timing if he was being honest.

-The hero commission was isolating him completely, even from the few friends he had made around the facility he trained in.

-He couldn’t even begin to imagine what they might do if they find out he had a soulmate.

-He truly wished he had a different soulmate sign or no soulmate at all.

-He did everything in his willpower to hide the calligraphy of your name on his left wrist.

-Bandaging it up, covering it with a watch even scribbling over it like he used to do when he was 9 and bored.

-But at some point it became harder to hide it, harder to conceal the beautiful name that was printed on his wrist.

-So he confided in someone.

-One of the caretakers at the commission had taken him under their wing ever since he was a wittle toddler, he trusted them with his life.

-When he approached them frantically grasping his wrist in attempts to hide the letters, they were both delighted and saddened.

-It was nice knowing that this poor child had someone out there that was meant for him and would make him happy, replace every single one of these awful memories with new ones.

-Memories he would like looking back to.

-But just like Hawks himself they knew that the commission wouldn’t allow this person to get involved with him, at any costs and they knew how far these people could go in order to guarantee Hawks’s undivided concentration.

-So they helped him; they bought him some make up to cover it up and taught him how to apply it correctly.

-By the time he was out of the hands of the commission *at least not in close reach* no one apart from them knew of his soulmate’s name.

- “Now listen here Keigo, I want you to take good care of them when you finally meet them. And never forget that you deserve nice things, don’t let anyone take your happiness away.”

-He did find his happiness.

-It didn’t happen right away but it did come sooner than he expected.

-He had learned about the new transfer student who began attending UA in the middle of the year.

-He never heard their name but he knew they existed.

-Turns out they were quirkless but were determined to become a hero despite their shortcomings.

-After a few months he bumped into them and oh lord his wings have never been puffier.

-He was relaxing on the roof, away from prying eyes and loud people, just him and the birds *he found his people at last*.

-When he heard the door open he almost leaped off the building but paused at the sound of a soft voice.

- “Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know someone was up here.”

-Turning around he came face to face with the most beautiful person he had ever laid his eyes upon.

-For the first time in his life he stumbled over his words, a swift ‘It’s alright’ escaping his lips and before he knew what he was doing he was inviting you to sit with him.

- “Wow you can see everything from here.”

- “The view is better up in the sky if you ask me.”

-After a long pause he added. “I could show you if you want.”

- “How can I trust you? Hmmm?” you teased. “I don’t even know your name.”

-He let out a chuckle before continuing. “Could say the same for you but since I’m a gentleman I will grace you with my name. I’m Keigo Takami or Hawks if you wanna go with my hero persona.”

-He saw your eyes widen as you stared at him, your eyes darting to his covered wrists.

-Quickly you composed yourself straightening your shirt and extending your hand, the black letters of his name delicately engraved on your smooth skin.

- “Nice to meet you, I’m Y/N L/N.”

I had this idea and- Tony and Peter in the lab working together when suddenly Peter gets a call and it’s Ned just talking about LEGO stuff so Peter puts him on speaker. Thing is, Ned has no idea he is with Tony because Peter didn’t address it so he suddenly says “So how’s it going with your Iron Daddy crush?” Or something like that and Peter and Tony look at eachother absolutely SHOCKED

I spent a solid ten minutes wholly entertained by this idea and cycling through all the reactions Peter could have. I hope I did you proud on this one, Non! Thank you so much for considering me ❤️

No triggers/warnings. SFW

Working with Tony was fast becoming one of Peter's favourite things to do. It was even better than building LEGO sets or patrolling the streets, and that was saying something. He lived for the long hours spent in the lab, working alongside or merely coexisting with Tony as they worked, playlists cycling through in the background. It was calming, it felt right.

If he were to hazard a guess, he would say Tony enjoyed it too. He obviously didn’t have much evidence to compare to how Tony had been in the lab prior to his arrival, but these days Tony sang along to the music and talked to Peter about their projects and ordered too much takeout even for the two of them and sometimes, even fell asleep against the workbench after too many long hours.

It was one such night when they were working together; each on their individual projects but bouncing information and ideas between them. Peter was working on adding a small-scale explosive to his web mechanism for things like blowing up concrete or doors and Tony was working on what looked like part of the suit, but could frankly be anything at this point. Peter had once asked him how working on the Gauntlet was going only to be informed it was a vase. A mechanical vase, no less.

“Diamond laser, diamond laser…” Tony muttered, petting about the bench. Peter picked up the tool laying on his own bench.

“Here,” he called, tossing it over. Tony caught it, offered him a brief, warm smile, and dove back into his work. Time passed quietly, until he heard a soft mutter of oh, that’s not good and then-

“Duck!”

Wordlessly Peter dropped down, tucking himself under the safety of his bench as there was a hiss, a clang, and a piece of metal flew over where he’d just been standing, ricocheting off the wall before it clattered to the floor. He righted himself, peered at it curiously, then went back to his own work. Mishaps in the lab were far too common to make a fuss of.

It fell back into a lull, working in tandem and comfortable silence until Peter’s phone rang on the table besides him. He paused, nose crinkling. Aunt May wasn’t expecting him to be home tonight, so that left…

“Hey, Ned,” he greeted as he swiped the call, lifting it to his ear. There was a scuffle and a huff on the other end of the line and he waited patiently as Ned got himself set.

“Dude! Have you seen the new LEGO Avengers set? You gotta get one. It’s got everyone! Well, except you, but technically you’re not an official Avenger yet-”

“Gee, thanks for reminding me,” he drawled, rolling his eyes as he fiddled with a coil one-handed. Ned continued to speak, rattling off the pieces, the details and resolutely demanding they went the moment the store opened tomorrow to get the set. Peter hummed along in agreement, interjecting here and there to demand details.

“Oh, I thought about what we could do for our science project, too!” Ned began, and Peter huffed in irritation as he tried and failed to connect a wire with just one hand. Tony more or less comfortably forgotten in the background, he shuffled his phone down onto the desk and tapped the speaker icon, picking up his tools once Ned’s voice filled the room.

“So I was thinking, right? And I was thinking; hey! Peter has access to all this stuff now! And I know we can’t do anything too dramatic because we’re still losers, but what if we use…” Peter listened intently, tongue sticking out as he focused on screwing on the pressure plate. Ned’s idea actually wasn’t all that bad - Taking inspiration from the web shooters to make a spray-able temporary hole/crack fix.

It was nothing Peter hadn’t already made, so it ought to be easy enough. It was easy to listen along and work; both motions equally soothing. Tony said nothing in the background, engrossed in his own tinkering and content to let their conversation be background noise.

"Oh, and hey! How's the whole thing with Mr. Stark going?" Ned asked on the tail-end of a ramble about how Peter could use the web formula to start his own business and make billions. Peter opened his mouth to explain their current projects, temporarily forgetting that he hadn't actually told Ned he was at the Tower right now.

"Or should I say Iron Daddy now? Was that just a one time thing? Its so weird saying that, though. Just get his Iron Rod already so we don't have to keep-"

Peter froze, staring at the phone in movie-comical horror. Across the lab there was a deafening clang and a curse as Tony jerked upright and knocked his head on Butterfinger's mainframe, dropping the diamond laser to the table.

"-Like just go right up to him and say 'I want you to be my Iron Daddy,' like how hard can it be? You could tell him about your old fan account, I bet he'd be flattered. I bet he'd even-"

Peter made a high distressed sound, flailing on the spot. His mind screamed SHUT UP NED SHUTUP HE'SHERERIGHTHERE SHUT UP but his throat wouldn't work to get the words out. On the other bench Tony looked vaguely like the arc reactor had glitched, eyes more white than iris as he gripped at the edge of the table.

Panic rose like a tidal wave and Peter gave a strangled sound, operating on pure fear and horror as he raised his palm and pressed the trigger on the web shooters. The StarkPhone went up in a spectacular display of sparks and flying metal, Ned's voice cutting off abruptly.

Dully, Peter thought huh, it works. As the last pathetic sparks fizzled to the ground Peter turned his head, staring meekly somewhere near Tony's shoulder.

"Sorry. That was... Your phone," he excused lamely, belatedly noting he no longer had his chappy old IPhone but Stark Industries' latest, sleekest model courtesy of Tony.

“Technically it was yours,” Tony replied back rather dazedly, leaning heavily against the bench. An awkward silence fell over them for several seconds, before Tony’s expression twisted.

“Iron Daddy?”

Peter made a sound between a groan and a whine and collapsed against his own bench next to the smoking remains of his phone. “Oh my god. I was a meme. I sent him a meme one time.”

“And my Iron Rod is…?”

“Mr. Stark, I am begging you to stop talking.”

There was a terse pause where Peter awaited morosely to be told to leave; to be dropped outside his apartment again with a bye, c’ya, don’t call. And then -

“Do you?” Tony’s voice sounded... Small. Peter looked up quizzically, brows furrowing as he watched Tony rub at his arm. It was a tic - an emotional tell. “Want me to be your Iron Daddy?”

Peter almost groaned. Might’ve, if the meaning behind the words hadn’t rendered him incapable of anything other than surprise.

“I’d... Always thought it would be more a boyfriend thing,” he admitted. His crush had never been a secret but had always been swept under the rug as idolism and hero worship, never taken seriously. It had only been in his dreams and fantasies that Tony had ever reciprocated the feelings or taken his compliments to heart.

“Hm.” It was a flat response, thoughtful and veiling any true emotion as Tony moved to rub at his jaw, then turned away. “I’ll get you a new phone. FRI has all your data on back-up, so you won’t have lost anything.”

Peter’s heart sank a little and he took the unspoken rejection graciously, lowered his head with a short nod. He willed himself to be mature about it, sweeping away the remains of his old phone into the waste disposal and thanking the older man in a small, fragile voice when he was handed a sleek new device.

Tony had turned it on whilst he brought it over and it cycled through an installation before vibrating in his hand.

[Iron Daddy] I can do boyfriends. [19:21]

Anarchist Syndicate Codenames Analysis

OKAY so this is something I came up with on the fly and I spent about 1-2 hours on it instead of my lit essay lmao. I’m just focusing on the current members of the Anarchist Syndicate and how their Codenames correlate to their characters and what they could mean within context of the DSMP.

Buckle your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a long one.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions!

Techno: Protesilaus

1. A hero in the Iliad who was honored at cult cities in Thessaly (birthplace of Achilles) and Thrace (sired valuable mercenaries and soldiers)

2. Was the first to die in the Trojan war

An oracle prophesied that the first Greek to walk on land after arriving by ship would be the first to die.

After killing four men in the war, Protesilaus was killed by Hector.

3. The Cult of Protesilaus

A shrine in his honor

Organized games in his honor

Tomb was visited by Alexander the Great

4. Possibly distantly related to Heracles

Unclear

Protesilaus’ father was Iphicles: a half brother to Heracles

Analysis:

Techno is a well-rounded soldier/fighter and often utilizes his catchphrase “Technoblade Never Dies”; so it is ironic that he would choose Protesilaus as a codename, even though he was the first death in the Trojan war. Given he was a talented soldier and killed many before his death from Hector, Protesilaus died in conflict, but his legacy lived on. The Cult of Protesilaus could be a subtle reference to the Anarchist Syndicate that he created with Phil, or a coincidence.

Techno’s codename could be foreshadowing his fate within the SMP in future conflicts. If this is the case, Dream could possibly represent Hector, and take his final canon life/lives.

Phil: Zephyrus

1. God of the West Wind

Known as the gentlest of winds

Messenger of spring

2. Reported to have many wives

Husband to Iris (goddess of the rainbow)

Abducted the Goddess Chloris, and fathered Karpos

Karpos was known for his beauty, also a living metaphor of the coming of spring and bearing fruit

Was said to be the father of Achilles’ horses (with one of the Harpes from the Iliad-- a seer)

Analysis:

Phil is canonically depicted with wings, as is Zephyrus, so it is a cute little character detail. Interestingly, Zephyrus is the “gentlest of winds” and “the coming of spring”, which is ironic to Phil’s character who insights chaos (see Doomsday and interest in anarchism). It seems odd to me that a character who shows rather unpredictable qualities would choose a name that is synonymous with rebirth/new beginnings and peace. But he does want to revive Wilbur, bringing about a new beginning for him.

What I think is particularly interesting is we can analyze from the familial ties. Zephyrus married Iris, goddess of the rainbow, which could very well represent Mumza (Kristen) AW. Zephyrus’ son, Karpos represents the coming of spring and bearing fruit; which in the DSMP lore could be connected to Wilbur. Wilbur’s one passion, bringing up L’Manburg could very well be a reference to this fruit. [Also, within the myth, Karpos’ mother Chloris could be the Samsung Fridge we all know and love.]

Ranboo: Lethe

1. One of the rivers of the underworld of Hades

Flows around the cave of Hypnos (meaning sleep, or hypnosis)

Those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness

Lethe was also the name of the Greek spirit of forgetfulness and oblivion

2. Some ancient Greeks believed that souls were required to drink from the river before being reincarnated, so they would not remember their past lives.

There is another river, Mnemosyne, which is the river of remembrance. (causing the opposite effect of Lethe)

Souls are given a choice to drink from either river, and if they choose Mnemosyne, they become all-knowing and akin to gods. But they are not reincarnated.

Analysis:

Now here is where this stuff gets interesting. Ranboo’s character is notorious for his memory deficiency, which is a direct call to his codename, meaning “forgetfulness”. He states that the cause of his memory loss was due to a traumatic incident-- Ranboo doesn’t remember his family, where he comes from (etc). In popular myth, souls must drink water from the river Lethe to forget their past lives if they choose to be reincarnated. My theory is that Ranboo died before joining the SMP plot, and most likely consented to his memory loss to be brought back to life; likely an offer from Dream. Rather than moving on to the afterlife (“drinking from Mnemosyne”), he chose to be someone’s attempt at revival. Knowing that there is a river that brings about the adverse effects of Lethe, we can theorize that there is some hope to recover Ranboo’s memory.

Now that person who revived Ranboo could be Dream, Schlatt or Foolish. Dream, because he wants to bring Wilbur back and is keen to experiment, Schlatt, because of his knowledge and curiosity of the revivebook, and Foolish because he is known to be a god of death.

Ranboo’s enderwalk state can also be tied to the word “oblivion”, which means he is unconscious or unaware of what is happening, even though he may retain information from those events. Dream is likely in control of when Ranboo enderwalks, or they can see through each other’s eyes in those periods. (See when he visited Dream’s hideout, and recalled his Attachments speech. See also Ranboo’s prison hallucination, despite never actually visiting)

Niki: Unknown/TBD

Potential names I think are cool:

1. Rhamnousia/Nemesis

Goddess of revenge, or those who succumb to hubris

Niki seeks revenge on those who did her wrong... Specifically Tommy

2. Persephone

Queen of the underworld

Lover of Hades, and chose to live with him

Niki chose to join the syndicate of her own accord, and feels wanted and appreciated there

I believe that Niki has an important role to play within the Syndicate, and we shouldn’t underestimate her ability. This is a setting that is very appealing and redeeming for her character. and Niki has also voiced her opinions on revenge and being spoken over in the past-- so it would be satisfying to choose a codename that resonates with those values.

Unknown: Harpocrates

1. God of silence, secrets and confidentiality

2. Adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian god Horus the Child

Who represented the rising sun

3. Father was Osiris, the original divine pharaoh of Egypt

4. Culturally represented by roses

Often found painted on borders of ceilings of rooms intended for the receiving of guests.

A sign that topics discussed within the room are not to be shared or repeated outside the room

Roses symbolize confidentiality

5. Could also represent childhood, or childish joy,

Statues of Horus are described with a finger held to the mouth (egyptian symbol for child, Greco-Roman symbol for silence)

My personal candidates: (in order from most to least likely)

Karl-- association with the Inbetween and the wither roses, events in the Inbetween are not to be mentioned to anyone. Karl is known to keep secrets (his secret library and time-travel powers)

Connor-- Knows Karl’s “secret” (possibly his time-traveling abilities-- not confirmed), and Tommy first confided in Connor with his “secret” that Dream revived him

Foolish-- His summer home is literally the depiction of ancient Egypt. He has also stated that he is a totem god, or god of death and new beginnings, akin to that of the rising sun.

Hannah-- not likely, Techno referred to Harpocrates as a “he”, but she is strongly associated with roses. Is currently tied with Egg lore, and Techno does not want anyone with ties to the Egg.

Callahan-- a silent character. Could possibly know more secrets about SMP members due to his often appearance. No current lore to show any motives

Quackity-- unlikely, due to his capitalism arc and lore coming soon, but he could utilize secrets and confidential information to his benefit… as a sort of “payment”

Fundy-- very unlikely, however fundy is known to be sort of childish. His father was Wilbur, the creator/original ruler of L’Manburg (See Osiris)

Harpocrates could also be a new addition to the SMP as well.

Flamebird (Unclaimed!Son!Reader x Clark Kent)

Requested by @3rd-son-of-sparda for 26 - Clark Kent x Adopted Demigod Son! Reader where Superman rescues a boy from being killed by a monster and basically adopts him, and he becomes Superman’s sidekick.

Clark was doing his thing around Metropolis one afternoon.

It was basically a normal day, except for the three headed monster attacking the city.

Well, not really the city.

Clark sees immediately that the goat-headed/lion-headed/snake-headed creature is honing in on a young boy, who is apparently the only other person who can see it.

Much to his astonishment, the boy takes off flying away, and Clark quickly subdues it with his heat vision, turning to find the kid, who’s trembling and hiding on top of a tall building.

“Hey, buddy. You okay? The monster’s gone.”

The kid is shivering, and immediately hops into Clark’s arms when he goes in to pick him up.

“Where’s your ma and pa, kiddo?” Clark asks softly, voice reverting to his Midwestern roots.

The boy starts crying, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there’s no family to speak of.

“What’s your name, son?”

“...Y/N.”

“Alright. I’m gonna take care of you, Y/N. Okay?:

It isn’t totally without reason. With powers like yours, there are going to be people who want to take advantage of you. Clark won’t let that happen.

He immediately flies you to Smallville, and he talks to Ma Kent while his Pa puts on a football game and tries to gauge your knowledge of the sport.

“Ma, I can’t send him to an orphanage.”

“Then don’t.”

“But-”

“Sweetie, you’re Superman. I really don’t think you’ll have much trouble taking care of a child. Besides, your Pa and I will be here if you need help. Heaven knows, I’ve been waiting for grandbabies.”

So you become Y/N Kent, and Clark introduces you as his nephew, whose parents just passed. Perry allows him to bring you into work if he needs to, and you quickly become the darling of the Daily Planet.

Even Lois stops her whirlwind of journalism long enough to remark that “Smallville brought in a cute kid.”

You get your own pair of glasses, and Clark teaches you how to obscure your appearance by slouching a little and speaking differently.

Having Clark as your guardian is a pretty good life. Although you can’t get away with anything, as he can see literally everything.

He’ll help you learn and navigate your powers, which generally consist mainly of flight, and minor bursts of super speed, and the ability to throw orbs of energy that can disable enemies momentarily.

Later Diana will say that it is obvious you are a demigod, but your parentage is unknown. You could be the child of Zeus, or one of the Winds, or even minor wind spirits or cloud nymphs, or Hecate, or Hermes, or Iris. As long as you go unclaimed, the mystery will be unsolved

He’s apprehensive about letting you go on heroing with him, and is Super-protective. (See what I did there?) He’ll also insist that you finish schoolwork before crimefighting.

He’ll help you fight off monsters, although things get easier when Diana gifts you a javelin tipped with Celestial bronze and a strong alloy to use against mortal and immortal threats.

Ma Kent designs you a costume, this time focusing on red and yellow, with blue accents, to make you distinct from Superman.

They call you Flamebird, after an old Kryptonian legend.

Clark programs your DNA into the Fortress of Solitude so you can use it too.

When you call him Dad for the first time, he is overjoyed. He’s refrained from calling you Son for the time being, but immediately uses the term with glee, hugging you.

Clark never forgets birthdays, is always there for school events, and tolerates nothing harming his son in any way, be it physical or emotional. He’ll insist on speaking to the parents of any bullies you may encounter, and the anger in him is so palpable that it intimidates them into submission. Clark can be pretty scary when he wants to be.

If your godly parent does show up, whether to try to send you on a quest or take you to Camp Half-Blood, Clark will chew them out for abandoning you and insist that you can at least count on him to be there for you. Although, if you do want to go to camp, he’ll support you.

Once Clark joins the League, you grow pretty close with Batman’s sidekicks. And Conner automatically receives your approval, which goes a long way into getting Clark to connect with him.

Kara likes you a lot, although it kind of bugs her that her baby cousin is already taking care of a kid when she’s technically supposed to be taking care of him.

Ma and Pa Kent adore you, and love getting to babysit you or having you over to visit. Of course you come along on Clark’s weekly visit to his parents. Martha always likes to have a pie ready for you two.

Lois kicks herself when she finds out your identities. But she loves you just as much as Clark does. She insists you don’t have to call her Mom if you don’t want to. But if you do, she’ll start crying while insisting that she just has something in both her eyes.

And when Jon comes along, you are the best big brother he could ask for.

Basically, being Clark’s son means unconditional love and protection, and a stability and safety that many other demigods only dream of.

SUPERCORP FANFIC

"Oh Rao, oh Rao.", Kara mumbled repeatedly as she paced back and forth.

"Kara, slow down. There's no need to be nervous.", Alex chuckled. "Besides, you're gonna crease your dress."

"I'm getting married in less than an hour, Alex, how the hell am I supposed to slow down?", the blonde shrieked, about to run her hand through her hair when she remembered that this had just been freshly styled so instead she went to chew on her nail.

"Yes and it's gonna be great. All you have to do is look pretty, say your vows and don't forget to say "I do" at the end."

"But what if I don't remember my vows? What if I fall into a shocked trance or something? If-"

"Kara, this is too important for you to forget. Don't worry."

Kara looked at her doubtedly. "I forgot my speech when I proposed to her. I just started rambling. It's a miracle she even said yes."

"But she did, didn't she? Because apparently you found the right words to say after all. Even if you make them up on the spot... just speak from your heart, Kara, that's the best thing you can do.", Alex said.

Kara took a deep breath. "You're right."

"Of course I'm right. I'm the big sister and the maid of honor."

Kara laughed lightly. "Yeah. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Probably freak out completely."

"True.", she chuckled.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Seriously, what was I thinking? This doesn't make any sense! Kara should be the one walking down the aisle. She's the one with eyesight! I'm gonna make a fool out of myself! I'll trip or worse, I'll fall face first on the ground! This is insane!", Lena exclaimed panic-stricken, hands on her temples.

The woman in front of her raised her eyebrows in amusement. "Lena, you have to calm down. Everything's going to be just fine. You're going to do just fine."

"I don't know, Sam, I shouldn't-"

Sam stepped closer, placing her hands on her best friend's shoulders. "Hey, look, as your maid of honor who has the privilege of walking you down the aisle, I swear on Ruby's life that I won't let you fall, alright? And even if I should miraculously not be able to prevent you from tripping and falling... there's a whole crowd of superheroes out there, isn't there? I'm sure one of them will have mercy on you and catch you. If it's not Kara herself. Or your superdog here", Sam said with a chuckle and Krypto who had peaceful been laying a few feet away raised his head curtly to bark happily. Sam and Lena both laughed a little. Sam squeezed Lena's shoulders. "So just take a deep breath."

Lena complied and nodded. She smiled a little. "Thank you."

"Anytime.", Sam grinned. "Now come on, we still have to finish your hair."

Lena nodded again and let the other woman guide her away to style her hair.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kara stood nervously at the front, eyes glued on the path which Lena would be walking down on any minute now. They were having their wedding outside as they both weren't connected to the church too much - Lena because she wasn't baptised and Kara because her god was Rao.

Kara's heart was beating rapidly against her chest as her eyes scanned the crowd - so many different kind of people.

There were the obvious ones - her friends and family, going from J'onn, Kelly, Nia and Brainy to Eliza, Clark, Lois and their boys. Ruby was seated next to Kelly, not really knowing anyone as Alex stood at the front next to Kara since she was maid of honor and Sam would be walking Lena down the aisle as well as staying there. Since she was her maid of honor.

Even Alura and a few close friends from Krypton had made their way to Earth for this.

There were the other heroes and their accompanies - Barry, Iris, Cisco and Co, Felicity and Mia, the Legends, even Kate.

And so many more. So many people in front of which she could possibly embarrass herself.

She closed her eyes, trying her hardest to control her breathing.

Her eyes quickly shot open when she heard the music starting to play.

She held her breath and only released it when she saw Lena appear at the end of the path. All the tension seemed to fall from her body just as it had when she had heard her agreeing to marry her.

She felt a soft smile spread across her lips as she watched Lena walk towards her, arm tightly secured around Sam's.

Krypto walked a few feet behind them, head held high and excitedly wagging his tail. He carried a small pillow between his teeth on which the rings were placed. Making him probably one of the most adorable ring bearer's of all time.

Lena seemed to relax as well when her hands finally glid into Kara's and she was gently pulled in front of her.

Sam took her place at the side.

Kara couldn't help but stare at Lena, a goofy but dreamy grin on her face - her beauty really was beyond compare.

She unconsciously rubbed over the back of Lena's hands with her thumbs, making the brunette smile.

Neither of them really took notice of what was being said. They were totally lost in each other.

Kara just barely recognized her cue for saying her vows.

She cleared her throat and giggled nervously. But one look into Lena's face calmed her again. She concentrated fully on her.

"There are a lot of things I love about you. One of the things I love most though is that you are inherently good. I knew that from the moment I met you. It wasn't a hunch, I just knew. You... you basically radiated light and optimism and you still do. Despite everything you went through and despite the world trying to bring you down so many times, you... you never give up. You always get back up again and you're ready to prove yourself once more, no matter if people will believe you or not. I admire that about you. I really do and... and you transfer that onto me. You give me hope and faith. I know... I know there's times where you doubt yourself. Seriously doubt yourself but I promise I will always be there by your side to remind you of what you already know deep down. To build you back up again and to give you strength. Just like you give me strength. You make me so strong, Lena, you... You're my yellow sunlight."

She could see the tears glistening in the Luthor's eyes. She wore sappy smile on her lips as well as blushed cheeks.

"Well, it's gonna be hard to compete with that.", Lena exclaimed with a chuckle.

Kara laughed quietly and she heard a few sympathetic laughs from the crowd as well.

She took a shaky breath.

"It's not a secret that... it's hard for me to trust people. I've been betrayed many times over the years and it... it stuck with me. It made me do things I'm not proud of and things I regret doing. But... the best thing I could have possibly done was let you in. It was impossible not to let you in - with your kindness, your warmth... your incredibly goofiness.", Lena smiled. Kara blushed and chuckled. "So when I thought you betrayed me, I lost it. I... I was so used to being betrayed for selfish reasons, that I didn't realise someone might lie to me to protect me. It wasn't something I deemed possible. But it is. You... you stood by me in times where no one else did. Saved me when I thought all was lost. The truth is I only get back up because I know you'll be there to have my back. To catch me in case I fall again. You always did. Especially now. I... I may have lost my eyesight but it feels like I can see more clearly than ever before. Because you're there to guide me through. You... You're my light in the dark."

Arrowverse: My 25 Favorite Fan-Ships

After doing my favorite Canon-Ships, here are my favorite Non-Canon-Ships of the Arrowverse. Like always . This is my blog, this is my list, it is in no way objective, everyone is entiled to their own opinion, so please don’t reblog or answer just to tell me how much you disagree with me. You can’t quantify love, well except with stupid lists like this, just because a ship is not on this list does not mean I don’t like it - except when it does - so…. yeah, here we go

25. Snowbertallen (Caitlin Snow/Julian Albert/Barry Allen)

Hinted at in: The Flash Season 3

While I don’t really see Caitlin and Barry as a romantic pairing, both of them did work quite well with Julian and in a world where Barry couldn’t save Iris, I actually could see him ending up with those two instead. I always wanted to write a fic about that but never came around to, but this threesome exists in my Arrowmultiverse – read „Multiversity“.

24. Coldwestallen (Leonard Snart/Iris West/Barry Allen)

Hinted at in: The Flash Season 2-3

This is one of my ships, maybe a little bit guilty pleasure, and I can’t really see this happening in canon, but before I decided to bring Eddie back, I was toying with this idea as endgame for my A/B/O-Arrowverse, after all Leonard works very well with both of them, so yeah, I definifly loved this ship.

23. Kalex (Kara Danvers/Lex Luthor)

Hinted at: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Supergirl Season 4-5

I discovered this one for me during „Crisis on Infinite Earths“ and was like … why is this ship not more prominent, I mean after all there where some hints of it before. In any way their chemistry is great and it’s a shame that pretty much everyone has given up or fled the Supergirl-Fandom at this point so no one is going to write anything about them any time soon. But maybe someone will once try a Crisis-AU where they will be found.

22. Karry (Kara Danvers/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: Worlds Finest, Invasion, Duet, Crisis on Infnite Earths, Elseworlds, Crisis on Infinite Earths

I actually prefer them as besties, because they each have an actual True Love in their own universe, but like anyone else, I love them together. They are probably to simelar to work as a couple on the long run, but as female partners for Barry go, Kara is definitfly up there at the top.

21. BloodArrow (Sebastian Blood/Oliver Queen)

Hinted at: Arrow Season 2

I discovered this while working on a Sebastian Blood Oneshot. I reread „Vengance“ and worked their relationship out and remembered how much I always regretted losing Sebastian at this point of his storyline, because those two had a connection. A better one than Laurel and Sebastian actually, and in many ways Oliver was more of an actual Love Interest for Sebastian than Laurel. Not that Ollie would ever go for this, but Sebastian might have. Who knows?

20. Tauriver (Tommy Merlyn/Laurel Lance/Oliver Queen)

Hinted at: Arrow Season 1

Back in Season 1 I shipped this, because I don’t really believe in love triangles between three people that geniunily love each other. So this would have been the obvious solution. If Oliver and Tommy would just haved shared Laurel or touched it other as well, well, that would have been up to them. I think that given it’s Tommy, Oliver might have actually gone full in for this.

19. Timekid (Wally West/Rip Hunter)

Hinted at: Legends of Tomororw Season 3

After I saw Rip and Wally do karaoke and get wasted together I was expecting a load of fics, but somehow this pairings seems to have eluded almost everyone. Maybe because no one really cares about Wally? Or because Rip was in bad standing in the middle of that Season? I don’t know, but for me this was a non-brainer.

18. Saramaya (Sara Lance/Amaya Jiwe)

Hinted at: Legends of Tomorrow Season 2-3

I really don’t know why everyone is going on about Kendra and Sara, when they could be going on about this ship were there is actual tension and actual chemistry there. And Doomworld. Don’t forget Doomworld. Where those two totally did it, you can’t change my mind about that.

17. Toliver (Tommy Merlyn/Oliver Queen)

Hinted at: Arrow Season 1-8

This ship kept coming and going in my mind, because aren’t Oliver and Tommy more like brothers and than like lovers? In the end I saw the potential for a romantic love between them and stettled on it as something that could have been very interesting if done right. I dabbled a little bit with TommyX in that pairing, but why not real Tommy as well?

16. Monwinn (Mon-El/Winn Schott)

Hinted at: Supergirl Season 2-3, It’s a Super Life

To bad Winn came back married to someone that isn’t Mon-El, because this is what should have happened, you know? Of course Kara is Mon-Els One True Love, but he and Winn were always great together, and given Winn is open minded and Daxamites are not hetero normative this was what we would have wanted after losing both of them in the same episode of the show.

15. Kanvers (Kate Kane/Kara Danvers)

Hinted at: Elseworlds, Crisis on Infinite Earths, The one and only Season of Batwoman

I figured out why certain hate groups afflilated with „Supergirl“ hate Kate so much (It took me quite some time to rap my head around this), it’s because Kate is Karas only canonical female love interest and those people just can’t stand that thought. Now sady as gone for good as Batmoore Kanvers was what I would have originally wanted for Kara after it became clear that Mon-El was not coming back to the show. I mean I love Kate, and Kara did flirt back, so why the hell not?

14. Irivarry (Iris West/Oliver Queen/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 1, Invasion, Crisis on Earth-X, Elseworlds

While I stumbled over quite a few fics that include Oliver, Felicity, and Barry, I never really found this one, even though it’s much more obvious to me. After all this was set up way back in the first season of „The Flash“ and especially in Season 5 and a certain part of Season 7 of „Arrow“ I felt that it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for Oliver to visit our favourite Canon-Pairing in Central City and crash on their couch indefinitly which would lead too many interesting things among them this threesome. And yes, again a fic I never got around to write.

13. Atomsteelwavevixen (Ray Palmer/Nate Heywood/Mick Rory/Amaya Jiwe)

Hinted at: Legends of Tomorrow Season 2-3

I prefere Steelatom and Vixenwave as bros, but as a foursome those four rock the libido and the Waverider. Given how much I do ship Atomwave and Vixensteel and that I also do ship Steelwave und Atomvixen that shouldn’t be a surprise, and you should know by now, that I do believe more partners make (fictional) relationships easier instead of more complicated.

12. Captains3 (Sara Lance/Rip Hunter/Leonard Snart)

Hinted at: Legends of Tomorrow Season 1

Given that Sara and Rip, Sara and Leonard, and Leonard and Rip would not last together, my solution to this would be to get together as a threesome. Which was after all my endgame in my biggest Fanfiction-Verse and turned out to be a smashing idea.

11. Eobarry (Eobard Thawne/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 1-6 (so far)

Fanboy Eobard might have come to hate Barry, but a part of him never stopped loving the scarlet speedster as we all know. What kind of love that was may have varied, but this kind was probably among it, and I think that if he would prove to Barry that he could change Barry would always give him a chance, because that’s after all who Barry is.

10. GreenAtom (Oliver Queen/Ray Palmer)

Hinted at: Arrow Season 3-4, Legends of Tomorrow Season 1, Crisis on Infinite Earths

A very underapprecaited ship that I love dearly. Ray und Oliver together have so much potential. I dabbled a little bit with that, but only few other ever did. Ray would basically be a better version of Felicity, having all what the fans love about their dynamic, but none of the issues that come with her. Also Oliver would date another hero, which is always a plus.

9. Elongflash (Ralph Dibny/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 4-6

I frankly never understood why people did not ship them more and there are so little fanfics about those two, I mean it’s a classic love story really. Attraction first, misunderstanding leading to years of silence, meeting again and talking it out, becoming friend and eventually more. I did dabble with it a bit and wish others would have taken to that ship around Season 4 already and not only in the last couple of years.

8. Allenbert (Barry Allen/Julian Albert)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 3

For a long time I thought that that would be the reveal about Julians problem with Barry. Appearantly so did the actors. Or at least they wished it were. Their hate-love was so enjoyable and fans had their fun with this at least but could have had more fun still. Tom mentoned that was ready to come back to the show sometime back, and while I have little hope for that I still want it to happen so that we can get more interaction between them on screen.

7. Winniac-5 (Winn Schott/Brainiac-5)

Hinted at: Supergirl Season 3 and Season 5

I am one out of two persons in the world who ships this, but I ship it hard. I wanted Winn to have love, but after it became clear that the actress who played his Season 2 love interest wasn’t coming back, it probably had also become clear that Jeremy did plan on leaving the show, so the writers didn’t bother anymore, but Brainy crashed so beautifully with him so I picked him for that role. And even though I love Nia and Brainia I love Winniac-5 more.

6. Olivarry (Oliver Queen/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: Arrow Season 2-3, The Flash Season 1, Legends of Yesterday/Today, Invasion, Crisis on Earth-X, Elseworlds, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Arrow Season 7-8

As unlucky as Olivers love life is, maybe that’s the case because the actual love of his life happens to be a man, which he is not willing to admit to himself of course. I mean we all remember the joke about Barry wanting to date Oliver and agree on that probably being true, but Oliver cleary is kind of in love with Barry too. He has been very different with him than most if not all other males in his life so there definitifly is something going on there.

5. Coldflash (Leonard Snart/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 1-3, Legends of Tomorrow Season 1-2, Invasion

Leonard flirts with everything that moves, but Barry has a special place in his heart and we all love that. Leonard ist a player however, and makes sure everyone knows that, but if there is one person out there who he would be willing to change for it would probably be Barry. If only they weren’t mortal frenemies and Leonard wasn’t – you know – dead.

4. Thallen (Eddie Thawne/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 1-3

Barry und Eddie were crushing hard on each other, there is no denying that. They even had a moment onscreen where the tension between them was aknowleged (remember the sofa-scene?). I saw a pretty accurate joke about the Season 1 love triangle once which stated that Iris felt guilty about having feelings for Barry while dating Eddie, while Eddie at the same time was doodeling Eddie Allen in his notebook and that really nails it, doesn’t it?

3. Timecanary (Rip Hunter/Sara Lance)

Hinted at: Legends of Tomororw Season 1-3

Sara has many admirers onscreen and out of all her many suitors Rip is the one I would want to see her ending up with. If he wasn’t dead, that is. Rip kind of had a thing for her from day one on and during Season 2 she seemed to realize that she had feelings for him too, but sadly Season 3 ripped them apart (pardon the pun) in every possible way. But there is still fanfic. I just wish there were more of it with them as the main couple.

2. Atomwave (Ray Palmer/Mick Rory)

Hinted at: Legends of Tomorrow Season 1-5, Crisis on Infinite Earths

This is my Legends-OTP and I am still not over the fact that Ray is out of the show and so is this ship! When Iris und Barry got together on „The Flash“ even my brother was like: „Wait a moment … Barry und Iris are a couple, that means Mick still has a shot to get Ray next season!“ So yeah, no one could deny that their relationship was very prominent in the first two seasons. Sadly it faded in the backround when Ray met Nora Darhk, but in my opinion this would have been the much healthier endgame for him, which is why you find traces of this ship in pretty much all of my Arrowverse Fanfics.

1. Westhallen (Iris West/Eddie Thawne/Barry Allen)

Hinted at: The Flash Season 1-3

This is how you solve a love triangle, that does not need to be one, when all three parties have certain feelings for all the other members of the triangle: Just get them all together. I mean I love Westhawne, I love Thallen, and I love Westallen, but most of all I love Westhallen. Too bad poly is still a taboo in TV, and don’t get me started on the sin of killing of Eddie and never ever bringing him back not even an alternate version of him or something like that, but yeah in my heart those three were happy with each other and when Eddie died both Iris und Barry lost the man they loved. (And sometimes they got him back and other times they never lost him at all).

LIPS: Narrow, often cracked, slightly darker than his usual skin color. COMPLEXION: Grayish purple BLEMISHES: Dark circles SCARS: Lots of scars which he keeps hidden at all times. Two thick, long ones are visible and almost go across his right eye. TATTOOS: No tattoos. HEIGHT: 210cm WEIGHT: Slightly underweight BUILD: Slender but masculine, somewhat toned. FEATURES: Black markings around eyes, and naturally thick, black claws.

USUAL FACE LOOK: Calm, focused, narrowed eyes. USUAL CLOTHING: Full, dignified heavy armor or parts of it combined with a long coat, formal robes, jodhpurs, vests, blouses and high-heeled boots.

PSYCHOLOGY.

FEAR/S: Imprisonment, being held or tied down, physical pain, betrayal. ASPIRATION/S: To be successful, self-sufficient and powerful until the end, to bring as many as possible wrongdoers to justice, to find an heir, and catch people still on the loose who managed to escape his revenge long ago.

POSITIVE TRAITS: He keeps his word, doesn’t leave things unfinished, is a good motivator for slackers, aims for high-quality results in everything, is reasonable and logical.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Insensible towards most of people, logic always comes before his own or other people’s feelings, very straightforward, capable of cruelty if necessary.

TEMPERAMENT: Calm SOUL TYPE/S: Thinker ANIMALS: Gray wolf

VICE HABIT/S: Smoking. He hates it, but it’s the least harmful thing that calms his nerves down, and he’s addicted. He tries to limit it though, and use it only in worst occasions, since he doesn’t want the side effects affecting his health or work. If things get especially grim, he also has full stashes of potent liquor and intravenous sedatives.

FAITH: Science usually comes first, but he’s also spiritual in some way. It’s one of those topics he doesn’t discuss with anyone. Some of his duties include working as a cleric, so it may have something to do with Halone. Or then it doesn’t, and it’s just another job.

GHOSTS?: Has seen them with his own eyes so can’t deny their existence. AFTERLIFE?: He hopes it exists, for reasons. REINCARNATION?: It’s a possibility.

POLITICAL ALIGNMENT: Generally neutral, but on demand would choose the side of underdogs: ignoble, the poor and the sick, minors etc. Wouldn’t show his alignment publicly if it was a threat to himself. Would also pretend to be supporting the oppressor, only trying to sabotage their work at every opportunity. Even I’m not sure would he actually die for anyone else or some common cause. He has fled once to save his own hide and he could do it again. Knows main points of what’s going on and where around the world for the sake of common knowledge, but is only interested in topics that concern himself. Has been a target for racists since arriving to Ishgard as a teenager, so he despises them from the bottom of his heart.

EDUCATION LEVEL: Learned

FAMILY.

FATHER : Not relevant MOTHER : Not relevant SIBLINGS : None that he knows of EXTENDED FAMILY: Iris Ymir (patient and protege) and Arsene Dreadeois (butler)

NAME MEANING/S:

Timur is a Turkic and Mongolic name which literally means iron. In Indonesian, timur translates to east and symbolizes hope by the rising sun.

All members of the Oronir tribe believe themselves to be direct descendants of Azim, the tribe's god of the sun.

Varg is wolf in swedish. Varg was also originally a nickname given by his friends at the Steppe. It was the only thing he kept after starting his new life in Ishgard and severing his ties with his homeland.

Blacksoul was given by his comrades in the army for being so ruthless towards enemies - both the ones on the battlefield and the ones captured.

QUOTES:

“Since you seem to be so worried of my… customers, perhaps I should take you along the next time I interrogate them. You would see with your own eyes what kind of delicate, exquisite and misunderstood individuals they are, when they spit on you, mock their victims and brag about the amount of people they have raped or murdered.”

“Today it happens. Make sure she is out of here before I return tonight. I am no longer even sure which one of them is the worse one.”

“It was a mere procedure. If procedures were considered intimate, I would be close friends with half of Ishgard by now.”

“Do tell me... If you work as much as you claim, how come you are always broke when we meet?”

“Very well. Play something for me. Let us see are you a man of your word.”

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1 : If you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?

A1 : He’s been busy sticking his spoon into so many soups during his life that you could probably make a trilogy of his fooleries feats. The first part would tell about his early life in Azim Steppe and how he was forced to leave from there, the second part about how he found his soulmate and adapted to his new life in Ishgard, and how it all eventually ended up into a shitstorm, and the third one would be the current storyline. No clue about the name, though. The Soulforge would be perfect but too bad it’s taken.

Q2 : What would their soundtrack/score sound like?

A2 : Bloodborne, Dark Souls and Amnesia the Dark Descent OSTs are absolutely the closest ones you could get to Varg. Orchestral, choir, bowed string instruments, both epic and monstrous. Even if there were more peaceful pieces here and there, while listening to them you’d still have that same feeling of dread you used to have while playing the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill games and finding a safe room: you just barely escaped death but can’t stay in the safe haven forever.

Q3 : Why did you start writing this character?

A3 : He’s quite different compared to my Forsaken shadow priestess in WoW, whom I used to RP for... two or three years? Long story short: I wanted something else for a change. I also used to have an old Forsaken death knight, who was a lot more similar to Varg, but he was more evil. He existed pretty much only for occasions when someone needed a true villain for some plot. He was funny however and I always thought it was a pity I didn’t get chances to RP him more often.

Q4 : What first attracted you to this character?

A4 : He’s a mixture of four different OCs of mine, with a bit of his original spice ofc. One of them came into being in, uh, somewhat obscure conditions. Kept seeing him in my dreams when I was a kid, and he became one of my imaginary friends I used to have back then. And not just one of the many, but the closest one. Also generally in entertainment I couldn’t care less about Lukes and Frodos. Villains, tragic heroes and the like are my thing. They’re usually the most multilayered and interesting characters.

Q5 : Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.

A5 : Perfectionism. I’m similar and it sometimes drives me nuts to watch him neglecting himself while trying to achieve perfection. If I could physically talk to him I would go and slap him and be like “EAT. SLEEP. YES THE THING IS GOOD ENOUGH ALREADY. LEAVE IT.”

Q6 : What do you have in common with your muse?

A6 : Well, already kind of answered this one, but wait, there’s more: insomnia, nightmares, PTSD, misanthropy and cynicism come to mind first. And booze. How could I almost forget booze? I believe I know what misery is so I’m good at RPing miserable characters and make them look as authentic as possible. *lols like Alcyone from Magic Knight Rayearth* We both also have a strong sense of justice and nonexistent sympathy for those who use others as stepping stones. Aye I know, sounds a lot like a self-insert character, but it’s not like that. It’s more like... before meeting him/the OCs he’s based on, I used to be quite a scentless and tasteless kid. Similarities and peer support attract. And I’ve also learned from him.

It’s also a lot like me and Lareine. We became friends because we had 95% of the same interests and problems but perhaps that’s why we get along so well and understand each other.

Q7 : How does your muse feel about you?

A7 : He would probably hate and like me at the same time. Or couldn’t decide. We both like peace and quiet, doing our job well is fundamental and our basic values are pretty much the same. We would get along well if we worked in the same place. However, unlike him, I have some horrid procrastination seasons, crippling self-esteem issues, tend to put other people’s needs and opinions above my own and keep stressing about things for 7 billion souls instead of just myself. I’m suspicious of pretty much everything else except Lareine and our plushie crow Agatha, except that Agatha creeps me out sometimes as well when she takes out a knife and sits next to my bed at night, staring at me, can’t watch Hachiko without bawling my eyes out during the entire movie, love puppies and kittens and danger noodles and I’m addicted to video games. Very likely he’d kick me out as well.

Q8 : What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?

A8 : Varg would never admit it to himself, but I think he gets best along with people who are a bit silly in some way, and who get on his nerves by being too carefree and doing stupid things. Lareine and Iris, when they’re behaving. Arsene, who’s kind at everyone. Currently Shaura is my favorite. Varg himself is so uptight people like them help breaking his gray routines. Also a bonus: he doesn’t see them as a threat, so that’s probably the closest he’s able to get to relaxing among other people.

Q9 : What gives you inspiration to write your muse?

A9 : I’m a fan of my own characters. It doesn’t feel like I would’ve created them. I saw them with my third eye or something and I’ve just written for others to read what I’ve seen. I don’t plan RPs beforehand. I just let the hound loose and let him do whatever he wants. So far I haven’t got tired of my characters’ antics and could just write more. The only obstacles are limited hours per day, necessary evils like eating and sleeping, procrastination, trying to sort out my life, and the damn FFXIV. SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE IT OUT OF MY HANDS.

Q10 : How long did this take you to complete?

A10 : Ehh, maybe 4-5 hours.

Faded

While I’ve been writing fanfics for years, this is my first crack into the westallen fandom. This was written before 6x01 aired but I think stays true to Barry and Iris’s character and is my own interpretation of their grieving process after Nora’s loss. Most chapters to come on my fanfic account!

Soft sobs.

The only thing he could hear.

She sat curled against the dark tile, sobs growing in every breathe, quicker and quicker still, until her face was caked in tears.

He stood motionless, despite calls deep within his subconscious. He wanted nothing more than to lunge for the button beside him, to apologize, to hold her for as long as he could before she was...

And just then, the sobbing stopped. The distressed girl began to fade into the rigid wall behind her, breaking into pieces as if she were made of porcelain, filling the glass cage that held her. The brightness of the cage grew as the pieces spread, brighter and brighter. Body stiff, his mind screamed towards the light, begging it to stop, telling it he was sorry.

Suddenly, the brightness switched into darkness, darkness that grew small speckled spots and a faded streak in the shape of window panes.

He had regained mobility and his coarse hands immediately ran to his face, which was coated in a healthy layer of sweat. If it was not for everything else his brain was focused on, he would have commented on how ironic it was to have sweat so heavily laying still in bed when he had run several hundred miles at a time without so much as a bead.

Instead, his mind kept playing through the images he had just seen over and over again at hyper-speed. He did not need to fall back asleep for them to reenter in total clarity. He did not know how long he laid there, the sounds of sobs making his head ache, until his thoughts caught with a gentle touch to his forearm.

He looked down to see his wife's concerned, albeit wretchedly tired, eyes stuck on him. She did not move to speak.

"I'm alright, go back to sleep."

"Sleep". She riffed with jocular illusion.

Her dry sarcasm shook him out of his own heart, he turned towards her, now pleading her to speak.

"I keep expecting..." she bit her lip as it began to quiver "to suddenly forget... and I'm terrified. Because as painful as it is to live with what happened... I don't know what I would do if all we had of her was a - a book."

Suddenly Barry felt mute once again. He knew he didn't forget, his speed and his connection to the timeless void of the speed force kept him from that. It was the only reason he had started to lose his memories of the past in flashpoint. He was becoming human, with no origin story, no bolt of lighting, no dead parents, he had nothing connecting him to the speed force anymore. He remembered what that felt like, how hopeless he felt trying to cling to a reality that was no longer, how desperate he was that he let Thawne free - again.

What if Iris did forget? Would he be the only one to remember her? With her father's eyes and her mother's smile and her unwavering determination to set things right and leave a legacy all her own?

"You won't forget her. Because I wont forget her, and we'll find a way."

She sighed, gently closing her eyes, as if to squash a bad memory. Barry returned to staring at the ceiling, his eyes fixed.

Iris reached over and began to caress his forearm, until reaching down to grab his hand that laid squarely between them above the covers. His grasp was tighter than expected, more alert. She knew what was keeping him up, most likely, the same thing that had been keeping her. But even in the late night, when his thoughts should have at least been groggy, it was getting his full attention.

"Talk to me." She said softly.

He stared outward, unknowingly, before turning to give her a half hearted smile. "I'm okay, really." Her eyes were as soft as her hands, perhaps it was there dewiness from recent arise or most likely, just the look of someone, the only other person alive who could possibly understand any shred of what he was feeling. "I can't stop thinking about her either."

Iris bite her lip. "We have to take solace in the message she left. And know that we can carry out her legacy."

Barry just nodded softly.

"Barry I know these last few weeks particularly have been ... but she was smart and she knew, regardless, how much you loved her. You were her hero Barry, before she knew you were the flash and after everything that happened."

"She sacrificed herself..." he found himself saying this to a void, unsure if it was even out loud, "for me, so that I could have a future. How - how does a child...?"

Iris's eyes were misty now. But she'd never seen this look on Barry's face before. Maybe it was the lethargy or her coated eyes, but the only look she could register was shame.

"Barry -"

There was so much more he wanted to say but it caught in his throat as the word "hero" rang through his head like a church chime in his wife's demure voice. It was not the first time the title made him uneasy, the wormhole for one, all the death he had caused, the pain to the people he loved.

Nothing felt quite like this though. He didn't just feel unheroic, he felt inhuman. He had a strong desire to disassociate himself from his own body and yet, felt more grounded to it than ever. He was not "The Flash" or the "Masked Fighter of Central City" he was a father who had failed his daughter. He hadn't failed humanity, but he failed his most human role within it, supporting and protecting his child.

And as he looked over at his wife, her understanding eyes, he felt more ashamed than ever.

"I think I'm just gonna take a walk." He said as he began to remove himself from bed.

"Bare it's four in the -"

A whoosh. And he was gone.

He did not return that morning, as Iris readied for the day. She kept her phone close to her but she did not make a call. She kept looking at the front door, but she did not make moves towards it until she was on her way to her office. A small part of her wished for a fire in an abandoned building somewhere, big enough to need help but small and isolated enough no one got hurt, just something that sprung everything into action. The mundane activity she had been doing left too much room for her mind to wander. Through the last 6 months, the girl in her jacket, the man no longer under lock, and the one who has been taking a "walk" since daybreak.

Washing her face, making coffee, slipping on shoes, it all felt too normal. She had lost a child. A child who hadn't even been born, conceived, imagined, but her child all the same. She hadn't raised her... and yet, she had. Whatever she had missed in the first 27 years, without Iris and Barry, she would have never existed. It didn't make any sense to feel the way she did about what had been a total stranger all but 6 months ago. But there was a part of her subconscious that knew this separate, or future, life that would lead to those moments. Carrying her, delivering her, teaching her to walk, to talk, to think. Maybe it was the way Nora called her "mom" with such ease, even in their darker days early on her arrival. She didn't feel as though "mom" was a title for her, as if it were all a game, but the way she spoke it she made her believe it.

Upon returning from grabbing a sweater from her bedroom she heard keys rumbling in her padlock laden front door. A moment later her husband appeared, looking more disheveled than when he had rushed out of bed, his five o'clock shadow glowing against the dim foyer light. The couple made eye contact from the door to the stairs, both opening their mouths for delicate words, when a buzzing erupted from both of their pockets.

One look upon Iris's face and she felt a familiar whoosh of air, a jostling motion and she was suddenly back in front of the monitors of Star Labs.

"Glad I came in early today" Cisco said from a surprisingly far distance from her or any computer system. "Who thought wheely chairs were the right move for this room?"

"Barry it looks like there's a grand theft auto out of the dealership on 57th." Iris tapped along her dashboard in a familiar fashion. "CCPD is still several minutes out."

"Psh do people still think a sports car is faster than the flash just because it's 8 in the morning?" Crisco rang in.

Iris could feel Cisco's attempts at normalcy, his tone gentler then usual amidst his albeit, typical, jokes. She knew he meant well and that's the only reason she didn't punch him in the arm.

"Barry he's headed into the tunnel, if you don't stop him before I'm seeing high change of a massive pileup. Cisco can you turn the traffic lights on the way to the tunnel?" Iris asked.

"On it."

But there did not seem to be a need, as shortly after Cisco manned traffic control, the car veered off the road instead, hopping haphazardly into the mildly populated park that had once been beside him. Barry, who had been preparedly creating a vortex to decelerate the vehicle, had been thrown off course as well. His eyes instead became fixed on the child's playground directly in front of the target.

His vortex creation veered course, cutting tares in grass instead of concrete as Barry tried to keep up with the swerving car. Mere seconds later was the horse-powered car pulled to stop and its driver thrown from the vehicle. It was not deceleration that had been the culprit of the throw, but two red gloves.

"What, you think your life is so much above everyone else's you don't even think about the people you could have killed in the process?! Huh? All for a little joy ride?"

Barry was standing over him now, a man now defenseless and disoriented, his figure getting closer and, seemingly, angrier with every step.

"I wasn't gonna hurt anybody -" the man pleaded at the face of the hero.

"You think you choose whether you get you hurt someone or not?" He was screaming now, his hands finding them to the man's collar, yanking him to his level. Onlookers began to watch from a distance. "No, your reckless behavior is what chooses! You wanted a car that was worth endangering the lives of all these people to get. All of these children -"

"Flash!" A voice rang out from across the park. Barry turned to find Ralph, or rather, elastic man, standing among a crowd of park goers, parents and children among them. "You gonna cuff him or...?"

Ok so my Barry Allen relationship post blew up again, and thanks I guess, so I'm compelled to talk about this more. So here's more analysis on Barry's love interests from the comics that most people tend to forget.

Barry swings from kinda of being a dork/flustered/oblivious about flirting/relationships to being cool as a cucumber, calm, emotionally mature and knows what he wants... So his love interests are all over the place

Zatanna - often flirted with him, they kissed and had wild adventures during one of her shows, Barry was the first one she showed her new outfit too when she was trying to redefine herself, which lead them to make out in the Watchtower, Barry calls her Tanna, and Barry said once that when he looked at her he forgot the face of every girl he met before. They might have been lovers but they both hesitant on starting a full relationship, probably because the writer conveniently remembered Barry was seeing someone else in his personal comic. They need to interact again even if its strictly platonic because it was a fun dynamic

Daphne Dean - was a childhood sweetheart of Barry's and they used to play games as kids with Barry dressed up as the Flash. They were the talk of the town apparently and while they kept in touch, Daphne went on to be a famous actress and Barry headed off to Central City.

They have an on and off relationship, Daphne's PR tries to capitalize on the childhood romance for Daphne's image and she usually goes along with to a certain extent but only till it hits her that 'yeah I'm actually still in love with him' and puts her foot down, Barry usually remains oblivious to all this. Barry helps her out with kidnappers, and old stalker from their childhood, and she helped him out with an issue with Golden Glider. Their flirting ranged from remenicing 'the good old days' to later acknowledging that 'yes I am flirting with you and you are flirting with me' no hesitation

Dinah Lance - Mostly out of the JLA Year One run from Post Crisis. Pre-Crisis they were mostly just teammates, Barry knew her from Black Canary Golden Age comics, and called her pretty bird or bird lady-but then most of her teammates did.

They flirted back and forth in JLA Year One, but Dinah was hesitant to start anything because she didn't want to be like her mother and have an affair with another hero. They kissed before realizing Dinah loves being Black Canary too much and Barry loves being both Flash and Barry, but the romance was still there even though they kept it platonic. I just wish they would interact again because they had a fun friendship.

Meena Dhawan - I wish another writer would pick this character up because I have not liked anything out of the new Flash run, which is a shame bec I want to care about this character. Meena was one of the new speedsters out of the Joshua Williamson's first Flash arc where he tried to do what Manapul did but worse.

She is a scientist who is helps out the people who got caught in the SpeedForce storm and of course Barry gets all heart eyes about it. They offhandedly flirt and then kiss in a spam of two issues where Barry then reveals his identity which is kinda a big deal because his secret identity has always been super important to him in the past, and then Meena is seemingly killed by Godspeed, who callously says that Barry shouldn't even care because they barely knew each other. Meena comes back in a weird way, everyone's weary at first and then it revealed she is working for the bad guys and the last time I checked she is in prison so yeah...

Jessica Cruz - I didn't expect writer to try to go in a romantic direction with these two because they started out with a pretty solid friendship. Jessica is thrown into the superhero world due to the Power Ring and Barry helps her out in fights/control/ talks her down and gets ice cream. So it was like a mentor/student dynamic except not really because they're equal standing characters, kinda going back to when Barry had the same dynamic with Firestorm and Elongated Man.

Jessica saves Barry's life at the cost of her own, but dont worry she's fine! They dance around and then go on a date, and it's kinda cute before plot happens. An alternative reality reveals that they had three kids together, an older daughter named Nora, and twins Jason and Jenny. Nora takes after her father in regards to powers and the twin take after Jessica's powers as well, but their emotions connected to their powers overwhelms them sometimes. The kids are adorable and Barry/Jessica with the kids are even more adorable

Patty Spivot - originally just a friend and coworker, showed up around the late 70s, the time Barry has been married to Iris for awhile. They were just work buddies, and Barry mentioned once about her and a man named Daniel so it's not like she had a secret crush on him. They take turns buying donuts, complain about work, etc. <--And look a completely platonic relationship between a slightly older man and a younger woman with no weird undertones! Then Geoff Johns happens and he implies that Patty and Barry knew eachother when Barry started out at the lab, and that they danced around eachother before Barry and Iris started dating.

Then in New 52, Barry and Patty are dating, and it had it's cute moments but it felt like writers were spinning their wheels because they had to tease out the Barry/Iris relationship, and honestly if your heart isn't in it, you should have just kept it platonic.

Fiona Webb - <---Barry's fiancee and would have his second/third wife. Her real name was Beverly Lewis, and had to be put in witness protection after she learned too much about her former employer. Barry meets her a year after Iris' death when he is moving on with his life, and moving into Utopia Towers as her next door neighbor.

Their first meeting goes like this: Barry thinks about the lonely nights ahead of him and stops midthought when he sees her with a 'yiyiyi'. He says it looks like she walked out of a dream, flusteredly tried to introduce himself but she kinda brushed him off. Fiona acts cold to Barry at first but she eventually warms up to him after he helps her out with the issue of her former employer. They became friends and have a little friend group with their other neighbor Mack Nathan and his son. They dance around eachother a lot, but eventually go on a lot of romantic dates. Barry calls her 'Green Eyes' and she doesn't take any of his bs.

Their relationship is on and off due to Barry's relationship with Z and Daphne and Fiona relationship with the Senator she works for. The Senator is conveniently the new villain that's been targeting the criminals of Central City, so he kidnaps her and Barry has to rescues her. They're together again after that whole fiasco, but have to deal with drama of criminals coming after them because Fiona is still in witness protection and Barry makes enemies as part of CCPD. There was no big proposal scene, Barry casually asks her how she feels about June Weddings and she says why wait and they plan the wedding pretty quick. I think it was stated it was three years after they met?

So they have a quick wedding, Firestorm mentions he's upset that the Justice League wasn't invited but to be fair its all pretty sudden. Barry's friends from work come, Ralph also attends, Mack Nathan etc, Wally tries to sneak in late. Barry is determined not to be late like always so he heads out to the church, almost forgets the ring but has a good laugh about it until surprise!!! Eobard Thawne comes back from being missing for years.

Thawne has Barry chase him all over the world putting people in danger so Barry cant catch up to him, while he does his evil monologue. Fiona is getting extremely frustrated and embarrassed, thinks she's being stood up. Thawne reveals he planning on killing Fiona and Barry freaks out. Just as Fiona walks out the door crying Thawne races to put his hand through her head and Barry stops him by grabbing at his neck. Barry instantly goes over comfort Fiona, not realizing what happened.

Due to the audience of the whole scene he can't reveal he's actually Barry and Fiona is still super upset. Thawne is revealed to be dead, the Flash is put on Trial for murder, Barry Allen is missing/presumed dead, and Fiona has a breakdown due to all this trauma conga line. Barry just wants to take her away with him but with the upcoming Trial he realizes he can never have a normal life again after this.

The trial eventually takes a turn for the worse, Barry's lawyer Cecile tells him to reveal his identity so that the court knows that he was only trying to save his fiancee from the fate of his first wife, but Barry refuses, stating that if he goes to prison then at least Fiona won't be in more danger because of him. Its obvious through this arc that Barry and Fiona still love eachother but both are in a real bad place right now.

And I have to say this was some interesting drama that DC never resolved or followed through with, and just outright ignored, which is a shame because Barry and Fiona was another interesting relationship that fell to the wayside due to poor writing or just a general lack of interest in the Flash's supporting cast

The price (of loyalty), part 4

THE FLASH #65 APRIL 2019 BY JOSHUA WILLIAMSON, JORDI TARRAGONA, RAFA SANDOVAL AND TOMEU MOREY

SYNOPSIS

As The Flash and Batman try to save Gotham Girl from herself (while she destroys Central City), Iris is trapped in the debris, witnessing the whole fight.

At a certain point, Gotham Girl seems to almost die, and together, Barry and Bruce, try to bring her back. When she does, she does not seem to remember anything of what just happened. (Some sort of mind control... perhaps Mr. Mind?).

Before going back to the Batcave, Iris confronts them about continuing bringing innocents to the world of super-heroes (like Wally).

Under Wayne manor, Barry and Bruce discuss in front of Gotham Girl (in a tube, with full uniform, cape included), as she has to be detoxed from whatever that toxin was. Then the two start disagreeing about their mission. Barry realizes that they keep trying to save the ones closer to them, but they are the ones putting them in danger.

Iris leaves Barry to do some soul-searching (but it’s not exactly a break-up).

As an epilogue, we see the near future. Batman and Superman go over the screens full of hero pics. They discuss trying to figure out who started acting weird in the past months, apparently someone has been “turning” heroes. Superman and Batman are keeping this investigation in secret, but Clark mentions Barry, as his CSI expertise could help in the case. Batman doubts.

REVIEW

There are too many things to cover with this issue. Iris reaction to the whole thing felt a bit out of place, but then she calms down and starts being the Iris we love. It is understandable that she would feel angered at the people that sent Wally to Sanctuary. And as much as Williamson tells us Barry and Iris are happy, the couple never reached their silver/bronze age level of harmony. So, good for Iris, she deserves someone better.

The batcave discussion: it seems to me like Barry has gotten darker since Wally’s death. Batman seems used to all the death, but the coming and goings between peak when Barry suggest that more Robin will die, and Bruce says that at least he didn’t forget his partner (technically, Batman forgot about all the Batgirls, and we could add Wally to that list as well, they were teammates). The two heroes are angry. And because they are, in part, guilty, they try to attack each other, but they know it won’t solve their problems. Batman seems pretty calmed though.

With the year of the villain, I haven’t read any previews yet, but all the clues in those dialogues could mean anything. All we know is that it’s a “he” that is “turning” them. Is this mind control? Is this related to the entropy (Justice League)? This cannot be connected to Doctor Manhattan. But is it connected to Heroes in Crisis? Well, I still think that Poison Ivy has the power to do all that, and Gotham Girl too. But some people are pointing at Tim Drake from the future titans. I find that character a bit cliched and I would have preferred he got forgotten by now (it is harder to explain to new readers who he is and why they should care). He is certainly around, so who knows?

Then I thought of Mr. Mind... but he can only control one person at a time (and doesn’t seem to be the case anymore).

I agree a 30% with Didio that heroes shouldn’t be entirely happy... but at the same time, you shouldn’t alienate your readers. And all these deaths have hit fans hard.

As a final note, we are reminded again that Barry is one of the best detectives in the world. It’s a good thing Williamson keeps telling us that, because we wouldn’t know it by reading his stories.

I give this issue a score of 6

Juniper au

N/A: The movie sucks and it was the boring shit I ever saw, however, I´ll admit that it has some interesting concepts, so, I´ll use them better here.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @sailorstar9 @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336

Everyone has their own quirks, Scott, for example, likes to cock, Rogue often is caught seeing the obscure songs that few ever remember and Kitty often loves to talk about dreams, however, one small detail is noticed here, she never mentioned her dreams.

After Jean Grey revealed to be Pheonix and the team is not uneven. No one here shares any love for Jean, but, they all mourn the loss of a teammate. Kitty is thinking about Jean´s dream( Jean was too snob to talk so freely about her dreams with Kitty, yet, she knows what she dreams before going to Shiar)

"Dreams and reality aren´t linked or maybe it is and we can´t understand" Kitty interjected in the silence as the orange glow hits Kitty´s room and there´s only the void in the room. Silence and Kitty. An odd combination.

Suddenly, a ship from out of this world makes their presence know. A technology that allows for fast movement and stealth and the X-men, all the seniors(the juniors are confident the X-men can win) are outside to see what it is.

The ship opens the shuttle and two golden people show up. Cyclops, taking the role of a leader speaks proudly. " We´re the X-men, who are you and what you want with us?"

A woman with golden hair(amazing, Kitty mentally adds, how the gold hue is not consonant, each one has a different type of golden hue) bows elegantly to the X-men.

"Cyclops, we mean no harm, we´re the Zagrons, we humbly ask for your help, the X-men may be our last hope. My name is Katryz, and I have nowhere to go" The woman speaks in a hissed tone. Suddenly, a woman with red hair(Fire. Kitty thought for a moment. So much fire) did give a bow and give more details.

The golden man didn't speak as the non-gold person is speaking. "my name is Venus. The planet of Zagrons is dying. The Inhumans" the name sparkle recognition and disdain by everyone "are sending toxic gas that is killing our population and...please, my family will die" Venus didn´t give more details as she´s crying now.

Kitty saw. Kitty dreams. Kitty spoke and Cyclops is speaking in a more friendly tone now. "We just returned from the space, but, the X-men are nothing if heroes, please, Venus, Katryz, let´s talk, we want to help" his voice has warm.

Kitty notices how they are looking at Kitty with admiration for a moment and Kitty remember her dreams. Dream and reality are two different things.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The planet is gold, yet, Kitty and Cyclops can see how some of the trees(the golden ones) are dying. And Venus explained how this planet was created, their religion and how the Inhuman decides to kill this planet.

Cyclops, Rogue, Gambit, Bobby and Kitty are looking at the devastation location and Venus is explaining how they can help, after all, surviving the confrontation with the Shiar and the Pheonix and to top of all, they even fight the Inhumans and win, sure they can help.

Venus gives the details and how their powers can help, however, the Queen Katryz, ask Kitty to come with her for a moment. "Come here, Miss Pryde, you seem a nice person, a person that enjoys culture"

"Yes, the Shiars mentioned how Pheonix is their goodness. A god of life and destruction" Kitty pipes in as the Queen is guiding her to the sacred liturgy. "Do you workship the Pheonix too?"

"I think you very well we don´t workship the faux god of creation" Katryz replied with a winning smile and Kitty finds out, then again, she dreams, dreams and dream with the infinite. "We workship Zaorva and this is her temple"

Kitty looks at the symbol in front of her. Is alien, new and stranger, yet, Kitty can read the symbol perfectly.

"In the eyes of the mother we´re all equal, the life has many forms, but the essence shall never die. Life is sacred and the mother will take care of life for those who follow her word" Kitty read the word vehemently. "But, Zaorva is an outer god, who she can be ...a she?"

"Good question, Zaorva did prefer female masks, but, we had a record of Zaorva using male masks" The Queen answers pleased.

"Why am I here?" Kitty asked confused. Images of infinite invade her mind.

"Because Miss Pryde you´re here and that´s a wonderful occasion"

_____________________________________________________________________________

Queen Medusa caught a word that Zagrons are trying to revert their mist and Medusa won´t stand for that. Her people will survive no matter what, however, much to her dismay the Herald is here.

"Venus!" Medusa let her hair be alive as there´s no love for Venus as the sentiment is reciprocated. "How dare to enter this castle?"

"I´m here to politely ask for you to stop the mist or ..." she threats and Medusa narrow her eyes at the red hair, the simpleton Herald "You dare to threaten me?! Your god is dead you held no power here"

"Are you sure?" and those 3 words are enough to calm the insane hair and make the royal family lost their bravado.

"It can´t be! You´re bluffing" Medusa hissed for the last time.

"Try me, come on, try me and let´s see if this planet can survive to her presence" Venus smirk as she looks at the big window with satisfaction "remember what Zaorva did here the last time...don´t prove her wrong or she´ll finish the job" the great crater where nothing will ever born, the smell of death is strong and no one dares to touch the crater.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Kitty dreams. Dreams and dreams. Far too lucid, far too real and Kitty can say those dreams are more memories than anything else. The power of creation is far beyond what anyone can even hope to understand.

Kitty is looking at the image of the real Zaorva, no mask, no gender, creating a planet with pink, purple and azure, and suddenly, Kitty smiles as thinking the said planet could use a moon, so, she goes where real Zaorva is and created a moon.

Meanwhile, the Shiar noticed how the planet Kalsor suddenly got a moon and the Phenonix didn´t create the moon, it was a desert planet, nothing there who would be worth her time...SHE created that planet.

Pheonix didn´t create a moon. And IT wouldn´t bother...why there´s a moon now?

___________________________________________________________________________

The X-men are happy their help provide to be useful as the mist finally stop and the environment is slowly reverting to their natural form and Kitty is the only one who is truly happy(not that the others aren´t, but, Kitty shares a connection with this planet. Is in her dreams, is in her mind and Kitty prefers this way)

"We´re so happy with your help, please, before go, let us celebrate the help and X-men the help won´t forget ever" The Queen comments and Cyclops accepts the request have another ally is always good.

However, Cyclops noticed how they treat Kitty in a different. The feast was amazing and everyone was treated well, however, Rogue noticed how the royal family seem to enjoy chat with Kitty, especially, Venus...come again, Venus is not Gold, why is she here?

"Miss Pryde, do you know what´s our best ability?" the Queen inquiries excited.

"Tracking information" Kitty answer easily and Venus nods impressed.

"And, I would like to show you something, " Venus speaks with total respect to Kitty.

"Ok, you can drop the Miss Pryde, Kitty is fine"

________________________________________________________________________

Silver Surfer is not a person who gives into fear easily, is not that the man is emotionless, however, the Herald of Galaticus is not the one to give in to fear that easily.

Today, is a different moment as Silver Silver is feeling fear. Galaticus noticed and as this isn´t interfering with his job won´t ask. "She´s back" the Herald exclaimed muttering as his body stop shivering.

Galaticus look at his Herald. "Who?"

"Zaorva!" The Herald answers honestly.

"I´ve heard tons of stories like that, IT´s cult and followers want to please him and always lie and always end in IT´s belly" Galaticus explained bemused.

"Is the real Zaorva, she´s at Zagrons, created a moon to the planet Iris, the Pheonix sense her presence...and..."Galaticus waits as Silver Surfer concludes the information" she knows IT´s real name...."

Galaticus is speechless for a moment, until, he commands. "I want more information, if this is a hoax, I want all the details, no one, aside outer gods know IT´s real name"

And the Herald goes. Galaticus fears....if Zaorva is back...what this means? __________________________________________________________________________

"So, this was a plot to kidnap Kitty?" Rogue asked angrily. The Queen shakes her head as a mother would. "Of course not, all we want is our god back and she was with you all along, no one wants to kidnap or cause a problem with the X-men. Kitty is our god"

"This makes no sense. Kitty is not Zaorva." Cyclops shouts back and Kitty emerges with Venus. The red-haired woman is wearing a white dress as Kitty is using her uniform.

"Scott, good and bad news, I´m no host of any deity...I´m the deity" Kitty speaks with a bit of hesitation, Rogue would point out how is impossible when Kitty´s eyes go full azure and she created a small dragon.

"What is happening?" someone asked and Kitty is confused as the others.

__________________________________________________________________________

The X-men didn´t leave the planet, not until they figure it out what is happening. Rogue spot Kitty on the temple hovering on the air for a moment then is back to the ground. Kitty is looking at the images of the temple and is giving her back to Rogue.

"Hey, sugah, how are you?" Rogue asked.

"I feel so numb. You know, I think I never talk about my dreams...that´s because I´d not have one. When I close my eyes, all I see is Zaorva, Zaorva creating something, doing her craft, sometimes I ...meddle with her craft, and I know things I shouldn´t know" Kitty now looks at Rogue."But I never thought of myself as a god"

"Well, it happened with Jean and everyone thought she was anything but god, in fact, the word we use for Jean starts with a B" Rogue playfully adds and Kitty smiles at that. Her index finger point to one image in particular. "Rogue, since we´re talking, can you keep a secret?"

"At this point, I´ll believe anything" Rogue replied.

"This deity here is called Nyarlathotep, he´s the destroyer of anything...and, oh god, I can´t believe I´ll confess this, I always have a crush on anything that resembles him" Kitty confessed remembering the Hitcher Galaxy book, once you´re feeling down the best solution is to talk with a friend. "Any character in media who has tied with pharaohs or Ancient Egypt, wears tons and tons of masks or is a being of space that can manipulate civilization for fun...I used to have a crush"

Rogue also read the same book as Kitty and knows that judge a friend for a peculiar taste is not the right way, life is too short and everyone should experiment at least once.

"Well, I´d say, now I understand why you´re always watching the Thundercat" Rogue replied. Then, as the book instructed and is a wise book, she offers comfort to Kitty as she´s passing an odd ordeal. "Is he real?"

"IT, and yes, IT real name is something I learn from experience" she remembers the time she confesses IT´s the real name to Silver Surfer" no one can hear, so, I call him or Nyartortep or IT or Nyarty or You-know-who" Kitty crack a smile from the last one.

"Sugah, tell me you never had a crush on Voldemort"

"Ew no, I never like snakes"

_______________________________________________________________________________

IT finally finished destroying the civilization of Aguar and the planet itself it takes 5. millions of years(to IT time is relative) when his Herald informs about the space commotion. IT is not pleased.

"Speak carefully, as I´m hungry and I can replace my Heralds" IT answers and the Herald gulps.

"A planet created by Mother" a safer codename for Zaorva " is affirming she´s back"

It´s is not pleased with all and is not above to destroy her old planet for such offence.

"She...knows your name" the Herald speaks and IT rolls his eyes, of course, everyone knows his name, but, the Herald continues "your real name" and now IT is intrigued. Is a fake, of course, but, how she knows IT´s name? ________________________________________________________________________

Kitty was given a fancy dress to wear, but, in her words "if I´m Zaorva, then I´ll wear whatever I want" and walks proudly as she refuses to mope, her own humanity was always questioned, so, there´s no reason to cry now.

Venus enters her chambers to inform about the feast. Kitty stops combing her hair, to give her full attention to Venus. "And we´ll give music to finish the banquet" her tone is saccharine and calm.

"Ok, this is after or before you go full Black Pharaoh on us?" Kitty asked and Venus stops smiling. "I know Venus is well, I can feel her..." Kitty narrowing her eyes for a moment "hitting on Rogue and Scott on the south part, in the forest as they are gathering fruits...thank you for not killing Venus, now, tell me, why are you here?"

"Why Am I here?" his voice is deep and the room changes into a hellish dimension, yet, it goes back to normal when Kitty speak his real name. The name was a gift Zaorva give to him. No one but Zaorva and IT can speak perfectly. "Is...is really you?"

"Yes, No, I don´t know. I´m now Kitty Pryde, ok?"

"I...ok, hello, Katzchen"

______________________________________________________________________________

The followers of Chtulu as the master would rise and kill the creation and reward his followers for being faithful to his word, yet, what should be a victory ended up in failure as when Zaorva´s crystal body shatters in the water, a new form rip Squidboy´s form entirely. The hand is human, aside from being huge and for killing Squidboy, but, it shares the same colour of Zaorva.

"Take that motherfucker" Kitty emerges above the water as the corpse of Chtulu is being confused by blue fire and now Squidboy is no more. His followers look at the scene and now Kitty will finish his cult for good.

A full(ish) outline of my ‘Evil WestAllen’ AU or Earth 6. It's kinda long.

------

On Earth 6, 11-year-old Bartholomew Henry Allen awakens to a ruckus downstairs only to go and see his mother encompassed in a whirlwind of electricity and color. He calls out as his parents scream for him to leave. And there he sees, the Yellow Man thrust his hand into his mother’s chest before finding himself down the block from home.

As he makes it back he hears police sirens and screeching tires. He watches his father, stunned and resigned, get put in the back of a police car. He goes inside and sees Mr. West, a family friend, standing over something covered in a blanket.

Something- His mom.

He knows. He knows she’s under the blanket.

And Mr. West turns, sees him, and rushes to move him out of the house. Away from the crime scene. Away from his mother. And wasn’t that what his mother told him last? To leave?

Months later he is living with the Wests, with Joe and Iris, but his father is in jail. His father who did nothing. Who was innocent. But he pleaded guilty. Barry saw him plead guilty. Saw him in a prison jumpsuit, in that courtroom. Saw him look anywhere but at Barry.

And he had tried to help. Barry told them everything. The lightning, the wind, his mother and the Man in Yellow. But no one believed him. No one truely let him finish. They only doubted him. Telling him what he did and did not know.

He couldn’t have seen the crime, all the police officers saw him run from down the street. He wasn’t in the house, he must have ran away when he heard his father attack his mother. There was no way a Man in Yellow stabbed his mother with his hand. It was ridiculous! Except it wasn’t.

And he tried to see his father. Ask him why he lied. Why he wanted to be in jail. Why he would rather be in prison than with his son. But each time he would be stopped. Each time Joe West would force him back. He’d sit him down and tell him he couldn’t see his father. Because he was dangerous. Because he was a criminal. Because he didn’t deserve it.

And Joe, much like every officer and detective, didn’t believe him. He believed his father was a monster and kept Barry from visiting.

Each time he did get closer. Until, finally, he got to his father. Finally, his father laid eyes on Barry. In the months since the crime Barry was looking at his father in the eyes. Yet, his father sat down, picked up the phone and told him to leave.

He shouldn’t be here, he shouldn’t have come, he should just forget about him, his father. And then he got up, and left. He left Barry there, sitting in the plastic chair on the other side of a plastic window in a cold concrete room inside a prison.

At 6 years old Iris Ann West loses her mother. Her mother had been sick for weeks, on and off for years. And one day she wakes up to see her mother gone. Maybe she went out, her father doesn’t seem too bothered. But later that week her father sits her down, and tells her her mother died. And she cries.

But life keeps going and nothing happens. They move some her mother’s things but there’s no funeral. Dead people have a funeral, right? And she asks her teachers, and they say, sometimes people have Wakes or Memoerials.

Her father does neither.

So, at 6, her mother is just gone. And she loves her father. He was a cop, a detective, a hero who fought bad guys. So he couldn’t be wrong.

And then her bestfriend loses everything. And now he lives with them. And then she wonders, a man who she knew, a man who was nothing but good to her was now a murderer. Not just a murderer, but someone who killed his wife. His love. Something, Iris thought, was nothing but evil. And her father agreed. He told her he did it. He put him in jail himself!

But, Barry didn’t. Barry told her what he saw, what really happened and, truly? Really truly? Iris believed Barry.

At 15, she hears her father talking to Barry’s therapist. He was worried, too many fights, too many bloody noses, and broken wrists. She knows she shouldn’t listen. But its Barry. Barry tells her everything, more than the therapist espesially. So she listens, because what if her father tries to send Barry away again? Another “Summer Camp” full of doctors and bodyguards. Another few months of being alone.

She asks, what about a mother figure? Well, he has Iris, but what about a good female role model? Iris almosts gets caught when she snorts at that. Barry had a mother, and he’d never take some replacement. But thats not important. What is, is that her father admits its been hard since her mother left.

Left.

And Iris knew her father, he said it like that for a reason. So one night, when her dad was asleep, she searches the Internet. And thats when she saw it. Her mother. Her mother after 9 years.

Francine West. 39. Mother. Of a Son.

Alive.

Iris yells, and raves and sobs and screams but in the end, he lied. Her father lied to her. A good man who believed in justice and honor lied to her about her mother. But worse, he looks her in the eye, and tells her to not reach out. She left, and she didn’t deserve Iris’ love.

He was right. She didn’t. Neither did he.

At 16, Iris decides to reach out to her brother, not because she cares, but because her mother doesn’t deserve to have a family after leaving Iris’. Later they move back to Central, and Wally slowly joins Iris and Barry’s little bond.

During Prom, Iris goes with a girl covered in piercings and Barry takes an older boy with a record. Francine looks uncomfortable as all hell, and Joe looks one second from getting into a fist fight. Neither of them get home before 1 in the morning, and they do it in a police car.

As collage approaches Barry decides to go to Med School, he’ll take after his father if it kills him. Iris decides to go for law. They leave together, far from Central and there they meet other students from the area. One is Political Science major Lisa Snart, Iris’ PA for her floor. Soon, as things tend to be, they grow close. Lisa tells them about her brother, Leonard, who died young, protecting Lisa from their crooked cop of a father. Of what she saw, of dirty cops and criminals working together. The law wasn’t on their side. Not Barry’s, not Lisa’s and definately not Leonard’s.

They all go back to Central, Barry becoming a surgeon and Iris a lawyer. On that day, December 11, the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explodes, sending chaos through the city. At that time Iris is driving with her father, in a rare moment of happiness. Then the storm starts, and a wave of chaos begins. A car in front of them swerves and in an instance, multiple cars are crashing and flying. Iris and Joe included. As their car stops, Iris realizes she’s stuck. Pinned by the car and varying metal parts inbedded into her body she sees her father take his last breathe. She stays there for hours, barely concious, and stews. Her father, who moments ago was actually having a nice time with her, is dead. Her father who she loved and hated in equal measure. Who, maybe, just maybe was finally reconnecting with her. Who she might have finally forgiven.

Barry is in the hospital when it happens. Moving between emergancies, he stops for a breathe. And the power goes off. The silence lasts a moment before everyone is scrambling to check on patients. Everyone, but Barry. Because he knows something bad has happened.

Later Iris is brought in for surgury and, days later, has yet to wake up. As Barry watches he feels a knot of bitterness and resentment tighten in his chest. They, the hospital staff, tell him to leave. He can’t help. And he watches Wally and Francine cry over his Iris. Francine doesn’t deserve to cry. If nothing else she should be the one in the bed. Iris is worth 100 of Francine.

Iris is out for 7 months. In that time Barry turns back to their, Iris and his, old criminal conntacts. They are small, and few but are in no way insignificant. He builds it, and reaches out. He sees the growing number of freaks and weirdos who can do things they shouldn’t. With that, he makes enemies and allies alike.

One of those is Talia Al Ghul, the run away daughter of the Demon’s Head. He watches her take down mobs of people. He has her come back with information she shouldn’t have. He sees her take down small, powerful criminal organisations. So he makes a deal, he will protect her and she will teach him. She gets shelter, protection, money, connections and he gets to learn how to snap a man’s head between his thighs. She gets a shadow to hide in and he gets a well of toxicology knowledge.

When Iris wakes up, its to a growing criminal organization. Its during a meeting for this that she first shows her power. A bullet flies toward her Barry and as she jumps infront of it her skin turns silver. Flawless and smooth Iris West becomes The Woman of Steel. As the group lies dead at her and Barry’s feet they realize. The game had changed.

Over a year later, the Central City Underworld finally descends into chaos. Whispers of a sadistic doctor, his right hand robot and pet assasin lerking in the shadows spread. It’s like a plague, causing fear and paronoia everywhere you look. Crime Lords getting trigger happy and cops twitching at every noise.

Barry Allen is the leading surgeon in Central and Iris West is a prominant member in many court proceedings. Lisa Snart is campaning for Mayor and Talia Al Ghul is as good as dead to the rest of the world. And its at this time that the Man in Yellow starts showing up.

Slowly it becomes obvious this is the same man. He always happens to arrive in Barry’s radious. Taunting him. And they bite. Every villian and criminal in their way gets struck down. Every lead and every possibility is followed. As this happens Barry is asked by Harrison Wells to join his business. Deciding the labs can be used to find the Man in Yellow, he agrees.

Soon Central City gets a hero. Hot Pursuit, a man who can run at lightning speed, who drives a motorcyle going just as fast. The man seems to have a grudge with Central City’s biggest criminal trio, the Good Doctor, Titanium and Shadow Hunter. Never succeding, he still breathes down their neck.

Despite their bitter resentment, the CCPD is too easy to manipulate. Captain Edward Thawne is a rough man with an agenda against the rising metahuman problem. He hates Hot Pursuit just as much as he does any criminal. This leads to the idenity of the Man in Yellow.

Its Iris who finds out. From his fights with Hot Pursuit and Barry’s memories, Iris finds the pattern. And as she searches S.T.A.R. labs she finds him. Harrison Wells, standing in all his yellow glory, working on a machine Iris knows doesn’t belong. He catches her, and while he can’t kill her, her powers beat his, he does imprison her. He laments he would rather just kill her, everything has already gone wrong.

When Talia finds Iris they learn the truth. Eobard Thawne killed Nora Allen, got stuck in time, and killed Harrison Wells. He blew up the accelerator early, on purpose but everything was wrong. Barry was wrong. Wrong job, wrong powers, wrong life. And now, now Eobard could never leave, and Barry couldn’t fight back. He would just run. Leave.

Barry wouldn’t run. He was tired of running. Wouldn’t leave. He poisoned the man, and Iris mutilated his arm and he still got away. They would never get a chance like that again.

So Iris decided to get rid of him. She hunted down Thawne’s ancestor, Captain Edward Thawne. A good man, but if it would kill Eobard then Titanium would make it quick.

Its during this that Titantium found out Hot Pursuit’s idenity.

Wally.

“Harrison Wells” left them everything. S.T.A.R. labs, millions of dolars and a confession. Henry Allen was let out of Iron Heights. And Hot Pursuit now has partners. Bomba, a woman who could blow up anything she touched. Solarflare, a woman made of fire who could change anything into something completely different. And two very condensading hawk people.

As Lisa becomes Mayor of Central City, politicians from around come and go. One such person is Jennifer ‘Stormy’ Knight, stone faced daughter of Senator Henry Knight and former Wild Child. After an accident, and an attack, Stormy took on the moniker ‘Phantom Lady’ and fights crime in the battle against dirty politicians. An ally of Titanium and future member of Iris’ ‘Furies’.

Barry proposes to Iris in a beautiful club they recently claimed, and murdered the former gang of, with a private show, just them, and they made love on the stage.

They have a small beautiful wedding and honeymoon in France. Of course, the wedding was inturrupted but nothing Titanium and her Good Doctor couldn’t end.

-----

Barry becomes a bendy assassin who uses needles, poison, scalpel, and knowledge of the body to fight. He doesn’t like to back down and is petty when he feels like he’s been insulted.

Iris is a metal tank. She’s sharp, observational, a great detective and an amazing at deception. Silver tongue, y’know? She’s ruthless and protective. She doesn’t trust people easily and usually, she only believes Barry. Also, the only person who can tell Barry what to do, not only that he also always listens (100%).

Decided to add Talia cause no one ever lets her make her own decisions not based on her father or lover. Also added Lisa cause I mean?? Lisa. Also, I’ve recently fallen in love with Phantom Lady sooooo.... bias

Heroes include Wally West as Hot Pursuit, Bette Sans Souci as Bomba, Lily Stien and Valentina Vostok as Solarflare and Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders as Hawkman and Hawkwoman.

This is in reference to lostinthespeedforce ‘s post about Evil WestAllen. So. Feel like I could have done better but...

Barry takes advice from Iris and Cisco to defeat Cold in a whole new way - by being a better thief.

When Barry rushes home to eat something after almost passing out on the job, finding nothing in his cupboards or fridge to help him is the absolute last straw.

[General Audiences] [1,038 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Never Call Me Leo by Crimson1

Leo is what Lewis called Len. Fine when he was a child, but the name roils in his gut to hear as an adult, especially after his father's death and traveling through time. When a man from his father's past uses the name, everything in Len snaps, and it takes Mick and Barry to rein him in and help him heal in the aftermath. For Barry, it seems there might be something more than respect for his nemesis that draws him to Len's defense.

We Cannot Meet Death Better by Crimson1

“Someone else should be here,” Barry said with a frown. “You’re a hero.”

Snart snorted, cocking an eyebrow at Barry as if they were back in 2024, maybe even back in 2014 when everything started. “You expecting a parade for the death of Captain Cold? All things considered with the Justice League, kid, I’m not all that memorable.”

“You are to me.”

Barry wakes up after being stuck in the Speed Force for forty years because of the crisis of 2024 to find that almost everyone he loves is dead. After seeing Iris and Snart, he decides to go back in time to change things. What he doesn't expect is just how differently a life he decides to lead.

The Immaculate Barry Allen by Crimson1

Barry is cursed to lose his powers until he loses his virginity. Sounds like a job for Captain Cold.

AU with everything being the same except no Earth-2 or Zoom, just normal Flash business Barry has been dealing with since the Singularity.

Legends still happened, and Len was found soon after the Oculus explosion adrift in time, and is now ‘on leave’. To pass the time, he’s decided to get back to his roots by robbing a few places.

Barry is not amused. He’s also a virgin. But no one’s supposed to know that. Except that the meta of the week (or witch? Barry doesn’t even know) seems to be able to look right into his soul and see that he’s never had sex. She also thinks it’s funny, apparently, to curse him to lose his powers until he does something about it.

Enter Snart. Which is definitely a very bad (very good?) idea.

Hands-On Stimulation by Crimson1

When Barry runs to the Legends for some time away from the mess he's made of the timeline, an accident robs him of the use of his legs, but a special balm and a volunteer to apply it are all it will take to help him walk again.

Len, who remembers every version of the timeline Barry created thanks to his time in the Oculus, is only too happy to take one for the team, if only to have the chance to touch Barry again, like he had in one of the lost timelines Barry changed.

Neither are being honest, and both want something they don't think they can say.

*Canon-divergent, but more or less in line with this season.*

Ride like Lightning, Crash like Thunder by Crimson1

Barry has finally given up on ever meeting his soulmate. He just wants a night to forget. Saints and Sinners seems like the perfect place and has nothing to do with possibly running into Leonard Snart.

Vertigo by Crimson1

Len didn’t know how he got into these messes with Barry.

Only of course he did. He was the one who chose to go out into the field every time because he didn’t trust Barry to play hero without delving back into his villainous ways. He was the one who’d blackmailed a thief into being a hero in the first place.

Out Cold by Crimson1

Captain Cold's plan for a bit of fun with his nemesis results in more than he bargained for when a head wound from dashing to Flash's rescue leaves him without any memories of who he or The Flash is. As Barry nurses Len back to health, both of them quickly start to hope that he never remembers being Captain Cold as the attraction they feel for each other turns into something more without the pitfalls of being enemies to stand in their way.

AU with everything having happened up to the Season 1 finale, except Eddie shot Eobard instead of himself, killing him, and the singularity didn’t happen.

Timeless by Crimson1

A voice in the Speed Force reaches Barry in his Timeless state to convince him to come home. Barry misses that voice once he’s back in real-time, but he has to set things right and save as many lives as he can.

While that means Iris will be with Eddie instead of him, he can’t mourn her. She’ll always be dear to him, but he wants her to be happy above all, and he has seen every timeline and knows the life and love he will get to have instead. He just needs to keep fighting to finish his calculations in time to defeat Eobard and return to his loved ones for good.

Thankfully, a certain thief brings clarity like no one else can.

AU season 1 with Barry from pre-season 4.1 returning from the Speed Force to the moment he woke up from his original coma.

The Color of Love by Crimson1

Len gave up on love a long time ago. In the aftermath of the Oculus explosion, when an old flame comes back to haunt him, he just wants something normal to distract him from it all. He never expected that two of his favorite things—a heist and the Scarlet Speedster—could end with him drowning in the very emotion he spurned.

OR Rainbow Raider strikes again – Len gets hit with LOVE.

A Model Escort by Crimson1

Barry Allen just got out of a long-term relationship he wants to forget. Lucky for him, his new career in Star City allows him to start over hundreds of miles from his ex. The only problem is...he's lonely and terrible at starting new relationships. He just wishes that part of his life could be easier.

Leonard Snart is an escort for Nick of Time Escort Service. He is especially picky about the clients he takes on, but lately, he's felt like something is missing from his life. He doesn't usually take on regulars looking for companionship more than sex, but the right client might be able to change his mind.

Len is an escort and Barry needs someone to hold him - no powers AU.

Consummating a Marriage of Convenience by RedHead ( @coldtomyflash)

Stuck in Iron Heights, when Len gets told it’s time for his conjugal visit, he can’t help but be surprised because the last he checked, he wasn’t married. But then, Barry Allen always manages to surprise him.

Place Your Hand In Mine

Paring: Loki/Reader

Tags: female reader, Sakaar, set during Thor: Ragnarok, enemies to friends to lovers, angst, fluff, snark.

Summary: After almost not surviving the Battle of New York two years ago, Reader moves to England, falls down a gap in the pavement, and ends up on Sakaar, as the attendant of the Grandmaster. Enter: Loki.

Word Count: 2,206

Current Date: 2018-03-23

To be honest, you expected to die in New York City.

The Invasion of aliens seemed like the biblical end of times to you while in the moment. You were just a secretary working downstairs in the Stark building, but when you had a glowing blue weapon to your face, you thought, this is it. I’m going to die. It wasn’t glamourous, it wasn’t fancy. There was no rise in crescendo of a soundtrack, no hero to save you. When the alien was about to stab you through the heart, it faltered, and fell to the floor. According to the news, that happened across the city, and it was then you broke down.

No less than twenty-four hours later, you handed in your resignation, took the cash bonus, and moved across the world to a small town in England where nobody knew your name, and no crazy out-of-this-world stuff had happened. It was nice. You became a volunteer at the local home for the elderly, worked on community happenings, found peace.

You had gone into London for one day. One day. Iris, the resident nonagenarian wanted you to fetch an heirloom from her great-great-great grandson who lived near Greenwich. But it was on your walk to his apartment – not thirty feet from his doorman! – that you fell into the abyss.

That’s how you ended up on Sakaar.

It’s not like you had a run of good luck ever in your life. You remember the week that you got the job at Stark Industries, and within two days, you finally got the courage to break it off with your abusive ex. You try to tell yourself that after all this bad luck, the good will come.

But while you’re saying that, you’re also wearing strange clothes, eating strange foods, on a strange non-earth planet, and trying to tip-toe around an age-old megalomaniac who makes aliens fight to the death in an arena. You’re not a big fan of the Grandmaster, but, for some reason, instead of making you a slave like the rest who fall through to this wasteland, he’s made you an attendant of his courtiers.

“My lord,” you bow.

In your hand is a tray with the drink you were asked to fetch for the Grandmaster, and with an elegant hand, he takes it from the tray, wordlessly. While you love not sharing words with any of these aliens, it’s become a matter of life and death around the Grandmaster to use your words, and you don’t want to become a puddle upon the floor.

“Is there anything else my lord desires?” You ask.

He spares a glance to you, eyes lazily trailing over your face. He sighs, and says, “I have a new member joining us later today, my dear.” He glances to Topaz, and adds, “I’d rather like it if you could make sure he is outfitted accordingly.”

The last time you aided a new courtier for the Grandmaster, it was a woman with pink skin and purple eyes, and she was draped in chains for one of his parties on his ships. You felt terrible, sending her off to him. Perhaps you’d have to do that again.

“Yes, Grandmaster.” You nod.

Tucking the tray under your arm, you retreat from his private area in the arena. You were a plain human girl, and whenever the courtiers had you in their sights too long, they’d clamour and joke about how much they’d like to have you. You supress a shiver, and go to find another servant, who will have the orders you’re to be given.

It’s when she says this person’s name you still. But, when you ask her to show you the glyphs you’ve learned to read upon her technology, it’s true. There can’t be too many aliens called Loki, after all, the Norse myth is folklore central to Earth itself.

“So, I’m to make sure he’s clean, and to dress him?” You ask. “Is he for…”

She shakes her head, putting her tech away. “No, not this one. The Grandmaster has taken interest in him, like he did in you.” She glances down, and confides, “I heard he spins fantastical tales of places further than you could ever imagine!”

I heard he led an army into New York, and it nearly killed me, you don’t say aloud.

---

Time passes in a strange way that time does here, and you’re soon escorted by guards to where they have been keeping the man. When the door slides to reveal that yes, it is indeed the same person you saw on the news following the attack on New York, you wordlessly take him to the quarters assigned to him to get to work.

But instead of cooperating like any of the other people you’ve prepared before, the man stands at the entrance to the room, with an air of puzzlement surrounding him. “What are you?” he asks, and musing, he adds, “You’re too short to be Kree, or a Krylorian – but you’re not pink, or –,”

“I suppose it’s none of your business,” you snap, breaking your streak of silence, and hastily add, “sir.”

He raises an eyebrow. “That snark. You’re not from Midgard, are you?”

You ignore him and go back to your duties. You’re supposed to have him completely cleaned of otherworld bacteria within an hour, and here he is standing around like a pale ape who doesn’t know what a pressurised-air shower looks like.

“Shower.” You order, pointing to the room in the back, “and then I’ll tell you what you want.”

He does not protest with his words, but, with his actions. He begins to undo his armour, black and green and metal where he stands, dropping it to the floor. If you didn’t know any better, he’s acting entitled to just be the death of you. You avert your eyes when he is only in pants. When the material hits the floor, you do all you can to close your eyes.

“Don’t take long, we’re on a schedule,” you remind him, eyes still shut.

He doesn’t talk back.

When the door locks behind him, you turn to clean up the mess of all his clothes. It’s not too different to what you remember on the news, except, there isn’t a golden horned helmet in sight. You allow your rage for the man to fuel you, and within minutes, it’s all bagged and sent to be cleaned.

“Where are my clothes?” He asks, stepping from the bathroom in all but a towel. He looks at you strangely, as if he expects you to be a bedwarmer, not a servant.

You cross your arms, and reply, “Off to the cleaners.”

“What will I wear?” He asks, crossing his arms. You hope he’s the magic-wielder he’s supposed to be, because there’s almost nothing keeping that towel from falling to the floor without his grasp to support it. “I’ve been kidnapped by a wizard, ambushed by a witch, and now, I’m nearly naked in front of a madwoman who acts as though she is better than me!” He cries out.

You hold your breath. If the Grandmaster hears that your rage has interrupted the hospitality of his name, you’re surely to be fed to the animals, or melted by the stick, or to be sent to the arena to die a bloodied death.

You want none of that. Just to go home.

“I scanned your clothes and created replicas,” you whisper, attempting your best to not cry. “They are in the closet, behind you.”

You turn your back to him and try to think of the things that make you happy. Baby polar bears. New Funko Pops. The crunch of cereal. Smelling old books. But then you realise, those are all things from Earth, and you feel the tears coming. Silently, you let them fall, because, if you can’t stop it, you’d rather ride it out silently and hope he doesn’t hear you crying.

“You said after I showered, you’d tell me – why are you crying?” He asks.

You furiously wipe the tears away, not looking behind. “I’m not – I’m not crying,” you protest with a sob. “I’m just…I’m stuck here in this horrible place!” you moan.

“What is this place?” He asks.

With a sniffle, you reply, “It’s called Sakaar. The Grandmaster says this place is for every lost thing that needs a home…” your voice is but a whisper when you add, “…but I’m not lost.”

There’s a knock at the door, and you hear the guards say something you can’t quite hear. You clear your throat and reply in their native tongue. You glance behind you finally, and blink. You don’t think you made his clothes yellow, your replicas are immaculate in design. But there he is, wearing the colour of sunshine upon his cape.

You wipe your eyes once more and taking a deep breath, open the door. “It’s time for you to meet the Grandmaster, Loki.” You say to him.

He pauses. “I never said my name –,”

You look to the floor, as you reply, “It’s hard to forget the face which nearly killed you.”

---

The next time you see Loki, brother of the Avenger Thor, you’re standing as still as you can be against the wall. There seems to be a meltdown in the Grandmaster’s main building, and with all the aliens swarming to the bay where he keeps his spaceships, you do your best not to be trampled. You see a gap and join the hoard. While you’re following them, yes, you’re trying your best to find a ship to board, but, you’re trying to find him.

Even though he was the guy who orchestrated the war in New York, he’s the only alien on this forsaken planet that you knew before coming here. And, because every time you served the Grandmaster, Loki would look at you, silently watching. You didn’t know if it was because you were on a kind of to do list of ‘who to kill next’, or if he was like a dumb thirteen-year-old wondering how to talk to a crush. Or even if he was just mildly bored and found you half-interesting. You didn’t care, there was a connection, and truth be told, you had little connections with anyone here.

Your feet stood still.

Laying on the floor of the spaceship garage, was Loki, paralysed by one of the Grandmaster’s electric devices. You felt a lump in your throat, and a wave of emotion, and you rushed toward him. One of the gladiators pressed a button, and he stopped writhing.

“Thank you,” he says. Tentatively, you reach out, hands inches from his arm. You lock eyes, and losing your fear, you help him stand. He tries to take off the obedience disc, but his fingers can’t catch it. Without thinking, you help, snapping it off on the first go. “Thank you,” he repeats, voice almost sotto voce.

In a quieter voice, you reply, “you’re welcome.”

The next time you find a moment to talk to him, it’s after you’ve spent the entirety of the battle at Asgard cowering in the back of the Bifrost, holding your head between your knees. You’ve never really learned how to fight beyond putting car keys between your fingers and jabbing the heel of your hand into a mugger’s nose, so it makes sense that you don’t pick up a laser gun and join in the melee. But it isn’t just that which makes you tense. It makes you remember that horrible day where you nearly died two years ago.

But the battle has ended, and you make it back onto the ship just in time before it departs. From the viewing deck, you watch as the planet combusts into stardust.

You feel a presence beside you at the window without looking. It’s him.

“I don’t know much about you,” you say, still watching as Asgard crumbles into fragments. “I spent two years on Earth hating you, and then I spent three weeks around you, and I can’t help but…” you sigh. “You’re not the kind of Shakespeare villain you try to be.”

Loki makes a noise. “What is a Shakespeare?” He asks.

“Not important,” You shake your head. “I have nearly died three times in my life so far, and all of them have been relatively because of you.”

He frowns. “What is this, more accusations?” He huffs.

“– but any other person would be running from you by now,” you tell him. “I’m not running, Loki. I saw how you looked at me on Sakaar, how you’re looking at me now. I’m not an idiot. Tell me I’m not seeing things.” You all but plead.

He looks back to the view outside the ship. It’s then you realise that it’s the planet where he grew up on, became who he was on, decimated before his eyes. “You’re not seeing things,” he says quietly.

You slip your hand into his, interlocking your fingers with his colder ones. “It’s beautiful, though,” you motion to what dust remains of Asgard, smiling sadly.

He rests his head against yours, and in the reflection of the window, you see a little smile on his face. “Yes,” he agrees. “It is.”
