Helping Yourself
by nirejseki (@robininthelabyrinth)
Not rated, 1k, Wangxian
Summary: Wei Wuxian leaves the Burial Mounds with a brand new power, but the resentful energies have so corroded his mind that he's forgotten - many things. The name of the cultivator in purple, for example. The reason they hate their enemies so much. All he knows is how he feels about them. And there's this one cultivator in white that makes him feel - something else. Wei Wuxian is pretty sure he knows what that something is. Kay's comments: A super interesting AU in which Wei Wuxian returns from his three months in the Burial Mounds unable to remember the people around him while still remembering the feelings he has for them, which leads to some heart-breaking and some fun conclusions! Excerpt: There was only one problem. At first he’d thought the one in white was the one in purple’s friend – they spent an awful lot of time huddled together trying to think of ways to cure him – but eventually it’d been explained to him that they weren’t. In fact, the one in purple said that the one in white had previously hated him. Wei Wuxian didn’t like that. He had no idea why he didn’t like that, but he didn’t. “You’re not allowed to hate me,” he told the one in white, cornering him one day and poking him in the chest. “You’re not. You need to like me. You understand? You can’t dislike me.” The one in white blinked. He had very long eyelashes, and pretty golden irises beneath them. “I don’t dislike Wei Ying,” he said. “Good,” Wei Wuxian said, satisfied.

Happy Fanfic Writers' Appreciation Day 2023! Or as we've been calling it, FFWAD.
I participated again this year in @renegadepublishing's FFWAD challenge, to make and send a book to an author as a gesture of love and appreciation.
Last year, it was the very first bound fic I'd shared publicly. This year, I combined FFWAD with Renegade's Tiny Book Bang event, and sent tiny books to an author! How tin, you ask? A few more pics for scale are coming.
For the Tiny Book Bang, I typeset three fic, and signed up to bind one typeset for someone else. Hilariously, the book I bound for the typesetter AND one of my own typesets were both MDZS fic by the same author, so Nirejseki got a copy of Tigers, a collection of short about "what if what the Nies meant by qi deviation was... turning into a tiger?" typeset by the fantastic @kulapti, and I also snuck in a tiny copy of Good Neighbors, a fic about the Nie clan's relationship with the Fae.
Onwards to pictures!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really loved the chance to riff hard on the tiger theme. Three copies, one for me, one for the typesetter, one for the author. The covers are Duo book cloth in Eruption, some Japanese paper of indeterminate origin (I keep saying that because I have a scrap pack I bought years before I started binding and don't remember what any of it is), and marbled paper from @aetherseer, who is exceedingly generous with her hand-marbled scraps.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The inside is gorgeous too! This is @kulapti's work, and I love the title page SO very much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can see where I'm holding it open here that it's pretty small. But not as tiny as...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This one is JUST LITTLE. Book cloth scraps and chiyogami paper for the cover, and stencilling the spine involved a lot more swearing than usual. I did the cover lettering on both books with a Cricut stencil and paint. Still can't believe the tiny letters turned out on Good Neighbors! Some progress pics to show the scale...

Happy Fanfic Writers' Appreciation Day, Nirejseki! Keep doing what you do!

Nie Huaisang and the Purple Crayon
Nie Huaisang and the Purple Crayon by nirejseki
Mó Dào Zǔ Shī
Length: 2,157 (complete)
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Niè Huáisāng & Niè Míngjué
Author Summary:
Sometimes Nie Mingjue wished that he could just tell someone about Nie Huaisang’s unusual gift, but no one else deserved to know. If they didn’t have the good taste to like Nie Huaisang when he was no one and nobody, pointless and useless, they didn’t deserve the benefits of knowing him now that he could do stuff.
Even if it was weird stuff.
Stuff like his ability to summoning the things he drew into existence.

Ficbinding: An Internal Affair by nirejseki
I had the chance recently to bind this for @robininthelabyrinth recently and I had a lot of fun with it! I'm not very familiar with the fandom and I had a great time getting to know the characters (albeit an AU version of at least one of them) while figuring out how I would design the book.
The marbled paper I found for the endpages (a red/gold chevron that I thought was reminiscent of a lightning bolt pattern) had such straight, even lines that I got the idea to set one stripe of it as an inset band on the cover. I'm pretty happy with that, might do something similar in future book designs!

Ghost Wedding by nirejseki

Ghost Wedding
by nirejseki
G, 4k, wangxian
Summary: It was meant to be the best way out of a bad situation. In other words, Lan Qiren reflected, it had been a stupid idea the entire time, they had known it was a stupid idea, and they’d all collectively decided to charge straight forward into it regardless. And the worst of it was: it had been his idea, too.
Mojo's comments: Oh my lordy this was a hoot, and I adore lan qiren with all my heart.
Excerpt: [Lan Qiren to an angry Jiang Cheng:] "...you should never have been left out of the alliance between the sects; we are the four sects, unified, and if we are to prevent another Wen sect, unified we must remain. As we have wronged you, we should make reparations,” Lan Qiren said, ignoring him. This wasn’t actually about him, except in the way that it was, a little, incidentally. “You feel burdened by the weight of carrying Wei Wuxian’s spirit – so be it! Let that be our means of reparation: we will take him from you.” “Take…take him from me?” Jiang Cheng echoed, staring blankly at him. “But…how? How can such a thing even be possible?” “The same way families have sent off their children for a millennium or more,” Lan Qiren said, and tried not to look at the way Lan Wangji’s eyes had gone as round as saucers. “Marry him out to us in a ghost marriage. We will bear the stain of his crimes and cleanse them through our righteous conduct.” “A – a ghost marriage?” Jiang Cheng asked, though he looked unwillingly intrigued. “To Wei Wuxian? You would impose such a fate on one of your own disciples?” It did not take a genius to guess what would happen next. “I will take upon this duty myself,” Lan Wangji said solemnly. “I will wed Wei Wuxian.”

Second Madame Nie update, by nirejseki
Prompt: I'm still in love with Second madam nie. Anything from her POV, maybe including her favourite person, nie mingjue?
No Loss, by eb4life (24 chapters)
After being forced to remain stuck in his wolf form by Madam Yu, Wei Wuxian conforms to her wishes of making it appear that he's runaway from home by doing just that. When he's God knows how far from home and manages to get captured by the knights of a king he's only heard rumors of, Wei Wuxian expects to be killed or imprisoned as the king's personal attack dog. He doesn't expect to move from "exotic pet" to "closest friend" within only weeks of his stay at the king's side. This story is inspired by Bisclavret.
Explicit:
vintage youth, by sami (3 chapters)
After thirteen years spent believing Wei Wuxian was dead, Lan Wangji isn't going to let a minor detail like Wei Ying is a fugitive from the law come between them.
all the trembling ways, by typefortydeductions (🔒)
"Lan Zhan. I haven’t -- I mean, I’ve kissed people! But I’ve not. Not anything else.”
Wei Ying can’t look up. He can feel how hot his cheeks are. His whole face must be burning. He wishes he’d worn something else, something less obviously wanting.
“Not anything?” Lan Zhan breathes. He sounds -- Wei Ying isn’t quite sure what he sounds, but it isn’t disappointed. He risks a peek upwards, through his eyelashes, like Lan Zhan’s face will be more bearable in the diffuse. Lan Zhan’s mouth is open slightly. Wei Ying shakes his head, and Lan Zhan’s hands come up to his cheeks, tipping his head back up.
“Wei Ying.” he says, softly, and leans in to kiss him. It’s softer this time, but just as deep, his tongue sweeping gently along Wei Ying’s lower lip, coaxing. Showing, Wei Ying realises. Letting him learn. He feels the heat rise again, but it’s different this time, contained, somehow, by Lan Zhan’s firm hands, the warm press of his chest.
“Will you let me show you?” he asks."
//
Lan Zhan teaches Wei Ying how to feel good.
Mature:
At the end of all things, by Entityx (🔒)
Lan Wangji is aware that he is not the only one who is left haunted by constant bloodshed.
Everyone has changed over the course of the Sunshot Campaign. However the one who underwent the most drastic change was undeniable.
It's subtle- he's still friendly and boisterous with members of his sect. But he is not truly open anymore. Gone is the optimistic boy who radiated sincerity with every word. Instead he is replaced with a hollow imitation, with a smile cracked at the edges, and a laugh that is too hollow to fool anyone.
if you could see the man I am, by sami (2nd in a series)
Lan Wangji spent thirteen years believing Wei Wuxian was dead.
Unfinished
Not Rated:
The Devil That You Forgot, by pottedplnt
Wei Ying has always been a smart child, so when he finds himself back on the streets he was taken from, he decides to make the most of it. Even when he's half-starved, severely injured, and just thrown into the worst place he can think of, he'll come back. And god help anyone who gets in the way of his peaceful life.
The worth of a life with no regrets, by SnowdropsAndDreams
It was hopeless. Utterly hopeless.
The night hunt had gone disastrously wrong and Wei Wuxian's tiny pebble of a core isn't enough to save him. But Jiang Cheng will be damned before he watches another sibling die in his arms, especially one that miraculously came back from the dead.
"I'm going to die here, Jiang Cheng. We both know it. But unlike last time, I'm going to make it meaningful."
"I know of a forbidden array that can turn back time."
"Didi, do you want to come with me?"
Or, a time travel fix-it fic where Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng work together as brothers.
Explicit:
The Second Hand Unwinds, by trulywicked (🔒)
Sent back in time without his husband after a night hunt gone wrong, Lan Wangji is determined to ensure that Wei Wuxian’s safety and in the process hopefully mitigate, if not prevent, the war.
Through marriage among other things.
Heart of the Beast, by WaitForTheSnitch
“Wei Ying?” Nie Mingjue prompted him gently. “Where are your parents?”
“They went on a night hunt,” Wei Ying said, a bit evasively.
“Your parents are cultivators?” Da-ge asked in surprise. “Did they leave you here while they hunted? When did they go on their night hunt?”
“Four summers ago,” Wei Ying said a bit uncomfortable.
“Four summers ago,” Nie Mingjue repeated. “What are your parents’ names?”
“My mama is Cangse Sanren and my baba is Wei Changze,” Wei Ying told him, and recognition registered in Nie Mingjue’s eyes.
“Wei Ying,” Nie Mingjue said, sounding a bit regretful, “Your parents aren’t coming back.”
Or, Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang run into Wei Ying while in Yiling and decide to bring him home. And it changes everything.
Mature:
A twist in time, by Souldealertm
Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi got their happy ending, however the pain and loss of the past is still haunting them and many others. The previous generation has messed up horribly and caused the generations to come great pain. Now some of the people from the previous generation have gotten a second chance to fix everything and give their children and grandchildren a better future.
fighting for both of us, by chocosmei
When Wei Wuxian loses control to the Yin Tiger Tally at Nightless City, possibly his last siege of this life, Lan Wangji tries to take the Yiling Laozu to safety by trying to hide him. Without success and finding no other option, he will take the most dangerous risk, trying a method that he doesn’t even know if it’ll work:
An unknown talisman.
In hopes of this being their last chance to surviving, but feeling extremely miserable for resorting to something as dangerous as demonic cultivation, he takes Wei Wuxian’s injured body in his arms, takes his sword “Bichen”, and cuts his own fingers just enough for them to bleed tiny bloody droplets. He takes the talismans written with his and Wei Wuxian’s blood and activates it before anyone can reach them and stop Lan Wangji. The voices of his Shufu, Xiongzhang and elders disperse to complete silence and darkness.

Ancestor
Ancestor by nirejseki
Mó Dào Zǔ Shī
Length: 2,881 (complete)
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Niè Huáisāng & Niè Míngjué
Author Summary:
“Would you believe that I’m a saber spirit?” the ghost asked. “Or maybe an ancestor?”
“No,” Nie Mingjue said. He did not put down the exorcism talisman.
The ghost sighed. “Well, it was worth a shot.”
Before Nie Mingjue could do anything more, the ghost rushed at him – taken aback, Nie Mingjue flinched, and when he opened his eyes again the ghost was gone.
He still pinned the talisman onto the swaddling wrapped around his baby brother, who was grumbling in sleepy dissatisfaction at having been nearly woken up.
He wasn’t taking any chances with his brother’s health.

🏃⚡Coldflash Goodies to Read❄️💎
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ao3 Authors: A_once_and_future_love, Alexis_Tenshi, Anonymous, AriesOfBlue, Avengersincamphalfbloodstardis, Barrylen, Blueelvewithwings, CallMeHopeless, Canthelpmyselves, Captain_Giggles, ColdSerenity, Crestfaller, Crimson1, Crystalblinks, Enina, Exasperatedmoron, Flye, Grimmfairy, ImaKaraTabiHe, Indiepjones46, Lutavero, MissSugarPlum, Mistvalkyrie, Mockingbird_22, Niennavalier, Nirejseki, NoelleAngelFyre, QLaLa, RedHead, Relenafanel, Saruma_aki, Simplicity, StarlightDreamer16, StillNotGinger10, Sugarybowl, Swing Set in December, Thundersnow.
The Seduction of Leonard Snart by saruma_aki {T}
Barry decided that using pick-up lines on one Leonard "What Is A Relationship" "What Is Flirting" Snart was a good way to pass the time.
The Honeypot by StillNotGinger10 {G}
Lisa laughed, a chiming, delicate sound that she’d once needed to practice for hours before it sounded right. “That’s no problem. I’d love to hear about your crush, as long as it isn’t Cisco.” She finished by sending a coy look Cisco’s way and ducking her head. He and Barry shared another look. He was eating up her act hook, line, and sinker. Barry gave an awkward laugh of his own. “Ha no, no. It’s—I’m not—really, I’m not crushing on anyone.” “Only Captain Cold,” Caitlin said before sipping her drink with a smirk still on her lips. Lisa goes to the bar planning on conning The Flash's friend, Cisco. As the night goes on, she learns a lot more than she bargained for.
Shovel Talk by nirejseki {_}
Barry warned him that people might try to give Len the shovel talk, now that Barry had decided to bring his and Len's year-old relationship into the light. Len never said he was going to be nice about letting them.
Chocolate, Roses and New Running Shoes by blueelvewithwings {T}
Barry has a secret admirer that leaves gifts for him to find every single day. The more this goes on, the more Barry falls for whoever is trying to woo him. The closer to Valentine's Day it gets, the more nervous Barry becomes: Will his admirer reveal themselves on that day?
Everybody else is second best by barrylen {T}
Barry couldn't stop sneaking glances at Leo and Ray. Leo had a plan, of course.
Hero Worship by canthelpmyselves {M}
When it appears that Barry may be flirting with one of his hostages, Len's jealousy gets the better of him.
You're A Criminal (As Long As You're Mine) by NoelleAngelFyre {T}
By the third visit, they've officially established a pattern. Following the death of Lewis Snart and his son's incarceration, Barry copes with the feeling of injustice by paying his nemesis a visit behind bars. Before long, a couple random visits has turned into something more. Something much more than either probably expected.
The Thought of You by StillNotGinger10 {G}
Growing up with the words ‘The red leather looks hot. Too bad I'll have to cool him off.’ scrawled across his arm was the most embarrassing thing Barry could think of. Yet that’s what his soulmate’s first thought would be when they finally came face to face. Everyone was born with their soulmate’s first thought when meeting them written somewhere on their body, and Barry’s words were certainly the most embarrassing soul words that he’d ever seen.
I think I love You by Aquafolie, Thundersnow {T}
When struck by a metahuman’s abilities, Barry suddenly, and uncontrollably, can only speak in songs. To save him the embarrassment, everyone agrees that he should be left alone for a while… at least until the effects have worn off. Captain Cold, however, didn’t get the memo. . Or the time when Barry accidentally serenades Len.
Lullabies for Little Criminals by crestfaller {T}
Leonard Snart: Pickpocket Extraordinaire. Robber of ATM’s. Destroyer of the Oculus. Best thief Central City has or will ever see. Then, due to tampering with his own timeline, Rip Hunter informs Len that he’s become a father back in 2016. Now it’s Leonard Snart: Owner of Minivan. Keeper of a fleet of what seems like an ever-expanding amount of toy soldiers. Father to four-year-old son that’s so enamored by the Flash that he can’t decide if it’s not funny or absolutely hysterical. And he has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.
You Are The One And Only by CallMeHopeless {T}
Five times Len gets called 'Lenny' and hates it. One time he actually kind of likes it. Warning: Leonard Snart is in serious danger. He might need a bite guard.
Out Cold by Crimson1 {M}
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.
Love Me by sinplicity {M}
A meta-human with Cupid-like powers whammies Barry to fall in love with the first person he sees. Just his luck it happened to be Captain Cold. (“He hasn’t let go of me for almost an hour,” says Len, focusing his steel on Cisco, who shrinks considerably. “’Cause I love you,” says Barry beside him, his teeth gleaming as he grins. He tries to kiss Len again—god, the seventh time?)
Green tea and cranberry scones by grimmfairy {_}
Another coffee shop AU. Len is waiting in line for his coffee when he witnesses a rude customer get taken down a peg by the owner. A take on "I want to speak with the manager!" "I am the manager."
Seeking Comfort by ColdSerenity {E}
Barry's life is changing as he finally starts college, but he still continues to harbor feelings for Iris. After meeting senior Leonard Snart who is in a similar situation, they begin to use one another for comfort. Unfortunately, things quickly turn very serious for Barry, and he is left to wonder where Len stands in this 'make believe' relationship.
The Frozen Heart of the Sea by Mistvalkyrie {E}
Captain Cold’s idyllic pirate life will get threatened when his cursed frozen heart gets stolen by a mysterious hazel-eyed prisoner during a voyage to raid the legendary and lost city of Atlantis.
Realm of Darkness by Mistvalkyrie {E}
Barry was a young god craving chaos and Leonard was the deadly king of the Underworld seeking peace. A Hades/Persephone AU with powers/Greek Mythology
Tumbling Together by RedHead {M}
When Barry and Len discover that they’ve accidentally become neighbors, they learn to navigate their new living situation amongst misunderstandings and a surprising amount of common ground. AKA the fun-as-it-comes Neighbors!AU which turns into a Pretend Relationship!AU filled with tropes, hijinks, and some vague notion of a plot.
Got A Melancholic Temperament (that's what they said to me) by RedHead {E}
A new meta with a strange ability has public opinion divided on whether she’s a menace or a miracle-worker. The jury’s still out on the matter when the Snart siblings get caught in her crosshairs. Or: Leonard and Lisa end up temporarily de-aged. It’ll wear off, but in the meantime, Team Flash has to figure out what the heck to do with them and how to keep them safe. Inviting them to live at the West house seems like a natural, if terrible, solution.
Commander Cold by Thundersnow {T}
Cisco was sitting in front of the computers with his back to Len, as usual, as Barry hovered around in front of the engineer. Except, right now Barry currently had dark blond hair and was dressed in a blue parka with a version of the cold gun attached to his thigh. The younger man looked over at Len in the doorway and his big eyes went wide. "Are you mocking me, Barry?" Len drawled, raising an eyebrow in question and trying not to laugh at the image of the Flash dressed as a supervillain. The team are surprised to find a time traveller from the future that shares a striking resemblance to one Barry Allen. But… if he is the Flash’s son… then why is he wearing Captain Cold’s gear?
what the future holds by  avengersincamphalfbloodstardis {T}
While Barry is helping out on a mission aboard the Waverider, he and Len are shown a glimpse into their future.
rumor has it by QLaLa {T}
Leonard knew that a surprise visit from Henry Allen’s son was going to open him up to all kinds of unwanted questions from the other denizens of Iron Heights. In hindsight, he should’ve expected some of those questions to come from Henry Allen himself.
Social Call by Captain_Giggles {T}
The Waverider is busted again, leaving the Legends temporarily stranded in another time. Len is not happy. Gideon to the rescue!
Cold Communication by crystalblinks {G}
If there was Len hated more than being called a hero, it was Rip Hunter. Len knew real heroes, ones that had sacrificed so much to help out others. Rip wasn’t a hero, he was selfish. So Len made it his mission to annoy the fuck out of him as long as they were on the Waverider.
Cleaner Cold by AriesOfBlue {T}
“So let me get this straight.” Cisco said, waving a spoon at him from his computer chair. “Snart is your cleaner, has been for a month, and it’s fine?” “Actually, yeah.” Barry shrugged while answering Cisco. His nonchalance would be concerning, except it really was fine. Surprisingly fine. “The place was spotless on the first day. I had no idea my windows could let in so much light.” “A: that’s what windows are supposed to do. B: that’s what cleaners do, make things clean and shiny.” “Clean and Smart.” Cisco rolled his eyes. It was impressive how he put his whole body into it. OR Barry is not a manchild despite what Iris says, Len is a cleaner at Clean and Smart and Barry has a point to prove about Jitters coffee (and Len uses eco friendly cleaning products!)
Of Time Travel and Other Disasters by Enina {M}
Rip Hunter wants to use time travel to save the world. Barry wants to punch him for it.
Barry + Lisa = Best Friends by exasperatedmoron {G}
To everyone in Barry and Lisa's lives, the two were nemesis (or more specifically, a hero and his nemesis's sister). To each other, they were best friends. A pair of superhero/supervillain best friends with a penchant for makeup, dress up and gossiping about their cold-themed villain/brother.
The Prince and the Ice King by Crimson1 {E}
For 200 years, the Emerald Kingdom has sent the dreaded Ice King a sacrifice each Winter Solstice. A corrupt soul is chosen, whether a criminal, a deviant who lusts sinfully, or someone touched by magic. Prince Barry has always loathed this tradition, partly because he lusts in sin himself, dreaming of love with another man instead of a future queen, but he can handle the sacrifices no longer when his best friend, Cisco, is chosen, called a witch for seeing visions. If necessary, Barry will kill the Ice King himself to rescue his friend, but while he hopes for a peaceful resolution, he is not prepared for what he finds in the Frozen Kingdom.
I'll Believe in Anything by Swing Set in December {G}
High school is stressful for Barry Allen. Especially if Leonard Snart insists on carrying your books.
Flight Risk by nirejseki {_}
When Henry Allen is brought into Iron Heights for the first time, Leonard Snart is twenty-two years old, sick of his cellmate, and bored half to death.
Rich Man's World by nirejseki {_}
Everyone knows that money makes the world go round - and Leonard Snart, full-time thief and part-time accountant, is going to personally kill the guy who just inherited STAR Labs if he doesn't sign his goddamn tax returns already.
Spousal Privileges (and other such secrets) by StarlightDreamer16 {T}
“My apologies, Captain Hunter, but that information is–” “Above my clearance level. Yes, Gideon, I am quite aware.” Rip pressed his forehead against the screen for a moment. “If you tell me that one more time, I swear I’ll shut you off.” “You are not authorised to access my main power controls in that way. -- Turns out, whoever created Gideon made some unexpected choices regarding who can and cannot override direct orders from Captain Hunter.
Green is not Len's color. by canthelpmyselves {M}
Len knows his Scarlet Speedster. Intelligent? Yes. Handsome? Undoubtedly. Heroic? Absolutely. Straight? Of cour... um wait! Is that Barry on a date with a guy???
Come on be my baby by lutavero {G}
Earth2!Len is the Mayor of CC who tries to woo Earth2!Barry during political fundraisers to no avail.
Putting Things in Perspective by niennavalier {T}
The one time Leonard Snart didn't mean to steal something, and the five people who witnessed the crime. Or, alternatively: The five people who witness Leonard Snart and Barry Allen finding out they're Soulmates in the middle of the Precinct, and the one person stuck in interrogation trying to pretend none of it had happened.
Face Blind by nirejseki {_}
Barry's just a regular CSI. Totally 100% boring, normal, and standard. Except for the fact that he's dating a supervillain. (Prompt: Barry's just a regular CSI, and he takes his super villain fiance to his high school reunion. Maybe Len scaring the crap outta Woodward?)
Hokey Religions and Ancient Weapons by A_once_and_future_love {T}
May the Speed Force be with you.
I Smell You, Too by CallMeHopeless {T}
Draco is happy with his job as potions master. He likes the day when he gets to teach his students the Amortentia potion best. Trust a handful of Slytherins and Gryffindors make him overthink his choices.
2016 by StillNotGinger10 {G}
“Too bad you can’t call a phone in 2016, Gideon,” Len mused aloud. “Then, you’d be perfect.” “I may not be able to connect to a phone, Mr. Snart, but I can contact anyone with access to the version of my software that resides in that time period,” came Gideon’s even tones over the speakers, making Len straighten up in interest. “Are you telling me,” he asked, “that there is a Gideon in 2016?” Was that possible? Wasn’t the AI an invention of the future? Why didn’t he know about this? Why hadn’t he stolen it yet? He knew about everything worth stealing in his time. “A time traveler brought his version of the Gideon AI interface with him to the early 2000s. Although he is no longer in that time period, the computer program he brought with him remains active in STAR Laboratories in your time.” Len took a moment to process that before speaking. When he did, he drawled, “The Flash has his own Gideon.” Of course, if anyone were to have an AI from the future it would be the do-gooders of Team Flash and not someone like Len, who would actually use it to its full potential. He snorted. “That’s fitting.”
A Friendly Kidnapping by StillNotGinger10 {G}
After Flashpoint, the Time Bureau decides the timeline is safer without The Flash in it. Now, it's up to The Legends to take Barry out of the timeline so that the Bureau can't wipe him from existence while Team Flash finds a solution. Between babysitting and dealing with bureaucrats, The Legends think they have the easier job. How hard could watching a teenaged Barry Allen be anyway?
Sweet Mistakes by ImaKaraTabiHe, Nixie_DeAngel {T}
Working in a chocolate shop around Valentine's Day is insanely exhausting. Luckily Barry has his favorite customer to cheer him up. Or does he...?
Time in a Bottle by indiepjones46  {E}
AU where Barry saves Len's life from the Oculus explosion and they fall in love.
[keep us together] by Anonymous  {M} {T}  {G}
Barry Allen discovers he’s the proud parent of a ten year old, but between work and his responsibilities as the Flash, there’s only so many people he can trust to watch her in his absence. He doesn’t expect Leonard Snart to be one of them and he certainly doesn’t expect more.
Timeless by Crimson1 {E}
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.
You Stole My Heart by Thundersnow {E}
There is a new thief in Central City, someone who can move at extraordinary speeds, and Len can’t help but be intrigued by his new competition . “The name’s Captain Cold. And I’d love to stay and catch up,” Len drawled, stepping away. “But I really have to run. See you around, Kid.” “What? I don’t get a codename?” The speedster muttered and Len noticed a smile on his face. Good. This would be more fun if they were both enjoying the game. “If you want a cool nickname, then you’ve got to earn it, Kid.” Len, knowing he only had another 53 seconds until the ice-like substance around the speedster’s feet became pliable enough for him to break free, turned on his heel and strode out of the building with the diamond necklace in his gloved hand.
Absolute Matchmaker by Crimson1 {M}
Len has been reconnecting with the son he never knew existed ever since Christmas. He doesn’t plan to turn a new leaf but wants to be a good father, the main rule being that Michael stay far away from anything related to Captain Cold. Which would have worked out perfectly if they hadn’t run into Barry Allen. Turns out Barry used to tutor Michael in college and considers him a friend, but the only excuse Len can think of for why he and Barry know each other is that they dated—which on its own would be bad enough, but now Michael is set on getting Barry and Len back together when they were never together in the first place. Meanwhile, a mystery thief is after Michael’s research on absolute zero. The theft might be the perfect excuse to get Len and Barry together, but it also introduces Michael to dangers Len hoped he’d never know firsthand. OR the fake dating, Michael Snart matchmaker AU.
Puns and Plumage: a Tale of a Tail by Alexis_Tenshi {E}
All things considered, Len thinks, getting whammied and ending up sprouting an actual peacock tail isn’t the worst thing that could have happened to him. He’s otherwise fine and everything else seems normal. Though if Mick doesn’t stop laughing at him, Len is going to punch him in the face. And the way Barry is staring at Len is a little odd. Then Barry touches Len’s tail, and oh. Oh.
The Winter Lightning by Mistvalkyrie {E}
A new threat was coming to Central Kingdom and Prince Bartholomew Henry Allen was in need of new alliances to defeat Zoom, so when his most trusted advisors propose an arranged marriage with the coldhearted King Leonard Snart of the Winter Realm he agrees feeling it was his responsibility if he wanted to protect his country and family. Coldflash/Medieval AU with Powers
Cold Reunion by Alexis_Tenshi {E}
After Barry’s mother was killed and father arrested, Barry was placed in an orphanage for metahuman children. Len, another young meta there, befriended him and helped him survive. Once Joe’s application to adopt Barry finally went through, Barry and Len lost contact. But Barry never forgot Len. Years later, Barry became a CSI and Leonard Snart was a powerful mob boss. Barry thought he’d never see Len again, much less become close to him. But then Barry found himself framed for a horrible crime he didn’t commit. Barry didn’t know if Len would remember him, or have any reason to help him. But Barry had no one else to turn to.
Detective Hot (to Trot) by relenafanel {T}
Iris gets a minor crush on Detective Leonard Snart. Joe gets overprotective and points out that the Detective's type is more BARRY than her. Barry's dick emotions take interest.
The Tales of Michael Snart's Kidnappings by Mockingbird_22  {T}
Michael Snart, son of the notorious Leonard Snart AKA Captain Cold, gets kidnapped on five separate occasions by Central City's criminals. It's up to The Flash to save him, but Barry might just end up getting more than he bargained for.
in the tired hands of dusk by sugarybowl {M}
The last thing Barry needs on top of all this drama is a hot dad.
An All Too Jagged Snowflake by RedHead {E}
When Leonard and Barry discover that they're Soulmates, they struggle with the many, many issues this causes. It might be easier without the collective difficulties of the Rogues, a meta-gorilla, and the military, but life has never been simple for either of them.
Dirty Little Secret by CallMeHopeless {T}
Leonard Snart loves the television show Doctor Who. Enough that he goes looking for like-minded people on the internet. He finds one person in particular, that he likes and they e-Mail each other.
A Thief and a Prince by ColdSerenity {M}
A thief makes a deal with the king to care for his son, the only problem... That said prince may have stolen the thief's heart.
Dandelion by ColdSerenity {T}
Len has been in love since he was six with Barry, who has no idea he exists... or does he?
Scars and Sweets by Alexis_Tenshi {M}
Barry didn’t believe the ‘survivors with scars’ support group would help, not really. But he went because his mom wanted him to. If his going made her worry about him less, even a little, then it was worth it. If he made a friend or two that could understand some of what he was going through, that was just an unexpected bonus. In the end, he got much more than he had dared hope for.
Hailstorm by Crimson1 {T}
A freak accident caused by a mysterious speedster in blue ignites an explosion of the speed force and Captain Cold's gun, changing The Flash's nemesis and their perspectives on each other forever.
he's my latest accessory (wanna carry him 'round all over town) by RedHead, Swing Set in December {T}
Having a dual identity has never been so frustrating.
A Model Escort by Crimson1 {M}
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. OR Len is an escort and Barry needs someone to hold him - no powers AU.
"Freeze!" And Other Temperature-Related Puns by flye {G}
The one where Barry and Leonard can't stop pulling cold puns in their banter and before they know it they're full-on flirting with eachother. Who knew the way to a man's heart was cold hard cash puns?
The Dragon Temple by ColdSerenity {M}
Being a Keeper sounds amazing to Barry. You get to care and play with dragons all day. The only risk is if one bonds with you... but he is pretty sure that won't happen. Too bad there is a certain blue-eyed dragon that thinks otherwise.
A/B/O Werewolf Triads by Alexis_Tenshi {E}
Wolves were most content in a triad relationship. The balance between Alpha, Beta, and Omega created mutual happiness for the mated three. But that didn't mean it was easy to find the right people to bond with.
[irresistible] by MissSugarPlum {T}
just to keep me out of trouble
“And you stole his wallet,” Simmons huffs, throwing his hands into the air exasperatedly. “Why am I even surprised?” “I really have no idea,” Len replies absently, drinking in the man’s grinning face in the tiny picture, committing every detail to memory.  Bartholomew Allen. What a name, Len thinks wryly to himself.
so you got relationship goals
“So you had enough time to ask some random hot guy out on a date, but not enough to actually get his name?” “...Yes?” Iris looks equal parts impressed and unimpressed. “What am I going to do with you, Barry Allen,” she mutters.

@tavina-writes asked for arranged marriage fic recs, which turned into...this. Sorry Tav some of these are just very politically plotty but I figured those also fell into your mandate! I was going for a vibe. ANYWAY.
All fics MZDS/the Untamed!
Also under a read more because this got. Long.
CANON DIVERGENCES
marry for love by tuesday (3k, T, complete)
"Nie Huaisang snapped open his fan and covered his face. "Be careful. I'll take advantage.""
50-50 cute and intrigue!
from the other side of sorrow (series) by Sour_Idealist (128k, E, complete)
"Yu Ziyuan cuts off Wei Wuxian's hand. The cultivation world changes."
I couldn't tell you the split on emotional devastation and intrigue on this one because it's all happening all the time.
CANON? I DON'T KNOW HER
The Other Mountain by nirejseki (287k, T, complete)
"Lan Qiren still couldn’t quite bring himself to believe it.
He was married.
He had a wife.
That wife was Wen Ruohan."
I feel like anyone who likes politically plotty fics is already following nirejseki but I also feel like this list would be incomplete if I left off THE arranged marriage fic of all time so.
""You want Wen Ruohan dead," the Patriarch continued idly. "You want his corpse puppets eliminated. You want his halls burned to the ground and his soldiers disemboweled and begging for mercy. Have I about covered it?"
love, in fire and blood by cicer (360k, E, complete)
He gave another knife-edged smile.
"But what will you give me in return?"
"We would be willing to offer quite a bit in return for Wen Ruohan's defeat," Lan Xichen admitted. "But I'm afraid we don't know what an immortal such as yourself desires. Please advise us."
The Patriarch waved at hand at the front of the tent. "I want Second Young Master Lan.""
¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
not too strong by fluffysocks (89k, E, complete)
"He sinks back, closes his eyes again so he doesn’t have to look at all that red silk for a moment. He takes a deep breath.
It’s done. Jiang Cheng is married.
Now he just has to live with it."
Yes this is a Jiang Cheng/Lan Qiren arranged marriage AU. Trust me. Trust me. It's GOOD STUFF.
Restoration by ritualist (85k, M, complete)
"They say he was thrown into Luanzang Gang by the man who killed his parents; they say that he is an immortal cultivator who had been in a deep trance until the Wen sect disturbed his rest and incurred his wrath; they say that he is the fierce corpse of a cultivator who had somehow regained his mind and his spiritual powers. When Lan Wangji sees him for the first time, he understands why people talk.
Meng Yao wants safety. Xue Yang wants vengeance. The Sunshot Campaign wants victory. Yiling Laozu provides, for a price."
I'm a sucker for a nonlinear narrative! I don't want to know what is happening and no spoilers you won't for most of this fic. In a good way.
Give Me A Chance To Fall by brooklinegirl (38k, E, complete)
"Jiang Cheng just blows his breath out and rolls his eyes right back at Wei Wuxian. "Stop being an asshole," he says. "You're lucky this is being set up for you. Do you know how many people would die--literally die--to get the chance to be betrothed to Lan Wangji?"
"Betrothed." Wei Wuxian rolls the word around in his mouth. "It even sounds stupid.""
The classique arranged marriage AU.
JOKES JOKES JOKES
I Started From The Bottom/ And Now I'm Rich by x_los (58k, E, complete)
"Wen Qing traps Wei Wuxian in the Demon Slaughtering Cave, but Wei Wuxian isn’t interested in being the beneficiary of the Wen Remnants’ noble sacrifice. His efforts to free himself accidentally send him back to the beginning of the Sunshot Campaign. Coreless but armed with demonic cultivation, knowledge of the future and his wits, Wei Wuxian takes advantage of this opportunity to come out on top of both the war and its aftermath—before either has a chance to happen—by marrying and swiftly burying the cultivation world’s worst men.
Lan Wangji is confused, hurt, and uncomfortably aroused by Wei Wuxian’s improbably elaborate series of Sect-themed bridal negligees."
I hesitated to include this fic in this section because it does get pretty dark and psychologically heavy but it is also. Hilarious. So!
Best Friends Forever by varnes (17k, T, complete)
"It happened like this: Jin Ling was a sect leader now, which was, and Jingyi really meant this, fucking hilarious. There were few things funnier, in his honest opinion.
Because he was young, and inexperienced, and also — it had to be said — a real shithead, there was apparently some belief amongst his advisors that the best way forward, to promote the picture of a stable, mature sect leader who absolutely did not cry at the drop of a hat, was for Jin Ling to get married.
-
OR: Jin Ling and Jingyi get engaged.
Things spiral from there."
Jingyi POV from varnes is a gift. Jingyi POV trying to figure out the post-canon political landscape is a treasure.
