Legends of Tomorrow Gift Exchange 2026!!

my gift is for @yorit1 !! i hope you like it!!

this is a mini avalance fic, set after sara and ava's first date but before ava is made director, so before the first break up and before ava finds she's a clone 😊 basically sara comes to pick ava up for a date at the Bureau, but there's a power cut! oh no!! 

The last person Ava expected to see in the Bureau on a Friday night was Captain Sara Lance, but here she was, stood in front of her desk, hands in the pockets of her leather jackets, a smirk on her face. 

"I'm here to take you on a date." Sara said,  

"Really?" Ava said, her face suddenly flushed. "Are - are you sure?" 

"Yeah - if you don't want to go that’s fine, but this place is dead." Sara said, as she waved at the empty office. "You should go home at least." 

"I think a date sounds much better." Ava said. "Let me finish this and I'll be right with you, okay?" 

"Fine." Sara sighed dramatically. "But I'm not a patient person, so you can't take too long." 

After five minutes - 

"What do you have to do that's so urgent anyway? It's way past five 5, Ava." Sara sighed, and she leant against the desk as Ava rolled her eyes. 

"You know as well as I do, that we don't work nine 'til five -" 

Before she could finish her sentence, a loud groan came from somewhere down the hall, and the lights and computers all suddenly shut off, and they were bathed in the glow of the pale green security lighting.    "What the -" Sara started, and Ava stood up. 

"Oh, no." 

"What?" 

"Power cut – and our backup generator is down for maintenance." Ava muttered, then groaned. "And all the doors – they're all electronic." 

"So, you're saying -" 

"We're stuck." 

/// 

They sat in the semi darkness for a minute, as Sara listed off their options. 

"Time courier?" 

"They're powered by a central mainframe, which will be down as well." 

"Well, good to know." Sara muttered. "Could we break a window?" 

"They're pretty unbreakable, we are a government agency -" 

"So, we’re stuck here until tomorrow?" 

  "We're stuck here until Monday!" Ava exclaimed. 

"You're not open on the weekend?" 

"We're time travellers, Sara, if we have an issue we can deal with it on Monday." 

"Then why are you always working late?" 

"You're saying I'm a workaholic? You work 24/7! At least I don't live with my agents!" Ava said, exasperated, her hands in the air. 

Sara couldn't help but laugh, and the tension was broken. "How would that work? You all have bunk-beds?" 

"Well, maybe that’s how it works on the Waverider." Ava said, a shy smile in her face. 

Sara snorted. "You've seen my bedroom." 

"Yeah - well -" Ava stuttered. "Maybe the rest of them are in bunk beds." 

"I can assure you we've all got our own beds." Sara said. "Only one bathroom though." 

"Seriously?" 

"You've been in it!" 

"Yeah, well - I didn't know it was the only one. You never actually gave me that tour you promised." Ava shrugged. 

"I will, if you give me a tour of the Bureau." Sara smirked. 

"You'd want that?" Ava cocked her head to the side, a little curious. 

"Yeah! I've only seen the lobby you pointed a gun at me in and your office. Hardly the whole tour." 

"Well - this is only the field office. Our DC office is much bigger. We just have the main floor, the canteen -" 

"The canteen? There's food here and you didn't show me?" Sara said, as she raised an eyebrow. 

"I guess - I guess we should eat something. There's no point in starving. If we're here all weekend." 

"And to think I was going to kick the vending machine in -" 

"Okay, rule one – no property damage." Ava said, a smile on her lips. "Also, I know Gary keeps dollar bills in his desk for the vending machine. So, we can borrow some." 

"No property damage, but stealing is okay?" 

"I'll pay him back." Ava rolled her eyes. "Okay - time for the tour then." 

"You can start and end with the canteen." 

/// 

Ava almost immediately regretted showing Sara the canteen, and by extension, the kitchen, as she started to rummage through the fridge, and Ava begrudgingly decided to look for food elsewhere. 

"Ice cream?" 

"Sara! We need real food." Ava said, popping her head out from behind a cupboard. 

"Real food? You would only eat take-out and coffee if it were up to you." 

"Yes, well, you're one broken food fabricator from only eating omelettes and oatmeal." 

"Those are complete meals! And you said you liked my omelettes." Sara smirked, then her eyes widened. "Wait, there's eggs here - start chopping all the vegetables you can find." 

"I don't -" Ava started, then steeled herself. "No, you're right. We shouldn't starve. Let's make omelettes." 

Ava felt very out of place, sat at a table in the canteen, eating her – admittedly very good – omelette, with Sara opposite her, the only lighting coming from the pale green emergency lights overhead. 

"Are you worried about the Legends? If we’re here all weekend?” 

  "No – I – uh – after what happened last time, I put the handbrake on, so to speak. Gideon won't move from the timestream unless it's an actual, proper emergency." Sara shrugged. 

"Last time? Like – our first date?" 

"Yeah – I mean – they kind of ruined it." Sara ducked her head. "I actually wanted to get desert with you."   

"I think rum-floats was the best idea." 

Sara's face lit up. "Do you have alcohol in your desk?" 

"What? No!" 

"Seriously? I keep alcohol in my office." 

"Which is also your house. I keep my alcohol in my own house." 

Sara sighed, then her face morphed into a grin. "Do you think Director Bennett keeps any in his desk?" 

/// 

"Sara!" Ava hissed. "If he finds out I'm going to get fired!" 

"You're his top agent, you'll be fine." Sara said, then pulled open the bottom drawer. "Found it!"  

"Seriously?" 

"Yeah, and it's top shelf stuff." Sara hummed. "It's a Macallan from like, thirty years ago." 

"We really can't drink it then -" Ava bit her lip. "Unless – I guess Gideon could fabricate a new one? And it would taste the exact same?" 

"I knew you were a secret trouble maker, Aves." 

"Well – sometimes he chews me out for not properly disciplining the Legends. And for using the wrong form of 'practise' in my reports, which is actually very difficult." Ava said, then sighed, strode over to the desk, uncorked the bottle and took a swig. When she looked down, Sara was looking at her, impressed. 

"I can get a glass?" 

  "I'm good." Ava said. "You're right, this is good stuff. This is probably like, a year of my salary right here." 

"Well, you should drink it. Stick it to the man who doesn't pay you enough." 

"And you're sticking it to -" 

"The man who doesn't pay me at all." Sara grinned. "I do it for the love of it – and the free alcohol I guess." 

"Well -" Ava passed the bottle back over. "Cheers to the man gets paid enough to afford very good whiskey, I guess." 

"I'm not toasting to him." Sara laughed. "I'll toast to - to this stupid building which is apparently all wired to one shitty generator." 

"No, I'm toasting to a government who didn't approve the budget for good back up generator!" 

"I'll toast to the beautiful Agent who cares about budgets." 

"Me?" 

"No, Gary -" 

"Shut up." Ava said, and moved so they were pressed together. "I'll toast to the annoying Captain of a time ship who doesn't give a shit about budgets -" 

The rest of her sentence was swallowed up in a kiss, and Ava couldn’t help but sigh into it. She was pretty sure she would never get tired of kissing Sara. 

/// 

Sara had never really seen Ava drunk. She'd seen her tipsy, just a little, after they'd had rum floats, but Ava could hold her liquor and held herself wound tightly. Now she was a little unravelled, hair loose around her shoulders, legs splayed out on the floor, a soft smile on her face. She held her hand out for the bottle, and Sara shook her head. 

"It's finished." 

Ava pouted. "Really?" 

"Yeah, babe, we drank it all." 

"Then how are you not t'psy?" Ava said, slurring slightly. "You definitly drank more than me -" 

"Did I tell you? I'm an assassin." Sara said softly. "I've been trained in things." 

"Like how to drink good whiskey?" 

"Yeah, among other things." 

“Wish I had that.” Ava said, then sighed, and undid the top button of her shirt. “I wish there was... air.” 

  “What?” 

  “It’s too hot -” She sighed, then her eyes widened. "We can get onto the roof!" 

"Seriously?" 

"Yes, budget to make the roof doors electronic is in next month's site improvements. I figured we should electrify the doors from the first floor upwards." 

"Okay, well - lead the way." Sara snorted. “Unless you’re too drunk? If you fall off -” 

  “I am perfectly capable, Captain Lance.” Ava said, as she wobbled to her feet. 

/// 

The night air was warm, the kind that came after a too-hot day, and Sara stood and looked out onto the city. The block around the Bureau was enrobed in darkness, and Sara could see the evidence of the blackout in the windows lit with candles, flashlights bobbing behind curtains, and cars crawling along dark streets. 

"It's nice." Ava said softly, then sighed. "I guess no one will see us up here." 

"Yeah." Sara hummed, and passed Ava the ice cream.  

“You brought that?” Ava wrinkled her nose. “When?” 

  “I snuck off and got it. Don’t think I’m leaving without having dessert to.” 

She held up two spoons, and they sat, squashed together, looking out over the semi-darkness of the city. 

"When are the Legends going to come looking for you?" Ava said. The night air and the sugar must have sobered her up a bit, because she was no longer slurring her words as badly. 

"Uhh -" 

"What?" 

"I said I was seeing you, and not to wait up. That’s code for stay put and don’t bother me." 

"Well - if you don't come back all weekend -" 

"They still won't." 

"Seriously? Do you often leave for weekend long -" Ava stopped, and Sara laughed. 

"Are you jealous?" 

"What! No?" It sounded more like a question. "I don't care how you used to spend your weekends." 

"Well - this weekend - I wanted to spend it with you." Sara said, looking up at her through blonde lashes. "They're not going to come looking." 

Ava set down the ice cream and moved towards her, and in the second before their lips connected, there was a great clunking sound, and the city around them lit up like a Christmas tree. 

"Power!" Ava said excitedly. "Finally!" 

"We can leave?" 

  "We can!" Ava said, as she examined her watch. "The time courier's need thirty minutes to reboot, but we can leave through the front door and get a taxi -" 

"We can wait thirty minutes." Sara said. "We need to put everything back to how it was." 

"Oh, so you care about that now?" 

"Don't you?" 

"I do." Ava said, her face flushing. "But I can come in early on Monday." 

“No, c’mon.” Sara sighed, stood up and held out her hand. “Lets go tidy up.” 

“Was this the kind of date you had in mind?” Ava asked and took the outstretched hand. 

“I was thinking more a movie then dinner, but this works too.” Sara said, a grin on her face.

Ava sighed, elbows resting on her bedroom windowsill as she enjoyed a (very brief) respite from the many, many meetings on Her Majesty’s schedule. It was midday, and the knights were drilling in the courtyard the same as they did each day. Even though Ava should be used to seeing the knights train, should be used to the sounds of swords clanging against armor and hay bales, she never could resist the temptation to stop and observe. It wasn’t the knights in particular that caught her attention, but their captain. Captain Sara Lance, the leader of the royal knight guard, barked instructions at her men in a tone that did not allow for refusal. Sweat dripped down Sara’s brow, her tied back blonde hair bobbing as she marched through the courtyard. Ava subconsciously licked her lips at the sight, leaning forward until her head was nearly through the open window.

This is my gift for @barbarawar as part of the @lotgiftexchange Legends of Tomorrow Fic Exchange 2026! I had a great time writing this - I usually write mlm techno thrillers and scifi, so it was fun getting to try out wlw historical fantasy :) It's not exactly difficult to find avalance charming, either XD

Hope you enjoy!!

Legends of Tomorrow Gift Exchange

How it would work:

-Any type of fanwork (e.g. fanfics, drawings, gifs, manips, video edits) would be welcome.

-Sign-ups would begin on October 12th 2025 (00:01AM GMT) and end on October 26th 2025 (11:59PM GMT).

-Gifts would be posted on January 26th 2026 (giving participants 3 months to work on their gifts).

-All those interested in participating would fill out a form with the following information: your tumblr username (or other form of contact), your ao3 username (if you have one), your preferred form of address (e.g. name/nickname, pronouns), what you would like to receive (e.g. pairings, characters, prompts, tropes, ratings), what you would not like to receive, what you would not like to gift, and whether you would be willing and able to be a pinch hitter (i.e. fill in for someone who was unable to make a gift to ensure no one is left giftless).

-Giftees are expected to provide options as to what they would like from their gifter, taking into account that they don't know what type of fanwork they might get.

-A gifter would be expected to take into account what their giftee wants but not necessarily to make something fitting every aspect of what their giftee wants.

-A gifter would be expected not to include anything their giftee doesn't want to receive.

-Gifters and giftees would be matched up randomly with the restrictions that a gifter and giftee with significant overlap on their "doesn't want to give" and "wants to receive" lists will not be matched up, and that no gifter will be matched up with themself as a giftee.

-Gifts would be posted on tumblr (tagging this blog and the giftee, and including the tag "Legends of Tomorrow Gift Exchange 2026") and/or AO3 (gifting it to the giftee and including the tag "Legends of Tomorrow Gift Exchange 2026").

-After all the gifts are posted, I would make a roundup post of all the gifts.

-Should you be unable to make your gift, let me know as soon as possible so a pinch hitter can be contacted.

-Should you need more time to complete your gift let me know as soon as possible how much more time you might need so I can let your giftee know.

-Should there be another issue (e.g. you would have to make something you're not comfortable with but didn't think to include i your "doesn't want to give" list) let me know as soon as possible so I can find a solution.

-Feel free to send an ask with any further questions.

Would you participate in this gift exchange?

Definitely
