You’ve just figured out what the bad guy’s plans are because you were accidentally added to their group chat. You’ll go out and stop them, but reading through the group chat couldn’t hurt, right?

Coldflash soulmates AU where everything is black and white until you meet your soulmate, except their first meeting is completely unchanged and Len still throws himself out of the train. Also Iris knows that Barry is the Flash.

OMG, you’re right! I never noticed how Leonard gets ready to point the gun at Flash but drops it when he sees Barry. *drowns in feels*

sketchin silly “caught you” things

[qlala]

one of my favorite things about the “you see the good in me, i see the bad in you” quote from “infantino street” isn’t even the quote; it’s barry’s response. he looks away. he doesn’t smile. he says “maybe.” 

and for the longest time i thought it was some kind of defensiveness over leonard labeling any part of what barry is as “bad.” he had very nearly killed king shark for iris, and come just as close to abandoning leonard to die for the same reason. i don’t think barry sees it as bad, being ready to sacrifice others for iris, so i assumed that was what was behind the “maybe.” 

but tbh? on rewatch? i’m pretty sure it’s what leonard says before that that causes barry to get reticent. “maybe that’s why we get along.”

leonard is dead. he’s dead, and he’s also strolling next to barry through that forest in siberia, looking over at him, almost smiling when he says it. “that’s why we get along.” present tense. the closest leonard has ever come to acknowledging that what’s between them isn’t just a tenuous agreement to split custody of central city, all banked hostilities and mutual distrust. they get along, leonard says, almost smiling. get along, he says, a year too late. 

leonard agreed to help for no reason except that iris was in danger. he kept barry from killing an innocent. barry never saw leonard again after he left to join the legends, and now, he’s finding out that they parted on far, far better terms than he ever let himself think. 

barry looks confused in this scene, heart-breakingly so. he was right about leonard all along, but i don’t think he realized that leonard had accepted his own heel-face-turn with so much grace, long before his death. that it wasn’t his sacrifice that had made him into a hero. that barry could’ve had this, had leonard in his life as an intermittent ally: someone who greeted joe by name just to watch the muscle in his jaw jump, who flirted with iris with a ring on her finger, who clasped his hand around barry’s wrist and trusted him to pull him to safety.  

i think that “maybe” is all barry has as a shield against realizing exactly how much he lost when leonard died. not just the idea of a good man, but the real thing. something tangible, someone he could’ve gotten to know. a version of leonard who said things like “that’s why we get along” in a voice like he was teasing himself for the attachment. 

barry is already in a terrible place in this episode; i think hearing leonard talk about them like they’re friends is dangerously close to becoming the straw that breaks the camel’s back for barry. he has to make one last, weak attempt at fending it off, and that’s the “maybe.” not maybe there’s bad in him, and not maybe leonard sees it. but maybe they get along. because that way, it’s only a maybe that barry is marching another one of his friends straight toward their death, and only a maybe that it was his fault all along.

Len watched Barry fondly, laughing loudly and calling out, “You do realize you’re chasing after a Pokémon without any clothes on, right?”

“I’m very dedicated!” Barry yelled back, racing through the field. “Come on, Len! Hurry up! Gotta catch ‘em all!”

Beautiful art by the amazing @questionartbox! My insane Pokémon epic is finally done!!! Enjoy!!! <333

↳ Barry Allen & Leonard Snart | ColdFlash from “The Flash”

Barry: “Today just proved what I’ve always known. There’s good in you, Snart. And you don’t have to admit it to me, but there’s a part of you that knows you don’t have let your past define you. A part of you that really wants to be more than just a criminal.” Leonard: “So I should be a hero like you, Barry. What does that pay again?” Barry: “It’s just a matter of time.”

Barry: Tell me, Snart. Did you think I had it in me? To leave you behind? Leonard: I wasn’t sure. Always known you had the potential to be as ruthless as they come. Your history made sure of that. Same as mine. Who knows? Maybe that’s why we get along. You see the good in me, I see the bad in you. Barry: Maybe. Leonard: Piece of advice. Stop trying to beat Savitar at his own game. Your goodness is your strength. Call me sentimental. Think the Flash should remain a hero.
