Len: Well, I’m not making rent this month.

Barry: Hey, did you want to be in love so we can split it?

Oliver: You need a minimum three person polycule to live comfortably these days.

Dinah: Right?! Monogamy? In this economy??

POLYAM WEEK: Day Four (OT4+)-Coldflarrowave (Oliver x Leonard x Barry x Mick)

Leonard Snart was born with a gift--an eidetic memory. Unfortunately, that gift was manipulated by his corrupt cop father, Lewis, and used to commit crimes. He didn’t expect his dreams of being a cop to end when he was eighteen and caught breaking-and-entering, while his father got off for the crime. 

So, he left Central City, only returning twenty years later when his father was thrown in prison and his sister asked him to come home. Once he returned, he vowed not to use his abilities for crime. But that doesn’t mean he stopped using it completely--every now and then, he called in tips for money on televised cases he solved from his couch. 

Then, Detective Oliver Queen arrested him as an accomplice in a crime. Thinking fast, Leonard shouted out the first explanation for his knowledge he could think of--he’s psychic. 

He didn’t know that Police Chief Iris West would take him seriously and hire him as consulting psychic detective (which, of course, he dragged his best friend/partner Mick Rory into). He didn’t know that he’d start working with Detective Queen and his adorable, fresh out of blues partner, Detective Barry Allen. 

He didn’t know about the feelings that would develop, finding the people who he trusted with his life on a daily basis, and who trusted him with theirs. 

He didn’t know they’d fall in love.

Ha ha, you articulated my thoughts on Len-Oliver shipping. Oddly, or not too oddly, for some reason I see it working out better as some kind of OT3 deal with Barry. He adds a reconciling bridging element that's independent and strong enough not to put up with their crap. (And not just because I find the three of them together pretty steaming because of how they highlight three distinct male archetypes.) [Yes, I'm pretty disappointed that there's only one major fic for these three.]

Yeah, I sort of suspect my own thoughts on Len-Oliver were biased due to that fic, to be totally honest, though I tried to step outside of that to answer. It’s not something I personally ship (or them as an OT3 with Barry) but I do feel like Len and Oliver have some similarities that could lead to a mutual respect and understanding, if even they don’t like each other?

Writing them into the same scene together is always a little interesting when it comes up in my fics ^^;

(and now thanks to some recent fics I’ve started shipping oliver with mick and felicity so idek my ollie ships are all over the map)

Len: On the bright side, I’m not addicted to crack cocaine.

Barry, very sleep deprived: On the downside you’re probably rich enough from heists to afford one.

Len, Diana and Oliver: ...

Dinah: One crack cocaine?

Barry: Shit-

Oliver: Hello Mr. Drug Dealer, yes I would like to purchase one crack cocaine.

Len: Will that be debit or credit?

Dinah: Actually I have a gift card!

[what-if-i-imagine]

Len: *kicks the door open holding Dinah with Oliver held up by one of his arms around him, all of them disheveled, slightly bloody, and out of breath*

Barry: What did you do?

Len: Nobody died!

Barry: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!

[what-if-i-imagine]

[when Oliver isn’t home to do the grocery shopping]

Dinah: Okay! Mission number two, finding where the popcorn is!

Barry: Wait, what was mission number one?

Len: Fucking getting here Barry.

[what-if-i-imagine]

William, messing with his parents: Good response to being stabbed with a knife, go!

Dinah: Rude.

Oliver: That’s fair.

Barry: Not again!

Len: Are you going to want this back or can I keep it?

(Alternatively with their secondaries)

Felicity: Rude.

Tommy: That’s fair.

Eddie: Not again!

Mick: Are you going to want this back or can I keep it?

Black and Blue Christmas get to know my ship!
