☔ for the teasing WIPs ask game?
☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?
So two of my favourite characters in the entire Arrowverse are Eddie Thawne and Ronnie Raymond and the main reason I never really got past S1 of The Flash is because I witnessed the death of one and heard about the death of another - the latter particularly annoying like god forbid you recast or something, eh 🙄🙄? (no shade on Jax, btw, love him, he's great, but it's the principle of the thing) and I've always tended to just ignore it one way or another, either by averting S1's finale or having Eddie's powers kick in or whatever...
But one idea I had was 'what if Eddie and Ronnie were both pulled into the singularity but survived and ended up on Earth-3' - I've used this a few times as a landing spot because E2 has it's own problems and also despite not having seen any episodes with him (just clips) I am fond of Jay Garrick and like the idea of him as a mentor but the story was going to be from Ronnie's POV (because I've only done so once before in my OC longfic) and starts dramatically because yes, this is one of those where Eddie actually dies and later revives but at the start of the story he's dead, and Ronnie keeps hold of his body because he might not know this guy well but he deserves better than being just...left in the void.
And they're both saved by Jay Garrick but even when Eddie's blue flame powers kick in he's still comatose so the worry doesn't lessen but eventually he was gonna wake up and the story was going to be as much about their friendship as anything else, because I always thought that was an interesting 'could have been' and if Robbie Amell had been able to stick around for the second season presumably Eddie's death would've haunted him to like sure, he barely knew the man but the way in which it happened...that's not easy to deal with, and maybe he have even felt some guilt too, which he definitely would in this fic...
The spark for this fic just never really showed up even though I do like the idea of writing them as friends (so that idea might well show up at some point) especially because there's something of a time limit because unfortunately Ronnie's gonna be facing the same problem as Martin on E1 in that without someone to merge with he's gonna destabilise and die and I wasn't sure how that could be sorted unless they somehow find a match on E3 or try and get back to E1 but like...that's not easy, ripping holes into the multiverse is a very risky thing to do.
I'd like to write it, though. Maybe if I rewatch S1 (and finally break into S2) it'll happen but...who knows?
