I'm almost afraid to ask for your headcanons about anything because it'll probably make me cry. BUT OKAY. AU where Iris West meets Lois Lane and they fall in love.
I could have done really dark post-BvS headcanons but I gave you fluff instead because I’m a nice person. You’re welcome.
They meet at a function for women journalists being held in Gotham City and bond unexpectedly over the fact that they’re most famous for writing about their respective cities’ superheroes, Superman and The Flash - and how annoying it is to just be seen as a silly reporter with a crush rather than a serious journalist.
On their first date, Lois gets nervous enough that she spills coffee all over Iris’s laptop and insists on paying for it to be repaired. When it turns out that the thing is fried (scalding hot coffee will do that), she buys her a brand-new Mac out of her Daily Planet salary. A reporter’s gotta have all the best equipment if she wants to succeed, after all. And she feels terrible about ruining a fellow journalist’s tools. (She also feels terrible about making such a sucky impression on said ridiculously pretty fellow journalist.)
They get…competitive over their articles. “I’ll bet you that my boss can agree to publish my story on gang violence before yours prints your expose of on the sweatshop operating out of the outskirts of Metropolis.” “Oh really?” “Yeah, really.” “You’re on. The loser pays for dinner this Friday.”
Barry and Clark will often try and find ways of spying on their writing to “see if they’re being portrayed correctly”. They’re very vain like that.
The girls laugh about it over generous amounts of wine on stay-at-home date nights.
send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it
