Hi! I hope you’re having a beautiful day.
Do you know any fics where Barry and Len actually plan a wedding and have one? I’ve seen so many where they get engaged but never the wedding/planning it part. I don’t typically aim for already established-relationship fics but I will for a wedding!
Thank you!!!!
Aw, I hope you're having a beautiful day too. That's a great question! I'd never noticed how few wedding fics there are for this ship.
Here's every single fic I could find with aspects of a coldflash wedding. Some I've read, some I haven't, hence the difference in summary length & detail.
Planning:
Decisions by dann_icqw3 1k, G. Wedding planning amidst a day of superheroing/supervillaining. I recommend just jumping into this fic without reading the summary because it's a spoilery prompt. (Then maybe go back and read the prompt at the end as a source of more ideas.)
A Never-Ending Rotation of Rainbow-Colored Bowties by theoriginalicecreamqueen 5k, T. Cisco/Joe is the focus of this, but the background plot is planning a coldflash wedding. Royalty AU.
You've got a friend in me by CaptainLokii 24k, E. Work 3 out of 5 in a harrisco & coldflash series. There's a bit of coldflash wedding planning in the middle of this one.
On their wedding day before the ceremony:
My Husband's Gonna Be So Mad by ConventionalScarlet 1k, T. Barry and Len get held up by a security trap on the day of their wedding.
Wedding Blues by supremegreendragon 3k, T. Lead-up to their wedding ceremony and a bit of the ceremony itself. Len faces a saboteur. Featuring the Justice League. Feels more comics-based than show-based.
When I Love You (No Matter What) by NoelleAngelFyre 5k, M. Last work in a 20k-word series. Casino wedding. Most of the fic takes place on the wedding day right before the ceremony. Then there's an overview of the ceremony and hanging out afterwards.
The ceremony:
Opportunity by MomoMoon115 3k, G. Full wedding ceremony.
A Tiny Bit of Hope for the Future by messedupstargazer 5k, G. Last work in a 27k-word series. Barry incorporates a photo of his mother into his wedding ceremony, Joe apologizes for being a dick in hopes of getting an invite, and we get an overview of the ceremony.
your eyes look like coming home by MissSugarPlum 7k, E. Nonlinear narrative. Includes ring shopping, a scene right before the ceremony, vows, them talking while dancing, and them sneaking off to fool around in a coat closet, as well as some earlier relationship stuff.
Request for Proposals by nirejseki 19k, T. There's a wedding at the end of this — not quite on screen, more summarized. A canon-similar AU in which courting & marriage involve a detailed contract organized by a designee close to the person to be married. The fic is in Mick's POV as he considers candidates for Len to marry, interviews them, and chaperones a first date with each. Then Mick & Iris (Barry's designee) work on a relationship contract for Barry & Len, ending in a wedding.
Reception only:
Reception by Moriavis 500 words, G. Len & Barry dance and talk at their reception.
On Display by canthelpmyselves 29k, E. An entire getting-together narrative with wedding reception & speeches in the last chapter. Barry owns and performs at a sex club, and he doesn't date because of some particularities/peculiarities he has when it comes to sex, partially due to OCD. After Len finds out about the club, they spend some time together, talk about Barry's needs, and build a relationship that works well for them. Heads up that this fic is not very Iris friendly imo (in that she is written as disapproving, jealous, and disrespectful of Barry's boundaries), in case that's not your thing. Either way, the last chapter mostly stands alone and is definitely worth reading for Mick's best man speech.
Arranged marriage AUs (all have a ceremony):
Things suck a little less with you by Moon_for_moon 3k, T. AU where neither Len nor Barry are very involved in crime. Arranged marriage by their mob boss fathers. First meeting at the ceremony, then chaos, then bed sharing and hurt/comfort. Featuring Mick helping them escape a hit. Incomplete, so no falling in love & getting together.
The Story of Nora Thawne by blueelvewithwings 14k, E. Noncon forcefem + mobster AU.
Until Death Do Us Part (orphaned) 55k, E. Werewolves & dragons AU. Meeting and ceremony in Ch 1.
The Winter Lightning by Mistvalkyrie 164k, E. Medieval AU. Ceremony in Ch 22 after they fall for each other.
A Frozen Heart's Melting by GothRaven89 200k, T. Royalty AU. Ceremony in Ch 3.
The ones that don't start as established relationship are: all the arranged marriage AUs, Request for Proposals, On Display, and the series Steal My Heart (It's Already Yours) and Saints and Sinners.
Enjoy!!
