[ID: Fanart of Hank King Jr and Sandy Hawkins from DC Comics. There are three sets of them on the picture. In the first they're relaxing in casual clothes against a pile of pillows. In the second, they're in casual clothes again, they are sitting and Hank is hugging Sandy's back and kissing his cheek. To the side is a chibi of them in costume as Sand and Brainwave Jr. End ID]

treat for FallofFall from the dcu-rarepair exchange. hank and sandy cuddling!

[sandy-castle]

Sandy being in the closet and Hank being unable to tell when someone is into him would cause the slowest slowburn. Someone would point out that Sandy is flirting and Sandy would deny it while giving Hank a look that Hank assumes means Sandy is mad at him (it was a flirtatious look).

James Jesse/Mark Mardon:

"You know, you walk out the door. You see someone that you know, and they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand." - Leonard Snart whenever Weather Wizard starts telling Trickster they aren't taking his share of the loot because his gimmick wasn't funny in the middle of a heist. They have a really fun dynamic where they seem to be professional rivals who have a lot of opinions on each other's methods and are always annoying each other, but then during the Impulse run James calls Mark one of his best friends and suddenly everything made sense about them. I think they actually are best friends, Mark is the Rogue James goes to during Rogues War after the Top undoes his mind control, and Mark is the guy who invites James back into banter with the guys during Countdown. James knows how to use the Weather Wand which is always fun for innuendoes. Begging for the Flash writers to remember these guys are supposed to be blowjob brothers (evil version) now that James is back because I miss stupid boy time.

Henry King Jr./Sanderson Hawkins:

This is not because of the events of JSA (2024) I am actually like "ach, I can't believe they've done this" when I saw that, I had a conspiracy theory about this ship way before they decided Sandy should be into Hank's ex. But anyway Sandy in JSA 1999 was incredibly gay coded, at least before Geoff Johns took over, and in one of the secret files he had a dream of the future which ended with Hank in the stars (no one else in the dream was portrayed like this) and taking over the entire space (implying some amount of importance). I add all this together in my head to say gay lovers. But then Geoff Johns took over so I guess all this is moot.

Sandwave hero/villain fic where Hank deals with his first gay crush by deciding that he needs to be the leader of Sandy's (new, he is building one up) Rogue's Gallery and Sandy needs to stop him before Jay Garrick finds out and/or Johnny Sorrow kills him.

Sandwave mixed with Sandy processing his grief over the loss of Sylvester.

There are parallels here to be drawn about them both being drugged and imprisoned after an erratic meltdown caused partially by their dads. Plus both of them being expected to just be normal about it afterwards

The Shade is constantly pining over Jay and it is glorious. He calls Jay a “smiling Hermes” and says that his helmet is “charming” and that he is “truly living” when they’re around each other.

264, “You’re so warm.” with either SandWave or SandSyl, please?

Prompt from this post. I went with sandwave. This is two months late, I'm sorry.

Wind howled past the loosely rattling windows of Sand’s cabin. Cold air seeped in through the rotted wood frames and worn seals of the old windows; through the uneven back door that didn’t quite sit on its frame right; and through the tears in the roof, which Sandy had barely patched when he first returned to the cabin in the fall. The heater was conveniently out too. 

When the sunny evenings and the lush forestry of spring surrounding his cabin returned, Sand would fix all these things. For the winter though, Sand stocked up on fire wood and wrapped Hank and himself in blankets. 

In the first snowfall, Sand realized this was a mistake. The fire burned bright but added little heat to the room. The blankets only held up until the moment one of them had to get up for the bathroom, then they had to restart the process of collecting body heat. The only saving grace was Hank’s attempt to trap any heat they could into a psychic bubble around the pair. 

The couch was shoved close to the fireplace. Both sat in many layers of blankets, Hank curled into Sand’s arms. Sand stared at the fire, quickly burning through wood, with disdain. 

‘Maybe if it stops snowing tomorrow I can get up in the attic and see what killed the heating,’ Sand thought to himself. This was his third time mapping out a game plan to fix the cold. He found it wildly irresponsible to drag Hank out here just for the cabin to fall apart in the first blizzard. 

“You’re so warm,” Hank said, breaking Sand’s train of thought. He smiled back at Sand. 

“You’re warm right now?” Sand asked. He found it hard to believe in a room this cold. 

“Warm and comfortable,” Hank reassured him, “This place is every bit as cozy as you described it. I can’t wait to make it our home.” 

Sand returned the smile, then looked back at the fire. It flickered in its cove of dull brown bricks, doing its best to provide warmth to the room.
