I'm SO GLAD I tagged you in the WIP thing! Those snippets are gold. I'm over here making heart eyes at the bits you posted from the two Coldflash one shots. They both sound SO GOOD and I CAN'T WAIT for them. 😍😍😍 BUT! I can't believe no one asked you about the Coldwestallen time loop fix-it yet! Pretty please?

aaahh thank you!! and for you, of course! 🥰

The first time Len explained his theory—the Vanishing point, the shared dream space, the tether of Barry’s powers—Len was certain it was working. Barry listened intently, his brow furrowed but his eyes clear and focused, nodding to himself as Len spoke. In the woods around them, the birdsong and rustle of wind had stopped—a reliable indicator that Len had his full attention.

“This is a pocket universe,” Barry said, and Len felt a fierce bloom of relief in his chest. Clever boy; he could’ve kissed him.

Then Barry blinked at him, shock crossing his features. “You’re alive.”

The bright burst of hope only lived in his eyes for a second before it was smothered by pain, and then Barry was reeling back from him. Len hadn’t even realized how close they’d gotten until Barry was stepping away, looking around the clearing with new understanding.

“This isn’t real,” Barry said, and just like that, Len had lost him.

Barry wouldn’t look at him, green eyes unfocused, mistaking the unreality of Siberia for the unreality of him.

Len watched with simmering annoyance as Barry raked his fingers through his hair, found a nearby cedar tree to lean against, and then slid down to sit at its base with his head in his hands.

“I know I shouldn’t have risked the timeline,” Barry said. “I know. Please, don’t do this. I learned my lesson. You don’t have to—”

Len didn’t know who Barry was talking to, and didn’t particularly care. He’d known the direct approach wasn’t a sure thing, but he’d expected more of a fight from Barry than this. Barry was usually quick to become defensive, and Len wasn’t sure whether to be flattered or annoyed that his death seemed to be the one thing that Barry was accepting constructive criticism on.

Rhetorically, that was. Len knew damn well which one he was feeling, and he stalked after Barry and came to a stop in front of him. When Barry didn’t look up, fingers still buried in his hair with the heels of his hands pressed to his eyes, Len delivered a sharp kick to the side of Barry’s foot with the toe of his boot.

Barry startled, finally looking up.

Len crouched in front of him, and barely resisted the urge to snap his fingers in Barry's face.

“You don’t wanna talk about getting me out, fine,” he said. “Least you can do is provide some conversation. This year’s crime stats. The Diamonds’ postseason. The weather.”

Barry only stared at him, gaze flickering quickly over his face. Len knew that look; he was caught halfway between the dream and reality, his mind teetering on the brink of pulling the cord and waking him up again. Len tightened his grip on the cold gun and held on to the last threads of his patience. It had been nearly a week since Barry’s last dream, and he wasn’t ready to let him go just yet.

Inspired by this post Bonus:

[moriavis]

Coldflash - summer heat (technically two words, but I figured if I said 'heatwave' it would get confusing :p)

(LOL heatwave)

“Please, the summer heat’s killing me in my costume,” Barry pleaded, and it sounded genuine enough that Leonard paused and looked back, adjusting his goggles. “I’ll get you sushi from that place in Osaka you like--” 

Leonard smirked and pressed the trigger to activate his cold field, and Barry cut his sentence off, flinging himself to the ground with a sigh so he could enjoy every second of the prickling cold.

Drop a word in my inbox and I’ll write three sentences of a fic based on it.

For the fandom survey: The Flash!

Yay, thank you! ^^

Here is my answers:

Favorite Male Character: I know everbody expect Leonard Snart, but he is not there anymore :’(, so my answer is genuinly Barry Allen. After all, I watch the show for the Flash. :)

Favorite Female Character: I guess, it’s Iris.

Least Favorite Character: It’s hard to choose one, because I don’t have any. I mean, I don’t like the cruel psychos, but I like everyone in the main team.

Favorite Ship: COLDFLAAAAAAASH! :D

Favorite Friendship: Cisco Ramon + Caitlin Snow

Favorite Quote: “Run, Barry, run!” *creepy Reverse Flash voice* and “Always pleased to meet a fan.” :D

Worst Character Death (if any): It was... plenty. :( But actually the worst for me was Nora West-Allen’s. I decided to drop the whole show after season five, because of that (and because of I gave up that we ever get any Rogue centric season...) But then I gave the show a last one try.

This made me so happy you have no idea Moment: When Barry just looooove to run. Every time, when he is happy, because of running. :) And when he and Snart are flirting with each other. :D

Saddest Moment: When a Nora is dying on the show... :( Because there were at least three Nora Allen death and one Nora West-Allen’s death. :(

Favorite Location: the speedforce!!! :D (If it counts as a location. ;)) I always wondered what would it look like and feel like in there in the reality.

sproutwings replied to your post “OK so Barry somehow got a hold of Leonard Snart’s parka after his...”

Didn't Snart leave the parka behind in Infantino Street?

You’re right! I just checked all Legends of Tomorrow S1 episodes, and he never wears his parka anymore after “Left Behind”, which is around the time the Arrowverse wiki places Infantino Street in the chronology.

So yes, he did leave it at Star Labs!

Still, they kept it around, which is pretty sentimental. And Barry was most likely the one who thought of giving it to Leo, since they gave him the line “thought you could do something with it.”

Do you know if there's a GIF set out there for Barry's "Everybody I tried to teach ended up worse than how I found them" and all the people he accidentally got killed while pushing them to be better? (Super random ask, sorry! I just watched the final two eps back to back and couldn't find anything, and you're, like, the Queen of GIFs, so I figured if anyone knew I'd be you. :D)

okay first of all “Queen of GIFs” I’M BLUSHING. and secondly, I’m not sure? I don’t think there is one. but, uh, I might be in the process of making one now.

[stars-of-nixie]

Ack, sorry for the double one. That was supposed to be 20, not 2. #fail

Totally understandable!

20. Do you have a favorite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love! This may get long but I’m not sorry, cause these authors and fics are amazing!

Pretty much anything @asexual-fandom-queen writes I love. She makes me feel things I didn’t know I could feel.

@lotusvalkyrie, everything they write is wonderful and I love them for it!

This series is amazing and I high-key recommend if you’ve see the 2016 Magnificent Seven reboot, Luck of the Draw.

@crimsondomingo and @coldtomyflash, the emotions they make you feel when you read their stuff. It should be illegal.

If you’ve never read @airyalmost‘s fic, The Flower That Blooms In Adversity (Is The Most Rare And Beautiful Of All), you should go do so now.

Absolutely all of @lady–divine‘s Coldflash stuff is amazing! And despite the fact I never really got into Glee, I did break down and read a few of her fics for them, and their just as awesome.

@wacheypena, Their art and fic is AMAZING!!

Also, @katyakora, @amuletgays, @i-dont-wanna-take-it-slow, @snarkysnartes, @tabihe and @grimm-fairy. These are all very talented and amazing writers and I love them for the emotions they invoke when I read their stuff.

I’m sure I’m missing people I’d like to tag or link their stuff, but these are just the ones I can think to show love to off the top of my head.
