#so i might just peek in and like some posts from time to time ♥️ maybe write on discord a bit on sundays

[qlala]

Every time you casually mention in your tags another coldflash wip that you have started writing years ago and might not finish...like ever, I swear I break out in a cold sweat. Because is it just like GRRM's writing pace, or...? Is there an option where I give you some money and you allow me to read through your drafts? 🤣🤣🤣

On a more serious note, it always makes my day when I get the notification that you've posted a new fic. And each time I re-read some of your stories it hits me just how special your writing is. I rarely get this feeling while reading fanfiction, so thank you so much for this ♥️

addjsjfjd unfortunately it is not a GRRM writing pace situation and is instead a “70 hr/week job” situation, so i don’t have a lot of time for writing! because of that i tend to do it for enjoyment first and publishing second, so i hop from project to project based on what’s fun to write in that moment!

a lot of times that’s a new idea, sometimes it’s digging up an old idea i never finished, and then occasionally i finally hold my nose to the grindstone and make myself finish something kicking and screaming (because i love sharing fic! it’s like interactive storytelling where i go “what if these guys did this?” and other people can comment like “wow what if they DID do that?”)

but i DO feel bad for always chatting about stuff that’s not even in the publishing pipe, so here, have a red string of fate coldflash snippet that’s been abandoned in my drafts for a while! this is one of my favorites at the moment <3

Len never thought much about his string, only ever had to try to put it out of his mind when the occasional pluck came down the invisible line late at night. So he was unprepared for what lay ahead when he was leading the Rogues in a cursory scrap with Team Flash, pointing the cold gun at Cisco with a grin. Both of them knew it was a feint—he wouldn’t fire until Barry got between them with that cold-resistant tripolymer of his.

Cisco made a grab for the gun anyway, his glasses flickering to life with a blue glow. Len was ready to dodge him, but Cisco only got halfway through his lunge and then froze as suddenly as if Len had hit him with a blast after all. He stared at the gun, then looked behind Len, then back at the gun. His mouth was agape, and Len frowned as he watched him fumble to pull his glasses off.

“Somewhere else you need to be?” he asked, slightly testily, as Cisco’s wide eyes tracked over his shoulder again. He hefted the gun pointedly, but Cisco only looked at it and laughed, a strangled, hysterical sound.

“Oh, my god. Tell me you know,” he said, and then scrubbed a hand over his forehead, looking abruptly overwhelmed. “Tell me he just… You don’t. Oh my god. You don’t know.”

Len scowled. “Not one of your better distractions, Cisco.”

To his bewilderment, Cisco turned his back to him, walked to the pile of crates nearby, and sat down heavily. Len stared at him. Had someone hit him in the head during the fight? He enforced a firm no-contact rule against the members of Team Flash without enhanced healing, but clearly someone needed a reminder.

Cisco only sighed at his bemused look, and patted the crate next to him.

Len gave him one last look of confusion, then turned his back on him to rejoin the fight. 

It was all but over. Barry had noticed the oddity of what was happening between him and Cisco and pulled up short. He was still just long enough for Peek-a-Boo to get the jump on him, and she stepped smoothly into place to trip him as he jumped into action again.

The resulting crash was a big enough distraction that Len signaled for Shawna to take the loot and go, which she did with obvious relish. From there, it was just a matter of staging a strategic retreat, and getting clear before Team Goodie-Two-Shoes realized the art was already gone.

He’d just gotten his bike snarling into life when Wally West appeared in front of him in full Kid Flash regalia, looking bemused. “Uh. Hey, Cold. This is…weird, but, Cisco needs to talk to you?”

“Sweet of him. But I don't think I'll be—”

“Uh, no. Sorry. I didn’t mean for that to sound like a question.”

Len knew he didn't have time to unholster the cold gun, but he reached for it anyway on principle. 

A few seconds of unpleasant whiplash later, STAR Labs snapped-dragged into place around him, and Wally made the wise decision to be halfway across the Cortex by the time Len got his bearings. 

Barry blew in with Cisco a moment later, but he pulled up short when he saw him.

“Snart?” 

He pulled back his cowl—an absent, stupid show of trust—and then looked at him with his head cocked, hair wild. The familiarity of it had Len brushing aside the errant glimmer of fondness it kindled in his chest.

He had a line ready, the antagonism between them as worn and easy as that old STAR Labs shirt Barry favored in his down time.

But Cisco stepped between them, Vibe gloves and goggles both lit up, and the grimace on his face wasn’t promising.

“This is gonna feel a little violating,” Cisco said. He reached his hand into the open air at about waist height, closed his fist around nothing, and pulled.

Leonard had spent his life learning to have complete control over his movements; control was what he did. But nothing, nothing could’ve kept him from staggering when he felt the pull. His string hand was yanked forward, harder than any of the light plucks he’d ever felt on the other side of the line, and he staggered forward after it, caught utterly off balance.

Across the room, Barry’s arm jerked up at the same time, and he took three stumbling steps towards the center of the room before steadying himself.

Leonard had been ready to pull the cold gun on Cisco for the stunt, humiliation flashing up the back of his neck and transmuting just as quickly into anger, but his thoughts spun out as the implications of Barry’s shocked, coltish stumble began to register.

He raised his eyes to Barry’s. It took Barry a moment to meet his gaze, expression wide-eyed and betrayed where he was looking at Cisco, looking as violated as Len felt. But finally, the thought must have caught up to him, because he glanced at Len, a brief sympathetic frown before returning his attention to Cisco, and then he went rigid.

The green eyes that met Len’s were wide and too full of shock to read any of the emotions that might’ve been behind it.

“You do both wear gloves a lot.”

Leonard started guiltily, the way he’d never done when actually caught mid-heist.

Cisco was regarding them curiously, head tilted with academic interest. “Still,” he continued, “Three years. You’d think you would’ve touched at least—“

“Cisco,” Iris cut him off, quietly, without even looking toward him. For all her wide-eyed alarm, she was looking at Barry with a sort of alert empathy, watching carefully for a sign of how to react to… this. Leonard was having a hard time saying it, even in his mind. The words were lodged somewhere impossible and refused to surface.

The pieces fit together, but the final result was incomprehensible.

Piece one: Cisco, thanks to whatever Vibe powers he possessed, could see people’s strings. Touch them, even.

Piece two: Standing exactly midway between himself and Barry, Cisco had put out a hand and yanked on Len’s string. Leonard tabbed this one in his mind; he needed to remember to ice Cisco’s hand off for it later.

Piece three: When Cisco had pulled on his string, he’d obviously pulled on Barry’s as well.

Barry, who had one hand wrapped around his other wrist and looked like he might plan on phasing straight through the floor rather than even look in Len’s direction.

Hello hello~

For szi, lily, nemea, oriol and dalia

St.valentine, flowers and doves 💕💕😊😚

Referring to this.

Thanks for the ask! 💕 You decided to go anon, but I know who you are, of course 🤭 I won't reveal it tho haha But for everyone else, Lily and Nemea are Szi's sisters and I'm currently working more on their info, hopefully I'll formally introduce them here soon~ For now you'll get a sneak peek at them!

I'll answer the ones for the other 3 first thought, since I don't have a banner for the sisters yet! This is gonna be a long post, buckle up xD

As an extra note, I'll treat the ones who I have paired up with canon characters as "already dating" when answering these, for ease sake C:

Answer under the cut~

st. valentine: what are your hopes for love this year?

He's way too busy to partake on these foolish human traditions! Besides, you should show love for your partner all year round, not only on a particular day!!!

That's his "open" answer, but inside he'll be hoping his beloved asks to spend the day together and showers him with love 🤭

flowers: what’s the best romantic gift to give someone?

He thinks the best gift is some finely crafted piece of art. It can be any form of art too, a drawing, a sculpture, a poem, a piece of music, etc. Anything that inspired his lover to create when thinking of Szi~ if it's material, he'll definitely keep it forever 💕

And, of course, he'll often gift poems or beautifully written letters to show his affections.

doves: what’s the most romantic thing someone’s done for you?

It will have to be when his lover declared his earnest love for him, directly and with no hesitation. Szi needs a lot of reassurance to open his heart, and that absolutely melted him and made him fall even more deeply in love~

st. valentine: what are your hopes for love this year?

A big amazing outing, in a fancy place and be showered with love and gifts---!!

If only, but he's gotta be more realistic here hahah His lover is often busy and can't splurge that much. But still, Oriol has been planning a cute romantic date at a modest but trendy cafe for a few weeks~ and he'll invite this time so he can spoil his beloved too~ ;)

Still, he hopes he'll get a cute gift and lots of love on Valentine's Day~

flowers: what’s the best romantic gift to give someone?

Like I said on the last ask, he loves really big cliche gestures and gifts. He'll go for a big bouquet of roses and a declaration~~

He's also really fond of getting gifted jewelry or accessories. He can wear them all the time and get reminded of his beloved~ (and brag about it to everyone hahah "look at what my boyfriend gifted mee for Valentine's Day~~~ 🤭💕" xD)

doves: what’s the most romantic thing someone’s done for you?

For all his love for grand gestures, the one that got to him the most was a really private and soft moment.

Just after waking up in his lover's arms for the first time, hair a mess and no makeup one. He looked horrible for sure. But his beloved looked at him with eyes full of love and told Oriol how beautiful he is and how much loves him. Oriol was so moved that he even teared up a bit, melting into him ♥️

st. valentine: what are your hopes for love this year?

To be completely honest, she hopes her lover remembers that is Valentine's Day. She already made sure they have a date that day, but he tends to be in his own world and might not realize xD

Still, they'll have a nice outing she prepared~

flowers: what’s the best romantic gift to give someone?

For her, the thought is what counts the most. As long as the person really put effort on finding something she'd love, she'll be really happy no matter what it is. The love and care shown is what's most romantic 💕

doves: what’s the most romantic thing someone’s done for you?

When her beloved helps her get through uneven/slippery terrain or helps her get down from somewhere~ The way he just holds her hand in his and guides her. Or holds her waist to get her down... so romantic and effortlessly intimate!!

What do you mean she has to chose one thing? It just keeps being the most romantic thing every time it happens 😌💕

Lily

st. valentine: what are your hopes for love this year?

She's too busy to waste time with dumb traditions like this one! But still, she always gets letters and gifts on Valentine's days from people who have a crush on her. She mostly rejects them outright.

Maybe one day she'll get a confesion from someone she likes, tho~

flowers: what’s the best romantic gift to give someone?

It has to be something unique made just for her and no one else. Doesn't particularly have to be useful, it can just be decorative, but it has to take her aesthetic and preferences into account. It has to feel like the other person really knows her and is "intimate" in a way.

doves: what’s the most romantic thing someone’s done for you?

She doesn't have much romance experience yet, but there was one time, back in middle school, when a random guy on her class gave her his jacket when she looked really cold and she was really impressed. He did it so effortlessly and cool~ she didn't fall for him or anything, but it made her blush a lot at the moment and she viewed him in a better light from then on hahah.

Nemea

st. valentine: what are your hopes for love this year?

Weeeeell, there's a few cute guys she likes to tease~ but she doesn't like any of them enough to confess or give them gifts on this day. But maybe if one of them confesses to her, she'll think about it? Depends on how well they do~ 🤭

flowers: what’s the best romantic gift to give someone?

Just as the question is named: flowers. A big colourful extravagant bouquet. Buying something like that and carrying it all the way till they met requires a lot of courage and shows how serious the person is and Nemea feels like that's really romantic~ Also, she really likes flowers 😌

doves: what’s the most romantic thing someone’s done for you?

Well, a dude that was interested in her in the past asked what she found romantic and she answered what I said on the last question. He gave her such a big bouquet she could barely hold it steady. She was so impressed she went out with him (it didn't last too long tho, they weren't too compatible hahaha).

----

Once again, thanks to everyone who read till here. That was a lot. But it's fun to think of all of this and figure it out~ so thanks for the ask, really ♡

Also, I think I understood the first question slightly wrong and my answer is more "this Valentine's day" than this year... oops. I am lazy to change it so kdkdkfnfi sorry!
