that's what brave knights do

"I could fix him" well I could be the one person he's nice to and soft with, while he remains just as unbelievably awful as ever to everyone else <3

#literally the plot of  #infantino street  #leonard walking into star labs like hi bitches 😈 not you barry. your goodness is your strength (via @qlala)

Extremely funny to imagine that when Iris is at Barry's bedside during his coma, tearfully monologuing about how much she needs him to wake up (The house is really quiet without you. I know that the reason you came to live with us was awful, but Barry, you made it home again. You made us a family again. We need you. I need you.) that Cisco and Caitlin are somewhere off to the side. Kind of explains why Cisco says Iris is "Barry's...something" later.

Does anyone have good longfic coldflash fics with like slow burn and angst maybe :3 like make sure is like 20+ chapters😭 I need a good night times story also I need it canon🥲 not the oculus tho!

Oh, I am so on this. When Lightning Hits Ice is part one of the Sparks in the Ice series. It's 33 chapters and the sequel is in progress right now. By @zemkzone Second Try is part one of The Second Time Around Series. It's 20 chapters and part two is in progress. i just wanna have fun and (get rowdy) is a college chatfic au. It's so much fun how the characterizations are both adapted to the setting and still so true to canon characteristics. And everybody is queer (except for one token ally). The series is 350k words and complete. By @joanthangroff Make My Bed and Light the Light, I'll Arrive Late Tonight is a 1920s nobility/servants AU. I didn't expect to like this and I was blown away by how good it is. It was a story that, for me, there were so many clues that I didn't pick up on and, on a reread, it was really fun to go back and see what I had missed with the full context. 87k and in progress. By @nafeathers I Won't Ever Be To Far Away to Feel You is a bit of a role reversal AU; Len is a cop and Barry has a bit of a criminal streak. It's 79k and complete. By @thatsnotmygunflash Perspective: A Regency Romance is another one I didn't expect to love as much as I did. It taught me that I actually do like stuff set in the Regency era, as long as it's gay. It's 48k and complete. By @zemkzone Just Friends is both fake dating and Barry doesn't know they're fake dating. It's 168k and in progress. By @holycafe We'll Make This Feel Like Home is part one of The Roommates 'Verse, in which Barry and Len meet pre-particle accelerator explosion and they were roommates! The series is 648k and complete. By @coldflasher The Prince and the Ice King is a fairy tale curse AU. It's 110k and complete. By @crimsondomingo In the Wrong Kind of Light is part one of the Let Me Tell You a Story about War series. Across the series, Len visits different Earths and different Barrys. This one was heartbreaking in all the best ways. The series is 90k and all existing parts are complete. By @crimsondomingo and sugarybowl (I don't know if they're on tumblr).

An Internal Affair is a role reversal AU where Len is an officer with Internal Affairs. It's 134k and complete. By @robininthelabyrinth Absolute Matchmaker has Len meet an adult child he didn't know he had...and it turns out Barry tutored the kid in college and they were friends. Matchmaking and fake dating ensues. 69k and complete. By @crimsondomingo The Color of Love isn't exactly a slow burn; Len gets whammied by Bivolo and thinks he's in love with Barry. It gets angsty. It's 157k and complete. By @crimsondomingo Bolt from the Blue is canon divergent; Len and Barry meet two years prior to the particle accelerator explosion and Len immediately picks up on how creepy Wells is. It's 171k and unfinished; even though it hasn't been updated since 2017, I highly recommend it. By town_without_heart (I don't know if they're on tumblr). An All Too Jagged Snowflake is a soulmates AU with some great worldbuilding around how soulmarks and connections work. Barry experiences lots of angst about his nemesis being his soulmate. It's 277k and complete. By @coldtomyflash Lightning Hot (Your Coffee That Is) is the first part of the Break the Ice Between Us series, which has two parts and 129k. By @holycafe Rogue Z is a zombie AU. It's 279k and even though it hasn't been updated since 2016, I recommend it; it's a really fun read even if we don't get to learn how it ends. By bealeciphers (I'm not sure if they're on tumblr). Out Cold is a story where Len develops amnesia and he and Barry fall in love when he doesn't remember who he is and angst ensues when he does. It's 200k and complete. By @crimsondomingo Love Me is one where Barry gets whammied and falls in love with Len; and can't leave his side without dire consequences. It's 77k and complete. By @sinplicity (I don't know if they're on tumblr). Seek Comfort, Find Faith is a shorter one and it's phenomenal. It's 22k and worth every word; complete. By @annawry By Any Other Name is a role reversal AU. Even though it hasn't been updated since 2019, I recommend it. It's worth spending time in the universe, even if we don't get to see how it ends. It's 256k. By cardinalstar (I'm not sure if they're on tumblr). What Happens in Vegas is another shorter one; it's basically a hooked-up-to-slow-burn in which Len and Barry meet before the particle accelerator explosion. It's 28k and in progress. By @incorrectcoldflashblog Edited to add: Second Try is by Linzero (I'm not sure if they're on tumblr). Oops...I got so excited going through my bookmarks that I forgot about the 'must be canon' part.

what a fine saturday to realize leonard never raised a hand against barry again after “family of rogues”

obsessed with people who stan side characters it’s so funny like you’ll see them talk endlessly about count gobbledegook IV and then you go to wikipedia and find out they’ve been in five episodes total across a 300 episode series
