Saramaya AU: 27 Dresses 

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Sara Lance has been in twenty-seven wedding parties – with the dresses to prove it – but has yet to find her own happy ending. Deeply in love with her boss, Nyssa al-Ghul, Sara hopes some day soon, the dress she wears down the aisle will be white.

When Sara’s older sister Laurel comes home from law school, Sara’s heart is broken when Laurel and Nyssa immediately hit it off and start dating. She could tell Laurel about her feelings, sure, but Sara is still harbouring enough guilt from stealing Laurel’s high school boyfriend to last a lifetime. Her sister deserves to be happy in love, and she and Nyssa are perfect for each other. If Sara has to put up and shut up, that’s what she’ll do. When Nyssa proposes to Laurel, Sara swallows her feelings and jumps into full wedding planner mode. It’s nothing she hasn’t done twenty-seven times before, after all.

But watching Laurel and Nyssa together hits harder than Sara knows how to handle. Unraveling at the seams, Sara finds solace in an unexpected source, a cynical, anti-wedding journalist named Amaya Jiwe.

Amaya works for the Star City Journal in Commitments, and for years, she’s been Sara’s favourite writer. Sara even has an embarrassing collection of Amaya’s articles in her bedside table clipped from the Sunday paper. Getting off on the wrong foot, Sara and Amaya first meet the night Sara spends hours – and hundreds of dollars – running back and forth between two wedding after an incident during the bouquet toss leaves Sara lightheaded and Amaya offers to help her home.

And steals Sara’s day planner in the process.

It’s an innocent mistake at first, Sara forgetting her day planner in the backseat of their shared cab. But once Amaya takes a look inside and sees just how much time and energy Sara puts into being a bridesmaid, an idea for a story that will finally get her out of Commitments and into more serious journalism hits her.  Sara is the perfect subject for an exposé on society’s unhealthy obsession with the wedding industry. And when Amaya gets assigned to write a piece for Laurel and Nyssa’s wedding, she takes it as the perfect opportunity to learn more about Sara and her strange infatuation with weddings.

What Amaya doesn’t expect is to fall in love with Sara. But, the more time they spend together, the more Sara goes from strange wedding zombie to three-dimensional human being. Amaya gets cold feet about the article and asks her editor to hold off on printing it.

Sara and Amaya are both blindsided when Amaya’s article shows up on the front page of the Commitments section Sunday morning. Especially because, after a heated argument about Sara’s feelings for Nyssa and an ill-timed car accident in the middle of nowhere, Sara and Amaya ended the night before by sleeping together.

Sara’s trust betrayed, it’s up to Amaya to make amends for all the heartbreak she’s caused, and the wedding she’s inadvertently ruined with the truth of Sara’s feelings for Nyssa laid bare for all to see. 

That is, if Sara will ever speak to her again.

Legends Romcom Week: AtomWave (eventual ColdWaveAtom) | Lost Alien AU The last thing Mick needs following a heist and car chase gone almost horribly wrong are any damn surprises.  Which is why when he finds a 6′4″ man in his safehouse, totally naked and going through his rations, he’s less than thrilled. And while yes, it seems like it would be wrong to kill this messy-haired, starry-eyed boy, Mick sure as hell isn’t happy he’s there. Especially not when the boy kisses him to “learn English.”

The man isn’t even a man, he’s a goddamn alien, and he’s clingy as hell and wears Mick’s jacket and sort of sits on Mick’s sofa with this kind, expectant face- Mick doesn’t even know how to contact Leonard without them both getting caught while the cops are still looking for them, let alone how to help some alien reassemble his spaceship so he can go home and tell everyone about Earth.

And then there’s the fact that Ray (he says it’s a loose translation) is a touchy-feely kind of guy in every way possible- And that every time he tries to learn something new, Mick ends up with another 5 hickeys. He doesn’t know how to help Ray, or himself, or Leonard, and now on top of everything, it seems like there’s people out there looking for Ray, too. 

But damn, that boy kisses like a dream. He says it’s for thanks, and when Mick explains what it means he just laughs, and says it can be that, too.

SIX WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Leonard pulled up to Downing Street and took a deep breath. He could do this. He was the youngest prime minister elected in all of Britain’s history at only 43, and he could do anything, he had promised to do anything.

He opened the door and was met with the flashes of cameras and a barrage of questions. He did the best he could to smile and wave while making his way towards the door. He could feel Sara, his assistant, guiding him through the doorway and into the privacy of the house.

When the door was finally closed, he let out a sigh of relief. “So,” he said, turning toward the younger blonde woman next to him, “down to business?”

“Not quite,” she said, smirking at him impishly, “Time to meet the house staff.” Leonard groaned and rolled his eyes. House staff was always so proper, and he was not in the mood for socialization. He ran for office to fix the country, not to schmooze.

Sara leads him into the next room, where several men and women of all ages are dressed in waiting attire and standing perfectly straight. “Prime Minister Snart,” she says, “meet your house staff.”

An older man wearing thick-framed glasses takes a step out of line. “It’s an honor to meet you,” he says, “my name is Martin Stein. I’m the head of house staff.”

Leonard shook his hand. “I had an uncle called Martin once,” he said thoughtfully, “hated him. But don’t worry, I like the looks of you,” he said with a reassuring smile.

Sara continued to lead him down the line. “This is Felicity.”

The impossibly tiny woman in front of him piped up. “I’m in charge of housekeeping.”

Leonard smiled again. “Oh, it should be a lot easier with me than with the last lot. No nappies, no teenagers, definitely no scary wife.” She laughed at that, putting him a little more at ease.

Sara introduced him to a few more people before they stopped in front of an incredibly tall, handsome man. “This is Raymond,” Sara supplied, “he’s new. Like you!”

He put out his hand and grinned. “Hello, Raymond,” he said, “pleasure to meet you.”

Raymond hastily took his hand and shook it. “Hello, Leonard!” The rest of the staff, and Sara looked at him in shock. When he realized what he’d done, he dropped Leonard’s hand immediately. “I mean sir. Shit, I can’t believe I did that. And now I’ve said ‘shit’. Twice. I’m sorry, sir.”

“It’s fine, don’t worry,” said Leonard, oddly charmed by the man’s babbling, “You could’ve said ‘fuck’ and then we would’ve been in real trouble.”

Ray grinned back at him toothily. “Thank you, sir. I did have an awful premonition I was going to fuck up on my first day.” He pause a moment before looking up to the ceiling in exasperation. “Oh, fuck.”

Leonard laughed. Sara smiled reassuringly at the man, and said “Don’t worry about it Raymond, really.” She looked up at Leonard and said, “I’ll get my things, and then off to fixing the country, okay?”

Leonard nodded, giving a mock salute to the house staff and walking off. In the background he could hear Felicity mocking Raymond. “Dude,” she said, “really?”

“He was hotter than I expected!” Ray shout-whispered back. “I was caught off guard!” Felicity snickered and Leonard smiled to himself. Well this should be fun.

He remembers the day he was told about his condition. His father had come home from a work trip and he could hear it, his excitement, the thump-thump-thumping of his heart in his chest. He remembers his father taking out the stethoscope and telling him his heart was too fast, that he had to be homeschooled, that he had to live inside.

He remembers Fluffy the goldfish telling him they would always be best friends and jumping into his drinking glass. His mother had shrieked and his father had said it was too much excitement for his heart to handle. He had released Fluffy into the water behind their house later that day. His father had put his hand on the shoulder promised Ray it was for the best.

He remembers his mother taking him to Notre Dame the next day, promising she felt sorry for Fluffy and for him, and she wanted him to have a little bit of excitement. Just a little bit though, not too much, never too much. He remembers her praying for a son and he remembers hearing the thump and being scared it was his heart, but instead finding his mother lying on the ground behind him.

He remembers the day his father built the shrine and put up the garden gnome with it. He remembers the constant reminders to clean the gnome and care for the shrine while he was also cooking, cleaning, and financing the household.

He remembers the most important day of his life, when he walked out, moved to Paris with no money and threw himself to his knees and begged the landlord to let a man with no money and no job stay in his open apartments. Giving excuses and pleas, leaving himself at the mercy of the landlord.

The man sighed and threw him the keys.
