Chapter Snippet:

Barry pulled out his phone, dialing Len’s number despite knowing he wouldn’t pick up. He didn’t, and Caitlin gave him another troubled look when he pulled the phone away from his ear to stare at the screen. Len’s contact picture stared back at him with sleepy eyes, flipping him the middle finger and a grumpy smile.

“Cait, I…” But he couldn’t finish. Before he knew what was happening, his throat had closed up and he was crying. He felt himself being pulled against her, his head buried in the scratchy fabric of her coat. He fisted his hands into the back of it, clinging to her as he tried to get himself together. He couldn’t.

Summary:

If you had asked Barry a year ago where he thought he’d be now, he would’ve had it all mapped out. Fourth year of his undergrad, finishing up his degree with a thesis that was no doubt consuming his every waking thought. Fresh off his co-op at the most innovative lab in the country, he would’ve said something about the countless job offers he’d be fielding for when he finally graduated, or maybe about taking the track team to championships for the fourth year in a row and coming back with another gold medal to hang on his wall.

Instead, he’s sitting in the bleachers of the stadium watching his boyfriend score another touchdown, waiting for the game to finish so Len can pretend he doesn’t know him and Barry can pretend he wouldn’t give anything to have just a piece of this — the turf under his sneakers, the burn behind his ribs, the rush of competition.

  After an injury leaves Barry unable to run track anymore, he struggles to stay in control of his life, including his relationship with not-out football player Len.

Chapter 2 is up! I’m counting this as my ‘College AU’ square for the Coldflash Bingo from @coldflashweeks.

...and Barry smells absolutely delicious!

Summary:

"jesus christ BARTHOLOMEW!" Iris blurted out, when she opened the door to Barry's room, and the way she said it left no ambiguity whatsoever about exactly where she used capital letters and not. She slammed her hand over her eyes, trying desperately to avoid seeing her best friend's skinny, white butt.

Notes: From Tumblr: 

"amunetblack: jesus christ BARTHOLOMEW

bold-sartorial-statement: I have no idea what this is a reaction to, and I don’t even want to know, because this is a Big Mood

sproutwings: I mentally read that in Iris’s voice and my brain helpfully provided a picture of the exact expression she’d wear.

bold-sartorial-statement: #excellent addition #the flash #now i kind of want to write the fic."

...so I did! It's for the Coldflash bingo square "College AU." Contains sexual embarrassment (Iris walks in on Len and Barry having sex in Barry's childhood room).

NSFW fic in full under the cut

Summary:

Len hated publicity, but it was a part of the contract. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried for his best character smirk, before turning to the fan beside him.

"Barry, was it?" Len extended his hand, and Barry shook it, a bit too vigorously. He also didn't let go after the customary shakes, which was interesting. Len stroked Barry's pulse point with his index and middle finger, feeling the heartbeat speed up and watching Barry's eyes go wide.

Green. No, hazel. His eyes were a beautiful hazel, with brown specks around the dilating pupils.

Len let his eyes travel from Barry's face, down his body and up again. That face was now blushing a lovely scarlet. He still hadn't said a word, or made a move to let go. Len tilted his head, waiting. It took Barry five seconds to react.

"Yes! Yes, I'm Barry. Barry Allen. I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mr Snart."

"Always nice to meet a fan," Len said, letting go of Barry's hand, and dragging his fingertips across his palm. "And please, call me Len. We're going to spend a lot of time together today."

(In which Leonard Snart plays the villain on the silver screen, and Barry Allen is the lucky fan who wins a day on set.)

Notes: Written for the Coldflash Bingo Collection, for the prompt “Movie Star AU.” 

(Image description: a bingo card, with black crosses over three squares, and a red cross over the square “Movie Star AU.” End image description.)

Warnings: Takes place in the mid-1930ies. Minor reference to period typical racism, where Joe was not allowed to raise Barry. Len refers to Barry as an "invert," which is period typical and was used both derogatory and as an intra-community term. Reference to period typical homophobia, in the form of the Hays code. Minor reference to Barry's history of survival prostitution.

Series: Part 2 of My Coldflash Bingo

Summary: "Not exactly the Ritz, but it's the available accommodations," Lenny sneered. "If that's good enough for you, little prince?"

"It's not like I can complain to customer service, can I?" Barry replied, with more sass than he was really feeling. They didn't seem to be violent, and he thought he could get away with some backtalk.

"We've got a 1-800 number you can use," Smoke Guy said, sitting down on the couch with a can of beer. "1-800-KID NAPD."

In which a failed kidnapping of a college student leads to a daring rescue from an unhealthy situation, which in turn leads to years of sharing a house, and also a happy relationship.
