anyway after last reblog, would this be a good time to mention my joint fic premise with @gracecursed which takes place between pre/post-s1 start? leonard snart has his eye on star labs tech and plans to rob it during the particle accelerator demonstration but things go awry and his crew bails so he backtracks and lies low until months after when the labs are shut down and there’s only a skeleton crew working there. (caitlin, cisco, hartley) so he goes in solo and poses as a janitor and finds the labs are looking after this cute comatose twink? OK, whatever time to catalog all the dangerous goodies he can sneak out while he’s working there.
leonard snart posing as the star labs janitor and finding out all their little secrets, and eobard hates it, but they both know who they are at that point (eobard knows who leonard snart is to the flash in his timeline and doesn’t want to mess with it so he leaves len alive and poking around much to his murderous chagrin) and are at a stalemate just sneering at each other; meanwhile len slowly builds up a friendship/flirtation with barry, and still becomes captain cold, but is caught between his desire for absolute chaos, sexy sexy larceny, and his newfound desire to be a good friend to barry and watch his back i.e, help him navigate all the nefarious shit eobard is leading him towards.
tldr: leonard snart takes a job as star labs’ sole custodial staff and not only steals the cold gun and a bunch of info on the team to make him an even bigger adversary to the flash but also makes friends (eyes emoji) with barry and has a much bigger crisis of conscience (he thought he got rid of that) than he would’ve thought possible.
