#snowellsweek2023

I'm not video editor, OBVIOUSLY, but this is not fan video either way, it's just something to celebrate the beautiful Cavanabaker friendship and their insane chemistry they gave as as Caitlin and Frost and every single Wells. This song made me think of them and the journey that 'shipping snowells' is. I could write and write and write, but all I'll say is - Thank you Danielle, thank you Tom, and thank you to every single writer, editor, artist and just simple fan who are part of our little family.

Before we get to the main part of our ship week that we’ve been waiting for, I wanted to tell you all a small story. Bear with me, I might get carried away and go on for a bit. 

It was November 2014, between episode 1.05 and 1.06 of ‘The Flash’ when I thought of the idea that would become my first Snowells fic “Safe and Sound” (posted in December!) just based off the promo that aired for ‘The Flash Is Born’ and I remember the tinyyyy handful of fans who were around back then starting to talk about the chemistry between these two characters and trying to analyze the hints and the unspoken looks and possible subtext that Caitlin knew that Harrison Wells and the Reverse Flash were the same person; we would constantly be chatting with each other and trying to gauge if there was something that could have happened pre-season 1 airing too (those flashbacks I tell you!) and us voting to come up with the names ‘SnowWells’ or ‘Snowells’ and calling all the Tom Cavanagh fans “Cavanatics” - hence one of my url’s yeaaaars ago being ‘supercavanatic’ (I was ofc a super fan of his so obviously it had to be in my name too lol) 

And then I found someone by complete chance? luck? accident? I don’t remember our first meeting properly (OOPSIE!) or how I actually stumbled upon Aislynn, but before I knew it, we were talking about songs for Snowells and I couldn’t get “Losing Your Memory” out of my head - THIS IS BACK IN 2015 PEOPLE! (was it in TVD? The Originals? Somewhere else? :p) and by the last week of May, just after the season finale aired, she posted the video for me! One of the very first Snowells fanvids belongs to our very own co-mod - totally biased fangirl moment here for me to plug her creation up there where the song is mentioned :p bc where else will I do it! We didn’t partner up together until the second year of Snowells Week, but she was there from the very beginning when I started the event that summer of 2015 and since then, it’s been two best friends, partners in crime, Snowells fangirls and creators working side by side to do the best we can for ALL OF YOU!!! I could probably go on and on and on and on about Aislynn but we’ll be here til next year then! Hee! It would however, be remiss of me, not to mention that without alllll of her gifs and banners and graphics throughout the years for each and every event, Snowells Week would look very different and not as colorful and bright and magnificent! Aislynn’s creations are a testament to her dedication; we were lucky to collaborate on some of our works together, but we need to do more for sure!!! 

I’ve been a part of several fandoms over the years, but never really felt the same sense of wonderful community like this one apart from another instance - where I was also fortunate to handle an event week (4 times total?); it doesn’t matter if we’re 5 fans or 50, the shared feelings of a show and a pairing brought us together and we were able to make something last for nearly a decade, and our ship was never even canon! Not once! Not even directly hinted at or referenced in passing! AND YET HERE WE ARE!!! (I’m actually gonna do a random breakdown post of every statistic I can find separately, within reason, maybe not everything?)

All of this has been made possible thanks to each and every single one of you, the fans who were there from day 1, the fans who joined in last year or even last week, it doesn’t matter when or how much you saw of the show or know about the characters; if something inspired you and it brought about creative expression, that makes you just as much of a fan as anyone and everyone! And if you didn’t make something one year and did the next, if you were just here to like and comment and leave a kudos and cheer us on, that is more than enough too! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it has been an amazing and wonderful journey that I won’t ever get to experience in my lifetime again; that’s the magic of tumblr! Without further ado and before I actually start crying heh... here is our final list -

The masterpost covers all of the works posted during the event, from June 19th to July 2nd! But if I’ve posted something incorrectly or missed out on an entry, let me or Aislynn know and we’ll be happy to change it! Considering the prompts were a bit free and loose this time around, I did the best I could to try and categorize them based on each year the prompt’s were chosen from to match the days for this event, and not the days that they belonged to in that respective... year? If that makes sense! 😅

Final Count - 54 new works!!! That makes this the 3rd highest event in the last 9 years to have the most amount of fanworks, coming in after 110 during year 6 and 65 in year 5!

Snowells Week 2022: Day 6 (Free Theme or the one where Caitlin and Harry celebrate Pi Day while Nash and Frost have their own shenanigans)

Snowells Week 2023

FrostNash: Year 7 + Red (Gold)

(so, day 1/color + day 7/year 7???)

Fic premise:

A red string of fate Frost/Nash soulmate story.......but it's a thread that's gold because of the song "Invisible String" by Taylor Swift where the lyric goes "one single thread of gold tied me to you".

The story takes place in season 7. Newly released from prison, Frost’s a bit unsure of where to go with her life. She has Chillblaine following her around like a lost puppy dog and she just is not interested. He won't take a hint so one night a few beers in, Frost gets a little chilly with him. As he takes off wounding his ego, Nash shows up back from the dead. Why is he back? Why did he return near Frost? Why does Frost feel so happy he's back? Are they connected more than they know? What if he's not back permanently? They'll just have to figure out if all along there was some invisible string tying them together.
