#something's changed

Westallen fic by SecondFromTheRight,  Chapters:1/1

Summary:

That scene where Iris nurses an injured Barry and can't help checking him out.

So okay, it was hardly optimum timing for her to indulge in a half naked Barry Allen, her best friend, and how it made her feel. But as she’d wrapped the bandages around him, as he’d held his sweater up for her, she couldn’t help noticing how he felt, how he looked.

Notes:

I wanted to try another Iris POV fic and I always really loved this scene. When Iris is wrapping Barry's torso and totally checking him out. It's only a 5 second scene but I love it. It displays so much about where Iris is mentally and it's perfect parallel to early Season 1 scenes when Barry checks out Iris.

So, I wanted to try and explore it a little - how she might have felt in that moment. I'm not sure I succeeded, honestly.

Something’s Changed closes out the album, as the most recent composition – written a week before Ken Emerson was scheduled to record his guitar parts in the studio at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts.

"I wanted to write a song about the political situation, and how I was feeling. It seemed that something had changed, and we were less loving, less tolerant, less connected. As I’m always looking to get a message across without alienating anyone in the process, I decided to write it so that it could easily be taken to be about a romantic relationship that was falling apart. After all, the final message – whether about the personal or the global is that love is the answer." Virgil says.
