Characters: Leonard Snart/Iris West-Allen/Barry Allen; Mick Rory (minor char.)

Summary: Iris West-Allen is tired.

Snippet:

Iris watched Leonard walk slowly to the fireplace, leaning against it like he needed something, anything, to take all his weight.

She just waited.

Barry was the one who broke the silence, a minute later, settling next to her on the couch. “Have we been gone long?”

“About twenty minutes, for me,” she answered, watching Len. There was a desolate look in his eyes, fixed on the empty shell of the hearth. She wanted to sympathize, she really did... but he wasn’t even looking at her, and he clearly wanted to be anywhere but here, and she was just done. “Are you ready to share now, Leonard?”

Chapters 1 & 2 now up!

Snippet: On the other side of the field, Barry and Iris were laying out a picnic on a Flash-red blanket. In perfect dream logic, Len could hear them clearly, even from far away. “Open this, would you, babe?” Iris asked, holding out a bright blue bottle of champagne.

Barry reached out to accept it, his face a picture of joy - and paused. “I can’t help feeling like something’s missing,” he mused.

Iris’s mouth, which Len could also make out at a distance, moved as if she was saying Where’s Len? But what he heard was, “No. All my heroes are here.”

A chill was enveloping Len, paralyzing him against the ground.

(you haven’t told them)

Barry was suddenly standing at a STAR Labs whiteboard that had appeared beside them, with Iris still lounging on the blanket. “This used to make sense,” Barry was saying, as he scribbled unintelligible symbols in red pen on the board. “Now I don’t know what it adds up to.”

“Oh!” Iris said, with her hand in the air. “I know what it is.” They both turned to look at Len, with eyes that could see into his wretched, rotten soul. “It’s him.”

He felt the bottom drop out of the ground beneath him. He was drowning in stars.

Barry shook his head sadly, pointing at the board. “You’re unbalancing my equations, Len.”

- I posted the penultimate chapter of Mending Wall (my coldwave neighbourfic AU). ✅
- I've finished the FINAL chapter of MW and am now just waiting for my lovely beta/co-writer to comment, and then that will go up too. ▶️
- And then Mending Wall will be finished! This fic got me through some dark times in the last six months or so. I'm going to miss it. <3 The zamaya sequel is going to be fun to write, though.
- I never finished most of the Fandom Snowflake Challenge, but I still want to do a few more of them.
- I need to get working on the DCTV Gen Valentine's weekend - it's SOON. I've got one story turning into something nice, but for the other two I only have ideas...
- After that, I need to finish the prequel to the coldwestallen story (it's part-written) ↪️and get back to the coldatomwave series that I've barely started. And work on the Caitlin Snow/Lisa Snart/Amunet Black thing I've had in mind for a while... I recently realised I generally want a break from writing Leonard Snart, so that might help! (All my ships have Len in. It's something of a problem!)
- Out in the real world, I'm moving house, and need to start thinking about writing journal articles based on my recently-finished PhD thesis... Today there's snow on the ground, so I'm housebound (I can't wheel myself around on ice or snow), so I'm writing. It's nice to have a day when I can't do anything so I don't have to. As long as the snow is gone soon, so I can get back to clearing out my flat in preparation for moving!

Happy Imbolc to those who celebrate :) I need to clean my house and put up my Brighid's cross...

So I think the best way to deal with the brain gremlins that tell you you’re no good because no one comments on your fic... is just to write more. Probably. Hopefully... (I so admire those people who just ‘write for themselves’ without these gremlins. Unless those people are, in fact, entirely mythical. That’s possible too.)

So my coldwestallen hasn’t done great (based on comments - it’s done ok with hits etc), but I enjoyed writing it so much, so I’m still going to attempt the prequel. But I also have a couple of other things I need/want to write first (or soon). Including the final chapter of Mending Wall (note to self: never take breaks in WIPs - I have to reread the whole thing now - but at least that will be like reading a whole new story since I’ve forgotten a lot of it :D ) and the post-Oculus coldwave/coldatomwave that was meant to be for the last day of coldwave week but then there was Christmas and life got way too busy. And an ADHD Barry that I’m trying to make olivarry because it’s for a friend who loves them. And I’m doing some beta reading for a friend today too.

Hmm, maybe it’s ‘write in a cafe’ time!

Repeats mantra “I write for myself” in my head ad infinitum...

Current Mood: alexithymic :P

My first full-length coldwestallen fic, and it looks like it's going to be a series (since this was actually the sequel of what I was trying to write...)

Series: Did You Miss Me (While You Were Looking For Yourself Out There). Technically part two - prequel to follow soon.

Summary:

Leonard Snart reappeared in Central City a few months ago, seeking Barry’s help with strange new powers that he didn’t know how to control. In the process, he fell for Iris—and Barry.

Now they’re trying to get to know each other. But dating Leonard Snart was never going to be simple…
