Coldwestallen fic: Saving Time
Aug. 21st, 2019 09:47 amChapters 1 & 2 now up!
(A sequel to my post-Oculus-Len coldwestallen fic ‘Stealing Time’. But you can jump in without having read that - I summarise it at the beginning.)
Fandom: The Flash (TV 2014)/DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
Characters: Leonard Snart/Barry Allen/Iris West-Allen
Tags: Post-Oculus Leonard Snart, polyamory, time travel powers, angst with a happy ending, fluff and angst, limited smut, implied/referenced past child abuse, very light Dom/sub, canon typical violence
(Chapter warnings for all tricky passages with places to skip, including for smut.) 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.”
