Propaganda

James Stewart (The Philadelphia Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington)—Ough I saw him first in It's A Wonderful Life, where he is very charming as a suicidal family man being absolutely crushed by capitalism. But then. The Philadelphia Story, in my opinion, should get the same kind of press The Mummy does for being a bisexual dream. Now I'm not really bi (not into women) and it's honestly up for debate whether i'm attracted to men or not, but COME ON!! The movie stars James Stewart as well as Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn (and Ruth Hussey). Stewart plays a common working man, a journalist, to contrast with Grant's character, who is mega-rich. He is scrappy and hates rich people. Hot! They have a whole scene together where he's super drunk and being really physical with his acting, which I love because he is kinda wet noodle shaped. Hot! He carries Hepburn in his arms while singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Hot! He gets punched in the face by Cary Grant. Hot!!! In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, we get to see him portray an alternative type of masculinity, opposite John Wayne doing John Wayne. He is even more wet noodle-y, to put emphasis on his incompatibility with the rugged masculinity of the cow-boy, he wears an apron for a lot of the film, again, to blur his masculinity, and he gets shot. Hot! Also he's older here, if that's your thing. Long story short: He's giving librarian chic and The Philadelphia Story made me want to be poly.

Gilbert Roland (Camille, The Cisco Kid movies, The Bad and the Beautiful)—no propaganda submitted beyond pictures below the cut

This is round 2 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

"Here he is next to Grant, in what I believe to be a promotional shot for The Philadelphia Story. Please don't get distracted by Grant (or do, i'm submitting him next)."

"He’s a nice guy and a good guy and deserves all the happiness and joy ever! Classic boy next door/class president kid that everyone loves for real. Stand-up for the Little Guy vibes. With a charming fun side!!"

1. “I’m confused— what happened last night? And also, are you naked? Why are you naked?”

Barry Allen and male reader? 🤭

Barry Allen x GN!reader (no pronouns used but male reader leaning)

Sunlight shines through the cracks of your blinds, waking you up with a splitting headache.

Stretching your arms out you hit someones back, realizing you aren't alone.

“Huh?” You mumble to yourself, you didn't remember coming home with anybody last night… but wait a second, these were definitely not your bedsheets.

Looking around the room it occurs to you that this was not your home so where the hell were you and who was lying next to you.

The mystery man rolls over and it's none other than Barry Allen.

You hooked up with Barry Allen.

“Morning Y/N,” he mutters and then his eyes fly open, “Y/N?”

“Uh hey Barry,” you say sitting up in his bed, the bedsheets falling around your bare waist.

“I'm confused- what happened last night? And also, are you naked? Why are you naked?” He questions, shooting upright to notice his clothes are also nowhere to be seen, “why am I naked?”

“Guess that special speedster grade alcohol Cisco made really can get you drunk,” you chuckle awkwardly.

Moments from last night start to flash in Barry's mind, from the two of you drunkenly singing karaoke to you having him pinned up against the outside of the bar sloppily making out to clothing being shed as you stumbled through his apartment with your lips on his neck.

“So we-”

“Yep.”

“I'm so sorry Y/N I don't usually do that sort of thing and it's been so long that I've been drunk that I-” he rambles.

You cut him off with a laugh, “Barry it's okay, I don't regret anything that happened.”

“You don't?” He sighs in relief.

“No I don't,” you assure him, “in fact maybe I can borrow your kitchen to make you breakfast and we can talk about if this was a one time thing or if I can possibly take you on a real date sometime?”

Barry smiles, running his hand through his messy hair, “I'd really like that.”

“Great so how many stacks of pancakes do you need to feed that metabolism of yours? 5? 10?” You tease.

“Better make 15 just to be safe,” he jokes.

“15 stacks of pancakes coming up,” you smile, getting out of his bed to look for your pants.

He tries to be a gentleman and not stare at your naked body but damn did you have a great ass.

He really hopes this wasn't going to be a one time thing.

The Flash x male!reader :- pt.1 incorrect quotes

Barry: I just watched Y/N jump off of a spinning chair. Luckily, he wasn't hurt that badly. But the whole time, Caitlyn was screaming for help, which caused Cisco to run in to help Y/N. Just note that all of this happened in the span of six seconds.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Cisco: *Gasp* Caitlyn: wHAT?? Cisco: What if soy milk is just milk introducing itself in Spanish? Caitlyn: *inhales* Y/N, in another room with Barry: Why can I hear screeching?

[kitkatt0430]

S1 Flash AU where Cisco, being somewhat drunk at the time, learns Barry and Iris had one of those best friend marriage pacts as kids and responds by getting down on one knee immediately (almost topples over, he's not sober) and proposes marriage to Barry on the spot.

They are not dating. Cisco hasn't even told Barry about his feelings yet.

(Caitlin is laughing her ass off at this point, but she's also a little drunk too. She'd be laughing sober, too, but more politely about it.)

Barry - W-what??? Why are you...

Cisco - There's a time limit! I can't waste time waiting. I mean, Iris' relationship with Eddie seems like it's got staying power but what if they don't? I can't risk you being available to marry her when the time comes, I gotta lock you down now.

Barry - ... you like me??

Cisco - Marry me.

Barry - Um... how about a long engagement first?

Cisco - O_O Engagement? Oh my god, Caitlin! ^_^ CAITLIN! He said YES!

Caitlin - *laughing harder*

In the morning Barry solemnly informs Cisco that they're engaged now, so maybe they should go on a date? And Cisco is just trying to drown himself at coffee already, but he's sooo embarrassed until he realizes that while Barry is teasing him about the engagement, the request for a date is very real.

A Birthday Wish

Eowells x Fem reader

A/N: I am aware that i have not posted. It's been busy as all hell this week and plus balancing stories on here, but my own work is challenging, and I haven't quite gotten a routine down. I plan on posting stories that have been requested next week. Thank you for being patient! I figured in honor of my birthday being today, I'd write a little something for you to enjoy 😊

Summary: It's the Y/N's birthday, and she is trying to keep a low profile as she doesn't want to be the center of attention. Thanks to Cisco, Team Flash does find out and wants to celebrate. As she returning to S.T.A.R. Labs the man in yellow appears, she flees to meet Harrison only to find out there is more to him than she thought

Content Warnings: mentions of drinking (socially not to get drunk), kidnapping, brief gagging, being tied to a chair, and 1 very brief NSFW scene

Tags: @twilightlover2007 @eonash @yetanotherwells

Y/N awoke to the blaring alarm clock stumbling to turn it off she instictively grabbed her phone. Texts from her parents, wishing her a happy birthday already waiting for her to read. She groaned as she sat up another year, around the sun, and all she had to show for it was bad knees and a constant ache in her back.

Y/N was not a fan of being the center of attention, so she has kept her birthday a secret from her friends, not wanting them to make a big deal out of the day. Though it did not mean she didn't want to look nice. She put on her favorite teal dress that had capped sleeves and fell to her knees and put on her favorite flats, and was out the door.

When she arrived at S.T.A.R Labs, she found her friends hard at work as Barry was stopping an active robbery. She slid into her desk and brought her computer to life as Barry raced in the cortex, a huge smile on his face. "Nice work, Mr. Allen," Harrison's voice caused Y/N to look up at the man, his expression warm with a glimmer of pride causing butterflies to flutter in her stomach. "You are progressing nicely, and don't think you escaped my attention, Miss Y/L/N." His eyes met hers as smiled.

"Birthday Girl in the house," Cisco bellowed, standing up fist bumping the air. Y/N's head snapped toward him as everyone else's gaze fell to her.

"Today is your birthday?" Barry questioned brows furrowed, "Why didn't you say anything? We could have decorated the cortex and got you a cake."

Y/N sighed, "I didn't want you guys to feel obligated to do anything for me. It's just another day, nothing to have a commotion about," she shrugged, looking back at Cisco. "Spill it, how did you find out?"

Cisco bit his lip as Caitlin turned to him, "How many laws did you break doing it Cisco?"

Cisco put his hands up, "No laws were broken, I hacked into the ccpd database to look at your employee file."

Harrison's brow furrowed, "Hacking the police is breaking the law, Cisco. Regardless of how the information got out, it's out." Harrison wheeled over to Y/N and grabbed her hand, "We love you, sweetheart, and you being here another year is worth celebrating with the people who love you the most." He grabs her hand and places a kiss on the top of her hand, and Y/N was convinced her heart had stopped at the motion heat rising to her face. "Now, the four of you go on and enjoy the day off, celebrate with Y/N. I'll stay here and keep watch if something happens I'll call."

Barry changes out of his suit, as Caitlin and Cisco grab their jacket, big smiles on their faces. Y/N looked to Harrison, his eyes, a vibrant shade of blue that rendered her speechless on a good day, "You sure, we don't need to close up shop on my behalf."

Harrison took off his glasses and looked back at her, "Y/N, it's in my experience that life is short, and because of that, celebrating victories or even stopping to celebrate a birthday is worth doing. And tell you what when you're done going out and drinking Cisco under the table,"

"Hey!" Cisco grumbled, causing everyone to chuckle as Harrison smiled.

"You come back here tonight and have dinner with me. Sound good?"

Y/N's heartbeat raced as she nodded her head and stood from her seat. " That sounds lovely, Dr. Wells."

Cisco shouted, "Well, let's go. People there are drinka to be had and laser tag to play, come on!" The other 3 companions rolled their eyes as they all made their way to exit.

~later that evening~

"Shot, shot, shot, shot," the trio of Caitlin, Barry, and Cisco chanted as the burn of alcohol met her throat with the shot. She looked at the time on the phone, her eyes wide. "I have to get to S.T.A.R labs," she sat up and tried to pay, but Barry blocked her with his hand, "Come on guys, let me pay for something.

"Absolutely, not its your birthday. it's our jobs as your friends to cover birthday festivities. Plus, we want to do this because you're part of our family now."

Tears welled up in her eyes she could feel their love radiating off them, "I love you guys so much!" She rushed to give them all a hug. They held their group embrace for a minute before Y/N pulled away. "I have to go. I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Then Y/N was out of the bar heading toward a potential date with Dr. Wells.

Her mind was spinning with all the scenarios this dinner could begin when a blur of yellow sped past her into an alleyway red lightning tailing the blur. Y/N closed her eyes, "It's in your best interest to ignore what you saw." That may be true, but she could get some answers, and she would be lying if curiosity didn't get the best of her most days!

She groaned as she walked into the alleyway to be greeted with eyes glowing red, his body vibrating to the point of distorting his features. "Hello, Y/N, it's about time we meet." His voice distorted with his vibrating as well.

Y/N took a sharp inhale, "You know who I am?" She took a hesitant step forward.

He sped up to her, his chest close to her own, her breathing quickened as fear began to take over. He raised a hand to her, and she flinched, anticipating a hit that never came. Instead, his leather clad fingers grazed her cheek tenderly, his other hand moving from her side down to her hip. "I know a lot about you, Birthday Girl." Her eyes widened, and he chuckled.

His vibrations began to slow as the red dissapeted from his eyes turning into a familiar shade of blue. "Hello, sweetheart." His voice matched that of Harrison Wells, and her breaths were short and rapid as if she wasn't getting a lot of oxygen. She forced his arms away and backed away. Suddenly, the alleyway was spinning, and black was grazing her vision. The man in yellow took his mask off and revealed what she feared, Harrison Wells was the man in Yellow. Y/N's eyes rolled in the back of her head, and before her body could collapse to the floor, she was in the arms of the man who killed her best friend's mom.

~few moments later~

Y/N woke up, her vision blurred, but slowly becoming clearer, she was in a place she wasn't familiar with. As the memory from the past hour flooded her brain, she tried to jolt up and run, only to find she was strapped down to a wheel chair. Not just any wheelchair, the one Harrison uses. Panic flooding her system, she began to scream out, "Someone Help me plea -" a large hand landed firmly over her mouth, muffling her pleas for help.

"Shhhh, it's me," Harrison whispered in her ear, causing her to flinch. He moved around his hand, still placed over her mouth. "I'm going to remove my hand only if you promise not to scream and be good. Can you do that?" She nodded her head. Harrison smiled and lowered his hand he waited a moment for her to scream. When she didn't, he patted her cheek, "Good-" she spit in his face instead.

Y/N smirked as he wiped her saliva from his face. "You know I can't say I didn't deserve that. But will you let me explain."

Y/N rolled her eyes, "Why should I, Harrison? You killed Barry's mom. Why would I-" Instead of silencing her with his hands, he did so with his lips crashing to hers. She found herself kissing back as his hand slid up her thighs and up to her ample breast, eliciting a moan from Y/N. He kept teasing the area her nipples were until they became peaks, causing Y/N to get aroused.

Only for him to pull away his hand slides from her breast to her neck and up her cheek. "I'm in love with you, Birthday girl. It's why i wanted to have dinner with you. However, I couldn't justify being in a relationship with you if I wasn't honest. Will you hear me out, Sweetheart?"

She searched his pleading eyes for any lies, and she couldn't, so she nodded her head. "One condition, let me out of the chair. I can't feel like we are on equal footing if i feel like your captive."

He nods and presses a button on his chair, releasing the restraints. Was she going to really hear them out, "You killed Barry's mom."

"I did," he nodded, and he told her the whole story of how he was stuck in this time and how he fell in love with her the moment he saw her in S.T.A.R labs. He pulled her onto his lap, and she didn't move against him. His touch still provided comfort still even after all the horrible things he's done. "What are you thinking about, Sweetheart?"

Y/N pulled her bottom lip between her teeth, not looking into his eyes. "You killed a lot of people. You killed Barry's mom. How do I know you won't kill me, too?" She looked at him, "Why tell me at all? Why today of all days?"

He slid his hand down her arm, gripping her wrist, his strong hand firm, yet gentle he raised her hand up and kissed the palm of her hand tenderly. As she swore at her stomach for the butterflies fluttering around at the gesture. "I am a lot of things, Y/N, but one thing I know for certain is my love for you and my need to keep you safe. As for why today? Well, beloved, it's because what better gift to give than for you to see me all of me."

Y/N looked from his gaze for a moment and back at him. She dipped her head closer to his and pressed her lips to his briefly. "I am going to have to think about this. You're a killer, and just being with you is a risk, along with keeping your secret."

Harrison or Eobard, as she found out was his real name, nodded his head. "I feel there is a 'but'"

She nodded, "But I had one wish for my birthday this year." She rubbed his arm and moved her hand to his chest.

"What was your one wish, Y/N?" He whispered, clearing his throat impacted by her touch.

She looked him in the eyes, her smile bright, "You. I wanted you."

Eobard stood up with Y/N in his arms and sped off to his home where he placed her on her feet. He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "Consider your wish granted, Birthday Girl. I will always be yours until I'm ash in the ground. I will spend every moment of my living days proving that to you."

She smiled at his words, gripping his black sweater in her fist and forcing him down to her level for a deep kiss. She pulled away with a smirk, "Let's start with you on your knees, Speedy." She whispered against his lips, causing the older scientist to growl in response as he sped her into his bedroom where he would spend the rest of the night granting her birthday wishes.

~FIN

I hope you enjoyed it!

Speed and Skill (Kryptonian!Male Reader x Barry Allen)

Kryptonian!male reader x Cw Barry Allen 😍, simple dating headcanons maybe

Barry is a pretty smart guy - smart enough that he has the requisite common sense to date a Kryptonian.

He knows almost instinctively to avoid surprising you with touch, to keep ambient noise down, to avoid the usual sensitive vibrations that can irritate and overload you.

And later on in the relationship, you two can have conversations in super speed, and literally can make all the time in the world for each other.

But for now, you settle on both using your powers to make things easier.

Getting takeout is so much better when the food can arrive nearly instantly.

You can fly Barry to scenic views or other cities for activities!

Not to mention that Barry's position with STAR Labs means he can help you determine limits to your powers and help develop quality of life gadgets to help alleviate the sensory input your solar-radiation-enhanced receptors give.

Plus, it's nice to be with someone who GETS it.

Neither of you can get drunk, and caffeine has no effect. Barry may not be functionally invulnerable, but his body has a high tolerance for friction, which also tends to mean he doesn't get hot as easily, like you.

You both look normal, but are just so beyond it.

And Barry gets to be himself around you, not just the Flash or Barry Allen the normal guy, but the person between the two, who can speed around the kitchen and dance to music as he makes a snack.

Barry enjoys going out for food dates, since his metabolism means he's almost always in need of refueling, especially if he's not eating the supplemental energy bars that Cisco provides him.

So cafes, getting a couple of appetizers at a restaurant, hanging out and chatting - those are the usual dates.

At some points, it can be fun to like, go to fairs together and enjoy the atmosphere and walk together - although for short times since your senses can overwhelm you.

With your immense strength, it's also fun to pick up Barry whenever you like, and he enjoys being lifted like nothing

Dating Barry is fun, with moments of surprising depth.

With his cheerful personality, it's easy to forget sometimes that his mother died at such a young age and he's lived with his father in jail most of his life.

But Barry understands the world and the darker things, and isn't afraid to talk things out when they get rough - he believes in the value of communication and working things out

He'll back off if you're not wanting to talk, but if he can sense something bothers you, he'll definitely wanna see if you need to talk.

But he also does see the value of light and fun, and is so willing to have happy dates, inviting you to watch old musicals with him and dance, or go out on hikes or something.

Plus, Barry's got a lot of similar problems to you, as his powers also require intense focus and training to ensure he doesn't inadvertently speed, so he can share tips and stuff.

So really, he does understand a lot of what you know you can't quite share with someone else.

Plus he admires you so, both for you and for your powers, and you can tell with certainty that he sees you for you.

He'll often kiss your fingers with so much tenderness and softness it could make you cry, because he knows that you can crush diamonds like they were made of sugar, and he chooses to show you softness anyway.

Barry, you can already tell, loves you.

And it's because of that understanding and softness.

(And also because you can hear his heartbeat around you)

Happy New Year // The Flash // BarryCade Fluff

Summary – Team Flash are ready to ring in the New Year but a meta pops up and tears Barry away. He promises he won’t be late for the ball drop but Cadence isn’t too sure.

Words: 1207

Team Flash needed some time to unwind after the year they had. So, of course they were going to have a New Year’s party. And, with Cadence’s upbringing in Metropolis, she knew how to throw a party and she especially knew how to throw a New Year’s party.

Sure, there was the Ball Drop Bash that Jitters put on every year. But they needed some time to be able to be themselves at a party and not freak out about someone drunkenly admitting what they did when most of Central City wasn’t looking.

Cisco had grumbled an apology, muttering something about “Someone had to test the liquor for Barry to get drunk��, while Caitlin smiled serenely and placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, it’ll just be everyone who knows our identities at this party.”

Still, to be on the safe side, Cadence decided to have the party at hers and Brady’s apartment. Of which Brady was more than excited about. Then again, she was sure it was due to being able to stay up rather than having to beg and sneak his way around to do it.

Once the plans were made, Cadence teleported into Barry’s office at the CCPD, making him look over in surprise. His eyes widened ever so slightly at her appearance next to him. “What’s going on?” He asked. “You can’t just…pop into my office like that.”

Cadence’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “You run all over the city, Barry! I can blink and you’ll be in the next room and back with no thought to it.”

Barry folded his arms, leaning back in his seat. “Captain Singh was just in here; you could’ve given yourself away.” Cadence gave him a look. “Okay, I get your point. What’s up?”

“We’re having a New Year’s party at the loft—”

“—Sounds fun—”

“—And the only thing I’m asking is that you’re not going to be late.”

Barry adopted a slightly wounded expression. “What makes you think I’m going to be late?”

“Because you’re you.”

His expression became even more wounded. “It’s not like I do it on purpose!”

“I know.” Cadence held up a hand, a fireball appearing above her fingers. She bounced it back and forth over her fingertips as she continued to speak. Though Barry was sure there was a bit of an unspoken warning. “But we all need a break, you especially. And it’s one of the few times that we can all have a good time before something, inevitably, goes wrong. I just want us all to have a good time and I want you to be there.”

They were newly dating, of course she wanted him at the party.

Barry nodded, seeming to understand that. He reached across his desk and grabbed her hand. “I promise, I’ll be there.”

-

The party was going well; Caitlin, Cisco, and Harrison had all arrived on time, Brady and Conner were having a good time yelling over whatever game it was they were playing over their handheld games, even Oliver, Felicity, Roy, and Diggle had shown up on time. Iris and Joe had come by with their traditions of the West family, even Ryder had popped by to wish his ex a happy new year.

They were all mingling together and seeming to enjoy the lavish party she managed to throw in the one-bedroom apartment.

Still, the only person she really wanted there, apart from Brady, wasn’t there. Part of her understood, Barry had said he was going to stop by Iron Heights and spend some time with his dad. But then they had gotten an alert of a meta and Barry had raced off to do that, waving off Cadence’s offers to go with him to help take down the meta.

“It’s just a bank robber, I’ll be there and back before you even know it,” Barry had said confidently.

And it’s not that it was really a big deal, he was just going to be her plus one for the party. And had even made sure not to roll his eyes at Cadence’s insistence of everyone being dressed to the nines in their best suits and dresses just to stay in an apartment. Actually, Barry was the only one excited to be able to dress up.

Then the meta popped up and he had a duty to go protect the city. That was fine, she understood. Hell she could even see him from the fire escape, watching his lightning streak zip back and forth across the city as he took on…whatever it was. Still, she continued to opt to sit on the fire escape, her gown be damned. She wasn’t really enjoying the party anyway, realizing too late she hadn’t even wanted to throw one, just wanted to spend some quiet time with her son and boyfriend.

Yet, years of her mother’s influence had been so engrained in her that she couldn’t help but fall back into what was normal for her.

“Mom! Come on!” Before she knew it, Brady had wandered into their room and poked his head out the window. He clambered onto the fire escape and grabbed his mother’s hand, pulling her back inside. “We’re about to do the countdown! Come on! Come on!” As he dragged her through the window, waiting patiently as she moved her dress out of harm’s way he asked, “Do I have to go to bed as soon as it hits midnight?” He tugged at the collar of his suit, nose wrinkling in discomfort.

“We’ll see, bud,” she replied, affectionately ruffling his hair.

The two slipped back into the apartment as the countdown, led by Iris, continued.

“Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven…”

For a brief moment, Cadence wondered what would happen if she decided to teleport to New York and set the ball on fire. The thought made her smile.

“What’s so funny, mom?” Brady asked, glancing up at her.

“Nothing.”

A familiar woosh reached her ears, her hair blew around her face when Barry appeared in front of her, dressed to the nines in a tux.

“Two...One...”

“You’re la…” the words weren’t able to leave Cadence’s lips as she was silenced by Barry’s deep kiss.

“Happy New Year!”

“I’m just in time,” he murmured, making her smile before they kissed again.

"Hey, you guys want any more champagne?" Y/N walked up to Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco. It was Bart's birthday party and they were celebrating at Joe's house. "Come on, we don't want it to go to waste." He held the bottle up for Barry to see, but he shook his head. "I can't get drunk, remember? Also, not that I'm complaining or anything, because you did such great work, but champagne,chocolate-covered strawberries, oysters? Aren't the kids a little young for the aphrodisiacs?"

"They're aphrodisiacs? Who knew?" Y/N chuckles nervously as Barry gives him a look. "Bubbly?"

"Y/N?"

"What? Oh come on, there was milk and cookies here too. And cake."

"Are you trying to seduce me at our son's birthday party?" Barry asked.

Y/N sighed. "Okay, yes. Yes, I was trying to get laid at my son's birthday party by my husband."

😂 a funny or crack WIP snippet

I don't seem to have any right now? Now that will certainly have to change shortly, but for now here is the part with the most counts of the word laugh from the Flashvibe Ghost AU:

It had been Caitlin that dragged Cisco out to the bar. Ronnie was working overtime now the accelerator deadline was looming ever closer, and there was a karaoke night Cisco had been warned not to let Caitlin drag him to and get drunk at, and Barry had laughed and all but shoved Cisco out the door after her. Okay, so maybe Caitlin couldn’t sing to save her life, but neither could most of the people in this place. The point of karaoke wasn’t to be good at singing, it was to have fun, and Caitlin was definitely having fun when her turn came around again and she dragged Cisco up with her. They were both laughing when they came off stage to be replaced by a group of very drunk ladies wearing matching sashes.

😭 angst or sad WIP snippet

Now that the Flashvibe Ghost AU has a lot of contenders for:

“I’ve had nightmares about that night for a long time,” Barry said, his eyes watering. “But now I- It’s always, always, and it’s more, I don’t remember them all, but they always end the same way.” His voice cracked. “Lightning rips through my life,” Barry said. “And Dad grabs me like he did that night. His hands-” He patted right below where Cisco’s hand was, at the top of his arm. “And he tells me to run, Barry, run, just like he did that. Only- Only it’s not just Dad. It’s- It’s my mother’s voice and Iris’ and- and Joe, and you, and- and a thousand, million voices all- all screaming at me that I need to run and- and- and I- I wake up and I’m here and I’m trapped and I’m dead and I can’t.”

Thank you!

Where: Andy's (former) flat

Aindreis had been staring at the boxes for... god, he had no idea. He'd wanted to start yesterday after getting home but the only thing he'd managed was to unfold the cardboard boxes he'd gotten. Ali and him had thrown out the one they used over a year ago, thinking this was meant to be a place they were going to live in for at least a little while. Like everything, that came crashing down when Ali decided this wasn't worth it. Wasn't worth fighting for. So now, for almost three months, Andy had been stuck between memories upon memories upon memories. Every corner, every surface, every... fuck, everything had a memory of Ali. His smell had slowly faded, but he was still everywhere. He'd taken care of most of the decoration and it was impossible not to see him in everything. It wasn't sustainable.

Why hadn't he left earlier? It was stupid really. It was a mix of being too bad, too drunk, too miserable to seriously take on the harrowing task of finding a new flat. It was stupidly holding onto the silly hope that Ali would come knocking any time now, apologising and all. That didn't happen. It was not knowing if moving out would make things worse, or better. But he had to come to terms with the fact that he just couldn't stay surrounded by memories of a thing that still hurt so much. Granted, the move should've come at a better time. Doing this on two weeks of sobriety wasn't the best of choices because a drink sounded like the best way to get through this. But he'd come across this ad for a narrowboat on sale and damn, that sounded so good. Cheaper, cozy, close to the water. Except he'd bought it on a whim and he now had to move out fast.

He hadn't asked anyone for help, because he knew he would be a mess having to dig into drawers he'd avoided. Cisco, a friend he'd made while on a bender, had asked him if he wanted to hang out, to which he explained that he was trying to move out so he was a little busy. He hadn't expected anyone to show up today but as he was mopping around, trying to find the courage to finally pack up some boxes, the door rang. Eyebrows furrowed, he stood up and walked to the door. What a surprise to see Cisco behind that door.

"Hi...?" he said, a little confused. "hm, what's up?"

[kitkatt0430]

for the AU 5+ headcanons ask game, Cisco takes a leap of faith and tells Barry he's in love with him somewhere in the middle or second half of season 1. i hope it's a prompt that works for you?

I do love a good Barrisco headcanon. This'll be cute. ^_^

So Cisco tags along to karaoke night with Barry and Caitlin and instead of Linda showing up to hit on Barry, Cisco takes the opportunity while Caitlin is singing to tell Barry how he feels. And Barry is surprised - not necessary blind sided, but he's definitely having a 're-evaluating events' moment. Caitlin calls them up to sing with her before Barry can really respond. So Cisco just kinda assumes that they're gonna leave things as friends and be a little awkward about it at first.

However, Barry is aware that being left hanging sucks and so as soon as they've squared away drunken Caitlin on Cisco's couch for the night, he asks Cisco on a date. And apologizes for not responding earlier. He was surprised and taking care of their drunk friend was kinda the priority, but he likes Cisco a lot and the idea of going on a date with Cisco is giving him all the butterflies, so... Cisco cuts him off with a chaste kiss before Barry can get too into rambling mode and agrees to the date.

Their first date they start off both trying a bit too hard because they're nervous but once they realize that's why things are a bit stilted, they both laugh and unwind and it's a wonderful date.

Barry realizes that something is up with Cisco with regards to Hartley and it's more than just Hartley being a jerk to Cisco in the past. So Cisco loops Barry into the whole thing about Ronnie maybe being alive and how guilty Cisco feels about being the one who closed Ronnie into the pipeline in the first place. So Barry gets to be a supportive BF both in helping Cisco deal with his survivor's guilt and with getting info out of Hartley regarding what really happened to Ronnie the night the accelerator exploded. Hartley still winds up escaping somehow but Cisco doesn't have to bear that weight alone this time.

I think Barry would turn down the bowling double date here, citing that it's still early in his relationship with Cisco and he wants their date that evening to be just the two of them. Since Cisco is well aware of Barry's feelings for Iris, Barry wants to make sure Cisco feels secure in their relationship before doing any double dates with Iris.

During the day that wasn't, Barry and Iris do not kiss (hate that kiss anyway, any reason to throw it out) but Barry does call Cisco for help with the oncoming storm problem that's poised to decimate both Central City and Keystone. Only EoWells answers Cisco's phone because, um... Cisco cannot come to the phone right now. Barry doesn't think hard on it at the time because DANGER ahead is more pressing. But after resetting time it definitely sticks out to him as strange.

Lisa does not manage to honey trap Cisco because Cisco is flattered, but not interested and this is his boyfriend right here, isn't he so cute? Which means that the Snarts + Rory go with plan b which is kidnapping both Cisco and Barry. Cisco stalls for time until they're down to just Mick watching them and when Mick isn't paying attention Barry knocks him out and rescues Cisco and Dante. Dante comes out of the ordeal shaken but otherwise unscathed and impressed with his brother's courage. It's the first step towards mending their relationship and moving them more towards being the close & supportive brothers Cisco and Dante are in the comics.

Somehow Len does figure out Barry's identity from this (hidden camera?) and thus Barry does still have to make his deal with Len. But Len's outta luck if he wants Cisco to build him new guns. Good thing Len made blueprints off the original guns in case he had to make new ones the hard way. (Barry - that is not in any way a good thing >_<)

The experience is still traumatic enough for Cisco that it triggers his nightmares/early manifestation of his vibes of the timeline where he died. Good thing Barry is there in bed with Cisco to hold him after startling awake from that. Barry soothes Cisco back to being calm and listens to Cisco talk about the nightmare afterwards and while he doesn't know what to make of Cisco's subconscious associating Dr. Wells with the Reverse Flash, he does know that the idea of losing Cisco terrifies him. And, huh, for some reason he's reminded of how weird it was for Dr. Wells to answer Cisco's phone in the day that wasn't...

Being with Cisco mellows out Barry's 'don't tell Iris' reflex so when Eddie finds out about Barry being the Flash and wants to tell Iris the truth, Barry agrees over Joe's protests, noting that keeping her in the dark hasn't actually protected Iris the way Joe insisted it would. So the whole situation actually makes Iris & Eddie closer instead of causing the relationship drama from canon.

Finding out that Cisco's nightmare actually happened for real? Infuriates Barry. Cisco has to talk Barry down from going after Wells immediately, but Barry is just done with Wells taking away the people he loves. Killing his mom, framing his father, and now killing Cisco in another timeline? Which might also be when Barry realizes that he's fallen in love with Cisco and doesn't want to be without him.

The Iris West-Allen newspaper byline is explained by Gideon to be from the OG timeline, but it still shakes Cisco, who doesn't quite realize Barry is relieved that's not from this timeline. Eddie questions his decision to propose to Iris afterwards, but Barry pushes him to go forward regardless of what Joe might think. That timeline is gone and they should focus on living their lives for themselves, not live up to the destinies of people who lived entirely different lives from them.

Eobard still tries to break up Iris and Eddie while he has Eddie kidnapped, but Gideon nonchalantly updates the by line to West-Thawne and Eobard takes the psychic damage instead.

Eobard tries dangling the whole 'save your mother, reset to the real timeline' carrot in front of Barry but Barry talks things over with his dad and admits he doesn't want to give up the life he's building with Cisco for the life he could have had with Iris, but he wants to save his mom so much... Henry is able to talk Barry out of the time travel this time.

Cisco is of course very surprised when Barry comes back from Iron Heights and puts an end to any time ship building. They're not helping Eobard Thawne in any way. They wind up talking through everything and Barry tells Cisco he loves him.

Cisco - *heart eyes* I love you too, Barry.

Eobard escapes and tries to force Barry to cooperate anyway, but Cisco uses his vibe blasts instinctively to protect Barry. Eobard swears he'll be back, but he's concerned about risking Cisco accidentally severing him from his speed entirely - made easier by Eobard's speed still being so unstable - so he hoofs it out of town, faking his death in the process. The Harrison Wells identity is well and truly burned, so he might as well give Barry something he wants. That way it'll hurt all the more the next time Eobard takes something - someone - away from him.

Thus Ronnie and Eddie survive the S1 finale, but there's a lead in for a Rogues centered S2 with Snart getting the gang together - not just the metas from the pipeline that he rescues from Team Flash, but Hartley as well - pushing the Earth-2/Zoom story line to Season 3.

Is this character fuckable: Cynthia Reynolds, Felicity Smoak, Nora West Allen

repulsive | no | just a hug | kissable | maybe | down to cuddle | yes | absolutely | Take Me Now

i’d top them | i’d bottom for them

i’d dom them | i’d sub for them

one night stand | fuckbuds | partner | marry me

Remember how I said I had a thing for brunettes and strong women? Yeah, Cynthia definitely fits those criteria. She doesn't really seem like marriage material, but I'd definitely be dtf whenever she felt like it.

Felicity annoys me. Idk what it is, but she gives off that very specific "Straight women who likes kissing girls when drunk but thinks vaginas are gross". I don't know why, maybe it's because I met a few of those people in college, but she just gave off that vibe to me. Also I can't stand her personality.

I freaking LOVE Nora. First of all, Jessica Parker Kennedy was a major part of my lesbian awakening, and second, that vibrating hand's gotta be good for something other than threatening Cisco Ramon, if you get what I mean. I love her personality, I feel like we'd definitely get along. For me, even if she's supposed to be young, she can't be any younger than me (20), given that she's been to college, so that's a non-issue. Maybe that's just because I'm young lol.
