𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 | Miscommunication.

Masterlist

Why was everything so complicated?

Was it really too much to ask for a normal life? Just a few years ago, you were a cybersecurity analyst, spending your days trying to stop viruses from infecting the systems of the company you worked for. You lived a simple, straightforward life. It was predictable. It was manageable.

But now? Now, you were working with Flash—yes, the actual Flash—running rogue operations for Star Labs. You were breaking the law every time you helped them, hacking into some of the city's most secure systems, tracking down metahumans, and sometimes even opening portals to different dimensions. Not exactly your idea of a “normal” day at the office.

And to be honest, that was almost manageable, too. There was something exciting about the chaos. Cisco was your partner in crime, and together, you helped Barry with his mission, making sense of the bizarre world of metahumans and fighting the occasional villain of the week. The people at Star Labs, Barry, Cisco, Caitlin—they had become your family. They made the insanity feel almost… normal. Well, as normal as it could be.

But then, everything changed. Zoom came. And with him, Harry.

Harry Wells was another version of the Harrison Wells you’d known before. This one wasn’t a villain in disguise for example. But he was still strict, sarcastic, and cold.

And yet, from the very beginning, you found yourself drawn to him. There was something about the way he carried himself, something almost magnetic in the way he spoke, even if it was often sharp or dismissive. He wasn’t easy to get close to, but for some reason, that made you want to try even harder. You couldn’t quite explain it, but every time he walked into the room, your attention was pulled to him like a compass pointing north.

But things only got more complicated when you learned about his daughter, Jesse. The look in his eyes when he talked about her, the fierce determination, and the depth of his love for her—it was impossible to ignore. He would do anything to protect her, to save her from the horrors of Zoom. And that, in itself, was enough to make your heart ache for him.

Harry had been on Earth-1 for four months, working alongside you and the rest of Team Flash to stop Zoom and save Jesse. Those months were the strangest, most thrilling of your life. And through it all, Harry became more than just a teammate. There was something about the way he began to soften around you, the way he looked at you differently as time went on.

There was a warmth to Harry that you hadn’t seen when he first arrived. It was as if, despite his strict demeanor and his constant focus on the mission, you were the one person who could pull him out of his shell.

You and Harry would exchange glances across the room, your eyes meeting in fleeting moments when the others weren’t looking. It was always subtle, never enough to draw attention, but it was there—the tension that neither of you spoke about. You’d find yourself looking for any excuse to be near him, whether it was to help with a project, to share a quiet conversation, or just to sit next to him during brief moments of downtime. You had no idea what he thought of you, but you could feel the pull. You wondered if maybe he felt the same.

But no matter how strong that connection was, there was always something else that stood in the way. Harry’s mission. Jesse. Zoom. The stakes were too high. You both knew it. And so, the tension between you remained unspoken, unresolved. Every day, you waited, wondering if today would be the day that something would shift, if Harry would finally open up or if you would find the courage to tell him how you felt. But the timing never seemed right. Not when the world was still at risk, not when Jesse’s life was in constant danger.

Eventually, you succeeded in saving Jesse. The relief you felt was overwhelming, and you were genuinely happy for Harry and his daughter. Their reunion was heartwarming, a moment that made the constant fear and exhaustion of the fight worthwhile. The way he looked at her, the fierce protectiveness in his eyes, reminded you once again why you had fallen for him. He loved his daughter more than anything and would do whatever it took to keep her safe.

But the threat of Zoom wasn’t over, not entirely. Even with Jesse free from his grasp, the shadow of danger loomed over them. Harry made the difficult decision to keep Jesse on Earth-1, away from the life she had known, where Zoom’s reach couldn’t touch her. It was a choice made out of love, but it came at a heavy cost.

Jesse struggled with it from the start. Losing her home, her friends, and the life she had built on Earth-2 wasn’t easy. She was uprooted and transplanted into a world that wasn’t hers, surrounded by people she barely knew. You could see the frustration in her eyes, the sadness she tried to hide but couldn’t completely mask. 

Harry was struggling deeply with the situation, and more often than not, he sought comfort in you. You became his anchor, the one person he could confide in when the weight of it all became too much. Whether it was late-night conversations in the lab or quiet moments over coffee, you were there to listen. He shared his worries about Jesse, his fears about failing her, and the guilt that seemed to cling to him no matter how much he sacrificed.

You offered him everything you could—advice when he needed it, reassurance when his self-doubt crept in, and a steady presence when the storm around him felt too strong. You encouraged him to talk to Jesse, to be honest with her about his feelings, and to try to bridge the growing gap between them. He listened, even if he didn’t always know how to act on it. But he appreciated you—more than he ever said aloud.

Sometimes, Jesse would watch you both from a distance. She wasn’t oblivious; she saw the way you and her father interacted, the way your gazes lingered just a moment too long, the subtle shifts in your voices when you spoke to each other. She noticed how you seemed to understand him in a way that few people did, how he softened ever so slightly around you. It wasn’t hard to see the connection building between you, even if neither of you had said anything about it.

But Jesse didn’t know how to feel about it. Her father was everything to her—he was all she had left. After losing her mother, she had seen firsthand the toll it had taken on him. He had closed himself off, retreating into his work, throwing himself into protecting her with a fierceness that often left him isolated. She didn’t think he’d ever let himself love again after that. It wasn’t just about you, specifically. Jesse couldn’t stand the idea of her father being hurt again.

Because inevitably, she thought, it would happen. No matter how close you and Harry seemed, you didn’t belong in their world. Sooner or later, they’d have to return to Earth-2. That was their home, not this strange, temporary life on Earth-1. When that day came, Jesse was convinced you’d break her father’s heart. It wasn’t out of malice—it was just the way things were. You’d stay behind, and Harry would go back to his old life, left with nothing but memories and regret.

Jesse couldn’t let that happen. She loved her father too much to let him risk everything for something that felt doomed from the start. And the more she watched the way his eyes softened when he looked at you, the more determined she became to put an end to it before it could go any further.

One evening, you were working late in the lab, your focus glued to your laptop as you tweaked a new security system for STAR Labs. You were deep in concentration, fingers flying over the keyboard, when you heard a soft voice behind you.

“Hey.”

You startled slightly, lifting your head to see Jesse standing a few steps away, looking hesitant. She wasn’t usually one to hang around the lab this late, so her presence caught you off guard.

“Oh, hi,” you said, blinking at her. “Didn’t hear you come in.”

She stepped closer, her arms crossed over her chest. “What are you working on?”

You gestured to the screen. “Oh, just reprogramming the security systems. I created a new line of code to optimize the motion detectors, and I’m building an app so we can get alerts for any intrusions directly on our phones. It should save us a lot of time.”

Jesse tilted her head slightly, her lips twitching into a faint, almost amused smile. “You sound like my dad.”

You chuckled, a little nervously. “Yeah, I get that a lot.”

There was a moment of silence, and you noticed the way Jesse shifted on her feet, her gaze flickering from you to the floor and back again. She was hesitating, which wasn’t like her. Jesse was usually straightforward, rarely one to hold back. Whatever was on her mind, it was something big.

“Speaking of my dad…” she started, her voice soft but steady. Her eyes locked on yours, and you felt a sudden tension settle in the room. “Y/N, I’ve noticed you’re… close to him.”

Your heart skipped a beat, and you froze, your fingers hovering over the keyboard. This was it. The moment you’d been dreading. Was she going to ask you if you liked him? If you had feelings for him? And if she did, what would you even say? You weren’t ready for this conversation, not now, not ever.

Jesse took another step closer, her expression hardening. “Actually, I don’t like it.”

Her words hit you like a punch to the gut, and you stared at her, stunned. You hadn’t expected that. Not the bluntness of it, nor the sudden coldness in her tone.

“Whatever you’re thinking, whatever you feel for him,” she continued, her voice firm now, “stop. Just… stop.”

You swallowed hard, your mind scrambling for a response, but no words came. You just sat there, staring at her, trying to process what she’d said.

She wasn’t finished. “Look, I know my dad can be… intense. And I know he trusts you, which is rare for him. But he’s been through enough. We’ve been through enough. And I can’t let you—” She paused, her voice faltering slightly before she straightened her shoulders and met your gaze head-on. “You can’t date my dad. My dad is off limits.”

With that, she turned on her heel and walked out, leaving you alone and stunned. The words echoed in your mind, sharp and heavy. You sat frozen for what felt like minutes, trying to process what had just happened. Jesse’s bluntness, her unwavering determination—it all left you reeling.

That night, sleep was impossible. You lay awake, staring at the ceiling, turning her words over and over in your mind. You can’t date my dad. It wasn’t just a demand; it was a line drawn in the sand, one you hadn’t even realized you were approaching.

The truth was, you loved Harry. There was no denying it, not to yourself. What you felt for him was real and overwhelming. It wasn’t some fleeting crush; it was deeper than that, something pure and unshakable. But the fact that Jesse had forbidden you from being with him broke something inside you. It hurt, and that hurt quickly gave way to anger.

What right does she have to tell me who I can and can’t love? you thought bitterly. But as quickly as the anger came, it was replaced by understanding. Jesse wasn’t just being possessive or unreasonable. She had lost her mother, and that kind of loss left scars. Maybe she wasn’t ready for her father to move on, to let someone else into his life. Maybe she was afraid of seeing him hurt again.

And the harsh reality was that she wasn’t entirely wrong. Neither you nor Harry had ever said how you felt to one another. You’d danced around it, lived in the tension of unspoken words, but neither of you had been brave enough to cross that line. What if Jesse was right? What if this thing between you was doomed to fail before it even began? What if starting something only to watch it fall apart would hurt Harry more than either of you could bear?

The thought left you hollow. You cared about Jesse’s well-being, and you respected her enough to take her words seriously, no matter how much they stung. So, you made a decision. As much as it hurt, as much as it tore at your heart, you would put Jesse first. You would give her the time she needed to heal and adjust. For now, that meant keeping your distance from Harry.

It wasn’t easy. The next day, when Harry walked into the lab, his sharp eyes scanning the room before landing on you, your instinct was to smile, to greet him as you always did. But you stopped yourself, offering only a curt nod before diving into your work. It wasn’t much, but even that small restraint felt like a monumental effort. You avoided lingering in conversations, kept your interactions strictly professional, and found excuses to leave the room whenever things grew too comfortable between you.

You could feel his confusion. He wasn’t blind; he noticed the shift in your behavior almost immediately. You could see it in the way his brows furrowed, the way his tone softened when he called your name, as if asking silently, What’s wrong?But you couldn’t bring yourself to explain. What could you say? That his daughter had forbidden you from even thinking about him that way? That you were stepping back, not because you wanted to, but because it was the only thing you could do to keep the fragile balance intact?

So, you buried your feelings, swallowing the ache in your chest every time he looked at you like he wanted to understand, like he needed to understand. 

At first, Jesse was relieved that you had taken her words to heart and respected her wishes. She had expected to feel triumphant, as though she had protected something precious. But as the days turned into weeks, she began to see the ripple effect of her decision—and the weight of its consequences.

She saw it in you first. You weren’t the same. The spark in your eyes, the quick wit and humor that always brightened the lab, was fading. It was subtle at first—your smiles didn’t quite reach your eyes, and your laughter sounded just a little hollow. But soon, even the energy you brought to your work seemed to wane. You still gave your all, but Jesse noticed the difference. It was like you were carrying a weight you couldn’t set down, and every day it dragged you a little lower.

But what truly shook her was how her father was affected. Harry wasn’t one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, but Jesse had grown up with him; she could read him like a book. The confusion in his eyes every time you left the room, the hesitance in his steps when he moved toward you, only to stop himself. He looked like a man who was lost, unsure of what he’d done wrong but too afraid to ask.

When you weren’t around, Harry’s behavior only made things clearer. Jesse often overheard him asking Cisco or Caitlin where you were or if you were coming back to the lab soon. His questions were casual on the surface, but his voice carried an unmistakable edge of longing. And every time he got an answer he didn’t want to hear—Oh, Y/N left for the day, or She’s working remotely this week—his face would fall just a little. Jesse could see it, even when he tried to hide it behind his usual gruff demeanor.

It hit her like a punch to the chest: she had done this. By asking you to stay away, she had hurt not just you, but her father too. The connection between you two was undeniable. Her dad didn’t just trust you; he relied on you. He looked at you the way she imagined he must have looked at her mom once, with a softness that she had rarely seen. And now, thanks to her, that light in his eyes was dimming.

The guilt grew heavier with each passing day. Jesse couldn’t help but reflect on who you were—the way you treated her, the way you had supported her father through everything. You weren’t just brilliant at what you did; you were kind, funny, and endlessly patient. You had never once treated Jesse like a burden, even when she was at her most difficult.

And now, despite how much it clearly hurt you, you had respected her wishes. You had stepped back, even though it was breaking your heart. It was clear to her now that you weren’t some fleeting crush or a distraction. You cared about Harry deeply, and from the way he was falling apart, it was obvious that he felt the same about you.

Jesse regretted everything. She had been so caught up in her own fears and insecurities that she hadn’t stopped to consider what her dad needed, what made him happy. And it was painfully clear that you made him happy.

One evening, after watching her father retreat to his workshop for the third time that week, his expression heavier than she’d ever seen it, Jesse made up her mind. She couldn’t stand to see him like this anymore. She had to fix what she had broken.

Late the next morning, Team Flash gathered in the speed lab for a training session. You had been busy working on a new diagnostic program but decided to drop in and see if there was anything you could help with.

Stepping into the lab, you scanned the room, your mind already buzzing with ideas. Before you could ask Cisco or Caitlin what they needed, Jesse entered as well. She spotted you almost immediately and walked toward you with purpose.

“Y/N, can I talk to you?” she asked, her tone hesitant but serious.

Your stomach flipped. Out of instinct, you shot a quick glance at Caitlin and Cisco, the two people you’d confided in about your complicated feelings for Harry. Caitlin gave you a small, reassuring smile, silently encouraging you to go. With a quiet nod, you followed Jesse to a quieter corner of the room, near a cluster of technological equipment Barry used for his speed tests.

Jesse stopped and turned to face you, fidgeting with the edge of her sleeve. “Y/N, I… I wanted to talk about my dad.”

Your breath hitched, but you tried to play it cool. “Don’t worry,” you said quickly. “I’ve been keeping my distance, just like you asked.”

Her eyes darted to the floor for a moment before she met your gaze again. “Yeah, um… about that. I wanted to say I’m sorry for asking you to do that.”

You blinked, taken aback. “You’re… sorry?”

Jesse nodded, her expression conflicted. “I was scared. My dad doesn’t open up easily, you know? And when I saw how close you two were, I thought it wasn’t serious. I was worried you might hurt him—whether you meant to or not.” She hesitated, her voice dropping. “He hasn’t been the same since my mom died. It was hard watching him go through that, and I couldn’t bear the thought of him getting hurt like that again.”

Her words hit you like a weight to the chest. You swallowed hard, unsure of what to say. “I understand,” you said softly, feeling a deep empathy for her.

“But now,” Jesse continued, her voice steadying, “I see how much this is hurting him. And it’s hurting you too. I’m sorry, Y/N. I shouldn’t have interfered. If you want to… I don’t know… date my dad, I won’t stop you anymore. As long as you make him happy, that’s all I care about.”

For a moment, you just stared at her, processing everything she had just said. The apology, the admission, the weight of her trust—it was all a lot to take in.

“Thank you, Jesse,” you said finally, your voice wavering with emotion. “That means a lot to me. I… I really do care about your dad. I love him, actually. But…” You hesitated, unsure if you should admit the rest.

“But what?” Jesse prompted, her brows furrowing.

You gave a small, bittersweet smile. “We’ve been circling each other for months, and nothing has ever happened. I don’t think he feels the same way."

Before Jesse could respond, another voice cut through the air, making your heart stop.

“Who said I didn’t?”

You froze. Slowly, you turned toward the source of the voice, and there he was—Harry. He was crouched behind the equipment just a few feet away. He had been working on something, but judging by the look on his face, he’d heard every word of your conversation.

Your cheeks flushed bright red. “Harry?” you whispered, your voice barely audible.

“I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop,” he said, his voice steady yet laced with a hint of vulnerability. “But I need to correct something.”

Behind you, the chatter in the Speed Lab had come to a halt. Team Flash, ever nosy, had shifted their focus entirely to your conversation, watching the scene unfold with wide-eyed interest.

Harry took another step toward you, his intense gaze locking with yours. “I feel the same way, Y/N,” he admitted, his voice dropping lower. “I’ve felt it for months. I just—” He hesitated, his fingers flexing slightly at his sides. “I’m not good with words when it comes to… feelings. And I didn’t know how to tell you.”

Jesse stood nearby, a knowing smile spreading across her face. “Ooookay,” she said, raising her hands and stepping back with a playful smirk. “I think that’s my cue to leave. You two need some privacy.”

With that, she spun on her heel and walked out, leaving you and Harry alone. The tension in the air was almost tangible, thick with all the words that had finally been spoken and the ones still hanging between you.

You couldn’t take your eyes off him, your heart pounding like a drum. “Is it true?” you asked softly, your voice trembling.

“Yes,” he said firmly, his expression softening as his lips curved into a small smile. “I love you, Y/N.”

The world seemed to freeze at his words. For months, you’d dreamed of hearing them, but now that they were real, they felt even more overwhelming. “You… love me?”

“I do,” he said, stepping closer until there was barely any space left between you. “I’ve loved you for so long, and I’ve been a fool to keep it to myself.”

Before you could say another word, Harry reached out, gently cupping your face with his hands. The touch was tender, his calloused fingers warm against your skin. Then, without hesitation, he leaned in and kissed you.

The kiss was soft and hesitant at first, but it deepened as the weight of all your unspoken feelings melted away. You felt yourself sinking into him, your hands instinctively clutching his arms for balance as the world around you disappeared.

Behind you, the Speed Lab erupted in cheers and whoops of joy. Cisco’s loud exclamation of “Finally!” was followed by Caitlin’s laughter and Barry’s playful claps.

“About time!” Cisco added, his voice brimming with satisfaction.

But none of it mattered. The noises, the world—it all faded into the background. All you could feel was Harry, his arms around you, and the overwhelming sense of happiness that flooded your chest.

The Forgotten

Hello small surviving members of the Arrowverse fandom. Would anyone be interested in hearing about my cannon compliant spin off au that functions as a slight world building fix it? For the record I’m gonna keep working on it regardless if anyone is interested lol this is purely self indulgent. But if people are interested, I’ll happily share art, designs, thought processes, writing updates and alike. If no one’s interested, I’ll probably still post the fics like a year from now at my current rate.

Now that that’s out of the way; what is this Spin-off au? Basically it is a Legends of Tomorrow-like show/story that follows many of my personal favorite side characters who were written off and never mentioned again aside from ex-girlfriend jokes (Lisa) and anniversary cameos (Sin). The main cast of Sin Simone (Red Canary), Rory Regan (RagMan), Lisa Snart (Golden Glider), Julian Albert, Patty Spivot, Jesse Wells (Jesse Quick) and possibly Cat Grant in the city of Platinum Flats going through their own journeys and eventually joining together to create their own super-team.

I can’t promise any full fics being posted anytime soon because 1st of all, I’m busy lol, 2nd of all I’m actually trying to do a lot of research to match the writing style of the Arrowverse shows (with hopefully less holes lol) while also bringing in lore and characters from the comics, and 3rd of all, I’m a perfectionist and a slow writer lol so it might take a while.

But please, if anyone is interested in hearing more, let me know!!

This is self-made. Date: 24.04.2024.

I did not expect to see Roy Harper up there but... I can see it?

Yes, I realise that the abbreviation "WW" is somewhat... not great but bear with me.

I assume no guarantee or liability for the completeness, correctness and accuracy of this chart despite my best efforts.

Includes fanfictions in all languages available on Ao3, NOT English only.

Percentages were rounded up or rounded down to natural numbers for easier comprehension.

Results for the pairing "Wally West/Reader" and "Wally West/You" were added up, as were the results for female and male OC's.

Poly ships were included but did not make the chart.

More charts will follow. :)

Want to have a chart for different pairings, headcanons etc. in your favourite fandom? Send me an ask!

[arrow-v-flash-polls]

If a one vs one fight were to ever happen between Speedy and Jesse Quick which of the two would be the victor or would the match end in a tie?

All I am is yours

Warnings: None really, except maybe a little description of being at a NICU in Denmark, don’t know if that could be upsetting for someone.

Pairings: Harry x Tess, besides that, none, just Harry appreciating his little daughter

Word Count: 1,1K+

A/N: Thanks to Sara I had this idea! I work at a NICU as a nurse, and honestly, I love it even when it’s tough to see them with all the tubes and cords attached to them.

GIF found on Google, all credit to the owner!

A little explanation on the medical words I use, and what we do for the babies. 

Feeding tubes: they all get feeding tubes because they are not strong enough to eat on their own. It goes through the nose and down into the stomach. They eat every 2-3 hours. We teach the parents to be able to give them food on their own during the day and evening - we take the night shift. 

CPAP: CPAP is short for a continuous positive air pressure machine. It’s connected to them through their nose, they have them on at all times, except for when we move them around sometimes. It unfolds their lungs by putting constant pressure into the lungs. They don’t necessarily all get this, but a lot of them do. 

Electrodes and Pulse Oximeter: The electrodes are three cords that we put on their chests in order to see their heart rate, it’s essentially a simplified EKG. A Pulse Oximeter is a cord that we wrap around one of their feet or hands. It measures the amount of oxygen (saturation) in their blood, and it can also measure the heart rate - therefore pulse. 

Skin to skin: So we don’t pick up premature babies like we do mature ones when they get upset. Usually not until they’re week 33-34, so we mostly put a heavy hand on them, to make it seem like they are still in the womb, it gives them comfort. We do condone skin to skin though! This part is very important to also give them comfort, get to know their parents, and help them grow and stay warm. They are also wrapped closely to give comfort.

I think that’s it, sorry it got a little long, I just wanted to make it a little easier for you to understand my work and what I’m talking about in this little piece.

---------------

Harry had barely slept for the past few days. The noise from the machines, the alarms going off, and the constant disturbance of people in their room kept him up. Tess was getting all the rest she could. She had just given birth to their beautiful daughter. The only thing was that Jesse decided to come out a little too early and be born prematurely - which caused them to be stuck in the hospital. 

He looked down at his daughter, the tubes and cords were making her seem even smaller than she already was. He put one of his hands over her tiny body, feeling her chest rise and fall. She stirred a little and stretched her arm up in the air, only for it to land on her cheek grabbing at the CPAP machine connected to her. A big smile slowly grew on Harry’s face as he took all of Jesse in. He wanted nothing more than to pick her up in his arms and hold her close, but he had to settle for a hand on her body. 

“You are my everything, Jesse Quick,” His heart fluttered at the sight of her. “All I am is yours to keep from now and till forever,” He smiled down at her. He looked over to his wife, who was using the time Jesse slept, to sleep on her own. She was sleeping so soundly, and Harry was overwhelmed with joy. He had so many feelings inside of him, so much love for these two. It was hard for him to contain himself, and it was hard for him to express himself, but Tess knew him. She knew how he felt, even when he didn’t.

There was a knock at the door prying his eyes away from his wife and daughter. 

“Oh, Harrison you are awake,” The nurse smiled at him as she walked over to them. “Last time I popped my head in you were all sound asleep,” She laughed and Harry gave her a smile back. 

“Yeah, her monitor started beeping. It woke me and I had to check on her and make sure she was okay,” He responded as a yawn threatened to break free. 

“Have you slept much during the night?” She asked as she started to unpack Jesse to take her temperature. Harry had become fond of their nurse. She had been there from the beginning and was in the delivery room when Jesse was born. 

“Not really,” He said, and the yawn he tried to hold back escaped. His body decided to emphasize he didn’t sleep at all. “But it’s okay Lily,” He continued quickly after seeing their nurse’s expression taken over by concern. 

“You do need your sleep, but now that you’re awake, do you want to change her and lay with her while she eats?” Lily asked as the thermometer started beeping. “She could use the warmth, she’s a little bit cold,” She continued as she looked at the temperature. 

“Yes, I would love to,” Harry quickly answered. He’d always choose time with Jesse over sleep. He could sleep when he got old. Lily stepped aside to let Harry take place before Jesse’s bed. He fumbled a little bit with the diaper, it was all so new to him. 

“Okay, so the diaper under her before you open the old and toss it,” Lily gave him a reassuring smile. “We wouldn’t want there to be a mess so we have to change the entire bed,” She laughed lowly, causing a chuckle to escape Harry’s lips. He lifted Jesse’s tiny body from under her hip to put the diaper under her. He took the small squares of cloth to clean her from the poop she had made. “Good, now if you lightly dap at her bottom you can close the diaper,” She guided him and he did as he was told. 

“Very good Harrison, you’re slowly getting the hang of it,” She praised him for his work. Harry felt foolish for not being better at it, and even more foolish for being so happy from her praise. He was a genius with 7 PhDs, but changing a diaper was difficult.  “Now if you take your shirt off and get settled in the bed, I’ll get her ready for you,” She gave him a big smile and Harry pulled his shirt over his head. 

He laid down in the bed and put some pillows under his arms, as Lily was starting to take Jesse off the monitor so she could move her a little easier. 

“I’m thinking we lay her on her stomach on you, helps her breathe a little easier and gives her more warmth from you,” Lily informed Harry as she moved Jesse towards Harry. Jesse was starting to get upset and made a bunch of noises. She slowly turned Jesse to lay on her side on Harry, laying her right cheek on his chest, before she turned her body to lay on her stomach. Her legs were curled up under her, and she quickly calmed down as she breathed calmly on his chest. 

“She’s starting to know your scent, and you for that matter,” She continued and gained a goofy smile from Harry. Lily started to swaddle Jesse with small blankets and a rolled-up cushion under her feet. “I know you’ll get really warm from this, but it’s the best to do for her,” She continued to inform Harry of what she was doing. It gave him a sense of understanding, why she did what she did for Jesse. “May I?” Lily gestured to take Harrison’s hand in hers to guide it over Jesse’s body. 

“Of course,” He smiled and let her. 

“The weight of your hand will give her some extra comfort,” Harry’s hand covered Jesse’s entire body, and he was yet again reminded how small she was. Lily put on the syringe that fit her feeding tube and checked for air in her stomach before pouring milk into the syringe. “Here you go, just call for me when you’re done,” She gave him the syringe in his free hand and left the room. 

Harry looked down on Jesse. Her lips were a little pursed from her cheek being squished by his chest. He could clearly hear her breathing from the machine. 

“I can’t wait to see you properly Jesse,” He sighed as he gave her something to eat. She started to lick into the air, her tongue popping out once in a while, causing him to chuckle at the adorable girl. He looked over at Tess, who was still sound asleep. “I can’t believe we made such a beautiful miracle, my love,” His hand leaned over to Tess’ hand and he squeezed it. 

“You’re going to love your mom. She’s quite amazing, caring and so very loving,” He whispered. “But you Jesse Quick, you are one of a kind,” A tear formed in the corner of his eye, his life was truly complete.

Not to show my Tumblr fandom age and level of cringe but I’ve been thinking about Pacific Rim recently (or really just my ship (Maco x Raleigh) and drift compatibility as a concept) and since everything always circles back to Gilmore Girls for me on this blog it got me wondering who is and isn’t drift compatible and what that means.

Like, drift compatibility isn’t about romantic compatibility or that kind of soulmatism, it’s about having someone who you klick with on such a fundamental level that you could pilot a giant mecha together. Raleigh copilots with his brother before he meets Mako. One robot is run by a father-son duo. One is run by more than two. It’s not about romance but strong, personal and stable bonds between two or more people.

So with that clarified I think Rory and Jess are 100% drift compatible and that Rory isn’t drift compatible with any of her other boyfriends. Not because of shipping but because Jess is explicitly written to have an instant understanding with Rory and connection of the mind. That being said Rory and Lorelai are also drift compatible, but not Lorelai and Luke (again, not shipping related I love java junkie I just don’t think they could pilot a jaeger together). Emily and Richard are drift compatible and while Emily sorely wishes to be compatible with her daughter and/or granddaughter but she just isn’t. Lorelai, Sookie and Michel are drift compatible, both just the women and as a trio. I actually think Paris could’ve been drift compatible with Tristan at some point (though I really don’t ship them) and when she meets Doyle they are so drift compatible it’s funny. Also she might be drift compatible with her nanny. Madeleine and Louise are a lock for drift compatibility. Miss Patty and Babette are probably drift compatible too. All of Hep Alien could possibly run a suit together but after Dave leaves and tensions rise between Zack Brian and Gil Zack would break compatibility with and for everyone (that band is a unit and can only pilot a jaeger as a unit). Taylor Doose is convinced he can pilot a whole mecha by himself (he cannot).

love this stupid show

☕️ Jesse should've been terrified of being a speedster, given her experience being kidnapped by an evil speedster for months, not super excited from the get-go

OF COURSE!

Quick sidetrack: I need to rewatch seasons 2 and (especially) 3 but if I remember correctly— Jesse never wanted to be a superhero, she just wanted a normal life!

Makes me wonder if she kind of triggers herself sometimes with them, like, the sound created when she zips into a room or smth

oc halloween challenge 2024 (Day 11): Ghost AU

Sometimes when we die, we don’t leave. Tell us the unfinished business that keeps your ocs ghost on Earth, who your oc would haunt, how they would haunt, or anything else related to your oc being a ghost!

What If The Accelerator Killed Morgan?

The last thing Jesse expects to find on her birthday is a ghost girl trapped in STAR Labs who no one else can see…sharing her face, birthday (October 11th), and even her name.

…well, birth name. All that Mystery Ghost Girl can say about her preferred name, “Morgan”, is that it was her father’s doing.

Her father…who she doesn’t know is evil. And dead (they hope). And whose accelerator not only killed her, but also left her with powers posthumously to boot.

And here Jesse thought life couldn’t get any more complicated.

Happy (Belated) Birthday, Morgan & Jesse!

~~~~~

Leanna was hired by Dr. Harrison Wells to be his little helper knowing she also has a background in science and tech, with a strong heart. That moment he knew she was someone who keep an eye on.

She quickly became friends with Caitlin, Ronnie, Cisco and Hartley having other scientists and engineers of S.T.A.R. Labs join in on the fun of their friendship. Over her months, more like a year, of working with them whole team she developed a huge love and respect for them. Lea grew close to Dr. Wells having a small crush on the older man, little did she know he felt the same way. Soon enough the night of Explosion came and everything changed.

Later on Leanna was sent to recruit Barry Allen since doctor Wells wanted to keep the coma patient at Star Labs instead, she agreed knowing that they can probably help him out when the time came. 9 months later Barry woke up and training with his speed began! One night, Harrison spoke into the microphone saying, “Run Barry Run!” for the first time as his hand causally slipped onto Lea’s in a comforting grip and she smiled back, leaning into his touch.

Later on the two started rather quickly dating over that. Dinner dates, kisses shared, hand holding, smiles, late night talks and etc. Love was in the air, friendships grew, Team Arrow came to visit Central City aka Oliver, Felicity and Ray, Team Flash was at its highest point but The Reverse Flash was out there…

Later Leanna gets a feeling that Harrison is hiding something from her and she confront him about him, Harrison tells her it’s nothing. Until a few days later while she’s walking down the hallways one morning at the Lab she leans against the wall noticing how difficulty tougher the wall felt and stumbles into room in between the wall where Thawne kept his suit and Gideon. EoWells became the new name.

Leanna is in shock finding the information as Gideon greets her saying “Hello Ms O’Conner. But you are only that last name during this lifetime. How may I be of assistance ma’am?” Leanna ask her the questions she has. But before she can ask about article and Eowells real family history, her boyfriend sneaks in behind. Eowells was standing, as he sat in Lea his famous chair and questioning her action by entering the Time Vault.

Eowells grumbles and pinching his nose, “Lea my dear, I love you. I really do but I can’t believe you’ll ask Gideon AND NOT ME!”

Leanna glares, “Oh please, Harrison or should I call you Eobard? I asked you earlier and you refused to answer me! If you really wanted my help or something, you could’ve been honest…do you care about me or am I just a game in your plan to build Team Flash..?”

“I-I do care! I can’t have them knowing yet, I promise you I will tell them about who I am and we can be together forever.”

“A week.”

“I’ll execute the best to way to tell them.”

“Or I tell the team.”

“You wouldn’t dare, I can tell your bluffing my dear.”

That night lead to screams, heartache and anger for the pair. Eobard told her bits and pieces of his story, but not everything keeping it a lie and Leanna fell for it. He hated seeing her that way, noticing the light and laughter flickering out of his girlfriend that night, pulling Lea into his arms, he kissed her and begged for forgiveness. She didn’t even know what to think, but let it slide hoping he kept his promise.

As weeks went on, Eobard didn’t say a word to Team Flash BUT Leanna did! She revealed his identity to Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe and even Iris as they all worked against him. Eddie died sadly. Of course they defeated Reverse Flash, Barry went back in time to see his mother and they created a wormhole in Central City. Ronnie and Barry stopped it as Leanna held Caitlin in her arms knowing how heartbreaking it must’ve been for her friend.

(Season 2–3)

Months later, everyone was working once again at Star Labs after a break from the chaotic year. Leanna worked with Joe and Caitlin most of those months as a biologist and detective. She became friends with Penny and her sister Patty, eventually finding a video tape for Barry and handing it to him. On there the video tape Eobard Thawne aka FAKE Harrison Wells confession to the murder of Nora Allen and his faults towards his relationship with Leanna O’Conner, saying that her and Barry have inherited a chunk, if not most of S.T.A.R Labs.

Everything was turning up nicely until two visitors from EARTH-2. Jay aka ZOOM and Harrison ‘Harry’ Wells. The moment Lea lay her eyes on Harry in Star Labs, she felt like she saw a ghost, like she was gonna throw up. The girl didn’t know what to think the long hours she spend standing near Wells and trying to get to know him. Cisco hated him, saying he was a grump and a total dick while Lea kept watch while working on a few test items noticing a look in Harrison Wells eyes. Anger, confusion, sadness and annoyance. The same way she felt.

She told Cisco, “Sooner or later, every man shows himself.” And Harry did. He was a little nicer in a way with Team Flash, being mostly closer to Cisco and Leanna. The three could be bickering over everything! However Harry seemed to care about her, finding her presents kind and lighten up his mood every once in a while. He barley heard her laugh or smile too often but when he did, he smiled.

One night, Leanna was closing the windows in Star Labs and checking up on the rooms before leaving it all to Harry. She stumbled into one of the labs searching for jacket that held a small brown notebook she lost earlier during the week. “Ah ha! I knew I left it in here…” She said with a small nod, noticing a small black notebook that was open with nice handwriting inside. She smiled.

Harry walked into the lab with a half nod and taking a seat near the sets of tables, grabbing his black markers and a white notepad scribbling down an idea. He felt her eyes on him and chuckled slightly, “Yes, O’Conner?”

“Is this yours?” She asked with a small half smile, taking a seat in one the stools pointing to the notebook.

He turned around questioning her query and eyes widen at the small black notebook, snatching it of the table and closing it. He glanced between the notebook and her before he asked, “What did you..see? In this case of the notebook, O’Conner.”

“Just your handwriting, and a narrative in the way you wrote a note, like a storyteller. And a name.” She replied honestly, pushing her hair out of her face. Harry questioned her knowledge cue her to speak more and she continued, “The name, Jesse, popped up on that small note.”

“…my daughter, Jesse. I told you and your team that Zoom took her, while some of his Metas came here to Earth 1. I miss her…”

“I can tell you do. I have a few nieces and nephews, I know how it feels to miss children you love…”

“Why are you so nice to me?”

“Because, Harry, you aren’t like the others. I can see the pain and anger in yours eyes after losing your light and laughter, being your daughter…I know that because I felt it. When your told the truth and something you love is taken from you..it hurts.”

“You were hurt before, weren’t you Lana?”

“Yeah. I was hurt before by Thawne, friends while I was child..even told that a woman couldn’t do much better than a man in my line of work.”

“They’re idiots.”

“What?”

“I’ve haven’t known you long but I can tell enough. Your very smart, kind, understanding and a badass with a gun. Hell, you shot down three Metas this month and cuffed them in front of the group like it was nothing. You show a lot of love and compassion towards everyone.”

“I was taught well. But don’t sell yourself short, Harry. Your a genius and gentle, a bit grumpy but it adds to your charm. You’re very understanding about a lot of things and see a lot compassion in people, notice things that they don’t.”

It was like sparks flew between that in that moment, of course they pair was attractive to each other after some time working together but this month felt stronger than ever. Harry saw a light flickering return in her eyes while Lea saw a balance of hope returning in his. Lea’s heart fluttered softly for him and Harry’s heart beats strongly for her. Two kept their emotions in control, not knowing what to say or do about this feeling..

Until Christmas time came near and Cisco hung mistletoe in Star Labs cortex, in hopes to have Caitlin and Jay along with the other couples to celebrate and kiss. But Cisco Ramon didn’t expect to walk into the Cortex, to find Harry Wells hands cupped onto Lea O’Conner’s face with such joy as her arms wrapped around his waist lean in for another sweet kiss. The two were in their own little world all smiles and no sorrow..

Cisco cleared his throat with his hands on his hips and yelled, “Well, well, well, if it isn’t The Grump and The Lady!”

The two snapped their heads towards Cisco in utter shock and slightly annoyance wanting to kick him out of the room. “Ramon!” Harry yelled with his hands still gently cupping his lady’s face, “Don’t you knock?!”

“Seriously, Cisco?!” Lea yelled at the same time as Harry did grumbling under her breath.

Cisco just laughed while also in shock wanting to know everything about this situation. He swore to not tell a soul but it didn’t last long as he told Barry, Iris and Caitlin, even Joe and Jay found out. They didn’t know how their relationship started exactly but it did and it felt just right. To add onto the dynamic, it was honestly a adorable height difference, if you ask Caitlin.

The two were inseparable, with Harry always standing behind her as his hands, placed comfortably on Lea’s shoulders as if it was the most normal thing in the world. She would smile taking one of his hands, placing a gentle kiss onto her knuckles that always tinkered with items in the lab. They weren’t big on PDA however the couple always seen giving small kisses on each other’s cheeks and forehead.

Of course, they bickered and fought like an old married couple at least twice a week, even over the smallest things.

~~~~~

Plenty of things happened, Harry got shot by Patty, a few metas, Jay revealed to actually be Zoom, and of course the famous trip to Earth 2 to save Jesse…Let’s just say Lea met Jesse under the worst circumstances as Zoom kidnapped her as well for high leverage over Team Flash.

Jesse screamed, ranted and cried the whole time, in the beginning Lea felt sorry for her and comforted the girl. Until her temper started to rise and snapped at the poor girl, telling Jesse that everything will be fine and that she’s braver than this! Eventually Jesse stopped and started talk to her to figure out how to escape. Thankfully Barry, Cisco, Harry, Killer Frost and others saved them! They all returned to Earth 1 with a survivor of Zoom to reveal himself as the REAL Jay Garrick. 

Everyone bonded, a few metas came in here and there. Harry, Lea, and Caitlin had to saved Jesse from going into shock. Lea and Jesse formed a bond afterwards. Plenty of other things happened as Barry’s dad died while trying to help them.

Eventually they defeated Zoom and everything was fine, until Barry created Flashpoint and you know what happened there! Team Flash was dealing with bigger issues due that change in the timeline order cause of the different Meta Humans, Caitlin becoming Killer Frost, Harry and HR, relationships blooming, the yearly crossover events and etc.

Forget to mention, Harry was a little jealous when HR would be flirty or anything similar to that with Lea. HR adored all the couples, especially Barry and Iris! But deep down he knew she was Harry’s lady.

~~~~~

As crazy it was, it was home. One afternoon, Harry walked into the lab to find Lea tinkering a equation for a biological connect between a few Meta humans and a new answer to Jesse’s speeding powers, getting a huge headache. He smiled, resting his hand on her waist kissing her shoulder tenderly. It was a rare occasion where he was the one easing her thoughts. Usually it was the other way around, with her being the one to do so, but it felt good.

Lea leaned into Harry’s touch and eased looking up at him with a small smile. They only been together for two years but it felt like they were the married couple of Team Flash with how comfortable they are around each other. She laced her lips giving him a cheeky kiss as he went in for another kiss.

“You forgot to add the 3 and subtract the 15, that’s why your having trouble.” Harry commented, taking the pen to fix the equation and being a genius, he solved it immediately.

“Of course I did. I’m better with a gun and genetic codes then rude math stuff..” Lea replied with a small huff, pointing to the paperwork.

“That’s why I’m the billionaire genius.”

“And I’m the junior biologist.”

“A gorgeous biologist, may I add.”

“I wouldn’t say that.”

“I would!”

Before she can replied or add anything else, Harry lifted the girl into her arms wrapping the love of his life into her arms grinning. Lea wrapped around his neck when suddenly she hissed her face laying on Harry’s chest, feeling a headache and a sharp ringing in her ears. His gripping stayed strongly against hers, rubbing her back until it passed and when it did, Harry asked, “Uh honey what was that? Are you okay?”

Lea whimpered for a moment and nodded, “I’m fine. I heard a ringing like a bell..or the elevator.”

“From here? Darling, your sure it’s not a headache…you’ve been having a lot of those recently.”

“No..it’s not.”

As if on cue, Cisco came in with a confused face holding a corn dog and texting Barry on his phone. He looked up and noticed the couple sensing something was wrong, Harry was skeptical, it happened out of the blue as he watch Lea’s reactions and his face lighted up. 

Cisco tossed Harry his machine and they the used old Meta Human detector waving it in front of her until it’s started slowly beating a gentle as Harry and Cisco face lit up. After a few hours it was confirmed, Leanna caught onto elements of being Meta Human!

—-

Hours and days passed as Leanna O’Conner became aware of her powers that bounced within her. She had to ability to have enhanced hearing. Cisco and Harry were VERY proud they found out of her abilities firsthand while Caitlin kept her abilities a secret. That was until Cisco and Lea found out with Barry about her power set. They love Caitlin and embraced her new abilities, even if Killer Frost revealed to be a bit of a insecurity for her. But Lea was always by her side for all of it!

To say Lea struggled with her powers was a understatement, there were moments where she heard everything from a 4 mile radius and moments where she couldn’t hear anything at all. The first days she couldn’t sleep or think straight, having to wear noise canceling headphones that Cisco and Harry built for her or Iris hug her from behind to hush her worries.

Weeks past and everything changed for Team Flash, they’re team grew up but also downgraded. Since Killer Frost kept showing up making issues harder, Savitar kept wanting to kill Iris, Wally West got powers and started dating Jesse, and etc.

OH! The Invasion, The Musical Crossover Event and happened as well. In result, was a world wrestling issue for the teams as Supergirl, Arrow, Legends and others join in. Barry and Iris even got engaged twice, which everyone celebrated.

More Metas came to town, causing Lea to take action and step up even more with Team Flash, since she was always behind the scenes of all the action. Time travel happened and then it was the night of Iris’s death…

It was a crazy nightmare for Barry and the rest of Team Flash, fighting against time to save Iris from Savitar and Killer Frost. Stressful, heartbreaking and frustrating to say the least. In the end they won, H.R. swapped positions with Iris, as she went to kill Savitor with a gun she took from Lea.

There was a small funeral held for H.R. Wells during a somewhat cold rainy day, everyone dressed in black underneath umbrellas burying their short lived friend. Caitlin returned as Killer Frost for the funeral telling Lea and Cisco she needs some time to figure herself out but will return later on. A few days later, Lea and Cisco were packing up for a small trip to Earth 2 with Harry when a portal opened a few blocks away result all of Team Flash to take action.

The portal was The Speed Force wanting Barry to spend some time with them for a while, for his issues of messing with the timeline. It was heartbreaking to see Barry Allen go, Lea held Iris in her arms comforting the girl as she had to watch her fiancé leave for a while. Julian, Cisco, Harry and Joe stayed behind watching the mere sad action take place as a group…
