Season 6.5 Flash AU

So the universe is rebooted and Iris is now married to Eddie. Which is fine because she was married to Eddie pre-reboot too. Barry, however, was dating Hartley. Barry had an engagement ring he was planning to give Hartley if they survived crisis since, well, he didn't want to pull a Xander Harris and make Hartley think he was only proposing because he thought they were all gonna die.

But the universe reboots and... Hartley's just gone. No Hartley. No hidden ring. Barry lives somewhere else entirely. It's hell. And then in trying to find Hartley - because of course he does, immediately, hello? That's his boyfriend/love of his life, of course Barry's looking for him to fix things... only...

Barry learns about Roderick and how when his lightning combined with Hartley's sonic tech, it sent Roderick into an out of phase state that was incredibly painful and was 'solved' by putting him into stasis like sleeping beauty. Hartley is still in love with this guy and, understandably, loathes Barry over it.

And Barry's heartbroken, resolves to just... stay away from Hartley. Of course then the Godspeed problem happens and the only person who can help??? is Hartley.

Things play out similar to canon, but weirder because of course Barry is making it weirder. Hartley is like 'is the Flash a little homophobic or...' and Cisco is just like 'no he's bi but he lost his boyfriend recently just back the fuck off' like a good bestie. And naturally Hartley uses his super-eavesdropping powers and learns that he! is the boyfriend! the Flash just lost.

He is reeling from the revelation and still winds up saving Barry's life while trying to figure out what the actual fuck is he supposed to do about what he knows. Pretend he doesn't? Does he go back to his life with his newly woken up boyfriend that he's spent five years pining for and just... pretend not to know the Flash is in love with him?

Like, of course he's not ditching Roderick. He's spent five years waiting for Roderick and he'd have spent his whole life waiting for Roderick if he had to, but... he cannot pretend that he didn't hear that.

So he tells Roderick, figuring they'll just... steer clear of the Flash from now on, it won't be weird right???

Roderick - I mean we could avoid him for forever, it'd probably be pretty easy to do so. Or, and I am being serious, we could just... seduce him and have a polyamorous relationship with him?

Hartley - I've spent five years hating him over what happened to you.

Roderick - Yeah, but it was really all three of our faults and you don't hate you or me over it, right?

Hartley - ... I don't hate you over it.

Roderick - Okay so self loathing issues to work on helping you get over. Alrighty, good to know. So do we want another hot guy in this relationship or what?

And thus operation Seduce the Flash is go.

Naturally they smack face first into the problem that is Barry Allen's true super power, the power of obliviousness.

"The Tell-Tale Heart"

Okay so I want to preface this that I have not read much Edgar Allen Poe so I will be missing those layers in my perspective, but anyways something that really struck me in "The Tell-Tale Heart" episode of The Fall of The House of Usher was the moments after Victorine throws the book end at Ali.

Before this, we're presented with this version of Victorine who may be stressed and pressured but ultimately does not actively appear to be amoral. She's just being put in a bad position by her shit father; she wants to do good and develop a life-saving medical device, and she just has to cut corners to stay afloat. It's only Camille who seems convinced Victorine is some awful person.

Then, the bookend. Another cut corner. Instead of talking things out with Ali or being patient, she acts impulsively and immediately to stop the problem. It's just like the first time she dosed the chimpanzee with epinephrine during surgery in a panic when she realized the device wasn't working. She hits Ali in the head and, on realizing the severity of her actions, runs over to her.

Ali is bleeding out on the floor, her body writhing horribly and she lets out these awful choked noises. Victorine goes to her and seems immediately horrified and brokenhearted. Then, the security guard checks in through the door. The guard is concerned over the scuffling noises overheard.

And Victorine fucking says to him, "Have you never heard a woman getting eaten out before?"

Her girlfriend is dying by her hand, and she pretends the sounds of her dying are the noises of sexual pleasure. This to me is the reveal, this is when the audience truly sees that Victorine does not have and never had a heart. The love she's shown, for her passion, her girlfriend, her device, is nothing more than mistaken greed. It's a mechanical heartbeat, it sounds almost like a heartbeat, but it's a pale imitation to anyone who pays attention. And like with Ali's corpse, the mechanical heart of Victorine is just keeping a soulless body alive.

The Fall of the House of Usher structurally represents the family itself: it begins with the announcement of the deaths of all the children. The children are dead from the beginning of the show. And as Annabel points out, the children in the story were dead from the start, killed by greed and wealth. And then we learn that they were literally dead, as Roderick and Madeline had already sold their lives for wealth before they were even born. We're not seeing the family die, we're seeing the final moments of corpses decomposing. We're seeing the dilapidated house finally collapse. The Fall of the House of Usher is not about death, it's about the walking dead, like the visions of Roderick. A family kept alive with a mechanical device just going through the motions.

The 11th book for my 2025 Book Blanket is The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe, presented by Re: Dracula with Stephen Indrisano as narrator and Sam Stark as Roderick Usher.

This one gave me fits. This is the third version and its one that I'm mostly happy with. I love the crack on the image, and I tried doing a bunch of color changes to achieve it, which kinda worked but it was super thick and I didn't trust it to hold up to use and washing. I also tried a solid white square with embroidery floss, which didn't look great. Doing a chain of black on the white square split the difference perfectly and if it does come off, I can replace it without having to figure out how to replace a whole square.

I have two ratings for this one. My rating for The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe is ⭐⭐. I like Poe. I like Gothic literature. I didn't like the Fall of the House of Usher. 🤷‍♀️ BUT, as for the audio from Re: Dracula, Stephen Indrisano, Sam Stark, Tal Minear? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! It was gorgeous to listen to. I'm also listening to Carmilla and plan on listening to Dracula in May.
