Is it just me or has a lot of fandom forgotten what "AU" means? It's short for Alternate Universe. I keep seeing people talking about, like, "fake dating AU" or "only one bed AU." Unless your characters exist in a world where a) beds don't exist or b) beds exist in such abundance there could not POSSIBLY be only one of them, that's not an AU. It's just a regular degular story.

“whatever the fuck these two characters had going on” is a vastly underrated character dynamic

Why have I never heard of this until now? It streams for free on FreeVee (an Amazon company) and is a lot better than I expected. Low budget for sure, but well done.

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

ColdFlash Prompt 7

Barry has a skill that sees him working undercover for the CCPD. He bumps into Captain Cold. It becomes a thing.

ColdFlash Prompt 6

Len doesn't walk onto the Waverider expecting to see Gideon, his AI sort-of-step-daughter. But he's sure as hell going to take advantage of it!

If walls could talk, Saints and Sinners would never shut up

ColdFlash Prompt 4

If Team Flash/The Rogues have to listen to/watch The Flash and Captain Cold flirt one more time, they're going to do something drastic

ColdFlash Prompt 3

Despite loosing to Doc Allen consistently for many years, Len wasn't prepared for how good Barry was at cards.
