FLASH / LEGENDS Fic Recs - 1 of ?
Barry Allen / Leonard Snart, Flash / Captain Cold from the ARROWVERSE TV shows... usually from Flash.
-----------------
❖ Out Cold - 200k - Rated M - Temporary Amnesia, Angst
Captain Cold's plan for a bit of fun with his nemesis results in more than he bargained for when a head wound from dashing to Flash's rescue leaves him without any memories of who he or The Flash is. As Barry nurses Len back to health, both of them quickly start to hope that he never remembers being Captain Cold as the attraction they feel for each other turns into something more without the pitfalls of being enemies to stand in their way.
AU with everything having happened up to the Season 1 finale, except Eddie shot Eobard instead of himself, killing him, and the singularity didn’t happen.
-----------------
❖ Strange What Desire Will Make Foolish People Do - 12k words - Rated T
When Barry loses a fight against a dangerous metahuman, he goes to Leonard Snart, newly returned from his mission through time, for help. With both men fighting on the same side, the feelings growing between them become harder and harder to ignore.
-----------------
❖ Tumbling Together - 178k words - Rated M - Fake Relationship, Humour, Fluff, HILARIOUS
When Barry and Len discover that they’ve accidentally become neighbors, they learn to navigate their new living situation amongst misunderstandings and a surprising amount of common ground.
“This fic has everything!” - Stefon (probably)
-----------------
♥ ❖ Silhouette - 12k - Rated M - Secret Identity, Costume Kink
Barry takes advice from Iris and Cisco to defeat Cold in a whole new way - by being a better thief. Donning a new persona and costume, Barry becomes Silhouette, the best thief in Central, who consistently beats Captain Cold to his heists, stealing the loot out from under him (while secretly having made a deal with the proprietors, and returning the loot later). Cold isn't sure if he's upset by this new player targeting him...or intrigued. Eventually, the truth comes out.
-----------------
❖ Those Three Words Over Even “I Love You” - 13k - E - Canon Compliant, PWP Missing Scene
Missing scene from episode 2x03, "Family of Rogues."
Later, he'd wonder if they all could've walked away from the heist in one piece if Barry had just called him Leonard.
-----------------
❖ Property of Captain Cold - 3k - E - Possessive!Len, PWP
Barry realizes he’s been dating Captain Cold for months, and Len makes sure everyone else knows it too. Prompt fill from my tumblr giveaway.
-----------------
❖ Tokens of Affection - 6k - M - Legends Fic - Secret Established Relationship
Barry's glad that Len is helping Rip Hunter; he just wishes he wasn't using it as an excuse to steal him things from across the span of space and time. (A tale of separation, reunions and dubiously acquired items of varying historical significance.)
-----------------
❖ He’s My Latest Accessory - 5.8k - T - Rogues Shenanigans - Crack Fun
Having a dual identity has never been so frustrating.
-----------------
❖ Absolute Matchmaker - 68k - M - Fake/Pretend Relationship
Len has been reconnecting with the son he never knew existed ever since Christmas. He doesn’t plan to turn a new leaf but wants to be a good father, the main rule being that Michael stay far away from anything related to Captain Cold.
Which would have worked out perfectly if they hadn’t run into Barry Allen.
Turns out Barry used to tutor Michael in college and considers him a friend, but the only excuse Len can think of for why he and Barry know each other is that they dated-which on its own would be bad enough, but now Michael is set on getting Barry and Len back together when they were never together in the first place.
Meanwhile, a mystery thief is after Michael’s research on absolute zero. The theft might be the perfect excuse to get Len and Barry together, but it also introduces Michael to dangers Len hoped he’d never know firsthand.
OR the fake dating, Michael Snart matchmaker AU.
-----------------
♥ ❖ Seventy Three Seconds - E - 109k - Canon Divergent, Angst, Violence, Smut
Set after S01 E16 (Rogue Time).
With a meta-human on his tail, Leonard Snart turns to the Flash for some information on how to stop them, and gets more than he bargained for along the way.
-----------------
❖ My Barry - N/R - 3k - Dimensional Travel - Earth3
When another Snart falls out of a dimensional rift unconscious, of course Barry has to save him. He just doesn't expect this Snart to be so different, or for the way he says 'my Barry' when talking about his universe to make Barry so very, very curious.
Now with a sequel HERE.
-----------------
❖ Like a Natural Disaster - M - 9k - Temporary Character Death, Metahuman!Len, Sharing a Bed
When Captain Cold sacrifices himself to kill Zoom, he rises from his seeming demise as a meta human. As Barry seems to be the only source of heat that comforts Snart, and the only one unaffected by the chill of his touch, what builds between them with the connection of their powers is like nothing either could have expected.
-----------------
❖ Nothing Like a Secret So Well Kept - T - 5k - Multiple POVs, 5+1 Things
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, it's obvious (to just about everyone) that Len has a crush on the Flash. (Or, Five people who are amused by Leonard’s crush on Barry and one who finds it to be very serious business.)
-----------------
❖ Timeless - E - 60k - S4 Fix-It Fic, Alternative Timeline
A voice in the Speed Force reaches Barry in his Timeless state to convince him to come home. Barry misses that voice once he’s back in real-time, but he has to set things right and save as many lives as he can.
While that means Iris will be with Eddie instead of him, he can’t mourn her. She’ll always be dear to him, but he wants her to be happy above all, and he has seen every timeline and knows the life and love he will get to have instead. He just needs to keep fighting to finish his calculations in time to defeat Eobard and return to his loved ones for good.
Thankfully, a certain thief brings clarity like no one else can.
AU season 1 with Barry from pre-season 4.1 returning from the Speed Force to the moment he woke up from his original coma.
-----------------
❖ Shore Leave - G - 4.8k - Pre-Relationship
The Waverider is back in early 2016 so the crew can have some down time before their next attempt to stop Vandal Savage. Len's first stop is to the friendly neighborhood superhero for a little chat.
[Spoilers for events in both Flash Season 2 and Legends of Tomorrow in the notes section at the beginning of the fic. You have been warned.]
