"Everything Carries Me to You" by Moriavis (PG-13) -- Barry had been a beta his entire life. Coping as an alpha was impossible. Enter Leonard Snart. "Surrender" by cocoa_the_maniac, ladyofpride (NC-17) -- There are no negotiations for an unconditional surrender, Barry. Its either a yes or a no. Barry hums a little under his breath, contemplating his options.

"Apodyopis" by mthrfkrgdhrwego (PG-13) -- Apodyopis-(n) The act of undressing someone with one's eyes "the truth and the weight of it all" by MissSugarPlum (PG-13) -- Kid, I learned early on that time was my most valuable asset. Although, Flash, one would think you'd have realized the same by now. For a fleeting moment a hint of his old smirk shone through his bleak expression, and Barry couldnt have stopped his short bark of laughter if he tried, feeling oddly relieved. I guess the speed and my perpetual tardiness just sort of cancel each other out, and Ive been running late far longer than Ive been fast. "The Color of Love" by Crimson1 (R) -- Len gave up on love a long time ago. In the aftermath of the Oculus explosion, when an old flame comes back to haunt him, he just wants something normal to distract him from it all. He never expected that two of his favorite thingsa heist and the Scarlet Speedstercould end with him drowning in the very emotion he spurned. OR Rainbow Raider strikes again  Len gets hit with LOVE. "draw me close" by QLaLa (R) -- I saved your life," Barry said. He tried to grin, and managed a quirk of his lips. The least you can do is share some body heat. "Fiction" by PhantomWriter (PG-13) -- In the reality created by the Legion of Doom, Leonard Snart only asked for one thing. "ditched at the heist" by Honora (PG) -- Crime fighting isnt a company, and Barry isnt anyones boss, but its possible hes letting the interns do some of his work for him. In which Barry Allen outsources his heroic activities (and interpersonal commitments) and feelings get hurt dignities are offended.

"coffeeshop blues" by storiesfortravellers (PG) -- Barry needs to have a very serious conversation with Len. Len needs a very serious cup of coffee.

Barry/Mick/Leonard: "Until You Come Back To Us" by LaShaRa (PG-13) -- Len would like to give Mick a hug now. Except, well, Lens a little dead at the moment. Mick and Barry are grieving, and there's not a damn thing Leonard Snart can do about it, but he hadn't counted on what the two of them could do for each other. "Temperature Shifts" by rosecake (NC-17) -- Captain Cold's gun pressed against the side of Barry's face, the barrel crossing his cheek and nudging up against his ear with the tip. "Paid for by the Hour" by Murreleteer (NC-17) -- Snart and Rory have something Barry needs; Barry doesn't have much to offer in return. "Making Up Is Hard To Do" by oneiriad (NC-17) -- How the hell is Mick going to arrange his I-am-sorry-I-wasnt-around-to-help-when-your-scumbag-dad-showed-back-up-look-I-got-you-the-superhero-kid-you-like-so-much threesome if he doesnt even know the kids name?! Leonard/Kendra: "Live Long and Prosper" by nirejseki (PG-13) -- Kendra wasn't expecting Leonard Snart to be a sympathetic ear. Or - and this is more surprising - a fandom nerd. (she's always had a bit of a thing for nerds...) Mick/Ray: "Reflexivity" by Hien (PG-13) -- There's cause and effect, action and reaction, Ray Palmer and growing soft. Mick feels cheated out of a life of crime that should've rightfully been his. Worse, he's eventually okay with that. "weird kinda hug" by Liu (PG-13) -- Ray did promise Mick that hug. Too bad the time broke before he could do it; now he's got to work around dinosaurs and Nazis. "eighteenth time is the charm" by Liu (PG-13) -- In the warped timeline, Mick and Ray have to defuse a bomb. Several times over. Unexpected feelings boil over. Iris/Savitar: "The Thesis of the Cruel Speed God" by amarielah (PG-13) -- If there's one thing Iris used to be sure of, it's that she knows Barry Allen, inside and out. But the revelation of Savitar's true identity calls that fundamental cornerstone of her life into question. Frustrated and desperate, she decides to confront Savitar on her own terms.

Burnt, Adam/Reece: "like apples and oysters" by syllogismos (NC-17) -- Cooking itself is the art of surrender. The work of it is true hard labor: sweat, aching joints, sometimes blood.

Suits, Mike/Harvey: "needs must" by thatotherperv (NC-17) -- When Grammy needs an upgrade in care, Mike knows that the usual one-off gig as a paid submissive won't be enough.

This time, however, he mightve bitten off more than he can chew. Following a hunch on a serial killer case, Barry runs into a man who may not be the killer hes tracking, but who might just kill him all the same. Lucky for him, Len's got other plans. "Cold Hard Cash" by meowitskatmofo (NC-17) -- Barry Allen is in deep debt to mob boss Leonard Snart. No job, no money; what's a guy to do?

"Aching now to let you in" by catarinaloss (R) -- To be perfectly honest, Barry would have never even dared to imagine that this thing between him and Snart would even go this far. Now he just knows that he doesn't want it to stop. Even if Snart might not feel the same way about it as Barry does. "headed straight for your heart like a bullet in the dark" by Swing Set in December (PG) -- This fake relationship escalated faster than Barry anticipated. For Len, the execution couldn't have been better if he planned it himself. "i ain't even said a word but my suit bespoke" by youmakemesoangry (NC-17) -- Realistically, Barry knows that Snart owns other clothes. Probably even in other colors. Hell, Barry has even seen Snart wear a suit before, though he was far more focused on the murder Snart was attempting, and succeeding, at to really pay attention to what type of clothing the man was wearing. That was a while ago, though, and now Snart is a big damn hero and hes standing in the cortex in a fucking dark blue suit that looks like a designer was born just to make it for him. His legs look ridiculously long and his shoulders look amazingly broad and he looks so fucking hot that Barry honesty doesnt know what to do with himself. "Come to Me" by sephirothflame (NC-17) -- Leonard Snart is dead. This is a fact Barry accepted a long time ago.

"faces to the moonlight" by capriciouslouis (PG) -- I come here to remember all the times you betrayed me, said Barry, refusing to look him in the eyes. All the times you let me down. You used to be a much better liar, said Len. You come here to remember me. Dont deny it. "Absolute Matchmaker" by Crimson1 (R) -- Len has been reconnecting with the son he never knew existed ever since Christmas. He doesnt 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 hadnt run into Barry Allen. "Need a Universal Role Reversal" by avengersincamphalfbloodstardis (R) -- On a team-up, Barry and Len get sent through a portal to another universe where they discover some interesting things about the identity of their dopplegangers. (For the first day of Coldflash Week 2018, prompt: Role Reversal.) "i'm good when i'm good, when i'm bad i'm better" by LostHowl (R) -- Barry can't remember where 'fucking Captain Cold' was in his job description as The Flash, and Len can't remember where 'fucking The Flash' was in his job description as Captain Cold.

Mick/Barry/Leonard: "Only Half the Rainbow" by Batsutousai (R) -- The thing no one ever tells you about being the hero, is that you always lose something when you're saving the day. And, some days, when you finally make it home, it turns out you've lost the only thing that ever mattered. Barry/Leonard/Iris: "Try Morph" by twilight_shades (PG-13) -- Leonard gets hurt on a job, Iris and Barry help afterwards.

"Give Up, Give In" by FelOllie (NC-17) -- "Ive got a bottle of tequila Jay bought me, just sitting around. Its not gonna drink itself." "Time and Again" by allouette (NC-17) -- Very little is said between leaving the elevator and leaving the hospital. Halsteads apartment is closer, and Connor follows him there, thinks the sooner they get this over with, the sooner his pulse can finally return to normal. The sooner everything can return to normal. "drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart" by blueabsinthe (R) -- Will tries to come up with a retort, but finds the pressure and warmth from Connors fingertips isnt on his wrists anymore. He feels cold and vulnerable without the pressure there. (Comment on this)

The Flash has been unmasked. "The Second Wave" by Chichirinoda (NC-17) -- When someone breaks into STAR Labs and steals an important component of the particle accelerator, Team Flash can't exactly go to the CCPD and report a robbery. Unfortunately, their new foe is more than capable of handling the Flash, and Barry can think of only one person with the skills he needs to get his property back. But Leonard Snart already has everything that he needs from Barry, so what is he going to ask for in return? "Gravity" by LZlola (R) -- The differences are probably subtle to the untrained eye, but he knows Barry. And this is not his Barry. "and is not time even as love is" by Moriavis (PG-13) -- After surviving the explosion of the Oculus at the Vanishing Point, Leonard became something more than human. Even so, he couldn't stop gravitating toward the people he loved. "and is not time even as love is" by Moriavis (PG-13) -- After surviving the explosion of the Oculus at the Vanishing Point, Leonard became something more than human. Even so, he couldn't stop gravitating toward the people he loved. "S.O.S." by Defcon (PG) -- "I just thought I should put us on an even playing field. You know, in terms of accidentally clueing the other one in to the fact that we sort of care about their well-being."

Barry Allen/Leonard Snart/Mick Rory: "Unexpected Development" by nirejseki (PG) -- Sorry, kid, Len says, sounding  and likely even being, knowing Len  sincere. We gotta run, and it looks like youre coming with us for a bit. Oh crap, the kid (Barry Allen, he said his name was) says. Ray Palmer/Mick Rory/Leonard Snart: "Home Invasion(-ish)" by nirejseki (PG) -- Are you seriously here again? Ray asks. He doesnt even put any effort into trying to sound outraged. Theres no point; theyll just laugh at him. "Cut Out My Eyes" and "Home Will Feel Like Home Again" by dametokillfor (R) -- In which Mick feels Leonard's settled for second best, and he's painfully aware that the best is right in front of them.

Ray's new agony aunt has his own agenda. "a game" by boycoffin (R) -- Ray bonked his head on the door frame, but accepted the circumstances with equanimity. Its really fascinating whats happened to my nerves, isnt it? Mick made a noncommittal noise as they proceeded down the corridor. I dunno if fascinating is the word. If something Mick had invented caused him to be unable to move, and required him to be carried around by someone he barely tolerated under the kindest of circumstances, hed want to punch himself in the face, not giddily discuss it like some kind of amazing discovery. "How to (Re)Build a Hero" by Liu (PG-13) -- After his suit is destroyed, Ray keeps finding scrap metal in his room. "Partners Means..." by Crimson1 (PG-13) -- When Ray realizes there is no explanation for why Mick didn't bite him when he was a zombie, he interprets the phenomenon as budding friendship. Mick sees something else. But even if they start off on different pages, they might still end up on the same one. Direct tag to 2.4: Abominations. "The Chronicles of The Tum and The Crow's Nest" by JQ (musicmillennia) (PG-13) -- One big moment between Mick and Ray and five little moments after. ensemble: "Hello, Goodbye (or how everyone fails to explain that theyre going time travelling)" by RedHead (PG) -- Eight people have just been invited to travel through time and space and none of them is taking it halfway seriously.

His pulse is pounding in his ears like it does in a fight. He wishes he had a weapon to defend himself with. Sam slowly drops her bag from how she was holding it like an over-hand bludgeon. When she bought a new purse she got this hard-sided thing that she can use as a weapon if needed. Pest adores it, but Moses thinks it looks like an ammo box on straps.

Big Bang Theory, Zack Johnson/Barry Kripke "A Plastic Man of Steel" by sidonay PG 13 - Kripke is pretty much okay with this weird little friendship he has going on with Zack and Stuart (really, he is, believe it or not). That is, until one evening when Kripke comes home to find he's been broken into and Zack offers him a place to stay. After that, everything starts to go upside-down; Stuart doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut and Zack... well, Zack won't stop being Zack. And somewhere in the middle of it all is a Superman action figure who probably knows how to make everything right but he's not talking. Common Law, Wes/Travis "No Smooth Ride" by Sandrine PG 13 - "If you ask me, you're pretty much married already," Jonelle tells him. "Liz and Richard, remember? Except that if you were, you'd at least get to have sex to balance out all that bickering." Galavant, Isabella/Madalena "this thing we keep" by afterism R - Madalena is locked in a tower. Isabella is her knight in shining armour. Neither are exactly thrilled about this. Galavant, Isabella/Madalena "The Worst Thing Ever . . .

Rivers of London, Molly, Thomas Nightingale, Peter Grant "A Change is As Good As a Rest" by Joylee PG-13 - Nightingale might have been the last wizard, but he was never the last Issac.

Floyd Lawton pines. Suicide Squad, Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton "A Snowball's Chance in Hell" by lousy_science NC 17 - It's not the rescuing that bothers Floyd.

The Cabin in the Woods, Marty Mikalski, Dana Polk "nothing beside remains" by wnnbdarklord PG-13 - They've somehow survived and it's a gift horse Marty definitely knows he should give a thorough dental exam to.

Vampire Diaries, Elena Gilbert/Katherine Pierce "if my hangover was girl, it would be you " by Sandrine PG 13 - Either Katherine is real or Elena's going crazy, and neither option seems particularly attractive.

Especially if the person on whom ones happiness depends is a narcissistic, workaholic chef with a substance abuse problem, but that person is Adam, and Tony cant help it. Somehow, without Tony realizing it, his happiness came to depend on Adam being happy. But now Adam is happy and Tony is, to paraphrase his last psychotherapy session with Dr. Rosshilde, lost. Burnt, Adam/Tony: "recipes for diaster" by lagaudiere (PG-13) -- "Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths.

Live Free or Die Hard, Matt/John: "Feeling Better" by miss_pryss (PG-13) -- The kitchen isnt a separate room so much as a corner of the living room where the wood floor turns into ceramic tile. Theres a note on the fridge, scrawled in emphatic capital letters: EAT SOMETHING. Matt obediently peers inside and finds it better stocked than he expected. Milk and butter, eggs, apples, about six different kinds of mustard, a few tupperware containers with what looks like leftover spaghetti and meatballs, and, front and center, a plastic-wrapped sandwich with a post-it note that says, in the same scrawled hand: START HERE. My Own Private Idaho, Scott/Mike: "When There's Nothing To Feast On" by likeadeuce (NC-17) -- Idaho is like a video game Mikes been trying to beat since he was seventeen. Hes played through all these levels -- Portland, Seattle, Scott, back to Portland, Scott Scott Scott, Italy somehow, then Portland again -- but he keeps waking up back where he started. On the same damn road. New Year's Eve, Ingrid/Paul: "the shape of things to come" by Sadie_F (PG) -- It turns out that one great day isn't quite enough to change a person's entire life.

Generation Kill, Brad/Nate: "Name for You" by partypaprika (R) -- For a second, Nate is on high alerthis senses reaching out for the incoming attack, but then he gets a good look at Brads face and his smile goes wickedly soft. So its like that, Nate says. Yeah, Brad says leaning in. Its like that. Justified, Raylan/Tim: "Halle-fuckin-lujah" by Cherlocked (R) -- Tim runs his thumbs over the battered book cover rubbing at the words Eddie Coyle in the title. Watching Raylan stride out of the Eastern Kentucky District office one last time has him all twisted up inside.

11:05 am	The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow https://recs.livejournal.com/256144.html Barry/Leonard: "those three words over even 'I love you'" by QLaLa (NC-17) -- 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. "Hands-On Stimulation" by Crimson1 (R) -- When Barry runs to the Legends for some time away from the mess he's made of the timeline, an accident robs him of the use of his legs, but a special balm and a volunteer to apply it are all it will take to help him walk again. Len, who remembers every version of the timeline Barry created thanks to his time in the Oculus, is only too happy to take one for the team, if only to have the chance to touch Barry again, like he had in one of the lost timelines Barry changed. Neither are being honest, and both want something they don't think they can say. "Unusual Bedfellows" by Lady Divine Coldflash (NC-17) -- Len doesn't think that the man he's let into his Buick is a professional, but he seems eager enough to please. Their arrangement's simple - first, Len gets what he wants, then this man gets something in return. "Like It Was Yesterday" by fluffyquill (PG-13) -- Leonard has a very particular set of skills. Skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a very smart and dangerous man. But that's not the set of skills that Central City needs right now. "Got A Melancholic Temperament (that's what they said to me)" by RedHead (NC-17) -- Leonard and Lisa end up temporarily de-aged. Itll wear off, but in the meantime, Team Flash has to figure out what the heck to do with them and how to keep them safe. Inviting them to live at the West house seems like a natural, if terrible, solution. "Love Me" by sinplicity (R) -- A meta-human with Cupid-like powers whammies Barry to fall in love with the first person he sees. Just his luck it happened to be Captain Cold. Barry/Leonard/Iris: "A Flash Of Trouble" by Katyakora (PG-13) -- An evening drinking with friends leads to a few awkward confessions that complicate Barry and Iris's relationship. A bit of brutal honesty may be the only cure. "I Don't See an Easy Way to Get out of This" by pansexual-fandom-queen (NC-17) -- Iris and Leonard go to unspeakable lengths to stay alive. Barry gets caught in the fallout, and it's a beautiful disaster. Mick/Ray: "to know, to err, to love (maybe)" by madness_and_smiles (R) -- There is a world where Ray Palmer doesn't know who Mick Rory is. There is a world where Mick Rory destroyed everything. And there is a world where they can avoid it all. (It's what the finale didn't show you.) "The Man I Could Be" by forgetregret2132 (PG-13) -- "So, um. Nate told me that the future version of you, in the future that the Legion had the Spear, you... betrayed the team and gave it to them," Ray began slowly, and Mick grunted again, not bothering with a response. "And if that's true, I want to say... I'm sorry." "Keep Our Demons on the Burner" by Muccamukk (PG-13) -- When Mick starts pushing them all away, Ray wonders if it's something he's done wrong or if there is a deeper cause. Or, my take on why Mick is seeing Snart. "Two Minutes, Thirty-Seven Seconds" by Muccamukk (PG) -- Ray asks Mick on a date. And then he does it again. And again. "Temptations" by AtomwaveHeadcanons (PG) -- Mick knows what his gun can do on what setting. He knows how badly something is just by the smell of it. He doesnt need to see to know just how badly Raymonds burnt. "blot out the sun" by CallicoKitten (R) -- eobard takes ray with him when he escapes the waverider, mick isn't pleased Barry/Mick/Leonard: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World (except Len and Mick)" by nirejseki (R) -- After the Oculus spits Leonard Snart out, he and Mick go home and let the Legends carry forth hunting down the mysterious time-travelling saboteur by themselves. Clearly this is a mistake, because next thing they know, they're waking up in something that people are calling "Doomworld." Well, that just means it's up to Len and Mick to fix it - Except that, too, is a mistake, because now they're somehow ruling the world and, worse, the official owners of one Barry Allen, speedster. Barry, Mick, Leonard: "No Good Deed" by Crimson1 (PG) -- Its been ten years. Ten years since Snart died. It almost hurts worse that Mick has seen him, more than once since then, but hes still dead  the real version of Snart is gone forever. Barry, Legends, (Leonard): "Siberia In The Springtime" by LarielRomeniel (PG) -- Weve never been to 1892. Or Siberia. Barry Allen has some explaining to do. Mick/Oliver/Felicity: "Building Moments" by musicmillennia (R) -- Mick's still not sure if he's welcome. They make sure he knows. (Comment on this)

Pulls his hand away, and looks down, and then up, and Rumlow is just looking at him, thats all, looking at him with a knowing expression. It makes him look down again, and then Rumlow is touching the back of Steves neck, the calluses of his palm hot and rough on Steves skin.

Captain America (movies), Steve/Bucky: "i'm feeling like a loaded gun (and when it's done i'm the only one)" by notcaycepollard (NC-17) -- Theres something different when its Buckys hands cleaning his rifle, is all. What's got you blushing, Steve? Bucky asks, low and serious, and Steve flushes harder, hot to his ears. I'm not, he says anyway, and, leave it. Batman v Superman, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent: "Pet Bat" by linndechir (NC-17) -- The Superman of Bruce's nightmares had never smiled. He was a wrathful god, punishing and devouring. Nothing his paranoia had cooked up had prepared him for this  for this smiling, gentle god who took so much pleasure in his power. Batman v Superman, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent: "Another Night" by linndechir (PG) -- Fighting him, there had been no opening to exploit, no weakness or softness for Clark's fists to find. But fighting by his side had made Clark realise just how human Bruce was. Batman v Superman, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent: "enough" by Starfire (kalypsobean) (R) -- Of course Batman kept some kryptonite. Of course, Superman came back. Of course, they both have issues. Video: MCU, Steve/Rumlow: "Premonitions" by JoeEva (NC-17) -- When you feel the betrayal for one beat of your heart...

The Guest, David/Luke: "Don't Get Caught On My Edges" by joidianne4eva (R) -- There you are, David murmured, that cocky grin stretching across his lips and bile churned in Lukes throat as he remembered the sight of Carvers body, stretched out like a Halloween prop, his blood making the floor beneath Lukes feet slippery. Do you know how long Ive been looking for you, Luke? I mean, Ive been looking for Anna too but you know me and Anna, we didnt get off on the right foot but me and you? We were buddies, werent we?
