ColdWestAllen Weekend

How would people feel about doing a weekend ColdWestAllen event rather than a full week? That way, people still have a chance to get their ColdWestAllen fix, but it’s not as big a commitment as a full week? More like a Friday-Saturday-Sunday affair. Thoughts?

[coldwestallenweek]

Is there gonna be a ColdWestAllen week or other event coming up this year?

I’m more than happy to organize a ColdWestAllen event provided there’s enough interest! I haven’t proposed anything myself because interest does seem to have dwindled since I first started organizing these events, but if there is still genuine interest from creators reblog or reply to this post and let me know!

@coldwestallenweek - Here’s a Star Trek AU in honor of the 60s prompt.  The sixties brought us Star Trek and now I use Star Trek for some pre-Barry/Iris/Len hijinks.

Barry’s muscles ache.

The knots in his deltoids fight for attention over the burn of strained obliques and quadriceps inundated lactic acid after a long, successful night of crusading under his cape. The night feels long and endless, even as the first traces of murky blue colour the Gotham skyline low in the horizon. The stone under Barry’s fingers is cold and unforgiving as he perches on the rooftop, back bowed and head hung low.

Soon, dawn will break, and the illusion of safety will once again be restored to the city Barry calls home.

A fanmix for The Flash 2014/Legends of Tomorrow 2016 and the relationship of Barry Allen/Iris West/Leonard Snart. Very Len focused and angsty - it follows canon for the first third-ish, then there’s some Oculus!Len angst, some post-Oculus angst and the eventual happy ending. :)

DCTV moodboards: Coldwestallen - 1930′s nightclub AU

Made for @coldwestallenweek2019 day 1, prompt ‘30s’.

Quotes from the lyrics of “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” by Ella Fitzgerald.

—

Barry really needs a job and Leonard Snart, despite his speakeasy reputation, appears to be going legit these days. It’s not that good a prospect at first – errands and odd jobs – but doing grunt work seems to earn everyone’s respect.

One day, a bright red automotive turns up - finer than any Barry has had the pleasure to look at before – and Snart tosses him the keys. “Drive me,” is all he says. Barry reacts fast, fumbling a touch but still catching them alright. He gapes at little at the keys in his hands but doesn’t actually have to be asked twice. Later the story comes out that it was a deliberately ostentatious ‘gift’ from one of Snart’s business associates. Not to his tastes by all accounts and quite likely used anyway out of spite.

From then on Barry is the only one to drive him anywhere and always in that earnestly red vehicle. He tries desperately not to ask too many questions but it’s in his nature. Snart – who insists he doesn’t call him Mister – takes his babbling a lot better than Barry expects. There’s plenty of eye rolling, and frequent comments that are part-derisive, part-something else (that could be affection or simply amused tolerance), but he isn’t fired or busted back to errand boy.

And then Snart signs his showstopper. The illustrious Ms. West headlining at his premier club. Barry isn’t the only one who can’t take his eyes off her, but her voice is something spectacular and Barry can see she’s earned every accolade. Soon enough the papers get to printing rumors about her and Len – she’s never called him anything else, right from the start.

Barry doesn’t know what to make of it that somewhere along the line Snart had decided he was also fine to use the nickname, that could be construed as overly familiar. Barry drives Iris too, anywhere and everywhere, amiably chatting as if they are old friends. Each day he watches her look wistfully at the papers as if she wished they said different about her, despite the praise mingled in with the gossip.

Of course, the gossip shifts focus, to her and Barry, friendlier than a star and her driver are supposed to be. The papers like to imply many things, including Len’s tastes stretching further afield than some might expect and a small part of Barry feels hopeful at hearing that. He shouldn’t care. It shouldn’t matter, but maybe it does…to him at least.

The papers will probably never guess how much fondness there is between them three, however separate each connection is. They’d never guess what it is he dreams of when he allows himself to dream properly of a life with fewer boundaries than the one he currently inhabits. Perhaps it’s lucky then that neither Iris nor Len care much for sticking to the rules when the rules don’t tend to serve them.

@coldwestallenweek here’s the trio in an established relationship, tormenting each other with their movie choices.  Since Pearl Harbor is (obviously) set during WW2, it’s my jumping point for the 40s prompt and gets the focus of my mockery.

Call’s May Favorites: Day Twenty-Seven - Coldwestallen, The Mummy Au

For @coldwestallenweek’s, Day One prompt - “30′s” 

(And now on Ao3 as the first part of “Treasures Untold”!)

After moving with her fiancé to Egypt for his work, and getting a much-needed break from the chaos of America before their wedding at the end of the year, Iris West wasn’t prepared for her new life to feel so tedious.

That is, until she accidentally stole an ancient artifact from a stranger and wound up roping her, Barry, and said stranger into a quest to find the fabled City of the Dead, for better or for worse.

It’s 1932 and the writing is on the wall for the end of prohibition. Leonard Snart is a mob boss who runs a string of speakeasies and a crime ring known as The Rogues. But the new rival gang in town is playing dirty with an unknown chemical weapon and it may very well be that the new singer at Lisa’s speakeasy - Cold as Ice - and his lovely journalist wife may hold the information Len needs to not only uncover the identity of the new gang’s leader but turn the tables on them before things devolve into gang warfare on the streets of Central City.

@coldwestallenweek here’s married couple Barry and Iris meeting gangster Leonard Snart in the 1930s for today’s prompt.
