Flash frowns internally—or maybe he does it externally, too—as he stares down a guy who has obvious interest in his baby sister. The man in front of him—Graydon or something—returns his gaze with no sign of backing down. "May I ask...what's your relationship with Jesse?"
Flash raises a brow, "are you that curious?"
"I am, yes."
"Well, I've been curious myself. What do you think of Jessica?"
"....She's my friend."
"Is that it?"
"Are you looking for a different answer?" they challenge.
"Yes. A manlier one."
"A...manlier one?"
"Yeah, you know, direct to the point, leaving nothing for you to guess, that sorta answer."
They blink and lean back, having leaned forward during their daring conversation. "I..." they mull it over, looking for the proper words, "I want to be the one she loves."
Flash stays silent, searching their face for deceit. Slowly, he nods, and looks away, arms crossed as Jesse returns with their ordered beverages. She looks between the two of them, noting the tells of displeasure in her brother. She smiles and starts up a conversation with Graydon, not caring for her brother's lack of input for now.
She smiles as Graydon looks at his watch and excuses himself, having errands to run. She waves him goodbye and watches him drive away. Only then does she look at her brother who's already staring at her, knowing that she'll want to speak with him. "...You don't like him?"
He sighs and sips on his coffee, watered-down with melted ice, "not satisfied with him, no."
She purses her lips and nods, sullen at the admission. "What is it about him?"
He peers up at her, "just...suspicious of him. Plus, I didn't like his answer."
"Well, what do you want him to do..?" she inquires, hopeful but clearly upset.
Flash shrugs, "treat you well."
"He does, though."
"Then date him."
"But—" she exhales loudly.
He sighs after a beat of silence, "do you like him?"
"Yes," she says, resolutely.
"Then date him, even if it might hurt in the future."
She frowns deeper, "it's like you want me to be hurt."
"If I wanted you to be hurt, you wouldn't be asking what your boyfriend or whatever can do to make me like him. You wouldn't even ask me."
She exhales, her brother has a point.
"It's not that I want you to be hurt, I don't. I'm your older brother, I want to protect you from harm, it's basically my duty."
She glances at him.
"But, I can't protect you from every harm without doing the damage. It happens, we all get hurt, no matter how careful we are. If I try to protect you from every thing that might hurt you, you'd be hurt. If I didn't, you'd be hurt. Doesn't matter what you do, you can't live a painless life. What matters is how you overcome those painful times. That's what I'm here for, I'll always be here for you."
She smiles tearfully.
"Date him if you like him, maybe it'll be the greatest choice you make. Some things are worth the pain, in the end. And if he ends up being an ass, then I'll be here for you. Point is, you'll get hurt no matter what, maybe you two would argue, maybe he'd treat you badly. You'll make mistakes and you'll learn from them, you'll get hurt and you'll be stronger. As long as you get out of there when it's getting...toxic, then be with him. It's the happy memories that matters, in the end, right?"
She nods, "yeah."
"Promise me you'll leave if it gets toxic, though."
She holds out her pinkie, linking it with his, "promise. And I know that you'll be there to pull me out."
He smiles, "make good friends, yeah? Good ones, the ones that'll stick with you no matter what."
"I will, I do....Thanks, Flash."
He smiles, "anything for my sister."

please please lets talk about how barry and hunter percieve thawne and his relationship with barry. like im sure barry had no idea of thawnes crush on him (along with what even was his motivation in general before rs) like up until 'the only time' confession and him calling thawne pathetic for that is his live reaction to this realization under the influence of negative speed force. and we KNOW he knows at the very least after that because of these mfs!!!
they are fear constructs and they are based on barrys fears!!! THEY ACT EVEN FUCKING GAYER AND CREEPIER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE!!!
and barry oh poor sweet barry. he had no idea that this!
was thawne meaning time with barry and barry alone! and barry didnt fucking see that! barry related to these words because they reminded him of his parents and naturally he supports The 25th Century Flash! AND THAWNE HEARS THAT 'I UNDERSTAND' AND THINKS THAT BARRY UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT!! THAT BARRY FEELS THE VERY SAME FOR HIM!!! JUST LIKE HE IMAGINED ALL THESE YEARS!!! AND NEVER QUESTIONS THAT CONCLUSION!!! AND LATER CALLS BARRY A LIAR FOR THAT!!! FOR NEVER FEELING THE SAME DESIRE TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER WHICH BARRY NEVER ACTUALLY IMPLIED!!!!
and what about hunter? oh he saw the events of running scared alright. and more, he has an unlimited access to the info about thawne, both personal experience and flash museum archives. he relates to him, he finds fucking comfort in him and his story. he is just like me fr! thawne is his poor little meow meow too and hunter takes it so much more serious than i do due to percieving him as Tragedy Personified!
in fact thawnes death in running scared fucks him up so badly he gives up his ideals and beliefs about flashes in favor of 'they are unfixable and deserve only to suffer'. besides, hes a profiler, he studied psychiatry. like, that guy should understand thawnes character deeply, right?
..............
hunter. hunter my sweet summer child i dont know how to tell you. this is SO not the reason thawne kept it.
he is the BIGGEST (and the only) fan thawne ever had. he knows about him SO MUCH and yet he straight up cannot figure out the most obvious thing about him because he PROJECTS HIS OWN ISSUES AND BELIEFS ABOUT FLASHES ONTO HIM AND REFUSES TO THINK FURTHER. yall im fucking crying. no comments.
THE CLOSET IS GLASS AND NO ONE FUCKING SEES THROUGH AND I AM PERFECTLY NORMAL ABOUT IT!!!!!!

I haven't done one of these in a long time, I need motivation to write, and I'm off work for the coming week, so we're doing a five-days long
Flash fic week
What it is: A micro even where anyone can send me a writing prompt and I fill it within 100-500 words. No beta, no spellcheck, but a slim chance of me making things longer if I feel inspired.
What the results look like: I compile all my flash fics in this AO3 series, in case you want to see what that looks like.
The dates: April 15 to April 19 2024, Bangkok time. I'm being loosey goosey with the deadlines though so don't be afraid to send prompts early or late x)
The prompts: can be a pairing, a first sentence, or a general setting (ie. "Everlark Pacific Rim AU" or "BoB Coffeeshop AU"), or taken from my writing games tag.
If you don't specify characters or pairing, I'll just go with whatever I feel like writing x)
The fandoms: For a full list of fandoms I've written for, see my AO3 profile, feel free to pick any of them!
Fandoms I'm particularly into (writing wise) at the moment:
Band of Brothers
Saint Seiya
The Hunger Games
The Witcher
Good Omens
And that's about all you need to know for this round, please prompt away :D

This partnership brings together to two (2) powerhouse brands, combining the international reach of Nickelodeon with the immense popularity of Indian content.
The fate of cousin-brother duos of Gupta lies in their hands as they navigate the twists and turns of the timeline. Will they make the right choices, or will they face the consequences of altering the course of history in the wrong path?
