[vexic929]

The ask game for Cisco and Eobard?

Cisco

1: sexuality headcanon

pansexual and polyamorous, Cisco has chemistry with several women and men throughout the series and I definitely picture him settling down in the future with a wife or husband and another partner

2: otp

Hartmon (+Barry, Harry, Iris, and/or Lisa lol) I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers and Hartley fits that perfectly

3: brotp

Caitlin & Cisco, they're besties forever for sure <3333

4: notp

I don't know if I have a specific notp for him but I'm not particularly a fan of Cisco x Kendra, idk why it just never worked for me

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

"How can you speak six languages and sound like a dick in every one of them?"

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Eobard

1: sexuality headcanon

gay gay gay gay gay

2: otp

3: brotp

Eobard does not generally have friends but season 1 EoWells and Cisco was great

4: notp

ReverseSnow I just personally don't see it

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

The Flash: Prompt | Tunnel Vision | Cisco x Averey (OC)

A/N: After Barry is "destroyed" in Season 2xEpisode 20 "Rupture"

-Rhuben OTP Prompts: Protectiveness | Ask Box

Everything seemed to blur and come into focus all at the same time as Cisco took in the scene in front of him. Or rather what he could see through the dissipating smoke. Smoke that smelled horribly of chemicals and ash. It wasn’t a smell he wasn’t used to; working in the field of science and building all the “toys” he could, he was used to the smell of chemicals, and it wasn’t out of the ordinary for a circuit board to fry here and there. But together? That was a horrible smell.

He could feel his mouth form words, he was asking a question, but he didn’t hear it as he took in the sight in front of him: everybody picking themselves up off of the floor; Iris with her hands clasped tightly over her mouth; Joe whose face was slack and void of any emotion save for the tears that were collecting in his eyes; Henry grasping firmly to the bars in front of him as his knees gave out; Harry whose face was twisted into a haunted gaze; Averey who sat with her back to the small flight of stairs, staring into the empty space that had just held Barry’s writhing form only moments before.

“What did you do to my son?” A quiet question. And then, “What did you do to my son?!” 

Cisco didn’t really know if Henry had shouted those words, or if his grief was just so palpable that he could feel it all around and inside himself. He barely registered the rush of wind that pulled at him, his hair and clothes, that signified Zoom’s appearance. He barely registered the words that Zoom were saying, his eyes just zeroed in on the large, charred, chunk of Barry’s suit that Zoom clutched tightly in his hand.

“Well done…” Zoom’s gloating words floated past Cisco’s ears. Still, he couldn’t focus on the monster in front of him, just the shred of suit in Zoom’s talons. The suit he had worked so hard on. The suit that his best friend was no longer wearing. His best friend who was nowhere to be seen. “You’ve killed him instead.”

It felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. Out of his lungs. What did he do? What did he do to Henry’s son? To Joe? To Iris? To his best friend?

Cisco buried his face into his hands before sliding his hands up over his face, over his hair, attempting to calm himself down. To think! How were mothers so good at that? How could they just stroke their children’s hair, and shush them, and make everything feel like it was going to be ok. But he couldn’t do that for himself. He couldn’t close his eyes, and whisper, “Everything will be ok” and expect just that when he opened them again.

His hands were shaking too much. His legs were shaking too much. His heartbeat fluttered as quickly as a hummingbird in his chest. And Averey wouldn’t stop shouting Barry’s name over and over and over and over. Iris’s heart wrenching sobs echoed around the room.

And then he was moving. He turned to see Harry just staring, staring at where Zoom had just been standing. Joe held Iris tightly to his chest, still with the same empty, yet solemn look on his face. Henry was now leaning heavily on the stair railing, forehead pressed to his forearm, his other hand placed heavily on Averey’s shoulder through the gaps in the railing bars, trying to provide some comfort to his daughter.

Cisco was then by Averey’s side, pulling her to him. “Stop,” he said to her as she fought against him, trying to pull away from his embrace. “Stop looking. Stop.” His voice cracked at the command. He was saying those words to her as much as he was saying it to himself. To stop looking at what he had just done and to attempt to stop the tears that were coming to his eyes. He pressed her forehead into his chest and whispered into her ear, “I’m so sorry.”

7 (for Morgan), 21, and 22 (for Iris) for the fandom asks?

7. Is there a piece of clothing you think [Morgan] is particularly fond of/that you imagine them wearing a lot or like to draw them in?

STAR Labs sweater!

And also:

Love her in a leather jacket, especially a black one 🥰

(Also ofc her dark green Sentry mask but that's a given)

21. Go onto your AO3. Which ship have you written for the most? The least? Does this correspond to who you consider your "favourite?"

Maiko the most. Westhallen, Peddie (Patricia x Eddie from House of Anubis), and Peterliz the least (below Thallen too, though only by one fic). Maiko represents it pretty well (one of my 3 ATLA OTPs fr), but...me writing more Thallen than Westhallen and Peddie is actually an inverse of my preference 😅 I prefer the latter two ships. But me writing less Westhallen is probably because I don't often write trios—I prefer writing duo ships.

And ofc if we included platonic ships...Barry & Morgan would win by a country mile 😂 which would also be accurate

22. Give us a headcanon for [Iris]

She loves calling Barry multiple variations of his full name: Bartholomew, Barrence...even Barnacle 😂 she jokes that the latter rolls so naturally off the tongue

Hey! A, B and D for the ask game, if you haven't done them yet?

Already answered B! (short answer it's Kyle Raynar x Connor Hawke)

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

Barry Allen x Iris West Allen, I love them so much they are so good for each other. I have other ships but they are definitely my OTP.

D-A pairing you wish you liked but just can't (again: be nice)

Eh... There's plenty of pairings I don't like but I don't really wish I did like them? Or if I do it's mostly because there is a lot of content for the ship. So I'm just going to list popular ships I dislike:

Any ship with Bruce Wayne, Jason Todd, or Bart Allen (I hc them all as aromantic). DickBabs, DicKory, BirdFlash, Hal Jordan x Carol Ferris, RoyFire, TimSteph, TimBer, I'm going to stop there because there are honestly a lot of ships I don't care for. (If you do like a ship I don't, that's cool! I have nothing against people who ship differently than me. This is my opinion, no you won't change it, please don't come after me because I don't like your OTP.) Also I should mention I like most of these ships solely as past ships (as in, they dated, it didn't work out, they're still friends but they acknowledge that they're exes.)

Thank you for the ask!

Not them paralleling the blue spark moments with Iris and Barry from S1 to right now, not Barry telling a unconscious Iris she's the reasom he's the Pargon of love and she's he's heart, and not Barry's love for Iris making him realize she still has remnants of the Speed Force in her from when she was a speedster.

Mind, Body, Soul Fandom: The Flash Pairing: Westallen Rating: T Length: 2,500 words

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like I’m really here,” Iris admits. “Like I’ll always be wondering if I’m still stuck in the mirror, hoping you’re not a mirage.”

And Barry’s hands dance down her body, careful, gentle, moving slow, like he can heal her as he goes, like his love is enough to put her back together.

(And maybe, maybe it is. She can feel his palms warming her skin, his fingers tracing over the pattern of her ribs, like he wants his hands to take away the pain and leave something beautiful in their wake, like he’d paint her with stardust if only he knew how.)

“I promise you you’re here with me,” he whispers softly. “I promise I’m real.”

(Iris is dealing with doubt after getting out of the mirrorverse. Barry’s there to help.)

I love this still so freaking much! It should honestly be framed and then hung up on one of the walls in the Louvre.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

There’s a bunch!! I think…hmm maybe Iris West or Robin Buckley, if I had to choose. Or Sam LaRusso!

Later that night, a sound woke me, and I crawled out of my bed, and I realized that the sound was coming from downstairs. I peered over the bannister, and I found you crying, alone. And I knew that I had to go to you. I sat next to you, and you put your head in my lap, and I held you while you cried. And I didn’t know it then, but now, looking back, I realize that that was the night we fell in love. That was the night that we realized how much we needed each other.
