home.

home.

Before this, you had nowhere to go. Nowhere but your own aching body, most likely injured, or your tussled thoughts. You may not even know where to go, your identity stripped from you in whatever hurricane of an action that lead you to be so down and out. But then, someone came along and offered you somewhere to stay. You can't turn that down, no matter how loathe you may be to deal with anyone or owe anyone something.

Or that's how it all begins. As you two stay close together and they nurse you back to full strength - despite your potential complaints - things between you change. You grow closer and more used to each other; then, slowly, what used to be thankfulness and generosity turns into love...or something like it. Affection. Deep adoration.

And somewhere along the line, that itself turns physical.

You're thanking them. You're trying to show them how much you care. You want them to love you more than anyone, because they gave you a chance and a home. You need to seal the deal and do more than just "play house" with them. No matter the case, they've opened their bed to you now, as well. This could be the first time, the last time, or the millionth time, but you'll gladly take their offer.

  • Comment with your character, canon, and preference. Be sure to mention if your character is the one taken in or doing the taking in.
  • Reply to others.



  1. ғɪɴᴅɪɴɢ — Who's that? They're no ordinary passersby! Were they in an accident? Are they foreign? ...should you approach them?

  2. ʀᴀɪɴ, ʀᴀɪɴ, ɢᴏ ᴀᴡᴀʏ — The elements make this night no time to sleep out of doors.

  3. ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ — Cuts, broken bones, injuries all of sorts...you have to stitch them back up, then make sure they don't get any

  4. ɢᴏᴏᴅ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ — It's all you can do to show gratitude to the person who took you in. Fix them a meal, care for their house, whatever you can do once you're able.

  5. ʙᴀᴅ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ — FUCK THIS PERSON AND FUCK THEIR COUCH. You didn't ask to be brought here. Let them clean up after you, you don't even care.

  6. ᴡʜᴏ ᴀᴍ ɪ? — How you got into this situation is a mystery. Even more of a mystery is your identity, and why the person you were would be so displaced.

  7. ʟᴇᴀʀɴɪɴɢ — If you've been injured badly enough or can't remember all too well, you might have to relearn a good deal. Luckily, you have a helping hand.

  8. sᴄᴀʀs — Scars from the encounter that lead you here or scars from prior, you don't want them to see either. You still have your secrets to keep.

  9. sᴛᴜʙʙᴏʀɴ — Ugh, your house guest is so stubborn! They always get up when they should be resting, have the worst habits, and completely disrespect your home! You'll get to them, one way or another. Or you'll throw them out. You don't want to, but you will.

  10. ᴄᴏᴍғᴏʀᴛ — Bad memories or nightmares wreck you; your host and nurse comes to your side unexpectedly.

  11. ᴄᴜʟᴛᴜʀᴇ ᴄʟᴀsʜ — The person who's taken you in is from a different culture or lifestyle than you, and adapting is harder than you thought.

  12. ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ ғᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ — Think learning about a new culture is hard? Try being a different species. Can you keep your little eccentricities at bay for the good of your station?

  13. ᴊᴇᴀʟᴏᴜsʏ — Now that your emotions towards your caretaker/host/jailer are softening, you're finding yourself unusually jealous of those in their life who were close to them before.

  14. ɴᴇᴡ ᴀᴄᴛɪᴠɪᴛɪᴇs — You never thought you'd have fun after all that's happened, yet such simple gestures as a picnic or a movie make all the difference.

  15. ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ — You love them, this person who's taken you in or this person you've found. It's not a pity or a thankfulness, it's love, and you know that now. What you choose to do with this information is

  16. ʜɪsᴛᴏʀʏ — Suddenly, the person who's been so nice to you finds out that the two of you have a history. You killed their loved ones or caused something terrible. How can they forgive you?

  17. ᴘʀᴏᴛᴇᴄᴛ — So much has been done for you. The least you can do in return for the one who helped you at your lowest is make sure they never have such a low point.

  18. ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴇs ᴋɴᴏᴄᴋɪɴɢ — Anyone in the way of getting to you will be destroyed, and that includes the person you're staying with.

  19. ʟɪᴠᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇᴍ — You've been given a home, maybe which you've never had before. You don't want to leave.

  20. ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ — Not only are you living with them, but you're starting a proper life with them.

  21. ʀᴇᴠᴇᴀʟ — All secrets are laid out on the table. You've decided to tell about your past and what lead you here.

  22. ʀᴇᴠᴜʟsɪᴏɴ — What you've done and who you are is so heinous, they want nothing more to do. You're to leave their home and leave them alone.

  23. ᴀᴄᴄᴇᴘᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ — It doesn't matter what they've done. You've opened your home and your heart to them, and nothing's changed.

  24. ᴘᴀʀᴛɪɴɢ — All things must come to an end. No matter what you feel for each other, it's time to leave. Hopefully, you'll see each other again.

  25. ʜᴀᴘᴘɪʟʏ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴀғᴛᴇʀ — Come what may, you've decided to stay at your new home with the person you love. Now, it's safe enough to do so.

((A couple are jumping out - it probably depends on canon points for these two and who's taking care of who, but let's see:

9 - I can see either Barry or Len being completely horrible patients and the other has to *sit on them* to get them to hold still and heal up.
10 - another good one that would fit. Both of them have plenty of baggage to go around.
14 - would be a good option for Barry to show Len the smaller joys
17 - maybe Len comes to Barry's rescue this time?))

( i really like 14 or 17! so if there's one you're leaning towards i'm up for that - as for canon point, i'm okay with whenever, and definitely fine with a lot of gratuitous hand-waving. heading to work soon but i can leave you a starter if there's anything you prefer c: )

[ Though it's not the first time he'd been told since, Barry's pretty sure Len had been the first to critique Barry's tendency toward altruism - that he'd much rather save civilians than chase his target. And it's something Barry's proud of, something he wouldn't change about himself.

Of course, it gets him in slightly sticky situations like this one, where thankfully he'd gotten all civilians out of the warehouse, but also happened to dislocate his shoulder and end up kind of sort of trapped under the steely aftermath of a fight that involved some big-ass guns Barry's never seen before. Theoretically, he should be able to get the beams off of his body but being shot at by one of those weird guns seemed to have fucked up his speed a little.

So that leaves him with a couple of reasonable solutions - wait it out until the team can come extract him, or wait it out until his shoulder heals and he can try to pull himself out.

Either way, Barry's gonna be stuck here a while. Great.

He drops his head back against the concrete and inhales slowly. It could be worse, right? It could always be worse.

[Things had started to change for Leonard Snart the day that Barry saved his life. Lost and falling through time only to be saved by the one person who seemed to see something good in him, something worth fighting for.

So naturally when Barry takes off to save the city, Snart follows. The speedster has more heart than sense some days and he's just doing the city a favor by making sure that it's favorite hero comes out of another fight in one piece.

.. not because he cares about Barry.

He hangs back during the fight, using a few well-placed shots to back Barry up. The cold gun can't save the speedster from the fall or from the debris that currently has him pinned. Fine. He'll go in and get him, but just for the sake of keeping him alive.

He doesn't worry about him. No. Len only worries about himself and at times, Mick.

The first thing Barry will see is a pair of familiar boots.]
