The Canary Cry (Laurel/Cisco; E)
Ships: Laurel/Cisco
Summary: Cisco invites Laurel to his apartment to give her her Christmas present, and things quickly get out of hand.
A/N: Thanks to @lancedinah and @unkemptseeker for the encouragement and to the anon who inspired this and the anon who cheered me on.
I seem to be on something of a smutty kick lately. Sorry, lol. Anyway, just a warning that this is not for kiddies. Reader discretion is advised. :)
The first time Cisco goes down on her they’re in his apartment. They were just supposed to meet for a coffee at Jitters, to exchange Christmas presents, but he’d asked her to come to his apartment to give her hers - an upgraded suit, complete with Kevlar lining and extra space for her to carry more gear. He’d also made Sara one, to her delight, and she had meant to thank him with a kiss on the cheek, but one thing had led to another and now Laurel is on his couch. The best thing is, he goes down on her without her even having to ask, which makes a nice change. She hasn’t been with anyone for a while, now - months, it has to be, and she’s forgotten how good it feels to be wanted by someone. She says as much to Cisco, who pauses in pulling down her panties, clearly taken aback.
“I find it hard to believe there’s anyone on the planet who doesn’t want you. And that’s including earth-2.”
The Chase (Laurel/Nyssa; T) - Part II
Ships: Laurel/Nyssa, past Nyssa/Sara
Summary: “My name is Dinah Laurel Lance. For five years I was stranded on an island with only one goal: survive. Now I will fulfil my mother’s dying wish: take up her mantle as the Green Arrow, and bring down those who are poisoning my city. But to do this, I must become someone else. I must become something else.”
A/N: This is meant to parallel Oliver’s journey in 1x05, to a certain extent. Thanks to @piggiesaregreen for letting me talk about my fic with her. <3
The makeshift lair Dinah chose to train in is an old gym owned by Lance Consolidated. Dinah’s pushed all the exercise bikes out of the way, clearing the space in the middle so there’s a space for her to spar - with Nyssa.
“Don’t forget to turn your hips, Dinah,” Nyssa says, panting as she wields her bo-staff, and she blocks Dinah’s punch easily with her elbow. “It’s where the power comes from.”
Dinah tries again and manages to get Nyssa in the shoulder this time. “Like that?” Dinah says breathlessly.
In a split second, though, her eskrima stick is knocked out of her hand and Nyssa flips Dinah over so Nyssa’s sprawled on top of her. For a second Dinah can feel Nyssa’s warm breath flutter against her neck.
The Chase (Laurel/Nyssa; G)
Ships: Laurel/Nyssa, past Nyssa/Sara
Summary: “My name is Dinah Laurel Lance. For five years I was stranded on an island with only one goal: survive. Now I will fulfil my mother’s dying wish: take up her mantle as the Green Arrow, and bring down those who are poisoning my city. But to do this, I must become someone else. I must become something else.”
A/N: So I had a great response to an AU gifset I made for Laurel Lance Week, which features her on earth-7 as the Green Arrow. It inspired me to write a fic featuring earth-7!Dinah. Her story parallels Oliver’s in a lot of ways, and that’s wholly intentional. The suicide warning is just for the way Dinah Drake dies, which is the same way Robert Queen dies on the show.
Dinah is running.
Granted, she’s used to doing the chasing, rather than being chased by someone, but she doesn’t mind - even if it’s becoming increasingly difficult to shake off her tail. She’s taken all the normal shortcuts, but her chaser seems to know all of them just as well as she does.
I Don’t Deserve Your Love (but you give it to me anyway) (Oliver/Laurel; G)
Summary: In Starling General Hospital, Oliver asks Laurel to promise him something. 4x18 fix-it fic.
A/N: Thanks to Meg for reading this over and Hira for the medical advice :D
LAUREL: Whatever happens - I still need you in my life. Always will. OLIVER: We’ve gone through too much together for it to be any other way. Which is why - I need you to promise me something. (LAUREL sits up as OLIVER settles more comfortably on the bed, looking attentively at him. He picks up the photograph and turns it between his fingers.)
LAUREL: Anything.
All For You (Iris/Barry; E)
Ships: Iris/Barry
Summary: “I love you, Barry Allen.”
“I love you, Iris West.”
Set at the end of 3x09. Along with moving in together, Barry and Iris take another big step in their relationship.
“I love you, Barry Allen,” Iris tells him, arms still around his neck, and her eyes are alight with something warm and bright.
Barry smiles back, making Iris’s heart soar, as he replies immediately, “I love you, Iris West.”
And when he kisses her there’s something different about him – about them. This kiss tastes of the promise of so much more. Iris lets her arms fall, so Barry can slip off her coat, which drops to the floor. She shivers, and instantly Barry speeds both of them to the nearest wall so he can press her against it.
“So is that a yes?” Barry murmurs against her lips. “Will you move in with me?”
Iris bites her lip, as if pretending to consider, and for a moment Barry’s face starts to fall, as if anticipating her saying no, and Iris decides she’s trolled her boyfriend long enough.
(And it is Christmas, after all.)
One Day (Iris/Barry; G)
Ships: Iris/Barry
Summary: Set at the end of 3x07. Barry finds himself telling Iris about the article that is no longer written by Iris West-Allen, and Iris finds herself delivering some home truths.
“God, I’ve missed you,” Barry murmurs to her after they surface from another lovely long kiss. They’re on Iris’s couch, and Iris is straddling Barry’s lap, knees locking him into place.
“I’ve missed you too,” Iris says softly. “I mean - it’s not like we’ve been apart much, exactly -”
“Just - we haven’t been alone?”
Iris nods. “Yeah. And I like being alone with you. Having you to myself.”
There’s something, even now - a while into their relationship - about the candour in Iris’s words that makes Barry’s heart beat just a little bit faster, makes him smile for just a second longer.
Stay (Iris/Barry; G)
Summary: Set at the end of 3x07. After resigning from CCPD, Barry goes back to Joe’s for dinner and then offers to walk Iris home.
A/N: So… I haven’t actually written anything in ages. I’ve had a lot going on with university lately, so I haven’t really had the time. But I was rewatching this ep and got this idea. I hope I haven’t lost too much of my mojo!
Thanks to @captainriphunter for looking this over :)
It’s late, almost eleven o’clock, when Iris finally gets to her feet and says she’s going home.
“‘Kay, honey,” Joe says, stifling a yawn with his hand.
“See ya,” says Wally, and Iris smiles, puts her hand on her brother’s shoulder briefly.
“Want me to walk you home?” Barry offers. The smile doesn’t leave Iris’s face as she nods, extending her hand to him. Barry takes it, lets her lead him to the door, and after a quick wave at Joe and Wally they’re outside.
Iris is quiet, though, as they walk hand-in-hand through the deserted streets.
“Hey,” Barry says softly, “you okay?”
