Summary
"Rip wants the two of you to pretend to be in a gay relationship."
When Sara Lance uses the Spear of Destiny to alter reality, she fixes a hidden structural error in her own timeline: she brings the original Leonard Snart back from the Oculus.
But the Waverider has evolved, and the newly returned rogue immediately clashes with Nate Heywood, an enthusiastic academic who grates on every single one of his calculated nerves. During a high-tension library argument over operational protocol, Leonard steals a brief glance at Nate’s lips, forcing himself to maintain his cold mask.
Meanwhile, an internally panicked Nate realizes the thief is completely, sexually confusing him, prompting an explosive realization about his own bisexuality. Before the dust can settle, Sara interrupts with a mission to 1778 Valley Forge, delivering a cover story that leaves both men shouting in simultaneous shock.

Summary
How to Steal a Thief's Heart 1; Guide
Act I;
It started as a routine, albeit ridiculous, timeline rescue. To save Baron Friedrich von Steuben in 1778, the Legends needed two men to pose as romantic "aides-de-camp." Nate Heywood and Leonard Snart were supposed to be professionals—they were supposed to just be playing a part for the history books. They just didn't expect the act to become reality so fast.
From a chaotic undercover mission pretending to be gay, to a cramped stone cell where hidden layers of identity were exposed and completely embraced, the walls of ice between the historian and the thief have thoroughly melted. Now, back on the Waverider, they are navigating what it truly means to be boyfriends. Whether it's confronting the horrific, unspoken ghosts of Leonard’s past in 1980 or fucking on the kitchen counters while the rest of the crew looks the other way, they are learning to be there for each other in every single way—emotionally, sexually, and everywhere in between.
Fixing history is easy. Learning to let someone love you? That’s the real guide.

Summary
How to Steal a Thief's Heart 2; Rough Patches
Act II;
"This is why your father distanced himself from you—because you're too damn emotional!" The words cut deeper than any cold gun blast, leaving a silence in the Waverider’s library that even a jump through time couldn't fix.
Picking up immediately after Act I: Guide, Nate Heywood is looking for commitment, but Leonard Snart—a man whose defense mechanisms are as sharp as his tongue—is only looking for an exit strategy. After a brutal fallout leads to a disastrous mission in the Wild West, the Legends are at their breaking point. Tired of the toxic tension nearly getting them killed, Captain Sara Lance initiates a mandatory reconciliation protocol: locking the two in the cargo bay until they face the truth—or each other.
Leonard Snart doesn't do "domestic," and he certainly doesn't do "forever." But as the hours in isolation tick by, the walls he's built his entire life begin to crumble.
Can Nate’s persistence break through Leonard’s icy defenses, or will their rough patches finally shatter what they've built together?

How to Steal a Thief's Heart 3; Accepted or Not?
Act III;
Following the fallout of Woodstock, Nate Heywood is tired of living a double life. Driven by the lingering haze of unicorn magic and a desperate need for the truth, he takes Leonard Snart to his childhood home to face the ultimate commander: his father, Hank Heywood.
But acceptance in the Heywood household comes with a price. While Nate trades his steel suit for a Time Bureau tie to mend his family bond, Leonard is left to navigate the quiet of a ship that feels far too empty. From high-stakes interrogations in D.C. to a magical "Love Dust" outbreak in 1802 Bath, their relationship is tested by duty, distance, and the ghosts of the past.
But when the Legends successfully change history at HeyWorld, the timeline decides to take its own tax. In a world where 2042 was never a wasteland, the girl who saved them all is erased—leaving Nate with a hollow heart and Leonard with a partner who is grieving for a ghost he can’t remember.

Summary
Act IV;
"Accepted, or not? That is the question."
Following the intense reality shifts of the timeline, life aboard the Waverider refuses to stay quiet. When Zari 2.0 casually drops a casual, blunt truth bomb in the library, Nate Heywood is thrown into a tailspin of absolute academic panic.
The realization hits him hard: he wants a forever with Leonard Snart, but planning a traditional proposal for a career criminal who values sterile, calculated control over sappy sentimentality is a high-stakes heist of its own.
Spanning a chaotic multi-month timeline, Nate launches a top-secret mission to outsmart a master thief. From weaponizing sugary sensory nightmares in the ship's bathroom to cutting clandestine paperwork deals with a blackmailing Captain, Nate pulls out every tactical stop. But as Leonard's legendary criminal intuition closes in on the unfindable operation, Nate is forced to deploy extreme physical diversions and enlist the dark arts of John Constantine just to keep the target hidden.
It all builds toward June 2nd—a date Leonard traditionally despises, but one Nate is determined to rewrite forever.

Summary
Act V;
"By the power vested in me by the Waverider and a very lucrative paperwork deal..."
After six months of strategy spreadsheets, stolen glances, and a Babylonian concealment glamour, the countdown to the final vow is over. To avoid the superhero disasters that crashed previous ceremonies, Nate Heywood and Leonard Snart have calculated the perfect window August 12th.
The story opens on the eve of the rehearsal dinner in an upscale Central City loft. Surrounded by camps of Legends, Team Flash, Team Arrow, and a supportive Lisa Snart, Nate battles immediate academic panic while Leonard remains his unbothered anchor. Backed by grounding marriage advice from Iris West-Allen and a heartfelt toast from Captain Sara Lance.
The wedding day brings the ultimate payoff. From an unyielding, passionate kiss at the altar to a swift temporal escape in the jumpship, the newlyweds drop anchor in 1926 Paris—the perfect honeymoon compromise. Nate spends his days with Hemingway and Fitzgerald, while Leonard spends his nights in a vintage suit picking the pockets of corrupt billionaires. After escaping a gala with a sapphire wedding gift, they lock themselves away in their hotel suite.
