Summary
Iris is fine with Barry being in a relationship. Totally fine. 100 percent, completely fine. And he wants to tell Patty his secret? After only knowing her a few months? Perfectly, wonderfully fine. Great, even.
(Or not.)

Summary
Iris’s earliest memory is of her father, singing to her and holding her close as he danced around the kitchen. She’s not sure if it’s an actual memory or something that has been relayed to her so many times she can see it, clearly, in her head, but she claims it. He sang something old; no one can remember quite what it was, but Iris swears (when she was scared, growing up, or when she can’t fall asleep in college, or when she misses him so much it hurts, sometimes) she can hear the melody sometimes. The words just on the tip of her tongue.
(Iris West and her relationships with people as she grows up.)
One-shot, Iris centric. Hints of Westallen.

Summary
Iris just kept running her eyes over her own name. There she was, in a category with some of the biggest names in journalism. Her name. Her piece. Her story. “I didn’t think anything would come of it,” she said, not once taking her eyes off the list of nominees. “Mercer told me a few months ago that she put my story forward but I honestly didn’t think that it would ever get this far.”
Her heart was pounding so loudly in her chest, Iris could barely hear the background noise of CCPN. She wondered if someone could pass out from shock, if they could have a delayed reaction and just collapse on the floor. Probably. Oh god. She might pass out. She might throw up.
She was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Along with Lois freaking Lane.

Summary
“Another one?” Caitlin asked, furrowing her brow. “I thought we gave all of our presents to each other over the course of the day?”
She moved off of him and he grinned, dashing to his closet to pull down the plainly wrapped box. “We did,” he said, bringing it back into the living room with him. “But this is not something I would’ve wanted your parents to see. Or my family. I mean, if my abuela saw this, it might have given her another heart attack.”
Caitlin and Cisco exchange their final Christmas gifts. For The Flash 12 Days of Smutmas challenge.

Summary
One year after a mysterious explosion, Central City has become a no man's land. Thousands of ordinary citizens left the city behind, and the ones who remained were subjected to the ever increasing control of the government: random searches, curfews, limits on where to go and who to see. But unbeknownst to the general public, the government, through the CCPD Special Forces Unit, tracks and captures people who develop extraordinary powers. Two of these advanced humans, Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, have joined forces with Iris West to try and save those the CCPD hunts from their fate.

Summary
“You’re a reporter, aren’t you?” Iris asked, glancing over to the back entrance they were going to break into. Or walk into, as Iris insisted earlier. They were going to walk into an underground mob casino.
“A sports reporter! Sports! And the mob isn’t exactly competing in the Central City soccer finals, Iris,” she said.
Iris held up a finger. “As far as you know,” she said solemnly, and Linda rolled her eyes.
--
Linda and Iris go undercover at a mob casino. Because nothing is too far for a story. -

Summary
“Oh, big spender,” Cisco said, penciling in an amount next to Caitlin’s name. “I’ve still got ten on Linda, and she has ten on Becky, and Kendra has ten on herself like usual. But twenty. Damn.”
Caitlin smiled, and glanced at Linda. “Well, he’s definitely gay,” Caitlin said. “And he doesn’t know anything about Hartley yet.”
Barry is the new kid in school, and all of Iris's friends are taking bets on who he'll kiss first.

Summary
“God, your brother is hot,” Kendra said, wiggling her eyebrows at Iris. It was the first time someone had ever expressed to her that they found Barry (of all people!) attractive in any way. And though she usually agreed with Kendra’s taste in boys, this had to be the exception.
“He’s not my brother,” Iris said defensively. -

Summary
How many times, she wondered briefly, can you find yourself missing before everyone stops looking?

Summary
Sometimes, Lydia wonders if it will ever be the right time to tell him.
If there will ever be a moment when all of their pieces are in the perfect place for each other, when he is free and she is waiting and they can come together and fall into a perfect harmony, their hearts beating together in time and their fingers intertwined.
(More poetry than plot)

Summary

Conversely, Lydia is still reeling over Allison's death, and just needs someone to listen.
