Summary
Set three years after the conclusion of Impulse, it's summer in Manchester, Alabama once again. Preston Lindsay, now eighteen years old and enjoying his last summer before college begins, finds himself once again reminiscing on the past and on Bart Allen. Three years and there's been no word from his best friend. But one day he reappears and neither Preston or Bart are the same again.
The voice drew him back. It drew him back in time, way waaaaaaaaaay back. Just like Alice finding her way to Wonderland, his mind followed a brown hare down the rabbit hole as he was pulled back to junior high, back to when the sun shined brighter, when each day meant a new adventure with his best friend with his funny quirks and ways. He heard his voice and knew it shouldn’t have been possible. His hand trembled the slightest. His mouth felt dry. He didn’t want to lower his camera and be disappointed that his ears were tricking him. He didn’t want to know that he had just misheard the voice, but he could have sworn he heard him, he heard....“Bart?”
Update: Chapter 2 is solely a list of every reference, along with what comic they come from, I put in this fic. There is no new content.

Deal With the Devil, Sign on the Dotted Line by SleepySpeedster

Summary
Long gone are the days of the boy, the stripling hero, playing pretend in tailored Armani suits on Vandal Savage’s buck.
Never would he go back to being that scared hapless teenager, that boy, continually used, lied to, and chewed up and spat out by the world. There would be no more sweating over the deep fryer of the Clucky Chicken, no more slaving for minimum wage to pay his rent when he had such infinite potential, no more wearing that ridiculous chicken suit, no more passing out flyers on the street regardless of rain or shine, and no more dreaming of the simplest of necessities like a refrigerator.
Ray Terrill had money now. He had power. And he wanted more.
He would have what he wanted.
Exactly when he wanted it.
***
Fifteen years into the future, Ray and Vandal Savage strike a deal that neither man can refuse.
(Basically I thought it'd be fun if they had a toxic, sometimes sexual, work relationship. See the notes at the beginning if you're unfamiliar with The Ray #25 and #26.)

Dispersed Time AU by SleepySpeedster
Fandom Batman (Comics), Batman Beyond, DCU, DCU (Comics), The Flash (Comics), The Flash - All Media Types
22 Mar 2023
Summary
Collection of Fics that belong in my Dispersed Time alternate universe. [Currently ordered as published; not in the AU's chronological order]
All exist separately from each other. There's no recommended reading order. I'm just writing these as they go and they'll find an order later on.Premise: An AU where Thad has suddenly found himself alive and displaced in time. Thad sees this as a chance to somewhat redeem himself and goes about this by righting the wrongs of his family, the Thawne family, and attempts to get rid of them regardless of the cost of his own existence. In this AU Thad comes into contact with Terry McGinnis multiple times, both in a new costume and under a new alias and out of costume while attending Gotham University. This eventually leads to a temporary team up between Thad and Terry, eventually a friendship between the two young men who haven't always been good in their lives, and then maybe something more or unrequited feelings.

This is so goddamn good! The characterization, the descriptions, the humor, bittersweet feelings, all of it. It fills me with so many feelings. There's so much I want to say about it because of how good it is!!!

Bookmarker's Notes
This was so good! I adore it so much! You really get the love of Starman (1994) and Shade in the writing and also the love of Opal that you feel in the comics as well.
