Summary
Everything’s gone quiet now, and he basks in the silence as he makes his way down the hallway, even though a silent theatre doesn’t feel much like one; it’s meant to be bristling with that exciteful pre-show spirit, lit by smiles and bodies and healthy nervous jitters, with laughter and people shouting back and forth. Now, there’s a vacuum humming somewhere in the lobby, an old radio crackling with static, and—
Was that someone singing?

Summary
“Don’t be nervous,” his mother hushes, and wipes a non-existent piece of lint off his shoulder, all in the hopes of making him into something other than what the Administration labelled him.
There were times he hated her for that, because it meant she saw him as someone imperfect and not the son she’d prayed for; but there were times he couldn’t, when he tried to do the same — that’s why he’s here today as well, for the most part; to do what’s expected, what’s proper, what will lighten the yoke weighted across his shoulders.
Today he marries Blaine Anderson.

Summary
“The multiverse theory of quantum physics,” Doctor Wells’ voice echoes through the auditorium, the room too big for them, but it’s the one auditorium the school could spare at this time for Dr. Wells’ Lucky Fifteen. “Simply put, it posits the existence of an infinite number of parallel universes that exists concurrently with our own.”

Summary
He struggles wrangling his keys from his jacket, but as his eyes fall to the hallway floor, he notices a light coming from under the door. Why would Sebastian be home?
It’s seven on a Tuesday, and even if Sebastian hadn’t mentioned he’d be late this morning he still wouldn’t have expected him home for at least another two hours. His routine had become predictable that way.

Summary
The total sum of those few hours’ work at the library was his unequivocal conviction that he met his match in Caitlin Snow. The way her mouth moved around words like ‘sidereal’ and ‘orbital period’, how she talked with her hands and recited the Earth’s gravitational constant by heart took him hook, line and sinker. Or rather; sine, cosine and tangent, though he thoroughly decided to leave the math puns out of their equation.
[For the better part of two years Barry Allen has quietly harbored a crush on Caitlin Snow, his lab partner in AP Chemistry. Then all of a sudden Barry musters up the courage to ask Caitlin out on a study date, quickly turning their relationship into something it might not be.]

Summary
“Once upon a time, when the days were long, and the nights were deep, the Dark dwelled in the fringes of the human world. Each night it tried to invade, and each night it failed, beat back by the Light that lived in every living being.”
“Inside me, too, mom?” Barry asked, and looked up from his pillow, at his mom’s red hair gleaming in the moonlight, at her soft mesmerizing smile, and skin that shone as if kissed by diamonds.
[One day, as he’s exploring the woods around North Hollow, Barry hears a voice which leads him to an abandoned house in the forest. Unaware of any dangers, he makes a terrible discovery up in the attic, one that’s certain to turn his life -and the lives of those around him- upside down.]

“You’re–” Cisco points at Barry, eyes wide and disbelieving and his heart picks up speed just considering it, “and you’re–”
He points at Caitlin with his other hand, then crosses and uncrosses his arms a few times trying to signal the word he can’t wrap his mind around.

Summary
“Okay, tough stuff.” Barry laughs, and takes on a more balanced stance, mindful of the woman he’s teaching; Caitlin Snow, a self-proclaimed Egyptologist who has inexplicably managed to drag him back here, to Hamunaptra. City of the Dead.

Summary
“I don’t want to fall asleep,” she whispers, a glint in her eyes of the same fearful thing that’d haunted him for the past three weeks- but now, nearing the end, his heart has found calm.
In no small part because of Caitlin.
The countdown had driven most of those around them insane.
An Earth-killer, the news had called the asteroid. Judgment Day. The Rapture.
For some reason, it’d stopped both of them stock-still.

Summary
Two weeks ago Caitlin had bet him $10 to go up to Lisa Snart and ask her out with his mouth full of peanuts, which ended up embarrassing him not only in front of a beautiful dame, but quite a few of their mutual friends.
It’d earned him ten dollars, but still, his pride could only take so much. Before the Incident he’d wanted to ask Lisa out for real, now he could barely look her in the eyes long enough to place his coffee order.
A dare involving a paid sex study seems exactly the payback he’s looking for.

Summary
People say Sebastian Smythe is a man who lost his faith.
As a man of science he never put much stock in those kinds of beliefs; God is a reassurance to those who need comforting, nothing but a figment of a hopeful mind, and while he has nothing against God or religion, he couldn’t say why losing that faith should define a man so staunchly.

“I’ve done it,” he confesses. “Travelled through time.”
Blaine’s silence speaks volumes about how well he reads the telltale signs of his apprehension – this isn’t a story he should burden Blaine with, because that’s all it’ll ever be to him, a story, a figment of another time and another place, one he erased because—
Oh God. He had to.

[Seblaine Week: NYU!Seblaine] “Hmm,” he hums, inhaling a lungful of smoke, holding it for a few seconds before slowly exhaling, his body sinking long into the mattress beneath them. He passes the joint to Blaine, who lies blissed out next to him, both of them staring up at the night sky, Blaine’s iPod between their heads playing music he doesn’t recognize.
