worked too damn hard for this

Summary:

pipes: brain cell coming through
irisbest: can you believe hartley admits to having no braincells
babybibibi: honestly shook
pipes: ‘tis a meme
oliverqueer: great cisco ruined hartley
transco: it’s an honor

(The new semester brings us development at VERDANT, new members of the uni club and revelations on all sides. But most importantly: Will Joe rethink the family he built himself?)

Takes place April - July 2018.

Notes:

hello and welcome to the third part of the groupchat au!
we're picking up right where the other left off, so i hope you enjoy it as much!

we're continuing the trend of cringey pop music titles by using a line from 5 seconds of summer's she looks so perfect

(See the end of the work for more notes and other works inspired by this one.)

Chapter Text

irisbest : could we PLEASE get an update

irisbest : the peace of my family is at stake

oliverqueen : so dramatic

irisbest : excuse you my dad just found out we’ve been lying to him for a month this LITERALLY is my family peace

pipes : i wouldn’t say you lied to him

transco : even mick can’t stand an upset cait

pipes : so i talked to wally

pipes : joe did take their phones, yes

pipes : and the situation is Tense™

bilance : so i take it west doesn’t know that wally knew

oliverqueer : this is another bomb just waiting to go off

lesbianda : cisco rlly

transco : it’s a reflex i’m sorry

bilance : what else did you get out of the small west

pipes : nothing about snart

transco : mick if we all say we’re sorry are you gonna talk to us

bilance : ten minutes of silence

bilance : i think that’s a no

oliverqueer : maybe he just fell asleep

babybibibi : well im glad i didnt miss anything then

babybibibi : did any of you go to eddie’s room yet

pipes : oh

oliverqueer : this group has one brain cell and it lives in cait & ronnie’s apartment

lesbianda : now i feel stupid

bilance : eddie was right last night he really isnt allowed to pass on info

bilance : i vote we just. Wait

transco : but im impatient

bilance : well you can always go check in on your best friend

lesbianda : so can i

lesbianda : WAIT. i have an IDEA

oliverqueer : the brain cell jumps

lesbianda : hartley ask wally if joe has to work today

lesbianda : also when does everyone have free time

babybibibi : cait has a tutorium until 2

transco : while hart is busy texting wally

transco : he’s got work in an hour until 6

oliverqueer : why does he have a 5h shift

babybibibi : mercury is weird af

transco : y’all do realize that hartley obviously doesn’t work full time right

oliverqueer : oh right

bilance : what was your idea linda

lesbianda : we should ALL come clean with joe

pipes : what

transco : um sorry but i quite enjoy life

babybibibi : joe west doesn’t even know i exist

oliverqueer : i’ve been threatened by enough cops to last a lifetime

oliverqueer : plus, unlike the rest of you all i have no links towards him outside of this chat so it’s not like /I/ keep anything from him

lesbianda : and this is precisely why sara is the chatmom you coward

oliverqueer : i feel like we always keep circling back to the same three topics here

oliverqueer : and they’re all hateful towards me

pipes : come to think of it eddie hasn’t talked about incest in a while

bilance : ronnie you literally had dinner with the kid of his that’s not in this chat

bilance : face it we all have ties to him that might have been caused by this group but can be viewed as independent as well

bilance : that being said don’t you dare oull off another stunt without me

transco : when do you come back again

babybibibi : wtf what’s your tie to him

bilance : my dad you doofus

babybibibi : oh right

bilance : @ cisco in a week

lesbianda : soon!

bilance : yeah :(

pipes : don’t be too enthusiastic about seeing us all again

bilance : excuse you im leaving my gf and a fucking great country behind here shut up

transco : valid

oliverqueer : eddie is still asleep in his room and he HAS been out for quite a while so we’ll let him sleep

bilance : did dig say so

oliverqueer : yep

lesbianda : lmao

pipes : yeah so i guess it’s irrelevant that joe’s got the day off except for this talk with snart and singh?

babybibibi : since we’re rescheduling that intervention for a while,,

lesbianda : good so let’s discuss what we’ll do with the club next semester

oliverqueer : are you taking over that organisation too

lesbianda : obviously

bilance : linda you fucking legend

lesbianda : :^)

transco : i’d rather wait until we’re all back online tbh

pipes : yeah

babybibibi : agreed

oliverqueer : it’s only the first week anyway so we got time

lesbianda : if this all backfires i’ll kick your asses 6 years into the future

pipes : at least iris will be president then

babybibibi : iris west 2k24

transco : we stan

bilance : see that? They’d all gladly miss your presidency linda

lesbianda : hold my flower sara

bilance : gotcha

spACEbar : that’s so NICE

babybibibi : we’re fam

irisbest : so we’re all dying together

lesbianda : yep, as soon as sara is back

oliverqueer : sara loves dying

transco : big fan of bar just ignoring cait

lesbianda : where is sara even

oliverqueer : idk maybe movie night with ra’s

transco : that’s nyssa’s dad right

transco : somehow he doesn’t vibe me like the guy for movie nights

babybibibi : don’t underestimate sara’s ability to manipulate ppl

oliverqueer : im glad i didn’t have to be the one to point it out

pipes : we don’t want you to die actually

snowflake : nobody does

irisbest : except that conspiracy theory on instagram

oliverqueer : the what now

irisbest : YOU DON’T KNOW????

irisbest : oliver babe you need to check your tagged pictures for once

oliverqueer : on my official acc? I never check that lmao

detectiveprettybi : why do you check that iris

irisbest : bc oliver is famous and has hot famous friends????

irisbest : anyway

transco : grabs popcorn

transco : am i missing my subway for this? Absolutely

pipes : mendez will kill you

transco : no he won’t. Mendez is a cinnamon roll

irisbest : there’s been a post claiming that oliver won’t make it to 2020 like idk it was kind of a joke but now it’s a whole big thing and meme like ted cruz being the zodiac killer and i can’t believe y’all aren’t unaware?????? I’m disappointed in the meme experts

babybibibi : first of all, ted cruz IS the zodiac killer

transco : im sorry that i don’t stalk memes about my friends

oliverqueer : well that does leave me one and a half years at least

lesbianda : does it say anything about the exact time? Like is it gonna be a last call, december or something

pipes : linda needs to plan the obituary already

lesbianda : rip oliver jonas queen 1991 - 2019. Beloved son, brother, husband and father.

oliverqueer : oh so im getting married with a kid, too? Jesus those are gonna be exciting months

lesbianda : yeah it’s a wild time, i got it all planned

irisbest : how do we make oliver’s impending death even sadder - an essay

transco : your kid should be born shortly before you die

lesbianda : giving him a few days of happiness? The cruelest

irisbest : i love it

oliverqueer : im glad you all enjoy my death so much

oliverqueer : doesn’t beat tommy’s death fantasies though

pipes : tommy’s what now

babybibibi : hart no need for a boner

pipes : fuck you

oliverqueer : tommy once told me that if he dies he wants it to happen in the middle of may so i can never have a happy birthday ever again

transco : IF he dies

detectiveprettybi : that’s so fucked up i love it

irisbest : give tommy a meaningful death 2k18

snowflake : why are we discussing deaths

pipes : why not

transco : i’ve always wanted to fake my death

lesbianda : you wouldn’t be able to keep your mouth shut cisco lbr

babybibibi : i said this once already but: going down in a motherfucking explosion

irisbest : stabbing. I wanna go down in close combat

spACEbar : iRIS

spACEbar : im not gonna let you go down like that

pipes : personally i’ve always loved the idea of just fucking off never to be seen again

lesbianda : that’s a good one

lesbianda : i discussed that with patty once and we decided it’s a dream

pipes : wally gave me the idea actually

lesbianda : you, me and wally, let’s go

transco : truly an ot3

babybibibi : should be a comic book

snowflake : cisco did you ever leave for class

transco : [image attached]

snowflake : im proud

spACEbar : how does tomym want to die @ oliver

oliverqueer : heroic gesture

detectiveprettybi : don’t we all want that

bilance : im not around for a while and yall decide to recycle stuff we already discussed like a year ago

transco : no last time was death deja vus that we DID have, now it’s our dream death

Chapter Text

transco : i need holidays

spACEbar : it’s literally been only three days

transco : you know what? Actually i want joe to take your phone again

babybibibi : :0

babybibibi : cruel

spACEbar : woah

spACEbar : iris is back to being my only best friend

transco : she’s more your sister shut up

captaincold : damn ramon go and get laid

snowflake : protection activated

lesbianda : lmao cait

lesbianda : did we ever settle whether you guys are okay again @ coldbar

irisbest : you’re really going with that one huh

lesbianda : y’all will too and then any other shipname will look stupid to the world

babybibibi : i doubt that anyone in the world will care

snowflake : :o

pipes : engagement revoked

lesbianda : i want an answer!

captaincold : you’re usually so good at snooping

captaincold : stop texting mick you aint subtle

lesbianda : don’t wanna be subtle

lesbianda : y’all know i’m a nosy bitch

pipes : talking to mick truly ruined you

pipes : where’s the linda who would have had my head for saying bitch

lesbianda : i’d still have your head for that mr “afab ppl grow facial hair???”

pipes : … fu

lesbianda : bar got awfully quiet

bilance : don’t say anything save some drama for when I’m back

bilance : 4 days!!!

transco : do you miss us

bilance : nah

lesbianda : rude

bilance : I don’t see most of y’all irl usually so it’s not like I’d have more interaction with you

pipes : what about the quiver

bilance : i’ve spent most of my life with the majority of people there

oliverqueer : only laurel, tommy and me but ok

bilance : see y’all being so annoying is why i dont miss ya

captaincold : mood

transco : i was just gonna say sara sounds like possessed by snart

lesbianda : i’m seeing a clear case of “i soon have to leave my gf and i already miss her”

lesbianda : it’s highly infectious if you had it before so im :((

lesbianda : its missing my gf o’clock

transco : :(((

pipes : go call her idk sounds like a plan

spACEbar : how’s everyone so savage today

bilance : did we ever tell you about that time ray befriended some dude called savage

captaincold : there was a guy. Called savage.

bilance : yeah u jealous

babybibibi : sh i wanna hear that story

bilance : it was in hell

transco : good opener

bilance : well close enough anyways, it was public transport during one of the hottest days of the year. Naturally the AC was dead and everyone was annoyed bc the train also kept standing in the middle of nowhere for an hour, you know how it is.

bilance : but our dear ray of sunshine (heh) didn’t have any of it but made the dude stuck with him play some board game (i think it was jenga??? Only ray would randomly have that in his suit case i swear)

bilance : and yeah, he’s kinda creepy and shit but his name is savage and how crazy is that

captaincold : raymond truly is a lot to take in

pipes : ray is a snake charmer

transco : give him any snake and you come out with a balloon animal

babybibibi : that’s such a bad metaphor sco what the hell

transco : i’m tired

snowflake : then sleep!!!

transco : stellar advice thank you

irisbest : lmao

lesbianda : drop your sarcastic attitude towards cait right now

snowflake : ok this is cute but you do realize that cisco and i are best friends too and i can deal with him

oliverqueer : caitlin coming through with a reality check here

lesbianda : i--

irisbest : yeah that makes sense

spACEbar : sharing being cisco’s bff with cait is an honor

transco : ah so now we’re bffs again

spACEbar : <3

transco : ok you’re forgiven

detectiveprettybi : cisco and his hufflepuff bffs

bilance : isn’t cait a ravenclaw. I feel like she is

oliverqueer : ^ yeah

babybibibi : nah she’s a hufflepuff alright

snowflake : i spent my life believing i was a ravenclaw, then pottermore came along and told me i was a hufflepuff and then i realized it makes way more sense

oliverqueer : that’s the opposite of sara’s hogwarts house story

bilance : don’t start with that

irisbest : well now we wanna know

captaincold : are you telling me lance is no slytherin

bilance : THANK YOU

bilance : at least one person knows what’s right

oliverqueer : you are a gryffindor sara jkr personally said so

bilance : jkr also thinks she’s sneaky when she calls the werewolf wolf but in latin and the snake snake but in sanskrit

pipes : jkr also thinks the word of god is actual rep

transco : jkr also thinks romione would break up

irisbest : JKR THINKS WHAT NOW

transco : YEAH DIDN’T YOU SEE THAT ARTICLE A FEW WEEKS BACK

transco : [link attached]

babybibibi : harmione shipper rights!

lesbianda : i thought we made it clear that there’s no discussions on harry potter characters or ships in this chat here

lesbianda : on the other hand, ronnie i can’t believe you’d disrespect the most iconic slowburn like that

oliverqueer : lets go back to the fact that sara won’t accept that she’s a freaking gryffindor

snowflake : yeah our own hogwarts houses are a safe topic i guess

bilance : im not a fucking gryffindor im dangerous

oliverqueer : so are gryffindors!

bilance : im vicious

oliverqueer : peter pettigrew

bilance : are you comparing me to a RAT

pipes : hey what’s wrong with rats

captaincold : i have to laugh, did oliver queen just call peter pettigrew “vicious”

lesbianda : literally what the fuck did I just say

transco : the other day I saw someone on tumblr with a pettigrew url and I just went. The fuck.

oliverqueer : okay maybe vicious is the wrong word

oliverqueer : but actually what else would you call betraying your best friend in cold blood and keeping it a secret, framing your other best friend and blowing a street up while simultaneously cutting off your finger and transforming into an animal

lesbianda : i give up

babybibibi : is Oliver Queen a Peter pettigrew apologist

oliverqueer : no im just telling facts

oliverqueer : and another thing is people forgetting peter when writing about the young marauders

transco : damn we set him off

transco : so what’s everyone else’s Hogwarts house

irisbest : well sorry Sara but

irisbest : slytherin B)

bilance : i don’t know what you mean it’s just like me!

pipes : well, same

lesbianda : yup

babybibibi : where my ravenclaws at

transco : I think we’re the only ones

transco : unless?

detectiveprettybi : Nope gryffindor

oliverqueer : ^

pipes : Snart what about u and mick

captaincold : guess we’re both slytherins

babybibibi : what bc you’re criminals?

spACEbar : ambitious, cunning, resourceful

spACEbar : fits

transco : what do you mean “guess”

transco : I want pottermore results!

captaincold : I’ve never in my life fucking seen pottermore

pipes : Snart pls we need answers

bilance : i wanna Know if someone else gets lied to

oliverqueer : Sara i get that you’re literally the definition of a slytherdor or whatever the hybrid is called

oliverqueer : but please look at the forming traits of gryffindor and then keep telling us they don’t fit

bilance : …

bilance : fuck you

bilance : least I don’t defend the dude who killed off Cedric Diggory

spACEbar : were spiraling so hard I love this

irisbest : did we know Oliver is such a potter stan

lesbianda : no but I love it

transco : what’s next, Oliver had a secret twilight phase?

oliverqueer : i Pride myself in the fact that I have never read or watched any of that

bilance : Oliver “what the hell is Twilight” Queen

bilance : Tommy “you’re so better off not knowing” Merlyn

bilance : actual conversation

spACEbar : hmmm?

heatwave : yeah he’s been typing for a while

pipes : mick! what Hogwarts House are you

captaincold : The thing with twilight is that the characters aren’t explored enough, even the three main ones who you’d think you know best. Do we get more than the Basics about Bellas life before forks? No and its fucking bullshit to hear how she’s had to baby her mum all the time and yet whenever she shows up she seems like a capable woman who has her life in check. It could have been a factor of Bella’s caring and worry about other people (as seen when she constantly cooks for Charlie or worries about the cullens breaking their vow when she could’ve actually gotten hurt in comparison) but she remains shallow in that part. That being sad Bella’s one of the most stubborn characters we have ever encountered. Actually I think Edward is the character we learn and understand most of, then comes Jacob bc the part written from his pov demonstrates a lot of his past and present, as cringey as his future is, and then Rosalie and Carlisle with their stories. The others? Tough luck. Meyer screwed us over by creating interesting characters and never exploring them deeply enough. Hell, we don’t even learn anything about Bella’s school friends and while that shows her disinterest in them as a contrast to her behaviour towards the cullens it could’ve been done better

heatwave : no fucking clue

captaincold : that being said the world she has created is very interesting, though, with the volturi and shapeshifters she created opponents that keep the story alive, as does the dedication everyone has towards one another

lesbianda : what

irisbest : holy shit

spACEbar : yep

transco : SNART IS A TWIHARD?

heatwave : yep

babybibibi : FUCK

detectiveprettybi : this is amazing

heatwave : y’all shut the fuck up

heatwave : twilight ruined vampires

bilance : im guessing they’re settling this irl now

snowflake : I am genuinely worried about their hospital bills

pipes : mood

Notes:

don't worry, you'll get your coldbar drama soon. had to give them a break lmao
also, you know how hartley's "afab ppl grow facial hair?????" was an exaggeration on my part (or so i thought)? turns out lgbt+ cis guys truly have no idea about shit, my brother was shook to learn about that recently too when looking into my face too closely lmao

Chapter 5

Summary:

are we moving forward? nobody can tell

Notes:

exciting things this weekend:
- played jenga for the first time in my life and destroyed people's lives. how did ray and savage befriend each other over this when my friends and i were close to killing each other
- i saw a production of spring awakening!!!!!! it was by students so it wasn't the greatest and i'm probably the most critical audience for that musical so I have a lot of thoughts regardless. they're here on my twitter

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

lesbianda : doubt

pipes : yeah babe doubt

transco : you forgot the png

detectiveprettybi : we have three jokes and every now and then we remember them

babybibibi : personally every now and then i fall apart

bilance : wow

spACEbar : hell even we have no idea

lesbianda : me neither mick just won’t tell me

lesbianda : and the same goes for the relationship drama here

spACEbar : bc there’s nothing to know

detectiveprettybi : shit u didnt even talk yet

spACEbar : no

pipes : shit

transco : oh what??

snowflake : that’s. Not good.

lesbianda : maybe one of his punishments is that he isn’t allowed to talk to you

derectiveprettybi : sure makes sense

irisbest : absolutely and very professional

bilance : i can JUST see Singh agree to that

captaincold : not that it’s any of your business

captaincold : but I was gonna wait until the weekend

transco : why

spACEbar : well you could’ve told me that at least

captaincold : bc i figured the beginning of the Semester would be stressful enough for bar

spACEbar : lmao.

irisbest : uh-oh

spACEbar : and you didn’t think having one less bullshit to deal with would actually help with that

spACEbar : or like

spACEbar : ask ME when I’d feel okay with having that conversation

babybibibi : anyone else feel like when you visited a friend and suddenly he and his mom start fighting in front of you and you don’t know what to do

transco : i usually was that friend

pipes : i didn’t have friends

lesbianda : did they move that argument into a private chat

snowflake : i sure hope

irisbest : pray for coldbar

bilance : we truly love our gallows humor

babybibibi : hart don’t drag us down here

pipes : well sorry that my childhood wasnt so wholesome

detectiveprettybi : you are the poster child for ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ huh

pipes : at least that

lesbianda : if anything he’s the poster child for ‘it gets better’

pipes : @ dan savage hire me

babybibibi : you should have played kenny o’neal

transco : ohhhh

irisbest : hartley as an actor? I cant see it

pipes : kenny’s bf was cute ill take it

pipes : rude, iris

lesbianda : we all have our talents hartley and yours just isn’t acting

detectiveprettybi : how are your fics maybe writing is your secret talent

pipes : i don’t actually write fics

detectiveprettybi : then you should try

transco : stop bullying my boyfriend

snowflake : aw

bilance : cute

irisbest : oh bar left the house

snowflake : eye emoji

transco : eye emoji

pipes : eye emoji

babybibibi : eye emoji

lesbianda : eye emoji

detectiveprettybi : eye emoji

bilance : eye emoji

irisbest : they didnt say anything but they were still fuming i think so maybe they’e just going for a run

pipes : bar goes running?

irisbest : yeah from time to time

babybibibi : jogging is a hobby i never understood

transco : yeah humans should only run when they’re in a hurry

bilance : I would never have expected Sara to fraternize with such lazy human beings.

lesbianda : Nyssa!!!!!

irisbest : hello Nyssa

detectiveprettybi : Oliver is not here to be roasted I’m sorry

bilance : It’s cute that you think Oliver is any of my concern.

transco : I love the badass aura radiating from nyssa

babybibibi : no fucks given

pipes : how can we help you nyssa

bilance : I just wanted to make sure you are all ready to give my Beloved the welcome that she deserves.

transco : are you talking about a party?

bilance : Perhaps.

babybibibi : were great at those

heatwave : im in

pipes : m i  c k

bilance : Sara will arrive at 9:54pm your time on Sunday. Be prepared.

detectiveprettybi : dig is picking her up right

bilance : Yes.

bilance : Now, I want this to be a surprise. How to I delete messages?

transco : just hold them and then a window pops up where you can delete

pipes : we all better continue our conversation as it were huh

bilance : This sounds like the logical solution, yes.

bilance : You must be the clever one.

transco : oh no

pipes : :3c i’m the clever one

irisbest : bye nyssa!

lesbianda : im love you nyssa

bilance : You are a weird bunch.

bilance : But, regardless, thank you for cooperating.

bilance : Goodbye.

babybibibi : she’s so lovely

transco : really heartwarming

transco : anyway yeah im hella lazy i only run when im outta twizzlers

detectiveprettybi : how aren’t you fat

transco : dude did you see my face? Im blessed with hella good genes

irisbest : consider: pretty fat people exist

lesbianda : oh they sure do

babybibibi : in this group we love people regardless of their body type

detectiveprettybi : im hella bi for everyone

bilance : big mood

pipes : also cisco HAS a little tummy

transco : HARTLEY

pipes : what? It’s cute

lesbianda : awwwwww

transco : i feel attacked here

babybibibi : it really is adorable

detectiveprettybi : im sure it is

transco : now im blushing

pipes : oh when he speaks you blush

irisbest : :’DDD

lesbianda : okay that was weird

heatwave : hella

transco : hey mick anything about the coldbar situation

detectiveprettybi : suave

heatwave : idk snart’s left some time ago

snowflake : how long are we supposed to wait!!!!

snowflake : i feel like this drama has been going on for like three months!!!!

pipes : i agree we get updates so rarely

babybibibi : honestly i feel like we only get them once a week

transco : and they’re really dragging this out

bilance : i think they just don’t know how to resolve it

bilance : like? At least they’re finally talking apparently

detectiveprettybi : i just wish someone were to write that conversation down

irisbest : i wish someone knew how exactly that convo goes down

lesbianda : whoever’s leading our lives here surely doesn’t have a single clue huh

pipes : nope

snowflake : you talk as if God were an overwhelmed person who’s not happy with their life and uses us as a coping mechanism but doesn’t know shit about relationships so they can’t possibly imagine how to get them out of that mess

transco : i’m not supposed to have an image of god in my mind

transco : 1st commandment

heatwave : stop the existential crisis

lesbianda : better listen to mick

snowflake : #prayforcoldbar

pipes : ^

Notes:

- all comparisons between me and God are probably gonna land me in hell, no matter if they're a joke or not, huh
- @ everyone who knows the real o'neals: yes, that was a spring awakening reference. yes, i'm gonna come back to ramona young playing someone in the arrowverse now.

irisbest : my fav real-life thriller

captaincold : course it is

irisbest : u want beef bc lemme tell you ripping off your balls is still on the table

captaincold : not fear, respect

captaincold : y’all are pussies

lesbianda : i could go into a feminist rant now about pussies as an insult but i’m just bathing in the respecting women juice

babybibibi : tbh i’d have thought he just… lets her be

irisbest : oh in case hart checks the chat: bar’s finally left too

detectiveprettybi : one day they will be on time

oliverqueer : not everyone’s the same ronnie

heatwave : now get out of the fucking bathroom

lesbianda : i love that snart is the person who hides when he’s on the phone

captaincold : the last ounce of privacy

bilance : don’t act like you aint gonna shack up together as well when you get out of there

captaincold : you got me there

captaincold : but consider: separate rooms

transco : whenever i think that my apartment is a shithole i think of you two and then i feel better

heatwave : glad to be of service

snowflake : everyone who has class at 9 let’s go!!

oliverqueer : sighs

bilance : see y’all @ the wests’ house later

Notes:

in case you didn't know, alex boniello was the second connor murphy in dear evan hansen's broadway run. had his broadway premiere in (you guessed it) deaf awakening, where he stayed alongside andy mientus aka hartley rathaway. they bully each other on twitter. it's amazing

soon i will quit with the spring awakening reference that nobody gets i promise

also! shameless self promo: check out my dick grayson & clark kent relationship study if you're interested.

lesbianda : excUSE ME

oliverqueer : why the fuck does my stepfather look like Clark Kent’s uncle

oliverqueer : I’m too tired for this

pipes : that’s what defeat looks like

Notes:

oliver's step-father looking like clark's uncle is a reference to krypton (a fucking great dctv pls watch it) bc they're played by the same actor - and also who clark's uncle is is the greatest mindfuck ever that i still doubt to this day - and i still can't believe sofie doctormissy beat me to including krypton to our messes smh

Notes:

idek what happened here i'm not too much of an ari fan myself and i know she's problematic as hell but i guess cisco's just a simple gay

Chapter 12

Summary:

i've had people on my social media decide whether glee exists in this universe or not and now these kids have to deal with the consequences

irisbest : i mean… KINDA i guess

snowflake : we found bar’s doppelgänger!!!

pipes : i stanned him, he had nice character development

captaincold : ah great and i thought we found an evil version of bar

lesbianda : if you only watch the first half of s3 you can definitely have that

irisbest : eye emoji

bilance : EYE EMOJI

bilance : i don’t agree with oliver easily but he DOES look like bar

oliverqueer : told you

babybibibi : shit this is so funny happy birthday to me

transco : everyone lets meet up at the quiver to watch glee

spACEbar : he doesn’t look like me??

spACEbar : his face is, like, sharper and meaner and

spACEbar : his hair??????

pipes : yeah that’s bad s5 hair actually

lesbianda : i stopped watching after s3 tbh

oliverqueer : s4 for me

babybibibi : i love that oliver has a history of watching gay shit and yet he hadn’t even realized he was queer until like recently

bilance : legendary

transco : oh hey snart did mick throw you out

captaincold : no i just chatted with rolf

oliverqueer : i…… did know i was queer i just didn’t admit it to myself? 

oliverqueer : which is funyn considering that i fucking founded this group at that time

pipes : right the porter had a name

snowflake : so proud of you oliver

irisbest : [stan loona voice] stan ollie!

pipes : did you play poker again snart

captaincold : lmao you remember that

transco : it was only 4 months ago

babybibibi : BABE

captaincold : impressive abs actually

transco : can you bring that pudding

detectiveprettybi : we have actual vla at the quiver

transco : what the fuck is vla

bilance : pudding for rich ppl

pipes : dutch pudding

oliverqueer : it’s very good

oliverqueer : ‘for rich ppl’ it doesn’t even cost much

babybibibi : ok we’re joining

spACEbar : can’t wait to show y’all that aint me

captaincold : ofc it isnt

snowflake : aw

pipes : that’s what you missed on

oliverqueer : GLEE

pipes : GLEE

lesbianda : GLEE

heatwave : wtf

Notes:

here a summary of references bc i promised to do that now:

- the image that hartley shares is a screenshot of this tweet, where kevin mchale (who played artie in glee) basically comes out to public lmao
- grant gustin was in glee in case you didn't know (as were many more actors of the arrowverse but if i kept making jokes about that doublecasting there would nothing else ever be accomplished. other popular contestants: stein, felicity's ex, felicity's mum, KARA, cat grant's elder son, the fire dude from the ep where iris is the flash, the music meister, SIN) so that makes that doppelgänger thing funny
- also hartley never watching anything beyond the pilot of smash is funny (hopefully) bc his actor andy mientus has been on the show (which i haven't seen because hey, it felt too much and too little like glee for me at the same time lol)
- i have no idea if vla exists in the us but here in germany it's a popular pudding brand (and vla is literaly dutch for pudding)

Chapter 13

hartley and eddie are idiots

Notes:

- they watched the first ep of grant gustin's character sebastian (3x05 the first time) where the glee club presents a production of west side story, seb and some other guys are going to a gay bar, he gets introduced during a performance of uptown girl and it's THE BEST
- the michael jackson ep is one where two glee clubs fight over who can do mj at a competition, it reaches its peak when grant gustin's character throws a slushie with rock salt into another guy's face. back in the day we really thought he did get shot based on promo stills and our craziness alone
- my sister and her best friend are looking for a flat together atm so you can see what rathathawne's??? thawneway??? thathaway???? idiocy is coming from

lesbianda : not harry potter again

lesbianda : [image attached]

irisbest : using a dreamworks meme against oliver lol 

oliverqueer : the incredibles is disney wtf

detectiveprettybi : so lemme summarize hartley is a genius who got in and outta school way too early, studies like a thousand things and got a job in it, knows 6 langauges AND an instrument

transco : can you see why i hated him for so long lmao

pipes : two instruments

detectiveprettybi : TWO INSTRUMENTS?????

transco : oh right i forgot about the piano incident

pipes : literally how the fuck

transco : it wasn’t the most memorable moment where i wanted to strangle you

heatwave : kinky

lesbianda : can we please get the story

detectiveprettybi : i’m overwhelmed

spACEbar : eddie’s too impressed to move in with hart after all

pipes : looking back at it now makes it even better tbh

transco : NO IT MAKES IT WORSE

transco : I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT NOW I UDNERSTAND WHY DANTE WAS *SO* UNCOMFRTOABLE ON CHRISTMAS

bilance : PLEASE TELL US

transco : there was some event at high school idek what anymore and we had to produce a band outta thin air 

transco : bc our school mriaculously didn’t have one

pipes : nobody ever cared about that before so like

transco : so basically everyone who ever knew how to play any instrument got called together

transco : and hartley, because he is an ass, didn’t just take the flute even though he was the only one there for it

transco : no he had to go for the piano

spACEbar : isn’t the piano like the most basic instrument

pipes : next to the guitar it’s the msot popular, yes

transco : don’t call me out

transco : so yeah. Plenty of people

transco : among them my brother

lesbianda : eye emoji

captaincold : was pipes as horny back then

pipes : the start of being horny

babybibibi : ™

bilance : oh god no

irisbest : DID HE

transco : OF COURSE HE DID

transco : hartley, with zero experience in flirting, using fucking bad pick up lines on my BROTHER

spACEbar : how straight exactly is dante

transco : very

pipes : the best thing about it was how pissed cisco got really

captaincold : literally how were you unaware of your crush on him

captaincold : you flirt with his brother aka a person who looks somewhat like him and pay attention to how much it pisses him off 

heatwave : typical mortal enemy behaviour

babybibibi : honestly enemies, mutual pining, same thing really

lesbianda : i hate this person so much i’m gonna spend all my waking moment thinking about them

lesbianda : sounds straight

lesbianda : it’s exactly my book fhgkghgjgkg

spACEbar : yeah shouldn’t you be reading

lesbianda : i took a break to BREATHE

lesbianda : bar they’re so DUMB

spACEbar : you are allowed to spoiler me as much as you want

lesbianda : I LOVE YOU

captaincold : you’d know about that

bilance : nah oliver would

oliverqueer : you know how are you always doing this when you obviously agreed to dating me

detectiveprettybi : 1 2 3 fight!

Notes:

Linda may advocate for everyone to shut up about Harry Potter, but here I am telling you to GO READ MY HARRY POTTER FIC IT'S GAY

Chapter 16

Summary:

a look into hartley's phone

Notes:

originally i had meant to write the scene set the evening before this chapter (as in, how does hartley end up at cait & ronnie's??) as an interlude, but that just wouldn't happen. so here you see how hartley actually communicates and deals with his breakdown, all the while cheered on by ronnie <3
basically, this is mostly set throughout most of the last chapter bc hartley can multitask (ofc he can)

also: hart is that type of person who saves your contact name once and never in his whole life change it

i hope the formatting doesn't fuck up too much lol

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Talk. like actually ABOUT stuff

 

 

 

Ronnie (TA Wells)

April 24 2018

1:29pm

 

Okay to summarize

i don’t need a fucking 

summary

are you sure?

bc to me it seemed like 

you’re going crazy without a list

fuck off

come on you like order

yeah that explains why

 I’m friends with all of you

you love us shut up

anyway here comes the list

 are you serious

 i literally just left your 

apartment

1. Ask oliver about the 

scholarship

2. Talk to Cisco ffs

3. Ask snart/mick/iris about

 therapy

4. Clear things up with Eddie 

about the apartment

5. We’ll get together with Wells 

and ask if he can pull some 

strings at Mercury and get 

you promoted before you go 

crazy from all the boredom

6. Get laid

7. Ask Detective West if 

Mick can burn down your 

parents’ company without 

getting into trouble

I love the last two

“Talk to Cisco” wtf am I 

gonna say

just be open with him!!!!!

“Hello yes i love you so much 

i’m gonna burst but you 

don’t have the same feelings

 and I feel like one day 

that will kill me”

“also how is the only time 

you say it back while i eat you 

out behind a restaurant”

okay maybe not those 

exact words

except if that’s the only 

way you get the sentiment across

then those exact words yeah

lmao

i literally told him i don’t care

about that 

god he’ll hate me for lying 

dude

it’s fine!!! It’s a human 

reaction about feelings it 

makes sense

feelings don’t make sense

okay there spock

thanks

honestly. For coming to

get me. 

thank mick, he’s the 

one who called me

aw, he cares

he does





OLIVER QUEEN????

April 24 2018

3:41pm

 

so

how do I apply for this 

scholarship 

wait I thought your 

tuition is covered

turns out it isn’t

????

my parents OFFICIALLY 

disowned me and 

withdrew the payment

what? When?

Friday

holy fuck

why didn’t you say 

anything sooner

didn’t wanna ruin the moods

that would’ve definitely been 

worth it

is that why you hid @

the braincells’ 

Not only

it was… an accumulation 

of issues

:(

before you start

I do NOT want you to 

pay my tuition

I want to earn it so tell 

me how I apply for the 

scholarship and don’t pull 

any bias on me

hartley you’re literally the 

reason this scholarship 

EXISTS

ofc you’ll get it

if our friendship affects it

 in any way I’ll poison you 

without a trace

😧

we’ll go over it when 

you’re home 



Snart

April 24 2018

3:42pm

 

tell mick I said thanks

i dont have his number so

for what exactly

he’ll know

I don’t like secrets right 

under my nose pipes so spill

i got drunk the other 

night, he told ronnie to

 get me

lmao did you get 

wasted over a fight 

with pretty bi???

more than that actually

it’s. A lot

and i was wondering, bc

 cisco mentioned it to you 

ages ago but i acted like it

 was an outrageous idea but… 

you are familiar with a 

number of psychiatrists in 

central aren’t you

is this what i think it is

are you agreeing to 

look into therapy

i might need it

I guess? Everyone 

seems to think so

yeah the docs will 

decide that for you

like, if you get a 

diagnosis, shit like that. 

I feel like i should go

 to iris with that tbh

would seem logical

then again she isn’t a 

shrink yet

and you HAVE the 

Personal experience

as do mick, bar 

and your boyfriend

cisco’s only there for 

trans reasons bc legal stuff 

wants him to

true

look i feel awful bc 

y’all have actual reasons 

at least meanwhile i’m just 

a whiny ex rich kid

I thought you were a 

homeless poor deaf gay man

🙄

look you don’t need 

trauma to have mental 

health probs, sometimes 

your brain’s shit without 

reason and that’s how life 

is so let me produce a list 

for you

i was informed that lists 

seem to be good for me

see

thanks

any time, kid



Hot Wannabe Cop

April 24 2018 

3:46pm

 

ok look

my family cut me off 

which means I’m nothing 

but my income from Mercury 

atm and that’s shit. 

I’ll try to get a promotion

 but I can’t guarantee anything

 bc I don’t even have a single 

degree yet and also I’m not 

even completely an adult 

yet so things are crazy 

okay

and policemen don’t earn

 that much either so we’re 

trying to find a 3-room 

apartment with so little money 

according to you and I think

 that’s impossible really so 

that’s why i didn’t even consider 

you’d want an extra room

we need to work with 

each other here eddie 

which means maybe you’ll have 

to agree to one room less

i’ll even forget about my bathtub

you wanted a bathtub????

d e s p e r a t e l y

fuck you’re right

fucking hell i got so used 

to not paying for shit i forgot 

how expensive central is

it’s the industry

you know what’d be cool?

open kitchen

like in the quiver

exactly

🙄 why don’t you 

jsut stay in the quiver

privacy

are YOU talking about privacy

sue me

let’s fake a lawsuit so we

get money for our apartment

sure I’ll break your leg

i don’t have insurance 

any more you ass

ok break my leg

I’ll let joe do that

fucking low blow hart

when are you home?

i’ve got work

so like 6 but then 

i gotta talk to ollie

yeha maybe we can 

actually apartment hunt 

together tonight?

look at us being functional 

human beings

speaking of

yes I do really play two 

instruments

fuckighell

take your time

8:08pm

 

i’m better

thanks for asking

I could tell by you being 

active in the groupchat 

what was wrong?

um

mental breakdown so

 to say

fuck

can I help???

it’s mostly things out of 

your reach so not really

but i’m getting ahold of them

I think?

what are the things?

a whole lot

👀

for one, i’m looking into 

therapy

YOU ARE

FINALLY

i swear things’ll look a lot 

better then

yeah snart’s sending me recs

NICE

and eddie and me are 

dealing with the apartment 

hunt business

SWEET

also my parents withdrew 

my tuition but i’m dealing 

with that too 

wait what

what

when the fuckk

um

friday

hartley rathaway if you tell 

me you kept this information

from me bc it was my 

birthday i’ll

you’ll what?

I don’t know! Do something!

you could tell me you love 

me for being a thoughtful 

boyfriend who didn’t want 

to ruin your birthday

hart,

no i get it. Like i said

and i feel like this 

should be done irl ofc 

but i’m too weak to keep 

my brain working when i 

see your fucking face so

that was kinda……... 

sweet???

let me finish

of course

i know that you just got 

out of a relationship and 

that you spent the majority 

of your life hating me so of 

course you don’t just fall in

 love with me 

and i know we kinda 

turned that into a joke bc 

that’s how we deal with 

everything but it isn’t

because sometimes you 

give me those vibes that maybe 

it’s as serious for you as it is 

for me and in the next moment 

it’s a meme that you DON’T 

love me and yet you’re learning 

a whole new language for me 

and don’t mind hanging out almost 

24/7 and still you onyl told me 

ONCE that you love me and 

when? During sex

now i’m finished

that’s… a lot

and valid

i see you typing 

no it’s my turn shut up

wow

I can’t believe you make me 

do this via text you asshole

i’ve been thinking and 

reflecting about this a lot 

actually and 

yeah you’re exactly right i 

couldn’t just randomly fall 

for you but i did and 

that was scary and i 

DEFINITELY didn’t mean to 

blurt it out during sex

and i didn’t plan to say it 

via text

but

i do love you, hartley. I 

love you more than i 

should be able to considering 

our past

but i do

 

8:36pm

 

ARE YOU IGNORING ME 

NOW

YOU ASSHOLE

STOP CALLING ME 

I’M CRYING

NOW I’M DEFINITELY 

CALLING

lesbianda : oh ym god ollie

irisbest : oliver.

snowflake : i am very happy to see cisco and hartley in a happy relationship! 

snowflake : if you are implying that there has ever been an ounce of jealousy between the two of us in regard of ronnie, though, then you are greatly misinformed. We’ve all been content in our relationships as long as it worked out, nothing toxic at all.

captaincold : i would say you just got roasted but that was snow

detectiveprettybi : aw no puns today?

captaincold : no bc that’s probs not how she meant it at all

pipes : very likely

bilance : oliver we all know you have a problematic history with feelings for multiple people

oliverqueer : i don’t

oliverqueer : yeah

babybibibi : polyamorous relationships are founded on communication and trust

babybibibi : and, of course, agreement of all parties on that arrangement

transco : and this was today’s episode of ‘ronnie explains polyamoury’! Tune in next sunday for more

irisbest : it’s…. Not even sunday

transco : it sure feels like a sunday

transco : now y’all let’s get our asses to the quiver

lesbianda : idk man i feel like we talked less rn than usually

spACEbar : we can talk irl imagine that

captaincold : here i thought y’all would livetweet the movie

transco : nah some people just don’t know what they’d be talking about

transco : they’re missing the context

irisbest : it’s a black kingdom that’s enough context we stan black power

lesbianda : iconic

pipes : oh snart aren’t you joining us

captaincold : i’ve already seen that movie

transco : oh no

transco : you’re someone who only watches things once?

spACEbar : tragic right

irisbest : but… how

captaincold : it’s boring

snowflake : it’s not! You can discover so many new things!

detectiveprettybi : yeah like in fight club with the moments where the other dude appears on screen for a milisecond

transco : do you reread books snart

captaincold : certain ones

bilance : oh so twilight

lesbianda : he definitely read twilight more than twice

heatwave : yup

oliverqueer : rewatching IS boring

irisbest : oh no not you too

transco : it’s not so much about the content but more about the feeling of coming home

transco : how do you live without rewatching the first episode of your favourite show every time you’re sad, how you remember how young and naive the characters were

transco : WAIT. DON’T YOU GUYS HAVE FAVOURITE MOVIES

spACEbar : sometimes it IS about the content

spACEbar : so many new details you missed at first

irisbest : rewatching stuff is like coming home after a long day and sinking into the arms of your loved one

captaincold : you are a sad single west

irisbest : am not

babybibibi : a teensy bit

irisbest : you’ll die

transco : yes okay can we hurry up with that and WATCH THE MOVIE

oliverqueer : pls i liked the king in winter soldier

spACEbar : hmmmmm winter soldier

bilance : winter soldier: bisexuality the movie

transco : T R U E

transco : though you fucking idiots t’challa appeared in civil war

irisbest : nobody fucking liked civil war cisco

spACEbar : truth

lesbianda : i once heard someone say civil war is their fave mcu movie and i died

transco : better civil war than age of ultron

lesbianda : i died so much

spACEbar : i want to watch whatever alternate version of it they saw

transco : mood

oliverqueer : y’all have an hour to get your asses here with adequate snacks

transco : oliver KING

captaincold : youre rich why do they need to bring the snacks

oliverqueer : dont wanna leave the house

babybibibi : valid

irisbest : lazy babe

detectiveprettybi : stop hitting on oliver he is a happily taken man

captaincold : sad single as i said

spACEbar : let her be!

pipes : leave britney alone

transco : :’)

bilance : are you crying bc he used a meme

transco : i love him

heatwave : fuckin idiots

Notes:

- today 4 u tomorrow 4 me refers to a song in the musical RENT, which is a supergreat and supersad one. jesse l martin, aka our own detective joe west, plays a main role and i love his character so much
- polyamory is valid
- i have never seen black panther
- whenever i'm entering a depressive episode, i rewatch the flash pilot and do, indeed, look at cisco ramon and mourn the energetic sunshine with a love for all things supernatural. you small guy don't know what's gonna happen to ya and i love you
- while writing this i was like 'oh yeah t'challa back in winter soldier' and then i realized that was NOT winter soldier but i repressed all memories of civil war except the Bike Scene(TM) and civil war WAS msotly about bucky aka the winter soldier so fuck me if you're gonna call me out
- my sister's best friend thinks age of ultron is the best movie of the mcu and i wanna see whatever version of it he saw. this, too, is a movie i have repressed. can you see why i don't watch mcu movies anymore like holy shit you guys okay don't talk to me about marvel you know how it's gonna end

Chapter 18

Summary:

they watched infinity war

Notes:

okay, so this chapter includes spoilers for infinity war but, like, if *I* can write this chapter even though i haven't watched the movie bc i don't care for it in anyway, then i'm sure y'all marvel stans won't be surprised by them will you

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

pipes: he goes snap and bam he’s gone

pipes: it would have been so FUNNY

transco: NOTHING IS FUNNY

pipes: plus like didn’t he say every living THING? Are half the plants gone, too? That still means there aren’t enough resources for the amount of people. 

pipes: Thanos makes no sense

captaincold: thanos is a weak af asshole 

captaincold: also why didn’t they just get magneto he’d have snatched that gauntlet like a lil bitch

spACEbar: magneto isnt in the mcu

oliverqueer: why didnt they make a sherlock joke with strange and tony

captaincold: when the fuck is pietro in x-men

spACEbar: new movies

captaincold: ah. Dammit

oliverqueer: snart is old school

bilance: pff i don’t watch xmen i just know that magneto was right

detectiveprettybi: he is

captaincold: right on

oliverqueer: it’s so weird when you two agree

pipes: cisco called me to cry into my ears jkgjgkgkg

pipes: contemplating to take out my hearing aids

babybibibi: he did not tell you he loves you to be treated like this

pipes: no using spongebob memes around mick, got it

heatwave: just that

bilance: aw sensible

captaincold: vertigo is the enemy

oliverqueer: i love the word vertigo it sounds so mysterious

babybibibi: ikr it would sound good as the name of an adult imprint of a publisher

spACEbar: i’m so sad i’m gonan go to bed 

lesbianda: aw :(

transco: honestly same tbh

otherwise, this fucking au right here turned 2 years old a few days back and i can't fully comprehend that

Chapter 19

Summary:

there's planning, among other things

Notes:

i... i don't even know what this is. in my defense, i wrote this when i was sleep-deprived after reading through 100 pages on some philosophic politics that required my fixing the grammar...... sighs

Chapter Text

lesbianda : okay who helps me put up these babies

lesbianda : if you’re gonna claim you can’t come bc you gotta mourn hogwarts or whatever the fucking fuck

pipes : linda what is it with you and harry potter

detectiveprettybi : ??? we have all unlocked each other’s sad backstories

captaincold : tf is sad about harry potter

oliverqueer : lOtS oF tHiNgS

irisbest : lmao that’s no sad backstory linda just thinks it’s overrated

lesbianda : in this house we stan percy jackson

transco : speaking of I just remembered I can’t do wednesday, the burning maze comes out on tuesday 

snowflake : I thought I’ll get it first 

babybibibi : idea: you both buy your own copies 

babybibibi : you’re both slow readers how did sharing ever work

snowflake : patience my dear

lesbianda : i never read the sequels lol

transco : WHAT

transco : BUT MY DOPPELGÄNGER

captaincold : is it as much your doppelgänger as that glee dude is bar’s

snowflake : well i mean, leo is mexican. And has fire powers

heatwave : awesome

snowflake : but he tinkers a lot and keeps making popculture references and generally bad jokes

captaincold : huh sounds like the small one alright

transco : heh :1)

snowflake : linda you should read heroes of olymp, it really gets better with the diversity

lesbianda : ye i know nico comes out in it right

oliverqueer : didnt he write other mythologies too

lesbianda : finally somebody who appreciates me

oliverqueer : hey! I appreciate you a lot!

irisbest : so do i!

lesbianda : great then the two of you can help me put them up

spACEbar : somehow i feel like the “if you’re late, you’re straight” on there is aimed at me

lesbianda : it might be

spACEbar : rude

detectiveprettybi : how does your always being late and your anxiety even work together

detectiveprettybi : i always thought punctuality is an anxious trait

spACEbar : everyone is different,,,,,,,

irisbest : and bar gets distracted easily, they’ve been like that since forever

spACEbar : somehow i really feel offended

irisbest : i’m speaking of LOVE here

lesbianda : same, honestly

lesbianda : so now, if somebody could help me. I want posters in every faculty and if i do it myself i might never finish

heatwave : take red they’re fast

spACEbar : i was gonna offer my help anyway

detectiveprettybi : i gotta work soon unfortunately

oliverqueer : let’s go group activity

heatwave : i need to work too

captaincold : soon the detective will be the only one connecting pretty bi with any of us

oliverqueer : i still don’t really see what MY connection to detective west is

babybibibi : ^

transco : we’re all in this together

snowflake : [gif attached]

lesbianda : yes thanks for that song stuck in my head now y’all go to the uni

lesbianda : and bring me a coffee

oliverqueer : linda for how long have you been working on that

lesbianda : what do you think

snowflake : lindaaaaaaa

irisbest : eddie instead of dragging hart out of the quiver you should move in with linda

irisbest : keep her in check

captaincold : you really think pretty bi could keep ANYONE in check

lesbianda : nobody has power over me

oliverqueer : okay we’re gonna keep linda isolated and watched until wednesday

pipes : sleepover

spACEbar : a good idea

captaincold : [image attached]

transco : woah did mick buy coffee for the whole group

captaincold : nope they’re all for linda apparently

lesbianda : mick is THE BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD

irisbest : wow thanks for that

lesbianda : well i don’t see you bringing coffee

irisbest : [image attached]

irisbest : yeah not any more

irisbest : [image attached]

lesbianda : this is so cruel

spACEbar : mick literally bought six cups of coffee for you

snowflake : someone make sure that she won’t drink them all

transco : you make sure of that

snowflake : i’m small and appreciate being alive

heatwave : valid

babybibibi : aw mick likes cait

captaincold : everyone likes snow

transco : aww snart likes cait

captaincold : …

bilance : jesus you’re with someone outside this group for a few hours and miss everything

oliverqueer : pfffff

pipes : you can’t have other friends!!!

bilance : oh chillax i was at the library where are we all meeting

spACEbar : ehjfhfkjff linda we’re literally all on our way there

oliverqueer : she didn’t sleep jus ignore her

captaincold : are we all agreeing we’re gonna bed her in mick’s arms and take care of the posters like that

pipes : yep

bilance : definitely

transco : yes

snowflake : please

irisbest : reasonable

spACEbar : yeah,

lesbianda : NO!

lesbianda : MY POSTERS!

detectiveprettybi : linda, please. Shut up. 

babybibibi : we literally can’t work like functional human beings huh

heatwave : thank fuck not

heatwave : gotta have fun

Notes:

linda thinks harry potter is overrated but she still has every plot detail and date ingrained into her brain, what an icon

rick riordan put out a new book last week (the one after the burning maze (which is the one mentioned here)) (i can't believe they'll still have to suffer through that one. god rip @ cisco & cait i guess) and while i can't read it until christmas, that doesn't stop me from promoting my fav author right here!!!! please read literally any of rick riordan's stuff but specially the kane chronicles because they don't get anough love

you know what else came out last week? the last installment of the backstagers by our very own andy mientus! i read it right away and if you want a wholesome queer musical-related story with magic then I got something for you

Chapter 21

Summary:

we got a few visitors and also there's some bruce content

Notes:

i love the beginning of this chapter because it's also ONE DAY MOOOOOOOREEEEE until the arrowverse is back. and also i go back to uni tomorrow but that's trivial

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

transco : [gif attached]

pipes : [gif attached]

irisbest : great now i don#t even know what song to have stuck in my brain

spACEbar : i mean. Annie is incredibly awesome but les mis is a classic

transco : that was me agreeing

bilance : we kinda figured as much

detectiveprettybi : yeah.

irisbest : you can still tag along eddie

detectiveprettybi : i’m literally stuck in a car wih your father during that meeting

babybibibi : oh are you gonna talk about it

pipes : eddie be like “shall i join my brothers there”

transco : are you implying that eddie is marius

spACEbar : hartley you literally ARE marius

spACEbar : you went from rich kid to living in poverty

captaincold : and you know a shit ton of languages

heatwave : “living in poverty”

heatwave : he’s literally living with billionaires

pipes : SNART DID YOU READ THE BRICK

captaincold : perhaps

pipes : is it okay that i feel very attracted to you again

transco : lol that ever stopped

spACEbar : we’re all used to that

lesbianda : ot4

oliverqueer : just a few rules for tomorrow bc we don’t want to freak out the newbies already

pipes : why rules

babybibibi : yeah you make it sound like we’re weird

bilance : …

lesbianda : …

irisbest : …

heatwave : y’all are freaks

transco : thanks mick

heatwave : yo

oliverqueer : can i talk or do i need to make laurel write a contract

detectiveprettybi : oh pleaSE

transco : i heard about those an i’m genuinely curious

oliverqueer : give me ten minutes

detectiveprettybi : yeah they’re disgusting

pipes : all heart eyes

bilance : they’re ALWAYS like that when they get back together

irisbest : what are they like after a break up

bilance : exaggeratedly polite and stiff

bilance : they don’t even hate each other! They’re just weird!

babybibibi : lmao we were more human

transco : definitely

oliverqueer : By the power invested in me by Oliver Jonas Queen, I, Dinah Laurel Lance, am hereby distributing the rules for the next meet-up of Central City College’s LGBT+ club. Addressees of those are all the members of this chat save for Edward Theodore Thawne.

detectiveprettybi : hey why 

lesbianda : you’re no student any more

irisbest : you’re not there tomorrow????

detectiveprettybi : makes sense

oliverqueer : 1. No making-outs while the regular meeting is still active.

pipes : lame

oliverqueer : 2. No more than two people should be on Michael Lincoln Rory’s lap at a time.

oliverqueer : 3. Any discussions of kinks, death wishes/dreams/deja vu’s and crimes are to be avoided.

oliverqueer : 4. That includes any jokes concerning incest, too.

oliverqueer : 5. No threatening each other’s lives or body parts.

oliverqueer : 6. No alcohol, drugs or other similar substances to be around. Coffee excluded.

oliverqueer : The rules are established to not freak out any potential new members of the group who are in search of support. This is a safe space for minorities and should not seem too tightly knitted already, so best to limit the amount of inside jokes, too. Be friendly and open.

oliverqueer : That was about Oliver’s rules, but can I just say: You guys are a fucking weird troupe.

bilance : lmao don’t act like youre surprised sis

captaincold : pretty bi’s not even there and queen’s scared of his comments lmao

irisbest : why aren’t we allowed on mick’s lap >:(

babybibibi : it’s for medical reasons

heatwave : sure

captaincold : i will not say anything about crimes that might have been committed

detectiveprettybi : thank you

captaincold : ofc you have

spACEbar : you know us too well

babybibibi : what’s the verdict

irisbest : only the most obvious thing

irisbest : bruce is his legal father and finally grew up to that task

oliverqueer : honestly? That’s pretty close

pipes : HOW DO YOU TYPE THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE

oliverqueer : only thing straight about me

detectiveprettybi : WOW HE GRINNED AS HE TYPED /THAT/

lesbianda : oliver has too much power on his hands

spACEbar : woah woah woah slow down

spACEbar : are you saying bruce wayne randomly became a fATHER

irisbest : DILF DILF DILF

oliverqueer : not RANDOMLY

oliverqueer : he’s contemplated about it for a long time

lesbianda : wait how long have YOU known

oliverqueer : i haven’t known he’s gonan go through with it

captaincold : oliver jonas queen

transco : snart is planning a murder

babybibibi : for the gossip!!!!

oliverqueer : he might have… asked me for my opinion

irisbest : w h e n

oliverqueer : after the gala?

pipes : for the record: eddie just let out the loudest shout

pipes : “FIRST HE FUCKS ME AND THEN HE GOES AND ADOPTS A KID”

snowflake : where’s dig

bilance : not present

bilance : tommy and laurel are just eye emojis at this point

pipes : “HE DIDN’T /ADOPT/ HIM”

spACEbar : foster kid high five!!!

transco : wow. Bruce wayne. A dad.

captaincold : how old is he again

lesbianda : 28?? I think?

babybibibi : And then he takes in a kid?????

snowflake : that’s so young

irisbest : my dad had me when he was 25 so

pipes : oh for real

transco : no wonder joe looks so good. He’s young!

bilance : okay so 28 is young and 47 is also young. Got it.

detectiveprettybi : i cannot believe! Bruce wayne!

lesbianda : BRUCE THOMAS WAYNE

lesbianda : THE MAN

oliverqueer : ok so now you know

oliverqueer : he said it’s okay to tell you but guys, quiet to everyone else ok

transco : aw so we’re not supposed to tell random strangers we’ll only meet tomorrow that we know the secret behind bruce wayne’s latest insta post

oliverqueer : obviously?

transco : yeah that was more an ironic summary

heatwave : watch if anyone shows up

lesbianda : excuse you my posters are EVERYWHERE

lesbianda : i expect at least one little queer,,,,

captaincold : plot twist there aren’t anymore at this uni

snowflake : statistically that statement’s unlikely

spACEbar : we do know so many lgbt+ ppl the ratio of central is soon met

transco : 11 out of us, wally, jax, hr, ray, nate, amaya(?), singh, singh’s husband, hr’s husband, axel (ugh),

irisbest : that’s not THAT many tbh

babybibibi : make the world queer!

detectiveprettybi : y’all gotta count all the people hartley and mick have fucked

transco : [a great big world voice] eeeeeeveeeeeryooooone is gaaaaaaaaaaay

lesbianda : that’s the spirit!

Notes:

-this is the gif Cisco used and this is Hartley's
- i wrote the "hartley has parallels to marius" joke before i remembered that andy mientus did, in fact, play marius pontmercy on broadway
- on an unrelated note, i do have a meerkat plush that i called marius pontmeerkat. i thought you guys would appreciate that. (also, i have a meerkat pencilcase that's called sebbo in reference to sebastian smythe. i don't do things without fandoms, as you can tell)
- did any of you read red, white, royal blue and also get some oliver/laurel/tommy vibes from alex/nora/june? (like. Slightly. We ain’t shipping actual incest here bc we aren’t that fucked up)
- yep, bruce did that.
- you're getting his instagram post in an interlude on thursday!!!! watch out for that!
- this entire fucking series is named after a great big world's song "everyone is gay". and finally i use it in a chapter

Chapter 22

Summary:

the first meet-up of the semester happened

Chapter Text

bilance : is there anyone here not out to joe lmao

transco : eh kinda 

transco : but i’d be cool with him knowing im trans so

irisbest : my dad’s a little confused but he got the spirit

oliverqueer : so we’re just ignoring that him and eddie are suddenly pals

pipes : not the weirdest thing that has happened

oliverqueer : to us? Uh yeah it is

snowflake : oh have you guys heard there are zombies in seattle

heatwave : theres what now where

detectiveprettybi : can we go back to the question

snowflake : yeah!

snowflake : well not literal zombies but they do share some characteristics, it’s a whole epidemic

spACEbar : wait wh a t th e f u ck

snowflake : it’s probably just temporarily since it’s a side effect from a new vaccine against a local illness so don’t you worry

irisbest : damn the anti-vaxxers are gonna come for that huh

babybibibi : cait’s prepared for them

transco : <3333

spACEbar : that’s. So wild. I’m still not over that

spACEbar : imma google that as a goodnight story later hECK

detectiveprettybi : joe is growing more impatient by the minute please you guys

pipes : who even said we’re allowed to talk to you about them. It’s a safe space and we don’t out people

pipes : jk we asked if they’d be okay with that

bilance : snart can I just say you looked like a goddamn snack in that vest

detectiveprettybi : you did???? aw

irisbest : oh hell yeah

pipes : honestly

transco : yeah any more time and hart would’ve jumped you

pipes : can you blame me

lesbianda : bar’s new doppelgänger certainly agreed

detectiveprettybi : wait what vest 

spACEbar : ????? My new ????? doppelgänger????

babybibibi : bar this dude is a downright copy of you

babybibibi : like not physically but

irisbest : they wore basically the same shirt 

transco : he said he’s „ace and questioning“ 

detectiveprettybi : that. Isn’t that pretty much the same way Bar introduced themself back then

pipes : exactly the same

detectiveprettybi : did Snart do the „ever sucked a dick“ convo

captaincold : ah damn

captaincold : next time

pipes : no but seriously give it a few weeks and this dude will ask us to use they pronouns and call him “jul” or smth

detectiveprettybi : who the fuck is that guy

transco : he’s Julian, 23, studies (hold on to your seat belt) forensic science

detectiveprettybi : NO

transco : YES

irisbest : YES

babybibibi : YES

pipes : YES

spACEbar : omg can y’all stop

spACEbar : I’ve had a class with Julian last semester and he HATES me

transco : ah I bet he’s secretly got a crush on you, that’s how it works

pipes : ok I feel attacked here

captaincold : regardless, I’m watching him 

spACEbar : len 

snowflake : it IS weird that someone doesn’t like you

oliverqueer : pudding 

detectiveprettybi : any other saucy people

transco : [image attached]

babybibibi : wow a justin bieber tweet when your thirsting over bar’s bf

transco : right. You guys ARE still dating

detectiveprettybi : and hell I don’t say that easily but Snart your a r m s 

bilance : someone check if hell froze over they’re civic to each other 

heatwave : hell ain’t frozen Snart’s still here

lesbianda : poetic

spACEbar : yep

snowflake : :’’’’’))))))))

pipes : ^ probably snart’s face rn

irisbest : ok but im laughing so much bc this whole line up of new people? Against bar

detectiveprettybi : OH WHAT

irisbest : julian, bar’s mental doppelgänger who hates him

irisbest : ralph, who bar had some beef with in high school

irisbest : this ray guy (not palmer) who legit hit on snart

detectiveprettybi : four new members??????

bilance : 5, i convinced z to come too

detectiveprettybi : who the heck is z

bilance : hacker friend

irisbest : and get this!

lesbianda : she’s the same hacker friend as wally’s

irisbest : wally knows her too

irisbest : GODDAMMIT LINDA

lesbianda : :*

detectiveprettybi : ???????? for real?????

detectiveprettybi : central city i swear to god

transco : yeah it’s wild

pipes : thank god we decided against adding them to the chat

oliverqueer : we already lose sight of the 11 people in here

babybibibi : i heard there are chats out there with more than 100 members

lesbianda : HOW

detectiveprettybi : so when’s the next party at the quiver

transco : eddie wants to see whom he can fuck

detectiveprettybi : shrug emoji

pipes : predictable

detectiveprettybi : as if you wouldnt think the same if you were single

captaincold : i see you guys living together will be wonderful

bilance : don’t encourage them

detectiveprettybi : and are the people nice?

irisbest : linda adopted a kid

babybibibi : iconic behaviour. The legend jumped out

detectiveprettybi : wait what

lesbianda : the poor girl needs some guidance!!! 

oliverqueer : and i thought we’re still hung up on bruce’s guardianship

snowflake : oh we are

spACEbar : i think ralph’s older than you linda

lesbianda : idc i still adopt her

lesbianda : him? How do you refer to someone who’s current gender you don’t know but who explicitly doesn’t use they pronouns

transco : better ask next time

lesbianda : yeah duh

irisbest : oh yeah because by the way @ eddie @ mick we are now meeting biweekly

heatwave : twice a week?

captaincold : no every 2 weeks

heatwave : good

detectiveprettybi : oh good it’s bi

babybibibi : BD

detectiveprettybi : how come tho

bilance : ava

captaincold : wow you could hear the grumble in that

bilance : we were perfectly fine without her stupid organization and annoyance

heatwave : uh oh someone pissd off the actual captain

oliverqueer : idk if i should feel offended or if snart should

captaincold : nah you

detectiveprettybi : sounds like it was a wild meeting

spACEbar : it was actually pretty tame

pipes : for our standards

transco : yeah you didn’t miss much

pipes : except snart’s vest, really

detectiveprettybi : well thank fuck i got a pic of that then

captaincold : cherish it, it’s the only one you’ll get

snowflake : hey oliver?

oliverqueer : yeah

snowflake : did you say we’re 11 people in here

snowflake : we’re 12

oliverqueer : …………..

oliverqueer : case in point

transco : OH MY GOD WHOM DID YOU FORGET

oliverqueer : nope not doing this

Notes:

- zombies in seattle???? sounds like it's from a comic book/tv show, tbh.
- in case you don't know, in the new52 flash run, snart's costume is a vest and boy have i ever been more gay? i think not. anyway, picture this version here looking like wentworth miller and wearing a thin white sweater underneath.
- oliver's miscounting of the members of the chat is based on my own. whenever I try to count them I forget someone (and that someone changes every time. no favourism here)
- so yeah. no new chat members but new club members!!!! (there'll also be a few more to come, but I won't say who they are heh) the ones so far are as follows:
Ava Sharpe, 26, lesbian, she/her. I'm not quite sure what to let her study? I was thinking either history or somethig with politics, tbh. Suggestions?
Ray Terril, 25, gay, he/him. Light Design!
Zari Tomaz, 22, ace lesbian, she/her. Islamic Studies.
Julian Albert, 23, questioning nb, he/him or they/them. Forensic Studies. (yes, there's gonna be a Harry Potter reference)
Ralph Dibny, 23, genderfluid, he/him and she/her. Criminology.

Chapter 23

Summary:

sighs..... time travel.

oliverqueer : so much shit happened lately i feel like we’re already at the end of 2019

irisbest : noooooooooo then you’d be dying soon

bilance : right. That conspiracy theory

pipes : personally i’m rooting for ollie

oliverqueer : have we ever established HOW i’m gonna die

lesbianda : no

lesbianda : but you also didn’t get started on getting a kid yet did you

oliverqueer : no………

irisbest : getcha head in the game oliver

transco : yeah go fuck your gf

oliverqueer : you ARE aware a kid does not fit into either of our lives rn

snowflake : “rn”

snowflake : olicity baby to come

detectiveprettybi : bruce is only a year older than you and now look he got a 10yo kid

babybibibi : what are we doing for oliver’s birthday

bilance : we’re having a party duh

bilance : at VERDANT

oliverqueer : but not on the actual day bc it’s a wednesday

pipes : hang on. Do we have a club meeting on your brithday

pipes : how did we not account for that

oliverqueer : are you kidding it’s the besT THING

oliverqueer : i’ll see y’all and then it’s dinner date with felicity so a perf day

transco : somehow you seem weird

lesbianda : he’s still in shock over the baby comment

bilance : also he can talk about felicity so he goes soft

irisbest : awwww

irisbest : my dad ships you

transco : soon joe will become a member of this chat

irisbest : nah we’re just on a little shopping trip

lesbianda : oh can you buy me this cute little dress from that one store at the mall

irisbest : …. Grocery shopping

pipes : bc we all know joe would buy it for you

lesbianda : he would <3

irisbest : he loves you more than us honestly

babybibibi : ranking: 1. Linda 2. Wally 3. Bar & you?

bilance : i almsot said he’s still angry about the whole lying about eddie thing but all of y’all are involved

snowflake : linda isn’t even his kid!!

lesbianda : he wishes i was

oliverqueer : wow

irisbest : that’s what i gotta put up with

lesbianda : <3

lesbianda : ilu

irisbest : pfff

babybibibi : don’t fiiiiight

lesbianda : oh btw i got ralph’s number and she says you can use either he or she she doesn’t mind

lesbianda : as long as she isn’t present, that is, when she is you’ll either see or she’ll tell ya

transco : sweet

oliverqueer : look at you making connections

babybibibi : linda is the king of connections

bilance : pardon me i brought my own new member

pipes : did you know her first or did wally

irisbest : pretty sure it’s been wally, they went to high school together

transco : ooooooohhhhhh

snowflake : that makes so much sense

bilance : yeah

bilance : but that was the past

bilance : we livin in the future now baby

babybibibi : bar isn’t here we can talk about time travel!!!! LET’S GO

pipes : you know, they weren’t so wrong about it being the solution to infinity war

pipes : it would only make sense, given the established timeline and the fact that marvel cannot possibly kill most of its characters

oliverqueer : yeah

heatwave : shut up with that bullshit already oh man

heatwave : where’d y’all wanna travel if time travel

transco : mick asking the real questions

transco : definitely the future. 23rd century. I wanan see star trek

bilance : i’d prove just how queer the past was

bilance : fuck those historians

heatwave : been there done that

snowflake : proved how queer historical figures were?

heatwave : no fucked a historian

oliverqueer : ah nate

heatwave : ofc

lesbianda : i’d go to 2020 and check if oliver’s still alive

oliverqueer : awwwww

irisbest : i’d go to 2020 and check if linda became president

heatwave : no need to check that

lesbianda : <3333

pipes : i’d want to go back to ancient rome or greece and see if demigods were real

captaincold : did they make you read pjo

pipes : bold of you to assume that i didn’t read them before

pipes : no but for real, our culture is coined by those two so immensely, it would be wonderful to see it for real

irisbest : don’t forget the many wars

transco : the homosexualité though

pipes : imagine living at the same time as achilles and patroclus

lesbianda : that book hurt me don’t

babybibibi : what, the illiad?

lesbianda : FUCKING SONG OF ACHILLES

babybibibi : that makes more sense

pipes : the iliad, too, though

transco : i am amazed you didn’t lear ancient greek just to read it

captaincold : don’t give him ideas

oliverqueer : i don’t even know where i’d go? I don’t think i’d want to change the past, really, bc it made me who I am but i don’t wanna see the future really either

transco : oliver wow that was the lamest answer possible

heatwave : i’d go to the after apocalypse

snowflake : post-apocalypse?

heatwave : that

heatwave : fire i imagine

pipes : you’d have a field day in pompeii though

heatwave : fuck yeah

heatwave : just anywhere firey

babybibibi : so snart’s going to the ice age, got it

captaincold : basically

babybibibi : i’d want to high five the inventor of pizza personally

pipes : pizza as we know it or its predecessors

babybibibi : as we know it my man

transco : no road trip to the antiques for you then

detectiveprettybi : screw the future 

detectiveprettybi : i wanna see the past

transco : what did the future ever do to you

detectiveprettybi : nothing yet thank fuck

detectiveprettbi : my uncle eobard is way too obsessed with it

captaincold : the fuck kinda name is “eobard”

pipes : sounds evil

heatwave : looks like someone typoed lenny’s name

captaincold : does not

irisbest : ehhhh a little

captaincold : betrayal

detectiveprettybi : tbh it wouldn’t surprise me if he had an evil ploy all along

detectiveprettybi : either that or he’s jsut insane

captaincold : he’s related to you so i guess the latter is a given

babybibibi : damn snart what put you in such a good mood today

transco : ikr he’s so chatty

lesbianda : worth an investigation

detectiveprettybi : why is snart’s good mood more interesting than my villanous uncle

pipes : we’re used to bad guys

pipes : my parents literally ARE bad guys

oliverqueer : tommy’s dad is pretty villainous so in a metaphorical way i too have a villainous uncle

captaincold : your mother had a child with him, your relation to him is so much weirder

bilance : look at snart dodging the investigation

captaincold : i don’t go around inquiring why y’all are in a good mood either 

transco : yeah but a) it’s not as rare and b) you don’t care

transco : that rhymed. I am hereby announcing my career as a poet

snowflake : wonderful!

babybibibi : cisco’s got a point though

bilance : did your old man bite the bullet snart

captaincold : not as far as i am aware

heatwave : snart’s known for his weird mood swings now let him have one onto the good side for once

irisbest : mick knows the reason

lesbianda : ofc mick knows the reason

bilance : how could mick not know the reason

lesbianda : i’m on it

heatwave : turning my phone off now

captaincold : great idea actually

pipes : and there they go

transco : it was nice while it lasted

oliverqueer : on the bright side his mood might stay like this if you don’t keep pestering him

babybibibi : but if he’s gone we have no way of witnessing it!

irisbest : that’s really unfortunate

transco : nothing we can do about it now

snowflake : we can only hope he enjoys it

bilance : oh cait, never change

snowflake : maybe you won’t die after all

pipes : we can only hope

babybibibi : #prayforoliverqueen2k19

oliverqueer : who’s gonna die with me

lesbianda : a kiss is a kiss

captaincold : DO you want to be one of the people on queen’s long list west

irisbest : maybe

oliverqueer : i’m not kissing anyone except felicity

oliverqueer : it wasn’t even ME who pursed his lips just now

oliverqueer : and my lips certainly weren’t involved

transco : relax

babybibibi : maybe felicity’s about to hack his phone and read this

bilance : sadly she doesn’t do that

lesbianda : we stan couples that respect their partner’s privacy

spACEbar : so you mean like any healthy relationship

lesbianda : YES

snowflake : we deliberatedly share our phones

captaincold : we noticed

oliverqueer : i have no problem with giving felicity mine either but i won’t let anyone spread any fucking rumours about me

irisbest : there’s a difference between handing your partner your phone and them taking it themselves

bilance : definitely

babybibibi : y’all we missed our window to grill eddie and hartley about their apartment. What’s it like

transco : no bathtub

transco : hart was devastated

bilance : there’s three rooms at least

irisbest : did hartley bitch about eddie’s standards being met

bilance : of course

transco : yep

transco : i love him so much

spACEbar : awwww

oliverqueer : i hope they don’t get the apartment. They really should both suffer

heatwave : you are really pissed at them for moving out

oliverqueer : WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE SHELTER I GIVE!!!

bilance : nothing it’s perfectly perfect thank you for providing it so nicely

babybibibi : [image attached]

transco : don’t let this be about the burning maze i don’t wanna be sad

babybibibi : nope, shadowhunters

transco : ah

babybibibi : apparently someone died and two pretty boys are sad

bilance : i can see how that would affect cait

pipes : also oliver STARTED shadowhunters so don’t spoiler him

babybibibi : oh damn im quiet

babybibibi : but the thing is my fiancé’s been staring at the ceiling for two hours now

babybibibi : and that’s after she stopped crying

bilance : cait is so tiny 

transco : lmao hart just shouted at oliver not to check the chat for a while 

pipes : someone has to make sure he doesn’ get spoiled

pipes : he hates that

babybibibi : wait are y’all celebrating

bilance : no cisco’s staying over and tommy insisted we all have a toast on oliver

babybibibi : cute

transco : wait for oliver to tell us all what a good bestie tommy is

pipes : we stan their friendship

bilance : he’ll show off during the club meeting won’t he

pipes : oh yikes tommy’s confiscating phones

transco : bye ronnie

babybibibi : bye???

babybibibi : tommy really hates this chat doesn’t he

 

spACEbar : happy birthday ollie!

irisbest : [image attached]

heatwave : naaasty

lesbianda : no visiting my fav detective today, got it

detectiveprettybi : WAIT I’m stuck to my desk?????

spACEbar : THAT’s what you got from that

spACEbar : rude

oliverqueer : thank you <3333

oliverqueer : and tommy doesn’t hate this chat he just thinks i spend too much time on here

captaincold : that’s incredibly valid, actually.

captaincold : happy birthday, queen

oliverqueer : thanks

detectiveprettybi : of course i’m coming to the club meeting today

detectiveprettybi : i would have managed after parole, too, so i don’t get whyyyyyyyyy

heatwave : west’s just horny

irisbest : nooooooooooo

spACEbar : DON’T

bilance : your dad fucks, deal with it

bilance : like at least your dad did not hit on your ex’s new gf’s mother did he

captaincold : your dad hit on felicity’s mother.

oliverqueer : they even went on a few dates

bilance : and look, we’re all cool with that

detectiveprettybi : am i allowed to speak up

captaincold : honestly, please, be my guest

detectiveprettybi : at least everything stays in the family eh

captaincold : was that really the best you could do

detectiveprettybi : i’m trying to navigate through the city without being run over!

spACEbar : you really ARE weirdly civil

pipes : ikr??

irisbest : didn’t they behave like this since you properly rejected eddie

bilance : nah i think it was later

oliverqueer : idk but it IS a lil confusing

oliverqueer : please don’t change that during the meeting tho no fist fights on my birthday

heatwave : spoilsport

detectiveprettybi : bold to assume that i’m gonna show up

irisbest : my dad’s gonna kill you if you don’t

detectiveprettybi : i guess i’m gonna show up…..

transco : coward

oliverqueer : <3

spACEbar : oh btw i’ll be a lil late again

lesbianda : ofc you will

spACEbar : training’s till quarter past 6 it’s not my fault

pipes : oh right i forgot you left us to become a jock

spACEbar : …

transco : what did joe say about your new hobby

irisbest : he’s disgustingly pleased

pipes : what did he say about coldbar being back together

irisbest : he’s disgustingly pleased

bilance : iris still won’t accept that snart charmed the detective

detectiveprettybi : i think he pined harder after him than bar did

irisbest : definitely

captaincold : i honest to g-d don’t know what to say to that

captaincold : congrats i guess

transco : woah since when do you censor His name

heatwave : dating red has made him slip back into his judaism more and more

pipes : and bar isn’t even jewish themself. Impressive

oliverqueer : snart are you part of the kosher nostra

babybibibi : KOSHER NOSTRA

spACEbar : … kosher nostra?

oliverqueer : the term for the jewish mafia, it’s legit

heatwave : lol did ya gf make you study jewish history queen

captaincold : i fucking hate that term bc it only fuels all the prejudices about conspiracies that jews have going on regarding world domination

captaincold : so no i’m no fucking member of that group of jewish criminals

oliverqueer : ah fuck i didn’t even think about it like that

captaincold : do use that small brain of yours every once in a while will you

oliverqueer : sorry

spACEbar : yikes

captaincold : i’ll let you live bc its ur birthday but you’re on thin ice

transco : heh ice

pipes : do we tell the others that it’s Oliver’s birthday

spACEbar : wtf ofc we are

lesbianda : hartley do you really think cait would be able to stay quiet

irisbest : how is she even doing with her shadowhunters trauma

transco : she’s sad

transco : she has been spamming me for half the night

oliverqueer : do you even watch sh

oliverqueer : also NO SPOILERS

pipes : told them

transco : no i don’t that’s why she yells at me

transco : it’s taken me like 5 years to get that this one ship isn’t canon

oliverqueer : which one

transco : no spoilers

bilance : good

oliverqueer : sara i’m not throwing you out you can stop sweettalking me

bilance : bish maybe i wanted to be nice bc you’re old now

detectiveprettybi : so close to being wholesome

captaincold : i gotta say i really am curious about what your relationship has been like

bilance : we can’t all be as pure as you and bar

babybibibi : we’re purer

pipes : coldbar don’t have sex tho

spACEbar : the association of virginity/a sex-less life and purity is extremely harmful

lesbianda : damn the otp is out there calling out ppl today

transco : speaking of oliver are we allowed to interact with our significant others today

oliverqueer : again: it’s never been forbidden

heatwave : great now they’all be gross

irisbest : let them be we’ve all waited long enough for all of them

transco : iris is soft for coldbar

detectiveprettybi : damn snart you won over iris?

captaincold : ain’t the only one

detectiveprettybi : ????

irisbest : i just want everyone to feel comfortable

oliverqueer : same

oliverqueer : that’s why

oliverqueer : [image attached]

transco : oh my god i love you

transco : not as much as hart tho

spACEbar : :D

lesbianda : excuse me is that a whole tray of red vines

pipes : what the hell can’t they do

pipes : it’s fucking 2018 and i’m still pavlov’s dog to team starkid

oliverqueer : we went a lil overboard

irisbest : who BOUGHT this

irisbest : that’s like 6 bowls of chips

babybibibi : was it tommy

bilance : tommy and oliver, yeah

bilance : no idea about normal life i tell ya

oliverqueer : we went a little overboard maybe

oliverqueer : but it’s not like it won’t disappear as soon as we bring it back to the quiver

detectiveprettybi : is tommy joining the meeting

captaincold : shouldn’t you be doing paper work

detectiveprettybi : shouldn’t you be painting

captaincold : no only tomorrow

pipes : no tommy’s staying away from club meetings

babybibibi : rude

spACEbar : it’s almost like he doesn’t love us

transco : bar he barely knows you

spACEbar : that’s

spACEbar : a good point

captaincold : his loss

spACEbar : :’) <3

lesbianda : are you fucking softer than before

babybibibi : it’s gonna pull cait out of her funk at least

captaincold : didn’t y’all want us to get back together

captaincold : deal with it

transco : oh we are

pipes : you were the big topic of the nightly quiver discussion

spACEbar : really

bilance : mostly lisa is gonna kill her dear brother

captaincold : … oh shit

spACEbar : you didn’t

captaincold : nope i didn’t

babybibibi : you didn’t tell lisa you were back together????

irisbest : why do i feel like you forget about lisa’s existence until it’s time to be A Protective Older Brother™ 

captaincold : i didn’t even tell any of y’all

captaincold : wouldn’t even know if it weren’t for bar

bilance : which was very rude, by the way

lesbianda : yeah leaving us hanging like that

captaincold : y’all are so goddamn dramatic

heatwave : you’re one to talk

transco : shots fired

oliverqueer : don’t start drama right before my party

bilance : your party is on saturday you ass

bilance : don’t blow this tommy hired Someone

pipes : is oliver getting a stripper

irisbest : oliver is a happily taken man why would he get a stripper

lesbianda : bc tommy is sadistic

transco : tommy’s evil plan: hiring a male stripper and watching oliver pop a boner

detectiveprettybi : he is v obsessed with oliver being queer

heatwave : are you sure he is straight

bilance : that sounds like something he would do

oliverqueer : he’s just pissed i never had a crush on him

spACEbar : you really never had??? But he’s hot

oliverqueer : he may be but i also know his personality better than anyone so hard pass

bilance : ^ me @ u

oliverqueer : you don’t know my personality better than anyone

bilance : potato potato

captaincold : can we have the mini party now

detectiveprettybi : someone’s eager

heatwave : is there gonna be alcohol

pipes : sara’s really been happy that ava left as soon as she saw there’s gonna be a party huh

babybibibi : a lil

heatwave . She’s annoying

spACEbar : who now z or ava

heatwave : both

irisbest : oh just bc zari called you out in class

babybibibi : OH WHAT

transco : story time!!!

irisbest : some people just aren’t used to the way mick phrases things

lesbianda : so he sounded sexist

irisbest : ofc

bilance : when was that

heatwave : few weeks

babybibibi : what

detectiveprettybi : wait

pipes : i’ll bite

pipes : WHERE did that happen

heatwave : class

irisbest : writing class ofc

captaincold : he does keep it under the wraps

heatwave : i’m a writer. I write. Big deal.

pipes : you what!!

transco : OH WORM

snowflake : That IS a big deal

lesbianda : he doesn’t let anyone look at it really tho

irisbest : yeah zari just caught a glimpse on random

captaincold : and didn’t have anything better to do than voice her unwanted opinion?

captaincold : fuck her

babybibibi : someone angered the bestie

captaincold : all ppl who create art should have the right to keep it to themselves, fuck ppl who won’t respect that

captaincold : that aside mick’s writing is good

irisbest : zari didn’t even criticize it beyond the sexism part

irisbest : but yeah she probably shouldn’t have just read it like that

pipes : that’s like when hearing ppl wanna test their asl so they eavesdrop on Deaf ppl’s convos

heatwave : that’s not at all comparable but thx i guess

heatwave : cat’s outta the bag, whatever

detectiveprettybi : i, for one, am intrigued

heatwave : change the topic

transco : I’m gonna go to church hungover this week can you believe 

irisbest : are you really going to church every week

transco : ITS PENTECOST

transco : it’s already bad enough it’s not an official holiday

captaincold : oh excuse me aren’t your religious holidays not valued enough

- i have a week off @ pentecost every year and my town has huge celebrations so you cannot IMAGINE my surprise to hear it's not even a full holiday in the US (do you guys even have them. are your shops EVER closed)
- i was lying face down on a row of seats in the cinema when i watched deadpool 2 and noticed that, since a time traveller is there, it's gonna be a big part of the plot, so I'm gonna save my babe bar from that

detectiveprettybi : yeah I know I read up on it

oliverqueer : I cannot believe you are not informed linda

oliverqueer : you’re fired

bilance : woah being back in thea’s proximity charged your sarcasm huh

lesbianda : thank god for a second I thought—

oliverqueer : between thea and Malcolm it’s a survival instinct kicking in

bilance : ugh why are you seeing Malcolm

oliverqueer : he keeps showing up!!

transco : lock him out

oliverqueer : that Does Not Stop Him

bilance : it really doesn’t

bilance : Malcolm is a known trespasser

detectiveprettybi : literally what the fuck

pipes : I can’t tell if tommy’s father is an icon or not

oliverqueer : definitely not

bilance : are y’all hiding from him

oliverqueer : ofc

bilance : good on you

lesbianda : I’m torn between THAT gossip and the bar gossip

detectiveprettybi : nothing happening with bar, they’re still all in the office

babybibibi : maybe they’re giving them a stern talking to bc they’re back with snart

transco : they’d be given them a medal if anything

pipes : ribbon reading “thank you for sacrificing yourself”

oliverqueer : woah since when a we bullying snart

transco : well you’re not here for that are you

bilance : so yall are suicidal, got it

pipes : shrug emoji

snowflake : h a r t l e y

pipes : how the f cuk

babybibibi : wasn’t me, we aren’t even in the same part of town

lesbianda : superhero Caitlin snow

heatwave : always bullying snart

transco : ofc u are

oliverqueer : mick isn’t that your purpose in life 

lesbianda : what about your purposes ollie

oliverqueer : … are you asking me when i’ll come back

lesbianda : yes

oliverqueer : sighs

oliverqueer : we’re on our way to the jet

pipes : doesn’t flying increase the co2-emission

pipes : you’re bad at saving the world, oliver jonas queen

transco : gasp, caitlin cover your eyes

oliverqueer : well i would take the train but i have a meeting with ivo in 4 hours

oliverqueer : plus excuse you we have this weird super fuel that leaves no trace in the atmosphere

babybibibi : eye emoji

transco : tell us more

oliverqueer : … i don’t know what it is exactly

bilance : jfc oliver you can’t mention something like this to nerds and then not continue

pipes : yEAH

oliverqueer : i could always refer you to my mom

pipes : i know your mother and i pass

bilance : hfkgjgkg that’s the biggest mood

transco : i want to meet moira i am curious

pipes : no babe you really ain’t

lesbianda : why moira though, technically walter is in charge of the company isn’t he

babybibibi : yeah i thought your mom stepped back from that when she became mayor

oliverqueer : i’m not sure what to focus on i am overwhelmed by linda referring to my parents by their first names

lesbianda : do you think your dad wouldve let me call him bobby

bilance : knowing you i think you’d probably have made him do that

heatwave : kinky

transco : mick you’re so chatty today do you know anything about the bar situation

babybibibi : where did eddie even disappear to

captaincold : maybe he’s stepping up and actually working

transco : SNART

captaincold : no

transco : was that a ‘no i don’t know anything either’ or a ‘no, i ain’t telling you shit’

pipes : do you really need an answer to that question

bilance : snart, when faced with the apocalypse and in possession of the only rescue: i’m not gonna tell you anything

captaincold : idk why you’re pointing it out like that when it’s painfully obvious that this is what would, in fact, happen

oliverqueer : lmao

babybibibi : ppl snart would rescue: bar, lisa, mick

pipes : pff he wouldn’t rescue mick

captaincold : yeah mick can go rescue himself

lesbianda : we’re not doubting him

captaincold : no, that was more in the tone of ‘he can go fuck himself’

transco : ah. Of course

bilance : naturally

lesbianda : anyway so oliver are you finally listening to me?

oliverqueer : it was more like a lot of people telling me the same thing over and over

bilance : takes a while to get through that thick skull of yours huh

oliverqueer : you’d know

snowflake : oliver are you, perhaps, scared of graduating

oliverqueer : NO???

oliverqueer : hell i’m looking forward to not having CLASSES anymore

oliverqueer : and, like, why would i even feel anxious about that, i have the best security net possible so even IF i fail in life it’s not like i’ll be on the edge of death

transco : oh god

lesbianda : oliver

captaincold : queen, you are scared as fuck

oliverqueer : i just gave you plenty of proof of how i’m not

babybibibi : yeah but in a way that shows that you are WAY too aware of what could go wrong

oliverqueer : no??? The only thing that could go wrong is that ivo does one of his asshole moves and goes specifically ONLY for the theories he knows i know jackshit about

oliverqueer : and, you know, higher math

oliverqueer : but felicity is helping with that, so!

oliverqueer : and it’s not like i don’t know what to do after graduation either, i have plenty of plans and options and also MONEY

irisbest : oliver babe you’re spiralling

oliverqueer : i’m NOT

bilance : i’m texting felicity

oliverqueer : there’s no need!!! I’m not spiralling!

oliverqueer : i’m gonna talk about my thesis with ivo later and then i’ll work towards my gradu

captaincold : smoak pulled the plug huh

bilance : [image attached]

captaincold : i have to wonder if lesbians have a special connection to middle-aged men or if it’s just you

heatwave : just her

captaincold : probably

lesbianda : wow was that a compliment

captaincold : don’t test me

irisbest : i for one am very for the whole “talking them out of dating snart” idea

captaincold : what did i ever do to you

detectiveprettybi : especially those who think they’re important when they clearly aren’t

pipes : lmao what happened

detectiveprettybi : it was very Important that someone lost their scarf on the other side of the street during the robbery of a jewelry store

heatwave : every detail matters

detectiveprettybi : y’all really think I didn’t consider that

captaincold : honestly could be the case with u

transco : what’s happening on the bar fronnnnnnnt

Notes:

- the video hartley posts is literally just nyssa glaring at oliver at the breakfast table
- ollie-wan kenobi might be the funniest thing i ever wrote
- the pic eddie posts is the timmy turner trophy meme only that it says "THIS IS WHERE I'D PUT MY LOVE FOR MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER...... IF I HAD ONE"
- the glist is a list on glee where people are ranked by their hotness, season one episode "bad reputation" which also features not only one but two superb performances by the people in my icon, god bless

so how exactly am I gonna get 

Singh to sign this without him 

coming for my head

I don’t know, you could try to give it 

to DA Horton. She always gets what 

she wants.

ahhh yes. the famous Ce-Seal 

Your Fate Horton

i don’t want the detective to 

hear any about this tho

Why exactly? I mean, it does concern 

his kid. And wasn’t it his case in the 

first place?

until he took in bar yes. 

then it got ‘too personal’

So, reopening his investigation…? 

He will hear about that anyways.

I am aware

I just dont want him to think 

thats how I try to manipulate 

bar into forgiving me

And here I thought that’s what 

you’re doing.

fuck you

when did I first approach you 

abt this? Christmas?

Yeah, you’re right. Sorry.

cant you give it to horton? 

aren’t you her intern

… I’m doing an apprenticeship. 

At the DA of KEYSTONE.

y are you living in central then

Free housing :p

exploiting queen is a honorable 

thing, Ill give you that

I’ll see if I can contact Horton, but 

it’ll cost you.

sure, what do you want?

I don’t know yet. But I’ll think of 

something.

aight

and thx I guess

You’re welcome.

so

joe randomly gave me your 

file today bc “you are my 

partner so i gotta make 

sure we’re on the same page”

i had no idea there was 

private messaging on this

g*dforsaken app

-.-

anyway if you’ve read it 

you’ll know i really aint 

opposed to murder

yeah sure that was my grande 

takeaway

not at all the fact as to WHY 

you beat up fuller

that old story still?

well it’s not over yet is it

and my big takeaway actually 

is that you’re a softie Snart 

and not just for bar

shut up

no rlly

defending oliver‘s honor? 

that’s noble

wouldve beaten up anyone 

for throwing around slurs

that’s got nothing to do with 

queen

sure

if you start any rumours 

about me pretty bi, i might 

tell the detective something 

about you and his daughter

you wouldn’t

you wouldn’t dare to anger iris

don’t test me

fine

then your good soul is a secret 

between us i guess

don’t make me laugh

oliverqueer : well, metaphorically

transco : okay [clears throat]

pipes : oh you’re all gonna love this

babybibibi : im already giggling and i don’t know it yet

transco : If I wore a yellow dress / and gave it a twirl / you’d think, God bless, / that I am a girl.

transco : You’d be wrong / cuz this dress may be long, / but so is my dong.

lesbianda : DJFKGHGGJGJ

oliverqueer : what did you do until the semester started

heatwave : jail

transco : wait really

heatwave : ya

babybibibi : ???? i’m so confused

captaincold : until the detective managed shit we did go back to custody

babybibibi : jesus you’re snappy today sara

oliverqueer : nyssa is out for breakfast with ava

transco : she’s WHAT

lesbianda : you’d think me being here would better her mood

bilance : it does <3

oliverqueer : anyway @ crime squad, since we have two more empty rooms at the quiver soon, you can also just crash here for the time being

babybibibi : are u desperately trying to make your friends stick close

heatwave : no thanks

snowflake : don’t break oliver’s heart!!!!

oliverqueer : why do i feel like im being attacked when all i just did was BE NICE

heatwave : you dont wanna have 2 snarts under ya roof

lesbianda : that’s a compelling argument

bilance : oh god i feel like we really don’t want that

irisbest : lmao wally just mentioned snart’s age and now both he and dad got all quiet and awkward

transco : we’re all fine with the age difference as long as nobody mentions it

detectiveprettybi : i… yeah

babybibibi : im changing the topic smoothly

babybibibi : oliver did any of your rich friends say anything about joining pride parade yet

pipes : yeah iris only has 2 weeks to figure out how to bone bruce wayne

oliverqueer : no, nothing yet

transco : aaaaaaaaayyyyyyy it’s always sunny

babybibibi : nice iasip!!!

lesbianda : …. No for real lets go to the farmer’s market

bilance : hmmmmm

snowflake : have fun!!!

Notes:

- there really is a book called "vanishing point" about william turner (the painter) and when i found it while researching for a paper i just CACKLED in the library
- the video hartley sends is the NOT ON MY WATCH!!!! vine
- there really is a play called "red" by john logan that is about mark rothko... and my relationship to it is so funny LIKE. a year ago i listened to it bc the cast has jonathan groff on it and i am a simple person, but i'm bad at auditory processing so i never actually GOT that it was a REAL painter and thought it was a fictional one, idek. fast forward to november 2019 when i sat in class and listened to a presentation about rothko and was like "fuck, imma make snart a rothko fan bc it FITS SO WELL". fast forward two more weeks when i was awake the whole night and decided to re-listen to the play and suddenly BOLTED UP and whispered THAT PLAY IS ABOUT MARK ROTHKO?????? and everything fell into place. that the name of the play gives way for jokes i only noticed while writing this chap, lol

Chapter 37

Summary:

lots of bad news for the gang :(

Chapter Text

lesbianda : I hate twitter

lesbianda : i just had to see with my own eyes that a guy thinks he’s kinky for going down on his girl

irisbest : oh no the poor thing

oliverqueer : imagine thinking you’re random and weird for pleasuring your girlfriend

oliverqueer : can’t relate

lesbianda : ahhh a connoisseur

irisbest : eddie too

lesbianda : nice

heatwave : why’d you not eat out a fucking woman is the question

bilance : mick you absolute fucking legend

transco : oh my god did y’all see on twitter

transco : IT’S A FUCKING TRAGEDY

lesbianda : yeah i just told them

transco : HOW COULD HE

bilance : the straights are at it again

transco : i doubt that his being straight has anything to do with this

irisbest : ???? no it’s plenty to do with it????

captaincold : are y’all even talking about the same thing

oliverqueer : i was just about to ask

oliverqueer : i doubt that he’ll sell it, no matter the offer

captaincold : i love that you thought about it

transco : HE BETTER

transco : WE CAN’T HAVE THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD OWN THE BEST COMIC

irisbest : considering what warrior angel stands for it seems a bit odd that luthor would like it

irisbest : like, at all

babybibibi : pfff we all know he probably thinks of himself as the good guy

lesbianda : hopefully he’ll never try to run for president

pipes : don’t give him any ideas

transco : im actually so sad about this like. What is he gonna change. Will the message be lost

transco : OH GOD what if he lets them pull a ‘steve rogers is an agent of hydra’ mess I’LL DIE

detectiveprettybi : didn’t it turn out that he wasn’t one after all

detectiveprettybi : what are even talking about 

captaincold : scroll up

transco : im preeetty sure they’d have gone through with it if the fans hadn’t screamed

babybibibi : noooo they wouldn’t have been so ruthless

oliverqueer : well im pretty sure lex wouldnt care about what ppl think

irisbest : watch him do a whole reboot with devilicus as the misunderstood person in the whole thing

heatwave : thanks i hate it

transco : I’M SO SCARED

pipes : [image attached]

transco : NOT the TIME for MEMES hartlEY

detectiveprettybi : oh daaaaaaaamn

bilance : gasps

babybibibi : damn we need someone who probably feels the same amount of pain as cisco does and has a rational mind to it

captaincold : bar is busy

babybibibi : well sco has to die then

heatwave : really sad

lesbianda : can’t you revenge buy something oliver

oliverqueer : sure! Shall i buy iron man while i’m at it

lesbianda : actually--

oliverqueer : i don’t have that kinda money

irisbest : i keep forgetting you only have a share of the fortune bc it’s still. So much

transco : where IS bar

transco : during the time of my greatest need they’re gone

captaincold : movie night with the anime nerds aka wally and jesse

bilance : pffffff

pipes : well WE’RE still here,,

transco : hartley i love you but it’s not the same

heatwave : nerds

transco : AND WHAT ABOUT IT

pipes : hey eddie

detectiveprettybi : yes

pipes : we DO need a bathtub

detectiveprettybi : so you can put cisco into a relaxing hot bath?

pipes : yes

detectiveprettybi : swell

bilance : awww you’re cute

snowflake : OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO CRY

babybibibi : :((( was work so bad

snowflake : DIDN’T YOU GUYS READ

irisbest : oh caitlin you’re a fan?

snowflake : ???????????????

snowflake : OBVIOUSLY????

captaincold : i hate to repeat myself but are you talking about the same topic

babybibibi : nah she’s no warrior angel fan

babybibibi : babe what happened

snowflake : THIS

snowflake : [link attached]

snowflake : AS IF THE FIRST SEASON WASN’T SHOT ON AN IPHONE IN THE PRODUCER’S BACKYARD

heatwave : damn snowy calm down

snowflake : DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO

captaincold : oh she’s killer

oliverqueer : oh NO

lesbianda : are you gonna buy shadowhunters

snowflake : oliver PLEASE

pipes : oh fucking hell

oliverqueer : i SURE AS HELL AM

captaincold : you mean if your mom allows?

oliverqueer : … yeah.

irisbest : if we saved b99, then we can do the same for shadowhunters!!!!!

oliverqueer : YEAH

lesbianda: then you can REALLY adopt clary fray as your daughter!!!

snowflake : im so sad

detectiveprettybi : maybe you should go cry with cisco

transco : that’s a FABULOUS IDEA

snowflake : can you come here

bilance : are you too sad to walk

snowflake : no but cisco’s apartment makes me even sadder

lesbianda : djfkfhjfkgjg

transco : we get it, y’all hate my apartment

babybibibi : is that our new running gag

irisbest : we’ll see about that

Notes:

- warrior angel is a comic series in smallville that gets frequently brought up (and lex IS a big fan). basically it's superman within superman bc we know how dctv is with meta jokes (hold up, is THAT why i like it so much???)
- the meme hartley posts is the spongebob screenshot of "marty i'm scared"
- i'm really toying with the idea of having them save shadowhunters in some way but then again i was quite content with the finale of the show so..... probably not. sorry, cait.

Chapter 38

Summary:

bar has a discovery, oliver leads a conspiracy theory, and cait can't deal with unhealthy behaviour

Notes:

it's a good week to be a gay flash stan!!!!

irisbest : personally i love checking up on genealogy

captaincold : holy shit babe

spACEbar : yeah turns out im related to two alleged murderers!!!

heatwave : the keystone killer is not “alleged”

spACEbar : yeah ava said so too

bilance : AVA????

lesbianda : i don’t even know what to concentrate on

spACEbar : ava is very much into true crime, as it turns out

bilance : why THE FUCK do you TALK to AVA

irisbest : why do you talk to ava before you talk to ME

spACEbar : she’s in that class??

spACEbar : pretty sure i mentioned that before

transco : dhfkfjfkf no you did not

snowflake : you really did not

spACEbar : ????

captaincold : think you told me

spACEbar : ah.

pipes : bar really goes out making friends that aren’t us huh

detectiveprettybi : can we go back to you being related to the dude who founded keystone

irisbest : wait i thought the gem cities were founded by the same person

oliverqueer : can a city even be founded by one (1) person

oliverqueer : that seems so dumb

babybibibi : CENTRAL WAS FOUNDED BY A *KILLER*

heatwave : yes?? It’s a well known fact

spACEbar : i don’t think it is

pipes : nope, i think it’s just for us weird crime obsessed kids

captaincold : mick did actually learn about it in school, so

transco : mick went to school??

transco : (that was a joke, how else would he be qualified to study)

lesbianda : im glad you have found your briancell, cisco

oliverqueer : anyone else think about arctic monkeys at that typo? No? Just me?

detectiveprettybi : wait i learnt about him in school too

detectiveprettybi : MICK are you from KEYSTONE

heatwave : yeah?

detectiveprettybi : WHAT

irisbest : damn mick i thought you were a homeboy

captaincold : nope, only got shipped here for juvie

transco : it’s funny that we have all these prison shit here when KEYSTONE was founded by a KILLER

spACEbar : same founder,,,

pipes : that YOU are related to

lesbianda : how old are the cities? Maybe we’re ALL related to him by now

oliverqueer : how did you even get that precise result

spACEbar : oh easy, our prof had us specifically test certain ppl out of curiosity

heatwave : fuckin weird

detectiveprettybi : which fucking teacher was that wtf

spACEbar : devoe, i don’t think you know him

detectiveprettybi : yeah no i don’t

transco : damn bar you’re the chosen one

babybibibi : barry, harry, it rhymes

pipes : you’re a wizard, bar

oliverqueer : HOLY SHIT

lesbianda : oh no he had a breakthrough

captaincold : more like a breakdown

oliverqueer : JULIAN LOOKS LIKE DRACO MALFOY

irisbest : oh god have we reached that level again

spACEbar : oliver, what the hell

bilance : that backfired with your bar/glee parallel too

babybibibi : all leads back to bar

lesbianda : are you sure it’s not just the accent that confuses you oliver

oliverqueer : no have you looked at him???

oliverqueer : y’all make me think i’m going crazy

captaincold : *going*?

bilance : what do you mean, going?

bilance : hah, nice snart

pipes : listen, as a harry potter nerd,

irisbest : well duh who isn’t a harry potter nerd

transco : no, trust me, he’s obnoxious about it

heatwave : you were 8 when the last part came out

captaincold : don’t remind me that they’re all babies

spACEbar : well, i was ten,

captaincold : don’t betray me like this, bar

lesbianda : aaaaand he’s spiralling

pipes : let’s go back to the fact that maybe oliver has a point

oliverqueer : I DO?

pipes : yeah, i mean

pipes : post-war draco or, like, modern AU!draco who ran away from home after realizing his parents are shit--

pipes : he’s got the aesthetic

transco : great now he’s spiralling too

babybibibi : the worst that could happen is him reading drarry fics for the rest of the night

snowflake : very likely

pipes : [reluctantly closes ao3 tab again]

irisbest : treat! Your! Self!

lesbianda : in this house we respect some good old enemies to lovers shit

transco : you do realize who you’re talking to

pipes : we invented enemies to lovers

heatwave : “enemies” you didn’t even try to kill each other you cowards

babybibibi : mick how many characters of yours have that plotline

captaincold : i’d say 90%

irisbest : mick lets you READ his STUFF?

lesbianda : :((( i haven’t seen the new shit

captaincold : finally im privileged

lesbianda : hmpf

spACEbar : i love that expression 

spACEbar : ’hmpf’ looks exactly like it feels and sounds

snowflake : okay i feel like we’re slowly going crazy bc we’re sleepy huh

bilance : half the people here are insomniacs, cait

bilance : including my gf who says she only needs 3h of sleep to be functional

snowflake : noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

babybibibi : great HOW am i supposed to calm her down

heatwave : think of somethin, you know her best

detectiveprettybi : point for mick

captaincold : you know that ain’t helping you get laid

detectiveprettybi : that wasn’t even my goal, mick just made a real good point

transco : ronnie don’t y’all still have to watch the peraltiago wedding

oliverqueer : oh I KNEW there was a reason we didn’t scream about that yet

bilance : jeez your brain really only works from 12 to noon huh

babybibibi : CISCO YOU GENIUS

spACEbar : oh the ep is GREAT have fun!!!

irisbest : very true

lesbianda : oh thank god we can talk freely about it soon

pipes : cait should stop being so busy

irisbest : “tv > rl” - hartley rathaway

transco : words to be remembered for

captaincold : i’d never have seen pipes be the one to say something like this but okay

bilance : anyone else think that we progressed weirdly

detectiveprettybi : well did YOU see the linda/mick friendship coming

spACEbar : i think it’s safe to say nobody saw that

lesbianda : not even me tbh and i usually see everything

oliverqueer : we know

transco : somewhere out there is a parallel world where some of us never met

spACEbar : oh nooo

irisbest : well thank fuck that we did

bilance : hell yeah!

- there's a run in the new52 flash comics where it's revealed that barry allen is related to the keystone killer (not to be confused with the criminal minds perp lmao), i don't remember if they retconned that later on or something bc i read those in... the summer, i think??? i've been meaning to bring this in since then!!! guess the latest legends ep finally gave me the power
- speaking of, legend be like "mick went to school in central" and i go "no thank you" bc this WAS PLANNED SINCE SUMMER STOP THIS @ CANON

Chapter Text

detectiveprettybi : tag urself im sara

transco : what did sara do

bilance : SHUT UP

bilance : WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE

bilance : AGAIN

irisbest : damn quiver did you adopt ava sharpe

detectiveprettybi : came downstairs, looked around and left again without a comment

pipes : nah there was no announcement in the chat

detectiveprettybi : [image attached]

lesbianda : fantasy orgy

lesbianda : if patty were there, i mean

captaincold : you can be thirsty for other people, you know

bilance : nora must be possessed by a demon bc WHY is she CHILLIN with HER

spACEbar : are you ignoring your sister and gf in the mix

bilance : i’m used to their betrayal by now

transco : that’s so sad--

bilance : i hate you

irisbest : no but for real what are they doing there

lesbianda : is this karma for sara’s bullying oliver

detectiveprettybi : well, nyssa DID invite ava

lesbianda : poetic justice

irisbest : :’) beautiful

bilance : what the hell???? I thought we were a squad?????

detectiveprettybi : and ray and oliver had a date or whatever so ray brought his gf, his husband and his husband’s gf along

transco : adds up

pipes : nate and ray will beat cait and ronnie to getting married

babybibibi : rude

babybibibi : but very likely, yeah

snowflake : we’re not rushing to get married <3

heatwave : why get engaged then

detectiveprettybi : did you just ask someone why they got engaged

lesbianda : it’s the thing to show off the massive amount of love you are guaranteed at all times

snowflake : basically

babybibibi : plus fiance sounds more sophisticated than girlfriend

snowflake : and it’s genderneutral!

captaincold : isn’t it usually fiance and fiancee and doesn’t that hold a gender attribution already

pipes : in a heteronormative world, yes

pipes : otherwise it’s just the same as employer/employee

irisbest : so technically ronnie would be the fiance and cait the fiancee?

pipes : yes

babybibibi : we’re both using fiance and BAM

spACEbar : throwing down the cishets one at a time

oliverqueer : that’s the purpose of this whole chat here after all

bilance : oliver what are these people doing here

oliverqueer : i don’t know how to tell you this sara, but these are your friends

bilance : NOT THE PEOPLE HERE I MEAN THE PEOPLE IN OUR HOUSE

oliverqueer : i don’t know how to tell you this sara, but those are my friends. And my house. Ergo

pipes : oh he speaks latin

transco : literally one word and it’s one embedded into the english vocabulary

captaincold : away with the boner, pipes

bilance : y’all enjoy this too much

detectiveprettybi : Have you decided whether to come downstairs now, my beloved?

transco : oh jeez that was creepy as hell could you warn us before you steal eddie’s phone the next time nyssa

spACEbar : kfjfjfkfkg

detectiveprettybi : I will do no such thing because, regardless of who voices it, the question still stands.

bilance : no thanks i think i will stay up here for the rest of the week

detectiveprettybi : )-:

spACEbar : oh god her smileys have noses….?

detectiveprettybi : Naturally they do, just as any human being does.

bilance : it only makes the effect so much worse tbfh

lesbianda : take one for all the wlw and go kiss your gf pls

lesbianda : we don’t want her to be sad

bilance : fine

detectiveprettybi : Thank you, Sara. I love you.

spACEbar : AWWWW

transco : awww

irisbest : that gathering reminds me though

irisbest : dad complained that nobody ever hang out at our house

spACEbar : actual quote, “they all scared of me or what”

irisbest : yeah so we told him the quiver’s usually where we hang out

irisbest : and he said if y’all ever want a change just head over here lol

irisbest : like after pride, he’s gonna be @ cecile’s so we can have an afterparty here if we want 

lesbianda : thanks joe but the afterparty is at verdant

spACEbar : figured

irisbest : but the point stands, we got an open house

pipes : like your house isn’t open already

transco : yeah we’re over all the time

lesbianda : dito

spACEbar : also we told him that eddie’s moving out!!!

spACEbar : which pleased him a lot

irisbest : but when we said he’s moving in with hartley he just went “WALLY’S HARTLEY????”

transco : hfjfhfkfjfj

captaincold : of all the associations

pipes : im… speechless

transco : soon youll have stolen jax’ official best friend rang

babybibibi : omg

pipes : wait

pipes : if jax isn’t wally’s best friend but his BOYfriend

pipes : does that leave ME as his BEST friend

irisbest : preeetty sure they’re still best friends

spACEbar : why don’t you ask him

captaincold : yes please do us all that favour

transco : he’s probs freaking out about that anyways

detectiveprettybi : [image attached]

detectiveprettybi : yep

lesbianda : wait hartley is AT THE QUIVER??? Dhdkfjfk i thought he was at cisco’s

transco : nope

detectiveprettybi : he’s been rekindling his friendship with nate but now he’s just spacing out

babybibibi : rip hart

detectiveprettybi : also i’ve tried to get ray and tommy to discuss oliver’s dick but sadly

captaincold : you really don’t value your life do you

detectiveprettybi : snart i had a job interview to become a cop in blüdhaven what do you think

captaincold : point

spACEbar : okay something’s REALLY up with you two

detectiveprettybi : no it’s not????

bilance : i regret so much

bilance : im sitting between laurel and ava

irisbest : dhfjfkff

pipes : okay shit im okay

transco : you sure

detectiveprettybi : he is

detectiveprettybi : [image attached]

detectiveprettybi : look at those rich kids over there

heatwave : you really don’t fit into the mix there

babybibibi : wlw fraction, rich kid fraction, no space for eddie

detectiveprettybi : y’all know that nora and laurel are straight right?????

irisbest : i refuse to accept that

snowflake : they have queer energy

babybibibi : listen to cait, she’s the only hettie with a working gaydar

captaincold : the most honorable ally

heatwave : i don’t even doubt that weirdly

oliverqueer : OKAY SO

oliverqueer : IT’S SETTLED

lesbianda : oliver did you make any life changing decisions without consulting me

babybibibi : i love that that’s a thing now

bilance : the brilliant fact that he’s announcing this in the chat first before doing it out loud

spACEbar : ollie loves us more than the newbies

heatwave : youre still hung up on the weirdos disliking you huh

oliverqueer : RAY NATE AMAYA AND NORA ARE JOINING US FOR PRIDE

irisbest : NICE

transco : AAAAYYYYY

babybibibi : sweet!!!!!

heatwave : hella

captaincold : i guess ill take that offer of staying at the west’s house after pride

babybibibi : get some mick

bilance : oh great we now have to tell ppl about this groupchat

bilance : watch ava get offended that we didn’t include the newbies

spACEbar : WHAT DID YOU DO

captaincold : isn’t it obvious

transco : no???

heatwave : queen made the announcement here, idiots couldn’t keep quiet and freaked, q ppl not present wondering how they know

oliverqueer : that’s… a pretty good summary, yeah

lesbianda : well look how you fix that

oliverqueer : yes ma’am

irisbest : that’s music to your ears isn’t it

lesbianda : yeah

lesbianda : speaking of, did i mention you’re out of milk

spACEbar : i know, im currently @ the store

captaincold : sorry

transco : you finished it off??? I thought i did

irisbest : no that was the carton before that

babybibibi : iconic behavior of you all

snowflake : if joe invites us all we should do a money jar for all the things we’re gonna eat and drink there

heatwave : nah he’s fine

bilance : i hate ava

snowflake : oh no!

bilance : she’s not even PISSED

lesbianda : she’s… not?

bilance : NO

pipes : lmao she’s going on about how it’s understandable that we’ve become such a tight-knitted group beforehand blah blah

pipes : it’s infuriating

snowflake : it’s sweet!

spACEbar : i’m not even surprised by sara and hartley reacting like this when someone is nice

transco : ikr

irisbest : and here i thought we were gonna have conflict

bilance : *IM* HAVING CONFLICT

oliverqueer : when aren’t you

lesbianda : so… our float is ordered, people are on board, verdant is ready and I’M PUMPED

detectiveprettybi : plus i don’t have to work! 

detectiveprettybi : im at pride as a free man!

captaincold : right, the detective mentioned that

lesbianda : oh neat!!

detectiveprettybi : yeah singh said something about how we deserve to have fun at pride rather than work

detectiveprettybi : he also reminded me to think of my rep tho

heatwave : concept: no cops at pride

irisbest : no cops at pride only eddie

irisbest : and singh

transco : one week to go!!!

babybibibi : do the countdown right, it’s 6 days

spACEbar : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Notes:

sorry ronnie, but it really is seven days until pride parade arrives in this chat

oliverqueer : felicity told me not to play “my white saviour move” but im fucking angry

oliverqueer : we got her and her chair up now but the fact that we HAD to. im so freaking mad especially since i KNOW shes just acting like it does not bother her

lesbianda : FUCK we’re definitely gonna give them a freaking call if not a lawsuit

snowflake : if felicity wants to go through with it, you mean?

lesbianda : hell we can have them for false advertisement

oliverqueer : hi, felicity here

oliverqueer : can we please drop the topic for the rest of today? i’m having a good view now and would like to enjoy it

transco : but it’s true, you’re never at the quiver

transco : OH THAT WAS A RHYME AS WELL

detectiveprettybi : im laughing

bilance : [vine voice] so, no bow?

oliverqueer : no, no bow

captaincold : we’re already escalating, i see

oliverqueer : so when are you guys showing up? 

spACEbar : i thought the parade only starts at 12?

lesbianda : yeah but we’re already partying before

lesbianda : i thought that was obvious

pipes : uh….

oliverqueer : i love that there have been no exaggerations about your uselessness after all

babybibibi : who says we’re useless

oliverqueer : everyone

detectiveprettybi : that’s fair

bilance : okay guys you have t-minus 1h to get to the float, bring glitter and water!

spACEbar : my hero <3

Notes:

- as always, I am not a wheelchair user myself, but my dad spent the greater part of the day using one. still, if anything is HELLA offensive (or said in a way that seems so... because, once again, not a native english speaker here) please tell me
- in case you didn't know: in a world before arrow, felicity smoak was only a minor side character in dc comics and - you guessed it! - indeed ronnie raymond's step-mother
- i rewatched glee's episode "props" recently and it is, in fact, the most incredible one
- i love y'all, thanks for sticking around

Chapter 41

Summary:

PRIDE!

Notes:

this chapter did NOT turn out how i wanted it, but what can you do. there'll also be at least two interludes to this but i couldn't write them yet as i am drowning in uni stuff and writer's block. yay! but that's something to look forward to?

oliverqueer : okay cool

irisbest : im riding with bruce

heatwave : theres a word too much in that sentence

irisbest : i sure hope so

lesbianda : LET’S GO TO MY PARTY

oliverqueer : i…

oliverqueer : sure, it’s yours

Notes:

- the first pic eddie sends is of iris talking to bruce
- the second is this
- the pic cisco sends is of hartley sleeping against his shoulder awww
- yes, you'll see more about lisa's situation and i can tell you there's some meta shit, because ofc there's some meta shit
- linda's pic is of iris and bruce kissing
- i've been meaning to give axel a redemption arc since i read the new 52 comics and FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!!!!! but it only worked out now and it's in no way the end of it, as you can guess by cisco's reaction. i just felt like sometimes bad behaviour really stems from being miseducated and that some people can, in fact, change. i will go more into that at some point, i promise, because apologies are uttered easily but you gotta show it, too

snarts not supposed to

ARE WE GONNA 

BAKE A CAKE

wait are YOU baking 

a CAKE for SNART

shut up

its a tradition

AWWWW



Captain David Singh

06 June 2018

Good morning, 

Captain Singh! 

This is Linda Park 

speaking, I don’t 

know if you have 

my number still saved.

I was wondering 

if you’d be interested 

in a little interview 

preceding this 

year’s pride parade?

Linda, how did you get 

this number?

Well, you never replied 

to the requests I 

sent to your work phone.

And, you know, that’s 

totally valid! I know 

how busy the protectors 

of Central City are. 

But I figured since Pride 

may be a more personal 

thing… 

We could do an interview 

about your work as 

Central’s first openly gay 

Police Captain!

I did plenty of those

when I first started, 

Miss Park.

How about a little update?

Look, you’re friends 

with Thawne. You can 

do an interview with 

him for all I care, I’ll 

allow it. But please 

don’t bother me any 

more.

Oh, you know that 

we’re friends?

You’re not exactly 

subtle. 

That’s right, I guess.

Also, tell Thawne and 

Iris to make that 

whatever that is they 

have going on, it should 

not affect the work 

morale in any way.

… Damn, you’re 

perceptive.

I did not make Captain 

for nothing. 

I’m also aware that Joe 

doesn’t know about… 

that, so I will remain 

quiet about it. Just make 

sure it won’t escalate 

again.

Yessir!

for the website.

[pdf attached]

Look over it, sign it and 

forward it to Walter, 

then you’re fine.

you’re a lifesaver, linda

why do you write like that

well that was a official 

piece of work

gotta have my profesh 

voice on point

wait, is that something i 

should train

you just should never 

write with anyone 

professional 

ever, youre fine

pretty sure thats not 

how it works

you think bruce 

wayne writes his 

own texts?

you think he has a 

ghostwriterfor his 

instagram?????

maybe

don’t panic, yours 

is fine

too late i already 

texted him

goddammit can 

you be cool for 

once in your life

awesome friend

hi linda!!!! 

Can i ask for a favor???

of course!

okay, so this is random 

as hell 

but it’d also be……. 

quite awkward to walk 

around the office and 

ask….

and when i asked lois 

about it she just told 

me to “man up, smallville, 

and do it” while chloe 

never responded at all 

bc she’s neck-deep in 

idek what….

but the thing is i don’t 

KNOW how to do it

clark kent you’re not 

asking me about 

how to pleasure the 

fair sex are you

What???? No!!!

good bc that wouldve 

surprised me ngl

so whats up

well you see….. 

Perry asked me to 

write a feature and i 

dont see myself to be 

able to. 

For personal reasons.

And ive never had to 

step back from an article

so how the heck do i 

do that???

i dont want him to fire 

me!!!!

well im not usually 

someone to speak up 

against star investigative 

reporter lois joanne lane

but if you’re really 

that unable to do it 

then… don’t? Tell perry 

white that you see 

yourself unable to do so

ughhh but then hell ask 

about the why and i 

really dont wanna recall 

my entire history with 

that guy

pushing away my eye 

emoji at THAT 

comment

pretty sure you dont 

have to display any 

personal information 

if you don’t want to

then again ive never 

had a boss to report 

to sooo

isnt oliver your boss????

shhh that’s a recent 

development

and, tbh, im more 

of the boss there

sounds about right

ugh……….. I guess ill 

just tell perry this will 

only end in a bloodbath

knowing him he 

might like that tho

RIGHT?????

tell me how it goes!

took, but I think Tommy might 

have taken a better one.

Patty Spivot: woah i thought 

hearing you talk was weird but 

nope SEEING it is 100% worse

ikr???

Nyssa Raatko : It is not our fault 

that all of you forgot how to 

use punctuation.

Alex Danvers: I view punctuation 

as a kind of russian roulette, tbh. 

Just go for it if you feel like it or 

don’t lmao

Ava Sharpe: I’m pretty sure that’s 

not how Russian Roulette works.

Nyssa Raatko: It really isn’t.

👀

Maggie Sawyers: edgy af

Zari Tarazi Tomaz: lmaooo i 

dont even use punctuation 

when sending mails to my 

teachers

Ava Sharpe: And how does 

that go for you?

Zari Tarazi Tomaz: perf

Zari Tarazi Tomaz: my writing 

project is completely without 

any punctuation its a social 

experiment

Nyssa Raatko: Oh, that must 

be horrible to read.

Zari Tarazi Tomaz: idk its fun 

to write

irisbest : PURE

captaincold : you’re kidding

irisbest : nope

irisbest : [image attached]

spACEbar : names have magic, i tell you

bilance : that’s very much common belief in plenty religions

bilance : though not in this way

detectiveprettybi : yeah like how in ancient egypt knowing someone’s real name gives you power over them???

captaincold : oh great, you were an egypt-obsessed kid

irisbest : hey sara you’re a literal princess according to your name

bilance : bitch im a queen

heatwave : you had your chance at that while dating him

transco : fhjfkfhgkg

irisbest : your last name however means ‘servant’

bilance : what’s the truth now

lesbianda : shouldn’t princesses be like servants to their country

captaincold : havent been that in ages

irisbest : it could also just mean ‘land’

bilance : lame!!!!

pipes : iris im going to take a wild guess and say your name means ‘rainbow’

irisbest : you’re a nerd

irisbest : ‘ann’ means ‘grace’

babybibibi : we’re truly a blessed group here

spACEbar : it’s wild

transco : [points at linda] she’s beauty

transco : [points at iris] she’s grace

transco : [points at sara] she’ll punch you in the face

Notes:

- the thing bar and cisco are referring to is the episode in s2 of queer eye where they help a trans dude, something i'd been craving from them since the beginning and i LOVED it
- bruce had to leave rather early bc he has a SON
- i know that cisco has another canon second name now (and frankly how fitting would it be for a lil trans cisco deciding to name himself after MR T!!!!!) but paco has been it in this fic since i saw it somewhere else - don't ask me where - so that's that
- raymond means 'wise protection' apparently
- edward means 'rich guard'
- all this time i've been fairly sure dc made up the name 'snart' but you CAN actually find some attempt at ethymology for it online according to which it could mean 'swift runner/messenger'. i kid you not. i lost my shit when i randomly learnt that some time ago.
- okay so listen. 'rory' means 'red-haired king' which in itself is funny bc what's the dudes hair colour??? and now in canon they gave him a certain RED-HAIRED someone (spoilers!). y'all. i've connected the dots.
- the image bar sends in reply to mick's "bald" answer is the 'i don't know what i expected' meme
- the image iris sends is mick flipping her off from the other side of the classroom
- all the name meanings can be found as such on the internet and it's BRILLIANT

Chapter 44

Summary:

miscommunication even happens in a fic based on CHATTING

Notes:

this is somewhat late bc i was struck down my massive back pain and finishing my longest ao3 work to date

also, fittingly, this chapter is a mess, yikes

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

irisbest : the homophobia that she leaves on my birthday

lesbianda : you’re not even gay

oliverqueer : it’s caitlin’s birthday after all

snowflake : ;;;A;;;

pipes : hey bar did you and cait text a lot recently

spACEbar : i don’t use those emoticons so often!!!!

transco : it’s Enough

spACEbar : anyway, hey, linda, how exactly are you getting to nc????

lesbianda : long af bus ride

lesbianda : why

spACEbar : well i could technically crash at kara’s….

babybibibi : are you randomly deciding to go along

babybibibi : what

spACEbar : i can be fun and spontaneous!

irisbest : no you can’t

spACEbar : yes i can

irisbest : no you can’t

spACEbar : YES I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

pipes : thank you for this

captaincold : they’ve been plenty fun and spontaneous with me

detectiveprettybi : eye emoji

irisbest : have you even asked dad about it

spACEbar : im an adult!

spACEbar : though i will……….

transco : did you ask snart about it

captaincold : hate to break it to you but im not their keeper

bilance : we stan a healthy independent couple

lesbianda : ROAD TRIP WITH MY FAV ENBY

babybibibi : rude?

pipes : yeah mick is literally there

babybibibi : wow

irisbest : hey ronnie have we ever even learnt which your genders are

oliverqueer : does it matter

babybibibi : oh it’s easy sometimes it’s boy and usually it’s what the fuck

spACEbar : mood on that last one

spACEbar : AND YEEEES ROAD TRIP LET’S DO IT

spACEbar : (if joe lets me)

lesbianda : sweet

lesbianda : unless you can sleep on the bus though i’d plan on skipping class on monday

spACEbar : we’re back before tuesday? perfect

snowflake : what’s on tuesday??

captaincold : the third of july

transco : i spontaneously forgot about independence day (not the movie) (how could i ever) and for a hot second thought it’s on the 3rd

bilance : struggle when youve got multiple nationalities?

transco : yeah

captaincold : im fully american and wish i didnt know about it

irisbest : holiday invented by slave-owners? can’t imagine why you’d hate it

heatwave : firework’s nice

pipes : naturally

oliverqueer : oh god. Independence day

bilance : you picked the worst possible time for your bachelor thesis

oliverqueer : i keep noticing

spACEbar : i still can’t wrap my head around ollie graduating

spACEbar : it feels like… like the end of something, somehow

lesbianda : we aren’t letting this chat die

heatwave : i wish you did

transco : no you don’t

pipes : are we singing again

captaincold : nobody is performing annie shut up

pipes : GASPS

transco : snart exposed as broadway stan

Notes:

- i hope you all know the 'much to think about' tweet
- okay so. as you know i am a german bean who finds americans way to confusing, so this has been based on the way my uni works. and therefore oliver writing his bachelor paper goes the same way as it went for me. he has 6 weeks to work on it and then it will take a while until it's corrected and... yeah.
- me, remembering finals weeks has to happen: [sweats]
- 'no you can't' - 'yes i can' is from 'anything you can do' from the musical annie get your gun
- i also forgot about independence day until that second. i can't with you americans.

and, now, a bit more serious: oliver's graduation won't mark the ending of the chat, but it'll pretty much be the ending of this series, which hurts me, to be honest. but everything has to come to an end sooner or later and i feel like it's a nice echo of the way the arrowverse did things, which is a method i love, as you might know :D i will finish this part and then the one about the summer vacation and when that's over, it'll have been a whole year in-verse. but fret not - knowing me, it will probably take another whole year irl for me to finish it. and then there's also interludes to still be written, things you can request and... yeah. it's not gone and it won't ever be gone BECAUSE I LOVE THIS FIC and i love y'all for reading it and enjoying it <3333 so, we still have a lot to live through together and i look forward to it!

Chapter 45

Summary:

KeepCalmandGay pointed out that some people still have some unfinished business, so we're taking care of that now.

pipes : I am your sister!

bilance : as established

pipes : Why did Hartley have to give me his phone, though? Not only are we in the same building, Oliver’s also in this chat.

oliverqueer : consider: i don’t know either

bilance : consider: i am wrapped up in my girlfriend’s arms

lesbianda : and then you’re online????????

pipes : Linda raises a good point there.

lesbianda : laurel is the only lance with a brain

irisbest : pretty sure you were the rude ones

oliverqueer : oh right, im the rude one here

babybibibi : no youre the loser

oliverqueer : ?????

bilance : it’s true ollie you said 2 weeks

bilance : those are long gone

oliverqueer : who says they started *dating* at the gala!!!

snowflake : i don’t think they spent 2 months doing… that without dating

captaincold : snow you’re becoming a doc you can say fuck

transco : caitlin is legally prohibited to say fuck

detectiveprettybi : are we doing the meme????????

heatwave : no

transco : bar doesnt say fuck but can do so if asked

captaincold : not my experience

irisbest : ^

spACEbar : fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

transco : aw come on you were practically asked now

bilance : cait’s right 

bilance : but if they started AT the gala, then the 8 weeks she bet are over now

bilance : which makes me, who said 3 months, the winner™ so pay up

heatwave : but didn’t you bet they’d break up then

heatwave : whatcha gonna do when they date for longer

lesbianda : ohhh mick stole cait’s braincell!!!!

babybibibi : i thought cait and i were sharing--

pipes : yeah but cait has custody rights

babybibibi : that’s… valid, actually

oliverqueer : hah sara you wont get any of my money

bilance : :(((

bilance : i guess i’ll just… have to keep living in the house you pay and sleep in the bed you paid for and use the water you pay for and cook on the stove you bought--

oliverqueer : …

captaincold : we all know you guys didn’t bet for the money but bc you’re proud bastards

oliverqueer : can’t argue with that

spACEbar : obviously

irisbest : why did cait bet

snowflake : i was high on dopamine

transco : sounds likely

lesbianda : hey @ wests can i crash at yours tonight

spACEbar : how did i become a west

pipes : it’s easier than spelling out west/allens every time

transco : more wests than allens there

irisbest : :^) 

irisbest : also yeah sure

captaincold : why tho

lesbianda : jealous bc u can’t???

captaincold : i… couldn’t, technically, that’s right

captaincold : but you live closer to queen’s club than the wests

spACEbar : et tu, len

lesbianda : maybe i wanna spend time with my fave fam????

heatwave : ur own family literally lives in central

lesbianda : >:(

heatwave : doesnt work w u

detectiveprettybi : mick is more fearless than captain singh pass it on

detectiveprettybi : fearlesser? 

captaincold : shut up

detectiveprettybi : yeah i worked myself up into that one now

pipes : “less” already is the comparative

transco : wtf comparative of what

pipes : little

irisbest : you’re kidding

babybibibi : there stands braveheart, the fearlittle

snowflake : yeah it’s a whole new word it can’t possibly count

spACEbar : “LESS” IS A FORM OF “LITTLE”????

transco : i wish i could claim english isn’t my first language and therefore i could duck out of this convo but--

detectiveprettybi : wait IS english your first language?

captaincold : didn’t i just say shut up

spACEbar : awww

transco : i learnt english and spanish simultaneously so technically they’re both my first language?

pipes : god that’s so sexy of you

heatwave : interesting foreplay

babybibibi : fuck i failed at being bi-everything bc i only know one language……

babybibibi : but im kinda glad bc imagine having to define your gender specific wordings in multiple language no thank you

pipes : the real enemy: gendered languages

transco : one time i told my abuelo something about a non-binary person and turns out it’s gendered in spanish

spACEbar : oh god what no

transco : are you non-binario or non-binaria bar

spACEbar : neither, thanks!

oliverqueer : that defeats everything???

transco : tell me about it

irisbest : i’ve always wanted to unlock the mysteries of foreign languages hours before my birthday party

detectiveprettybi : not just foreign languages

spACEbar : not just the men, but the women and the children, too!

transco : why did my mind jump to the same place

captaincold : bc you’re nerds

transco : but you love us!

captaincold : well, one of you

snowflake : awwww

bilance : kinda said laurel didn’t stick around for this

bilance : it’s a nerdy discussion!

oliverqueer : and still as messy as ever

lesbianda : that’s us, baby!

Notes:

- oliver feels like he forgets everything bc he's still very much overwhelmed by everything going on (poor boy=
- how did everyone of y'all comment on cait's birthday but nobody on iris' smh
- it has taken me 3 and a half years to namedrop jonathan groff in this, i hope y'all are proud
- cait having the custory rights over the braincell might be the funniest thing i wrote since the ham issue in the snartphone chap
- "fearlittle" comes from me questioning the english languages
- knowing multiple languages while being non-binary is the worst. i know 4 live languages and question my gender in each of them, it's exhausting
- bar quotes star wars at the ending there

Chapter 46

Summary:

this might sound familiar, but iris' birthday party is a mess

Notes:

i've struggled to remember that it's june in this fic so i kept telling myself that and now i legit forgot what month it is in real life.... anyway, heppy pesach and easter to all of you who celebrate!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

oliverqueer : oh you’ve been texting with clark lately huh

lesbianda : why do you think that

captaincold : y’all’dn’t’ve

lesbianda : shut up

Notes:

- the video bar posts is just cait being crying and saying how much she loves everyone but especially ronnie
- rolf is... not pretty
- the panic! song they're playing is high hopes and the video iris posts at that is after, hartley dragged ronnie and cisco to the dancefloor, them jumping up and down to it. i love this image so much. if any of y'all can draw, i'd give you my left kidney for it (that's my favourite!)

in other news, since my one braincell lives at cait & ronnie's apartment now, too: in case you remember any plotlines i brought up but never finished, do tell me! there's a few that i already know will get revealed but maybe i forgot some

spACEbar : ┌(° ͜ʖ͡°)┘

spACEbar : that me waving from the basement

pipes : did you just tell iris where youre hiding

spACEbar : no she loc ked us in here

oliverqueer : valid

Notes:

- [clutches my john diggle = world's best husband mug] it's me. i love dig too much to expose him to this madness
- i made happy harbor and ice cream parlor chain rather than a place bc... idk why, it just happened. yup, it's a reference to barry and nora w-a in the show ;A;
- snart's spirals at the age difference between him and bar is actually me spiralling about the age difference between him and bar
- the meme wally sends is this
- the second pic he sends is just one of bar grinning at their phone (i love them so much)
- birthdays at the wests' house means no real food and lots of movies and board games, i wanna be part of them
- rama would crush achilles with his left foot without even noticing he hit that whiny piece of shit and hector's ghost would be clapping as he takes a break from apologizing to patroclus for killing him bc they're all chilling down in hades bc thats where you end up after you died a hero's death and nothing back from your life matters anymore so it's all chill and that's that
- that being said i feel like once they settled that patroclus and hector would join forces and pull pranks on agamemnon for the rest of their undead life while achilles cries about having the power to rule over a small army of the dead (last bit is actually canon in the odyssey, thanks)
- that was brought to you by "yas finally finished a paper for uni after 2 months of working on it so now they need to make fun of it somehow"
- i hope you enjoyed

transco: i love that behrad just chose to be the water boy for you guys

bilance: behrad loves me more than any of you guys ever will

detectiveprettybi: ouch

captaincold: i’d have to leave soon again anyway, it doesn’t pay out

transco: rude

snowflake: it’s fine!!!!

snowflake: i’m just glad you could make it at all and even if you hadn’t, it would have been alright!!

spACEbar: god caitlin you’re too nice even for my standards

Chapter 49

Summary:

"delete your fucking e-mails" - my brother

Notes:

please note that i WILDLY underestimated how long a bus ride takes from illinois to california. let's just assume... that it takes half the time. like. 15h max. maybe there's no traffic. or the bus runs with nitroglycerin. or this is just a fictional work created by a small european. something like that.

ALSO WELCOME TO THE WEEK WHERE CANON GIVES ME BACK HARTLEY RATHAWAY WHO ELSE IS EXCITED

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

lesbianda : the dude in front of me who’s rubbing his feet with oil

lesbianda : whoops wrong chat

snowflake : i’m not even sure if i want the context

detectiveprettybi : you’re almost a doctor, you’ve probably seen way worse 

pipes : what the hell

lesbianda : THAT WAS MEANT FOR BAR

lesbianda : STOP LAUGHING BACK THERE

spACEbar : she full on turned around to glare at me

spACEbar : [image attached]

snowflake : oh nooo you’re so far apart

lesbianda : yeah that’s why we’re playing i spy

spACEbar : she types this and still glares at me

transco : some people can type without looking at their phone,,,

irisbest : sounds fake but okay

spACEbar : seriously ^

snowflake : why aren’t you sitting together :((

lesbianda : someone else had gotten the seat next to me already

spACEbar : booked my ticket too late

captaincold : did you consider asking if the dude wants to switch

spACEbar : yes

lesbianda : no you didn’t????

spACEbar : i did consider asking

babybibibi : … but you didn’t?

spACEbar : no

pipes : why

spACEbar : i have anxiety

captaincold : what’s the worst that could happen

spACEbar : he could say no

captaincold : and then you’d be in the same situation as right now so it’s not worse

spACEbar : on the opposite, he’d Know

spACEbar : and he’ll spend the whole day thinking about what a dweeb i am for thinking he’d switch his seat with me and then he’ll go home to his husband and tell him about that idiot on the bus

bilance : i love that your anxiety is consisted about people being queer at least

spACEbar : thanks

lesbianda : bar shall I ask

spACEbar : no it’s fine!!!!!

spACEbar : we only have four hours left, it’s cool!!!

oliverqueer : four hours in a bus doesn’t seem so chill

transco : well it isn’t if you’re used to private jets, sure

oliverqueer : … fair

detectiveprettybi : i still can’t believe bar and linda are getting some extra pride

lesbianda : B)

babybibibi : while i have all of you here

babybibibi : how many unread mails do you have

bilance : like 80

oliverqueer : on my private address like 25, official 8

irisbest : the three newsletters that arrives just now

heatwave : i dont get mails

oliverqueer : you don’t get mails?

captaincold : he means he doesn’t check

snowflake : never? 

snowflake : mick! There could be uni mails!

heatwave : if i miss anything important theyll tell me out loud

lesbianda : 0

captaincold : dito

pipes : 252

oliverqueer : god why so many

pipes : if the headline doesn’t interest me i’ll just ignore them completely

spACEbar : same, which is why i have 907

lesbianda : WHYYYYYY

bilance : disGOSting

transco : oh

pipes : honestly i never considered 250 many because, well, cisco,

oliverqueer : cisco. 

irisbest : cisco do you have more than bar

captaincold : this gives me a migraine please just drop the number 

transco : [image attached]

lesbianda : WHAT THE FUCK

babybibibi : yeah sco is horrible

oliverqueer : ALMOST 3000

transco : the goal is to collect 9000+ so i can go full vegeta

spACEbar : OOOOHHHH

detectiveprettybi : what

transco : [image attached]

captaincold : you’re collecting e-mails for a meme? That’s what i call dedication

transco : well actually im on a lot of mailing lists and newsletters and that’s the sum of three mail addresses but… yeah

babybibibi : so we all agree that cisco’s number of unread mails is ridiculous

bilance : did you only ask us to roast your ex

transco : hey!

lesbianda : i already found hartley’s number ridiculous

pipes : life’s too short to read e-mails

detectiveprettybi : did you read the one i forwarded to you at least

pipes : … i will

detectiveprettybi : jesus christ what if it had been pressing

pipes : then i’d have gone with the mick method bc you surely would have addressed it early enough just like you do right now

detectiveprettybi : you got me there

heatwave : see

irisbest : i gotta say hartley i thought you were more organized

pipes : that’s my organisation

oliverqueer : you should see his room, it’s chaos

pipes : it’s chaos to you, not to me

transco : yeah it’s not that bad if you get used to his system

pipes : thank you babe

detectiveprettybi : so many things i should have considered before deciding to move together with the dude

captaincold : bicon will you tell us now why you asked

babybibibi : wells addressed it actually

bilance : which wells 

babybibibi : kinda both? 

babybibibi : harry complained about hr having 500 unread mails so i guess i can tell him there’s much worse

transco : oh god don’t tell him it’s me

babybibibi : oh i already did

lesbianda : are you texting about us

babybibibi : no i told him right away bc cisco’s numerous unread mails are something i can never scratch from my brain

transco : i feel attacked?

irisbest : more than 100 unread mails must be punished by law

spACEbar : hey

snowflake : how can you even have so many!!!!

spACEbar : sometimes even deleting those is too much,,,

babybibibi : okay, valid

bilance : hey bar is linda still glaring at you

spACEbar : no

spACEbar : she’s back to figuring out what i spy with my little eye

pipes : what’s your tip

spACEbar : red, yellow and white

oliverqueer : that’s an ugly color combination

transco : hey i kinda like it

pipes : yeah, reminds me of firefighters

heatwave : eh

babybibibi : are you gonna tell us what it is

spACEbar : no???? Linda could be reading along????

irisbest : can you believe i only have one sibling this weekend and my best friends decided to skip town,,,,

irisbest : whatever will i do

snowflake : prepare for finals??

irisbest : pfffff they’re only in two weeks

transco : lisa was gonna force me to the rink

transco : you could join

irisbest : oh fun!!

captaincold : oh, so that she can do

babybibibi : are you still fighting

bilance : she’s certainly still pissed at him

oliverqueer : thats how lil sisters are sometimes, it’ll get better

heatwave : dont try to give him tips or hell flip

oliverqueer : ofc he will

irisbest : so what are the others doing this fine weekend

snowflake : … prepare for finals

transco : óh cait

oliverqueer : read through secondary literature

irisbest : óh ollie

transco : are you mocking my keyboard

irisbest : yep

heatwave : work

detectiveprettybi : we’re looking at another flat

pipes : wait we are?

detectiveprettybi : the email i forwarded you,

detectiveprettybi : i thought you checked for it now

pipes : well no

pipes : but cool! What flat

detectiveprettybi : please just open the damn mail

bilance : ngl i love how hartley is way more chaotic than you think at first

transco : it’s all an illusion

transco : the first time i had to work with him i thought stein wanted me to develop some more discipline

transco : now i think he’d meant for ME to teach hart some more order actually

pipes : and you failed

babybibibi : pretty sure he just put you together so others wouldn’t have to suffer

bilance : maybe he never actually pitched you against each other but figured you were the only ones who could work with the other

pipes : no trust me, he enjoyed seeing us fight

transco : one time hart almost poisoned me and stein cheered him on

irisbest : he WHAT

pipes : yeah he found it so funny

irisbest : i meant YOU actually

transco : it wasn’t so bad, he just coated my bag with some acid

pipes : i ACCIDENTALLY spilt some DROPS

oliverqueer : jesus christ

detectiveprettybi : i will die in my sleep won’t i

bilance : eh you’ve been fine so far

detectiveprettybi : great!

Notes:

- i am more chaotic than any of them bc my three e-mail accounts sum up to a number higher than cisco's and bar's combined. whoops. my brother has yelled at me about it two days ago so now i needed to cope
- the meme cisco prepare to copy is, of course, this one
- apparently 'i spy' is NOT a game about colours for americans? wild. again, clueless european at work. also, do you spot my meta joke about the colours there?
- in case you're wondering why lisa is pissed at snart (like she needs any new reasons): at pride he'd confronted her about going out with a guy who's got a grilfriend, remember?

- i got most of next week's chapter written already (which is nice bc my laptop keeps dying so writing is a pain in the ass) and it's gonna be FUN!!!!

Chapter 50

Summary:

i received vibes from cisco's phone, so here we are

Notes:

first things first. last episode? I LOVE MY BF HARTLEY RATHAWAY????? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW....... also, like every time we have a masked villain i am convinced that it's Eddie. Please. let them have rewritten godspeed's origin story to make it fit to eddie. i just want my man back. i miss him. plea s e

ANYWAY. this chapter is fun! there's lots of spanish here and i've contemplated just leaving it in english with, like brackets around to indicate it's another language, but then i decided to keep the authenticity (also i missed spanish) (shoutout to my friend kari who corrected my grammar lol)!!! the translations, however, are in the end notes.

hope you enjoy! i love this chapter a lot.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

puto hermano: So you’ve 

got nothing to blame me for.

en contrario my 

dear brother

mando(lore): yeah it was 

still a jerk move gigante 

i mean, it did save 

her some heartbreak 

bc i’d have left her 

crying in a puddle, 

but you know, the 

principle,

puto hermano: Sure, _she_ 

was the only one I kept from 

a heartbreak… 

Because that puta deserves 

that we feel sorry for her…

hey i didn’t say that

mando(lore): oye, tienes razón,

the heartbreak

that from Tomáz, who heard 

from Frederique, who overheard 

Marcelo on the phone while 

he talked to James who is 

facebook friends with Michelle 

still, just as a warning, so 

maybe it’s not real. 

mando(lore): no conozco a 

nadie de esa gente 

you definitely made 

up some of these

Michelle has frequently 

tagged Melinda in motherhood 

memes and stuff like that.

puto hermano: It’s not even 

been subtle.

PUTA

mando(lore): ESTÁS MAMANDO

puto hermano: Pendejo, are

 oh

ohhhh

well.

figured

i might have vented 

about you a few 

times when you were 

extremely insufferable

 but it’s not like 

you are any more!

i get it

 do you really

you KNOW that i love 

you right

yes of course

i love you too

you know what you 

should do? 

come with me on 

vacation

what??? 

dont worry about money, 

oliver said he’d fly 

me out when he leaves for 

his vacation anyway

so a second guest won’t 

matter and my abuelo 

wouldn’t mind either!!

i don’t know

 it’ll be fun! 

i’m not sure if i want 

to spend however long 

with people who have 

all the reason to hate 

me, cisco

that’s why you should 

come!

show them that you’ve

changed and that i’ve 

probably also 

exaggerated a lot 

lets be honest

yeah you tend to do 

that

i’m still not sure

understandable,,,

and i’d have to check 

in with mercury

that doesn’t sound 

like a nooo

it isn’t

are you sure you 

want me there? 

abso-fucking-lutely

i’d love to meet your

family, actually

especially your abuelo. 

I know how much he 

means to you

 does that mean it all 

depends on dr 

mcgee now

i suppose she’s not 

the sole decision-maker, 

but yeah, basically

SCREECHES

PUERTO RICO BABY

i’ve actually never been 

out of the states

puerto rico IS a state

damn

her operation AGAIn

 it away bc ‘medical 

inaccuracies’ i wouldn’t

doctor!

she HAS to look out 

for those!

It’s a game!!!! 

It’s not real!!!!!

but this year’s has 

modifications dw

I fixed it

I had help from an 

actual doc!

29 June 2018

 

linda deadass fell 

asleep

omg

can you help me 

pass the time 

i keep spiralling

Sure!!!

about how i should have

stayed at home

like… finals are coming up

I should have studied

and joe’s probably pissed 

too

didn’t joe talk to you 

yesterday to make 

sure you knwo that 

it’s Okay

yeah

and i know he meant 

it but anxiety,,,

I already hit up len 

but...

u kno I love the guy 

with half my heart 

but sometimes I hate 

how rational he is

what about the other 

half

that’s where I store 

my hatred for time 

travel 

you store your hate in 

your heart?

yeah where else

huh

you got me there

soooo you want a 

distraction?

if you can provide one,,,

in the form of a fic idea 

I had?

oh YES pls

listen here my friend:

stargate texting fic

wait like a “I texted the 

wrong number” one?

I was thinking more 

along the lines of 

a groupchat

OHHHH

shit that’s good that’d 

be fun

ikr their verbal 

conversations are 

already funny now 

imagine teal’c

learning about 

memes

djfjfkfk

ohhh the people from 

Atlantis could also join 

at times!!!!

of course

it’s brilliant

if we keep it as canon 

divergent we could 

probably even throw 

in other fandoms

StarStarStar?

you catch my vibe

nice

GALAXY BRAIN CISCO

I KNOW

ohhh we could use 

our groupchat as a 

blueprint!!!

so were doing a 

collab????

oh shit did you want to 

do it on your own

pal until this moment 

I didn’t even think to 

actually do it

SO YES let’s collab

NICE

so I was thinking, 

Carter making 

a groupchat for 

communication purposes,

Notes:

- if you have a friend who's studying/working in a medical profession and don't annoy them with every random thing, you are doing it wrong, tbh
- optimus prim(e)os, geddit? bc.... optimus prime..... from transformers..... and 'primo' means cousin.... haha
- in the comics cisco has a brother called armando (who is actually rupture) and i made him his cousin. he lives in puerto rico and english is his second language so he makes typos and mistakes like all of us do. also, i was calling him 'mandolorian' at first but the show didn't exist yet at the time this convo is set in. the planet mandalore, however...
- you're more likely to drop words in another language/your native language when talking to someone who also knows it, which is why cisco barely ever speaks spanish in the main chat but does here frequently. THAT's how bilinguality works in fics, folks!
- one of my reading goals this year is the bible! from start to finish! so i had to put it in this fic. originally it was a book club with a friend but i think she dropped it by now.... but well. my reasoning to do it is the same as hartley's but my behaviour while reading is the same as sara's (in fact, i wrote a whole paper on how the tower of babel is the temple for marduk, lol)
- yep, that's rosa dillon. in the comics she's a guy so I Decided That She Is a Trans Girl and in the trans chat now. and a special treat for those who didn't catch it: she's dating sam scudder in the show. both sam and roscoe (og rose in the comics) have a history of dating lisa snart.....
- remember when my best friend won meet & greet tickets for a bieber concert and then the universe didn't let us go.... i swear, i'm over that, i promise.....
- yes cisco has permission to save bar under that name
- no i will NOT write a stargate chat fic
- also, the last flash ep was directed by amanda tapping (aka samantha carter from stargate) so.... it's all playing into my cards

and now the notes you all are actually here for: spanish!
- puta = bitch
- tienes razón = you're right
- no conozco a nadie de esa gente = I know none of these people
- estás mamando = you're kidding
- pendejo = idiot/asshole
- bochinche = gossip
- yo no fui el que vino aquí hablando inglés = I wasn't the one who came in here speaking English
- gringo = well... basically, like, a white and ignorant monolingual american
- and cisco & mando's convo as a whole:

listen

yes

i've been thinking

that's never a good
sign

fuck you
why am i talking
to you

because i'm your
favorite cousin

eh
[gif attached]
[hand wriggling
gesture]

sooooo what was
your question

did you name yourself
after the character
from star trek?

wtf
do you also ask every
person called hudson if
he's named after finn
hudson?

SINCE WHEN DO YOU
WATCH GLEE?

i don't
my boyfriend, however,

i might just have
fallen in love with
your boyfriend
just now

knock yourself out

heatwave : prove

spACEbar : well during my sleep,,,,,,,, sometimes i just feel a deja vu in some situation and then turns out i’ve dreamed it before……..

pipes : random as hell

irisbest : oh that can actually happen tho

irisbest : it’s called deja reve

transco : that’s not a fun fact that’s a weird fact

spACEbar : thanks, i take pride in that!!!!

babybibibi : as you should

spACEbar : :DD i’ll give you alex now!!!!

bilance : i’ve printed out the adoption papers

spACEbar : you left half of my friends in a confused state, i hope you can live with yourself

capaincold : we love it, actually

oliverqueer : they really do

pipes : seeing others suffer is my favorite free-time activity

spACEbar : … how are you friends with bar ‘sunshine’ allen

babybibibi : opposites attract

bilance : literally. bar’s boyfriend is the devil himself

transco : hey now we met lucifer, he was more easy-going than snart

spACEbar : i understand my friends now

detectiveprettybi : hey you’re kara’s sister right

spACEbar : yes

irisbest : ohhh you can give us so much dirt

spACEbar : karas life is the most boring shit ever

irisbest : lame

snowflake : do you have a fun fact? 

spACEbar : i’ve been kicked out of med school when i coped with the stress by becoming a partygirl but now i’m working security so i can actually use these guns

babybibibi : actual guns? 

spACEbar : those too

spACEbar : god i love guns

captaincold : mildly upsetting

irisbest : a wee bit

detectiveprettybi : well how often do you even use them, national city is pretty chill isn’t it

spACEbar : eh depends

snowflake : oh god where did we let bar go

spACEbar : i feel like i made things weird so i’ll be leaving

pipes : yeah flee from the consequences

transco : wHeN wIlL yOu LeArN tHaT yOuR aCtiOnS hAvE cOnSeQuEnCeS

oliverqueer : typing this is proof that you hate yourself

transco : yeah it hurt

spACEbar : Oh, great, Oliver Queen is here.

detectiveprettybi : oh god oliver who did you sleep with now

spACEbar : Ugh, no.

spACEbar : I have better taste, thank you.

bilance : hey we all made mistakes when we were young,

captaincold : why did you have to out yourself like that

bilance : impulse

oliverqueer : uhhh who are you

spACEbar : Lena Luthor.

pipes : ohhhhhhhhh

captaincold : my condolences

transco : have you told your brother to go fuck himself recently

spACEbar : Only yesterday, in fact. It never ceases to feel magnificent.

transco : can you do it again in the name of a warrior angel fan

spACEbar : Gladly.

oliverqueer : i still dont know what i did to you

spACEbar : Nothing personally, we’ve just been trained to have a natural dislike for every other billionaire on this planet.

irisbest : didnt your parents have meetings and let the kids play amongst themselves

spACEbar : Yeah, but those meetings were mostly for bitching at each other. Billionaire parents have no soul.

pipes : neither do millionaires

babybibibi : hey you’re dating two people right

spACEbar : Yes.

spACEbar : I’ll admit it’s a bit strange to be dating the cousin of my brother’s ex, but from what I have heard it’s nothing compared to the semi-incestuous things the media reported about Oliver’s sexcapades.

oliverqueer : i don’t deserve this

detectiveprettybi : omg it wasnt me for once

irisbest : wait…………… kara’s cousin dated your brother?????

transco : which cousin

bilance : which BROTHER

spACEbar : Considering Julian died before I was born and I have talked to Lucas for exactly one hour in my life, who do you think?

pipes : OH SHIT?

babybibibi : OH DAMN WHERE’S LINDA AT

spACEbar : … I feel like I have overstepped here. I didn’t realize this wasn’t known, so please forget about it.

spACEbar : Oh bloody hell, I really screwed up.

oliverqueer : we won’t tell anyone, don’t worry

irisbest : YEAH BUT DON’T EXPECT US NOT TO SHOUT ABOUT IT TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE

irisbest : DAMN

bilance : I’M HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN TBH

transco : SAME

spACEbar : oh no

spACEbar : i think i broke the universe

heatwave : linda isnt picking up

pipes : i love that you tried that

snowflake : i’m… shocked and appalled

Notes:

- the show snart watches is leverages and it's bRILLIANT. i'm watching it with my mum atm (started it after a friend of mine kept sending me posts comparing the leverage crew to the legends. it also helps that the guy on leverage who's responsible for beating up ppl has the sam edubbing voice as mick)
- kara's history with glasses is my history with glasses
- once at a party i didn't sleep the whole night because i had three people piled on top of me at all times. so i didn't even have the option of getting rid of my hangover (the first and only one i had in my life) and it was fantastic that on the day after that party my parents and me visited a marching band competition. my head still pounds at that memory
- i'll save you an embarrassing google search in case you don't know: a fleshlight is a sex toy.
- remember how mike was mon-el's human alias?
- i'm calling brainy "carl" in this bc it almost sounds like "querl", thank you
- julian and lucas are lex' brothers on smallville (lena is there too but with a different name). julian really died as a child, lucas is the half-brother lex didn't know he had. he's portrayed by paul wesley and, predictably, an asshole
- .... more about that... other thing.... to come

Chapter 52

Summary:

national city pride, baby!

Notes:

this part of the fic had it's first birthday on the 19th.... it's time to wrap this up at some point, jesus christ. how do these keep getting longer and longer???

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

lesbianda : THE ONE MORNING WHERE I AM NOT HERE

lesbianda : AND I MISS  T H A T

irisbest : YEAH

irisbest : WHERE WERE YOU

transco : WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE WESTFOLD FELL

bilance : bar said that lena refuses to give us any more info (which is valid)

babybibibi : yeah it’s very valid considering neither of the people in question are present

snowflake : I never even thought anyone could feel anything but hatred for lex luthor

pipes : look even cait can’t have positive feelings for him

lesbianda : yeah and clark of all people????

lesbianda : i’ll…. Softly inquire kara about this later….

lesbianda : or lena.

lesbianda : james too. All of them

lesbianda : like. I don’t wanna out anyone or shit BUT I JUST CAN’T COMPREHEND

captaincold : you could ask kent

captaincold : aren’t you texting anyways

oliverqueer : yeah but then she’d snitch on lena

lesbianda : i’ll just… play it cool

lesbianda : we’re partying today anyways, so here’s to loosened tongues

heatwave : fill em up

lesbianda : that’s the plan

lesbianda : though we won’t make anyone drink more than they really want to because in this house we stan consent of all kinds

transco : hell yeah

snowflake : that’s so responsible i love you

oliverqueer : if that’s the way to your heart why are you dating ronnie

babybibibi : hey

snowflake : hey

transco : real talk ronnie is more responsible than most of us combined

captaincold : you’re only saying this to justify that you dated xem

irisbest : he’s dating hartley now though so it’s not like he has standards in that department

pipes : wow remember when you all thought i was stuck up and shit

pipes : kinda miss that time

bilance : you did a good job keeping up that appearance i’ll give you that

oliverqueer : until you moved into the quiver at least

bilance : oh whaaat bar you look amazing

oliverqueer : you really do!

irisbest : holy shit how did you get roped into this

pipes : and how did you not get into this sooner

detectiveprettybi : HOLY FUCK

spACEbar : there’s many things you can do in life but disagreeing with kara danvers is not one of them

spACEbar : be glad i didn’t wear this to our pride bc snart would have killed you for staring at me

transco : i don’t know what looks better on you - the confidence or make-up

detectiveprettybi : [gif attached]

captaincold : it’s true

lesbianda : whoever did that needs to paint these lids too

heatwave : isnt ur outfit on point

lesbianda : [image attached]

transco : people with itchy skin probably

bilance : i look at linda and think shit maybe i’m a lesbian after all

irisbest : i wish i wasn’t so secure about my only being attracted to men

lesbianda : yeah why am i even friends with you

snowflake : why are we surprised that bar and linda look great? They always do

spACEbar : AWWW CAIT

lesbianda : cait if it weren’t for the fact that i’m sitting right next to my girlfriend i’d ask for your hand in marriage

babybibibi : hey i asked for that first

lesbianda : hey this is patty it’s cool linda can absolutely marry caitlin

snowflake : jhfkfjfj im so flattered

babybibibi : HELLO

snowflake : but i’ll have to decline considering i already have an absolutely amazing fiance

lesbianda : that’s valid okay - patty out

lesbianda : this should have been the part where my gf defends me by saying i am ALSO absolutely amazing tbh

transco : maybe she just didn’t want to advertise you to someone else after all

lesbianda : hmmm

spACEbar : we’re leaving now!!! Lena did not rent us a float to participate in the parade :/

spACEbar : but she did rent us a pavilion to watch from

lesbianda : oh nice i didn’t know that

oliverqueer : y’all need to inform us as to what was better

pipes : lena’s unnecessary hatred lured you into a competitive state?

oliverqueer : … no

oliverqueer : i just want to know what’s more fun so i can plan for next year

irisbest : we wouldn’t want to repeat the wheelchair disaster

captaincold : queen is totally up for a contest

bilance : definitely

oliverqueer : sometimes i truly wonder why i like you guys so much

spACEbar : we’ll send you pictures!!!

captaincold : probably, yeah

pipes : did you tell him about our moving plans

irisbest : nope, we figured eddie should have the honors

irisbest : he’s so good at untimely distributing information

detectiveprettybi : HEY

transco : “hey joe good news is that i will no longer be living with the sister of a dude you locked up, bad news is that i’ll be moving in with your son’s best friend who is also under-age”

bilance : sounds slightly fucked up when you say it like this

transco : hartley don’t panic at probably being wally’s best friend

pipes : … i wasn’t…………

oliverqueer : you were

pipes : how would you be able to tell you’re literally at felicity’s

detectiveprettybi : well if there’s one thing i have learnt it’s not to tell joe any half-truths

spACEbar : hang on !!!!

transco : you two go have fun and keep those pictures coming

lesbianda : [image attached]

lesbianda : here’s a pic of your favourite lesbians

bilance : wow, i love women

Notes:

- bar's make-up is eye shadow in the colours of the ace flag. like, the colours fading into each other, you know? i don't even know if that'd suit grant gustin for real but i dig the idea
- the gif eddie attached is the "both is good" one from road to el dorado
- picture linda as whatever your favourite hot lesbian look is
- bar's lesbians are: alex, maggie and kelly and also kelly's fiance who is still alive in this verse bc we already established maggie/alex and don't want kelly to be sad, ever
- "fuck assigned gender" squad are: nia, bar and brainy who is absolutely a funky demiguy
- patty and linda? absolutely fantastic dream couple that has never been seen before. truly, my shipping of people who have literally never met in canon never ceases to amaze me (2011!yas is so proud of me right now)

Chapter 53

Summary:

one pride month ends (the fictional one), while another starts (the real life one)

Notes:

this past week i have been involved in a minor car crash (no people harmed!), got my eye infected, could not stop picking my skin so now i have wounds all over my face, strained a muscle in my neck while picking at my skin, hurt my back while applying a plaster to my picked skin so badly that i couldn't walk for two days, learnt that half our inner city changed in the two months i spent self-isolated as well as i could, accidentally stole something without realizing AND made my cousin angry at me. but i will take all this negative karma because by some miracle our car passed its inspection and i think i'm the one compensating for it.

 

note that i wrote this chapter last week before any of the minneapolis situation happened, so a few points could seem quite insensitive atm, perhaps

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

babybibibi : i cannot believe…. that pride month is over….

babybibibi : i feel my life energy fleeting already

babybibibi : soon it’s back to my invisibility cloak

transco : i’ll cling to the feeling of being represented by staring at the 300 pictures that bar sent me

irisbest : you too huh

detectiveprettybi : please tell me they didn’t share all of those in the family chat

pipes : you know about the family chat?

detectiveprettybi : yeah joe asked me to explain a meme wally sent one time

irisbest : poor you

irisbest : even i only pretend to understand the dank memes my brother thinks are funny

babybibibi : maybe it’s a generational discrepancy

detectiveprettybi : millennials vs gen z fight!!!!

transco : i LOVE dank memes

babybibibi : case in point

bilance : wait i’m always confused when does gen z start

pipes : about 1996

pipes : if i remember correctly

transco : when it comes to numbers he always remembers correctly

irisbest : wait so I’M gen z???

detectiveprettybi : google says millennials end 1996 and gen z starts 1997

irisbest : oh thank god

bilance : but shouldn’t we all bend together to fight the old anyways

snowflake : nooooo old people are sweet

pipes : well not every old person of course

transco : only rich mean white cishet people who use it for their own profit

transco : which is the majority, really

babybibibi : there’s also egoistical queer people tho we shouldn’t give those a halo

transco : that’s like the times dante introduced me to gay people and was so confused i didn’t get along with them immediately

transco : Queer People Can Suck Too And Not Necessarily The Good Kind My Dear Brother

pipes : sebastian smythe has joined the chat

irisbest : who

pipes : where are linda and oliver they’d get me

bilance : well ollie is at the library

snowflake : linda, i assume, with patty

transco : why are y’all acting stupid we’ve all been bullied to meet sebastian smythe because it’s bar’s doppelgänger from glee

detectiveprettybi : ohhh yeah that dude was an elitist jackass

irisbest : oh HE i forgot his name

pipes : HOW he’s iconic

bilance : maybe he was back in the day but not anymore

babybibibi : culture has surpassed the need for glee

pipes : TAKE THAT BACK

transco : if ryan murphy proposed a glee continuation in this day and age would you watch it @ hart

pipes : without hesitation

bilance : what about a remake tho

pipes : hmmmm

irisbest : is everyone still a minority just because they’re in the glee club

lesbianda : what would the show be without its most iconic quote

transco : LINDA

snowflake : LINDA

irisbest : LINDA <3

bilance : LINDA! 

detectiveprettybi : LINDA

lesbianda : wow what a welcome

lesbianda : what’s up losers i’m out for some sweet sweet boba

transco : goals

bilance : we’re mourning the end of pride month

lesbianda : by discussing glee? Wonderful

babybibibi : we spiralled a lil

detectiveprettybi : once y’all are through with your exams we’ll just have our own pride month

transco : pride year

bilance : i like your style

lesbianda : eddie why are you online your lunch break has been over for a while

detectiveprettybi : you’re not the boss of me!!!!

detectiveprettybi : you’re not even here!!!

irisbest : … dad went to get a donut and never came back huh

snowflake : is he that much of a stereotype

bilance : my dad said you really learn to appreciate donuts when they’re the only sugar intake you have during your shifts

spACEbar : but what keeps them from eating anything else!!!!

spACEbar : in fact, donuts are horrible to eat in the car aren’t they???? powdered sugar everywhere,,,

snowflake : hello nia!!!

spACEbar : hello!!!!!!

transco : HOW could you possibly know that it's her

snowflake : i paid attention to our new friends yesterday

spACEbar : :3c

irisbest : so nia how did you like pride

spACEbar : it was so much fun!!!! brainy got me a kickball jersey of my favourite kickball team where the lettering is in trans colours!!!!!

pipes : what the fuck is kickball

transco : that’s so cool

babybibibi : do you guys really call him brainy

irisbest : i see we have our priorities in order

spACEbar : how can you not know kickball??????

pipes : first of all, i’m gay

pipes : second, i am a nerd

bilance : who else thought he’d say he’s a homeless deaf gay man 

lesbianda : me

snowflake : me

irisbest : me

babybibibi : me

transco : me

pipes : well

spACEbar : are you really homeless????

pipes : not for much longer

transco : he’s exaggerating he’s not only living in a house provided by oliver queen, he’s also on an apartment hunt TODAY

spACEbar : that’s amazing!!!!! Good luck!!!! 

spACEbar : and to answer the *NSYNC fan’s question…. It’s a reclaimed nickname bullies gave him so YES!!!! we call him brainy!!!!! because he’s AMAZING!!!!!! AND SMART!!!!! AND THOUGHTFUL!!!!

irisbest : so….

bilance : are you dating him

spACEbar : no???? Why would i???? 

spACEbar : PFFF i don’t even like him like that!!!

pipes : are you sure bc you sound like bar whenever snart is mentioned

transco : so bar is like that no matter who they’re with

snowflake : absolutely

irisbest : speaking of no offense nia but how come you have their phone

bilance : we’re really pushing the national city couples together without even being there huh

lesbianda : worked well enough with alex and maggie

babybibibi : OH so they DID start dating

lesbianda : yeah!!!!

spACEbar : [image attached]

spACEbar : it’s a thrilling contest!!!!

snowflake : oh god they’re gonna get sick

irisbest : you don’t know just how much food bar inhales on a regular day

transco : it’s not pretty

pipes : where’s miiiiiiiick

babybibibi : why

pipes : he’s taking shriek to the vet while we’re at the apartment

snowflake : shriek is sick? :0

pipes : no he just needs his tiny claws being shortened and we’re all scared to hurt him

bilance : he’s baby

transco : hey do you think we pushed nia into a crisis

babybibibi : let’s hope the nc gang is as good with dealing with crises as we are

lesbianda : nah they have them far less than we do

bilance : rip i guess

 

pipes : eddie for the past week: hartley our appointment is at 4:30 you need to make absolutely sure that you are on time i beg you please don’t be late

pipes : eddie at 4:45: crickets

irisbest : … you do know that their shift only ends at 5…….

pipes : IT DOES WHAT

babybibibi : omg

bilance : GOD eddie is so clever

captaincold : who would have thought

transco : maybe hartley and eddie aren’t such a bad mix after all

transco : i mean… eddie really is looking right through hart’s chaotic energy

spACEbar : are we finally starting an eddie thawne appreciation trend

captaincold : no never

bilance : i feel like an eddie thawne appreciation trend is long overdue

babybibibi : eddie would DIE for any of us

transco : eddie is one of five (5) cops who matter

pipes : HELLO eddie TRICKED me

irisbest : and he did it maginificently

pipes : i would not! Have been! Late! For such! An important! Appointment!

babybibibi : you know, he’s kind of got a point

transco : i have never seen hartley be on time once in my life

pipes : LIES

spACEbar : i agree

babybibibi : he’s never been late to class 

irisbest : excuse me ronnie we’re talking about important appointments here

bilance : that’s the spirit

pipes : i haven’t been late to mercury ever???

irisbest : anyone else feel like maybe hartley doesn’t actually wanna move out

irisbest : he would lose his brand as being homeless, after all

bilance : it would explain why he wasn’t more invested in the search too

bilance : or clearly discussing it with eddie, at least

pipes : excuse you i am HERE and looking very PRESENTABLE

pipes : plus i’ve had a roof over my head the whole time the only change will be that there will be less people to annoy the hell out of me

captaincold : oh so suddenly you haven’t been homeless after all

pipes : i--

pipes : oh fuck you guys

irisbest : snart get your ass over here sara and i need to high five you

spACEbar : oh what are you girls up to!

bilance : *roboto dance* cinema date

transco : what are you watching and why wasn’t i invited

bilance : we’re just out here appreciating the hell out of justice smith

babybibibi : as one should

transco : THE GET DOWN BROTHERS ARE DOWN TO HAVE FUN

bilance : the fact that they never let shaolin fantastic be his gay self

irisbest : throwback to that time bar and wally tried to sow themselves some sweet grandmaster flash jackets

spACEbar : they were so stylish!!

irisbest : yeah but your results weren’t

captaincold : please tell me those still exist

spACEbar : they don’t

babybibibi : liar liar pants on fire

irisbest : they really don’t, dad made them toss them away bc they were such a disaster

transco : damn joe

pipes : speaking of joe, i just??? Watched him pat eddie on the back??????

spACEbar : woah WHAT

irisbest : whomst

babybibibi : there can be miracleeeeeeeees if you beliiiiiieveeee

pipes : eddie even timed his arrival so well that i cant beat him up bc WE HAVE TO GO NOW

transco : you cannot!!!! Win!!!! A fist fight!!!!!

captaincold : pipes not to praise pretty bi but you really should not try to beat up someone who gets out of a boxing match with mick alive

spACEbar : i agree

pipes : >:(

bilance : go get that apartment

irisbest : !!!!!!

spACEbar : good luck!!!

transco : hartley be at your most charming!!!!!

babybibibi : eddie don’t hit on anyone!!!!

captaincold : good tip

babybibibi : thanks

Notes:

- ryan murphy did share with us recently how glee would look like if he made it nowadays and tbh i wanted to crawl into a hole as i read it
- bar and kara are having an eating contest. hot dogs. kara wins by a half.
- haha crisis
- my life is an eddie thawne appreciation in case you couldnt tell
- haha eddie would *die* for any of them... haha........ hahaha..... i'll go cry in a corner
- iris and sara are watching jurassic world 2. sara has never even seen any jurassic park but there's justice smith
- okay so when i spotted the grandmaster flash jackets on the get down i've wanted one bc it reads FLASH in bold letters. now bar and wally ripped them out of my hands. geddit. flash.
- joe pats eddie on the back bc he, too, appreciates the hell out of eddie for tricking hartley into being punctual

Chapter Text

spACEbar : i’ve been back in central for less than 24 hours and this is already on my plate

spACEbar : [image attached]

snowflake : oh no!

snowflake : what happened?

babybibibi : lmao did they fight

lesbianda : sometimes you two really are the embodiment of opposites attract huh

transco : every so often cait is xyr impulse control

transco : tested and documented by yours truly

irisbest : were you three those ot3 memes with only one responsible member

babybibibi : i plead the fifth

irisbest : lmao i think ot3s CANNOT have any other dynamic

irisbest : it’s the same for jesswallax

lesbianda : that is the ugliest effing shipname i have ever seen

irisbest : you come up with a better one

spACEbar : i love that you guys aren’t even concerned any more

snowflake : i am very concerned!!!

spACEbar : anyone wanna invest in a get-along shirt with me

transco : what even happened lmao

spACEbar : hang on

oliverqueer : do they…. need to ask….?

spACEbar : for permission to share, yeah

babybibibi : eye emoji

spACEbar : len had his job interview at the museum today and the curator was stuck in another appointment that ran long

spACEbar : so someone else was asked to show him around and

spACEbar : it was nate

bilance : don’t tell me snart didn’t know nate works at the museum

snowflake : wait, snart had his job interview????

spACEbar : well i suppose he knew nate works at /a/ museum

transco : nate has a job?

bilance : yes, it was a wonderful act of rebellion

pipes : oh yeah i remember how his parents wouldnt let him live his own life

babybibibi : what is wrong with rich ppl

pipes : well not to defend them but nate does have haemophilia

detectiveprettybi : i read that as ‘homophilia’ and was like same

irisbest : please get some glasses.

snowflake : so why did they get into a fight?? I’m confused

spACEbar : bc mick didn’t warn snart he’ll have to work with nate

spACEbar : and, put mildly, he’s quite annoyed by the guy in general

pipes : wait you used future tense there

transco : was that a confirmation??

babybibibi : omgggggg

spACEbar : hang on

oliverqueer : are they gonna keep doing this

lesbianda : like any of us have secrets here

irisbest : right haha

bilance : okay if we don’t: linda be honest how many time did you and patty have sex last weekend

lesbianda : would you believe me if i said i’m not sure

pipes : yes

detectiveprettybi : yeah, actually

captaincold : there’s really someone stupid enough to place me in the same room as prized possessions, yes

transco : wait

snowflake : YOU GOT THE JOB????

spACEbar : HE GOT THE JOB!!!!

bilance : wow, don’t sound too happy about that, snart

detectiveprettybi : i couldn’t imagine a genuinely happy snart

detectiveprettybi : content maybe, but happy?

spACEbar : yeah he’s just been moping about the curator’s stupidity on the way home

spACEbar : and, like, the nate thing

pipes : i cannot believe tbh

transco : [gif attached]

lesbianda : ah yes. I missed the dirk gently content

irisbest : snart you are literally the only asshole i know who’d be grumpy about getting a job

babybibibi : joe will be so proud

spACEbar : yeah he was

oliverqueer : damn you told him already?

detectiveprettybi : wait, you were at the precinct?

detectiveprettybi : when?????

lesbianda : eddie. I am so disappointed.

lesbianda : you are literally at the SOURCE of gossip

captaincold : who says we didn’t wait until you vanished

detectiveprettybi : you did not seriously time your dropping in with me searching through the evidence chamber

spACEbar : it was pure coincidence

captaincold : that’s what you think

heatwave : stop pretendin 2 be smug

heatwave : everyon just learned u dont kno shit

snowflake : stop fighting!!!

spACEbar : they’re just glaring at each other over their phones

captaincold : stop laughing

oliverqueer : anyway, congratulations, snart

transco : yeah!!!!

babybibibi : other good news to be shared?

babybibibi : [squints at eddie & hart]

pipes : the owner said she’d tell us later this week

detectiveprettybi : yeah but she said it looks good!!!!

pipes : tf when????

bilance : hartley don’t tell me you didn’t pay attention

pipes : okay listen idk who randomly decided to paint me as the most chaotic being alive but it’s getting boring

lesbianda : maybe your hearings aids malfunctioned in that very moment

irisbest : talk about coincidence

lesbianda : hey, stranger things have happened 

babybibibi : can you believe that stranger things season 3 won’t happen for another year

lesbianda : like my bike tire randomly exploding, that was weird as hell

oliverqueer : i still refuse to believe that happened

detectiveprettybi : nah hart doesn’t know about it, i texted with bette last night

spACEbar : don’t sleep your way into an apartment eddie

detectiveprettybi : i’m not!!! I’m just having friendly chats!!!

snowflake : right, you have never had any ulterior motives ever before

captaincold : well, if even snow calls you out

detectiveprettybi : the rudeness of it all,,,

pipes : yeahhhh but anyways things look good!

bilance : i have passed the need to be pissed at you two

bilance : now i can barely wait until you LEAVE

oliverqueer : yeah we’ve been waiting for this for what feels like a year

transco : same with snart’s job, though, i cannot believe that’s happening

transco : they grow up so fast :’)

captaincold : watch it

snowflake : what exactly will you be doing at the museum, snart?

captaincold : tours, mostly

oliverqueer : oh that’s good isn’t it?? Will be less tempting

captaincold : you underestimate my skills, queen

detectiveprettybi : la la la la i cannot hear youuuuu

bilance : well you did catch hunter’s attention while mansplaining art to me

lesbianda : preeeetty sure that doesn’t count as mansplaining

heatwave : linda would know

lesbianda : damn right i would

irisbest : ugh now dad will sing hymns about snart at dinner tonight

babybibibi : seems pretty out of character for him

spACEbar : with how wild our lives are i doubt there’s any such things as “in character” for any of us

transco : maybe we’re living in an AU

bilance : we really can’t deal with news like normal people can we

Notes:

THIS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HATE CHATFICS BC "THEY'RE ALAYS SO OUT OF CHARACTER": maybe so??? isn't.... every au out of character.... based on the fact that they're ripped out of their original content..... why do you guys hate fun....

Chapter 55

Chapter Text

bilance : OH MY GOD I FUCKING HATE OLIVER JONAS QUEEN

captaincold : we been knew

irisbest : hey!

bilance : no for real i am about to skin him alive

pipes : fucking mood

transco : finally we’re finding out why oliver is gonna die so soon

babybibibi : yeah but why

lesbianda : is this paper related

spACEbar : it feels paper related

bilance : of course it’s fucking paper related

bilance : he’s stressing around and just. Being a bitch

snowflake : oh no! :(

pipes : it’s freaking annoying

captaincold : why don’t you just take out your hearing aids

captaincold : you have an advantage here, pipes

pipes : that doesn’t erase the face he pulls

transco : oh oliver’s vibes are off, got it

snowflake : :(((

spACEbar : hey it’s only for a few more weeks

lesbianda : pretty sure that’s the problem

captaincold : tbh it’s weird that he’s already stressing now

irisbest : i hate to agree with snart but yeah i always thought bachelor papers are something to panic about at the last minute

babybibibi : from what i’ve seen, yeah

bilance : well, i mean.

bilance : if everyone you know doesnt think you can do your own thing but that you solely rely on your parents no matter what you actually do and now this is something that nobody can help you with unless they wanna do something illegal, then i suppose you don’t wanna screw up and panic even more

transco : gasp

spACEbar : :0

snowflake : wow

lesbianda : damn sara was that compassion for oliver

irisbest : the plottwist of this text not containing any hate

bilance : oh trust me laurel already hid every knife that we have

pipes : she really did

spACEbar : i suppose i can see why oliver’s stressing tho

irisbest : sorry i am still not over sara being so… nice about ollie

bilance : i have known that dude since i was 12 i think i can know a little about him

heatwave : u also dated him

bilance : RIGHT

babybibibi : did you just forget you dated oliver queen

bilance : we dated for 3 months, that’s nothing compared to the lifelong suffering i had with knowing him in general

transco : i feel like you’re actually soft for him

bilance : pfff no im not

spACEbar : i agree with cisco

bilance : i’m  n o t

snowflake : i sense softness

lesbianda : well, if even cait feels it

bilance : I DO NOT CARE ABOUT OLIVER

captaincold : sure don’t

bilance : if i had to choose between destroying the universe and killing oliver, i’d choose oliver’s death

heatwave : well fuckin yea?

babybibibi : you can sacrifice one person to save a bunch

transco : don’t forget the plants and shit

pipes : “plants and shit” - francisco paco ramon, STEM student

transco : well excUse mE

spACEbar : wow i could actually read that in your voice

captaincold : sara has a point, humanity as a whole sucks

captaincold : so queen and that are on the same level

snowflake : hey! Be nice!

lesbianda : cait is braver than us marine

babybibibi : damn gay she is

spACEbar : shouldn’t it say straight in caitlin’s case :/

babybibibi : let me have this, bar

spACEbar : okay

lesbianda : anyway, i’m not even writing any big papers yet and i already feel oliver

lesbianda : this semester has been going on for too long

irisbest : we did have some adventurous months

spACEbar : let’s hope the holidays are calmer

transco : [nervously eyes this group] [laughs hysterically]

babybibibi : point taken

bilance : oliver just snarled at dig

bilance : i’m. Someone WILL die here

captaincold : you haven’t lived until you die

irisbest : somehow that makes sense

irisbest : still fucks me up

lesbianda : guys, we’re not talking about death again

bilance : well you don’t have to fucking witness it

snowflake : how far is he with the paper?

bilance : fuck if i knew, you can’t get more than a hum out of the guy

spACEbar : that’s mick on his best days

lesbianda : great, i can deal with that!

lesbianda : im supposed to help him with something and i’d rather not die tbh

babybibibi : now look who’s talking about death

bilance : not to dunk on mick but oliver seems more murderous

irisbest : rip linda

heatwave : hey

lesbianda : mick you should come with me so we can test who’s more likely to kill someone

transco : you just want mick to be your bodyguard

lesbianda : maybe so

heatwave : aight

lesbianda : mick you are the only valid man in my life

transco : this is transphobia

lesbianda : oh my god that’s not how i meant it i am so sorry cisco

transco : dhfjfjfkd that’s not how i meant it either dw

spACEbar : well those were two very intense seconds!

bilance : less lethal than entering the kitchen

irisbest : why isn’t he working in his own room

bilance : he needs access to tommy for data and tommy won’t leave the couch

transco : makes absolute sense

lesbianda : yeah tommy really loves the couch

captaincold : i see it, at merlyn’s funeral one of you will mention the couch in your speech

bilance : probably, yeah

snowflake : mick - before you take up work as a bodyguard, how is your cheekbone?

babybibibi : it’s nice to know that snart throws such a hard punch

heatwave : bitch was wearing his ring

transco : it’s a sexy ring

spACEbar : ^

irisbest : you’re obligated to say that

spACEbar : doesn’t make it any less true

bilance : OH HOLY SHIT SOMEONE MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE NO

bilance : SOMEONE MADE A NOISE AND NOW OLIVER IS ZOOMING

bilance : BRB

lesbianda : oh damn rip :/

snowflake : oh no!

heatwave : oh yes

transco : okay bets in who do we think called oliver’s wrath upon themself

captaincold : pipes

spACEbar : hartley

babybibibi : hart

snowflake : hartley

irisbest : hartley 100%

heatwave : pipes

lesbianda : yeah i’m pretty sure it’s been hartley

transco : damn i was gonna say lisa

transco : sike nope i know my boyfriend and his wrongly estimating how loud he is when he’s taken out his aids

heatwave : kinky

oliverqueer : THEY DID IT

captaincold : who did what queen

oliverqueer : HART AND EDDIE

spACEbar : WAIT

lesbianda : ??????????

oliverqueer : THEY GOT THE APARTMENT

lesbianda : !!!!!!!!!!!!

snowflake : OH WHAT

babybibibi : FINALLY

bilance : we told you, it became annoying

snowflake : i wanna celebrate too :(((

snowflake : this is such a huge step!!

lesbianda : yeah!

spACEbar : if i ever move out i’d invite all of you to stay forever

irisbest : really like the “if” here

oliverqueer : CELBRATING IS POSTPONED until eddie is home from work so feel free to come over or grab your favourite beverage and join us in a videochat

babybibibi : yikes i hate videochats

bilance : just hope you’ll never live in a time where you’re dependent on them

spACEbar : i like videochats more than normal calls

babybibibi : nah man normal calls give me the opportunity to rock my bed hair, wear a face mask and whatevs

lesbianda : if i ever videochat you feel free to look as bad as you could possibly want

babybibibi : <3 the support i need

transco : can’t wait to fuck you as loudly as i want while eddie is at work

irisbest : ……. wrong chat

irisbest : i hope

bilance : CISCO

spACEbar : fjkjgkgkg

transco : yeah that was the wrong chat YIKES

transco : but it’s not like y’all wouldn’t think about the changes in my sex life anyways

captaincold : it would have probably come up, yes

spACEbar : i’d rather have pretended that it didn’t

transco : sorry bar

pipes : YES YOU CAN

pipes : HOMELESS POOR DEAF GAY GUY NO MORE I AM NOW SIMPLY POOR DEAF GAY GUY 

lesbianda : hell yeah!

detectiveprettybi : you guys explicitly invited me!

spACEbar : and we’d do it again

detectiveprettybi : aww

snowflake : are you coming today eddie

detectiveprettybi : hopefully yeah

irisbest : she said ‘coming’ not ‘cumming’

detectiveprettybi : ah well

detectiveprettybi : same answer really, i’m at ikea

pipes : you’re really going through with this

lesbianda : with what

detectiveprettybi : i’ve never not had a KRABB, hartley, and i won’t start at the age of 24

snowflake : a what

pipes : that mirror that looks like a wave

irisbest : oh the one EVERYONE had in their teenage room?

irisbest : the one people leave behind as they grow up, especially when they’re 24 and don’t need to take old furniture with them bc they’re not drowning in student loan debt like other people

irisbest : that mirror?

detectiveprettybi : what did my mirror ever do to you

lesbianda : eddie is that a coping mechanism for entering yet another new chapter in your life

snowflake : not gonna lie i’d have thought hartley would be the angsty one

pipes : jokes on you i danced my anxiety away in a mindblowing DDR championship with wally, bar and jax

lesbianda : who won

spACEbar : jax and wally are two cool black dudes do you think we had a chance

irisbest : speaking of i am a beautiful black lady eddie your mirror is literally an offense to me wanting to stare at my ass and boobs at the same time

lesbianda : those are some nice ass and boobs

irisbest : thanks i know

irisbest : like??? I thought that mirror was a relict from your youth eddie and not something you bought bc you wanted it in a year after 2010

detectiveprettybi : hey

bilance : oh god eddie pls tell me that wasnt the only mirror you owned in your whole flat

detectiveprettybi : it’s a surface you can see yourself in, it does what it’s supposed to do

lesbianda : iris girl how did you sleep with him more than once

irisbest : thank god for front cameras

detectiveprettybi : [image attached]

snowflake : no! That brings bad luck!

pipes : caitlin i am a scientist do you think i believe in such a thing

lesbianda : isn’t cait theoretically a scientist too

spACEbar : honestly who knows

bilance : tbh we have too many science ppl here

irisbest : call me skilled, i persuaded eddie to grab me a coffee

detectiveprettybi : and a donut

babybibibi : well, you see, unfortunately cisco is an idiot

captaincold : yeah, and?

lesbianda : what no cisco isn’t!

transco : in my defense this semester has been crazy okay

transco : like the only way it could have gotten more chaotic would have been if a pandemic broke loose and there’d been riots all over the state

irisbest : don’t say such things or else bar is gonna have nightmares

snowflake : cisco what did you do

transco : nothing!!!!

babybibibi : which is precisely the problem

babybibibi : w#OAG HE JUST SHOVED ME

captaincold : i swear, someone is gonna taste my fist today

babybibibi : cisco didn’t hand in some of the papers wells requests

babybibibi : well, more like almost all of them

pipes : … the weekly ones.

pipes : the ones you literally CANNOT forget bc wells reminds you of them every time

pipes : and because, well, they’re due EVERY WEEK

pipes : the ones *I* have reminded cisco of so often

transco : okay maybe i AM a little dumb

irisbest : sounds like a lot actually

bilance : ^

captaincold : they sure wish he did them

transco : rt

pipes : rt 

babybibibi : apparently I cannot be trusted to me objective about my friends

irisbest : well to be fair you also dated one of them,

bilance : well rip cisco i guess

snowflake : do you have to do that on top of your usual exams? 

pipes : no cait we don’t have exams because we usually have to do the weekly papers

irisbest : wow i sure wish that were me

lesbianda : ^

oliverqueer : damn i leave for an hour and suddenly CISCO is he chaotic part of the relationship?

captaincold : finally he fits to the vibes he gives off

transco : HEY

oliverqueer : oh hey snart when are you heading here bc there’s some people waiting for you

captaincold : tf what people

oliverqueer : idk. They look grumpy

oliverqueer : the girls wearing something akin to 50s fashion

oliverqueer : dude reminds me too much of tommy’s dad to be comfortable to be around to

lesbianda : eye emoji

irisbest : eye emoji

captaincold : yeah give me ten

detectiveprettybi : i don’t know if the fact that all my fav customer service workers are dudes means im sexist or just gay

pipes : gay or european starts playing in the bg

detectiveprettybi : yes

irisbest : who is fedora dude

transco : a totally average looking barista at jitters who wears a fedora ALL the time

transco : and inexplicably eddie has the hots for him

babybibibi : eddie has the hots for everyone

bilance : true

irisbest : can’t wait to meet him when i work there

detectiveprettybi : well when YOU work there it’s clear who my fav barista is

lesbianda : truly an act of feminism

transco : stop trying to get back in her pants

detectiveprettybi : like i want joe to kill me

snowflake : i still can’t believe it’s the last meeting of the semester

bilance : don’t worry, we’ll just host some at the quiver

snowflake : YES PLEASE

spACEbar : GUESS WHO JUST BEAT HUNTER ZOLOMON

pipes : i’m guessing you did

spACEbar : I DID

babybibibi : well other than her and her boyfriend(?) there’s only julian and ava here

bilance : who the hell is rosa

irisbest : ^

transco : if you’re lucky you’ll meet her

transco : we don’t know much either, she’s an enigma

lesbianda : let’s just say she’d be a member of the group if she liked people

bilance : ah, so like zari used to be

spACEbar : basically

snowflake : OKAY I AM ON MY WAY!!! :D

detectiveprettybi : yeah i’ll be there in a bit too

irisbest : oh it’s coffee time

spACEbar : see you in a bit!!!

bilance : don’t you still have training

spACEbar : yes but the sentiment stays

pipes : mood

Notes:

- in case you don't know what mirror we're referring to, it's this one. but only ONE.
- fedora dude is emerson fairweather aka allegra's ex in canon bc i don't have many random characters left to drop somewhere here
- the image sara posts is the "you're doing amazing sweetie" meme

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

spACEbar : STRESS IS HERE

babybibibi : so on point that you are the one who’s saying that

pipes : oh it’s finals week? Gee i had no idea

lesbianda : callout post for whoever chose my birthday for putting it in finals week

babybibibi : are you calling out god?

lesbianda : actually? Yes. she can catch these hands

transco : don’t challenge god to a fist fight linda

lesbianda : why not

bilance : actually, i have a ranking of which gods to fight and the christian one is pretty high on the list of those you could easily win against

spACEbar : which one is high up that i wouldn’t win against

irisbest : oh i want to fight zeus

pipes : zeus has to be like top 5 

lesbianda : LET’S FIGHT ZEUS

bilance : fun fact bar the first god i always think of in relation to you is savitr

transco : do you… associate us all with gods

bilance : no, not all of you

spACEbar : i am scared to ask but who is savitr

spACEbar : and how do you pronounce it

bilance : kind of like savi-tree and whoever the hell pronounces it differently, much less train a whole generation of comic fans to do it wrongly, can go to hell

pipes : that was weirdly specific but alright

babybibibi : by now that explanation of this savitr guy feels like a plot device that was kept secret for way too long and everyone already figured it out before the showrunners reveal it and it’s the most annoying thing ever

transco : oh you mean like when an obvious reveal happens in like the second to last episode of a season and they have too little time to really explain it so they gloss over it

bilance : DON’T COMPARE ME TO BAD SHOWRUNNERS I AM TYPING YOU ASSHOLES

bilance : disclaimer is that there’s not just ONE hindu religion but multiple different ones and western ppl like to forget about it

spACEbar : wow i almost guessed it’s hindu

bilance : so sometimes he’s associated with the sun and like… bar is a sunshine

lesbianda : yeah, checks out

bilance : also like… movement is his thing and bar is a track runner so HAH and sometimes he’s said to protect all people and things in general and isn’t that the sweetest thing you ever heard

spACEbar : i feel like im being complimented rn

spACEbar : <333

irisbest : oh that fits 

transco : is he a god who’ll do a 180 when you’re mean to him like apollo

bilance : probably,

pipes : nobody insult apollo we don’t want a plague on our hands

lesbianda : i don’t wanna fight apollo i’ll go back to fighting the christian god

babybibibi : i thought the christian, jewish and muslim god were the same

bilance : yeah but they depict Him differently

transco : yeah the old testament God is quite malevolent, meanwhile new testament God is a softie

spACEbar : can we drop the god talk i feel like i’ll be smote any minute

transco : nice moana reference

spACEbar : thanks

irisbest : cisco how is your paper writing going

transco : ugh

pipes : yes please give him a stern talking to

babybibibi : he’s really Like That huh

detectiveprettybi : cisco stop procrastinating!!!

irisbest : i feel like that line should have gone to caitlin

babybibibi : yes but she’s stressed about her own 20 exams

spACEbar : 20????

babybibibi : i’m exaggerating a tiny bit but let’s just say if i die this week one of you needs to give cait an alibi

captaincold : you want them to give her an alibi after she killed you.

babybibibi : yes because i love caitlin and know it’ll only be a bad reaction on her part and she’ll never be happy again if i died

irisbest : okay that is sweet but also sad

babybibibi : that’s true love

pipes : don’t just talk to cisco about his procrastination but his writing process too

bilance : … do i wanna ask

babybibibi : oh. 

babybibibi : oh no

spACEbar : … what is cisco’s writing process

transco : I wont clean this apartment until im done with this paper

lesbianda : bc you’re so focused on it???

pipes :I haven’t been over in days bc it’s. yikes

transco : nah im procrastinating plenty by staring at walls

transco : the mess vibes with my mental state tho

irisbest : wait what level of yikes are we speaking

detectiveprettybi : you… know different levels of yikes…

irisbest : well there’s ‘bar hasn’t left their bed in days bc depression and lets plates with food stand around until someone collects them’ yikes and then there’s ‘dad forgot uncooked meat in the microwave before we went to visit grandma esther for a weekend and now the kitchen smells very bad and is full of flies’ yikes

bilance : … yikes?

irisbest : yeah.

babybibibi : my experience says it’s more like the former

pipes : maybe without the food

bilance : you mean cisco cleans after cooking?

transco : bold of you to assume I cook

babybibibi : during finals week cisco lives off ramen

lesbianda : bad Latino

irisbest : ur comfort food is pizza

lesbianda : excuse you pizza exists on a whole different scale and has no nationality 

spACEbar : pizza is the best wonder of the world

bilance : World Heritage Site

babybibibi : i love pizza

pipes : we know

transco : we know

irisbest : we know

lesbianda : we know

spACEbar : we know

detectiveprettybi : we know

bilance : we know

babybibibi : wow, i feel seen

lesbianda : okay role call who has which exams when

transco : that’s a confusing sentence

spACEbar : hella

irisbest : i have one exam tomorrow and another on your birthday, isn’t that cruel

lesbianda : not as cruel as me having ONE oral (ORAL) exam on my OWN BIRTHDAY

detectiveprettybi : heh oral

captaincold : thank you for that important attribution

lesbianda : and then a paper and a project again, ugh

irisbest : i have to write a paper too :/

babybibibi : i have a paper and other papers to correct

transco : paper of doom

transco : and asl “oral” exam

bilance : let me guess, you have to have a convo in asl

pipes : basically

lesbianda : well that can’t be too difficult for you can it

babybibibi : i don’t even know what exam cait writes but she’s been studying non-stop since wednesday

irisbest : we need to give cait a spa day

lesbianda : spa week

bilance : she deserves it

bilance : i have two exams and i hate it here

spACEbar : i have one

captaincold : same

captaincold : and a 20 page analysis to write

detectiveprettybi : a WHAT

captaincold : some of us have to display our brain, thawne

detectiveprettybi : aw, you mean mine is so obvious i don’t need to prove it? Thanks!

spACEbar : can you guys be nice

heatwave : gotta write a paper 2

lesbianda : mick!!! we can have writing sessions

irisbest : wow, to him you offer it

lesbianda : i thought it was obvious for you

irisbest : <3

spACEbar : when does ollie have to hand his paper in

bilance : 31st

captaincold : how much is he shitting himself

pipes : what do you think

irisbest : eddie, hartley, when do you guys move

detectiveprettybi : we’re packing things throughout the week and on the weekend tommy and dig are helping us move it

lesbianda : wait. You’re in your new apartment in a week?

pipes : that’s the plan

transco : yeah they kind of sprung that on me too

bilance : yeah who are you telling dude they dropped it on us during breakfast two days ago

spACEbar : jesus

detectiveprettybi : listen, being n adult is hard

detectiveprettybi : so many things to consider

captaincold : you are 24.

detectiveprettybi : don’t act like 24 is old. I can still be very much overwhelmed by my life

irisbest : valid

babybibibi : and hart is practically an infant!

pipes : hey

lesbianda : yeah stop saying 24 is old i am turning 24 this week

transco : with how many things are happening this week we can be glad if anyone SURVIVES

spACEbar : any last words before we’re dying

babybibibi : snart i always thought your sister kind of reminded me of my ex

bilance : what

babybibibi : i wanted to get this off my chest!

captaincold : the fuck

heatwave : tiny and lisa look nothing alike

irisbest : you know i thought bar’s joke would be the end of this chapter (of our lives, ofc) but now we gotta go on

babybibibi : … mick. I’ve dated someone before cisco

heatwave : yes snow

babybibibi : i’ve been dating before i met caitlin, too

detectiveprettybi : sounds fake

spACEbar : yeah i thought like you two were first love last love

spACEbar : now i’m sad

transco : wait is that that cara you mentioned

babybibibi : yeah

lesbianda : i am flabbergasted

lesbianda : bamboozled, even

pipes : great ronnie, you pushed the group into an existential crisis right before finals week i hope you are proud

babybibibi : I DIDN’T DO SHIT

irisbest : you did a bit

detectiveprettybi : it’s weird to picture you not completely enamoured with cait

babybibibi : then stop picturing it bc it’s irrelevant!!!

captaincold : i kind of want to revisit the fact that apparently my baby sister is your type

babybibibi : nope i’m too scared of you for this

heatwave : good

Notes:

- i've been meaning to call out dc for naming a villain after a pretty sweet god for so long, you have no idea. then again, though, Savitṛ's personality does fit to the gcau's bar, so here i am using it for MY things. screw you!
- also fun fact: when they dropped the brahmastra storyline in flash i was in my 2nd seemester of sanskrit so when we could choose our topic for the big Translation Paper at the end of the class i asked my teacher if i could have something about that and she was like "i have never in my life heard about the brahmastra" and i was like wtf???? anyway fast forward to last semester where i read the two big indian epics and it's was MENTIONED IN BOTH OF THEM. OPHIRA YOU LIAR IT WAS RIGHT THERE AND INSTEAD YOU GAVE ME A PASSAGE ABOUT A KICKASS GODDESS WHO DEFEATS ARROWS INSTEAD?
- given our current real life situation i think we should sacrifice at least one big nation world leader to apollo and see if it fixes anything. if not, we have plenty more to try
- the moana reference is maui wondering what the adjective to 'smite' is
- tag urself i'm cisco letting his apartment waste away as he writes a paper
- pizza is, in fact, a world heritage site! who would have thought
- in case you didn't know, robbie amell (ronnie's actor) and peyton list (lisa's actress) HAVE been in a show together where they played... love interests - really, it's been more an annoying love triangle that could have been solved by some sweet polyamory - and to this day i am angry that the world DECIDED TO CANCEL THE TOMORROW PEOPLE AFTER THE FIRST SEASON ENDED IN SUCH A CLIFFHANGER. IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS AND I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY

 

and now, announcements:
1) i'd like to remind everyone that even though this fic only has two more chapters listed, it's not the end of the gcau. i'll write one more part about the semester break and then it will have been a whole year for the crew (and for us, presumably, 5 or whatever)
2) next week's update will probably be a bit late! i'm visiting my brother whom i haven't seen since christmas for the weekend and breathe some sweet north sea air for the first time since we moves away from there 14 years ago, so you'll have to excuse if we only cover linda's birthday on monday

Chapter 58

Summary:

linda gets a special surprise for her birthday

Notes:

surprise!!! turns out i was an idiot and my trip ended last evening already so here i am, providing the content

i also posted a new interlude a few days ago, you can find it here

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

detectiveprettybi : my dearest miss park, i am sorry to start your birthday like this - and how the hell am i the first person to congratulate you at 08:57am - but i will have to steal your adopted kid

pipes : technically you still didn’t congratulate her

irisbest : some people text privately, eddie

detectiveprettybi : still i think it’s weird that nobody said it in HERE

detectiveprettybi : it’s like someone knew my text wouldn#t fit into the conversation later on and had me start of the day like this

spACEbar : … you’re weirder than usually eddie

irisbest : did you binge too much riverdale again

detectiveprettybi : NO

detectiveprettybi : i’m just telling you i ran into ralph at jitters so we chatted and now i want to adopt him

transco : damn eddie bar trusted you

spACEbar : BETRAYAL

spACEbar : MY ARCH ENEMY

babybibibi : i thought that hunter guy was your arch enemy

pipes : i had my money on julian

irisbest : i thought their arch enemy is somewhere in the future ngl

irisbest : that they’ll meet that person in the future ofc, we don’t agree with the idea of time travel in this family

transco : in this chat, even

spACEbar : you are the only people i trust

spACEbar : unlike SOMEONE

detectiveprettybi : listen i can explain!!!!!

detectiveprettybi : as a former fat guy who was bullied into hating himself and then lost weight in a way that wasnt healthy at first i NEED to show support to someone who’ll turn someone’s hate into an inspiring speech before even having his first coffee

captaincold : there’s so much to unpack here

babybibibi : well sorry bar but it seems like we’re gonna found a ralph dibny protection squad

spACEbar : >:/

irisbest : oh damn eddie babe i didn’t know it was like that :(

detectiveprettybi : i’m fine but thanks <3

bilance : you’re super fiiiine

bilance : also imagine being such an asshole you make fun of someone for their weight

babybibibi : yeah like??? Being heavy doesnt always mean youre unhealthy? Sometimes it’s really just genetics?

detectiveprettybi : you can say fat, it’s okay

lesbianda : YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STEAL MY KID EDWARD THEODORE THAWNE

lesbianda : ON MY BIRTHDAY NO LESS

lesbianda : I ALREADY HAD ZARI CHANGE HIS NAME IN SCHOOL DATA TO RALPH PARK

irisbest : no you didn’t

lesbianda : i did not but now that i have the idea….

oliverqueer : please don’t adopt people against their will, linda

lesbianda : you are not the boss of me!

pipes : technically….

lesbianda : well technically eddie still didn’t wish me a happy birthday

detectiveprettybi : happy birthday linda, our favourite curious person™ and welcome in the club of 24 year olds

bilance : the best club!!!!

snowflake : that’s us!

detectiveprettybi : you will be added to the cool groupchat soon

transco : wait you guys have a groupchat

snowflake : ofc!!!

bilance : i think ollie, mick and snart have one about being old too

oliverqueer : i’m not old!!!!!

detectiveprettybi : uh i can’t hear you there’s a wall separating us youngsters from the people older than 25

captaincold : you know that life expectancy is at, like, 80 right

captaincold : none of us are even halfway through

transco : if any person older than 25 ever gets ahold of these chatlogs here i just want to say that you guys are very valid and it’s okay if you haven’t figured life out yet, life isn’t a race and we all have different paces

spACEbar : not to mention that people come from different backgrounds too so not everyone can be as fast as everyone else and that’s really okay

irisbest : switching directions is also totally fine! You can always redefine yourself!

babybibibi : everyone is just trying their best and that’s what’s so wonderful, we’re all different and so are our lives

heatwave : y’all are annoying

lesbianda : damn we’re really inspiring for my birthday huh

lesbianda : i love it

pipes : did you have your exam yet

oliverqueer : no she didn’t

oliverqueer : i know that because i will escort her to big belly’s afterwards

lesbianda : YOU WILL???

oliverqueer : yes, you deserve it

captaincold : you are a billionaire and your idea of a treat is big belly’s.

lesbianda : damn i was gonna invite y’all over before i drop off the surface of the earth in the next two days but i guess if i’m at BIG BELLY’S living off oliver jonas queen’s money, i won’t have time for you mere mortals

babybibibi : totally understandable

oliverqueer : her comfort food is big belly’s!!!!

irisbest : and here i was, wanting to return the favor and spend the rest of the day at your apartment

lesbianda : oh you totally can, i just won’t be there apparently

oliverqueer : or… iris could come with

lesbianda : SHE CAN?

irisbest : I CAN???

oliverqueer : guys, i am a billionaire, i can pay for everyone whom linda invites

pipes : ugh your correct grammar is so sexy

babybibibi : cait is only free in the evening and even then i’ll have to make her drop studying

babybibibi : so just tell us where the party is at

spACEbar : wait linda what do you mean ‘drop off the surface of earth’

lesbianda : that’s one secret i’ll never tell xoxo gossip girl

bilance : are you gonna vacate at your actual family’s place for once

lesbianda : the caucAsity

transco : i’ll be real i kind of forgot linda had a family

lesbianda : HEY i visit my parents every two weeks!

captaincold : do you

lesbianda : yes

lesbianda : mick has met them!

irisbest : mick has???

irisbest : the disrespect

detectiveprettybi : linda drop some more park family content

spACEbar : please do

lesbianda : oh there’s nothing special, we’re just your typical asian-american family, you know

lesbianda : tho one thing is v funny

lesbianda : when my mum got pregnant w me i was too small for the doc to see

lesbianda : i’m baby

transco : u literally were

babybibibi : the nurses were busy the day i was born and kept forgetting to put those wristbands with your name onto the babies

lesbianda : WRONG i was a FETUS

babybibibi : so my mum had to decide between three babies in the end and guess who was me

detectiveprettybi : how did she decide

babybibibi : went with the prettiest

captaincold : she must be so disappointed by her judgement now

transco : HEY

irisbest : holy fuck ronnie that is so wild

bilance : how don’t we know how wild your lfie is

bilance : gotta say i feel like we never really focused on ronnie here

irisbest : yes spill the tea

transco : hey now it’s linda’s birthday we should focus on her

lesbianda : ARE YOU KIDDING

lesbianda : getting to know shit about ppl is the BEST present i could ever get!

spACEbar : you know, she’s got a point

oliverqueer : yeah that’s a very linda thing

lesbianda : spill some shit before my exam starts!!!

babybibibi : wtf im not that interesting

transco : pfff dont sell yourself short

transco : the amount of times you told me you got out of situation that could have been dangerous just by saying “no thank you!!!”

irisbest : … what

babybibibi : there was a time i was on a walk and discovered a cave and i was thinking about checking it out but the vibes weren’t right and i left

babybibibi : few days later they discovered it was a hide out of a murderer

spACEbar : WHAT

pipes : tell them about the ghost pizzeria

bilance : what

babybibibi : yeah i was at a pizzeria trying to order a good one and everyone just ignored me? This one woman almost ran into my, like she didn’t acknowledge me At All

babybibibi : i’m sure that one time i was chased by a horde of boars when i was smaller but my mom assured me it was a dream

transco : i suddenly feel like we should have postponed this until after her exam

irisbest : HOW DID WE NOT KNOW YOU HAVE EPILEPSY?????????

oliverqueer : holy shit yeah

bilance : shouldn’t we have known this to look out for you oh fuck

babybibibi : it’s fine!!!! 

babybibibi : i haven’t had a seizure in ages and i know how to spot when one comes up!!!!

babybibibi : really everything under control don’t worry i just don’t announce it everywhere

lesbianda : my whole life just passed me by

lesbianda : RONALD BILIUS RAYMOND HOW COULD YOU KEEP THIS FROM US

lesbianda : FUCK I feel like i need to make an assessment of EVERYONE now

transco : ronnie i hope you are aware they’re gonna wanna hear all your stories now

detectiveprettybi : i genuinely cannot wait for big belly’s

bilance : linda will explode in ronnie’s face

babybibibi : i didn’t do anything!!!

captaincold : exactly

heatwave : & on her bday

irisbest : basically you’re cruel

oliverqueer : and dead

babybibibi : fuck

Notes:

- when i brought in ralph into this fic it as solely to give the CW a massive FUCK YOU for their fatphobia when he first discovered his powers. i did not forget the jokes about his body and i won't forgive them lol
- BEING FAT IS OKAY
- shoutout to everyone older than 25 you guys are doing amazing
- contrary to popular belief linda does have a family
- some things i stole from my own life in this: fetus!linda being too smal for the doc to see her, ronnie maybe being switched at birth (my mum claims she picked me at random based on who the smallest kid was but i'm fairly sure she's just being dramatic and extra when she tells the story and in reality asked a nurse about it), the wild boar thing and the question about whether it happened or not
- i've had the idea of ronnie having epilepsy for a while. i wanted something that's slightly similar to the fits stein had in canon when he didn't have a firestorm partner and it seemed fitting. apparently marijuana can really help with seizures, but you should always ask your doctor about it!

lesbianda : bitch what island

bilance : lmao the one for stereotypical billionaires

oliverqueer : my dad bought this island before he died which is deep in the random as fuck chinese sea

oliverqueer : it doesn’t even have a proper name and we got so fed up by always having to search in all his things for the coordinates that i got them tattooed

pipes : SO THAT’S WHAT IT IS

transco : where

irisbest : yeah where

oliverqueer : ;)

bilance : lower abdomen

oliverqueer : SARA

captaincold : let me get this in line

transco : FUCK

pipes : i love how you dodged the “straight” in that sentence

captaincold : your family owns a private island that’s so private you can’t remember its location

captaincold : so you got the coordinates tattooed

captaincold : and chose one of the best hidden places?

bilance : he’s a walking thirst trap

irisbest : he really is

detectiveprettybi : rip us all

transco : oliver do you happen to have any other hidden tattoos

captaincold : yeah like on your ass cheek for example

oliverqueer : wouldnt you like to know

babybibibi : yeah actually we WOULD like to know,

spACEbar : i’d like to go back to how you own an ISLAND

lesbianda : i feel like you don’t understand just HOW rich ollie is

heatwave : eat the rich

irisbest : hey mick you learned a new phrase!

heatwave : fuck u

snowflake : cisco are you going to puerto rico again?

transco : yeeep

pipes : yeah me too

bilance : oh wait, you’re taking hart to meet your family?

detectiveprettybi : ohhh that’s a big step

transco : why aren’t you latching onto the fact that coldbar are also going on vacation together

irisbest : they’re only visiting hal, that’s not nearly as groundbreaking

lesbianda : i thought our mindset was more of the “of course coldbar are going on vacation together why would we be surprised” kind but that’s okay too

bilance : those two are statements that can coexist

oliverqueer : hm yeah

spACEbar : ▼ω▼

pipes : i could use a vacation, you know

pipes : plus: i can finally improve my spanish pronunciation by talking to native speakers

babybibibi : yeah sco’s grandpa is probably a great conversationalist

detectiveprettybi : why does that sound like you’ve never met him

babybibibi : bc i haven’t

lesbianda : oh WHAT

bilance : weren’t you guys dating for … a while

transco : it’s complicated okay

babybibibi : yeah i don’t speak spanish

transco : my abuelo is super accepting and all but he wouldn’t have gotten polyamory

spACEbar : ://

detectiveprettybi : oh damn

babybibibi : its cool

babybibibi : anyway we’re gonna visit my family too!!

irisbest : oh no so you won’t be allowed to use your phone??

oliverqueer : oh that reminds me that there’s no reception on the island

spACEbar : i can’t get over this island

spACEbar : it gets weirder and weirder

captaincold : u sure that aint purgatory

oliverqueer : it’s relaxing!

babybibibi : i’d like to clarify, once more, that my parents are neither amish nor mormon

babybibibi : so we will be able to text

irisbest : thats nice

irisbest : ollie how long are you leaving us :((

oliverqueer : two weeks

bilance : … that’s valid actually

snowflake : can i ask for something from you guys already?

irisbest : you know you don’t need to be captain for that

pipes : in fact, it might work better when you AREN’T captain

oliverqueer : shoot @ cait

snowflake : can we all shut up so that cisco can concentrate on his paper? 

transco : okay now that is rude

snowflake : you need to finish it today, cisco

oliverqueer : OKAY SEE YOU IN THE NEXT INSTALLMENT

oliverqueer : of our lives i mean

transco : i cannot believe youre forcing me to work

transco : and now nobody responds??

transco : youre cruel.

Notes:

- last semester I had to analyze how sebastian stan fits into the american beauty standard and while i'm not a lesbian like linda, i was still unable to answer because i was flung back into 2013 where i was at the high point of my attraction to sebstan because i am a major gay
- caitlin having seen her dad as a ghost is based on my sister who has seen my dad's ghost while he had his first stroke. he claimed he has also seen her at the same time and now that's FUCKED UP right
- if you're wondering why hartley knows just how excited snart was for his class, i'll refer you to this brand new interlude!
- the island, of course, is lian yu. which makes snart's purgatory joke funny, i hope
- i have learnt recently that mormons have a long history of being associated with polygyny and while i still can't even wrap my mind around mormonism as a concept in general i'd like to apologize if anyone felt offended that i made a mormon joke about the poly character in this fic during the christmas chapter (... if anyone remembers)
- the image ronnie sends is this

 

AND THAT IS A WRAP ON THIS PART OF THE STORY!!! as i said, there will come one more, so don't worry. i won#t post it next week, though, because I have to study and also there's 40 fic ideas living in my brain at this point and i'd like to get out at least one of them, but the week afterwards we'll be back! I suggest you subscribe either to the series or to me personally to be informed when it drops.

thank you all for reading and leaving comments!!! i say this often but MAN i cannot BELIEVE people still think i'm funny, this is so sweet. i love you all
