Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**

If you need an invite, DM me. I will gladly give you one!! 💞

You can also just sign up like normal and AO3 let’s you in as soon as a spot opens (for me it took less than a day) so no worries if you don’t actually know anyone!

There have been a couple of posts going around about how smut writers have the challenge of keeping a sex scene interesting when there's only a few different actions and a few different body parts to talk about

And yes, funny jokes about writing, but when I see posts like these I want to scream

If you feel like the sex scene you're writing is repetitive, no number of synonyms for "thrust" will help you. Synonyms for "cock" or "cunt" will REALLY not help you.

Sex scenes are character studies as much as they are action scenes. What are the characters' frameworks for what they're doing? Emotions, thoughts, specific physical sensations. If there are metaphors, do the metaphors make sense with the characters' experiences/the story's theme's/the setting? Is the sex scene completing a character arc, even a small one? Is there a character arc within the sex scene itself, even a small one?

A really good sex scene is specific and grounded to the physicality, emotions, and thoughts of the characters involved. Even if it's a PWP!

It's been said that the largest sex organ is the brain, and this is not a joke, especially when we're talking about the medium of the written word!

Forgotten Memories - Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III x Reader

h/c=hair colour y/n=your name e/c=eye colour n/n=nickname s/c=skin colour

Hiccup sat in his living room, plans and maps scattered around him in organised chaos as he obsessed over finding Viggo Grimborn’s new Dragon Hunter base. So far, he’d had no luck, despite the fact he had been cooped up in the Hut for almost a week. His team had begun to worry again, that emotion towards their leader having become quite frequent.

His little-to-no-progress was interrupted by the arrival of a Terrible Terror swooping into the large room and depositing a scrolled up piece of parchment on the map of the Outer Archipelago he had been scouring with a detailed eye. Hiccup blinked. He wasn’t expecting any mail, meaning this had to be either bad news, or horrid news. He carefully unravelled the parchment, the cursive script of his most recent adversary scrolled across the page. Hiccup,

I believe I have reached a solution to our little feud that can benefit both our parties. Meet me at the small unnamed island located in the outer reaches of The Sullen Sea and we can discuss the matter. If you do not trust me, let me ease your mind by promising that should you bring your dragons myself nor my men will make any attempt to take the first strike against you. This is purely for business, a temporary truce if you will. Should you agree to this meeting, I will be waiting on my ship by the eastern corner of the island in two days’ time. I sincerely hope you shall consider my proposition.

Viggo Grimborn.

The 18-year-old debated the idea in his head. For all he knew this could all be another trap to lure them into a false sense of security, but on the other hand Viggo was a business man, honest to a fault, especially concerning his feud with the young Dragon Rider. It was decided, he and the team would venture to the small island and hear what the Dragon Hunter had to say, staying on alert at all times and keeping their dragons a safe but callable distance away should a speedy escape be necessary.

Clouds blocked the warmth of the Sun as the Dragon Riders touched down on the small unnamed island, disembarking their dragons and instructing them to stay close but hidden. A boat lay on the shore awaiting them, directed straight at Grimborn’s ship. The ride over was easy enough, and once they had all settled and the ‘formalities’ were out of the way, Viggo spoke to Hiccup, who stood at the front of the group.

“I believe I have come to the perfect solution to terminate this little feud once and for all.” The Viking stated bluntly. “Oh, really? Are you going to give up Dragon Hunting and leave the Archipelago and its surrounding water forever? Cause that’s the only solution I see working out for us.” Hiccup replied without fault, gesturing to his team at his last statement. Viggo only chucked. “No my boy, I’m afraid not. It’s simple really. You leave and my Hunters to do our job in peace, and in return, we will return your friend to you, alive.”

Hiccup stalled slightly at that. Why was Viggo suddenly lying to him? It wasn’t like the Leader of the Hunters to lie to his face, he prided himself on his ability to use his quick wit and honesty to throw Hiccup off whenever they faced off. “Nice try, but all of my friends are here beside me, so either you can cut the crap and stop lying to me, or we can just leave and forget this little waste of time even happened.” The older male chuckled once again, only this time, his tone was darker and, though he did not show it, it sent a chilling shiver down Hiccup’s spine. "Oh really? Then you truly have forgotten her. That’s a shame, she always had such high hopes that someday, someday you might remember how much you once meant to each other. I mean, after all, she stayed by your side all throughout you training that Night Fury, cried at your bedside after your mighty battle, and even made the effort to befriend your newest member and your little girlfriend over there when you first discovered her on that beach all those years ago.”iccup whenever he had the chance. H “H-How do you know about all of that? Only the people pf Berk know about those events.” Behind him, he heard Heather and Astrid gasp, but he didn’t dare turn his eyes away from the man in front of him, especially not as he smirked, as if he knew something that could crush Hiccup in an instant, break his sturdy resolve. “Ah, it seems the traitor and her friend have figured it out. Bring the girl forward, brother. Maybe she will help jog your memory, dear boy.”

Ryker disappeared into the crowd for a short moment, before returning with a body dragging behind him by the hair he had wrapped around his fist. From what Hiccup could tell it was a girl, approximately their age. She had (s/c) skin, pale from her captivity and exposed through the cuts across her clothes and her wrists that were chained behind her back. She was thrown to her knees at Viggo’s feet, her back hunched and her form weak, signifying she had been held against her will for quite some time. Ryker took hold of her (h/c) hair again, yanking it back to bring her face into the light, revealing the gag across her mouth and her (e/c) eyes shining with unshed tears of what Hiccup could only assume was fear. Looking into the (e/c) orbs his mind was suddenly racing with flashbacks from his childhood, his memories clouding his head with visions of the past.

*Flashbacks*

“You know I’ll always be there for you, right Hiccup?” --------------------

“It’s not your fault. Your dad just… he’s struggling to see you for the unique person that you are. He loves you, you know that. He just… doesn’t know how to express it in the best way. -------------------

“Hiccup is that a Night Fury? How is it standing so close to you? What have you done?” “I’m training him. (Y/n) this is Toothless. Toothless, meet (y/n), my best friend in the whole world. She’s been there for me since we were little kids, and I just know you two are gonna get along great.”

*Flashbacks End*

“(Y/n)?” Her name comes out in a whisper, but is heard by everyone on the ship.

“HA! So the boy does remember you. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted sweetheart?” Ryker taunted, his face dangerously close to (y/n)’s face for Hiccup’s liking. “To finally be seen by him again? For him to remember what you meant to each other all those lonely years ago? What it was like to walk around your pathetic little village beside him, be the most important thing in his world? Oh, how you missed the times you could hold him as he vented his sorrows to you into the early hours of the morning. Those sickeningly sweet times you could tell him how much you cared about him and know he cared about you to? How does it feel little one? Is it everything your innocent little heart desired?” He sneered.

Tears slowly slipped from her eyes, making Hiccup’s eyes widen in realisation. They were never tears of fear. Those tears were ones of sadness. The guilt rose within him. How could he forget someone like you? You had always been there for him, been his confidante and his only friend when the rest of the village saw him only as an outcast, a disappointment to the Haddock name.

“It was quite fortunate that I came to meet the lovely (y/n) here. I’m sure you’d love to hear the story Hiccup. You see, I had decided to pay a little visit to your charming village, gather some information about my adversary. Always pays to be prepared. As I approached the forge, I tuned into a conversation between this lovely young lady and the owner of the establishment. Gobber, I believe is his name. Anyway, I only caught part of her words, describing how she ‘couldn’t understand how he could’ve forgotten me. I was his best friend Gobber, and he just cast me aside like I meant nothing to him.’ He carried on like that for a while longer, and I must say I never took you for that kind of person my boy. After some fatherly advice from the old man, I watched as she left the forge and start back up to where I could only assume where her home is located. She was alone, walking across the empty grounds in the dark, so I decided I would keep her company, guide her somewhere warm, and where better than my ship. She became quite the feisty little lass, so unfortunately had to do this to her. Keep her from waking the entire village. Couldn’t have that now could we my dear?” He placed a thick finger on her cheek, slowly dragging it up and down her face, (y/n) not even bothering to fight it. Hiccup’s heart broke as he listened to Viggo’s words, followed by an intense feeling of rage as he watched him place his hand on her delicate face, almost wiping away the constant flow of tears that fell from her eyes.

“Don’t. Touch. Her.” He practically growled, startling his friends and even Viggo. “Oh, suddenly care about her do you? Now that you see what you left to fend for herself without protection or guidance, you feel the need to be there for her? I’m afraid you’re a little too late for that. You declined my offer of an exchange before even seeing what I had to offer, so I no longer have any use for her.” He pulled a knife from his belt and placed it over (y/n)’s neck, a delicate touch to begin with. “You’re going to watch this Hiccup. You and your pathetic friends are going to watch as I slit her pretty little throat and relieve her of her misery.”

As he moved to pull the knife towards him, a roar sounded. From the darkness Toothless glided onto the ship, his tail whipping to smack the knife away from Viggo’s hand and wrap around the trembling form that was (y/n). Everything else passed by so quickly, Hiccup didn’t even registered what was happening until he was on Toothless’ back and speeding away from the ship with (y/n) sitting across his lap and curled away from him, as though trying to place as much distance between them as she was able. They were all silent as they flew back to Dragon’s Edge, where Hiccup rushed to his hut and placed (y/n)’s now unconscious form on the spare bed and assessing her for any serious wounds or broken bones. When he found none, only little bruises here and there and her wrists raw from the chains, he let out a sigh of relief. He stared down at her sleeping form, reaching a hand out to brush the (h/c) lock from her face.

“Is she going to be okay?” Heather asked from the doorway, finally coming in to the room after watching Hiccup’s affectionate display. He nodded his head, turning his gaze away from the girl laying in the bed. “She’ll be fine. She’ll need a few days at least to recover, but after that, she’ll be able to go back to life the way it always has been for her.” “Her life hasn’t always been so lonely Hiccup. You of all people should know that. Did you really forget all about her?” Hiccup hung his head in shame, “Yeah, I really did. I have no idea how, but after I woke up from the battle with the Red Death, she never crossed my mind. Not until I saw her next to that… that… Hunter, looking so small and weak. She hasn’t changed at all since we were 15. Her hair’s longer, but that’s it. Exactly the same.” “Her personality hasn’t changed since I met her either, all those years ago.” Heather reminisced with him. “She welcomed me with open arms when you guys first found me. Regardless of how Astrid felt about me, in fact she was the one who convinced Astrid to give me a chance. She never doubted that I was a good person. Made my decision to cross Alvin all the more easy. But she always had that underlying sadness hidden in her eyes. She rarely let it out around anyone, but I could see it. She talked about you a lot.  I think that’s when I noticed the sadness. I never asked her about what happened, I just assumed you guys had  some sort of fight and things ended badly. You never spoke about her so I figured it would be stupid to ask you about her, but now I know why. You’ve really hurt her Hiccup, and you better figure out a way to fix this, fast. She’s one of my best friends, and I know deep down she’ll always be yours. You’ve got 3 long years of hurt to make up for, so I suggest you make this priority number one. Astrid and I agreed that we would keep her here until things between you were fixed. Think you can put this Viggo stuff aside for a while to fix your mistake?”

Hiccup sighed, running a hand through his chocolate brown locks. “I’ll do my best Heather, but know there’s no guarantee she’ll ever forgive me for this. I hurt her bad, this is without a doubt the worst thing I’ve ever done. We’ll tell she’ll stay with me while she’s recovering, and I’ll try to make things better. I don’t how, but I forgot how much I cared about her when we were younger. I’ll make this right, I hope.”

Three weeks had passed, and Hiccup had made very little progress with making things better with (y/n). She had started talking to him again, but other than that she avoided him at all costs. She stayed in her room most of the day, unless pulled out by some other member of the team. Hell, she even spent more time with Snotlout than she did with Hiccup, which irked the Viking to no end.

The team seemed to be a little on the fence about how they treated Hiccup in that time. They all knew he hadn’t meant o hurt her, but that didn’t make it excusable. Toothless had even taken to spending a fair amount of time with (y/n). Hiccup could understand that. True to the flashback he’d had on the boat, his two best friends had formed a fast and strong friendship of their own. (Y/n) absolutely adored the playful Night Fury, just as Toothless loved to throw the girl on his back and bounce around the island with her, making her laugh until her sides hurt.

One night, Heather and Astrid had come over for a Girls’ Night In, banishing Hiccup to the living room where he couldn’t hear only their incessant giggling, making him smile for a short while before quickly becoming the most irritating sound in history. Suddenly, the laughter stopped, leaving Hiccup confused. He closed the book he had been reading and quietly made his way to the doorway to (y/n)’s room.

“Seriously (n/n), you should move to The Edge with the rest of us.” He heard Astrid say. “It would take us no time at all to build you a hut of your own, and we could help you find a dragon too. C’mon, what do you say? Will you join our crazy crew?” She finished, mimicking a pirate accent and making (y/n) and Heather giggle. Hiccup’s heart fluttered at the idea of (y/n) staying with them permanently; he still had so much to make up for. “I dunno Astrid. It sounds great, but I have a life back on Berk. Granted it’s not the best life, but I’m content. If I’m gonna be honest with you, I’ve been better since you guys left for The Edge. Not having to see Hiccup every day in the marketplace, or soaring above the village, it’s made it easier to cope. Coming here, spending all day every day with him, would only make things worse for me. I mean it’s clear he doesn’t give a damn about me. He only put on that whole caring act to try and keep them from killing me. It wouldn’t have been such a bad thing when I think about it. Dying. I mean, I don’t matter to anyone, nobody would miss me if I just disappeared, they wouldn’t even care.”

Hiccup had heard enough, he slammed the partially closed door wide open, a resounding bang echoing through the house as it smacked the wall. All three girls’ heads snapped to see a fuming Hiccup, fists clenched and jaw set. “Astrid, Heather, could you two please go back to your huts? I need to have a little chat with (y/n). Alone.”

The two girls quickly stood from their places on the bed, shooting a look to (y/n) that said ‘sorry’ and rushed from the room, closing the front door behind them before Hiccup started talking.

“How could you possibly think that (y/n)? That no one would miss you. The team would miss you, Toothless, my dad, Gobber, they’d all miss you. I… I’d miss you.” (Y/n) scoffed, standing up from the bed. “Don’t kid yourself Hiccup. You wouldn’t miss me? How could you? Up until three weeks ago you didn’t even remember who I was, that I even existed. The others would get over it. They all have friends and family to get them through. I, on the other hand, don’t have anyone. Haven’t since the day you turned your back on me.” “I didn’t mean for that to happen. I don’t know why I forgot about you. I just did. Why didn’t you come up to me, say something?” “Oh yeah like it’s that easy to just walk up to the saviour of Berk and have a casual conversation. I tried Hiccup, many times. It was like you couldn’t even hear me.” “Well, maybe if you had tried harder-” As soon as the words slipped out of his mouth, he knew he’d done it again. He screwed up, and (y/n) had reached her limit.

“I LOVED YOU HICCUP! ALL THROUGH YOU BEING A REJECT AND FEELING UNLOVED BY YOUR DAD, I WAS ALWAYS THERE LOVING YOU!  YOU NEVER NOTICED THOUGH, OF COURSE YOU DIDN’T! I WAS ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE, SUPPORTING YOU AND VOWING TO NEVER LEAVE YOUR SIDE AND WHAT DO YOU TURN AROUND AND DO?! YOU LEAVE ME ALONE THE MOMENT PEOPLE STARTED RESPECTING YOU, AS IF I HADN’T DONE THAT FROM THE DAY I MET YOU! I WAS LEFT TO RESTART MY LIFE WITHOUT ANYONE THERE TO CARE ABOUT ME! TO ASK ME IF I WAS OKAY! BECAUSE THE ONE PERSON, THE ONE PERSON I NEVER THOUHT WOULD ABANDON ME DID JUST THAT! YOU ABANONED ME HICCUP! DID YOU EVEN NOTICE WHEN I MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE TO LIVE WITH GOBBER?! DIDN’T YOU EVER WONDER WHY THE BEDROOM NEXT TO YOURS WAS SUDDENLY SO EMPTY?! DID YOU REALISE THAT I WAS SO BROKEN WHEN YOU LEFT ME WITHOUT EVEN AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY?!YOU WERE ALL I HAD, EVEN BEFORE MY DAD WAS KILLED, OR DID YOU FORGET THAT TOO?! GOD, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS BEING IN PAIN I CAN ONLY WONDER HOW I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!”

There was dead silence after (y/n) had finished her rant. She stood there, her breathing heavy from all the shouting she had done, before she moved around the room collecting the things she had been given to live away from her home. She stuffed them into the bag she had made and walked past a still frozen Hiccup, heading for the front door. Hiccup seemed to snap out of his trance and followed, asking her where she was going, his voice quiet and almost like a strained squeak. “I’m going to stay the night at Astrid’s, and tomorrow I’m getting her to take me back home to Berk. I think it would be best if we just didn’t interact again, stay apart from each other. That shouldn’t be too hard for you, you’ve had three years practice.” She shot coldly, “Goodbye Hiccup Haddock.”

The use of his last name in her departure made it all the more crushing to hear the thud of the door closing behind her. (Y/n) was gone, and Hiccup never even got the chance to tell her how sorry he was, because once again, he had messed up, and let the most important thing is his life slip away.

The next morning, Hiccup burst from his hut, running as fast as he could in the direction of Astrid’s. He had been up the whole night, thinking about everything that had happened during the fight and sorting through his emotions. He knew what he had to do, and he needed to do it before he lost all his nerve.

When he opened the door to Astrid’s hut, he wasn’t surprised to see the entire gang in the large living room, saying their goodbyes to (y/n). She had made quite the impact of each of their lives, and had them promise they would visit her on Berk soon.

Everyone fell silent when Hiccup appeared in the doorway, but he focussed only on (y/n) striding forward and dodging everyone’s attempts to prevent him from getting any closer. He griped her arms firmly, yet not so hard that he would hurt her. He would never do that again. With his last burst of sleep-deprivation-inspired confidence, he pulled her forward and smashed his lips onto hers. He felt her gaps, taking the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth, trying to coax even the slightest reaction from her. Hearing a satisfying, soft moan and feeling her lips starting to respond to the movement of his, he smiled into the kiss. After a few more moments, he pulled away gently, noses barely brushing against each other and content smiles on both faces.

“I’m sorry (y/n). I’m so, so sorry. I never meant to hurt you in any way,, and it kills me to think of all the pain I’ve put you through over the past three years. Please, give me one more chance. I promise you, I will never hurt you again. I love you far too much to let it happen again. I spent the whole night thinking about it, yes I’m in love with you. Have been since the day I introduce you to Toothless. You are the most important person in my life, and if you would let me, I’d like to become the most important person in yours again.”

(Y/n) looked at him sceptically, “How do I know you won’t break your promise and forget me again? How do I know you won’t hurt me?” “Because I never break my promises, I am never letting you leave my side again and you just know without a doubt that Astrid and Heather would kill me and hand you my remains in a basket if I ever screwed up this bad ever again.” “Don’t you doubt it for a moment, dragon-boy.” Astrid laughed, enjoying the sight before her.

“Alright Hiccup. I’ll give you one more chance, but, you’ve gotta do one more thing for me.” “Anything. Name it and I’ll do it, I promise.” (Y/n) smiled softly, “Kiss me again, you ginormous dork.” Hiccup chuckled at that, “I think that can be arranged, my lady. Come here.” Wrapping his arms around her waist, her hands winding up to clutch gently at his short, soft hair, their lips met again, the promise of a wonderful future being sealed with their kiss.

Forgotten memories restored, treasured for all time, and the promise of many more treasured moment to come in the future, their story began again.

No More Distance - Kid Flash x Reader

Image

y/n=your name s/h/n=super hero name e/c=eye colour

*This takes place after the events of ‘Endgame’, but Wally didn’t die.

The Young Justice League was back to normal, almost. Artemis and Kaldur were back on the right side, and the team was stronger than ever, almost. (Y/n), who went by the alias (s/h/n), had come in shortly after Kaldur had ‘killed’ Artemis, the Justice League hoping her arrival would help to balance out tensions within the group. She had become a fast friend to the whole junior league, and, after a grieving period, had become someone very special to Wally, Kid Flash. Artemis, however, was not at all happy about their relationship development. She had discovered it after one of the League’s missions went awry, resulting in KF, Robin and (s/h/n) being captured and used as bait for the remaining members. During their stay in one of The Light’s warehouses, Artemis, under the guise of Tigress, had tortured (y/n) for information on the Justice League and their aliases, leaving the young hero to be rescued by an extremely ticked off Wally, and for the huntress to be left with more than a few bruises from her ex-boyfriend during the escape.

When Artemis finally returned to the team, Wally was elated. He still cared about Artemis, but his feelings had changed to that between friends, no longer anything more. (Y/n) however, had misinterpreted his excitement at the archer’s return, and decided that, in order to let Wally be happy, she had to back away and distance herself, saving herself from an excess of heartache and awkwardness. Wally had quickly picked up on his girlfriend’s sudden evasion of him whenever he tried to come closer than a few feet, and grew worried.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with her Dick.” He expressed to his oldest friend. “I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong, or if she just doesn’t like me that way anymore, but I’m worried that she just refuses to let me within five feet of her anymore. What do I do man?” Nightwing almost rolled his eyes at his friend. “Dude, it’s totally obvious she’s distancing herself from you cause she thinks you wanna get back together with Artemis. She sat with you for hours while you got over her death remember? She knows exactly how you used to feel about her, and she must be trying to make what she thinks is an impending breakup less painful by separating herself from you for as long as possible” “………She told you, didn’t she?” “Of course she did. You forget that next to you, I’m her best friend. She’s like my little sister, and in saying so, you hurt her at all, I will not hesitate to kill you. And you know I could do it. You’d never hear or see me coming.”

Later that night, Wally found himself knocking on Artemis’ bedroom door. After a few moments, the blonde cracked the door open, smiling and opening it wider when she saw who it was. “Hey Wally. Come on in.” “I can’t stay long Artie. I just need to talk to you about something.” “Sure babe, go ahead.” Wally sighed at the pet name. “You see, that’s the thing Artemis. I’d appreciate it if you’d stop calling me babe. I’m with (y/n) now, and she’s been distancing herself from me since you got back. Robin told me it’s cause she thinks you and I will get back together. Do you think you could talk to her please? Straighten things out? I know you had a rough introduction a few months ago when you had to torture her and stuff, but I feel like if she hears it from you as well as me, it might ease her mind about it all.” Artemis frowned, “So, basically what I’m hearing is that you want me to tell your current girlfriend that your ex-girlfriend and you won’t be getting back together? And that she needs to stop ignoring you and avoiding you around the Tower? Sorry Wall, I don’t think I can do that. You see, I had the same thoughts (y/n) did. We never actually broke up Wally, I was just undercover doing work for the League. My feelings haven’t changed, and I’d like to think yours haven’t either.” “Sorry Artemis, but I moved on from you almost six months ago. (Y/n) helped me get through the grief of watching you die, and over the weeks she was there for me, we developed a really strong relationship. I love her, Artemis, and I really don’t wanna lose her. I’m sorry if this isn’t the way you’d hoped it’d turn out, but I really need your help with this.” “Not happening Wally. I’m not giving you up without a fight.”

Suddenly something clicked with the Speedster. “Hang on, di-did you torture (y/n) to keep your cover? Or cause you had a grudge against her?” Artemis’ silence was answer enough, and it stirred a rage in Wally her hadn’t felt since the day the torture itself had happened. “HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? You may have been undercover, but what made you think something like that would be okay? You’re a hero Artemis, not a villain, and I know for a fact that you never took part in any other torture sessions when you were there as Tigress. Did you request to take care of her? Over something as petty as jealousy? You’re UNBELIEVABLE!” “OH COME ON WALLY! SHE’S NOTHING BUT A REPLACEMENT, FOR BOTH THE TEAM AND FOR YOU! YOU DON’T LOVE HER, SHE’S JUST BEEN FILLING THE GAP WHILE I WAS AWAY! AND I’M GOING TO PROVE IT!”

Without warning, Artemis had pinned Wally to the wall next to her open door and slammed her lips onto his, leaving him frozen in shock. She was so strong all of a sudden he couldn’t even move his wrists to attempt to push her away.

The forced kiss was interrupted by a small gasp that sounded from the doorway, and Wally turned his head to see (y/n) standing there, eyes wide and filled with tears and her bottom lip quivering from the cries she was holding in. She turned as quick as she could and rushed back down the hallway, sobs escaping her lips that echoed through the Tower and alerted the entire team to her distress. They ran towards where the sound had originated to find Wally still pinned to the wall and Artemis with a proud smirk on her face.

Zatanna was suddenly livid. “What the HELL is going on here?” “Dude, my brother told you to fix this, not make it worse. What did you do?” Robin almost growled. Dick had warned Wally what would happen if he hurt the newest member of the team, and Tim was ready to carry out his big brother’s promise right then and there, sneakiness be damned.

Wally seemed to snap out of his stupor when Zatanna spoke, finally prying Artemis’ hands off him and pushing her away. “I swear it wasn’t me. She attacked me and kissed me as (y/n) walked into the room. She was so strong and I don’t even get how but I couldn’t even twist my wrist. I came here to ask her for help with getting (y/n) to stop avoiding me, but instead I find out that she tortured her of purpose cause she found out about me and (y/n) dating. She was jealous, so she took advantage of the fact that we were prisoners and scarred (y/n) for life.”

The whole team’s eyes grew wide, especially Kaldur. “You were the one who tortured (y/n)? You said it was SportsMaster. How could you do something like that?!”

Whilst the rest of the team dealt with Artemis, Wally sped off to find his girlfriend. He knew exactly where she would go, and only hoped her frequented spot wouldn’t encourage any rash behaviour before it was too late.

The tears poured from (y/n)’s (e/c) eyes as she sat on top of Mount Justice, staring out at the ocean that surrounded the Mountain base and the way the setting sun reflected on the water in different shades of pinks and oranges. It was so peaceful, but she felt none of the tranquillity around her. Her heart was broken, and her spirit was crushed. She had thought by distancing herself from Wally and only looking at him as Kid Flash, she would be saving herself from the hurt she knew was coming, but she had been so wrong. He hadn’t even broken up with her and he was already kissing Artemis. That was low.

A sudden breeze brushed past her, making her hair fly to the side and a sigh to escape her lips. “What do you want Wally? Shouldn’t you be downstairs with Artemis?” Wally sat down beside (y/n), hoping she wouldn’t move away from him when he did. He was disappointed as she shuffled to the side, creating a greater distance from their arms as they propped their bodies upright. “(Y/n), I swear to you that I didn’t kiss Artemis. She attacked me. She must’ve known you were coming in, and wanted to hurt you. I went to ask her to tell you that she and I wouldn’t be getting back together and tell you to stop avoiding me, but she refused to let me officially break up with her. When she tortured you,” a shiver ran down her spine as her mind drifted to the memories that would remain scarred into her forever, “she was doing it out of spite, not to keep character. The rest of the team is dealing with her, and I’m 100% positive Robin has already contacted Batman to deal with her. Please stop pushing me away angel. I love you so much, and I promise you I’m not going anywhere, not now, not ever.”

He shifted closer again, praying to whatever God or Higher Power was out there that his words were getting to her in the right way. He was relieved when she actually scooted back towards him and leant her head of his shoulder, entwining their hands together. “You promise Wally? You’re not leaving me?” Wally smiled down at her, “Sweetheart, I’m not going anywhere. You mean the world to me, and I never intend to let you get away from me. No matter the distance between us, you will always be my number one girl.”
