Reviews for Out Cold
Sketchy-d00d chapter 26 . 5/31
Sneaky Barry. I hope there’s a blind spots part *eyes emoji*

DO I SENSE THEM MOVING IN TOGETHER AAAAAAA I’m calm what are you saying, I’ve never been calmer.

I like to headcanon Len keeps his apartment super cold and just wears long clothes all the time. I kinda feel like he’s like me, always cold, so idk tho. Either he keeps his place cold so he can wear warm clothes or he’s just “cold blooded” and wears warm clothes.

Len’s a power bottom confirmed.

Okay so I’m watching Unus Annus make pillow forts in quarantine and now I want Len and Barry being soft and fluffy and building a pillow fort

I clearly didn’t notice the “the end” part lol. But like I got so caught up it didn’t feel like an ending oops. I still stand by my “if Lenny gets hurt I’ll cry” statement.

Len’s smart, I can very easily believe he’d deduce Oli is the Arrow.

“Why was he suddenly the bad guy!?” Len, baby, have you met your past self?

Oh but now I’m headcanoning Oliver to have a major sweet tooth. Like ten scoops of sugar major.

I never thought of that. Len doesn’t have any friends who he’s super close with. He’s definitely never been able to talk about that before.

Ha Oof I need to watch Arrow *sweats*

It’s taken me until just now with Len saying he hasn’t promised not to kill again for me to realise this is before his dad happens. I think. I’m actually not sure when but it feels more season one? Idk. It feels before Lewis.

Oooh I hear that “you’ll wish I had” Oli.

Not gonna lie, I kinda ship Felicity and Barry because of that episode where she was checking out team Flash. But it never went anywhere, it’s more just an idle ship that has appeal.

You’re threatening me with Bottom!Len and my brain just short circuited a little. I very much want to see that.

Oh my, you have a Bottom!Len fic. I know what I’m reading next instead of scouring Avatar fanfics.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 24 . 5/29
I wanna wake up next to somebody

Having suffered the worst of an eating disorder and still being on the path to recovery I’ve learned that you should NEVER be embarrassed about needing something to eat. Sure it might be awkward to crack open some crackers in the middle of class or ask to stop somewhere to grab something to tide you over but it’s never bad. It’s better than passing out from low blood sugar or getting emotional from low blood sugar. I get really bitchy and that is the embarrassing part, not the needing food.

Hungry Barry is horny. Didn’t see that coming XD well not exactly horny but you get my point.

Dammit I want that. Crim you’re doing me so good but so dirty, making me want affection and domesticness.I love

I’m screaming. They got caught. I love that.

Oooh they use frech cheese. We use pre shredded. I guess it’s still fresh but like shredding it yourself must be satisfying. Also, im very satisfied with the domestic stuff. You’re hitting all my favourite fic things.

Omg is this leading to Len and Bar getting married?

Karl Urban is my Dr Bones, I’m sorry. Tho to be fair I’m not a “true” Trekkie cause I haven’t seen much of the original Star Trek stuff. I’ve seen basically everything with Chris Pine but I really do need to watch all of it.

Of course Len uses his full name XD he loves having a shared name with him. He’s still Dr Bones to me, I like the nickname.

Isn’t Karl urban like 5’9? I’m pretty sure Grant Gustin is like 6 foot? Brb google.

Oh boy I’m sorely mistaken. Karl Urban is 6’1. Oops. But I had Grant’s height right. Wait how tall is Cisco? He’s only a few inches shorter than Barry right?

Jesus I’m a mess. Okay so Cisco and I share the heigh of 5’7 (tho I might be 5’8 now), Barry is 6ft, and Karl Urban is 6’1 so hes not too much taller than Cisco, just 5(?) inches.

Haha can I join Len, I need to start from square one. I’ve seen a handful of eps from Patrick Stewart’s version and then most of Chris Pine’s.

Hoooo my god. If Lenny meets Henry I’m gonna scream.

Oh no, there’s gonna be a twist and I don’t think I’ll like it. If Lenny gets hurt I’ll cry.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 23 . 5/27
Ha, boy-god. You predicted Savitar.

Good don’t believe his innocence. He’s a dorty boi. Lol.

Barry no, you’re a bottom! A bratty bottom but a bottom.

I can’t imagine sharing a shower. I have to sit when I shower because of medical reasons and I enjoy taking my time under the hot water. Now a bath? I can imagine sharing a bath. Sure it’s not sexy but like, a bubble bath with my boyfriend would be so fun. I’d give him a bubble beard and we’d laugh and just be silly together. I crave the little things like that. I’m also just not inherently sexual. Like at all.

I can’t yet tell if you’re portraying Barry as a power bottom or if they’re verse. The first scene he was a bottom but now that Len’s completely remembered I feel like Barry’s much more bratty and decisive. Interesting, I’ll have to play with that some time.

Oh damn. Okay so them kissing made me remember my dream today (I sleep mostly during the day, thanks depression) and it’s equal parts pleasant and embarrassing. And like, it’s not even dirty it’s just a kiss that’s deeper than lips on lips. It felt so real but the guy I dreamed of I haven’t even been with him irl.

I wonder what my natural musk smells like to others.

HE WAS BEING A POWER BOTTOM. God Crimson, I love your writing. I plan on buying your books when I get income.

Damn Barry you’re a dorty boi. I love it.

Barry, sweet sweet innocent Barry, being so explicit and dirty? I didn’t know I needed it until now.

EEEEE HE SAID I LOVE YOU.

God that would be my biggest fear if I were Barry. Going through it all again only to get to the point where it’s starting to mimic the last time. I’d be so worried that my Len would vanish on me again. As soon as I’d see him dozing off I’d start panicking and try to keep him there so he couldn’t leave me again. And like, even before everything, I already have abandonment issues so I’d worry I’m not good enough and stuff, that he didn’t really want me... I guess that’s why I want a partner who isn’t in it for sex, who’s in it for me rather than anything else.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 22 . 5/26
Len you aren’t the worst option.

I just recently learned that a good way to stop a panic attack is biting into a lemon or sucking on an ice cube. I’ll have to try it the next time Im close to an attack but the ice makes sense. Sometimes when I get really stressed out I eat a cup of ice and it calms me down.

Preach it Cisco.

Oh man. My sister met a guy on Tinder and she’s had him over a few times and he was over two nights ago and I learned he’d spent the night the night before IN HER BED and like I know she’s not a virgin but I had to intimidate the guy so I sat in her little living room (she lives in the room downstairs) while he was over and she told me yesterday that I made him really uncomfortable and I was like “good”. The big brother always has to look out for the little sibling. And that includes judging their partners and making sure they’re safe. Like as much as she thinks I hate her and as much of a pain as she is she means the world to me and I will protect her with all I have.

God I’m so touch starved. I want to be pressed against a wall and kissed like I’m everything he’s ever needed and more. I also just wanna lay on top of my boyfriend and kiss him and cuddle and aaaaa. I need a boyfriend gdi.

Hooo boy I relate to that too much. I don’t think I’ve ever felt good enough even for myself. That’s... actually really sad, damn.

*frantically looks up pics of captain cold’s butt* do he got the booty? Snjdjfkdks he probably do. As my sister would say “he got cake” or whatever. I don’t know, I’m sleep deprived and just reading to silence my mind, too lazy to actually switch off to chrome. I may be asexual but I enjoy the pleasantness of a nice butt.

Flash both of you to a bed Bar, I know you want to.

Called itttttttt.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 21 . 5/24
Len I will personally fight you if you turn him down because I’m pretty sure your reasoning is that you don’t deserve him and let me tell you, you totally do. You deserve to be happy and with someone who loves you.

Len I swear to Hades. You are deserving and I will fight you the next time you say you aren’t.

Shjdjcjdksktj Len is kinda a dork and I’m LIVING.

It seems you predicted the speed lab too. At least that’s what I’m imagining as the sparring room. I could be completely wrong though. I’m kinda ditzy when it comes to timelines and stuff. All I know is this is an older fic around 2017.

Len’s saying how he and Lisa think too similar and all I can think of is Kirishima and Tetsutesu from My Hero Academia...

Len, god dammit. You are worthy, he wouldn’t be after you still if you weren’t. I’m gonna fight you.

Dammit Len I’m gonna fight. Barry clearly likes you, forgives you even. And you like him back. If he’s forgiven you why fight it? Are you afraid you’ll hurt him again? Can you not trust yourself?

God. Barry hurting makes me ache. I’m either too empathetic and feel everything a fictional character feels (this especially sucks when they’re fighting and get hurt because I feel the pain) or I’m not empathetic enough and just don’t feel anything (like when my cat died... I didn’t feel anything).
Sketchy-d00d chapter 20 . 5/21
I love them but they’re truly a pair of dumbasses. Two halves of a whole moron. Who let them fight when they were just gonna be together looking at each other longingly and forget about the enemy XD

Okay but real talk for a second, this is everything I ever wanted so far. I cherished Len and Barry working together the few times it happened and, after discovering the ship through fanfic, I yearned for more. And of course that came with Lenny being reformed. And this has it all so far. It’s a dream come true and I’m still not sure I’m actually awake while reading this to be honest. This seems too good to be true.

Let the man carry you, Len. I beg.

Eeeee. My body needs like 12 hours of sleep for me to be fully awake and like two meals sometimes less. Idk it’s weird.

Ugh the cologne part reminds me I need to take the voice box out of my bear Barry so I can sleep with him again without risk of my ex’s voice coming from his paw. It’s no big deal, I had to open him and his partner bear up to switch the voice boxes after we got home and found out mine was off and the voices were wrong but it’s such a pain and I’ll have to find some stuffing to add to make up for the lack of space. Which is no big deal, I have a torn open pillow in my closet. I could start putting cologne on Kuma but his fur is already greying and he’s supposed to be white...

It’s fascinating to me how others can conjoint thoughts of someone else when they get off. It’s such a foreign thing to me that it doesn’t seem real.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 19 . 5/21
News flash: Barry has ADHD, you heard it here folks. Aka I relate to Barry so much I’m projecting but also him being fidgety no matter what feeds in to that headcanon because I have ADHD and fidget constantly.

I need a minute, Len’s proposing to Barry that they work together and it has my heart soaring.

THEY PLOTTED TO MAKS HIM WORK WITH TEAM FLASH BEFORE HE EVEN SAID HE WANTED TO. IM SCREAMING.

Wait I forgot about Rainbow Raider (I think, he’s the one Len shot right? I remember the red eyes that’s about it).

Mick and Firestorm working together has me happy. Think I need to find some friend fics when I’m done with this lol.

Barry purposefully makes cold puns, my life is complete.

Len being selfless but also a dumbass, that’s so pure. I love him.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 18 . 5/20
I hope you and the hubby are still together. That’s what I want. I’ve just had bad experiences all around with relationships. My heart is scarred and I’m too damn trusting and fall too easy for my own good.

The wrist rub! I’ve heard that works and I know it’s definitely soothing but I’ve never tried it when I have an attack, usually I’m completely alone or my stepdad’s around and if it’s the latter it doesn’t end well. The last attack I had in front of him resulted in him picking me up and throwing me into the hallway as he yelled at me to stop...

Leaving an angry dad with the dumbass boyfriend who hurt his kid is way beyond stupid. I love everyone but damn are they dumb.

Oh man. I’d say that nurture makes nature, Joe. Len hardened himself to deal with the pain of his father’s lack of nurture which created his tough nature. All he knew was pain and wanted to deflect that on to someone or something else. Barry knew love and compassion which is why he’s so soft and trusting.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 17 . 5/20
:O Ronnie’s alive!? Bless you, you are the one true god.

Oh damn I never thought of that. Firestorm is a walking matchstick and Mick’s whole shtick is fire. Now I want some bonding between them :O *starts having visions of Mick and Firestorm doing target practice because fire can’t hurt Firestorm*

Yo, sleepover at the Labs. Sign me UP.

Len, I love you but you’re a certified Dumbass.

God I love Cisco. As much as I relate to him I’m more Barry in reality. But I do have a bit of Cisco in me. Especially the Gypsy part. I can do long distance but eventually I need more.

Bro who the feck falls asleep early and wakes up early? I fall asleep early I ain’t waking up till 8pm.

Damn, radio do be savage.

Closure is a sore topic for me. All my relationships have ended badly and left me emotionally and mentally scarred. And I’ve never actually gotten closure, just hateful words and more hurt. I know it’ll go better for Barry but I do hope he’s careful.

Len’s a dumbass and I’m expecting him to screw up oop. I really love this so far, thank you for the meal.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 16 . 5/18
Waiting when you’re used to things going fast sucks.

Did they do the defibrillator hands back in 2017? I don’t remember it until the season with Nora.

I love that you acknowledge doctors as everyday heroes. Not enough people do that, especially now amid the pandemic.

You made me love Mick a little more, thank you.

That’s how things are, after they heal they’ll still give you a little trouble. I had surgery like six months ago and the scars get sore when I’m cold or if it’s raining and sometimes just for no real reason but it’s never long lasting.

Oh crap I have a new ship. Mick and Cisco. Only because Cisco is challenging Mick who’s bigger than him. God I’m hopeless.

Lisa I love you. Get your dumbass brother to get Barry’s forgiveness.

Bell of realisation! Behdjdjs I’m jacksepticeye trash oops.

I think that’s the Umbrella Academy’s mantra too. I mean like, one of the first things they do is dance together.

I love your Lisa. She’s perfect. Honestly if she doesn’t go after Cisco I’m gonna be disappointed in her lol.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 15 . 5/18
Awww she called him cute.

Brb gotta cry. Barry is too pure but also I’m really really gay and lonely. Is it bad that I want this? I want to be Barry and have a cute guy be into me.

HIS NAME IS TWITCH. Okay I know he’s the bad guy but Twitch can have my lunch money.

I’m still gonna fight Chalo. He hurt Lenny. Oof, I’m making it very clear that I’m chaotic neutral.

I guess for some–never mind just thought of my sister. I was gonna say maybe for some that’s what having a brother is like but my sister and I are at each other’s throats like eighty percent of the time.

Just zoned out for a sec and misread “mattered” as “married” and was like “Woah Len bold thoughts. “

You are not destined to turn out like Lewis, Len. He’s a bad man, someone who doesn’t care if people live or die. He wouldn’t work with his “enemy” or agree to a no killing pact, he’d do whatever the hell he wanted and not care about the consequences. You at least take them into consideration.

Ha, making a “my way is faster” joke to the fasted man alive, love that.

Mick is such a firebug and I love him. When I first started watching The Flash when it had like two seasons on Netflix I made a post on tumblr that was an incorrect quotes thing. So Mick says something about the fire of his lighter being beautiful and Len says his name and Mick flicks it shut but I added Mick saying “don’t kink shame me.” I thought I was a mastermind.

I’m crying. Like I know they’ll save Lenny cause the fic is far from over but it hurts.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 14 . 5/17
I’m proud of you! I want to be published some day. I’m in the works of turning my supernatural fic Hell Even Angels Need Saving into an original piece but don’t know if I want to just post it on fiction press or publish it legit.

I’m bout to fight Chalo. No one hurts LennyI think Eddie just has too much sympathy for others, I don’t think it’s you Bar.

Impossible to dislike Eddie? Bro I didn’t like him when I first met him then he was anti-Flash for a while and that kinda solidified it. Even now I’m tepid about him.

Okay now he’s warmed my heart dammit. Like I expected him to be accepting but I’m too soft, that look and the soft “oh Barry” I’m too weak.

God I wish that were me. I need a good hug. I’ve been feeling so utterly alone and scared and sad lately and I just need someone to cuddle with and watch movies while we eat ice cream or gossip or whatever. I need the little things.

Eddieeee my man, spilling the truuuuuuth. Tell him Len didn’t fake, make him think.

Do they have video of Len panicking on his way out? *eyes emoji*

EVEN BETTER. PROOF.

Woop. Started reading this like three days ago, got really depressed and sad about being alone and couldn’t read because it hurt too much so now reading that Len shot at Bar with the cold gun and a normal gun is a smack in the face. I completely forgot.

Oof. Cliffhanger. I love it shknddgnkfs
Sketchy-d00d chapter 13 . 5/12
He thinks Lenny smells good. That’s all I need.

Barry if you hit him I won’t be mad. In fact I’d probably prefer if you did, he’s being a douche.

Yeah... he kinda deserved that.

Len please just give up, let him know.

OH SHIT. Len oh my god. Is he trying to get Barry to hurt him so bad he forgets again? On one hand it sounds like he’s trying to get over soft Len and he a hard shell again but on the other he keeps making Barry slam him around and agitate his head.

Yikes. I don’t know what to say. Just yikes.
Sketchy-d00d chapter 12 . 5/12
Lenny... I love you, but you dumb.

Oof, don’t attack me like that. I mean I get that I’m constantly depressed but hitting me with the ice cream straight from the carton? That’s savage.

No no, Iris is probably right Bar. Well I mean, Lenny doesn’t know how to handle it but she’s probably right about him having a change of heart in a few days. Give him time. I know time sucks but sometimes you need it.

HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND ABOUT HIM BEING TICKLISH. OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU.

Barry was a virgin? That’s what that’s leading me to think. Wait she probably means heart. My bad.

Lenny please, I’m begging.
