Fic: Don't Make Me Wait

ciscoscaitlin asks: I just reread your proposal fic and now I desperately need a fluff piece of my babies planning their wedding please 😩? I’ll love u forever.

You sent this to me so long ago and it’s been on my mind, but I wasn’t exactly sure how to do it … until now! It’s mostly fluff. Like. 98.2% fluff.

Don’t Make Me Wait

Cisco ducked into the med lab, snuck up behind Caitlin, and slid his hands over her eyes. “Guess who,” he crooned in her ear.

She reached up and pulled his hands away without looking around. “Hi, sweetie.”

“Wow,” he said, hooking a chair with his foot and plopping into it. “Engaged a whole week and I’m already getting the absent ‘hi sweetie.’ Romance really does die when you get married.”

She looked up. “I’m sorry. Hi.” She leaned over to kiss him.

He kissed her back. “What’s up? You looked like you were trying to figure out the cure for cancer there. Oh, hey, are you? Can I help?”

“No,” she said. “I mean, no to the cure for cancer.” She pushed a pad of graph paper over to him. “You can help me with this.”

He took it and saw that it was divided into several boxes, each one labeled with the name of a local business that did weddings. A few numbers and dates were jotted under each name. “Venues?”

She nodded. “Since you mentioned a couple of places while we were talking about it last night, I decided to research. Make a few calls. Just get an idea of how much they charge and how many people they can fit, you know.”

Having been on DW for a whopping four days now, I'm still in adjustment mode.

I miss likes. I do. I miss being able to click that little heart. I know a lot of folks on Tumblr use likes as a reading list, and dislike when they're done (sending this insecure fic writer into a minor tailspin: what do you mean dislike? Did you change your mind?!? *grabs paper bag to breathe into*) , but the way I used it was to say, "Hi, I see you and I like/support/acknowledge you" to the poster.

However. The lack of the like button on here means I actually have to type out a comment to get across the same sentiments, and while it's more work, it's also more . . . satisfying? I'm actually talking to people instead of waving hi. I know there's that "memorable entries" option you can click, but I'm feeling like it just doesn't work the same.

I also miss the queue.

Weekend Reading - 12/8/2018

Behold! My first attempt at a fic rec digest. Let me know how it works for you. These are the fics I've recommended on Tumblr this past week.

The Flash
Sweet on Me - thatkillervibe
Preparatory to a Disney movie marathon with the whole team, Cisco refuses to share his sweet snacks with anybody but Caitlin. Killervibe, one-shot

School of Thought - thatkillervibe
AU. Cisco's just trying to keep his head down and get through his Molecular Biology Class without giving away that he's a meta to the prejudiced professor. But he keeps getting into loud debates with his cute classmate, who has a secret of her own. Maybe the start of a longer fic? I hope so, anyway. Killervibe.

Takeout - swallowthewhale
A missing moment from 5x04. When Caitlin gets home and gets ready to relax with Cisco, she fills him in on what he's missed while he was out of Star Labs. Killervibe, one-shot

Star Wars
Tears with Laughter (suits you) - skitzofreak
Cassian and Jyn (but mostly Cassian) screwing with Han Solo over his reaction to Princess Leia. Fluffy and fun. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

White Flag - skitzofreak
A snuggling story with mild violence, Jyn being unromantic, and Cassian being a total ridiculous schmoop. The author tagged it with "love is warm toes" and it's true.  Rebelcaptain, one-shot

All the Time in the World - guineapiggie
A prompt fill for "Cassian taking care of Jyn after a particularly rough mission." Cassian is freaking out and trying not to show it, Jyn is in pain and trying not to show it, and they're both hanging in there. Rebelcaptain, one-shot
