Legends One-Shots

Slingshot (Legends & AvaLance)

A/N

Hey friends! This chapter... this chapter was hell to write. It is truly a doosey... cause when over 1500 words of your progress deletes TWICE, you tend to be pretty frustrated and actually stuck in writer's block, believe it or not. ANYWAYS... this chapter has A LOTz (I'm sorry couldn't help it) in store for you. Some of the highlights are...

- A whole "episode" written out for you

- AvaLance "intimacy"

- "We're going to the 60s!"

And best of all...... we've got dragons!

If you're interested, the word count I racked up for this one was 5,280 words, so I hope its all worth it. This will take place After season 4, but Zari will still be around (respectively, just because I don't know enough about Bherad to write his character). I'm throwing Nate onto the Waverider because... why not... and please try to ignore that there has already been a dragon episode, just because I couldn't think of a different creature to use (I'm dumb, ik).

Also, there are some confusing explanations up ahead... props to you if you can understand everything. If you can't, its ok, just go with it. Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy!

Ava's eyes flashed open once she gave up on the hope of sleeping. She sits up alone in bed, thoughts racing with Sara, and Sara only. Fantasizing, dreaming and reliving all of the precious moments that the two had shared together, she misses every part of the woman with her whole heart.

While insomnia chases poor Ava down, she climbs out of bed in the middle of the night and makes her way over to the shoe box kept on the other side of the room. The box was old and tattered, but it held so much meaning to Ava, she just couldn't bear to replace it.

Just as she did every night for the past month, she takes her new crumpled up time message that's been kept safe in her shirt pocket and sets it on the coffee table, along with the other 29 notes that Sara has written for her. She leaves the last unread note in the box and sets it aside because those were marked for a future date... and Ava promised herself she would wait to open each letter on their assigned day.

And again, just as she did for the past 29 nights, she reads through and traces over every note as if they were Sara herself, in every crease and letter. Because that's all Ava had left of her love, the shoebox, memories, and a promise that Sara better stick to.

Flashback —————— 30 Days Ago

"Alright, Legends! I need everyone on the bridge in 5! We've got an anachronism... and you guys are gonna love it!" Sara walks and talks with a pep in her step as the whole team comes together around the monitors. She was rather surprised to see everyone present on time, Even Mick who is more or less always late.

"Alright Captain, whatcha got for us today?" Nate asked as Sara approached the group.

"Take one guess, Nate," Sara smirked, and Nate immediately knew what the adventure was going to be.

"NO WAAAAAAAY. Sara, I swear if this is a joke I will go back to the Bureau in a heartbeat."

"What is it, Nate?!" No one else could catch on to what was happening.

"No, Nate, I'm serious."

"WOOOOHOOOO!!!"

"That's right, Legends. We've got a Dragon." Sara grinned.

End Flashback ----------

Ava has made it to the seventh note, but this one she holds a little bit closer than the rest. This message was one of Ava's favorites that Sara left behind. It makes her smile, it makes her laugh, and it makes her cry.
