Shielded by Lightning || Barry Allen
"She loved him in the quietest way-without expecting to be loved back." Barry Allen was struck by lightning, the night that changed his life forever. Little did Barry know he wouldn't be the one having a life changing experience. But before that, there was Danielle (Dani) Stone - the girl who lit up every hallway with shimmery eyelids, sarcasm in her smile, and a heart too big for her own good. He became a childhood best friend, although his was Iris. Their connection never really faded, even when time and trauma tried pulling it apart. Danielle attended Gotham University, majoring in Cognitive Science with a concentration in Emotion, Perception, and Neural Response and a minor in Experimental Physics. Now she's returning to Central City - stronger, older, maybe a little more broken than when she left. She didn't plan on coming a couple days before the Particle Accelerator (okay maybe she didn't plan). But she definitely didnt plan falling in love with Barry Allen all over again. As metahumans rise, Barry and Danielle find themselves drawn together by something more powerful than destiny: choice. Karaoke, battles that bruise souls, and quiet moments that scream everything they can't say outloud, they discover what it means to love in a world that's always running out of time. He's the lighting. She's the light. And maybe, just maybe, they'll save eachother.

Running Out of Time {Barry Allen/The Flash}
5/--/18: #2 in #theflash 6/- -/19: #7 in #theflash 8/28/19: #1 in #dccomics 5/6/21: #3 in #greenarrow She can control time. Speed it up, slow it down, or just plain stop it. Yes, sounds awesome right? Well, it can be, but it also can't be. She's a metahuman. Yep, you heard right. She was struck with that lighting in the same night Barry Allen was. Then, after the nine months of being in the hospital, she woke up. Then she ran. Her emotions hit, and she temporarily slowed down time in order for her to make a five mile walk in under three minutes. Call it, un-super speed if you'd like. She was confused. She had no clue how that happened, but she had to find how. Now, she was extremely smart. She did research. Then she saw many reports on the news about this man called "The Streak". She thought it was... Odd. The whole concept of superheroes and super humans. It was to unreal and childish for her. She didn't like the title 'superhero'. Until one night, the masked man, whose name has been recently changed to "The Flash", showed up on one of her missions. But ever since then her life hasn't been close to the same.

Enter The Past (barryallenxreader)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the flash or any of the flash's characters. Barry Allen and Y/N Y/L/N met in high school, not knowing their deep connection. As they begin to reveal their pasts to one another, they realize just how much they have in common, including their feelings for one another. They set out together to fully uncover the truth of their parent's murder. However, it will take more information than they have. When things already seem to be confusing enough for Barry and Y/N, they get a visitor. Will this visitor give them the answers they need? Or will they only make things harder? This story takes place before the tv show actually begins. Everyone I've seen who writes flash fanfiction tends to start the book during the actual show, but I've always thought some of those need more backstory than they are given. So I decided the first book in my fanfiction series should fully explain Y/N and Barry's history with one another. I care a lot about grammar and my writing. If you happen to catch a grammatical error or inconsistency in the story, (wrong date, wrong name, etc.), please let me know! This story has been completed already, but I will still only upload a chapter or two a day, so I have time to write the next book. Please comment and vote!Complete

Oceans Between Us
Y/N Curry had always lived a simple, boring life underwater. She dreamed of experiencing life on land, away from the pressures of life underwater and the constant control of her sometimes overbearing father. Luckily, her wish for a life greater than the one she had come true when she was unexpectantly allowed to roam the surface. She ventured to Central City, seeking friendship from the legendary Flash and his crew of misfits. Upon finding him though, she began to feel a connection to the Flash's enemy, Savitar. Ruthless and set on making the Flash's life miserable, Savitar never would have pictured himself caught in a decision where he was forced to choose between getting the revenge he's been working towards or leaving it all behind to be with the one he loved. Unfortunately, the problems between Savitar and Y/N went even farther. Team Flash began to turn on their newly acquired member and even more gruesome was that someone had to die because of it. How does Y/N handle being on land? Will she be able to live the life she wants or does the world have a different plan?Complete
It's Like Thunder ⚡︎ Barry Allen
Arielle Murray was hit by a wave of dark matter the same night as many other people, including Barry Allen. Not many people know he is the Flash, but as a detective at CCPD? Arielle figured it out pretty quick. Okay, okay. He told her when she confronted him, asking for help to control her own strange powers, unsure of what to do with them. With the help of Barry and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, she is able to control them and even help people. She may have gotten herself into more than she was thinking... I do not follow the script of the CW show The Flash, and it is basically an alternate universe where Barry is still the Flash and has the team and his friends, just has different encounters with different metahumans. My characters are mine, the CW's characters are theirs. #1 in barryallen 5/21/18 #3 in flash 7/16/18 ****Cover by @-wolfsbanes****Complete
Snowbarry - Flash S9
Honestly I was disappointed after watching series finale of the flash. All the villain speedsters getting knocked out in one hit 🙄😶. The finale was so rushed. So I decided to write a new finale and this will be snowbarry fiction. This story will continue from the series finale of the Flash. If you guys don't know Eddie is Cobalt blue. Points to be noted: Cisco didn't gave up his powers. Oliver is alive. Oliver and Felicity are married. Mark(chilliblaine) is not in this story, Imagine he left after creating Khione. Wally is working with the Legends. I don't know when I will update but enjoy 😉 I don't own any of the characters. All belongs to the flash. #1 in FlashFrost - 3/7/23 #2 in FlashFrost - 4/7/23 #15 in Snowbarry - 8/7/23 - 10/7/23Complete
Flashette(A Barry Allen/Flash Fanfiction)
(Season 1 Of The Flash) Growing up without parents is hard enough, but it's even harder when no one understands you. That was Chloe's world. At the age of 11, she found both her parents dead in her living room with no evidence of death, or even a suspect. She was taken in by the police, only to be ignored because her story seemed CRAZY to everyone around her. She was later sent to foster care before being adopted by Joe West. To this day, she's a 25 year old forensic scientist who works alongside Barry Allen and Joe West at the "Central City Police Department." Chloe's life was going great. She had a loving family, and a job that suited her. Her life certainly looked brighter than those dark days 14 years ago. But that quickly changed. The malfunctioning of the particle accelerator, a yellow blast of energy, chemicals, and a lightning bolt, both caused Barry and Chloe to be left in a coma like state for 9-10 months. When they wake, they discover that they are not the same as before the accident. They discover that they have something everybody doesn't: super speed. At first, she finds her new abilities scary, but with the help of S.T.A.R Labs, Barry and Chloe go out as "The Flash" and "Flashette," protecting Central City from the dangers the Particle Accelerator has brought. What could be better than doing all that with the one she loves? With drama, action, love, and suspense, Chloe learns what it's like to be a hero. Follow her story as she learns how to balance her double life and keep one of the biggest secrets of all. (I do not own DC characters, elements, or events. I only own characters, events, and plot points I create. ) **1ST PLACE 2017 DC COMICS WATTY AWARD WINNER** ⚡️THE ORIGINAL COMPLETED ''FLASHETTE'' STORY⚡️ **FIRST BOOK OF THE "FLASHETTE" SERIES**Complete
