Unexpected Reading Material!

[bringstheheat]

Buck Manly was adrift. He had been ripped away from his home and from his busty alien queen. But all was not lost. In his new city he'd found a striking alien prince, Zien who was swiftly winning over Buck with his brilliant mind and flowing midnight locks and smiles that reminded him of a sunrise.

.....

Buck wraps his glistening biceps around his alien prince, pressing his lips to his, tasting the warm salt of his dusky skin.

This wasn't his home, but perhaps it could be.

[The chapters come in fits and starts, Buck Manly on his next great adventure. Nobody can track the source, but the chapters become a full fledged book with solid science and detailed world building.
.. oh. And sex.
Lots and lots of purple prose.]

[Head. Desk.
Seriously, he's starting to get why Harry sometimes throws things.] You're telling me none of the characters seem even a little familiar?

Private

[goodviberations]

Dude, you've clearly got your mind set on something. Just tell me.

Private

[chosenbylightning]

Buck = Mick Rory
Zien = Cisco Ramon

You're telling me you *don't* see it?

Private

[goodviberations]

[He'd be lying if he said he hadn't seen a few similarities between Buck and Mick, but he'd figured that was him going all 'rose-colored glasses' because of his crush.]

Even if I agree with you, which I'm not saying I do, that would mean whoever wrote this ships Vibewave. Which, other than you, no one does.

[Is it easier on his heart to pretend that Heatwave and Vibe are separate from him and Mick? Absolutely. And separate people get ship names.]

Private

[chosenbylightning]

And we know I didn't write it.


Cisco. Dude I don't think your crush is as one sided as you were afraid it was. [And you know Barry - he wouldn't offer false hope to his best friend.]

Private

[goodviberations]

You can't actually be saying that Mick wrote this.

[He tries not to hope, but with all the little pieces niggling at him, it's hard. Buck so similar to Mick. Zien so similar to Cisco. Mick loves sci-fi and adventure, and Cisco knows he has the life experience to world build like this.

No. No, Cisco. Stop it.]

Is it really that hard to believe?

I really think there's something there, man. Mick cares about you. If he didn't, he wouldn't have written you like that.

Private

[goodviberations]

Yeah, Barry. It is that hard to believe. I'm not like you. I don't have the universe itself showing me that I'm meant to be with someone. It's always just been me. And every time I've been willing to put myself out there, it's ended badly.

I just can't, okay? Drop it.

Private

[chosenbylightning]

Okay. Okay I'm sorry. [And damnit if his heart isn't breaking for Cisco at that. His best friend deserves to be happy.]

I just.. want to see you happy. That's all.

Private

[goodviberations]

[A sigh. He feels badly for getting angry at Barry. He's just trying to help.]

I know, Barr. And I am. Really.
