Comment on chases, escapes, true love, miracles

  1. I love this story! I could put it down so to speak. I started reading it at bed time and read it till my eyes went blurry (I was super tired) and pretty much fell asleep with phone my hand as I battled to keep going because I wanted to what happened next. Sleep won as always does. I read every chance I could all day in between work. That's how good this story is. I could not stay away from it. I couldn't put it down I had to keep reading it every chance I could till it finished.

    This is a truly wonderful story that deals with crappy ways people have treated Cisco but in uplifting manner. Harry makes amends and helps Cisco open up to the group. Barry pulls his head out of ass about what effects Flashpoint had on Cisco. It was so hard to read about all of Cisco's suffering in both timelines but you can't h/c with hurt part. Having nightmares where can't what realty is great plot point. I thought Harry might be mad at Cisco for taking his sweater to dream!vibe his death in B1 but he wasn't. He trusts Cisco's abilities and knowing his own limits. It hard to listen to B1!Cisco call Harry and Barry out on their shit but damn if he didn't have a point. I agree with Cisco's final thoughts on the manner B1!Cisco only limited memories and scared by pain of his life. Cisco can forgive, let go, move on, sees that friends love him etc. B1!Cisco helped Harry who helped Cisco create better support system for himself. Barry is kinda baby deer sometimes that I want to protect because he mean any harm but at same time I'm pretty upset at selfish actions so I would've liked to see B1!Cisco tare into him the way he did Harry. Truth is before the trailer came out I pictured Cisco being physically effected by flashpoint too not ending up super rich. It's good enough Cisco doesn't need to suffer anymore on screen than he has. I love that there good things to come from B1 like Cisco is trying harder with Dante because he good memories of his devoted loving brother. I hope he told Dante some version of truth aka "The Flash changed the timeline but with my powers I remember some of it. In the other timeline I was sick but you always there for me" you know no details that upset Dante. I think knowing that push Dante to closer to Cisco. Dante would give himself permission to let go of his pride and try harder like Cisco is doing now. Answering the phone instead texting back or not texting till later because he's hanging with team Flash.

    I love slow burn Harrisco! Cisco's failed plans of not falling in love Harry and everyone pushing for them to be together. Jesse trying hint that her was into him and failing because Cisco can't believe anyone would want him. I bet Harry was having a little mini heart attack that Jesse outed him when wasn't expecting it and Cisco wasn't responing to him and clicked. I pictured each of them making heart eyes at each with talked "but I have you too." "yeah you got me".

    I like the growth of Cisco's powers over the course of story. His fun games training with Harry and superhero moments. When powers hurt him with dream vibes. I love Barry wants him be Superhero by his side but Cisco thought about and said 'not today but maybe another day'.

    I'm rambling so shut up now just finish by saying I love this and please write more Harrisco stories. I love way you write Harry and Cisco! Brilliant job!

    I was so sure Cisco was going to get shot when Wally, Cisco and Jesse were running in stairwell. Very happy that didn't happen.

    1. Oh my gosh, thanks for this: this is such a detailed and kind comment!

      I'm so glad you liked what I was trying to do with the alternate timeline! I felt like I couldn't write this ship, or these friendships, without Cisco getting some sort of catharsis, and the chance to call out people on all the terrible things that have happened to him. I think your assumption about Dante is fair: I envisioned Cisco giving him a vague explanation when reaching out to him, which prompts Dante to respond in kind. This fic was basically my excuse to write all the things I wanted to happen in canon: Harry and Barry apologizing, Cisco's powers, the Ramon brothers getting along, Cisco getting a fricking hug, etc. And of course the falling in love, haha.

      Thank you so so much for reading and for the comment!!
