I was working on fic about an alternate Sara and Leonard. Sara's a pink haired singer in a band called the Canaries and Leo's a movie star in a series of action films where he plays an spy. The Legends somehow get transported to that Earth and see an ad about alt-Sara's band playing at a charity event at Oliver Queen's mansion. Never got inspired enough to finish it or post it though.

Oh awesome. Too bad you haven't finished yet though. I remember before you mentioned that you wanted to work on a Captain Canary fic but you couldn't quite get down how to write Leonard's character...

Awesome story idea for sure

It definitely sounds like one.

Maybe I'll be inspired to work on it over the summer.

Also rocker Sara and action star Leo are engaged in my story. They were also going to meet Alt- Mick who was the pyrotechnics expert on Leo's movies.

^ That is for sure an AU storyline.

Q: I’m curious about your portrayal of Leo, or Citizen Cold from Earth-X in the Arrowverse. You’ve expressed disdain for being called “sweet” or having the idea of “gay best friend” applied to you. And I don’t believe that you are your characters, nor either are they you, though a part of you may be in each of them and vice versa. But Leo is, among other things… sweet. And I’m thinking of one scene in particular in Legends of Tomorrow where he has an arguably “gay best friend” interaction with White Canary... he gives her romantic advice and even goes so far as to say that he’s “Gay, not blind.” So I’m curious how much of Leo’s personality may have been imposed on you from the outside, from writers and directors who wanted to see the character a particular way and make the fangirls squee and tune in next week, and how much of him came from you and how you wanted to portray him... I wonder if you were enjoying playing up the campiness or chafing under attributes that you have specifically mentioned are so often used to be dismissive of gay men. Or both/and.

A: Queer characters garnishing straight ones - always the side dish, never the main - is not okay. AND, in the meantime, while shift happens (and I believe it is), we do what we can with what we have. Remember, in the crossover, when Leo says to White Canary, "Give it time... I'll get through that crusty exterior?" Originally he said that to Green Arrow. I read it, thought, "No offense to Stephen (whom I respect)... why would Leo give a ***** about Arrow? Why would he choose to puzzle that puzzle? Their relationship goes nowhere... Also, Canary is standing right there." She and Snart had history. And like Leo, she's queer. Redirecting Leo's attention toward Canary felt like a natural shift. Hence the added line ("I was talking to you").

That moment was then chosen by the CW as a button for one of the crossover teaser-trailers. Which was validating. Like the agreement Caity and I made to really claim our time onscreen together, make it (more) about us (and Snart), resonated beyond me and Caity.

**eternalfate** · 02-01-2019, 06:16 PM

They were really the highlight of season 1.

**Make Them Laugh** · 02-01-2019, 06:27 PM

**eternalfate** · 02-01-2019, 06:31 PM

^Yeah, i'll always wonder about how much they would have developed if Wentworth stayed around.

**Make Them Laugh** · 02-01-2019, 06:37 PM
