I recently saw a few of those Imagine Your OTP things somewhere and some of them were giving me some major Captain Canary vibes so I thought I might write one. I gave myself the added challenge of keeping it under a page (which was really difficult for me because as we all know, I'm a bit of a rambler). Anyway, here it is!


One day, when the mission to save the world was long over and Sara and Leonard had been living in their blue house with fake shutters for a few years, Leonard returned home from helping out Team Flash to see that Sara had gotten a hammock. She'd hung it between two trees in the backyard and had already piled a few blankets and pillows from inside the house on it.

"I see you got yourself a new toy while I was away," Leonard called to Sara as he idly crossed the lawn to where she'd hung the hammock.

"Mm-hmm," Sara nodded, smiling up at him. She held up a paperback copy of The Book Thief, gesturing for him to get on the hammock. He sighed before submitting and climbing in next to her. He took the book and opened it to the page they left off on.

A few weeks ago, Leonard had been reading The Book Thief at night before he went to bed, and Sara had been reading over his shoulder. It lasted about five minutes until she complained that he read faster than her and asked him to just read the story out loud. Since then, he'd read a few chapters every night until Sara fell asleep. They were nearly halfway done now.

Leonard began to read in a soft voice, quickly falling into the natural rhythm of the book. Sara curled into his side, placing her head on his chest and listening to the steady vibrations of his words. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, gently running his fingers through her hair. He let one leg hang over the side of the hammock, his foot on the grass so he could rock Sara and himself back and forth.

He'd gotten through a couple chapters when he realized that the weight of Sara on his chest had begun to feel a bit heavier. He looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep, her breathing even and her mouth drooping open. Still rocking the hammock, he shut the book, placed a gentle kiss on Sara's forehead, and closed his own eyes.


I hope you enjoyed! I know it was super short, but there's nothing wrong with that. You might see more Imagine Your OTP things for CC in this future because this one was really fun!
