This was great. How would you feel about writing another but making Caitlin the center of the issue. Let her self harm. It seems she is always so strong watching everyone she cares about being hurt. It might be a way for her to break and Barry to comfort her.

Ew idk how to delete reviews but I meant hadn't died not whatever I said. Anyway, I love Thallen thank you for your amazing writing

Aw they're so cute! Eddie is my favorite I wish he didn't die!

Awww T.T please tell me you are going to cotinue this

Great look into the psychology of a superhero - the mental and emotional stress must be incredible, so it is geat to read of the support that is offered by close friends. I also like how the struggle of both characters is verbalized. They stutter, they misunderstand each other, they don't know what to do but they try their best... it shows well the impact that personal struggles can have on those close around them. It isn't just Barry that is struggling.

Is it wrong that I'm crying

Hi. Your stories are very good, your is fantastic. I'm actually here with a request, if that's ok. I thought of a story where Barry gets very depressed, like it's his mom's birthday and he can't see his dad and gets in a fight with someone. So he runs to Starling City to get away, and has a moment where he wants to kill himself. So he tries, but is caught by Oliver. Like Arrow was doing his rounds, and sees him. I prefer best friends, cause that's what they are on the shows and it works with them. I would love to see how you think the Arrow would react to this, you know being who he is. I think you wrote their friendship in pain management great, which is why I thought of you first. Thank you for reading this, sorry it was so long. Have a great week, thanks again.

As someone who has seriously thought about self-harm and suicide at a few points in their life, I actually really hated how Eddie handled the situation in the first chapter. I understand Eddie's rationale and that he wants to avoid reinforcing negative behaviour, but when you're that low, being delivered an ultimatum like that that makes things worse, not better. If I had been Barry in that situation, I'd probably either panic or shut down. I'd want to hurt myself MORE, not less. It's not like taking away a child's favourite toy for misbehaviour. It's offering comfort, and then once they've come to rely on it saying, 'If you don't change the way you act and feel, I'm taking that comfort away; you don't deserve it'. Eddie's intentions are obviously good, but his methods leave something to be desired.

That being said, I think you did much better with the second chapter. Genuine reassurance and talking it through is better than authoritative threatening.

I really do think you should continue this story; I'd never tell you to stop writing. But in the future, I'd advise you to think a little more about your audience and what message you're putting out there.

hey i love this piece its so cute and sad, as is all your writing its some of the best flash fic could find and finding good fic is really hard so please keep up the good work

i also come with a request i would try writing this myself but i'm crap at that but i was thinking the other night would barry have a fear of storms/lighting like maybe as a kid once he saw "lightning" murder his mom he would panic when a storm came and he eventually got over it but then when he got hit by lighting for a while it brought his fear back... idk its just an idea that i'm giving you i dont want to force you to write it or anything, just an idear

;) continue

So perfect! More please!

Its awsome,dude,please continue,cant wait for more here

Continue!

You should read come morning light its awesome
