Everlasting Light
by: more0rLessJess
Summary: All Felicity Smoak wants is to make her own choices. All Lord Oliver Queen wants is to raise his son after spending nearly five years abroad to help restore his family reputation that he helped to destroy by having a child out of wedlock. When Felicity turns down a proposal from a titled Lord (since her family, while rich, isn’t titled) her father is livid. When Oliver shows no interest in marriage in order to have a legitimate heir, his father (The Duke of Starling) isn’t thrilled. Their solution? Marry their children to each other so each man can get what they want. Neither Felicity nor Oliver are happy about it in the slightest. But while it starts as something they’re forced into, it might just turn out to be the most freeing thing neither of them expected. Aka the historical arranged marriage Olicity AU.

Pink Fluffy Unicorns
by: griever11

key lime pie

(Or, at a charity gala meant to be gathering donations to help fund a Youth Clinic in the Glades, Moira, Diggle, and a few cheery businessmen get to witness the sheer lack of awareness Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak have when it comes to understanding just who they are to each other.

by: more0rLessJess

For her family. Aka the post series finale fix it that I rage wrote right after watching 8×10. Also I might’ve taken the Dark Knight ending. I’m sorry (not really).
