“Why does it always have to be you?”

[bri-617]

I don’t want to watch Arrow 7x22

I really don’t.

And I really do.

But once I watch it, it’s over.

Once I watch it, Arrow is officially finished. (On TV, obviously it’ll live on in fanfics and GIFs and other fan art)

Here’s to the last episode of Arrow I’ll ever watch. Here’s to Olicity and OTA!

Here’s to EBR and SA and their stupid, insane chemistry.

I’ll miss you. I’ll really, really miss you!

[bri-617]

well, this fic isn’t going to write itself, but i’m going to wait a bit longer to make sure. 

[bri-617]

[bri-617]

me: I’m so excited to write this fic, it’s going to be good, I love it, I’m so pumped

*writes it in head before sleeping, gets emotional over songs that could fit the story, elaborates background and characterisations, writes lines on phone*

also me, in front of laptop: yeah, but no, I’ve got nothing

[bri-617]

Going through old fanfic notes...

Just found one of my old notebooks and it’s just a fucking goldmine... Aside from my notes on my travels (I absolutely forgot that I wrote down stuff about my trips in Ecuador!) I found chapter outlines and timelines for Love Is A Kind Of Warfare, Across The Highs The Lows And The In-Betweens, and Start Of Something New.

Turns out my working title for SOSN was “Neighbors AU” (super creative) and Oliver was the quarterback for the Starling City Archers instead of being an actor.... uh, what? I don’t even remember considering that. And my first draft notes are so ridiculous... :D

Methinks I should start writing stuff down again.

Best of all: I found an old list of ideas for Olicity fics with 30+ prompts/ideas I wrote down over the years that I might actually have another look at

[bri-617]

wow...

for once, I have no words...

The Green Arrow appears to be losing his leading lady, with Arrow star Emily Bett Rickards announcing that she will depart the superhero drama ahead of its eighth and final season. TVLine has reached out to The CW to confirm.

Rickards posted the shocking announcement to Instagram on Saturday, which in part reads, “Felicity and I are a very tight two, but after one through seven we will be saying goodbye to you.”

Arrow costar Colton Haynes commented on Rickards’ post, saying, “You will be missed my love. So happy this journey brought us together.”

Chateau de Chenonceau, France (by bloomsday616)

[bri-617]

I’m actually really digging the darker background color...

[bri-617]

did you change your name on ao3?

Hey Anon,

no, I haven’t changed it! I’m still only posting on AO3 as bri617 and on fanfiction.net under the same name.

I did change my url here, but that’s it. ;-)

Thanks for the rec, @hope-for-olicity! :) :)

Fabulous Olicity Fanfic Friday - January 18th, 2019

Happy Friday! So this is my attempt to both thank awesome fanfic writers for their amazing work and offer my recommendations to anyone who is interested. Here are the fantastic fanfic stories I read this week! They are posted in the order I read them. This and all previous Fabulous Olicity Fanfic posts can be found on my blog.

Will Fate Allow? multi-chapter WIP by @mindramblingsfics - Seeing her parent’s marriage dissolve at a young age made Felicity yearn for a healthy marriage of her own. She thought she’d finally found what she was looking for when Billy Malone showed up offering her what her heart desired. She thought she was happy and had everything she could want, but things began to unravel. Slowly she turned to someone who had become an unparalleled constant in her life��Oliver Queen. Oliver and Felicity are the definition of polar opposites. He is the mob boss that strikes fear in the hearts many, while she is seen as the sweet girl next door, but there is more to both of them underneath the surface. Along the way, they become connected to one another leading to their lives being intertwined forever. https://archiveofourown.org/works/16521596/chapters/38699951

And So The Adventure Begins multi-chapter WIP by @mindramblingsfics - Felicity spent her first year of college focused solely on her studies. In year two, with the convincing of her best friends Iris and Sara, she lets her hair down a bit. Oliver spent his first year partying with his wingman Tommy and living up to the status that came with his last name. He realizes he should buckle down focus on the most important part: actual school. Oliver and Felicity meet, and even though they are on different ends of the spectrum, they don’t realize that they can each bring out hidden parts of one another. https://archiveofourown.org/works/15800025/chapters/36771018

Mine at Midnight - Oneshot: The Game Changer by @smoaking-greenarrow - Felicity and Oliver’s push them together again at Caitlin and Ronnie’s wedding https://archiveofourown.org/works/13131783/chapters/40510457

Mine at Midnight - The Things That Just Are by @smoaking-greenarrow - A lovely look into Oliver and Felicity’s family time https://archiveofourown.org/works/13131783/chapters/40561988

give me something (to hold on to) (Season 6B) by @dust2dust34-reblogs - Felicity goes out of town for a few days and comes back to find Oliver’s cut his hair. She is not happy about it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/11888871/chapters/31505925

Succumbing to Shadows by @allimariexf - Wordlessly, Oliver lifted her hand to his lips, placing a series of soft kisses over her knuckles. Unable to stop herself, she looked up and met his eyes, but for once she couldn’t read their expression. He was probably just trying to maintain their cover. But what if he wasn’t? She looked back toward the driveway as the Ferrari pulled up, her heart beating fast. And what if he was? https://archiveofourown.org/works/17256743

Home To You multi-chapter WIP by @the-shy-and-anxious-fangirl - Oliver Queen has never done what his family expected of him. He took a gap year after high school instead of going to college right away. He quit his fraternity sophomore year to join the student newspaper, switching his major from business to journalism. He became a photojournalist for a wire service instead of taking a place at Queen Consolidated. He went missing after six months instead of coming home for his sister’s twenty-first birthday. He survived five years of captivity in a war zone when everyone thought he was dead. He came home. But home didn’t have a place for him in it anymore. His parents were both dead, casualties of their own mistakes and a city they had turned against them. His sister was all grown up, the CEO of Queen Consolidated with a fiancé and a dog and a life of her own. Oliver didn’t belong in his old life, but there was nowhere else for him to go. He was a man without a home, without any way of finding one, until he stopped by the IT department of his sister’s company to get files off an old, battered memory card, and found a woman with curly blonde hair and bright, intelligent eyes chewing on a bright red pen and swearing at a computer screen. https://archiveofourown.org/works/12613188/chapters/28734552

You Were Mine (Just For One Night) by @bri-617 - AU They met at a frat party in Boston. Two completely different people -the genius goth girl and the billion-dollar-heir fratboy- and yet, neither of them had ever felt a connection with anyone else like they did during their one and only night together. Ten years later, they meet again. And that spark from back then is still very much there. Will they finally act on their chemistry or will they let another chance pass? https://archiveofourown.org/works/17276699

It’s the End of the World As We Know It by @imusuallyobsessed - It’s been nine months since the zombie apocalypse. Oliver and John are just trying to get back to Starling. Back to their families. If they’re even alive. But along the way, they meet Felicity Smoak, a genius with a mysterious past and an impossible power. One that people would die—or kill—to protect. https://archiveofourown.org/works/17273426

Olicity Dialogue Prompt: Oh My God, You’re In Love With Her by @originalhybridloverfics - From Thea’s point of view, Oliver and Felicity are in a car accident https://originalhybridloverfics.tumblr.com/post/181659680109/olicity-dialogue-prompt-oh-my-god-youre-in-love

Penned with an Arrow - “A” Game multi-chapter WIP by @faegal04 - This is the first in a series of drabbles for the Olicity fandom. I will mark where in the show they will fall. This first one is from Season 3, episode 2 “Sara”. I have a list of quotes that I have written down and this one just spoke out to me that it fit within this episode. https://faegal04.tumblr.com/post/181710087919/penned-with-an-arrow

Thriving in Low Light multi-chapter WIP by @allimariexf - I know who you are. You’re Mr. Queen. (Set sometime in the not-too-distant future) https://archiveofourown.org/works/17303984/chapters/40700315

The Queen’s Mage multi-chapter Complete by @the-shy-and-anxious-fangirl - Words have power, and mages, those with the aptitude to draw on that power, are few in number. Thus, their services are highly sought after by anyone who has exhausted all mundane means of solving whatever problem is plaguing them. Felicity is reminded of this fact the hard way when she is hired by Moira Queen, the Lady Starling, to find and return to her son Oliver, who fled his family home five years ago following the death of his father. With a threat hanging over her should she return without Robert Queen’s heir, Felicity begins her search. When she finds Oliver, and ends up joining his vigilante crusade while she waits for him to decide whether to return home, the last thing she expects to do is fall in love with him. https://archiveofourown.org/works/14617068/chapters/33781269

Olicity Dialogue Prompt: You’re Too Good For Me by @originalhybridloverfics - Felicity gives Oliver an ultimatum https://originalhybridloverfics.tumblr.com/post/181752131519/olicity-dialogue-prompt-youre-too-good-for-me

P.S. Hong Kong: Was it Real?!? multi-chapter WIP by @cruzrogue for Olicity trope-tastic award: Fake Marriage - This is off season 3 Flashbacks. When Tommy goes to Hong Kong he doesn’t go alone he takes his friend Felicity as the best information system being to help him locate Oliver Queen. Tommy may leave empty handed but Felicity gets to be a bride… https://archiveofourown.org/works/15025697/chapters/34832747

From Somewhere Within multi-chapter WIP by @smoaking-greenarrow - Their connection has always felt natural to them, safe and secure. But others tend to fear what they don’t understand, and as far as their enemies are concerned, the world isn’t ready to accept two people who can know each other the way that Oliver and Felicity do. https://archiveofourown.org/works/16009244/chapters/37356257

Penned with an Arrow 2 - Red multi-chapter WIP by @faegal04 - This is the second story in Olicity drabble series. It goes back to the first season and our iconic meeting of our duo. https://faegal04.tumblr.com/post/181787920529/penned-with-an-arrow-2

Pieces of Always multi-chapter WIP by @so-caffeinated and @dust2dust34-reblogs - Life continues after Forever is Composed of Nows. Ongoing non-linear collection of family moments for the Queens. http://archiveofourown.org/works/8220479/chapters/18840356

Arrow Out of Context multi-chapter WIP by @smoaking-greenarrow -  “In case you haven’t noticed, I am not most girls" https://archiveofourown.org/works/14957309/chapters/40835960

Nothing Breaks Like a Heart multi-chapter WIP by @by-mintsea - Oliver and Felicity struggle to reconnect after they leave Slabside. There is a lifetime of hurt festering inside both of them, but with the events of 7x08 and Elseworlds turning their lives upside down, can they figure everything out between them in time for William’s return? (All the in between things we should have seen on screen in 7x08 and Elseworlds instead of what the writers gave us). https://archiveofourown.org/works/17221298/chapters/40496489

Once Upon Starling Woods by @cruzrogue - The prompt: I really want to read: -“inset me” • “You laughed in a restaurant but you have an ugly laugh and I thought you were choking, so I spent the last three minutes awkwardly humping you while performing the Heimlich maneuver” AU 1. which leads to having to get married because it’s a custom ritual of some dry humping tradition. 2. The person does land up choking but someone else has to save them because it’s now an endearing noise. 3. The end! https://archiveofourown.org/works/17354903

seemingly impossible (but not untrue) multi-chapter WIP by @alexiablackbriar13 - Young genius historian Dr Felicity Smoak unknowingly and accidentally calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript within the Oxford Bodleian Libraries - a book that has been lost for centuries. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Felicity wants nothing to do with magic, despite her unruly and powerful abilities. But her discovery of Ashmole 782 sets the world of creatures stirring; with a mystery afoot and new, dangerous magical abilities manifesting for her to navigate, she is approached by the enigmatic vampire biochemist Professor Oliver Queen, who seems to have a deep interest in both the manuscript… and her. Based on A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. https://archiveofourown.org/works/16224353/chapters/37923743

Sorry for the delay in response, but this somehow got lost in my notifications....

Thank youuuuuuuuu so much!!!! :) :)

Sooooo, I’m back? Thanks for the encouragement, @emeraldoliverqueen!

Happy New Year!

I come bearing gifts and with a new url :)

Summary: They met at a frat party in Boston. Two completely different people -the genius goth girl and the billion-dollar-heir fratboy- and yet, neither of them had ever felt a connection with anyone else like they did during their one and only night together.

Ten years later, they meet again.

And that spark from back then is still very much there.

Will they finally act on their chemistry or will they let another chance pass?

Happy reading, everybody! Also on fanfiction.net!
