Why Her?
s02e06: Keep Your Enemies Closer. Introspection of why Oliver slept with Isabel brought upon by Felicity asking why he did it.
On AO3.
Ships: pre-slash Olicity
Warnings: implied/referenced dubcon
~~~
“Why her? I mean, besides the obvious leggy model reason,” she asks, the hurt clear in her voice. She can’t understand why he’d sleep with her, this woman who has been mean and rude to not just her, but to Oliver as well.
Oliver gets it. He does. Isabel Rochev is not a nice woman, not even pleasant either. She always has an angle she’s working, a way to use you and discard you after. She doesn’t care, she has a ladder to climb.
Despite what it looks like, Oliver isn’t being an idiot about it. He knows that Felicity thinks it is mostly because of the leggy model reason, but it isn’t. However, he doesn’t know how to explain to her why he did it. Not without revealing pieces of himself that he’d rather keep to himself.
He can’t tell her that Isabel accused him of sleeping with Felicity, of only giving her that promotion because she slept with him. As if Felicity has nothing else to offer, no talents that earned her a promotion. As if she isn’t right there by his side every single night protecting him.
Oliver wanted to protect her from those rumors the second he heard of them, because protecting Felicity has become one of his priorities in a scarily little amount of time.
But he doesn’t think she’d appreciate hearing that sleeping with Isabel would be a way to confirm that he didn’t go on this trip to sleep with Felicity. That it isn’t like that. That Felicity has earned her place there on professional merit.
He has been using his body to protect friends, to protect himself, long before Yao Fei and Slade Wilson taught him how to fight.
When he and Tommy drunkenly kissed at a party and gay rumors starting floating around that might get Tommy into hot water (not to mention Oliver himself), he was on the cover of a gossip rag three days later, plenty of models on his arms. He made sure one of them sold the story afterwards too, performed the hell out of that orgy.
How when old lady Duchard started getting handsy at one of the balls with Max Fuller who was clearly uncomfortable, Oliver turned her into a conquest. It’s not that bad if it’s his own design and she clearly didn’t care who she lured back as long as they were under twenty, but enough of an adult for her to not end up in court.
And when Thea started getting sexualized at the ripe old age of twelve, he punched paparazzi in the face. High publicity and Laurel not finding out about his cheating, because he actually loved her and didn’t want to do that to her. Not yet at least, not then.
Felicity can’t know these things about him. Can’t know that he slept with Isabel to protect her, because using his body is the only way he knows how. He knows what he looks like, he knows he can be charming, it’s just another asset and he’s happy to use it to keep his friends safe.
She’ll probably be upset if she knows. She’ll make him never do that again. But she doesn’t get that he doesn’t mind doing it. For him sex is just like a good work out, or a nice conversation. It’s just an action, nothing special. He enjoys sex the same way he enjoys good food. Not a necessity, but nice to have.
Sleeping with Isabel had never been his plan, but with the information he had, it was the best move to keep Isabel away from Felicity and the situation under control. Oliver likes it when he has a situation under control.
So, he goes with bits from the truth, since he’s always been bad at lying to her, showing her the pieces she expects to prevent her from searching for the pieces he wants to stay hidden. “It just kind of happened. It didn’t mean anything.”
Felicity looks upset by that. He never meant to upset her, he did it to make Isabel stop thinking about her like that. To keep her happy. Of course he failed at that.
“Hey,” he finds himself saying in a soft tone, unable to let it go. More honest than he has ever been with her or himself, he says: “With the life that I lead, I just think that it’s better to not be with someone that I could really care about.”
She looks at him for a moment, then nods, more to herself, before spinning her chair, getting up, circling him.
He stands there for a moment, taking a deep breath as he closes his eyes. The regret washes over him, but he doesn’t call out. Doesn’t set the record straight.
It wasn’t a lie when he said that not being with her was better. He can’t risk having that and messing it up. Despite who he is trying to become, he still carries so much darkness, while she is brightness personified. He doesn’t want to risk holding her when his hands are best at breaking.
Sleeping with Isabel was better. She is hardened to the world and he doesn’t care if he holds her too tight and leaves a few bruises on her hips. Sleeping with Isabel is just an action, sleeping with Felicity will be so much more, and he doesn’t think he can handle that. He is only good at using his body, he isn’t good at the everything else. And Felicity deserves everything else.
So, he lets go off all that regret and tries not to flinch when Felicity says: “Well, I think you deserve better than her.”
Because maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. Whatever it is, it was the best tactical move at the moment and just because he might deserve better than Isabel, doesn’t mean he’s worthy of someone like Felicity.
All he can do is watch her walk away and wonder: why her? Why did he have to meet someone as incredible as her? And why can’t he hold onto her the way he wants to? Why does he keep messing up when all he wants to do is keep her safe? Why is she the amazing IT specialist that has gotten caught up in all of this? Why not anyone else?
Why her?

This is one of the best Olicity fanfictions I've ever read. It's kind of a, what if Oliver and Felicity met before the island. It's also got an Ugly Betty theme to it.

Oh, the IDEAS ... so many WIPs with just this premise!
shipping two characters you love equally is difficult because on one hand, you want them both to be happy, but on the other, you want one of them to be put in danger and the other one to go absolutely batshitfucking insane to get them back

I know its been a literal decade since Arrow was good but I will never forget how Oliver and Sara had the same type in girls.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like they really like blonde smart girls with special interests.
Bonus: Sara also ends up with a blonde smart girl. (Anything after Arrow s5 is basically trash to me)

summary:
What if Oliver and Felicity met at ARGUS three years before Oliver Queen was found alive? What if they still fell in love, despite Oliver being at his darkest? What if Oliver Queen still came back to Starling City to right his father's wrongs? Only this time, with a wedding ring and a more emotionally stable mind-set?
teaser:
“I don't want to go anywhere without you.” He tells her, and he can see her melt at his words, an almost wordless ‘aww’ leaving her lips before she rolls over on top of him,
“It won't be for long. Just a couple of months and I'll join you.”
“And then we'll start a new life.”
“That's right. We'll buy our own place, and we'll paint the walls really bright, and have ridiculous amounts of throw pillows on our gigantic king sized bed-”
“-and we'll also have a proper wedding ceremony.” Oliver continues for her, and Felicity hmms,
“Maybe something outdoors. Or on the roof. A small ceremony with a few of our friends and family,”
“And no catering.” They grin at each other, and after a moment, Felicity's smile dims slightly as she traces her fingers along Oliver's hairline,

I just started an Arrow rewatch, so if I start posting a shit ton of Olicity content, that’s why. I figured I’d just give people a warning. 💚🏹👩‍💻

  It was a bright and sunny day and I was spending the day at the park with William. Olliver was working as Green Arrow right now. I knew he didn’t want to put William in danger, but the city needed a hero and that’s exactly what Oliver was. It took William a while to accept Oliver as the Green Arrow, but he eventually did. It took him being saved, and yes he was put in danger still after that, but Oliver would always save him. 
I was reading a book while William played soccer with some kids when my sunlight was suddenly blocked. I looked up confused and we met with a man in a suit that I’d never seen before. 
“Can I help you?” I asked and he smiled. 
“Possibly, are you Y/N Y/L/N?” He asked and my eyes widened. 
“Who are you?” I asked closing my book. 
“A friend of Oliver Queen.” He answered and smirked. My heart skipped a beat and I realized the danger far too late. He grabbed me and I tried to scream, but he covered my mouth with a wet cloth. I struggled as best I could, but he was much stronger than me. It wasn’t long before I was going limp and my vision was fading to black. 
*Oliver’s POV* 
Felicity and I were looking for Diaz, but haven’t gotten any hits. I always hated leaving William and Y/N since he’d already gone after my son before, but I needed to find him. 
“It’s like he’s a ghost Oliver.” Felicity said and I sighed. 
“I know…” I said, running a hand down my face. My phone started ringing and I saw it was William. 
“Hey buddy, what’s up?” I answered. 
“Dad! Y/N was taken!” He said, panicked. 
“What?” I asked, sitting up straighter. 
“We went to the park and I was playing soccer with some friends, but when I looked over I saw someone carrying her and she wasn’t awake.” He said. 
“William, I need you to tell me exactly what he looked like.” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. 
“He was wearing a suit and he had short black hair and a dragon tattoo near his ear.” He answered and my blood ran cold. 
“Diaz…” I whispered. Felicity shot her head over and looked at me with wide eyes. 
“Dad, is Y/N gonna be okay?” He asked worriedly. 
“She’s gonna be fine buddy. I’m gonna call your Aunt to pick you up okay?” I asked. 
“Okay.” He answered. 
“I’m gonna bring her home buddy, but you’re gonna stay with Thea for a bit until I do, okay?” I asked and he sighed. 
“Just bring her home, please…” He begged, it sounded like he was crying now. 
“I will I promise.” I said and hung up. I quickly called Thea and asked her to pick William up and explained what was going on. 
“Felicity, Diaz has Y/N and we need to work fast.” I said and she nodded. 
“What park were they at?” She asked. I thought for a second, I didn’t ask William, but I knew her favorite park. 
“I didn’t ask, but her favorite park is the one near Mario’s.” I answered and she nodded. She started hacking into the camera to see if she could see anything. 
“Got it!” She said after a few minutes. I looked over her shoulder to see Diaz putting her unconscious body in a van. He looked up at the camera and smirked. He knew we would find it… 
“Did he just…” 
“Yes.” I growled. 
“Smug bastard.” She said and tried to zoom in on the license plate. 
“Shit, he took the plates off.” She said and I groaned. Of fucking course he did. My phone rang and I looked over to see a blocked number calling me. 
“Hello?” I answered. 
“Oliver Queen! I’m assuming you’re little tech friend found the footage already and you saw me with your precious little Y/N.” Diaz said with a smirk. 
“If you do anything to her I swear I’ll-” 
“You’ll what? Kill me? Let’s face it Oliver, you wanna do that already.” He said and laughed. 
“What do you want for her.” I growled. 
“Giving in already? I thought you’d last a little longer.” He chuckled. 
“Diaz…” I growled. 
“I want you dead, Oliver. You’re in my fucking way of owning this damn city and as long as I have Y/N you’re gonna do exactly as I want.” He said and I growled. 
“You fucking touch her and I’ll kill you!” I said and he chuckled. 
“You’ll have to find me first.” He said and hung up. 
“Felicity tell me you go a location for that!” I said as she clicked the keys. 
“Not an exact, it was bouncing between towers.” She said and I threw a glass at the wall. 
“We need to find her now!” I shouted. 
“And we will, but you need to calm down.” She said and I sighed. I knew she was right, but this is my wife we’re talking about. 
*Y/N’s POV* 
I woke up with a headache and my wrists chained to a pole. Once I got my bearings and my head settled a bit, I attempted to escape. Unfortunately that only resulted in my wrists being raw. I sighed and slumped against the wall and just waited. 
After some time I heard the door open and looked up to see the man that kidnapped me. He had a smirk on his face and his hands were behind his back. 
“Glad to see you awake, Y/N.” He said and I narrowed my eyes at him. 
“Who the hell are you?” I asked. 
“Well don’t you have a mouth on you.” He said and pulled one of his hands in front of him. It was a set of keys. 
“I’ll unlock your wrists if you’re a good girl.” He said and I rolled my eyes. 
“Who are you?” I asked again. 
“Ricardo Diaz.” He said and my eyes widened. 
“Ah so Oliver’s talked about me, how sweet.” He said. 
“W-What do you want?” I asked and silently cursed myself for stuttering. 
“I want Oliver out of the picture. And with you here, he won’t be worrying about the other stuff I’m doing.” He said. 
“Now, let’s get you out of these cuffs, hmm?” He asked and walked towards me. I eyed him suspiciously, because why the hell would he let me out of the cuffs without a catch? He knelt down and smiled at me. He placed the keys on the floor next to him and I furrowed my brow. He pulled his other hand in front of him and my eyes widened. It was a fucking collar. He quickly grabbed my hair and pushed the collar onto my neck. I tried my best to keep away from him, but he was stronger and locked it around my neck.
“What? You didn’t actually think I would just unlock the cuffs without a way to keep you under control, did you?” He asked and chuckled. He picked up the keys and unlocked my wrists. I pulled them to my chest and gently rubbed the raw skin. 
“Now, be a good little bitch and you won’t get hurt.” He said and I glared at him. 
“Tell me where your little husband’s hideout is.” He said and I scoffed. 
“Like I would ever tell you.” I said, sneering at him. He smirked and reached into his pocket. I felt a painful shock shoot through my neck and I screamed in pain. It stopped after a few seconds and I looked up at him in horror. He pulled a remote out of his pocket and smirked. 
“Like I said, be a good little bitch and you won’t get hurt.” He said, waving the remote around. 
“Now let’s try this again. Where is Oliver’s hideout?” He asked. 
Hours later I was laying on the floor with my tears staining the concrete. The pain was intense and I was trembling uncontrollably from the aftershocks. 
“Where is Oliver’s hideout?” He asked again. I didn’t even have the strength to answer anymore. I just laid on the floor, gasping for air and letting the tears fall to the floor. Every part of my body hurt from the electricity running through my system. I was surprised I hadn’t passed out yet. There was a soft click and my whole body started to convulse again. I screamed and withered on the floor, my throat already raw the screams were almost silent at this point. It felt like it would never end, but about a minute later the collar stopped. Diaz let me recover again before shaking his head at me. 
“Come on Y/N, Oliver Queen can’t be worth all this.” He said, crouching down to my level. I took a deep breath and looked up at him. 
“Oliver is ten times the man you’ll ever be…” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. He shook his head and sighed. 
“You’re not getting it.” He said and pressed the button once more. I screamed as the electricity made its way through my body. The pain was becoming more and more unbearable. I felt every single muscle contracting, my teeth clenching so hard it felt like they might break, my eyes rolling to the back of my head again. Finally, the collar turned off again and I laid there gasping for air. Diaz looked down at me with anger and annoyance. 
“You’re fucking stubborn huh?” He said and stood up. 
“How about I make you a deal?” He asked and I weakly looked up at him. 
“You tell me what I want to know and I promise that once Oliver Queen is dead, you and William will be safe. I won’t do anything to either of you, hell I’ll even make sure the two of you are protected.” He said and my heart clenched at the thought of William. There’s no way he has him too, right? 
“What’d you say, Y/N? Deal?” He asked. 
“Screw you…” I said, voice still nothing more than a whisper. He sighed and pushed the button again. 
“Have it your way.” He said as I screamed in pain once again. 
*An hour later* 
There was a loud bang and Diaz looked at the door behind him. We heard shouting and gunshots. Oliver. He looked back down at me and growled. 
“Thought it would take him longer to find you.” He said, annoyed. He cracked his neck and pulled a gun out of his pocket. 
“I’ve got something to take care of, for once be a good little bitch and stay put.” He said and left the room. I could hardly move as the aftershocks slowly stopped. At this point, I wasn’t sure if I was flinching because of the shocks or the loud gunshots. I couldn’t focus on anything so I didn’t notice when it grew eerily quiet. It wasn’t until I heard footsteps rushing closer to me that I realized. I tried to move, but I was so weak. I felt my eyes slowly closing as my body finally got to relax. I heard the door open and someone saying my name. I couldn’t make out who it was, but I felt them pulling the collar off and lifting me into their arms. I faded to black as someone carried me away from the cell. 
*Oliver’s POV* 
I sat next to Y/N as she laid in the hospital bed. She had electric burns on her neck and her body was incredibly weak. The doctors said they were shocked that she was even breathing with how much electricity she had coursing through her. They said it would take a little while, but she would be okay. Diaz was lucky he was already dead or I would strap that fucking collar to his neck until he was dead. 
Y/N’s hand twitched and I shot my head up to look at her face. She stirred slightly and slowly opened her eyes. They quickly closed again and she groaned. 
“Y/N? Honey?” I asked and she slowly opened her eyes again. She looked over at me and her eyes widened. 
“I-Is this real?” She asked in a whisper. I nodded and grabbed her some water. I held the straw up to her lips and she gulped half the glass down. 
“Thank you.” She said, her voice still weak, as I placed the water back down. 
“You shouldn’t thank me. I’m the reason this happened to you…” I said, gripping her hand and kissing her knuckles. 
“But you saved me.” She said with a small smile. 
“You can’t keep getting put in danger because of me, Y/N.” I said with tears in my eyes. 
“Oliver, I knew the risks when you told me. I also told you that you wouldn’t be getting rid of me no matter what. This is no different.” She said and I let a tear fall. 
“Look at you. You were fucking electrocuted because of me! I should have never gone back to this life…” I said and she gently lifted my face to look at her. 
“You’re a hero, Oliver Queen. Everyone in the city needs you to stop people like Diaz.” She said and I shook my head. 
“You and William are more important the the city.” I said and she smiled. 
“Is William okay?” She asked and I nodded. 
“He’s fine, he’s with Thea.” I answered and she sighed in relief. 
“Thank God…” She said and slowly closed her eyes. 
“Get some rest, I’m not going anywhere.” I said and kissed her hand.
“I love you…” She whispered before she fell asleep. 
“I love you too honey… I promise I’ll protect you next time…” I whispered and held her hand a bit tighter.
