wonderwall May 24, 2015 Share May 24, 2015 Anyone else who were curious as to how Oliver and Felicity got back to PT after she saved him in the ATOM suit should read this fic. Actually, anyone who is a fan of this couple and want to read the fluffiest little fic in the world should read it. It's glorious. http://wagamiller.tumblr.com/post/119788219335/what-happens-now-like-logistically My most favorite line: Felicity realises after ten blocks that walking back was a bad idea.

I really enjoy the ones that pull some details from the show and mix the info in the messages (like mentions of red wine, fear of heights and kangaroos, etc.) Smoak and Arrow also has this ongoing thing where Felicity apparently keeps track of Malcolm's shenanigans. It's hilarious. 2 Link to comment

Yours was wonderful. It was the perfect balance between angst and fluff.

Just stumbled across that one. And I am loving it!! I really like the Bratva being part of the OQ mythos on the show, I find it so intriguing that he somehow became a Capt in the Russian mafia in only a few months at the most only 1-2 years. But so many of the fan fics make him so possessive & OOC in the stories that it becomes hard to want to read them. Or they almost all include an arranged marriage (which personally just feels tropy at times) or are too AU for me. That being said, I am always searching for good Bratva stories. But RQ seems to still keep the characters on par with their TV character counterparts. Its just a good read with some decent plot twisting. I almost skipped it because of the whole blackmail marriage, which did feel a little flimsy at first. But I'm so glad I looked past that and continued, because now I'm glued to a really awesome fic now. Another painful wait for updates commences. Also recommend her http://archiveofourown.org/works/1105202/chapters/2223519We Might be Hollow (but we're brave). It's more throwback set & written in s2 w/ Slade & Shado, also FS has a different family set-up, but still it was a good read and I enjoyed the characterizations. 1 Link to comment

statsgirl June 1, 2015 Share June 1, 2015 You Can Find Me Where the Music Meets the Ocean is an AU by Riley Scott where Tommy invites his reluctant girlfriend Laurel along with Sara and her friend Felicity to his beach house for the summer vacation, and they all deal with the Oliver/Sara fallout. (It sounds better than what I've said.) I'm reccing it because the writer made me like and understand Laurel, and because it has the Oliver/Laurel conversation the show should have had, 2 Link to comment
Ang June 2, 2015 Share June 2, 2015 (edited) So I just wanted to recommend everyone read this fic because it's really fantastic: And Then It Ends, Your Little Winning Streaks by MachaSWicket http://archiveofourown.org/works/2697035/chapters/6035795 Honestly one of the best fics I've read. It's brutal but so, so good.I enjoyed Reluctant Queen, too! I've been (embarrassed and) surprised at how many of my favorite fics include the marriage trope, but some of them are just really well done. I like What Happened in Vegas... for its independent, intelligent, savvy Felicity. I think my favorite is Mrs. Cupid, though. It's really well written, and it just fits with my take on early/mid S2; like, I could see it actually happening like this with the characters (eh, maybe not Sara but it's fun anyway) we saw on screen (IMO both Felicity and Oliver were pretty clueless about the state of their own feelings then; I've said it before, but these are not the most introspective of people). It sounds like the author may be able to work on it this summer. Fingers crossed! ETA: I started the fic @statsgirl recommended, and I'm intrigued and will finish it, but: does anyone else get hung up on writers' glaring grammatical foibles? By the fourth use of "her and [blank]" my teeth were hurting. It's especially painful when everything else seems to be in order. I just have to remind myself that a ton of these writers are just kids, some of them are writing in a language that is not their first, and almost none of them are professional authors, which is super impressive. It's fascinating, really, looking at the variety you can get working with the same characters, settings, plots, tropes, and story lines (plus what you can infer about a writer - I do try to avoid smut, but I'm positive I've read sex scenes written by virgins, and it's funny when you can tell they're being influenced by reading other's fic - everybody's always "huffing a laugh" and "licking the seam" of someone's lips, which, frankly, is not the most appealing kissing technique I've come across, in writing or real life). I hope I'm not coming across as too snotty here, but this is all new for me. I've never really read fanfic before now, and it's fun. :-) Edited June 2, 2015 by Ang 1 Link to comment

Since receiving my delightful Oliver Queen Funko Pop! I can’t help but be frustrated that there isn’t a Felicity Smoak figure to join him. Here are some little scenes I’ve created to illustrate poor Oliver’s situation. How can his partner be missing?

kismet June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Since I was talking about Tommy in the Hopes/Fears section.. I thought I would come here for some recommendations: Does anyone know of any good fan fic that includes live versions of Tommy? I really enjoyed Smoak & Merlyn. I think Tommy & Felicity would have been really good friends & allies against some of OQs antics. But I never really saw them as potential lovers. I try to search for them, but sometimes he still is really only there to die, which defeats the reason I want to read about him. I stumbled across a pretty good but old O/F fanfic Broken, that way, but it had little to no Tommy. Link to comment
lemotomato June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 (edited) I really liked "When the Day Comes", which is a canon-divergent take on what happens after the season 1 finale, if Tommy had just been hurt rather than killed. Lots of good team interaction. http://archiveofourown.org/works/3350003/chapters/7329302 There's also "Technical Assistance", which is a season 1 rewrite with occasional appearances by Tommy, but I don't know how you feel about stories that are 57+ chapters and counting: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1359190/chapters/2838451 Edited June 10, 2015 by lemotomato Link to comment
kismet June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Thanks lemotomato! I will check these out. Length does not bother me if they are well written & engaging, esp now that I figured out a proper bookmarking system. The ChronicOlicity stories are perfect examples of stories that are worth the investment. Sometimes longer is better, because I can actually step away & return. When they are short, you just want to finish them - which leads to a lot of distraction from things I should really be doing. Although I am starting to see the wisdom of reading only completed stories. There are some that are in my bookmark cue, that are just teasing me that they haven't been finished or updated.
