Olicity Tropetastic Awards: Season Seven
The time has come to talk of many scenes.
Of bows and arrows and superheroes.
Olicity’s reunion and the baby we knew was a Queen.
But wait just one minute,
Before we go and do all of that…
We thank you all for the time you have shared.
The elevators you have climbed,
The episodes you have faced and scared.
We will keep your stories in our hearts for always,
And we hope that you can too.
Because they would not be bigger than the friggin’ universe
-xoxo Ellie, Caitlin, Sascha, Mary, Beccie, Meegan, and Alli (and of course Emily Bett Rickards since she wrote this poem first;) )

Run Away With Me - @dmichellewrites
This is basically everything I hoped season 7 would be after the prison arc, but unfortunately we didn’t get to see it.
Join Oliver, Felicity, their friends, and family as they navigate their lives together post-Slabside. They really can have it all. Watch them balance being heroes, parents, and still manage to hold down day to day jobs. Enjoy their slice of maximum domesticity, and take a peek into their home life together with their four children.

The Other Side (of a world without you) - fanfics4you
She stares at the sky, the moon staring back at her. She holds her daughter in her arms as she starts to talk about him. She hopes wherever he is, he is safe. She hopes that he knows. That she still loves him, that he has a daughter who loves him so much, a son who lives far away from this world, leading the normal life he always wanted. She hopes that he knows he isn’t alone.
He stares at the sky, his fingers caressing his wedding ring gently. The night is full of darkness and he feels so lonely. He has everything here, yet he has nothing. He sees a shooting star fall from the sky, and he finally smiles. His hold on his wedding ring tightens as he reminds himself why is he doing this again. He knows.
In which Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak spend twenty years apart and then a lifetime together.

@it-was-a-red-heeler’s recs:
bliss within madness - @alexiablackbriar13
“Hey, Mia. It’s your dad,” he whispered. Pausing, he added, “Mia or Lucas. We don’t know exactly who you are yet. But I promise you, your mom and I are gonna love you to the stars and back no matter who you turn out to be. I’m gonna call you Mia for now, though.” He kissed Felicity’s stomach softly, humming under his breath at the heat coming from her skin.
**Award: Best Beautiful, Blissful Domestic Olicity Moments**
Clean Slate - @smoakmonster
What happens when Oliver loses his memories of Felicity and William? How will this hurting family heal when he finally returns home from prison and doesn’t know who his wife and son are?
This series is based on speculation from the Arrow 7x05 trailer that was released on Nov 5. As such, this short series will start in speculation and will likely shift to canon divergence or even au depending on what happens in the next few episodes. Future tags will be added accordingly.
**Award: Oliver Fighting His Way Back to His Family (Amnesia Tropes Are My Jam!) Award**
no heart for me like yours - inlovewithimpossibility
After weeks of chaos following Oliver’s release from Slabside, Oliver and Felicity finally have a moment to sit down and discuss how they move forward from here
**Award: Best Gorgeous, Sleepy and Oh-So-Wise Oliver Moment**
Deep Water - @it-was-a-red-heeler
A Season 7 Speculation fic.
**Award: THE BEST S7a Do-Over (also the Delicity We All Deserved)**
He hadn’t really even noticed there was a change in Felicity until the chaos died down, and even then it took him a couple of weeks to look past the excuses and the way she brushed off his attempts to talk. When he kissed her she pulled away almost immediately. When he reached for her hands she found a way to keep them busy. When he’d make his way to their bed at night, she would make an excuse to stay up and every morning when he woke up she was already gone from beside him. He told himself they were both readjusting. Things needed time to settle. They’d both been through so much.
**Award: Most Beautiful Reunion That We All Wanted But Never Really Got In Canon**
@smoaking-greenarrow’s recs:
Post Episode 7x07 ficlet about the first hours after Oliver stepped out of the gates of Slabside.

This first bit leads into the story we might never get and I wanted to explore the loneliness Felicity must have felt and the urgency she would feel to go and find him once she could.
**Award: Epitome of ‘Bigger than the friggin’ universe’**
Learning How to Win - @juvinadelgreko
At the end of Arrow S7, Oliver and Felicity retire from the vigilante life only to be interrupted by the Monitor and Crisis on Infinite Earths.
They deserved better. Here’s my take on what better looks like. Begins shortly after Oliver and Felicity moved into their new home.
**Award: Sweetest Life Win That Olicity Deserves**
No Sex Until There Is Hair - @hope-for-olicity
Oliver shaves his head again and Felicity is NOT a fan.
**Award: Best Felicity Completely Understanding Oliver Moment**
Holding On and Letting Go - @smoaking-greenarrow
Oliver is finally home. But he’s not as close to his wife as he’d like to be. To move past the choices he made, both of them need to get a few things off their chests.
This fic can be enjoyed on its own, but if you’ve read The Longbow Hunters, it can also be read as an epilogue for that story.
**Award: Best And Most Sincere Apology By Oliver Queen**
The Longbow Hunters - @smoaking-greenarrow
Based on the set photos from 7x02 and my imagination :)
**Award: Most Badass Felicity With A Plan**
