It’s been a while since we’ve done a rec list! We thought now was a great time to celebrate our favorite fictional couple, our amazing fic writers, and the start of our summer. So, if you’re looking for a good beach read to enjoy the sunshine with, we’ve got you!
The Strings We Attach (chapters: 8/8)
Summary: Felicity Smoak knows that sleeping with the boss's son goes against the rules of her summer internship at Queen Consolidated in about a hundred different ways. She knows, but it doesn't matter.
Summary: A very quickly written prompt fill for the Olicity Summer Sizzle prompt "Jealous". Set in the summer after season 3 when Oliver and Felicity are on their trip around the world together.
Not So Innocent (chapters: 14/14)
Summary: "I thought you were literally the most innocent thing to ever exist but then you awkwardly ask me to teach you how to bang like a pro and holy hell but now I'm really, really turned on" a/u.
When We Were Young (chapters: 8/?)
Summary: Felicity didn't expect to fall in love her last summer before MIT but she did and it was more than she ever thought it could be.
Oliver didn't ever think he would meet a girl where she would be everything to him. But than he met Felicity and everything changed for him.
august (livin’ for the hope of it all) (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: Working at the surf school in her grandmother's small town wasn't quite what Felicity had planned for her final summer before MIT, but the arrival of her newest student, Thea Queen, and her very alluring brother make it summer she won't soon forget...
only you can set my heart on fire (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: He can’t help but smirk at her tone of voice. His main focus over the past two months has been memorizing every element of the woman underneath him. He’s tuned himself into her frequency, storing the cause and meaning of every type of hitched breath, moan and tone of voice. This soft, distracted murmur is rare but one of Oliver’s favorites.
(A small NSFW fic set in Bali during Olicity's post-s3 roadtrip)
The Bunker UST (chapters: 10/10)
Summary: Pidanka told me that someone should tackle the UST in the bunker and all the sex that Oliver and Felicity will have there during the summer (... at least in our mind). So... here it is. There will probably a few chapters, gradually heating up ;)
!!!COMPLETE!!!
The Summer People (chapters: 14/14)
Summary: Genius IT girl, Felicity Smoak, takes a trip to the Hamptons to take care of her movie-star cousin's kids for the summer and meets billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who's lost his way within QC and with his relationship with his father. Felicity's disenchanted with her current life, too. She's just left a job at Wayne Enterprises and attempting to regroup at the beach. Will these two help the other find themselves or will they remain lost in the disenchanting world of the wildly idle rich?
***Yay for Arrow in the Hamptons. Fluffy but has action and a bad guy. ;)
Venice Beach (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: After a one night stand, Oliver and Felicity find out they are kinda into each other. Takes place in Venice Beach, CA.
The Daisy Division (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: Felicity Smoak owned the flower shop downstairs. And then one night in early July, Oliver started sneezing.
AU prompt: I rented the apartment above your flower shop and in the last two months you’ve gotten a new flower I’m allergic to so I keep buying bouquets until I can figure out which kind it is.
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: Oliver and Felicity make a stop on their roadtrip for ice cream. Antics ensue, and in an old fashioned ice cream parlor in the middle of nowhere, Oliver comes to a realization.
Fun in the Sun (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: During the post-s3 roadtrip, Oliver and Felicity go to the beach, Fun ensues.
Oliver and Felicity’s High School Reunion (chapters: 4/4)
Summary: It's Felicity's high school reunion, and she convinces Oliver to go with her and pretend to be her boyfriend.
that’s how you get the girl (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: Oliver has everything figured out - it's his last summer before college, he'll spend it with his best friend and he'll confess his feelings before they both go to their schools.
But then Felicity gets a summer job at Universal Studios and, well.
Looks like Thea's getting a season's pass.
All I Know (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: Sequel to Our New Normal.
Prompt from OlicitySmoaky: Oliver and Felicity finally take their honeymoon in Aruba in the "afterlife" (humor/angst/fluff).
OSS #13 Summer School AU (chapters: 4/4)
Summary: AU. Oliver takes on his greatest teaching challenge yet: not making a fool of himself in front of guidance counselor Felicity Smoak. Uh, he means teaching geography to a summer school class of misfits lead by none other than his sister’s pain-in-the-ass boyfriend. AKA, the worst summer of Oliver Queen’s overprivileged life.
(Even if you’re away) I can feel your touch (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: When Oliver told Thea and Tommy that he had a girlfriend, one that lived some miles away from Starling, and they met online, of course the Queen heiress was skeptical. It sounded very much like a narrative made for hers and his best friend’s peace of mind.
Now, months later, Oliver claimed his supposed girlfriend was arriving in Starling on the weekend.
Thea was paying to see this.
(Fifty bucks, exactly, according to her bet with Tommy.)
Come on Pretty Mama (chapters: 1/1)
Summary: Felicity and Oliver dive into their most grueling mission yet.... a relaxing vacation.
Sunny Days (chapters: 2/2)
Summary: She tucked her pen back into her hair and stuck the order slip to the line-up in the kitchen window before heading off to check on another table. She was… cute. Not his type. Which was a good thing. A summer fling with some small town girl was on the list of distractions and temptations he was supposed to be avoiding.
(aka the one where Oliver gets sent to a small seaside town to do his court mandated community service hours and his life becomes a Nicholas Sparks plot)
First Impressions (chapters: 14/14)
Summary: Modern Pride and Prejudice AU: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young woman in possession of a great intellect must be in want of job that requires its use.” But Felicity Smoak seemed stuck in the quiet beach town of Hertfordshire forever. Will the handsome summer tourist and his snobby best friend save her from another season of boredom or will Oliver Queen’s stuck up attitude make Felicity want to strangle him before it’s even over?
If you’ve enjoyed any of these fics, please send kudos, comments, and love to the writers :)
Summary: Somehow the fact that she can now have this man, whenever she wants, has only fed the needy, greedy part of her that wants to be touching his abs all the time. Or: Felicity fears that being able to have sex with Oliver is addling her brain.
Tell Me a Story (chapters: 8/8)
Summary: When Felicity needs a date to her cousin's wedding, Oliver comes to her rescue. As the weekend progresses changes in their relationship develop. Began as another trope and turned into a beast of it's own. Rated M for later
chapters.
