Semi-Au Sara comes out to Laural

“You know, it’s weird that you steal my boyfriends when this whole time I thought you were gay.”

Laural and Sara are sitting on their couch eating ice cream and watching trash TV when Laural causally makes this comment. Sara sputters and chokes on her ice cream. “Oh my god, it’s coming out of my nose! Laural!” Sara grabbed a pillow and swatted Laural in the face with it. Laural watched Sara, unimpressed by her antics and waited until she was done. Watching Sara wipe her nose on her sleeve.

Sara regained her composure, “ok, what!?”

Laura was spooning more ice cream into her own mouth and was about to answer when Sara said, “first of all I don’t steal your boyfriends, they ... find me. And second of all, i’m not- I’m not gay.” Sara trains her eyes on her bowl as she starts stirring around what’s left of the ice cream and watching it turn it into a gooey soup. It’s kind of how her stomach feels right now. Like a gooey soup. Sara continues watching the mixture.

“I didn’t say you were gay, I said I thought you were. But then you were making out with my boyfriends so I thought maybe not.” Laura continued on as though her and Sara were just discussing weekend plans and not ... not this!

“Why did you think I was gay?” Sara asks, still stirring and mixing, still not looking at Laural.

“I don’t know, I guess... well when we were kids you got really attached to your friend Bethany or whatever her name was. You acted like she was your girl friend. Anytime the neighborhood boys would tease her or chase her you were always there to act like her knight in shining Armour. Leave Bethany alone unless you want a knuckle sandwich!” Laural did her best impersonation of little Sara. “And then you would pull your literal cape that mom got you one Halloween out of the back of your shirt and would go chasing after them. I saw you two kissing one time in the tree house too. And I remember I found some little love note that you wrote to her saying something like,“boys are dumb, let’s run away together. we can eat McDonald’s whenever we want-

“...and kiss and hold hands like they do on the movies.” Sara finished.

“Mmmhum”, Laural made a noise, got up, and took Sara’s bowl from her and put it in the kitchen. She came back and sat next to Sara, switching the TV off.

“But you’re not...” Laural said, almost asking a question instead of saying something that she thought she was certain of.

“I like girls.” Sara said quietly. “I mean, I prefer girls,” Sara tried again. Sara realized that they were having this conversation and there was no point in backing out now. Laural already thought she was gay at one point and didn’t seem to mind.

“What does that mean? You prefer girls?”

“Well, I liked ... Oliver.” Sara eyed Laural. They’d gotten over the whole, boyfriend stealing thing but Sara thought it was still a touchy subject. But I, I’ve also had relationships with women. And I think I like them better. I don’t know. I’m still figuring it out. While I was away, I met this girl named Nyssa. And god, Laural I loved her. And it wasn’t because she saved me. I felt a connection to her, something I never felt before with a woman. And I didn’t question it. For some reason we just fit. And she was my person at the time. And I her beloved. She’s the first girl that I’ve loved in... that way.” Sara got a faraway look in her eye, reminiscing.

“So, you’re bisexual?”

“Yes. I like women but I like men too.”

Laural shrugged, “hum, okay.”

“That’s it?” Sara asked. She wished she still had her ice cream soup to play with.

“What do you want me to say?” Laural was trying to keep up here.

“You’re not, you’re not like, you know... mad? You don’t, think I’m gross? You don’t hate me?” Laural realized that Sara wasn’t scared of her sexuality, she was scared of people’s response to it, mainly Laural’s response.

“Laural, you’re my big sister, always have been, always will be. And I- I hate that I keep letting you down.” Sara said dejectedly.

“Hey, no. Sara, look at me- you are not letting me down. The thing with Oliver is water under the bridge, ok? I just like to give you shit about it but he fuking knew better. And no matter how mad I get, I’m not going to let anything come between our sisterhood, especially not a stupid guy.”

“How about a stupid girl?” Sara offered up nervously.

“Sara, I don’t care if you like women or you like men or you like both. It won’t change my love for you. I’m seriously so proud of your courage and your bravery. Laural wrapped Sara up in her arms. “Come here, googber.”

“I love you, Laural.” Sara snuggled up closer to her sister and put the covers over the both of them.

“So, what do you wanna watch? Buffy? The L word? Carmilla? Rizzoli and Isles? South of nowhere...” Sara grabbed for the pillow and hit Laural again.

“Jerk. Hey how do you even know about those shows?”

“Sara, you’re not as sneaky as you think you are babe.” Laural pulled her little sister closer and kissed her on the top of her head as Sara’s whole body turned a soft pink color.

Bonus avalance scene:

“So, are there any other stupid girls” Laural asked as Buffy credits were rolling. Sara was half asleep. “Huh?” She groggily asked her sister.

“Earlier, you said stupid girls. You mentioned Nyssa but is there someone else?” Laural asked trying to sound casual. She really loved learning all these things, Sara was so secretive and guarded since she’d been back.

“Ava.” Sara simply said.

After it was clear she wasn’t going to elaborate, Laural raised her eyebrows expectantly, “Avaaaa?” She turned the name into a question that she was hoping her sister would satisfy with an answer. Sara sighed.

“Ava. She’s this... person I work with. Well I don’t really work with her. She tries to come in and tell me everything I’m doing wrong, all bossy pants in her dumb poly-blend pants suit and bun that’s wrapped too perfectly.” Sara took a handful of popcorn and threw it at the TV.

“You’re cleaning that up.” Laural said without looking at the mess. Sara sighed. 

“So why do you like her? She sounds like a bitch...” 

“Yeah, I thought so too at one point. But really she’s, she’s authoritative. Demanding. Take charge. Powerful. Badass. Sexy even. I mean she walked in and pinned Ray to the ground with almost no effort. It was so hot...”

“And now you want her to pin you to the ground huh?” Laural smirked. This earned her another whack in the arm this time from Sara’s pillow weapon. 

“Ok, so does she like you back?” 

“I don’t know. But even if she did, you know my relationships have a way of ending badly.” Sara pondered. She really did want to ask Ava out. They’d started getting a lot closer. One could call them friends even.

“Sara, you almost died. Multiple times I might add. If you have a chance at love, and at, at happiness, I think you should go for it. I’m not gonna say you only live once because in your case that’s not true, but love is rare. Not everyone is so lucky to find it. What you had with Nyssa sounds special. Ava could be special in a different way for you, Sara. I just want you to try at least. Promise me?

“Pinky promise.” Sara stuck out her pinky and locked it with Laural’s pinky. She closed her eyes and thought about all the possibilities with Agent Sharpe.

There is literally no reason for olicitators to hate laurel? Like literally everything she does and says is not problematic or hate worthy? They just hate her because they know oliver loves laurel in every universe and comics and that their ship is just a fragment of delusion of the writers.

On the subject of The Black Canary

What happened to Sin? She was friends with Sara & helped Roy Harper out. She would be an amazing Black Canary. She’s already bad ass as it is.
