OLICITY FOREVER

So, this was written before the finale aired. It's AU and my take on #OlicityForever. 

×××××

Oliver was exhausted. Mia had finally fallen asleep - after hours of her crying her lungs out. Who knew a little baby could be so loud ? 

But at long last she had finally tired herself out and fallen asleep in his arms. 

Sitting in front of the fireplace, Oliver was careful not to make any sudden jerky moves - lest his baby girl wake up again. Looking down at her, cradled against his chest, Oliver couldn't help but smile. With her eyes closed and one tiny fist clutching at his shirt, even in her sleep - she was the most precious thing in his life. Just looking at her, safe and sound, in his arms Oliver was at peace. He was home at last. 

Somehow against all the odds, against a future set in stone - he had fought and won. And now he was back home with his two favourite girls - right where he belonged. Staring at his daughter and thinking of a happy future with his family, he fell asleep.

When Felicity came out of the shower - she couldn't believe what her ears were hearing - or rather not hearing. Her daughter had been cranky all morning and crying all afternoon. Nothing she and Oliver did had seemed to pacify her. They had tried giving her her favourite cuddle bear only for it to be thrown aside, tried to feed her, taking her out on a stroll but nothing calmed her down. 

While she took a shower, Oliver had taken charge and apparently it had worked. 

Felicity quickly dressed in a pair of sweatpants and one of Oliver's hoodies and headed out to the living room. 

What she saw made her a little misty eyed. Mia was cradled against Oliver's chest and both of them were asleep. Both of them seemed so at peace. She quietly snapped a picture of them. Now that she had him back, Felicity found herself treasuring every little moment.

She still couldn't believe sometimes that Oliver was back home with them. It felt so surreal. When the skies had turned red one day she had known that it was the beginning of the end. But she had kept her faith and hope alive because there was no way that their story would end in tragedy. She had hacked and manipulated every resource possible to get information on Oliver and had tried to help him in every which way she could. Weeks had passed and the skies had changed colour again - this time to a hopeful bright blue. 

She had waited for his return every day. Mia had been her saving grace during those dark times. Looking at her daughter had given her the strength to move forward every day even if heart broke when the night would fall and there would still be no sign of Oliver. 

Then it happened. 

She had been sitting out on the deck with Mia - pointing out to her all the butterflies fluttering around every now and then. Felicity had just closed her eyes and rested her head against Mia's. Then Mia had started babbling rather excitedly. Her garbled baby chatter never failed to make her heart feel a bit lighter.  Smiling she had opened her eyes and then she had seen him - standing just a few feet away from her. 

"Felicity" he had uttered softly. 

Standing up she had taken a few hesitant steps towards him not believing that he was real. 

he had been in his green arrow suit. His bow held loosely in his hand as he just stared at them, as if memorizing every little detail. 

While she had become frozen in her spot, he had closed the remaining distance between them and enveloped her and Mia in his arms. 

Oliver was home. She couldn't believe her eyes. She had touched his face, scared that he was just a figment of her imagination. But then he had leaned into her touch. 

Oliver is home her heart had rejoiced. 

×××

They decided to stay in Bloomfield, in their little cabin. 

They couldn't get enough of each other. Touching and caressing and kissing whenever they were near. 

They talked to William's grandparents, made them understand that their family was incomplete without him. A week later they brought William home and introduced him to his baby sister. And within no time Mia had her big brother charmed. 

×××

Everyday a little bit of normalcy returned to their lives. Everyday they learned to be happy again. 

And, Oliver vowed that nothing would ever separate his family again. 

For the world, Oliver Queen had been lost in the crisis. They remembered him as a hero. His mission became an inspiration. 

But in that small cabin in the woods, Oliver lived with his family, like he had always wanted.

“Hi. Glad you could finally make it”

So, this is the end. The End. Time to take stock of the last 8 years, 8 seasons. Although I wasn’t an active viewer the first two years and I discovered the fandom only after Season 2 finale. So, I have had a really close relationship with Arrow for 6 years.

I remember Season 2 finale vividly. It was 2014, my last year at the university. I was supposed to put finishing touches to my thesis paper, get all my credits and prepare for my final exams. So I hadn’t watched the whole episode. But I decided to watch the YouTube clips from 2x23. And I absolutely exploded! I ran to watch the whole episode asap. And still couldn’t believe my eyes. I was overwhelmed and swept off my feet. I don’t know how but I managed to pass all my exams, defend my paper and say goodbye to being a student. And then I stumbled upon a series of Olicity videos. While I don’t remember the creator of the videos (which is, honestly, unforgivable) I do remember that the inspiration for it was a meta on How Oliver Queen fell in love with Felicity Smoak by amazing @jbuffyangel She was the reason I got an account here, on Tumblr. Through her I got to know what fandom was. I discovered fanfiction. Jen became my North Star, my guiding light. Her reviews got me through not only Arrow’s lowest points but some of the lowest points in my life. Then Jen joined forces with @callistawolf in their @watchover-podcast ​ and just like that I had another North Star showing me the way through some very thick Arrow bullshit. Jen and Calli helped me get through every hiatus. I looked forward to every new season and every new episode, I speculated, I smiled, I laughed, I cried, I screamed and squealed with joy, I also screamed in anger and frustration, I cursed, I wanted to throw things at my laptop screen and at Oliver’s head sometimes... Then I just read Jen’s review or listened to Jen & Calli’s podcast and everything became... okay. And I am not just talking about Arrow. I managed to get through some tough and devastating moments in my life because of the said reviews and podcast. Because of the fandom. Because of all fanfic writers and their works. I read tons of fics, then started writing my own which was HUGE for me. I had never had the guts to share any of my writing before. And then I just ... did it. And although I haven’t been an active fandom member, more like a quiet reader/listener/viewer and an occasional fic writer, I still felt a little less lonely, still felt like I belonged, like I had a place here, with Arrow, with all the people sharing the same love for this imperfectly perfect show. 

This may be the end. Everything in our lives and our lives themselves are bound to end at some point. But nothing and no one will ever be able to take away what Arrow has given me. What it has taught me. Knowing that, being sure of that I can say goodbye. I can be at peace with the way Arrow ended. It wasn’t ideal. It wasn’t fair that Oliver and Felicity had to sacrifice so much. But in the end it was perfect. Because it was just the two of them. They aren’t really dead. And everyone else is going to be okay. And this acceptance of the finale, this understanding, me being at peace I owe to Jen & Calli and their @watchover-podcast I will never be able to thank you enough for that.

There isn’t much left to say. Only there still kinda is. But I am not sure I can stay coherent much longer. Because everything is still raw. And it’s a working day and I am supposed to do some actual work. But instead I am a mess. I am feeling all the feelings, I am crying every 15 minutes or so, I have so many thoughts that they are driving me nuts. But I cannot grasp even one of those thoughts and this long word vomit is a testament to that. However, despite all of that I can say with certainty that I Do Know Two Things. First is that I will keep Arrow, Olicity and this fandom in my heart. Forever.

And the second thing? It Was Red

Since we're being emo over everything Olicity -

This is the carpet that Oliver's blood stained after his mother shot him, which led him to reveal his identity to Felicity (and she later sent the sample to be destroyed)! ❤️❤️😭😭💚💚

Update: Susan Williams really is a snake and I hate her so much 😩😱 if she even dares to try and publicly out Oliver or anything I'm going to be so mad
