Happy fanfic writer's appreciation day week!!
It's late but whatever. To celebrate here are a few of my favorite fics I've enjoyed recently: some old, some new, all amazing (everything is Arrow/Olicity unless marked otherwise)
Oliver Queen, H.M.N. by somewherelse
WIP. Oliver is a nurse working in the Glades and Felicity keeps ending up on his table with injuries correlating a little too well with the Vigilante's excursions. So cute! Protective but Understanding!Oliver, Badass Adorable!Felicity (potential medical squicks/triggers)

Blindspot by MachaSWicket
WIP. A woman wakes up on a busy street with no memories and a body covered in tattoos. Who is she? How are her tattoos connected to crime happening around the city? And why does Oliver feel like he knows her?

Of the Wretched by therewasagirl
2 part series Incomplete (give it some love and who knows). Au in which Donna married Malcolm Merlyn and Felicity grew up with the Merlyns and the Queens. Oliver "died" on the island but was really taken to Nanda Parbat. Kinda dark (emotional, psychological and physical abuse and brainwashing)

Felicitas by Jess_S
14 pt series WIP. Felicity is an Immortal (Highlander au/fusion). She's been in the game for thousands of years and she plans to continue that streak. Unfortunately, she always was a sucker for a good fighter with a heart of gold. Follows events of s1. (Semi graphic depictions of death and torture)

Three years later, Oliver returns and they all have to face the consequences of what’s happened since. (very light Flommy, canon typical violence)
