Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
Darcy Lewis went missing in June of 2014, taken by Hydra, and no one even noticed that she was missing. She suffered five hundred and fifty days of pain, torture, experimentation and icy cold sleep before a metal armed Angel of Death became her unlikely rescuer.
Now the only thing that Darcy wants is revenge. James just wants to keep her safe while keeping a handle on the covetous, dangerous Soldier living in his head, and recovering the pieces of Bucky he can.
The problem is, their road trip of retribution has a time limit, a nine month time limit. And that's only if they can stay one step ahead of Steve and the rest of the Avengers.

Summary
Harsh circumstances often choose their victims at random, and sometimes the mantle of hero is pushed upon those who least expect it. The night before Oliver Queen was to go to China with his father, they received an anonymous tip about the Queen's Gambit being tampered with, so they flew instead. Oliver thus made it to China with his father, where circumstances still threw he and Sara Lance into a fight for survival. One Felicity Smoak, on the other hand, was on her way to China on Ferris Air flight 637 for an overseas job interview. And, with Oliver never on the island, Scylla remained completely operational. Follow them both through their intertwined journeys as vigilantes in Starling City.
Note: Oliver is still the Arrow.Series

Summary
Short version: an AU where Tommy Merlyn didn't die, and is around for season 2 of Arrow.
Long version:
Tommy Merlyn has spent most of his life being an expensive disappointment to his family, but now he's a part-owner of a semi-successful nightclub in the worst area of town (it's seriously looking up) alongside his best friend, who — after five years on a deserted island — decided to come back to be a freaking vigilante. It's a long story, one that's longer than Tommy wants to remember, but it took the Glades collapsing and the death of one of their best friends to get him officially done with being a troublemaker. Nothing interesting. Just running a nightclub, and trying not to get into any trouble.Oliver's been gone god knows where for most of the summer, which means he's stuck being the big brother to the guy's snarky little sister, whose boyfriend "Ron" seems completely set on getting himself killed. An afternoon of test-driving Verdant's new cocktails gets interesting when Felicity Smoak and John Diggle show up asking (more) questions about where to find Oliver, and Tommy has to decide whether he wants to keep his new rule.
Spoiler alert: he doesn't.

Summary
The year is 1912, Oliver was 9 and far too old to be babysitting that nonsensical girl Felicity whose parents owned the cattle ranch where his parents worked and lived, but she won him over with oat and raisin biscuits and soon became his little blonde sidekick...with a completely unrequited crush on him.
Years later she returns from boarding school and more than bush fires ignite in the changing times....

Bookmarker's Notes
Really vividly brings out emotions. Also something about old-timey childhood olicity friendship is apparently hitting all the spots.

The Oliver Queen of the season 4 premiere was lighter, happier and more at peace than we’ve ever seen him. What happened in those 5 months away to get him to that point? And who helped him?

Summary
Felicity has the ability to see guardians, spirits that protect the majority of people. Some guardians talk, others don't. Oliver Queen's is a sassy, chatty beast. She starts helping Oliver, forming Team Arrow, and getting drawn into the pull that is Hurricane Oliver.
I rewrote their first meeting and season 1 plot, because it's no fun to copy what's already been done verbatim. The fantasy element was strange, but my muses are weird...and dark, apparently. Despite that, this story is pretty light. No Tommy death - Walter is still kidnapped. Cursing, so if that offends you, avert your eyes. Protecting the city. And major bonding between my girl and her boy wonder.

Summary
Slow burn Olicity AU: Oliver Queen is busy drinking his life away when Sara Lance shows up looking for a favor. Babysitting a strange girl from Vegas is so not his idea of a good time. But when Felicity Smoak is in more danger than he'd bargained on, saving her might be exactly the redemption he's been looking for.
