There are no Extra Puzzle Pieces in the Universe, Every Piece has a Home

by artifex_vitae_artifex_sui

Summary:

Felicity has been a genius her whole life, and genius attracts attention, carries demands, as Felicity would say "With great genius, comes great responsibility!" What if from the beginning Felicity was in some way a part of everything the undertaking would unfold? Her genius garnering the attention of a very guilt ridden Robert Queen, desperately wanting to undo years of sin.

How far would she go to help, to solve the unknown, the puzzle that was everything Queen Family related. Would the chaos of the return from the dead of the prodigal son be her undoing or her salvation.

Notes:

Hello everyone, this is my first ever fanfiction the reboot. Read the first chapter to see what exactly that means.

Read, rate, comment, constructively criticize, and of course make suggestions because am always looking for ideas and inspiration to come from everywhere in life.

Just some necessary details, this story will be an AU, although it will follow a lot of the shows story lines I will be creating new stories and my own history to the characters. For now it is rated T, but that might change, I will do my best to warn you of any changes or triggers.

Because the characters have such complicated backgrounds and side stories I will be using flashbacks, in honor of the TV show, to give you all a look into whom they were and how they got to the present time. I will note the flashbacks with --> and they will be in italics-->. I hope you enjoy what I have cooked up. Also there are some visual aids, click the hyperlinked names or descriptions throughout the story to see them, enjoy!
Thank you all!

Chapter 1: New Beginning

Hello loyal and any new readers that may stumble upon this old and regrettably abandoned fic. I have been writing this story on and off from 2013-2016 which seems crazy to me, 5 years and I have yet to finish this monster of a story.

But unlike when I started this, I have finally discovered why I struggled with this story and what was holding me back. I have shed all pretense and have pretty much rewrote the whole story, the premise and everything that was key is still there but I think it finally reads like I always wanted. I am editing and cleaning up as I am my very own beta, so I will be posting on a schedule. For those of you that were loyal readers after the posting mess of the past, the least I can do this time is have weekly updates.

I will be posting when permitted seeing as grad school has taken over. Most chapters are written or in the process, they just need final editing and cleaning before I post. I hope you all enjoy the changes.

Also there are some visual aids, click the hyperlinked names or descriptions throughout the story to see them, enjoy!

I opted to simply delete the chapters and start anew rather than delete the whole post, nothing was harder than deleting all your lovely past comments.

Thank you to any of you that continue to support this story you are deeply loved and appreciated and to any new readers that might wander into this story, HI! Hope you like it!

So with that, here we go!
