GOODBYE OLICITY ONLINE GIFT EXCHANGE

Hi, lovely fandom friends!

Like announced here earlier this week, Olicity Secret Santa is going to turn into a Goodbye Olicity Online Gift Exchange for the last season of our beloved show.

To help spread this project, please share this info with everyone you think might be interested in joining in on the fun! The more, the merrier!

You can also help people who need the Safe Mode of this project by sharing that you signed up. You can do so by reblogging or answering to this post.

General info:

Olicity Secret Santa is for everyone who loves Olicity.

With the shifted focus on saying goodbye to our OTP, the Holiday Theme in the name of this blog is no longer the focus of the shared work.

Everyone can contribute to this, creating their own kind of fan content for their giftee. That can be a gif, an edit, a collage, a fic, a video, a playlist or anything else you can think of.

This is an ONLINE gift exchange, so there is no money needed.

There is also no personal information being exchanged, except for your username. You can also add your first name or a nickname to the sign-up sheet to make it a little more personal.

All messages will be sent from the OSS-blog or @smkkbert. I might add some coworkers to help keeping in touch with all of you. In that case, I will tell you which other blogs are involved.

Just be sure to remember: There will be a deadline!

Here is the planned timeline:

Dec. 06 - Sign up is being closed.

Dec. 07 - Check-in I (to make sure no sign-up got lost)

Dec. 08 - Assignments will be sent out (hopefully!).

Jan. 02 - Check-in II (to make sure everyone is still in)

Jan. 31 - All gifts are due.

Feb. 04 - All gifts will be posted on this blog.

How to sign up:

Please use submissions to sign up for the gift exchange. Copy the following sheet into the post and fill it out. You can delete the italic suggestions and explanations.

Your name: You don’t have to add it, but it make things more personal.

Your tumblr URL: I definitely need this to contact you.

What you will be willing to make: gifsets, graphics, collages, fanart, vids, fics, playlist, etc.

What you would like to receive: gifsets, graphics, collages, fanart, vids, fics, playlist, etc.

Would you be willing to make something extra in the event that someone backs out?: Yes/No

A few suggestions on what you enjoy so your Secret Santa has some ideas: Please remember these are suggestions, not requests. It is up to your Secret Santa as to what they create for you. It’s helpful to add general things of what you enjoy or not enjoy in the suggested gift, for example the rating of a fic.

Safe Mode*: Add at least two names of other participants that you feel safe creating a gift for or write “yes”, and I will check for someone who proved to be responsible in the last years. *This option is for people who have made bad experience with sharing their works, especially during Olicity Secret Santa or other gift exchanges, as well as for people with angst of sharing/dedicating their work for complete strangers. Please use this option if you feel unsafe without it.

General rules:

If your URL changes, please contact me as soon as possible.

If you have to contact your giftee, please do so anonymously, so the surprise isn’t ruined. If your giftee doesn’t accept anon asks, just contact me & I will contact your giftee for you.

If you are not able to match the deadline or you have to drop out of the gift exchange, please contact me as soon as possible. We can talk about the possibility of delaying the submission date. Otherwise, we have to find someone to jump in, so nobody is left behind without a gift.

If you need to submit a graphic of gif with several photos, please contact me. These last years, I received those gifts over the messenger and saved them on my private laptop to set everything up here because submissions only allowed one photo/gif/... at a time.

If anything else doesn’t work with the submission, just contact me. We will figure it out.

Don’t post your gift before February 04. As soon as the gifts are posted on the Olicity Secret Santa Blog, you are allowed to post them on every other platform, including your own Tumblr Blog.

If possible, please follow @olicitysecretsanta or track #Olicitysecretsanta to keep in the loop for new information! Contact @olicitysecretsanta or my private blog @smkkbert if you have any questions.

I am super excited for all of the wonderful goodies that are to come and carry us through our first Tuesday without Arrow ever again. I hope we get as many people together as possible! I’d be so happy!

Love,

Kathi ( @smkkbert )

Olicity FanArt/Fic Appreciation Exchange

Calling all Olicity FanArtists/Authors who:

have ever been moved by an Olicity fic, or fanvid, or gifset, or art!

have wanted to create fanart inspired by a great fic or been so tickled by an author’s ‘verse that you wanted to write in it too

have ever wished that someone might write a sequel to your story, create art based on your work, or write a story inspired by your art!

We all know that the Olicity fandom is awesomely talented. Our authors, vidders, artists, and gifmakers are so creative that only one thing could make our situation better - more fanworks that are specifically inspired by us and our creations!

And that is why we’re creating this gift exchange: to celebrate each other! And, hopefully, to spread more awareness of the breadth of talent in this fandom.

Here’s the plan: this will work just like other virtual gift exchanges (such as the Olicity Secret Santa exchange), but with one important distinction - all participants’ gifts will be original creations that are inspired by the fanwork of their secret Giftees!

What do we mean by “inspired by”?

For this exchange, fanworks that are “inspired by” other fanworks can take the following forms (list via this post):

You may write a fanfic of your Giftee’s Eligible fanfic (also known as a “recursive fic,” defined as “fanfiction of fanfiction, where a transformative fanwork is itself treated as the canon for further transformative works.”)

You may write a sequel to or other work in the same ‘verse as your Giftee’s Eligible fanfic

You may take a creator’s original idea and create a remix of it - respectfully (if you intend to choose this option, please confer with the Organizers for further details on what is considered respectful reimagining of an original idea)

You may create fanart, gifsets, or music videos for your Giftee’s Eligible fanfic

You may write fanfiction inspired by your Giftee’s Eligible fanart, gifsets, or music videos

Who is eligible to participate:

All Olicity content creators (fic authors, vidders, fan artists)

What you will “gift”:

One (1) Olicity fanwork in your preferred medium that is in some way inspired by one (1) Olicity fanwork of your Giftee

Example: If you are a fic author and your Giftee is a gifmaker, you will write a fic that is inspired by one of the gifsets of your Giftee; if you’re a fanartist and your Giftee is a fic author, you will create fanart that is inspired by fic written by your Giftee; if you’re a fic author and your Giftee is also a fic author, you will write a fic that is inspired by fic written by your Giftee; etc.

What you will “receive”:

One (1) Olicity fanwork that is in some way inspired by one (1) of your Olicity fanworks

How it works:

Everyone will be assigned one person to make a gift for (your Giftee). You can request your top 3 specific types of gift (fic, fanvid, gifset, other types of fanart) you’d like and we will do our best to match up people as best as possible.

See Rules and FAQs for further details on conditions and requirements.

Submit your gift to the exchange by the April 14 deadline so it can be posted during the scheduled Reveal!

Fanfic, fanart, and fanvids should be submitted to the Exchange Tumblr directly using our Submission Form.

Gifsets and photosets should be sent in a direct message to your exchange facilitator.

Please do NOT post the finished piece on your own blog until after it has been Revealed by the Exchange.

Why should I participate?

There are infinite social and artistic benefits to be gained from participating in an exchange like this, but a few obvious ones include:

Because having someone make fanart of your fanart is just really, really cool

Further exposure of your own fanworks to new audiences

The fun and creative challenge of building off of someone’s existing fanwork

To have something to do during Arrow’s April hiatus ;)

It should go without saying, but here are a few important things we need to say anyway:

All gifts should be created in the spirit of respect and homage to the original work. This is not an opportunity to “fix” or “critique” your Giftee’s fanwork. Your gift should be a compliment: a celebration of and love letter to your Giftee’s original work. Any submission that is critical, dismissive, or in any other way disrespectful toward its Inspiration will be rejected. If you have questions about what constitutes criticism and disrespect, please message one of the administrators.

This means that by participating in this exchange, you also agree to graciously accept the gift that is inspired by one of your fanworks as the compliment that it is intended to be. Chances are the gift you receive will be very different from what you yourself might have created. That is the point! Participation in this exchange means you are willing to appreciate and be respectful toward someone else’s unique take on your original creation.

This is an ONLINE gift exchange, so all you have to invest is time. No money needed!

There is also no personal information being exchanged

People at all skill levels are welcome to participate

Just remember: there is a deadline!

For other very important information and specifications, please see our FAQs!

The sign-up form is here. Be sure to copy/paste the following with your answers:

Your name:

Your tumblr URL:

What you will be willing to make: (gifsets, other types of fanart, vids, fic)

What you would like to receive: (gifsets, other types of fanart, vids, fic)

Would you be willing to make something extra in the event that someone backs out?

A few suggestions on what you enjoy/do not enjoy so your Gifter has some ideas. Please remember these are suggestions, not requests. It is up to your Gifter to decide what they create for you.

A list of at least 3 of your fanworks (with links, please) that will be Eligible “Inspirations” for your Gifter to base their gift on.

SCHEDULE:

Announcement and sign-ups: March 3 - March 10

Assignments will (hopefully) be given to you by: March 14

Due date for your gift: April 14

Posting/reveal: April 19-20

This is a brand new Exchange idea, so please reblog far and wide to spread awareness, and tag any/all Olicity content creators who might be interested! Thank you!

I thought I’d just give a quick update.

I’ve been offline for a couple of weeks now because my family and I were forced to put my dog, Charlie, to sleep due to a traumatic injury. It was devastating for all of us because none of her were with him when it happened - I was at university, my family were on vacation - and he was in a large amount of pain for several days before we were able to see him.

Unfortunately, there was no proper way for his injury to heal, as any operation that the vets offered to give him would have created high risk for an even worse injury. He would have had no quality of life after. He was a cocker spaniel and loved to run, sprint and swim, and he wouldn’t have been able to do any of those things. He wouldn’t have even been able to walk.

In the end, considering the circumstances, we decided that putting him to sleep was the kindest thing to do. I sat with him and held him while they did it so he wasn’t alone. It’s taken quite a while to recover emotionally because as many of you know, Charlie was one of the best parts of my life and he always will be. I really miss him. My life is a lot quieter and dimmer without him in it.

While I’ve been offline (my queue has been a life-saver recently), I’ve been distracting myself by writing. Mostly, I’ve been working on the next chapter of How To Train Your Vigilante.

I don’t know if any of you remember, but I lost 20k words worth of HTTYV (2 parts) due to documents becoming corrupted. Even my back-ups were unaccessible. But thanks to @nodecaff4me, I managed to find a couple pages worth of work, so I didn’t have to start from nothing.

HTTYV Part 8 is already very long - 13k words - and still not completed yet. I’m unsure of when it’ll be ready to be posted, but hopefully will be sometime in March. HTTYV is honestly one of my favourite fics to write and I know you all really enjoy reading it.

@smoakqueenz created this amazing gifset for me for the Olicity Secret Santa, which has been a major motivating factor when it’s come to writing this chapter. Thank you so much, Nelly! (Nelly is one of our fandom’s greatest artists, I flail every time I look at her work!)

Thank you for all your patience and support. I really appreciate it.

Summary: Oliver shares his favorite Christmas traditions with his family over two very different Christmases.

A/N: Mild spoilers through 6x09. Written for the Olicity Secret Santa 2017.

Original post here; read on AO3 here.

December 24, 2017

"Merry Christmas, Auntie Thea!"

If Oliver’s sister Thea was in any way startled by the way her nephew launched himself at her or his son’s enthusiastic greeting after he opened the door, there was no sign of it on her face. Instead, Oliver could see she was all grins as she wrapped her arms around William. “Merry Christmas!” she replied. She took a step back and breathed deeply. “Your dad’s been busy cooking?”

William nodded. “There’s more than enough food for Christmas Eve dinner tonight, and for Christmas tomorrow. Are you really spending the night tonight? Dad said you were. Oh--I should go help him some more. He was going to teach me how to properly mash potatoes.”

“And you don’t want to miss that,” Thea said. She followed William into the kitchen, where she greeted Oliver with a kiss on the cheek. “Merry Christmas, Ollie. If only the bad guys could see you now.”

“They might be very intimidated by my chocolate souffles,” Oliver retorted, setting down a spoon and wrapping Thea in a hug. “Hi, Speedy. Glad you could make it. Just drop your bag anywhere and I’ll take it to your room after.”

Thea set it down, along with the bag of presents she’d been carrying. “You’re not going to make me help in the kitchen, too, are you? Because I should warn you now, I think you got all the cooking skills in the family.”

“Found it!” Felicity emerged from their bedroom with a wine corkscrew held triumphantly overhead. She greeted Thea with an embrace. “And no, we’re leaving the men to cook while we start in on this incredible bottle of wine I can now open.” She made quick work of the cork, then poured two glasses, leaving a third wine glass empty for now.

They both settled in at the counter, talking about everything and nothing as they sipped at their wine. Oliver went back to cooking, trying not to look up too often at his little sister and his wife interacting. He still felt like the last month was something out of a dream, from his sister waking up from her coma to Barry and Iris’s wedding (and all that entailed) to Felicity asking him to marry her right there in the park to celebrating it with their friends and family. There had been plenty of negatives, too--his arrest and the team breaking up being the two major negatives--but overall, for the first time in a very long time, Oliver had everything that he wanted in his life.

He could really get used to this foreign feeling of contentment.

He was good to his promise to teach William how to mash the perfect potatoes. Oliver had been worried that both Christmas and his sudden elopement would cause William to return to the brooding boy he’d been those first five months after his mother’s death. But William absolutely adored Felicity, and once Felicity had encouraged Oliver to just talk with William about any Christmassy things he used to do with his mom that he wanted to keep doing, Oliver had felt a lot better about the whole situation. And while William had been unsure about doing some Christmas activities without his mom, he had offered up a few things that Oliver had been more than happy to incorporate into their Christmas season.

Oliver had also promised to introduce William to two Christmas traditions that Oliver kept. Those would be happening after dinner. William asked about them again as they were bringing the food to the table, while Felicity and Thea joined them and set their wine glasses down. Thea jumped right in with a story about how both the traditions had started before Oliver even had a chance to open his mouth. He didn’t mind at all; he was grateful for how easily Thea had taken to the role of aunt to his son.

Oliver went to get the last dish of food, and he caught Felicity standing back a little and smiling at nothing. He stepped closer to her and raised an eyebrow in question. She laughed softly. “I was just remembering what happened that time I asked you about your holiday traditions.”

He frowned for a moment, trying to recall what she was talking about--these days, so much of what had happened in those first months and years after the island felt like it had happened to someone else entirely. But as he remembered exactly what had happened, he grinned in response. “I thought you were insane. Adorable, but insane.”

“You mean determined,” she corrected, leaning up for a kiss. Oliver happily gave her one. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she pulled away. “I wanted you to see that you could have happy memories again.”

“I should have realized even then that you were my happy story,” Oliver said softly. Felicity rewarded him with another kiss, which was interrupted only when Thea cleared her throat loudly.

“Save it for after dinner, newlyweds. I’m starving.”

Both Oliver and Felicity smiled and broke apart. Oliver went to get the last dish of food, Felicity poured him a glass of wine, and before long they were all digging into their Christmas Eve dinner.

Five years earlier

Felicity was right.

Nobody was paying any attention to Oliver Queen, CEO of Queen Consolidated, or why he was having drinks with his bodyguard and his personal assistant. Nobody was paying attention to much of anything beyond themselves in the restaurant; the Christmas music was cranked up and there were several Christmas dinner parties going on. Nobody noticed the three of them dressed casually and seated in the bar area.

It was a nice restaurant, but not one he typically frequented. The reason he even knew about it was because he'd come here with John and Felicity after the first mission she'd worked out in the field with them. The Dodger case. Felicity had been visibly shaken up after having a bomb collar around her neck and joked about going out for margaritas. At the time, John and Oliver had exchanged a quick look and agreed to a drink, mostly to keep an eye on her and make sure she was really okay. So tonight, when they had wrapped things up in the Foundry and Felicity had cajoled the two of them into drinks to celebrate Oliver's safe return from facing Cyrus Gold, they ended up back at that same spot.

Felicity was two margaritas in when the conversation took a turn Oliver hadn’t expected.

"What are your favorite holiday traditions?" she asked, looking between John and Oliver.

John already had his beer to his mouth, which left Oliver wide open to answer. But even as he took a breath to speak, he found a warm finger pressed against his lips, and the scent of Felicity filling his personal space. He had grown very familiar with that scent in the last few months, working with her as his personal assistant, and warning bells were going off in his brain as he struggled not to focus on how nice her finger felt against his lips--or how very blue her eyes looked behind her glasses right now.

He was enough caught up in his struggle that he almost didn't hear her command. " Don't say mistletoe. We already know all about the beautiful island girls on fantasy island."

Oliver blinked in confusion, not at all helped by John's snort of laughter. He pulled back from her finger, narrowing his eyes as he tried to figure out what she just said. "What?"

She waved her hand, as if physically brushing off her comment. "If it's all about kissing, I don't want to hear about it. That's all. So what are your favorite holiday traditions, that don't include kissing?"

John was still chuckling, which left Oliver no less confused about her fantasy island comment. But he pushed aside that concern for now--writing it off as the tequila talking--and answered how he had originally meant to answer. "Candy canes."

"What do you mean, candy canes?" Felicity asked, squinting her eyes at him in concentration. "That doesn't even make sense."

Oliver shrugged. He wasn't used to opening up, and just a few weeks ago he'd already had to tell John and Felicity about Sara Lance surviving the shipwreck. But it wasn't just anybody asking. The determined blonde who, just a few hours ago had told him he "looked like a hero" when he put on a mask, was staring him down.

"My sister and I, we always would race each other to see who could finish the candy canes first," Oliver explained. He felt himself relaxing a little into the topic as he spoke. Felicity had a way of bringing that out in him, without even trying. “And then we would watch It’s a Wonderful Life until we’d both fall asleep. I think we both finally made it to the end the year she turned twelve.” That was the last Christmas they’d had together, before the island. Oliver didn’t mention that part out loud, knowing it would instantly dampen the mood.

Felicity stared at him for a long moment, long enough that Oliver found himself shifting nervously in his seat. Without comment, she finished the rest of her margarita and waved for their waitress. "We're ready for our checks," she said without asking John or Oliver. “We have someplace else to be.”

The two men exchanged a glance as they drained the rest of their beers. “Where are we going?” Oliver ventured to ask.

“You’ll see,” she replied with a pleased smile. She refused to say anymore as they paid their bills.

As they were leaving the restaurant, John muttered, “I’m glad I didn’t mention any of my holiday traditions.”

Five stops later and Felicity was clearly losing her tequila buzz. Her determination had only intensified.

“Does nobody in Starling City carry regular candy canes anymore?” she lamented as the three of them got back into the car after a quick trip through the Christmas treat section at the drug store. “How hard can it be? Candy canes seem to be a pretty basic part of the Christmas culture. Is there really a need for trendy flavors like tropical punch and Jelly Belly candy canes?”

“You did almost buy the chocolate mint ones,” John pointed out as he started the car.

Felicity ignored his comment. “There’s nothing else for it,” she said. “We’re going to have to steal them.”

“Felicity--” Oliver had been amused when this had all started--and in a way, deeply flattered that Felicity’s single minded mission since they had left the restaurant was to find a box of peppermint candy canes. But there was a line between ‘fun’ and ‘doing what the bad guys do’, and Felicity was announcing that she was crossing it.

Unfortunately, she ignored Oliver as easily as she’d ignored John’s comment moments before. “John, can you take us to QC?”

“Forget something at the office?” he asked as he made the turn back towards the city center.

“Every year since I was hired at QC, somebody brings in a stack of candy cane boxes and puts them in the break room on the IT floor. So we’re going to help ourselves to a few of those boxes,” she said with a nod, her long ponytail swishing back and forth.

Oliver relaxed a little at the explanation of their destination. “Is it really stealing if we’re taking it from work?”

“Technically, I don’t work for the IT department anymore,” Felicity pointed out. A familiar look came into her eyes, and Oliver could sense another (well-deserved) rant was about to come his way for putting her in as his personal assistant if he didn’t divert it quickly.

“Let’s hope they have the right flavor,” he said. He smiled slightly. “Or we may end up stuck with those green apple ones we just saw.”

“No, if we’re going green, we’re getting the chocolate mint ones,” she said before her eyes widened. “Oh. Did you want green ones?”

“No, I really do prefer the peppermint,” he assured her. “I don’t need everything to be green.” He looked out the window for a moment to see the QC building getting closer. “What’s the plan when we get there?”

He saw Felicity’s confusion written across her face. “Plan?”

“Yes, plan,” he said, turning to face her more. “Your mission. So you get to make the plan.”

“Oliver Queen, are you learning to share?” she asked. She looked very pleased with this turn of events.

He smiled slightly before he said, “Don’t get used to it.”

She laughed and worked on laying out a simple, straightforward plan by the time they reached the Queen Consolidated building.

Oliver waited uneasily outside the IT break room for Felicity. She had insisted that she go in alone. “It will take me two minutes, Oliver,” she told him with a roll of her eyes. “I can handle it.”

So since he had agreed to let her be in charge of “the plan”, here he was, feeling out of place and exposed in the company he technically ran.

He was just about to go in after Felicity--she had been in there for nearly five minutes and he could here her muttering under her breath--when he heard a male voice.

“What are you doing?”

Oliver was on high alert and already moving to the door.

“I’m taking the last box of regular candy canes,” came Felicity’s matter of fact reply. “There are still plenty of other flavors. Though why anybody would want root beer candy canes--”

“These are for the IT department, from the IT managers. And your badge says you’re a personal assistant, not from IT.”

Oliver stepped into the room and tried for his most charming smile. “Is there a problem here? Ms. Smoak, did you find the candy canes I needed?”

The man Felicity had been talking to had turned to face Oliver, and his eyes widened as he recognized him. “Mr. Queen. What brings you down to IT this late at night?”

“I needed a box of regular candy canes. Ms. Smoak--my personal assistant--recalled that there are typically too many boxes of candy canes left in the IT break room, and offered to retrieve them for me. I see that she’s been successful. Thank you,” Oliver said to Felicity, then turned back to the IT employee. “Don’t let us keep you from anything you’re working on.”

“No, Mr. Queen. I was just getting my lunch. I’m the IT staffer on call tonight.” The man seemed embarrassed now that he recognized the CEO of the company was in the same room as him. “Enjoy your candy canes, sir.”

“Thank you,” Oliver said, keeping his smile. He gestured for Felicity to go ahead of him, then said, “Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas, Mr. Queen. And Ms. Smoak.”

Oliver and Felicity made it all the way inside the elevator, where John was waiting, before Felicity started laughing. Oliver dropped the fake smile and cracked a real one before asking Felicity, “Maybe you should have gone for the green ones after all.”

John just looked at both of them, shook his head, and pressed the button for the parking garage.

“So why are we back here with our stolen candy canes?” John asked as Felicity set down her purse and coat.

“Because now that we have the candy canes...we have a movie to watch,” she said. She looked around the Foundry, then nodded towards the mats. “See if you can make some comfortable seating. I’ll work on the tech setup.”

John obediently started towards them, piling up some mats for the three of them to lean against, then going to find blankets and pillows Oliver had stashed in the Foundry. Oliver hung back with Felicity, who was muttering under her breath as she poked at her tablet.

“This whole thing--looking for candy canes and coming back here--it’s because of what I said at the restaurant?” Oliver asked.

Felicity looked up from her tablet, and for the first time all night looked uncertain. She was biting her lip in a very distracting way. “I don’t celebrate Christmas,” she said. “Hanukkah ended last week. But I thought--well, we deserve a little break. And you deserve a happier Christmas than you had last year.” She frowned. “You did say you do this with your sister. We can pick a different movie. I don’t want to step on your toes--”

“Fe-li-ci-ty.”

He said her name softly, but it did the trick. She stopped babbling and looked at him, waiting for his response.

“Thank you,” Oliver said. She blinked in surprise--had he ever told her that before? This particular occasion warranted it. Wanting to cut the tension of the moment--and the urge he had to just lean in and kiss her--he took the box of candy canes from the table where she had set it. “But I’m not taking it easy on you for the contest.”

“And here I thought you were a gentleman,” she replied. She smiled up at him, and he felt that urge to kiss her again. Luckily, the sound of John stacking another few mats up made Oliver look away, and the moment was gone. He headed over and settled next to John. Felicity joined them a few moments later, barefoot and with her hair down. She sat down on the other side of Oliver, then pressed a few buttons on her tablet and got the movie to start playing.

They went through the box of candy canes fairly quickly, and watched the movie with minimal commentary. Oliver felt the week catching up with him, his eyes growing heavy as he concentrated on the black and white movie. Both John and Felicity were settled in and quiet now as the movie played on.

The next thing Oliver became aware of were tingles from his left arm, and a soft warm weight pressed up against his left side. He blinked his eyes open, catching that George Bailey was staring down at the river, contemplating ending it all to make things better for his family. He heard soft snores from his right--John was fast asleep.

And so was Felicity, tucked up against Oliver and using him for a pillow.

He remained still, just looking at her. Her glasses were slightly askew, where she was pressed up against him; her hair was down, surrounding her face in soft waves. She looked peaceful, almost angelic as she slept on.

She deserved someone good, like the kid Barry Allen. She didn’t need to waste her time on someone broken like him, to spend a whole evening racing around the city trying to find the right kind of candy canes because he’d said it was his Christmas tradition.

She deserved better, and she shouldn’t waste time on him, but Oliver allowed himself these few minutes to memorize how easily she fit against him, how pleased she was on the ride back to the Foundry, how determined she had been to get the candy canes and the movie set up.

It was Christmas. He was allowed a few happy hours.

When he could no longer ignore the pins and needles in his left arm, he gently shifted her away from him, placing her head on his folded up grey sweatshirt. He carefully removed her glasses and set them in the empty box of candy canes, so they wouldn’t get broken. Then he shifted away, putting a little bit of space between them before he settled back down and watched the rest of the movie.

December 24, 2017

“I think he’s finally asleep,” Felicity murmured, her voice reverberating against Oliver’s chest. After dinner, they had all moved into the living room to watch It’s a Wonderful Life --which was only briefly interrupted by the annual candy cane eating contest. Felicity was snuggled up against him now, a warm spot on the cold night. He didn’t feel like shifting much, but all it took was a slight turn of his head and he could see that William’s eyes were indeed shut tightly as George Bailey made a mad dash to the library to see what had become of Mary in the world without George.

“He’s not the only one,” Oliver replied, nodding to where his sister had tucked herself into an armchair and was fast asleep. “I thought they’d never come down from their sugar highs.”

“You make it sound like we have two children in the house,” Felicity said with a sleepy laugh. “But you were participating just as diligently in that candy cane eating contest, mister.”

“A tradition is a tradition,” he said. He lightly brushed his fingers down Felicity’s arm. “That first Christmas I was back, Thea brought a box of candy canes to the hospital. It was an olive branch. For the first time since I returned from the island, I felt like an old part of me was back. But a good old part of me. Not the foolish irresponsible kid I was. But a big brother, sharing a tradition with his little sister.” He smiled softly. “And this year, I’m sharing it with my son and my wife.”

Felicity found his left hand, gently tracing along the cool metal ring that Oliver was still hyper aware of, after a little less than a month wearing it. “Talk about unthinkable. You and me.”

“You changed my life from the moment I walked into your office and you told me you knew who I was,” Oliver countered, taking her hand and wrapping his fingers through it. “It was never an easy road. But we made it here.”

“A quiet family Christmas,” she said with a smile before yawning and snuggling back into his chest. “I love you, Mr. Smoak.”

A wide grin came across Oliver’s face, a deep contentment and peace filling his soul. When he’d returned from Lian Yu, he never would have been able to imagine anything like this. He never thought he would deserve anything like this. But bit by bit, hard learned lesson by hard learned lesson, he’d moved from the broken man who left the island to the man he was today. Brother. Father. And husband to the incomparable Felicity Smoak. “I love you, Mrs. Queen.”

“No, Mrs. Queen was my mother-in-law,” came the sleepy response. Oliver chuckled, keeping her hand wrapped in his until he drifted off to sleep to the strains of Auld Lang Syne, the lights of the Christmas tree twinkling and catching on the unwrapped cellophane from the candy cane boxes still strewn across the living room.

Olicity Chrismukkah 2019

Hi, Lovelies!

Today, I was asked if there was another Olicity Secret Santa exchange this year. So far, the answer is I don’t know.

[Please continue reading to see what’s the problem & what’s my idea to make it work nonetheless.]

I have helped planning this gift exchange for the last three years I think. It was always fun to plan this for you, and I think a lot of you liked the possibility to celebrate the holidays (or the lovely Olicity Fandom Friendships in general) together.

As much fun as it was, it wasn’t always easy.

Sometimes, people just backed out without telling us. Two days before Christmas Eve, we still hadn’t heard from them and had to organize gifts spontaneously. Not cool!

That being said, I understand that sometimes unexpected things happen, and you have to drop out. Some people told us they had to drop out, and that was always okay.

I know some people weren’t happy because their work didn’t get any recognition, not even from the giftee itself. There was a smaller Olicity gift exchange one year with people who trusted each other on that, and I took care of some participants with that problem last year (unofficially). If there will be another Olicity gift exchange, I want to work on making this more official to (hopefully) have more people join in on the fun and feel safe and happy about the exchange.

Last year, we also ran into some other problems. I had to read it up today because I have been on vacation when all of that happened, and with the stressful year I had I didn’t have time to catch up on it until now. The truth is that I understand why people are angered when Felicity’s Jewish heritage is ignored in fanfics.

The problem is that I can hardly review every contribution to the exchange. Even if I did, what was I supposed to do? Kick those people out of the exchange and risk that barely anyone gets a gift or the gift they wanted? Force them to change it and limit their creative freedom or whatever to call it?

Again, I understand why it’s important to respect Felicity’s Jewish heritage and not wash it away, but I see myself running intro trouble making this work.

I have thought back and forth about what to do. Since I will start a new job on Monday, I have an easy excuse to say I can’t organize the gift exchange and cancel it completely or give into new hands. Since this is Arrow’s last year on TV, I think a last gift exchange would be beautiful though.

Here is my idea:

An Olicity Secret Santa exchange the way we did it will always bring that last problem back. With the Holiday theme and the date linked with Christmas, it’s just a never-ending story.

Now, since the holidays are always busy anyway, I think that it would be nice to delay the exchange. Instead of a Holiday Gift Exchange we make it a Goodbye Olicity Gift Exchange with the gifts being posted the day or the week after the Arrow Finale.

That would take away the Holiday Theme and hopefully ease the schedule for anyone.

For now, it’s just an idea. It really just popped into my mind while I was writing this. Let me hear what you think by using this survey, reblog, reply or ask. :)

Lots of love

@smkkbert

Side note: I know that the changed date doesn’t solve the deeper problem. It’s actually just hiding it. This is a small blog. I can’t change the world. I wouldn’t even know how.
