It's super hard to narrow this down, but my three favorites are the Greek Gods series, Ramifications of Bachelor Bidding and probably The Lord of Gallifrey! Though this too, a lot of thinking and I could keep going and going..

Ohhh Bachelor Bidding!  That was a fun one :)  The Lord of Gallifrey was my first attempt at a historical :)  And the Greek Gods is just so much fun to play with all those characters :)  Great choices!  Thanks ZoeB!

Impaired Judgment

a summer fic for the Olicity Hiatus Fic-A-Thon 

wrote this in the summer can read at A03

Summary:

John Diggle is out of it by an aphrodisiac truth drug and its awkward field mission. He tells Felicity how he appreciated her and then it leads to how he thinks she is very beautiful and sexy and how he tried to control himself in the beginning before Oliver got a clue and they were just friends. When Oliver shows up Diggle needs his help too. John has no clue what was said. Oliver and Felicity promise to never tell him.

Notes:I just love John Diggle and I don't find enough Dig centric fics.

prompt: Impaired Judgment

“Overwatch, I’m going to need you to help me with Spartan.” Green Arrow calls out as he leaves the exit door with his partner half on him stagger walking. She places the really uncomfortable mask on her face and runs towards where Oliver is holding Dig up and takes over draping her arm around the man on the other side and helps Oliver get him to safety in the van.

“Need to finish checking the perimeter; will you be okay with John here?”

“Sure. Do you know what chemical he walked into?”

“No.”

“I’ll draw blood and start analyzing.”

“Okay. Keep an eye out, if you see anything. Get out of here.”

She nods. Oliver gives a quick look to John before he hurries back in to finish his sweep.

--->

Other than a few moans and John having a moment of opening and shutting his visor over and over while giving Felicity odd smiles that somewhat look even more bizarre coming from him.

“I like my new helmet; I should have listened to you from the beginning when you said it needed loads of improvement.”

She made a noise of agreement as she helps take one sleeve off his jacket to roll his shirt up his arm. Placing a stretchy band around his bicep so she could draw blood he is observing at her every move.

“I don’t wanna act like Oliver and not be a good listener.”

“I don’t think anyone can beat Oliver.” She hears a snicker on the communicator and pays no mind to it as she draws blood.

“Good, he’s really thick headed, took him like ever to suck it up and go after one of the best girls I’ve ever known.”

“Awe thanks, I think you’re awesome too.”

“And sexy.”

“Um sure, I think you’re very handsome.”

“Sexy, super smart like really out of this world smartest genius and a loud voice that does wonders.”

“You aren’t talking about yourself at all.”

“No I’m talking about you silly. You are a diamond, did you know that?”

“A mineral?”

“A unique mineral, did you know diamonds exhibits great fire and brilliance just like you.”

“Oh really?”

“Yep, Oliver told me that. Well he went on and on. Diamond is like a 10 on the moth no, no, moors um no …”

“The Mohs scale.”

“Sure whatever, see how you just corrected me like that it so…”

“Educational?” She heard Oliver make a ‘psst’ sound.

“Sexy. Smart ladies are stimulating.”

She just moved to look at the video feed to make sure Oliver wasn’t in any danger while keeping a very vocal John Diggle company.

“Do you know something?”

She looks at John waiting for a reply.

When he just had his head cocked to the side she finally asked, “Do I know what?”

“I threw you way over the friend zone long, long, long, long…” He stops like he’s thinking a bit. “Long time ago threw you to the sibling sector.”

“Oh.”

“Yep. You became a little smarty-pants sister.”

“Okay.”

<---

They get interrupted a by the Green Arrow as he asks a mission question, “Overwatch is there any movement on the second level?”

“No. There nothing going on under you but movement on the stairwell 800 feet to your left. Plenty of movement happening on the third and fourth floors.”

“Got it. I’m sending in those little gizmos to check for chemical comprehensions to load later at the lair.”

“Be careful.”

“Always.”

--->

John Diggle was snickering throughout their whole exchange.

“You two are wild bunnies.”

“What?”

“Yep, like catching you two butt naked last week.”

“Oh my God.” Felicity squeals out.

“Oh shit.” She hears Oliver say.

“I so saw you naked once.” He snickered out with a laugh. “Before it became a recurring theme.”

“What do you mean you saw her naked?”

“Oliver, he can’t hear you.”

“You talking to Oliver?” she nods. He continues after shrugging. “I wasn’t supposing too but I did. I was paralyzed with fear you’d see me. But I was there. I was supposed to keep an eye on you.” He laughs. “I sure got a nice eyeful too.”

“I really don’t want to hear this.” Oliver mumbles.

“Oliver was just being a dick. Ha! A dick, I’ve seen his dick too.” He retorts looking amusingly at Felicity’s wide eyes. “His I may have seen a tad more than your blush rosy behind and perky breasts with button nipples that I bet he enjoys palming now. I know I would if I was him.” He looked like he was sobering up but asked, “Do you know I love you guys and both of you love me right?”

“Of course, I love you.”

“Does Oliver?”

“Of course. You two are brothers.”

“Yea. Love that bone head.” He has a faraway look as he shocks her yet again, “I knew you’d been a queen since the day you put him in his place that boy was going to be a goner.”

Felicity took a cloth from the first aid kid and wiped sweat from John’s forehead. He was also slightly heating up so she shoved a thermometer into his mouth.

<---

“Oh really.” She continued as when she took the stick from John’s mouth after the allotted time and saw he had a slight elevation. “Oliver John temperature rose just a tad.”

“At least we know he is breathing fine. Be careful Felicity with his impaired judgment he could become a threat. But keep him talking if he starts to sound off I’ll head back sooner he’ll need medical attention.”

“Alright, you’re doing great being stealthy in there. Did you find any TI points?”

“I’ve found three so far. Whatever they are mixing here it’s big.”

“Well once we have knowledge you can come back with the team.”

--->

Diggle had his eyes on her lap as she was talking to Oliver and when her attention was back on John. He chirped out, “So nothing in the oven yet?”

“What?”

“No baby Queen? I’m ready for a baby Queen, ask your hubby when he’s going to hurry up and knock you up.”

“Wow, maybe I’m not ready there so much on our hands…”

“Excuses, excuses. You two are so full of it.”

“Wow John, I didn’t think you felt this way.”

“Felicity if you really knew how I felt you’d wouldn’t talk to me again.”

“How do…”

“Felicity don’t you dare.” Oliver said quickly.

“Ah, happy you asked.”

A groan on the communicator told Felicity that Oliver so was not pleased.

<---

After listening for fifteen minutes on how to have intercourse and all the body parts needed and why John was content that he spoke his sexual piece. Felicity moaned in displeasure. Between hearing Oliver fighting some men and Diggle recipes on baby making Felicity was horrified enough for a lifetime.

“Now I’ve been strident with Oliver in this matter but I’m so glad we talked about this.”

Oliver spoke up, “Heading back now. ETA three minutes.”

“Got it. John lets buckle you in.”

“My pants are too tight.” He started to unbutton his pants.

“John please stop, oh god your unzippering.”

“What the hell is going on?” she hears Oliver huffing as he is heading their way.

“John is…”

“I need to be free.” He says as he moves his hand into his boxers.

“Oh God I can’t watch.” Felicity turns away but she can hear a satisfied moan from John as he finally is freed from his tormenting confinement.

--->

The back door of the van opens and Oliver groans.

“Felicity drive us a few miles up then I need to help Diggle get some relief.”

“What do you mean help John with relief.” She says as she pulls away and drives until Oliver tells her to stop. Both men get out and she can’t see them nor hear them. Not until the communicator is back online.

“We are heading back just drive us to the lair.”

“Fine.”

Once at the lair Diggle falls asleep. He vitals all stable so Felicity is running the chemical composition as  Oliver stands near John.

“John is going to be so mortified.” Felicity quips looking at the sleeping form.

“That is if he remembers.”

Oliver and Felicity quite don’t know what to say and promise to never tell him like ever. They come to find that John Diggle has no idea what happened after the gas hit him. They wait for Lyla to come pick him up.

first lines fic meme

I did this a while back too, in 2016. always good to see how things have changed (if they have ofc) 

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories. See if there are any patterns. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors!

I promise till death we part (like in our vows) (westallen, nsfw) - The loft is quiet as Iris slips back into bed with Barry. 

words of affirmation (canarystorm) - A little after the Waverider is back in the time stream (once they’ve deposited Sir Isaac Newton to his rightful place in the timeline, of course), there’s a knock at Jax’s door that makes him look up. 

thanksgiving (wildqueen) - The sound of voices in the hospital hallway interrupts the conversation Thea is having with John, and they both look up expectantly at the newcomers.

the break of dawn (tomance) - The early morning has always been Sara’s favourite time of day.

carpe diem (olicity, nsfw) - Felicity’s arm is warm around Oliver’s bare torso as he feels her press her face against the back of his neck.

unmasked (barry-centric) - When Barry steps into Captain Singh’s office for the third time this week, he’s sure that this is it.

one more promise (spartancanary, nsfw) - John waits until Curtis and Rene are out of earshot before he speaks, just as Dinah meets his eyes.

new beginnings (snowest) - It’s the little things Caitlin notices first.

behind the mask (spartancanary) - It’s colder than John anticipates when he emerges from the bathroom, and he wishes he had put more than just his pants as he shivers and then reenters Dinah’s bedroom.

supplication (zamaya) - “Knock, knock,” Amaya says teasingly as the doors to Zari’s room slide open.

impossible (spartancanary) - Dinah is in one of the interrogation rooms in the precinct, alone, writing some notes after having questioned a suspect for armed robbery.

dessert (olicity, nsfw) - They barely make it through the front door of the loft when Oliver can’t resist landing a kiss on the nape of her neck, his hand sweeping her hair out of the way.

one and only (olicity, nsfw) - She’s not sure what she’s expecting in the box, exactly - jewellery, maybe (but they’re not together, so he wouldn’t get her that, surely).

partners (spartancanary) - The sweat feels cold on Dinah’s back as she sighs, bo-staff in her hand, and looks up at John.

the rungs of his broken ribs (spartancanary, nsfw) - Boom.

team spartan-canary (spartancanary) - The first time it happens, she’s not surprised, exactly.

for better or for worse (westallen) - (IRIS is sitting up in bed, wearing a shirt of BARRY’s and panties, engrossed in what she’s doing on her tablet.

extend your hand to me (dutchjohnny) - The sound of a loud cry rouses Johnny from his sleep instantly; he sits up, wincing at the pain he can still feel where Yalena shot him in the shoulder.

I’ll take care of you (dutchjohnny) - “You want to quit all this and run? I call shotgun.”

I will not be afraid of your scars (lauryssa, nsfw) - The candles in Laurel’s fireplace burn hot, bright, bathing the living room in a soft yellow glow.

okay, uh, patterns? idk, describing the setting badly? and occasionally dialogue, but either way it’s always vague and not good, lol. also I use “the” or “a” to start my opening sentences and tbh that’s also very annoying.

tagging (not quite ten but ah well): @therewas-a-girl @captainriphunter @karasunovolleygays @crollalanzaa @trufflemores @theshipsfirstmate @smilinstar

Olicity Fanfic Rec List:

(You’ll find all of these on AO3 unless I specify otherwise)

There’s so much love in this fandom and a great way to express them is to write fanfiction! I’ve had a tiny but if a difficult time recently - my mum was ill, ambulances, hospital and lost of chocolate (me) was involved - and I haven’t been able to write a thing.

Coming back to it, I took a quick look through all the bookmarks I’ve near-to obsessed over in the past and thought I’d write this list. @scu11y22 is to thank so if you actually manage to find one you haven’t read, then go send her a word :)

(This list is not exhaustive) They are to be: multi-chapt, slow burn, well written, mature, no threesomes (ditto x 1000), no kids and AU/canon divergent... and not @so-caffeinated and @dust2dust34 AMAZING FICON

So.

Legacies series by @chronicolicity

Part 1 is called You’re His Hope ( Felicity struggling to save Oliver's humanity after losing him to the League of Assassins. Anything else would legit be a spoiler. Expect drama, romance, angst, humor, plot and plot TWISTS. Sparked by some amazing Tumblr theories I apologize in advance for completely ruining.) And so on and so forth.

The Crow

(Bratva Captain Oliver Queen has been looking for revenge his entire life. When he can’t trust his own family, the Bratva to get it, he finds the answer to all of his problems in Felicity Smoak; a genius hacker who is running for her life from the same object of Oliver’s hatred, The Triad. With an unlikely partnership, The Crow might just find out that light can shine in the darkest of places.)

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING EVER TO EXIST BY @anthfan JUST MAYBE?

AO3 Address: Anthfan

(My personal fav is the Devil’s Backbone)

When the Day Comes 

“Have you talked to her?”

“Yeah.”

“So you'll call her-” Thea sent a teary look back through the window at Tommy.

“I'll call her if he wakes up.”

“When,” she gripped him fiercely then, her little nails digging into his forearm, “when Tommy wakes up.”

Oliver nodded, “Yes, of course.” His tone as hollow as his smile had been.

An all time favourite of mine: Sins by @smoakandarrow

(Oliver Queen is alive.After being presumed dead in a violent shipwreck five years ago, Oliver Queen returns to Starling City determined to right the wrongs of his family. But the billionaire playboy's homecoming stirs more than feelings for joy; it threatens secrets someone is determined to keep buried. Secrets that threaten the life Oliver has just reclaimed, and the lives of those he loves the most.Vowing to protect his family at any cost, Oliver digs deeper, bringing danger to his doorstep, and leaving him with the shocking realization that the sins of the past are rooted much closer to home than he ever thought.When friends may be enemies, when enemies may be his best allies, when love is used as a smokescreen to hide the most vicious hate, Oliver isn't sure who he can trust. He just knows that he'll do anything to protect those he loves... even it means dying all over again.)

You Have Not Failed This Verse  by @so-caffeinated

(Sometimes a payday ain't exactly what it seems.) Don’t let the brief description fool you. It’s incredible.

Hands 

(Felicity knows her place in Oliver's life. She's the sidekick not the love interest. But in the Summer after the artificial earthquake lots of things can change.)

The Ways of the Universe 

(No two epic love stories are the same. For Oliver and Felicity, it's quite the long road. What with all the crime-fighting, and super-secret identities, and emotionally-stunted men, and old flames, and meddlesome friends and family. Some goats, too. Picks up right after the end of 'City of Heroes' (2x01). Any similarities with the rest of S2 are, for the most part, coincidental.)

What Happened in Vegas - a very different take on the usual Vegas hookup fics

(It's all fun and games until you wake up hung-over and married to a stranger. Five years ago Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak made a drunken mistake that could never be corrected. After years on a hellish island he comes back as a man on a mission only to find out that what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. (Season One Rewrite))

Every single story by @supersillyanddorky06 but especially Predator

(Oliver Queen is the one anomaly in the Chicago Outfit. He is the only non-blooded member to be a part of the high circle in the family. His reputation precedes him and he is their best hunter. Felicity Smoak, daughter of the Starling boss, infiltrates his house, intent on killing him. But a startling encounter tips the scales. He goes on the prowl and she escapes. Hate, heat, and friction. Sparks. But something bigger is happening in their world. And despite their disagreements, only they can fight it down. Mob AU. Not Bratva. Enemies-lovers. You'll want to bash their heads sometimes. Stuff will happen. Enjoy! )

The Legacy Series by @ash818 (I’m sort of in love with this universe: it involves Oliver and Felicity’s children and it’s a wonderful and very serious - possibly quite honest - look at what the future might look like for them. Plus, I wrote a one-shot for this. SHE’S THAT GOOD.)

(It's 2039, and Jonathan Queen cannot stop looking for trouble. Then trouble finds him and his family, and Jonny discovers that there is more to his parents than he ever suspected. He must learn to bear the weight of his parents' past, and he must learn fast, because time is running out for his mother.)

Most of these aren’t finished but this one hurts me because it’s been left alone:

Somewhere Out There

(When Felicity falls through a gate that takes her to a parallel universe, she finds herself in a world that is so much like her own, except for one very important thing.)

Layers 

(I feel sad. Wanted something to cheer myself up. This is the result.I have no set dates for updating, so bear with me.This is the Bratva fic no one wanted. Note - I like that Oliver isn't possessive. I also like when women have agency. You will find both here. This is a Oliver/Felicity-centric story.)

His Girl Wednesday and Some Things Are Meant to Be

Insanely long fics (THANK GOD): Missing her interview for a position in the IT department of QC, Felicity Smoak meets Oliver Queen, son of the CEO and future CEO himself. Only Oliver doesn’t take the company as seriously as he should and after yet another fiasco with his assistant, his mother decides to take matter into her own hands and select one with more qualifications than long legs and deep cleavage. In an effort to get her off his back, he pretends he already hired one: the blonde nerdy girl he met a few minutes ago.Or when Arrow and Ugly Betty crash in my head (except we all know Felicity could never be ugly). It is mostly Arrow, I borrow a few plot ideas/characters from Ugly Betty.

Sequel: Three years ago, Oliver went on a cruise on the Gambit and never came back, leaving Felicity devastated. She forced herself to move on with her life, trying to forget that the love they had shared was one she'd never get to live again.

Except Oliver didn't die on that boat. But no matter how much he wants to, he knows he can't come back. Too many things happened, and the only way to keep his loved ones safe is to stay as far away from them as possible.

It all changes when Felicity starts questioning the circumstances of the accident that took him away from her...

One More From the Top

(In the aftermath of his fight with Ras Al Ghul, Oliver finds himself somewhere unexpected: his hospital room when he first came back from the Island.With a second chance to right the mistakes he’s made since coming back to Starling City, what will Oliver do to save the people he’s loved and lost?Will he be able to change his past or will be he forced to watch history repeat itself?)

Break

(After the events of Unthinkable, Felicity burns out from Arrow activities. So she takes a step back to get some air. This story tracks Felicity's journey of becoming a heroine in her own right as she helps form the Justice League.)

Good, Better, Best Series by redtoes - a three part series each specifying how O + F got together and stayed together. Not very long but 15 chapters so...

The Grand Adventures of Felicity Smoak 

(a.k.a How Felicity did not save the day.Felicity's father comes back only to take her away from the life and the people she loves. But sometimes, it takes a series of misadventures for a girl to discover how badass she really is and how valuable she is to her friends. She gets in trouble, gets rich, gets in trouble, gets hurt, gets in trouble again and gets the guy.Canon divergence. From in mid s02 before the revelation of Slade Wilson.)

Another I need to mention - though it isn’t a multi-chap slow burn - is: This Love Thing

Also a short fic but there aren’t that many slow burns around :) is Love Me Like I’m Not Made of Stone

(When meeting Felicity, Oliver has a flashback. Afterwards, he flees, leaving behind his 'latted' laptop. She further investigates on her own, but lurking underneath everything else is Felicity's concern for Oliver. Just like with anything that matters to her – she doesn't know why he matters but he does, she can't let the episode – what she fears to be PTSD – go.)

The Darkest Hour

(just weeks after moving to Starling City, Felicity Smoak is kidnapped for information she does not have. She endures weeks of torture before she is rescued by a man in green leather and his partner, John Diggle. As Felicity begins to put the pieces of her life back together, she realizes the trauma she suffered changed her in unexpected ways. Restless and with a driving need to help others the way the man in green helped her, she finds herself using her brilliant mind and considerable computer skills to follow a different path fraught with danger and violence. As Felicity grows closer to the Green Arrow and Diggle, helping them in their cause to save Starling City, the three struggle against unseen enemies, and discover the unexpected truth behind her kidnapping.)

All in a Day’s Work

(By 9:00 a.m., she had broken a heel, lost her cell phone, and been the victim of a coffee catastrophe. By 9:30 a.m. she had “borrowed” the NSA mainframe. By 10:00 a.m., she was engaged to Oliver Queen. Really, it was all in a day’s work. Plotty, fluffy fun with a side dish of heart.)

The Best of Friendships have Benefits

(like Communism or time travel, having a sex-buddy sounds a lot better in theory than in practice. However, Oliver and Felicity see it as a means to rebuild each other. So, inevitable consequences be damned, they still give it a go, not expecting to gain a whole lot more than what they initially bargained for.)

Also, most fics by @yellowflicker09011996 will make you want to tear out your own heart but one of my favourites is: All The Worthy Places  (They say if you get hungry enough, you start eating your own heart. When she sits on top of him, arms and legs tight around him and kisses his mouth like she wants to eat him alive, Oliver believes it. ) and To Rage Against the Dying Light (There could be no time to think, no moment to feel. The dark was going to engulf him till there was nothing left, if he so much as flinched.He had known grief and he had known fear but this… this was wordless.Nobody had ever told him that ruin felt so much like death.)

The Fall Verse by @callistawolf

(Taking place directly after the events in “Sacrifice” (the season 1 finale), Felicity tries to pull Oliver back from the edge. But is Oliver ready to be pulled back? Or is he ready for the fall?)

Step By Step

(During the summer between seasons two and three, Oliver and Felicity are attempting to navigate their new status post-fake but not actually fake I love you's, and a kiss that may or may not have meant everything. Or: What would have been different for Oliver and Felicity if that summer had been about both of them truly coming to terms with what they meant to each other. Basically - Felicity decides to live her life, and Oliver realizes that her life doesn’t necessarily include him as much as he may want. How he reacts, and how Felicity responds to his actions, shape the future of their relationship.)

City of Fallen heroes

(Five years ago, Felicity was kidnapped and forced to do the unthinkable in order to return home. Convinced she couldn’t be the loving wife Oliver deserved, she left and tried to keep her darkness from hurting their daughters. The return of an old enemy will force Felicity to decide if she’s the monster she thought she was— or the hero her family believes her to be.)

Absolution

(It’s been two years since the Atom invented a plague that wiped out most of Starling City. With a ruthless government agency in control, and a hooded vigilante fighting to shut the Atom down, Felicity Smoak quickly learns that life post-apocalypse isn’t exactly like it seemed in movies.)

He Deserves a Shot at Being Happy alos by @chronicolicity

(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.) It’s so good guys... THE SLOWEST OF SLOW BURNS BUT SO FLIPPING REWARDING.

In Another Life

(Their lives couldn't be more different - and yet Oliver can't take his eyes off the beautiful blonde woman that leaves the subway every morning at 7.43am. There is something about her that makes him look up every morning - something that also makes him aware he'll never be good enough for her, or that she'd even notice him.He had no idea how much his life would change the day he rushed over to help her...Olicity AU - no Lian Yu, no saving the city (at least not in the way we know from Arrow :D ))

Felicity Takes a Holiday

(Frustrated by Oliver's apparent indifference, Felicity takes a solo trip to NYC where she meets with unexpected dangers. Is it super-soldiers amped up on Mirakuru, or Beasts created by Muirfield? Starts at the end of Season 2; a story of how Oliver comes to realize that he is in love with Felicity, told with help from CW's Beauty and the Beast and a whole lot of Diggle.)

THERE AREN’T THAT MANY SLOW BURNS @scu11y22

[the-ships-to-rule-them-all]

Tagged by @sometimesrosy! thanks babe, wow I haven’t written fic in months 

1. what is your most popular fic by kudos? comments? bookmarks? are they all the same?

my most popular fic by all marks is We Can Have All That We Ever Want, my first poly rangers fic and the month where I wrote about 15k in like 3 weeks. even though the verse hasn’t been updated since may, it’s still getting a lot of kudos. 

this fic has 719 kudos, 103 comments, and 122 bookmarks and it has been read 10,290 times. 

it’s all insane

2. do you have a favorite of your fics? if not, do you have one you’re most proud of? why?

I’m most proud of my Stydia Big Bang fic, it’s a world war ii au that’s 20k words long called Love in a Warzone. 

I researched a lot for this fic and really got in the zone writing it and seeing people have such great reactions makes my day. 

3. what fandom/ship (if you write for more than one) is your favorite to write for?

I really enjoy writing for the Poly Rangers ship, I feel like I’ve carved out a tiny niche within the Power Rangers fandom. But at the same time, I absolutely love writing Bellarke fic because they’re my babes and I love them so much. 

4. do you have any fics that got more popularity/attention than you expected? if so what were they?

I was shocked at how popular my angsty supercorp fic was, We’re Not Lovers, and also my post finale Olicity spec fanfic was, I don’t think anyone could ever love you (the way I love you)

I wrote them both on the same day, the day I wrote 5k words in like 11 hours. 

5. where do you get your ideas/inspiration from? do you have a fic that you feel is particularly unique in that area?

mainly from my desire to see the fic and realizing I have to write it myself. A lot of it stems from headcanons and needing to write missing moments or first kisses, I have a surprising amount of first kiss fanfics. 

I think my most unique idea is my Ambassadors of Earth verse, which is where the entire universe thinks all the rangers are dating. I keep coming back and adding lines to my word doc at points because I always have ideas. Also the reincarnation series I’m co-writing with @justiceleague2017dirzacksnyder is completely unique and literally comes from a gifset that she made. IT’S GREAT

again for some reason I get very creative because of the ot5

6. do you have a favorite character to write POV for?

I adore writing all the Rangers povs but Jason and Trini come most easily to me. Actually, the vast majority of my fics are multi-pov but I find it easiest to write Bellamy, Lydia and Trini. 

7. what’s your favorite sidepairing to include?

I think I included Scalia in LOVE IN A WARZONE when I first came up with the idea last November and to almost predict canon is honestly super cool. I don’t actually include a lot of side pairings

8. do you have a fic you feel is underrated in comparison to your other fics? or you just wish more people would read?

LOVE IN A WARZONE, it’s a 20k, world war ii, character centric au that has been read by so few people. I think it’s completely underrated and I wish people read more of it. 

also Fates’s Rewrite, a modern dectective bellarke au with some reincarnation mixed, it’s one that I stopped writing, not because I don’t have ideas but there was literally no feedback at all and I don��t have the desire to write it when no one’s reading it. It’s probably my most fascinating idea but I just haven’t had any spark at all

9. what’s something you would go back and change in one of your fics?

god, I always want to go back and do another round of editing. but it’s more I want to add things. I’d add more Bellamy and Clarke stuff to Fates’s Rewrite, right not it’s just a lot of the Greek Gods and that’s less important. 

10. what is your favorite sort of comment to receive on a fic?

“Holy shit, I fucking love how you're writing this, what you're including, and the time you're taking to create honest, vivid introspection for EACH GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER. Bless bless you. I'm avidly looking forward to the next chapter and where you will take this after all the "intros" are done!! (Or maybe I'm assuming too much, I love this fic regardless).” this comment on  We Can Have All That We Ever Want is my favorite comment, sometimes I just go find this comment and grin like a loon and feel better about my writing. That fic also has some of the greatest comments I’ve ever received and sometimes I just go and read all the comments and want to write fic again. like now 

11. what are your favorite genres of fic to write? (e.g. modern au, hurt/comfort, fluff, angst, etc.)

fluff with angst is my sweet spot but I also really love missing moments

12. what are your favorite tropes to write?

5+1 things, outsider PoV, fake relationship, I love fake relationship

13. do you write fics similar to what you enjoy reading or completely different? both?

both

14. what’s your writing process like?

I get the idea and it usually just sticks itself in my head for hours, nagging at me. Eventually I write it down and depending on how my muse is, I write it all in one go or it happens over months with a random burst of inspiration here and there. 

15. multi-chapter, oneshot, or drabble?

drabble collections, a lot of oneshots but I also do write a decent amount of multi-chapter fanfic, especially in my drafts

16. if someone was only going to read one of your fics, which would you want them to read?

honestly, either LOVE IN A WARZONE or We Can Have All That We Ever Want

Star Stuff by imfallingforyoureyes102 (2/2, 25 May 2019 ) - “The nitrogen in our DNA,” Felicity pauses, her eyes turned to the ceiling as if in thought, “the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood,” Oliver’s turns away from the window to face her, “The carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars.

(Or, Walter Steele doesn't really know what to think of his stepson's budding relationship with his executive assistant - he doesn't want to think about what it means.

Five years in, he should consider Anna his mom, but that would mean he had to consider Ed his dad and he already had a dad.

He didn't think that was totally fair but the mandatory soul-bond test for college applicants wasn't fair either. Apparently his grade meant he was going to go to college, but still - today sucked.

tagged by: well technically no one but I saw @anonymous033​ do this and I thought it would be a fun way to procrastinate some more. I’m going to change things up a bit, though, and do either the first two sentences or the first paragraph, whichever is longer.

rules: list the first lines of your last 20 stories (or however many you have altogether). see if there are any patterns. then, tag your favorite authors.

1. “Oliver… Oliver,” Felicity says softly, “I - show me where it hurts. And I’ll make it okay.”

Oliver reaches out, hand scrabbling until he finds her wrist. “Just… tell me that you’ll stay. With me. For now.” 

Tell Me That You’ll Stay (Oliver/Felicity; T)

2. “John, it’s - it - it - it’s over for me. I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m shutting everything down.”

Felicity watches as Oliver winces in pain. 

Show Me Where it Hurts (will you make it okay?) (Oliver/Felicity; T)

3.  (The dawn is just beginning to break, bright threads of white light appearing in the dark blue sky, illuminating the LOFT with a soft glow. BARRY and IRIS are in bed, and IRIS - clad in one of BARRY’s t-shirts - is regarding him sympathetically, one hand going up to his bare chest.)

The Highway of Regret (Iris/Barry; T)

4. The taste of herself is strange on Iris’s tongue; somehow she’s grown unused to it after Eddie died and the taste is unusual, a sharp sweetness that she licks away from Barry’s tongue in a messy open-mouthed kiss. It’ll take getting used to, like a lot of things, but she’s not exactly complaining when Barry’s gazing at her like she hung the stars in the night sky herself.

Heartbeat (Iris/Barry; E)

5.  It’s the middle of the night when Iris sighs, turning on her side, wishing she could sleep. Barry’s hand is on her bare hip and he’s asleep on her shoulder, but when she moves he begins to stir, and inwardly Iris groans, then holds her breath as she waits for Barry to wake up.

A Thousand Trials (Iris/Barry; M)

6.  The sound of Oliver and Mckenna leaving makes Tommy look up briefly from where he’s standing near the dying candles in the dining room as he watches Laurel waving them away. She shuts the door behind them, making her way over to Tommy, just as he blows out the candle so the flickering flames extinguish.

Glass Over the Flame (Tommy/Laurel; E)

7.  The dawn is just beginning to break when Nyssa steps out of the bathroom, and Laurel watches as she stops for a moment to watch the silver threads of light appear in the sky through the window. Outside, the adhaan begins, sounding almost musical as it rouses worshippers in the early morning. Laurel’s not used to it, even after having served in Beirut, but she decides she likes it. She’s always been an early riser anyway, and there’s something about the way Nyssa sighs contentedly, pulling Laurel’s kimono more firmly around her, that tugs unexpectedly at Laurel’s heartstrings.

Surrender (Laurel/Nyssa; E)

8.  (The elevator of the BUNKER reaches the right floor, with LAUREL inside. She’s clad in her Black Canary gear, twirling her bo-staff in her hand absent-mindedly, the other hand holding her mask, and when the doors open she’s greeted with the sound of punches on a sparring dummy. She walks in and finds DIGGLE, bare chest shiny with sweat, punching the dummy.)

Resurrected Siblings (Laurel-centric; G)

9.  The sound of raindrops splattering against the window wakes Barry with a start. He smiles, though, because of the arm wrapped around his waist and the leg curled around his right ankle.

Raindrops (Iris/Barry; M)

10. BARRY: To things not being normal.

OLIVER (lifting his bottle): To life being full.

A Gift (Iris-centric; T)

11. Iris shivers as she quietly shuts the door of the bathroom behind her, wishing she had put on more than just Barry’s shirt when she’d gotten up a few minutes ago. She tiptoes back to their new bed, not wanting to wake Barry, but when she comes back inside the bedroom she finds Barry is awake, looking out of the window.

The Light of the Sunrise (Iris/Barry; M) 

12.  LAUREL: Whatever happens - I still need you in my life. Always will. OLIVER: We’ve gone through too much together for it to be any other way.

I Don’t Deserve Your Love (but you give it to me anyway) (Oliver/Laurel; G)

13. “I love you, Barry Allen,” Iris tells him, arms still around his neck, and her eyes are alight with something warm and bright.

Barry smiles back, making Iris’s heart soar, as he replies immediately, “I love you, Iris West.”

All For You (Iris/Barry; E)

14.  “God, I’ve missed you,” Barry murmurs to her after they surface from another lovely long kiss. They’re on Iris’s couch, and Iris is straddling Barry’s lap, knees locking him into place.

One Day (Iris/Barry; G)

15. The sound of the shower running greets Oliver as he pads barefoot across the cold tiles of his bathroom floor.

“Hey,” he calls, and he can’t see her face yet but he doesn’t need to; he can hear the smile in Laurel’s voice as she replies.

My Sweet Dream (Oliver/Laurel; E)

16. It’s late, almost eleven o’clock, when Iris finally gets to her feet and says she’s going home.

“‘Kay, honey,” Joe says, stifling a yawn with his hand.

Stay (Iris/Barry; G)

17.  It’s a little after ten p.m. when Iris walks up the street to the Wests’ house and opens the door. The streetlamp flickers a little behind her, and the sky is clear save for a thin sheet of cloud that half-conceals the moon. She shuts the door carefully behind her. She wants to surprise Barry – she knows her dad isn’t in (she just saw him working late at the precinct) and Wally’s out with Jesse, she’s pretty sure.

Release (Iris/Barry; E)

18. “We don’t have to,” Laurel says, but she doesn’t move from her position on her bed, her knees anchoring Oliver into place on her bed as she straddles him.

Ollie shakes his head.

You and Me Against the World (Oliver/Laurel; E)

19.  The tears are still in Iris’s eyes when she knocks on Barry’s door tentatively, phone still in hand. Hastily she wipes her eyes just before Barry opens the door to her.

Moving On (Iris/Barry; G)

20.  The living room is warm, the couch cosy beneath her, the wine they’re drinking sweet on Iris’s tongue. She meets his eyes, smiles, and there’s something beautiful about the way his eyes light up in the glow of the candles around them that makes it hard for her to speak.

Kiss Me (like you want to be loved) (Iris/Barry; M)

patterns: um, idk? I like describing settings, but I also like starting a fic medias res. I’m not sure what is more effective tbh. also my nsfw fics thankfully don’t start off nsfw, for the most part, so there’s nothing cringey in here, thank god. also somehow I started writing olicity again, like, whut?
