Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.
I’m curious!
I know this is wild, but people continue to enjoy things after they become adults.
Totally wish I still had the courage to write it

It’s Monday morning, which makes this fitting timing to post (I’m a painfully nostalgic person).
Below you’ll find the link to every single one of my FiCoN files. Planning, brainstorming, feedback, drafts, abandoned ideas, daydreaming… all of it. Some are barely started. Some have a lot of content. Some are just for fun. Many are misfiled (the “unposted” folder didn’t get updated for a bit).
What there is of Schism is in there too. I think you’ll see that it wasn’t working. We bit off more than we could chew there. It involved multiple universes and time travel. The idea had been to bring the original story full circle while also fully handing over the vigilante reins to the next generation. Our Ellie was going to make some very dark choices before being brought back. She was going to be the one to eventually beat Zoom, not original Ellie, making all of her attempts to be like that Ellie sort of pointless. Sara, our Sara, had actually been swapped with the other universe’s Sara some time ago, hence the strain between her and Ellie. Our Sara was being held hostage to control that Sara, which is part of what leads Ellie down a darker path for a bit. Jules was going to valiantly attempt to hold the team together as it split into sides after Ellie killed someone (Waller. It’s ARGUS who has Sara, and ARGUS who funded Domino). Will and Amelia and Alex are horrified. Nate and Connor (who is a bigger fixture in this story) and Eric think it was justified. Jules is just trying to keep things together with the “adults” out of commission (oliver is comatose. Digg and Lyla are badly hurt. Felicity is a mess. Thought she was going to pull it together and call in Moira to “fix this” in truly Moira fashion). Nate’s protective instincts were going to be front and center with all his interactions with his parents (chiefly watching over them), Alex was going to be Jules’ rock in spite of his distaste for Ellie’s actions, and Sara’s whole journey was a love letter to Ellie. Both saras and both Ellie’s. We would’ve seen original ellie one more time too. It was a COMPLICATED story with a lot of darkness in it. Late 2020 was maybe the worst time to attempt writing it, but I can’t say it would be any more manageable today. At this point, I do think it’s best left as a jumble of ideas.
Feel free to leave comments in any of the docs. If you need permissions, just let me know. I cannot thank this little community enough for the love and encouragement you’ve all given this series (and me and @dust2dust34) over the years. It’s buoyed me when I needed it most, fed my drive to create, and gave me the confidence I needed to write truly original works. I owe all of you a great debt.
As soon as I’m able (likely next month after Bre’s visit), I’ll be back writing my zombie apocalypse series (featuring these characters. The only names changing will be Oliver and Felicity). Every one of you is welcome to be someone I share early drafts with or bounce ideas off of. Just let me know if you’re interested. I am forever so grateful for your support. ❤️
If you have the opportunity, get it. If you’re eligible, get it. If you’re NOT eligible and you have a chance, get it.
If it’s due to a condition. If it’s due to your job. If it’s through a “hey our doses will expire, anybody available come quick” situation. And yes, even if it’s through a “my sister can get me in” situation.
This isn’t a selfish act, no matter how you get it. Every single person who is vaccinated helps everyone. This is a group project. There is no ethical issue with getting vaccinated “ahead of someone else.” That is not a thing. This isn’t a single-file queue and it is impossible to vaccinate everyone in an exact order of priority, all we can do is emphasize higher-risk people, which is being done whenever possible.
If you can get it, get it. You are only helping.
A/N: This chapter isn't very long but hey, it's better than nothing.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who is still reading this.
Felicity stared at Oliver wide-eyed. “Are you serious?”
“C’mon,” Oliver mounted the bike and held the helmet out to her. “I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”
Felicity was still hesitant.
”Do you trust me?” Oliver asked his eye intently on her.
“Yes,” there was no hesitation in her answer. Of course, she trusted him. That shouldn’t even be a question.
“Then trust me,” he held his hand out to her.
So sorry giod

Here we are the penultimate chapter and I can’t believe its so close to the end.
I think this one is pretty exciting and I can’t wait to hear what you think!
It’s up on AO3!
Overall fic Summary:
December 23, 2016. It’s Mayor Queen’s first holiday party and love is in the air.
No, wait, that’s tension in the air. Bitterness. Regret. Painful longing for one’s former love. Awkward interactions with current significant others. A little humiliation mixed in. Yup, this was one great party.
Then the gas came.
Maybe love was in the air after all.
Just my usual lock Oliver and Felicity in a room with a mind-altering substance with a dash of holiday magic thrown in. And, by magic, I mean Sex Pollen. And maybe a little Truth Serum to stir things up.
