Aug. 31st, 2013 06:37 pmYou know how sometimes, when you get all over-invested in a TV show or whatever...and then you find out that the fledgling fandom is sadly lacking?
But occasionally, an author you like and trust starts writing in that fandom, and it's awesome.
Anyway, that just happened to me:
Strategy (9147 words) by LJC
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Arrow (TV 2012)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen & Felicity Smoak, John Diggle & Oliver Queen
Characters: Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen, John Diggle
Additional Tags: Five Plus One, all the kissing tropes ever in the history of ever
Summary:
BTW, if you have no idea what Arrow is, it's...well, not good in the way something like The West Wing is good, but it's totally great nonetheless. I was super dubious when my sister talked me into it, but it turned out to be really fun. This is the first time I've ever really liked Green Arrow; Stephen Amell sorta did for Oliver Queen what Mark Ruffalo did for Bruce Banner, for me. The plots are excellently ridiculous in the way only comic-based fare can be, and John Barrowman gets to play a villain. Then you have Felicity, who (like Illya Kuryakin before her) was originally intended as a blonde bit part, only was too awesome to contain (also like Illya), and shot from "five minutes of IT girl" to "second season regular." Basically, the Felicity-Oliver-Diggle show is what I'm watching, and that is made of win.
Also, there's a reason you get a lot of hits when you google "arrow shirtless". (I was going to link to tumblr, but apparently they're shunning non-members now? just google it.) I would like to thank Stephen Amell for making all our lives a better place through the careful application of gleaming abs. And shoulders. And leather pants.

The first time it happened, Oliver thought it was a fluke.
