Sooooo a little something my friend Jen and I cooked up over text a week or so ago. Based off of a line Felicity says in 3x08 ("And I need to get some paper weights down here.") and it just sorta took off from there.
Definitely AU and set in the future with an already established Barricity relationship. It will take place in 8 parts (one for each night of Hanukkah.)
I am not Jewish so I don't celebrate Hanukkah and I don't personally know anyone who does so if there are any mistakes I apologize ahead of time. Feel free to PM me and let me know and I would be more than happy to fix it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Flash or Arrow or any related characters. If I did Sara would still be alive and Felicity would be getting more action than just kisses.

and, whoops, posting a day late. but, i'll have second chapter up tonight to get back on schedule. lol

MENORAH PAPER WEIGHT LINK: 00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/4IcAAOxytD5SUA~K/%24T2eC16NHJH4FHdBd!gr8BSU!+KESr!~~60_

You would think having a boyfriend with super speed would mean you'd get to see him all the time - even if he lived a train ride away. That was not the case however, when both you and and your significant other were part of crime fighting vigilante groups in different cities. Sadly, crime didn't stop just because you wanted to get it on with your boyfriend.

That didn't stop them from trying, at least. Last month Barry'd been able to make the run over from Central City five times. But, as the days had gotten shorter the villains had started popping up out of the wood work and that meant, since December had started, they'd only gotten to see each other once. And that was just because a meta human had managed to pop up in Starling and they needed Barry to bring him back to STAR labs for containment. They'd only managed to make out in the corner of the Arrow Cave for a few minutes before it was time for him to go.

The point was - Felicity missed her boyfriend.

"We are here," Diggle announced from the front seat of the SUV. They'd just come from the latest mission - busting a gun trafficking ring - that had required all hands on deck. Even if Felicity's hands were mostly on her laptop. In the end, they'd nailed everyone involved and had left them tied up and waiting for good ole SCPD to haul them off. Now, they were heading back to the Arrow Cave to get their stuff and head home for the night.

"Did you send all the information to Laurel?" Oliver asked as they headed through the back door of Verdant.

Felicity nodded, "Yeah, she'll have a busy day tomorrow." Of course, that was nothing new since Laurel had been appointed head DA. She'd had a constant influx of criminals thanks to the Arrow team (and sometimes her, when they needed her to don her Black Canary persona.)

The lair was a pretty consistent place - things stayed where they example, the salmon ladder in front of her computers - she was taken, not blind. But right now there was something a little different - a small present sitting on her desk in front of her keyboard.

Oliver was pushing her beind him, towards the door, at the same moment Diggle pushed past them both to make sure whatever it was wasn't going to explode. At almost the same moment, Felicity's phone vibrated in pocket, letting her know she'd just gotten a text message.

Barry Allen: Did you get my present?

"Oh," Felicity looked over at where the guys were examining the present, "It's okay, not a bomb just a present - obviously. It's from Barry."

"How'd he get in?" Oliver asked, a frown on his face.

Felicity shrugged, "Wouldn't be too hard, he has the code and the sensors would accept his fingerprint."

"Since when?" Oliver asked, frown pulling at his lips, "Anyone else?"

Felicity just shook her head and ignored Oliver, used to his poutiness when it came to the other Supers, as she made her way to the present and picked it up, eager to see what was below the blue wrapping paper. The small black box, a little bigger than the palm of her hand, held no name brands or other indicators as to what might be in it other than a small note card with her name on it taped to the top.

Flipping it open, she quickly read the message aloud, "Felicity, a little something for the next time I pop around. Happy Hanakkuh. Love, Barry."

"It's Hanakkuh?" Roy asked, looking at Felicity before turning to where Oliver and Diggle stood, "Was I suppose to get her a present, too?"

"No Roy," Felicity chuckled as she slowly pulled what looked like a clear rock out of the little box, "You don't have to actually get me anything, I barely celebrate Hanakkuh anymore aside from some prayers, lightning my menorah, and making some latkes. Hmm, Barry got me a paperweight. Guess he has been listening."

Diggle scoffed, "That boy hangs off your every word."

"He's like a puppy," Oliver added and Felicity shot him a glare as she set the paperweight down on a stack of papers next to her keyboard.

"What's in it?" Roy asked, sliding over to look at the little rock.

"A little menorah," Felicity smiled, "I'm a little peeved he didn't bother sticking around for a little face time."

"Sucking face time," Roy scoffed as he picked the paper weight up and examined it.

"I thought I said no making out in the Lair," Oliver said.

"Oh like that's ever stopped you before," Felicity snatched the weight back from Roy, "Now, if you'll excuse me I have a call to make to an absent boyfriend. Don't forget, Oliver, meeting tomorrow morning at 8:45. Don't be late, please." She quickly gathered her bag and headed up the stairs.
