Hello my dears :)

Here I go again with one more work. Don't worry, I'm not abandoning none of my oldest one, I assure you.

Let's talk about this one, shall we? I'm sure I won't be the only one doing this kind of collection, but the more the better, right. My intention is to write a one shot/ficlet per episode of any headcanon, missing scenes, etc., that I come up with watching season 4.

The first one, tho, is based on the promo :) It's really short... just a try, to warm up the writing engines, you know.

Hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!

4x00 - THE RING

Many would say he was going too fast, and maybe he was. But Oliver Queen was no longer willing to waste a single moment to hold on to happiness. When Felicity accepted to go away with him and settle down away from Starling- Star City, he knew they were going to be together forever.

In the months that had passed since their departure, he couldn't have been happier, even if he had tried. He had the life he thought would never have. Waking every morning with the woman he loves next to him, their bodies entangled under the sheets, brought him a joy that he never knew before. His only concern was to get to know Felicity better, to love her as she deserves. There were no criminals to catch, no crazy maniac wanting to destroy the city.

Just the two of them.

It had passed only four months, twenty-one days, fifteen hours, giving or taking a few minutes when he saw it. It was a Sunday morning, and Oliver was making his way back to the house that he and Felicity had rented. Their home. Indulging Felicity's desire to sleep in that day, he left her curled up in bed, while he went to bring breakfast for her. He bought her favorite croissants from a small French bakery that they found a few of weeks before.

Right next to the bakery, there was a jewelry store. Oliver never paid it attention the other times he had gone to Le Petit Paradis, but something caught his eye that morning. In the store window, there was a delicate diamond ring put on a pedestal. The solitary jewel stood above all others. He wasn't sure if it was a new display or it had been there for months.

Watching the outstanding trinket, the idea struck. He learned that Felicity wasn't woman to use rings often, yet the clean, simple and elegant piece gave him the feeling that it was the kind she would use. He wasn't sure where the idea had come from. It could have been the dream he had three nights ago in which he saw to Felicity walking the aisle moments before becoming his wife. Or maybe it was the need to assure her that his intentions about her were absolutely serious. Or simply because he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

The reason didn't matter. What mattered was that in that moment he decided to propose to the love of his life.

To his chagrin, the store was closed. He had to wait twenty-four hours later to finally get the engagement ring. And for two long days, he prepared the perfect dinner... the perfect moment for dropping the question.
