Ra's trains & teaches Al Sah-Him a lesson in obeying by using Felicity. Begins after S3E20 in Nanda Parbat. Warning MATURE. Mainly cannon until right before Oliver & Felicity lives begin after S3E23 then AU. Oliver's PTSD, the couple's real life. Warning like Arrow writers, I'm dark. WARNING MAJOR ANGST but a great ride. The CW owes all rights to Arrow. I own my part of the story.

After losing Oliver to the League of Assassins, fighting a war for his soul, and dealing with a bout of memory loss (long story), Felicity finally has Oliver back. But when Starling City faces a new threat, the investigation leads Team Arrow to a startling revelation about Oliver's past that could only drive a wedge between him and Felicity. A sequel to You're His Hope, S4 fic.

The Arrow is now the hero to the citizens of Starling. Oliver Queen is basking in his success and tries to have a private life. But the moment he takes his eye of the game, old villains reappear in Starling and deadlier threats hold his city hostage, the war is far from over. Can he still be the Arrow and Oliver Queen? Has flashbacks.

Felicity struggles 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.
