Happy Mancrush Monday

July 6th was International Kissing Day but we all know that every day should be Olicity Kissing Day!  :)  On Mancrush Monday, let’s appreciate all the many ways Oliver has kissed Felicity over the years and get his perspective on them  ;)  

The non-canon it’s a ruse to fool a Mirakuru-powered psycho but I’m only fooling myself because I’ve totes been in love with you for ages but I’m a broody pine tree with my head up my ass so I haven’t been able to tell you until just now kiss

The angsty af I can’t let you walk away without knowing the sweet taste of your lips and how your face feels in my hands even though I continue to be a broody pine tree with my head up my ass don’t ask me to say I don’t love you kiss

The bittersweet I’m going to duel an almost immortal assassin leader and even though we aren’t together because I’m a broody pine tree I just want to feel your skin under lips and breathe in the scent of the hair to sustain me on my journey and give me strength as I face my enemy because I’m completely in love with you and can’t even pretend to hide it anymore kiss

The very sexy OMG you love me too this would be the best day of my whole life if I wasn’t a self-sacrificing pine tree but I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long and I couldn’t let you go right now if my life depended on it kiss

The incredibly hawt I’ve only got one night with you before I give my soul (and this amazing body) to the LOA so I’m gonna make sure this is the best sex of your life kiss

The soft and sweet after-afterglow I love you even more and I didn’t think that was possible kiss

The heartbreaking I know I have to let you go in order to fulfill my obligation and Ra's prophecy except I don’t know how to let you go when every fiber of my being is crying out to you, for you, in a silent unspoken plea for all the things I will never get to have with you-peaceful days...passion-filled nights....marriage... golden-haired baby geniuses...a life and my only hope is now that I’ve been part of you and I’ve given you every part of me Oliver Queen will live on in you kiss

The blissfully domestic you can’t cook to save your life but you like me when I’m sweaty and I’m so damn happy that I can barely stop smiling long enough to kiss you kiss

The yin-yang I’m amazed we’ve made it this far but we’re gonna be fine because we found ourselves in each other kiss

The passionate I now understand why you find the salmon ladder so hot kiss

The adorable I’m such a smitten dork that I went out and bought a nerd emoji key chain for you, put the key to my apartment on it and even gift wrapped it because I want you in my life more, like all the time would be really great since you already have the key to my heart kiss or more succinctly put.....

The adoring my gorgeous future wifey loves touching and kissing my face and IDevenGAF that we’re in the middle of a crowded restaurant and she’s probably leaving red lipstick marks all over my face cause I want everyone to know we are back together and my heart, face, and everything else belongs to her kiss

The eager and enthusiastic we made it all the way through dinner without any interruptions and now it’s time for dessert kiss

This is the kiss right before Slade calls.  Not only did that guy fatally stab Moira, now he is trying to kill Oliver’s libido.  My AU head canon for this scene is when Felicity handed him handed him the phone and he heard it was Slade, he said new phone who dis and flung it across the room.  He then flung Felicity over his shoulder and carried her upstairs to the bedroom because that couch wasn’t big enough for what he had planned for dessert.

The cute and charming I’m so happy you’re here I’ve missed you so much and I want to come home to you every day for the rest of my life kiss

The epic full-suit ‘nothing matters except that I love you’ kiss

The ardent MasterChef of Chez Queen I just wanted a night to remind myself of what I’m fighting for and it’s definitely you baby kiss

The gentle reunited and it feels so good kiss

The I remember everything about you from the first moment we met including the color of the pen you were chewing but you actually thought I would forget our wedding anniversary and the exact words I said to you when we got married kiss

The Arrow writers ripped my Olicity-loving/they deserved a happy ending heart out and stomped on it  ‘we are buried in broken dreams, we are knee-deep without a plea, I don't want to know what it's like to live without you, don't want to know the other side of a world without you’ kiss

Oh, you didn’t think I was gonna end this on that depressing note, did you?  Nope, I’m not one of the Arrow writers lol.  In this Mancrush Monday AU, Aunt Nyssa, Aunt Thea and Uncle Roy are babysitting Mia while Oliver and Felicity finally get to go on their honeymoon.  This is the I’m the happiest man in the whole world kiss (and yes, that was the caption this adorable smitten sap used on Snapchat because our once broody pine tree chose something to live for and is living the life he (and the love of his life) deserve). <3

Bonus gif!  The fervent we are having a wonderful time in Bali and currently conceiving Lucas Smoak-Queen kiss ;)

Thank you to all of our amazing gifmakers! <3  Bolded lyrics on the 7x22 caption are from The Other Side by Ruelle.
