Enter My World

This came to me after seeing the train wreck of what Robert Queen has done. Two powerful families of Starling/Star City have failed so many people including themselves. Anyways I decided to write a piece that is like Bizzaro World where The Merlyns and Queens didn’t screw everything up and actually were pillars of the community, and omg good parents past and future.

So, I was writing for the OFAE project and got stuck in the middle part so when that happens other stories pop in my head like this one. I need to write them down and maybe explore more in depth. I have no idea if anyone will want to read this… But its like therapy for writer’s block. I need to figure a piece out in my OFAE gift to push forward. I’m so close to being done once this hurdle is past.

Anyways if you like or not, I’m always open for criticism or whatnot. Thanks for reading my babbles.

Of course, I had to create an age graph. LOL

Now to the premise of an AU Olicity story...

The Merlyn household normally silent at two in the morning. Little pattering of feet stops at a large wooden door as little fingers wrap themselves around the antique knob and cracks the door open enough to fit through. With another thunderous clap and flashing light filtering through the large windows the little girl dashes to the bed hoping the occupant there will let her hide under the covers as the storm passes through. The older boy already sensing his visitor pushes the bedcovers up so she can slide in. His embrace calming them both as the rainstorm has them on alert. The shapes of the tree branches making shadowy monsters dancing upon the walls keeping him frozen in his bed with fear until what he deems as his younger sister bravely adventures into his room under such extreme circumstance. Grateful to hold her petrified body to his as they ride out this terrifying experience together.

The latest clap of thunder makes both children jump as the door of Thomas Merlyn’s room opens up wide as heavy footsteps walk to make sure the blinds are drawn. The troublesome weather wasn’t broadcasted so no one had made sure to make the bedrooms’ scary proof for the young residents of this dwelling. As the blinds are fully enclosed the shadowy monsters disappear. As soon as the visual effects were tamed Tommy looks to the man in his room that he calls his father.

Malcolm doesn’t have to see to know that his son isn’t alone and a little girl who he considers a daughter is huddled under the covers with his son. Though with his wife now turning on the bedside lamp he can see the little lump and strands of honey brown hair poking out from under the covers where Felicity hides. Rebekah already sitting by the edge of the bed pushing down slightly to where she can see tear-stricken eyes.

Rebekah’s sweet voice already helping the little ones on the bed feel secure. “It’s okay we are here.”

Malcolm taking his seat by Tommy’s side as the boy looks for his dad for strength. “The storm is moving away soon.” He doesn’t need the question spoken as he answers. “I’m not going anywhere.” It’s enough of a response to invoke his boy to grab his dad and be held as his fears of the monsters are subdued once again. “It was just wild branches from a tree. You’re safe.” Malcolm holds his son until he can feel the boy truly calm down and lay back on the bed.

Rebekah has the girl wrapped in her arms as sweet nothings are spoken. As the storm truly dies down around them the woman looks at her husband as they contempt if Felicity should be placed back in her bed or let her fall asleep here where she sought comfort. With a shake of Malcolm’s head, the response of the little girl remaining here with her brother is answered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a few miles away at the Queen residence. As the storm is brewing the children of the household are held up in their own parent’s room. The large four-post wooden encase that holds an over abundant mattress usually beds the couple of the homestead. Shortly after the first crack over the large estate where the noise echoes over the large open rooms. Oliver is already on the move as he passes one of his younger sister’s rooms. He doesn’t need to open her door as little Emilia is already joining him with her stuffed bear as they head to their parent’s room quickly before the next boom in the sky happens.

They stop at the door; Oliver’s little knuckles swiftly hits the door in hurried successions knowing any moment another frightening thunderclap will scare the duo waiting to be rescued by their parents. As the large framed door opens up and they see their father they automatically run into his awaiting arms.

“Hush now, it’s going to be alright.” Robert says as he watches them both jump on the large bed as they both safely watch their mother trying to calm their baby sister Thea.

The one-year-old quiets down significantly now that she sees her siblings. Moira sports a soft smile as she can already feel the difference in her youngest as the trio are reunited safely in her room. Looking at Robert as he’s already wandered to their bed to join his children as the intense weather beats down against the brick and mortar of the family estate. Tonight, the room will be filled with two generations of Queens as they wait out the storm and find comfort in each other in sweet dreams rather than nightmares of loud bangs and the sporadic light show.

“Momma?” Emilia small voice says before adding, “Can we have pannycakes tomorrow?”

Moira autocorrecting, “Pancakes.” As she then says, “Sure, I see why not. Now go to sleep my darlings.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5 years later…

“She is my sister man. You can’t just go and kiss her.”

“First of all, she kissed me.”

“Yea, but you liked it.” Tommy accused Oliver as he watches his friend be nonchalant about the whole thing. “What if I kissed Mila? Huh? You say you’d be okay with it?”

“No. I wouldn’t. But it’s different.”

“Really? Because she is your sister?”

“No. I know you don’t have those feelings for Emilia and Thea is like six so that be gross.”

“Fine, but all because you like Felicity doesn’t mean shit. She’s just twelve years old, and you know she’s making a big deal about training situation.”

“Their boobs Tommy, say breasts if you need to but its normal girlie stuff.”

Tommy makes a mumbling sound as his friend’s words are annoying him. “I don’t want to know about my sister’s boobs okay?”

Oliver rolls his eyes. He has two sisters and has spent enough time in Felicity’s orbit to know what the opposite sex talks about. Never mind the little remarks Aunt Reba and his mom that he overhears just like his friend who chooses to play dumb.

“Okay Tommy. We’ll both act like Felicity isn’t growing up.”

“Sounds good to me.”

“She still is the one to kiss me and I for one am not upset about it.”

That statement made Tommy blanch as another thought entered his mind.

“Tommy are you okay? You don’t look good.”

Tommy gives Oliver a deep stare as he says, “What… What if the other boys notice? They notice these things, right? I know I do. Oh my gosh my sister is going to be gawked at. What am I going to do?”

Oliver is worried that Tommy is way to freaked out. “Relax.”

“Relax? She’s my sister!” Tommy knows that Felicity is adopted but to him that is still his sister.

“She’s also very smart. Not only that but she has us.” Oliver pats his friends back as the boy begins to calm down. “Okay?” Adding to make Tommy feel better, “She’s my best-friend’s sister and also care about her. You know when we found out about the nut allergy and she was hospitalized I was there so you know how much I care.”

Tommy looks at Oliver with a nod. He knows how everyone important to him was there. Even with him going home with his dad he knows that Oliver stayed there when Felicity was scared to be alone even though his mom was also there. He’ll never will admit it out loud but seeing his best friend be so distraught over Felicity brought a comfort to him. He isn’t blind to the affection that is blossoming between those two. Though there is no way he will flame the fire and make it easy. That is his sister after all.

Oliver still worried asks, “Are we good? Are you okay?”

“Yea, I’m fine. But don’t you dare make it a habit. I’ll punch you in the face if you… you know.”

Oliver just nods there isn’t anything he can say. If he agrees to keep away, he’ll lose the closeness he has with her. He likes her near. If he says that out loud, he can create a distance with his best friend and he doesn’t want that either.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A week later…

“You haven’t been around. I thought we were going to watch…”

“Felicity, I’m sorry. Just busy I guess and there is a load of school work and my dad wants me to apply for the summer junior thing.”

“I just miss you.”

Oliver tries not looking her in the face as he creates a lie that will probably hurt her but after another conversation with Tommy, he relented saying he’d make an effort to keep her at bay. “There is this spring dance coming and well my mom thinks I should really put the effort in being able to dance so I’m really going to busy.”

“Oh.” Felicity has heard Tommy talking about it. He says he has his eye on a certain girl he is going to ask to go with him. Their mother prodded for more information and finding out it is a big deal. Hearing Oliver talk about it she wonders who he will ask to be his date. “Do you have someone in mind?”

“Ah! Sure, you wouldn’t know her.”

Felicity nods but like always she prods deeper, “Classmate, right? I bet she’s really something if you like her. Hope she can dance to.”

“I like her enough and she’s really pretty.”

“I guess this means you’ll be too busy for us.”

“Hey, I’ll always be around you are my best friend’s kid sister.”

She gives him a forced smile as she can feel the brush off. She’ll have to get use to this she thinks. He is sixteen now. Doesn’t mean she likes it. She isn’t too close to his sister Mila who kind of resents her close friendship with her brother and Thea is sweet but between her nanny and older sister Felicity doesn’t think she’ll spend as much time in the Queen home anymore.

“I guess I’ll see you around.” She turns around to walk away when she decides that if this is it. That he doesn’t like to spend time with her anymore she has to say her peace because she already knows in her heart what losing people does. It creates a void.

A car accident around her seventh birthday took her parents. She knows pain but she’s lucked out that with one tragedy it led to her finding another family who also rocked their own sad tragedy. She was a key for them to heal as their own love for her has mended some invisible walls of pain. “No. I don’t buy this Oliver!”

“What?” He says surprised.

“You were fine a week ago.” She looks at him trying to read the boy she cares more about than she willing wants to admit but she knows she cares for him. To her he is more than just a friend of Tommy’s he is her confident and they share their own little world. It is a world that holds possibilities but it simmers on some low fervor as being near one another gives the other an extension to feel something that has no words because their experiences in life are limited but they know. She isn’t willing to let it go. Not without a solid reason. “This… this is happening because I kissed you.” Realizing this she just shakes her head. “It was merely a one second kiss.”

“Felicity.”

“It was. Wasn’t it?”

“I’m really just busy…”

“Please… I’m not an outsider who doesn’t know you. I’m sorry if I freaked you out. I promise to never kiss you again. Just don’t ruin our friendship.”

Oliver sighs as he looks to the sky for answers. When he his face comes back down and he looks at the girl before him waiting for an answer and he finally spills the truth, “It’s not our friendship I’m worried about. Tommy is my best friend since forever and… and I feel like this…” He points between them. “Is something that is dangerous and…”

Her head tilts listening to him as she takes his answer and thinks its full of baloney and she calls him on it. “Dangerous? I’m freaking twelve years old Oliver. I have no idea what is in store for my future but I know here and now as I missed a week of listening to you being you. We’ve known each other for five years. Five years Oliver. You seriously want to throw it all away?”

“I’m not going anywhere. I just need to distance myself. Find myself I guess.”

“Without me? You mean. Because you aren’t pulling away from anyone else. Right?”

“I’m sixteen. I also don’t see you as my sister, so that kiss if just a second opened a floodgate with your brother. His reasons make sense and I’m older so I should know better. I’m doing this for what is best for the both of us.”

“I don’t understand. But then like you said I’m just a kid so what would I know.” She shakes her head as she says one more thing before leaving him to create this mess. “Somethings aren’t fixable.”

“Felicity? Felicity…” She is out of his sight and he wonders if he just made the biggest mistake that with time will be unfixable as they go their own ways but yet be close enough to see opportunities lost. They already don’t share the same circles. They are in each other’s orbit but he realizes she is too young even if they are only four years apart. She plays with dolls still and well he needs to remind himself of that as he wants to be more of an adult. He is doing what is best for the both of them. It’ll get easier…

Like an AMA but you have no idea it’s happening…

Okay so rules are: answer these, and send some back. Simple. No restrictions on questions. Go forth and add lore to our mostly empty fandom!!

-What is Mila like? I’d really like to play with her more if it wouldn’t just be me talking to myself while RPing. Guess I’ll add that to the ever-growing list of things I should write… but Mila is a sweetheart. She’s a generally bubbly, optimistic person, contrasts nicely with Mason. -Does Levi even like Mila? He was probably a little suspicious of her at first but they really got along well once they had a chance. She’s everything Lottie’s not. -What becomes of Alex? Thomas is raising him to eventually take his place and Alex tries to live up to that expectation. He’s not as ruthless/cruel as Thomas but still probably has some questionable ethics and makes bad decisions. -Does anybody know WHY Levi is afraid of cows? Nope….not at all…freak petting zoo accident, stampede in a gorge…who knows…probably something happened at some point when Lottie wasn’t watching him. -Does Pru know who her biological parents are? She does not, has been curious from time to time but never went looking for them. But she does have a biological brother who I’ve had ideas of playing with. -Tell us more about babygirl I reeeeaaaaallly need to work on her, right now she is just a little brain egg…will get back to you. What I have so far is that she’s a redhead, was a surprise baby and there’s an age gap between her and the boys -Okay but why was Mason in Scotland Eh, different reasons in different AUs, usually found his way there through work somehow or another. -Is it just Levi, Rosie, and Leslie or are there more Smith siblings? Well, technically Rosie and Leslie are in no way related. Lottie is Leslie and Levi’s mom, Mason is Levi and Rosie’s dad. Leslie and Levi’s last name is Smith (took their mother’s name) but Rosie’s is Edwards. But no, no other siblings. -Do you think Danny and Mia live happily ever after? I doubt it… I mean Danny’s an absolute asshole. Might live ever after but probably not happily. -What does Mila think of Levi/Lilli? Mila loves them! Thinks they’re adorable, wants them both to be happy. -What is Dahlia’s relationship with Alex? Complicated, Dahlia loves Alex cause that’s her little bro but Alex also looks up to Thomas so… another one of those things that I’d probably play with more if it wouldn’t just be me talking to myself. -Describe Dahlia’s room Of course depends on the AU, but for just a basic modern one: her room is a bit of a mess until she goes through and straightens it up every couple weeks, bed in the corner by the window, a desk by her book shelf that probably has more junk (knick-knacks, toys, photos, stuffed animals, whatever other stuff she has pack-ratted away) than books, clothes either in her closet or in a little hill on the floor -What’s [dahlia/levi/danny/etc] theme song? I really need to rebuild my playlists for these guys…my computer ate them and I have yet to make new ones…I promise I will send them to you once I do! -Adam/Sadie or Lewis/ Blake? I like Lewis/Blake but honestly that’s probably cause we haven’t played with them much. Neither of those pairings are really good relationships but we play a lot with Adam/Sadie and it kills me when she breaks Adam’s heart over and over again. -One headcanon you love yet never seem to be able to work in AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL of the backstory details, what everybody was like as kids, relationships with parents/other family members, issues they had growing up, all of the little details that I’ve thought a lot about but never really have a chance to come up -Who the hell is Simon? Simon is a character who’s kinda just sat in the back of my head for forever now. But he’s a really messed up schizophrenic baby -Does…does Koda still think Levi is gay? I don’t think so -One song to describe your OTP See previous song question (realize this cheating out of the question, sorry!). While I don’t have one right off for VinceDahlia, I Had Me a Girl by The Civil Wars always makes me think of AdamDahlia (does that count for at least ½ a point?) -Okay but what happened to Kate? I really kinda just stopped throwing her into AUs, she’s still around but would only really be with Lewis in AUs where he’d need to have to have a cover/is still in the closet/etc. Biggest reason with this too is cause while there can be a lot of drama and feels, it’d be a lot of me talking to myself.

-Describe Lilli/Vince/Adam’s room (pick one or all 3!)

-What went wrong between Max (Sr.) and Sophia and when did Briggs come into the picture?

-We know how messed up Adam and Charles’s relationship is, but about him and his mom (Emily?)?

-More info about Bennet’s family/sisters and brother?

-What ever happened to Spencer? I think the most we’ve talked about him is just him getting casually mentioned in WarrenShilo-centric AUs

-Other than our main 4, who’s your favorite pairing to play with and why?

-Favorite AU(s)?

-Other than CookieLilli and AdamDahlia, are there any other characters you’d want to put together in a Fucking Shit Up AU?

-Where did Phantom come from/When did he and Vince become best buds? Puppy Phantom story time?!

-Prompt/AU/idea you like that we’ve never played with?
