- Recommended by fruitstripegum
- Status: Complete
- Summary: When Oliver's timer finally zeroes out, it stops at a mysterious pizza boy with dark hair and sad eyes. But as Oliver spends more time about Barry Allen, he soon discovers that there is more to the boy than one would initially think. Meanwhile, men are being kidnapped from the streets and forced to fight in horrific gladiatorial fights.
- Comments: An Alternate Universe fic that crosses over with The Flash (2014).
Legacy Series by ash818
- Recommended by Master Fuzzy
- Status: Complete
- Summary: The year is 2039. Oliver and Felicity are Happily Married and have two children, Jonathan and Abigail. Unfortunately, Jon takes after his father a little too closely, and when the story opens, Oliver has just arrived at central lockup to bail his reckless teenager out of jail. Then their real problems begin. Essentially, a Next Gen fic for Arrow.
- Comments: A very well-written story, easy to follow even if you're not a big fan of the series, with interesting and likable OCs and appearances from Roy, Thea, and the Lances. Also has its own trope page. It deconstructs the Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World and Secret Identity tropes, but without being too grim and depressing.

''Technical Assistance by thatmasquedgirl * Recommended by Skye Lis

- Synopsis:Felicity Smoak swore she'd provide technical assistance to all who need it. She's just not prepared for her newest client.
A story that shows another way Felicity and Oliver could have met. Each chapter contains a bonus scene at the end. Olicity undertones, with a definite slow burn. Originally started as a one-shot of the same name. Complete.
