I ship it is an Olivarry story based on Stephen's tweets about them in honor of his birthday.

Oliver and Felicity had decided to get divorced after Elseworlds, when they both had realized that they'd changed too much and were no longer the same people they fell in love with.
  But there was another thing too, the archer had realized that he had developed feelings for Barry, since the speedster kept popping up in his thoughts more often since he almost lost him and he wanted to go to Central City and see him again, but at the same time he didn't want to tell him how much he loves him or anything about the deal he made for his and Kara's lives.

I need an excuse to text him. Oliver thought as he stared at the speedster's name on his phone. There was a heart right next to it which he had added after their latest crazy adventure, when he had figured out that there was no world for him without Barry Allen in it.

After a few seconds of inner struggle, he decided to ask Kara for help. After their latest shared experience where he secretly traded his life for her too, he trusted her more and she probably wouldn't judge him or make too much fun of him.

Hi. I think I need your help with something. The thing is me and Felicity are getting divorced for a couple of reasons. Mainly one thing I've never told anyone. Because I only admitted the truth to myself recently. He typed and felt a slight flush spread across his cheeks.

Wow. What truth? What do you need my help with? Kara felt confused by Oliver's sudden message because he didn't usually text her. Actually she wasn't sure they'd even exchanged numbers.

I have feelings for Barry. Oliver typed to anyone for the first time ever. The only other person who knew was Felicity. A nervous chuckle escaped his throat because now he had threw it out there, but he started to wonder why he was doing this when Barry was happily married?

Finally! Was that the big, embarrassing truth and you only figured it out now after you guys swapped lives? Wow, you two really were the last people to know. But what do you need me to do? I've found this dog that I need to take care of. I can't find her owner. Kara wrote back while the fluffy, white dog was impatiently whipping its tail.

Wait. Why don't you and Barry come over to my Earth and watch her while I try to find her home? she sent another text right after the first one. In truth it was just a sneaky set up after Oliver's revelation.

Okay. But he's married... the archer typed. It was insane that he was excited to go on a secret date with his married friend.

Don't worry. Leave Iris to me. She's probably also been wondering what has taken you guys so long. We all ship it, you know? Kara replied with a giggle as she typed.

Oliver stared at the last message on the screen with confusion at first before he chuckled nervously again. Alright. We'll take care of the dog. he answered and finally texted the man he'd been wanting to talk to all morning.

An hour later, they arrived at Kara's earth after Barry had picked Oliver up to take him there. As soon as they met the dog, Barry immediately took quick liking to the puppy and Oliver loved seeing his crush being so excited and getting away from his own troubles. He turned out to be an expert dog walker.

But he couldn't find a way to tell him everything he wanted to say. They talked about their cities and new villains before they stopped at a coffee shop in National City to order mochas. Oliver thought he was subtle as he was ordering the same thing as his crush.

After picking up their walk again, they got back to Kara's apartment because she called them about finding the dog's owner.

Then the cheery heroes suggested karaoke to end the evening while enjoying the take out Kara had brought with her, but Oliver wasn't fond of the singing idea at all, maybe because he assumed Barry was a better singer than him. So the dorky heroes gave in and decided to watch a movie instead.
