A/N: This might be one of my biggest projects to date. This turned out to be my version of Season 3 of Arrow, which obviously does not follow canon in most regards (though some parts have been kept). The theme of the season is 'Rebuilding', with the possibility to write a season 4 that would focus on the theme 'Identity'. 

This was just a fun idea (and a whole new way of writing for me), so try not to take it too seriously. These are mainly wishes and ideas drawn from my own mind (and sometimes inspired from the general echo on tumblr). There's certainly no ambition beyond having a good time. The original can be found on fanfiction.net, where I have the same alias.

There will be new characters introduced, plot twists to die for (pun intended), old foes returning, new villains and a lot of emotion to stir the pot.

Now, bear with me! This story will have 23 'Episodes', just like an ordinary season and include storylines about everyone (more or less – a real season would do this a lot better than little ole' me ever could alone).

Readers beware! I am an Olicity shipper, but I don't think you can get away with season 3 without some Laurel/Oliver. I want to do them all justice, so please don't be pissed if a ship doesn't suit your taste in a certain 'Episode'. There will be a lot of push/pull between everyone since it's supposed to resemble an entire season so hang in there until the end.

Also, just as the show has done thus far: I will take some liberties with 'comic canon'. But I will do some research and pull some stuff from canon – with my own perspective and twist to characters and plots.

Disclaimer: Obviously I own nothing of this! Everything belongs to the rightful owners at CW, DC and others.

Synopsis for Episode 1: Six months has passed since Oliver Queen defeated Slade Wilson. Oliver still work tirelessly as the Arrow, alongside trustworthy team members John Diggle, Felicity Smoak and Roy Harper, to put an end to crime in Starling City. Another main goal for Oliver is to win back his family's company, but a sharp turn of events introduces a couple of players that might set him back. As far as new players go, there are a few more of those about to make an explosive entrance in Starling City…

I hope you'll enjoy reading this!

Season 3: Rebuilding

3x01: Break of Day

Oliver hunched down on his tree branch and shifted to make his position somewhat comfortable, but without relaxing any of his muscles. He sat like a tense predator in the dead of night, tightly gripping his bow in one hand, listening to the howling wind and the distant noises of the late evening around him. Though he felt nothing out of the ordinary about any of it, he knew appearances could be deceiving. There was a good reason, after all, why he was perched unseen in the thick greens of a tree in the middle of a park near Star Bridge.

"Any sign of our mystery guy?" he heard a familiar voice over the Bluetooth headset and focused his mind to stay alert on the mission.

Felicity was out of breath and Oliver's fingers clenched reflexively around the compound bow. The blonde had volunteered as bait for this particular mission, and he'd agreed to it after a slightly heated debate on the topic.

The whole thing had started a few weeks ago, when a furtive killer had started terrorizing Starling City. The unknown killer had started by frightening random, female joggers out for a late run, but it had quickly escalated to twisted and sadistic murder. Over the past week, he'd killed three young, innocent women in the cover of darkness in different parks across town that suited his taste.
