1x05 AU. Sneak peek: Your smile gave me so much strength. You've always been my strength, my reason to survive."

What would Arrow look like if Oliver and Laurel had married before Oliver went on The Queen's Gambit? What would Laurel and Oliver's reunion look like if they were married before the pilot? What would Starling City's power couple be like if they were reunited after five years? Short Lauriver story.

"You're not alone on an island anymore, Ollie." Laurel whispers, leaning her forehead against his. Oliver's arms circle her waist and pull her close to him, her head over his thumping heart. In this moment, with Laurel wrapped in his arms, he knows he'll never be alone again, not when he's around her because she's always made him feel loved and wanted, always has, always will.

Sneak peek: I also hope you know that despite everything I've done to you, everything I've put you through, I still love you, I'll always love you. You're the only girl I will ever love even if you don't love me anymore, and know that I'm fighting my way back to you, no matter how long it takes, I will come home to you. I'll always come home to you.

Oliver has a nightmare during a thunderstorm and goes to the one person he can tell anything to

Sneak peek: For her. For Laurel. For the love of his life. The woman who would be his light in the dark, the woman who would he go that through hell five times over if it means keeping her safe, the woman he would sacrifice everything for if she asked him, the woman he would spend the rest of his life protecting and fighting for.

Oliver is feeling ashamed of his scars and Laurel tries to change his mind about the scars that have made him into a survivor.

Sneak peek: 'She says, he holds out a hand and she slips her palm into it, wrapping her fingers around his. "I love you." He whispers, Laurel smiles before bending down and kissing him."I love you too." She replies, putting their tangled hands on their daughters back "Thank you for never letting me doubt your trust in me." He whispers, Laurel chuckles. "I'll never let you doubt me, Ollie."

What if Oliver hadn't cheated on Laurel? What if their reunion in the Pilot was very different? What if Laurel was still waiting for Oliver when he was found? What if Laurel was the second person Oliver was reunited with? Slight Lauriver AU.
