If He'd Never Left (Arrow/Olicity)

Oliver Queen hated the darkness inside him. It was constantly there, no matter what he did, taunting him about his past on Lian Yu. The thought of what happened there made Oliver view himself as a monster. He pushed away everyone who ever loved him, including Felicity Smoak, for fear of hurting them.

So when Oliver is offered a second chance to change his life around and have a proper chance to be with Felicity, is it any wonder he takes it?

But what Oliver doesn't realise are the consequences of his actions. With everyone around him completely oblivious to everything that happens to them, Oliver knows he must fight for the city's fate through a thick web of lies...alone. He finds out who he was before Lian Yu wasn't as innocent as he thought and that you should really be careful what you wish for.
