The Archers Daughter

Retold from Mia's perspective.

Hey, amazing readers! Welcome to The Archer's Daughter, a heartfelt dive into the world of Mia Smoak and her daughter, Ellie, as they navigate legacy, love, and the chaos of Star City's streets. This story picks up where The last version left us, exploring Mia's journey as a hero, a mother, and a woman carving her own path in the shadow of the Green Arrow.

First off, a huge shoutout to my incredible co-writer, @OutCastedInk who's brought Ellie to life with so much depth and spark in this Retelling version of The Archers Daughter.

Ellie is Mia's firecracker of a daughter-brave, stubborn, and a little too clever for her own good. Together, we've crafted her as a perfect blend of Smoak grit and Queen heart, with a dash of her own unique chaos. Collaborating with @Outcastedink has been a blast; their knack for Ellie's voice adds such a vibrant layer to this story, and I'm so grateful for their creativity and passion.

This fic is a love letter to the Arrow fandom, especially those who adored Mia's fierce spirit in the flash-forwards. Expect action, family feels, and some unexpected twists as Mia balances raising Ellie with protecting a city that never seems to catch a break. We're staying true to the show's tone-gritty but hopeful-while sprinkling in our own flair. Some canon events will be referenced, but we're taking liberties to explore new stories, so don't expect a strict adherence to the Arrowverse timeline.

A quick heads-up: this story will touch on themes of grief, identity, and the weight of legacy, with some mild violence typical of Star City's vigilante life. We'll include content warnings where needed. Updates will come as regularly as our schedules allow, but we're aiming for biweekly chapters. We'd love to hear your thoughts-comments, kudos, and theories are always welcome!

Thank you for joining us on this ride. Let's see where Mia and Ellie take us.
