This Place is Not My Home (fem!Oliver and Slade)
It was not something she would ever admit, to anyone, but Olivia had never truly felt like she'd come home.
She'd buried her home on Lian Yu. In its soil and in its water.
Returning to Starling City had felt no different than returning to Hong Kong had after the fishermen had rescued her from Lian Yu. She acted like it was. Acted like she was thrilled and relieved to be back in Starling, back with her family, but deep down, beyond the mask she presented to world, beyond the scars that served to forever remind her of her time in purgatory, she felt wrong. Out of place. Like she was a stranger in the world that had once been her playground.
