#they used to date#it's canon#i've decided it's canon#i recognize the hypocrisy in that statement because i openly despise when people mistake fanon and canon#but it's okay to do with arrow because they erased their canon and made the entire show a moot point in the final season#so everything is canon now#.....except....98% of arrow fandom is terrible so...#okay new plan: everything i say is canon is correct and everyone else is wrong#there i found the sweet spot#laurel and joanna dated it is a fact now#laurel x joanna#otp: you and i against an army#arrow#dctv but the cursed one
Fic: As We Were (Arrow)
HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY, @missourielephant
welcome to the universe where oliver broods alone in the dark a lot and says ''alexa play white flag by dido'' like seven times a night. meanwhile laurel's just vibing with her family. i like it here. it's soft. thank you for requesting this fic, it was a lot of fun to write. :)))

Title: As We Were Fandom(s): Arrow Pairing: Laurel Lance/Joanna de la Vega, past Laurel Lance/Oliver Queen Summary: ''We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we no longer are. As we will one day not be at all.''. In the aftermath of his return, Oliver struggles to come to terms with his new place, or lack thereof, in Laurel's life, how much his baby sister has changed, and the city's resident vigilante - who does not seem to be a fan of the Hood's particularly bloody methods.

Valentine’s Day AU Part 2
Laurel/Joanna de la Vega: Laurel’s the DA and Joanna is big time corporate lawyer, raking in the big bucks. Thea agrees to watch their daughter Sin while Laurel and Joanna go out to Star City’s top restaurant (Thea helped get them the reservation, the Queen name still opens doors), they even get a private corner of the restaurant. Then Malcolm Merlyn and his remaining goons show up, turns out he blames Laurel for Tommy’s death and for Thea hating him (neither of which could be his fault, noooo). Joanna deals with his goons (she’s dating the Black Canary, of course she can fight) while Laurel attacks him and finally gets the better of him (she’s the Black damn Canary and he’s nowhere near as good as he thinks he is), and then does what Oliver kept refusing to do and just chops his head off. The press has a field day, the DA killing the city’s worse mass murderer makes her even more popular, and the restaurant gets some good publicity as the place where he died. Joanna thinks Laurel killing the man who murdered the people they tried to help and destroyed their old place of business is the best Valentine’s Day present ever. Laurel thinks the best gift is Joanna’s method of showing her…appreciation. Nyssa and Sara meanwhile are annoyed, each of them wanted to give the other Malcolm’s head. Thea doesn’t mind, she knows who her REAL father is, Malcolm is nothing to her.
Laurel/Dean: Their Valentine’s Day…isn’t. They couldn’t get anyone to watch Sin, Timmy, and Grace (Thea has plans with Roy, Sam with Eileen, Sara with Nyssa, Charlie with Jo [Harvelle, not Joanna] and that’s all the people Dean trusts with his kids). With no babysitter, it’s just another day. Dean spends the day doing laundry, cleaning the house, finally fixing the water pressure in the shower, and of course watching their young daughter. When Sin and Timmy come home hipped up on sugar from all the candy they ate at school during Valentine’s Day parties, he settles them down and makes sure they still do their homework.
Laurel works late, first in the courts to put someone away, and then in the office making sure the evidence is rock solid, and that everything for next case is ready. She gets home exhausted and he has pizza waiting and makes sure the kids hug her. She quickly eats, kisses them goodnight then goes out as Black Canary, and naturally Cupid shows up to make this day longer and more difficult. She gets home late, and he’s waiting for her. They gently make love, and as she lies with him after, she tells him how much she loves him, how happy she is that this is her life. He visibly struggles before simply saying “Ditto.” She just chuckles, and they go to sleep content.
That’s how you show your love to your soulmate when you’re already married and have kids. It’s cleaning up the house, taking care of the kids, and making sure there’s food on the table when your wife gets home late. It’s working late to ensure you have a house and food. It’s making the world safer for your children, in the courts and then risking your life on the streets. It’s staying up for your wife until she gets home. It’s knowing that your husband loves you, and not needing him to say it. It’s all these things, and that’s enough.
Sin, Timmy, and Grace are Dean and Laurel’s children in Becks_Rylynn’s where you are wanted verse.

Laurel Lance in every episode: ↳ Arrow 1.10 “Burned”
“I’m am not exactly the best example for healthy grieving.”
Anonymous asked:
Someone pointed out having Joanna de La Vega taking the Black Canary mantle after Laurel died, because they were close friends, and worked together in CNRI,so it's fair to say she cared about helping people(at least before she was sidelined). Kinda cool,IMO. Of course, in case Laurel died heroically after living a great life,not fridging after sidelining.
i don’t know. i guess i like that better than whatever the hell it is that arrow did and i always love joanna de la vega. …but honestly i’d just rather laurel not be dead.
counter idea: joanna finds out laurel is the black canary (which is not a surprise because she suspected) and temporarily joins team arrow as a legal consultant. she quickly realizes that it’s a crappy team with a crappy leader and that laurel is absolutely not safe in a toxic environment where no one has her back, oliver keeps putting her down, and there’s always a ridiculous mess of infighting.
so she decides to fix that by proposing that they partner up once again, just like cnri, and start their own team to protect the city. eventually that team expands, becomes a group of amazing warrior women, and they call themselves the birds of prey.
yeah, i like that one better. ;)))
