Summary
This takes place over the course of the five months after the events at the end of the season 4 of Arrow.
It is about Felicity and how she struggles to come to terms with her grief and guilt for redirecting a nuclear bomb that destroyed Havenbrook. She hides how she is feeling and how she is coping from everyone, including Oliver, but eventually she cracks.
This fic is about that moment when she cracks and how Oliver is the only one who figures out how to help. It is also about the strength of their connection, their love and the boundless capacity for forgiveness and understanding that lays within them for each other.
