Darkest Before the Dawn

      It's always darkest before the dawn.  I discovered that this morning when I awoke right before dawn, and it was so incredibly dark.  Then light came shimmering the darkness away.  This, my friends, will be the dark arc for Felicity.  She will delve deeper  in the darkness, much as Oliver did in the first two seasons.  She will come to understand what Oliver is all about.  She will understand Oliver in a deeper way, because she will understand the psyche that made him the Green Arrow.  Then  she will understand the secrets.

Oliver will be drawn closer to Felicity through all of this.  Don't let Fighting with Fire throw you off the main goal.  Oliver will help Felicity in the end.  Look beyond what you see. It is there.  Oliver worries about both his sister and Felicity going towards that darkness, because he knows what it does to the soul, and he wants to spare them that.

For Oliver and Felicity to be a team in the deepest sense of the word, they need more than sex in their relationship.  A couple that is truly close understands one another in the deepest sense of the way.  Oliver closed that off  to Felicity, but through her darkness, she will understand him more, and love him in a deeper way, and he will love her more as well  They will finally be ready for each other.

Look for the dawn, my friends, it  is coming!
