Title: Fire In The Blood
Author: misachan
Fandom: Arrow
Pairing: Oliver/Slade/Shado
Word Count: 7780
Rating: PG

Summary: When Slade wakes up with the shakes one morning Ollie really wants to believe him when he claims it's nothing. Which would be easier if the fever didn't keep getting worse.

A/N: Thank you to aerilex for beta reading! There is a blink and you'll miss it reference to Slade's comics backstory; written for the "serious illness" square for my hc_bingo card.

( Shado noticed first. )

Before we get down to business, for anyone who missed it I posted two fics this past week: Dance With Your Ghost (Dean/2014!Cas) and Terms Of Service (Dean/Cas AU based on the fairy tale "The Elves And The Shoemaker." And written for dc_dystopia so y'know, cavet lector and all that.:) I've been rolling around in the comments for both of those like a happy puppy for the past few days, so thank all of you super much. You're awesome. ♥

Now back to the meme I will apparently never finish!

Day 08 - A show everyone should watch

Okay, the right answer to this is Homicide: Life on the Streets (best cop show ever!*) or Babylon 5 (loooooooooooove!) or maybe MST3K so you will understand why I'm singing about Puma Man and how he flies like a moron. Those are the right answers!

But I'm so in love with Arrow right now I don't care.:) I swear to all of you, this show has gotten really, really good. Fast-paced plotting and good action sequences and a really well developed villain. If he even is a villain, because I'm not even sure any more! And an actually compelling conspiracy plot, which is worth its weight in diamonds. I don't know if the writers can keep this pace up over multiple seasons, but this is a great ride. And that goes double if you have any appreciation for the DC universe, because love for the DCU is built into this show's bones.

No one is more surprised by this than me! I went in expecting a cheesy substitution for Smallville, which for its first three seasons was the show of my heart, but Arrow's already so much better than Smallville ever was. I want this show to have a ridiculously big fandom that writes all the fic.

ARROW!

(*Yes, yes, The Wire, but that's not a pure procedural the way Homicide is. And also I haven't see The Wire.)
