those special moments

It’s always interesting when I’m sort of tangentially in a fandom, but haven’t paid attention to the canon in forever, and then fanfic is all “Surprise!”

(My former example of this was Blaise Zabini in the Harry Potter fandom. I stopped reading after book… uh, the one with the tournament? Four? So Blaise kind of came out of nowhere for me, and there was a period of time in fic where he was written as a boy, a girl, genderless, could switch back and forth — it was awesome.)

And in an fantastic new development, I can now add Sara Lance (from Arrow) to that list. (Apparently she’s alive? What?) And currently I’ve read about an equal number of fics where she’s a slightly-crazy globe-trotting vigilante versus a kickass pal who hangs around giving relationship advice. (Which is to say, one each. But still!)

(The kickass pal AU where Sara sets her friends up on blind dates: Pink Drinks and Pick-Up Lines, by Frea_O.)
