Barry/Oliver is a popular slash pairing of Barry Allen (Flash) and Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) in the CW's Arrowverse.
Canon
Arrowverse
Barry and Oliver meet in Starling City, when Barry is investigating an unusual robbery. Oliver is initially jealous of Barry's friendship with Felicity and he remains sceptical even after Barry saves his life. The two part on good terms with Oliver trusting Barry to keep his secret identity a secret.
When he becomes The Flash, Barry seeks out the Starling City vigilante for his advice. Oliver believes Barry can be a noble hero, and encourages him to find his own way of protecting his city. The two continue to work together when necessary and remain friends.

Common Tropes and Storylines
- Pre-canon works are sometimes Pre-island AUs, where Barry meets billionaire playboy Oliver. Other works set pre-Flash canon show Barry meeting Oliver when he is a vigilante.
- Alternative Universes - Soulmate AUs
- Canon divergent AUs are common and often involve one character moving, either Barry moves to Starling City or Oliver moves to Central City.
- No Island AU
- Threesomes & Moresomes - Some works pair both men with Supergirl's Kara Danvers. The pairing of Barry Allen/Kara Danvers/Oliver Queen has become more popular since the crossover events. Works pairing Barry Allen/Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak also appear.
