Fanfiction

  • It's Always You and I by Meero94 (2014-2015). "Sometimes there's a coffee shop and a geek with glasses, and the boy smirks and saunters over to him. Sometimes they're stuck in an elevator together. Other times they're an IT guy and a law student. It differs, always, but the constant remains them . Because, regardless of the universe, Oliver always has a tendency of stumbling into Connor's world and flipping it upside down."
