If I Wanted You Dead...
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_14d633ed
comment
If I Wanted You Dead...: Discussed when Laurel makes contact with Helena, pointing out to Helena that trying to dismantle her father's criminal operations proves that she truly wants justice, because if all she wanted was her father dead Helena could easily just shoot him at home.

Full-Frontal Assault
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_18ce8f1d
comment
Full-Frontal Assault: Helena inadvertently does this when she's attacked by an assassin in her apartment, as the attacker rips open her nightshirt before Black Canary intervenes. Helena is uncomfortable as only her fiance ever saw that much of her before, but Laurel assures her that "this creep doesn't count".

Underestimating Badassery: Sara realizes that Laurel is the woman who came to the League and follows her and Nyssa back to Starling City, but underestimates what her sister is physically capable of (albeit for the understandable reason that she has no way of knowing what training Laurel has received since they last saw each other).

Conditioned to Accept Horror: A variation. Laurel is in deep denial over the fact that Quentin is abusive, and shrugs off his harsh comments about the Black Canary as "he couldn't know he was cursing his own daughter's name, and even if he had said worse to her face before".

Adaptation Deviation
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: invokedIn the prologue alone, it's revealed that the Paragons are different: Clark Kent is the Paragon of Hope, Diana of Themyscira is the Paragon of Truth, and Oliver Queen is the Paragon of Courage. In addition, Sara Lance is still a Paragon, but she is the Paragon of Resilience, not Destiny. In the comments, Word of God implies that Novu withheld the seventh Paragon from Laurel, to hide that she is that Paragon.

Rogues' Gallery Transplant
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_2f8c5157
comment
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: In a loose sense; Oliver's first target as the Hood is Thomas Elliot, although there is no indication that Elliot is active as a villain at this point yet (in that he isn't going out in a costume to fight Batman, as he's obviously a corporate villain whom Oliver is justified in targeting).

Special Person, Normal Name: Laurel runs into this problem when hunting for the Paragons she hasn't found yet, as "Clark Kent" and "John Jones" are far too common for her to be sure where to find the ones she's looking for (obviously finding Diana of Themyscira has its own set of problems).

Hero with Bad Publicity
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_313e9485
comment
Hero with Bad Publicity: The Hood appears content to be this; even Batman was initially unaware of what happened to the money the Hood took from Thomas Elliot, but once Black Canary explains that it was donated to the victims of the Nodell Tower Fire the Dark Knight acknowledges that people wouldn't want to admit they received compensation under such circumstances. After the mob war, Moira encourages Tempest's media contacts to make all the vigilantes this, feeling that the group should work to render the vigilantes ineffective and encourage their own views of social reform.

Took a Level in Kindness: Particularly applies to Thea; where it took her community service after her use of Vertigo to make her more aware of other peoples' problems in canon, here Thea shows more social awareness after being rescued by the Black Canary during one of her early nights out. By the Christmas after Oliver's return, Thea is asking to volunteer at Oliver's soup kitchen and regrets how her role in the Restons' arrest prevented other former employees receiving due compensation.

Saying Too Much
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_4733b5a5
comment
Saying Too Much: When Laurel confronts Ra's al Ghul, she says enough to at least get Ra's thinking that she has some knowledge of the Anti-Monitor and the original purpose of the League. Later, when Oliver returns and tries to tell Laurel he still loves her, he notes that even though she rejected him, she never said that she wasn't in love with him (while unaware that she's operating on the assumption that he's "destined" to be with Felicity). When Laurel runs into Barry at Iron Heights, she calls him by name before remembering that she shouldn't know him yet; she has to improvise an explanation that she noticed his father's case while researching her current case for Peter Declan.

Do Well, But Not Perfect: Basically Laurel's philosophy when she adopts a vigilante outfit when she starts going out with Ted and Isaac, deliberately adopting a more basic costume than her familiar attire- such as a ski mask to hide her face- so that she doesn't look like an experienced fighter.

It's All My Fault
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_5ad80bf8
comment
It's All My Fault: Thea blames herself once Moira announces her refusal to follow up on the issues raised by the Restons' lawsuit, as the younger Queen recognizes that there are many people in the Restons' position who didn't turn to crime and feels it's unfair that they should all suffer because of the Restons' actions. Likewise, Laurel blames herself both for how Thea's life has been in danger in unfamiliar circumstances and how some consequence of her changes led to Oliver recruiting Naomi rather than Felicity as his tech expert. Sara has to explicitly tell Laurel that people are going to make their own decisions in response to Laurel's actions and she can't keep trying to force a particular version of events on to them. Laurel also blames herself for how badly her relationship with Oliver turned out in the previous timeline, unable to admit that it was partially (and probably mostly) his fault too.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_60547993
comment
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Laurel is still in love with Oliver and considers him the love of her life, but thinks that Felicity is his One True Love and intends to make sure they can finally have their happy ending. This is only reinforced by the images of the Bad Future she sees, where they got back together, just like she thought they would. Seeing as this is an Oliver/Laurel fic, she is clearly not going to get what she wants.

Heel–Face Turn
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_617f0563

Heel–Face Turn: Laurel essentially does this for Garfield Lynns, as she finds him before he can plan his revenge, convinces him that suing those responsible for the fire that disfigured him is a better revenge, and gives Daniel de la Vega the chance to explain that Gar's team didn't abandon him but the building collapsed while they were trying to get him out.

Ship Sinking
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_67fe4b8e
comment
Ship Sinking: Laurel admits she loves Tommy, but not romantically, as much as she had tried to convince both him and herself of that during their relationship, and intends not to have a relationship with him and to let him down gently after she goes back in time. The ship sunk even further after Laurel turns in Malcolm to the League to be executed for his plans for the Undertaking, after which she begins actively distancing herself from him, acknowledging that their relationship can never be the same after what she did. Whatever chances of Olicity happening go down drastically after Oliver (as the Hood/Green Arrow), busts Felicity for corporate espionage when she tries to frame Naomi for her crimes and gets the latter fired from her job at QC. When Felicity is recruited by her father not long after her termination, her thoughts make it clear that she now holds a grudge against the Hood, ensuring a lack of interest from both ends.

Big Brother Instinct: Laurel has this in spades for both Sara and Thea. One of her biggest desires is to get Sara out of the League early, and one of the first things she does after being sent back is try to reconnect with Thea and convince her to go clean. She accomplishes both. Oliver nearly beats Kyle to death for trying to shoot Thea.

Stealth Hi/Bye: Unsurprisingly, Batman.

That he did in their own base just makes it more blatant. He vanishes just as quickly and quietly.

Adaptational Early Appearance: As a result of Thea's close call, Moira Queen hires John Diggle as Thea's bodyguard rather than Oliver's. Sara appears in Chapter 6, well over a year before she originally appeared in the present storyline in canon. Iris West has a brief cameo in Chapter 8, but since Laurel never met her in the original timeline, nothing comes of it. Laurel encounters Samantha and William Clayton in Chapter 8 as well. By Chapter 10, Rene Ramierez has joined Ted and Laurel in the Wildcat Gym. Barry Allen appears in Chapter 10.

Awesomeness by Analysis
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_73733868
comment
Awesomeness by Analysis: Laurel is able to deduce that Batman is Bruce Wayne, noting that only a billionaire could afford his toys, and Batman and Bruce Wayne being in Starling City the same night is unlikely to be a coincidence. Further, she and Sara both noted that Bruce had been casing the room earlier, already giving them cause to suspect something. This, in turn, allows Batman to deduce her identity, as his being at C.N.R.I.'s fundraiser wouldn't have made the tabloids yet, so the Black Canary must have been there as well; and Laurel Lance is the right height, build, has the same shade of green eyes, and he muses that "while they had danced that she moved with a fighter’s grace".

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In order to convince Thea to go clean, Laurel shows her picture to all her usual clubs and informs the bartenders that she's a minor so they won't serve her anything. This leads to Thea becoming so desperate for a fix that she tries to hit up a sleazy dealer located in the Glades, only to nearly get kidnapped by him. Thankfully, Laurel (in her vigilante identity) is nearby and manages to save her, and the whole experience causes Thea to finally take Laurel's words to heart and go clean. Later on, as a result of Laurel trying to convince the Restons to pursue legal means of getting their money after their dismissal, Thea is briefly taken hostage, Kyle Reston is killed, and Moira simultaneously orders Laurel to stay away and refuses to give anyone compensation for the dismissal as she feels that she would just be encouraging criminal behavior. On a more minor note, Laurel forgiving Samantha basically leaves Samantha feeling as though she has "permission" to move on with her life and start dating again, giving her another reason to limit Oliver's contact with William. Ted feels that this applies when he learns about the Tournament of Skulls, a fighting contest between various low-level criminals; since the vigilantes have been clearing the streets of most of the people who'd normally take part in such fights, the organizers are turning their attention to the clients of the Wildcat Gym. Laurel will likely feel that this applies to her when she learns that Felicity has been fired from Queen Consolidated and joined her father as a criminal hacktivist rather than becoming Team Arrow's tech support.

While Sara is aware of Laurel's status as a time-traveler, to date she is unaware that Laurel was sent back from the moment of her own death.

Entertainingly Wrong: It's not an "amusing" kind of entertaining, but there's a certain dark humor in Tommy starting to speculate that the Chinese Triad were responsible for sinking the Queen's Gambit and killing his father. On top of that, Moira muses that she initially speculated that the Hood might be Merlyn's "associate" operating under a new benefactor, although that was easily disproved as the Hood is clearly operating with a different agenda than Malcolm.

comment
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Oliver correctly deduces that while Laurel still loves him, she believes that he does not love her, but incorrectly concludes that this is the result of his affair with Sara. In truth, the original timeline convinced Laurel that Felicity is Oliver's One True Love, helped no doubt by that Oliver's poor treatment of her. Quentin decides that he needs to work on his drinking because he feels that Black Canary tracking him down to talk is a sign that he's getting sloppy and losing focus if he missed the signs that he was being "stalked" by a vigilante, rather than realize that Black Canary knows his habits for a more personal reason.

Broken Pedestal: Oliver already knew that Robert Queen had his flaws, but he is forced to face that knowledge directly during the Restons' attempt to sue the company for unfair dismissal as he learns how the company openly cheated them out of compensation. During the mob war, Helena's faith in the team takes a knock when she hears Green Arrow make a deal with the Bratva, to the extent that she compares it to Nudocerdo's own deal with the mobs. However, Batman and Laurel are able to help Helena accept that the Arrow at least uses that connection to save lives rather than take them, even if all parties acknowledge that it will take time for Helena to come to terms with that revelation.

Only in It for the Money: Naomi Singh isn't interested in simply enjoying Oliver's presence for eye candy, and won't help him simply because he asks, forcing Oliver to pay her for her work. The fact that she's an intern for Queen Consolidated and as such isn't being paid just adds to it. That said, when she's fired from Queen Consolidated and hired to officially manage the soup kitchen's online presence and unofficially act as the vigilantes' tech support, she makes it clear that she enjoys this job far more as she feels she is making a more genuine impact.

comment
Didn't Think This Through: Thea tries to pay the Restons on behalf of her family, and ends up being captured by Kyle who misinterpreted her actions as an attempted bribe. Felicity is forced to commit corporate espionage for Ted Daniels under the threat of her life. Rather than doing the sensible thing and reporting it to the authorities and her superiors, she instead tries to frame Naomi for her actions in order to completely absolve herself of any wrongdoing. As pointed out by Walter, if she had just come forward from the start, he would have never fired her for the espionage since she was clearly under duress. Her actions against Naomi, however, are inexcusable, purely self-serving, and more than warrants termination. Quentin feels that this applies to him when he rejects Black Canary's attempt to reach out to him, as he reflects that he could have pretended to be willing to become her police contact to eventually lure her into a trap.

Wealthy Philanthropist
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_9519d89a
comment
Wealthy Philanthropist: Oliver decides to go into philanthropy instead of starting a night club by opening a soup kitchen. Part of this is so he can prove himself to Laurel, but he later admits to her that once the idea entered his mind and he started seriously thinking about it, the more he came to like it. It becomes clear that Oliver genuinely enjoys this kind of work more than any other job he could have had, so Laurel comes to see it as a positive change, and the soup kitchen later becomes a frequent hangout spot for the vigilantes alongside the Wildcat Gym.

You Remind Me of X: When Laurel meets Bruce Wayne, she notices various details about him, ranging from how he observes his surroundings to how his private driver (Alfred) has followed him from Gotham, and privately compares all those little quirks to Oliver's past actions in the original timeline. From these assorted clues, it's relatively easy for Laurel to deduce that Bruce Wayne is Batman when she finds the Hood and Batman fighting near the warehouse where the Queen's Gambit is being kept.

Never My Fault: Felicity may be justified blaming Ted Daniels for forcing her to help him carry out industrial espionage on Queen Consolidated, but as Walter Steele points out, she could have confessed to what she had done herself rather than frame someone else for it. She even vows to expose the Hood as "a violent bully ruining the lives of innocent people" when she legitimately committed a crime and got caught.

Stranger in a Familiar Land: Sara is released from the League and returns to Starling, and finds that her parents are divorced, her father is an alcoholic, and her sister is a vigilante. All this, coupled with being hounded by reporters and Laurel being trained by Nyssa (reminding her of the League) causes her to leave Starling. At least temporarily.

Oliver correctly deduces that while Laurel still loves him, she believes that he does not love her, but incorrectly concludes that this is the result of his affair with Sara. In truth, the original timeline convinced Laurel that Felicity is Oliver's One True Love, helped no doubt by that Oliver's poor treatment of her.

Jerkass Realization: Sara reflects that she only really accepted that she was wrong to sleep with Oliver when Laurel made it clear that she forgave her for it. Sara reflects that if she'd come home on her own and been faced with an angry Laurel, she would have probably gone on the defensive and convinced herself that she was right to be with him, unwilling to face how she'd screwed up in the past. Which is a pretty good summary of how it went in the show.

Laurel notes that by getting Sara released from the League she is depriving Nyssa of the only person she loves, but wouldn't trade having Sara back for anything.

Demoted to Extra: A chain of events lead to Adam Hunt being arrested before Oliver can go after him as the Hood. Also, as part of his attempt to show Laurel he's changed while trying to win her back, Oliver explicitly avoids Felicity as his computer consultant because he's concerned that he'd give Felicity the wrong impression when he wants to show Laurel he can be better. He's so quick to dismiss Felicity as a technical consultant that by the time he meets her in person he's already forgotten her surname and isn't entirely sure of her first name. Then Felicity is written out of the main storyline for the foreseeable future after she's fired from QC and hooks up with her dad as his new cyber-criminal protege.

Irony: After Team Arrow felt that she was too emotional to be a good vigilante in the original future, Laurel is put out when she overhears Ted and Isaac saying that she isn't emotional enough to be a vigilante in the past (they feel that she doesn't have the necessary drive to do what they do at this time). Laurel explicitly notes the irony that she's telling Sara about time travel even if she doesn't explicitly tell Sara about the Legends. Laurel turns Oliver down because she's convinced that Felicity is his One True Love. Oliver (rightly) takes her rejection to mean that she thinks he doesn't love her, and decides to prove himself to her. This leads to him dismissing going to Felicity for tech support out of hand, and instead chooses someone there will be no romantic suggestions with: Naomi Singh.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Laurel's strategy with Isaac basically relies on this assumption, hoping that he regretted his initial murder and just got caught up in his bitterness. Laurel basically says this outright when she tells Sara about her status as a time traveler, assuring Sara "You are stronger than you think and kinder than you know". After the battle against the mobs, Oliver basically gives this to Roy and Tommy, assuring Roy that being afraid in a fight like last night's one is nothing to be ashamed of and observing to Tommy that he at least was always honest about the kind of relationship he wanted with women where Oliver was known to cheat.

Screw Destiny: Oliver essentially says this from Laurel's perspective; when she talks about losing touch with "a friend from college who was good with computers", Oliver suggests that if she can't get back in touch with that friend then it just wasn't meant to happen, unwittingly suggesting to Laurel that she should accept that he won't be with Felicity in this timeline.

In Spite of a Nail
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_d243518d
comment
In Spite of a Nail: Despite Laurel's efforts, Ted and Isaac's partnership still breaks up, although this time she is able to stop Isaac becoming a killer. Nyssa came to Starling City a few years early, but it's implied she still had to beat up airport security. Laurel and Roy's first interaction involves him stealing someone's purse. It isn't Thea's and Laurel easily catches him, but still. Even with Diggle working as Thea's bodyguard rather than Oliver's, he starts to consider becoming a vigilante himself after seeing Black Canary's efforts producing results. The first vigilante he officially joins forces with is Oliver as well. Falk (the Savior) is still inspired by vigilantes to begin his murderous quest for rampage, he just isn't inspired by The Hood. In fact, the fact that Laurel and Ted don't kill is a reason for him to begin, as he feels they aren't going far enough. Much to Laurel's annoyance, Oliver is likely to still have to deal with Carrie Cutter AKA "Cupid", after he saved her life during the vigilantes' battle with the mobs.

What the Hell, Hero?: Sara brings this up when she criticizes Laurel for essentially using her future knowledge to try and force others onto what she thinks is the right path for them, rather than accepting things as they are and recognizing that other people have the right to respond to her changes in their own way.

Refuge in Audacity
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_d45c0b86
comment
Refuge in Audacity: When Laurel starts training with Ted and Isaac (before Isaac had his breakdown), Ted recognizes her fighting style as his own even though he knows he's never trained with her before, but Laurel claims that she is just a fan who's seen some of his matches. Laurel relies on a variation of this when explaining how she found out about Malcolm's plans to Oliver; without revealing the time-travel angle, she just claims that she overheard Malcolm threatening Moira during a party, trusting that Oliver will be more shocked at the idea of Malcolm being the villain to question how Laurel came by that information in the first place.

 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_d7345a5d

Let No Crisis Go to Waste: Laurel, while no longer physically an alcoholic, still has the mentality of one, and unlike in the last timeline no one except her is aware of it. To prevent herself from relapsing, she immediately starts attending AA meetings — and brings Quentin with her, ostensibly for emotional support, but in reality in order to convince him to start treating his alcoholism as well.

Adaptation Name Change: As a result of the different circumstances of her return home, Sara rejects the name "Canary" due to the implications of her ties to the League; Laurel gives her the new name "Halcyon", after a bird that makes its nest on waters and (according to Greek myth) could calm the waves.

Theory Tunnel Vision: Laurel is so certain that Oliver and Felicity are meant to be together that she's both ignoring any evidence that Oliver still has feelings for her and spent several chapters privately assuming that Felicity's already working with Oliver "behind the scenes" before she meets Naomi directly.

Point of Divergence
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_e7f67516
comment
Point of Divergence: Laurel's subtle "rejection" inspires Oliver to adjust his planned cover persona once he returns home, such as setting up a soup kitchen rather than a nightclub as his cover as he wants to set up a place where Laurel will feel welcome and abandoning the idea of flirting with random women to show her that he can be committed, even if he still thinks he'll need to hide his activities as the Hood from her. This desire to be committed also leads to Oliver approaching someone else as a technical consultant, as he worries that Felicity would get the "wrong impression" from his interest, whereas his chosen "target" of Naomi Singh is a recent graduate around Thea's age who would be too young for him. This eventually leads to a series of events that culminates in Felicity joining her father as a fellow cyber-criminal after she's fired from QC for trying to frame Naomi for corporate espionage. Stopping Malcolm Merlyn before Oliver even gets home has several ramifications: Laurel is able to use this to get Ra's to release Sara from the League immediately. This puts Sara in a slightly better mental state, and it allows her to tell Moira Queen about the island. She dispatches Global Rescue and brings Oliver home earlier than in canon. According to an Author's Note, Malcolm was killed before he went to Russia. This allowed Oliver to successfully kill Kovar in Russia, preventing the final showdown on Lian Yu and Oliver being injected with Red Death. As a result, Oliver's mental faculties after he returns home are overall clearer and less depressed since the drug never entered his system. Malcolm's plans for the Undertaking never made it past the blueprints stage, so that has been averted entirely. The Count and Sebastian Blood are both arrested before they can become major threats. Meanwhile, Garfield Lynns is successfully talked out of his planned murder spree by Laurel when she persuades him to try legal action instead of murder.

comment
Rousseau Was Right: Laurel's strategy for Isaac is banking on the idea that he always regretted his initial murder, and that as such she will be able to reach him. She's right. She also bets on this for Garfield Lynns, believing that she can get him to avoid murdering people by convincing him to instead help her file a lawsuit against those responsible for his injuries. She's right again, helped no doubt when he learns his team didn't abandon him like he thought.

Spotting the Thread
 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_ec0ce986
comment
Spotting the Thread: Various parties have independently noticed clues that Laurel's actions aren't a "conventional" turn to vigilantism: Ra's notes three things about Laurel that make him suspicious: her eyes are older than her face, her claim that she overheard Malcolm talking to Moira about the Undertaking is suspiciously careless of him, and her use of the word "crisis" makes him think of the Anti-Monitor. Later on, Bruce and Oliver each privately observe anomalies on Laurel's actions as the Black Canary; Bruce notes that it doesn't make sense for Laurel to go from lawyer to vigilante so suddenly without a suitable catalyst, and Oliver wonders why Laurel singled Roy in particular out to join her in the field over so many other street punks.

Combat by Champion: Laurel invokes this during the Mob War, challenging China White to a duel with the caveat that if she wins, the Triad pulls out of the fighting. After a hard fight, Laurel comes out victorious, forcing the Triad to pull out as per the agreement and making things much easier for the vigilantes.

Easily Forgiven: Played with. Laurel appears to have quickly forgiven those who wronged her (Sara, Samantha, and Oliver-even before he comes home), but in truth she's just had a few years to process it. She does muse at one point that she's going to need to come with an explanation for it all though.

 The Cutting Edge (Fanfic) / int_f8e010ce
comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Nyssa isn't evil, but she was raised as an assassin, and cannot understand why Laurel spares criminals. Likewise, Moira is more misguided than evil, but when the Hood states "I'm not going to hurt you" she immediately associates it with how Merlyn would always imply a threat if she didn't cooperate rather than consider the idea that the Hood genuinely won't hurt her.

Living Emotional Crutch: Both Laurel and Sara are this to Quentin, who is unable to function without both of them alive. Laurel knows that the only way for Quentin to really get better and start living his life again is to get Sara back from the League, and the readers are well aware of how badly Quentin can fall apart without Laurel to keep him together. Quentin himself notes that he's not whole with only one of his girls alive.
