SARA, OLIVER, & ROBERT set sail on the queen's gambit. The trip ends in disaster due to the undertaking ( a plan by tempest to keep the city prosperous & get rid of crime in the glades ), leading to robert's death & the seperation of sara & oliver.SHE ENDS UP STRANDED in the east china sea & is later rescued by a ship named THE AMAZO. onboard, she meets a man, anthony ivo, who claimed he could save humanity. seeing no other option, she joined him in his search for mirakuru - a serum developed by the japanese during WWII that could boost muscle strength, enhance senses, & regenerate cells.

OVER THE NEXT YEAR, ivo protected sara from his ship's crew while teaching her biology, chemistry, & technology. in return, she helped with his experiments & tortured captives, driven by the fear of becoming his next victim. she reunited with oliver only after ivo’s men captured him & saved his life by suggesting they use him to find the gravesite where the hōzen with the coordinates to the submarine that had the mirakuru was supposedly located. upon reaching the gravesite, ivo's guards briefly interrogated oliver about the hōzen before shado & slade ambushed them, demanding his release. when ivo complied, oliver punched him & escaped with sara.LATER THAT DAY shado revealed she had the hōzen prompting the four of them to find it, with ivo & his crew in pursuit. after they located the submarine, oliver injected slade with the serum despite sara's warning that he MIGHT NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT A SEDATIVE. slade reacted badly & then fell quiet leading the others to believe he had died. before they could mourn, ivo & his men captured them. In a fit of rage, ivo forces oliver to choose between sacrificing sara or shado. when he hesitated, ivo threatened to kill them both.

WITH IVO'S GUN pointed at sara, oliver intervened, which ivo took as a choice & SHOT SHADO IN THE HEAD. slade, alive & fueled by mirakuru, found her body & killed ivo's men, taking the remaining mirakuru as they fled. when he demanded to know who killed shado, sara swiftly jumped in & lied, saying she was shot without reason.THE NEXT MORNING, they prepared for battle. oliver allowed himself to be captured while sara & slade watched from a high point on the island. as ivo's men cleared the deck, they jumped down with makeshift parachutes & freed all remaining prisoners. realizing they were rapidly losing, sara & a few captives jumped ship & swam to shore. OLIVER WAS CAPTURED BY SLADE at the last minute & held aboard as revenge for shado's death.SHORTLY AFTER, slade contacted sara & offered to trade oliver for the engineer, hendrick, because the ship was broken. they planned to use the exchange to kill slade, with anatoly hiding explosives on hendrick.ADMIST THE CHAOS OF THE NEXT ATTACK, anatoly launched a torpedo at the amazo, causing it to flood. slade reached in a last ditch effort to grab the mirakuru, but was too late & decidedly threw sara into the hole blown into the ship. she miraculously SURVIVED the sinking of the amazo & made it to the island’s shore, believing both oliver & slade to be dead when she couldn’t find them.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, she aimlessly wandered lian yu, exhausted, hungry, & losing the will to survive. NYSSA AL GHUL found her, took care of her, & offered her shelter with the league of assassins ( a secret group of highly trained killers who hunt down & eliminate people considered threats to society & the world ).SHE SPENDS THE NEXT THREE YEARS in the league's bunker, a vast underground complex hidden in NANDA PARBAT. during this time, she served ra's, fell in love with nyssa, & deliberately distanced herself from her family in starling ( even after oliver's return & the hood's arrival ).

AFTER THE UNDERTAKING, sara left the league to visit her family, finding herself unable to leave once she was there. embracing her new role, she became the vigilante known as THE CANARY, primarily targeting anyone who preyed on women. her identity & the safety of her family was compromised when oliver ( dressed as the green arrow ) unmasks & eventually convinces her to come home. sara only reveals her past with the league & the threat of their pursuit after an attack from one of it's members. in order to draw their attention away from her friends & family, she leaves starling & makes everyone, including her father, promise to keep her existence a secret.MONTHS LATER, oliver calls her to help with laurel's downward spiral. she makes it home in time to see laurel collapse, calling to have her rushed to the hospital. despite this, she considers leaving again.


background


LATER THAT EVENING she ran into nyssa, who begged her to go back to the league. after a bit of back & forth, sara made it clear she SHE COULDN'T GO BACK TO HER OLD LIFE & told nyssa to do what she had to. the next time she saw her was when her & oliver went to confront her about poisoning laurel. instead of having the upper hand they find she'd abducted her mom, giving her 24 hours to rejoin the league or live without her mom. she ultimately decided to surrender, poisoning herself with tibetan pit viper venom as the means to her end. after being saved by oliver, she again asked nyssa to release her, succeeding only because she chose DEATH.IN MAY, she returned to nanda parbat to ask for the league's help in taking down slade. after gaining their commitment, they returned to starling to help the team bring down the army of mirakuru soldiers. afterward, she left home, looking to travel & restore the pieces of her soul she'd lost.IN OCTOBER she met up with laurel, pleading with her not to tell their dad she was home. after a quick chat, laurel left, leaving sara alone on a rooftop where a hooded figure confronted her. before she could react, three arrows struck her in the chest & she fell from the roof, DYING FROM HER INJURIES upon impact with the ground below.

THIS IS HER SOULLESS PERIOD - i'll be writing this at a later date.Posuere sollicitudin aliquam ultrices sagittis orci. Vestibulum sed arcu non odio euismod lacinia at. Nunc consequat interdum varius sit amet. Tempor orci eu lobortis elementum nibh tellus molestie nunc non. Vitae justo eget magna fermentum iaculis eu non diam.

THIS PERIOD FOLLOWS THE MAIN PLOT POINTS of the remainder of the series. i'm incredibly canon divergent from this point forward & it's ever evolving - for the most up to date canon for this time please visit my canon divergence tag.Please select a link to see season specific canon divergences : seasons 4 & 5, season 6, season 7, & season 8.

DEFAULT    ────    𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧    ›    ㅤ the plot of this verse follows arrow seasons 4 - 8 & sara's journey as a vigilante / civilian, following both the loss & subsequent recovery of her soul. throughout this period she battles with an overwhelming bloodlust, ( a relentless & aggressive desire to kill without control ) which hits its peak between the years 2016 & 2019, gradually diminishing in intensity as she continues to live & cope with it.

TERTIARY    ────    𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧    ›    ㅤ Follows the five months ( november 2015 to april 2016 ) between her resurrection & eventual reunion with team arrow. this period proves particularly challenging as she grapples with her bloodlust, embarking on international travels in a bid to tame it before returning home. while the events of arrow are recognized in this storyline, they don't significantly influence sara or her decisions ( save the death of her sister which prompts her return ).

ALTERNATE    ────    𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟    ›    ㅤ i have a whole timeline written out that covers season 2 thru post-series. tou can find it here. Please let me know where in my timeline / what season you'd like our thread to be set in.NOTE: My timeline is based off hells-half-acre's LiveJournal post.

ALTERNATE    ────    𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗘    ›    ㅤ in the beginning stages of the apocalypse, sara survives by leaning on her training as an assassin & on her instincts. when demons & the croatoan virus begin to overrun humanity, she goes underground & uses her time to hone her skills, heading out each night until it became something she could do in her sleep. over time, she became known as the ghost ( partially due to her ability to infiltrate demon hideouts, eliminate threats, & disappear without a trace ). she usually operates alone & is driven by guilt & a need for redemption.

ALTERNATE    ────    𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗥    ›    ㅤ sara is traveling with a group of friends when they find themselves hunted by a masked killer. from the start, she's on the defensive, using her wits to survive ( you know, final girl shit ). the tables, however, turn & she reveals that she’s not only capable of surviving but also of hunting the killer.the verse will always end with her walking away, bloodied & bruised, leaving her morality in question. did she go too far ? is she a hero, or did she enjoy hunting the killer ?

ALTERNATE    ────    𝟵-𝟭-𝟭    ›    ㅤ another verse where i have an entire timeline written with her 9-1-1 involvement beginning between seasons 3 & 4. you can find a detailed overview here.UPDATE, 7/8/2024: at this time the verse remains unfinished. i have a basic summary of her move to LA & her involvement with the LAPD & the 118. Please reach out if you want to know more !

ALTERNATE    ────    𝗧𝗩𝗗 / 𝗧𝗢    ›    ㅤ sara, with her time-traveling abilities & her own timeline in jeopardy, arrives in mystic falls on a mission to investigate the originals & how they tie into the history of supernatural beings. specifically, she's searching for any mystical artifact linked to the mikaelson family that could save the timeline in her own universe. however, once she finds it she learns that it's cursed, binding her to mystic falls until she can break it.

ALTERNATE    ────    𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗘    ›    ㅤ this verse centers around sara's reluctance to attend college, only going because she was pushed by her family to lead a normal life after years of causing trouble in starling city. on the surface, she’s the campus party queen, throwing epic get togethers, becoming involved with her sister's boyfriend, & embracing her wild reputation. beneath the carefree façade, she's deeply curious & restless, drawn to uncovering mysteries that no one else could solve.MAJOR : CRIMINOLOGY - she struggles with academic expectations, but excels in anything hands-on.
