CanaryStar

CanaryStar is the femslash ship between Mia Smoak and Zoe Ramirez from the Arrow fandom.

Season 7
William and Zoe wake up and Blackstar circles them. Zoe says that if she touches her, she will bite her hand off. Blackstar says that almost makes her forget that Zoe is just a rich girl from the Glades playing vigilante dress up. William asks what she wants, and Blackstar wants Archer access codes. Zoe tells her to go to hell, but Blackstar wants to try things a different way and pulls a knife on Zoe. She demands the access codes again, but Zoe tells William to keep his mouth shut. Blackstar then removes the knife and starts to interrogate William.

LOST CANARY

Zoe and Mia run to get away from someone and Zoe asks if he's still following. Mia thinks they lost him when an explosion is suddenly set off. Mia says that she spoke to soon, and Zoe tells her to follow as they run. Zoe gets a call from Dinah, telling them to get to home base and to be careful as they do. Mia says that they need to take their bounty hunter out, but Zoe says that Dinah gave them an order. Mia says that she doesn't work for Dinah and is able to throw an object as a distraction. Once they're clear Zoe says that it's time to go and the two start to move. Mia grabs a pipe, and Zoe asks what she's doing. Mia says that she's finishing it, and goes to attack the bounty hunter. Zoe follows and grabs her arm, telling her that she's going to get them both killed. The two then slip away before the man can notice them again.

They get back to home base, and Mia says she could have taken out the bounty hunter if Zoe hadn't gotten in the way. Dinah says that Zoe made the right call, and they need to lay low. Mia asks if they're meant to do nothing during that time, and Zoe says that they need to mourn their dead. Then figure out a plan.

Season 8
STARLING CITY

As they all enter the Arrow Cave, Mia says the night was a disaster. Zoe says that it would have been fine if Mia hadn't abandoned her post, and Mia asks if she thinks it's her fault. Zoe wants Mia to stop going rogue and actually start working as a team, when Connor tells them to stop.

LEAP OF FAITH

As they enter JJ's HQ, Mia says to Zoe that she knows she thinks this is a bad idea, and Zoe says it wasn't her first choice. Mia thanks her for coming anyway, and Zoe says that they're a team. She just hopes Mia is doing this for the right reasons. Mia asks what she means, and Zoe says she's also mad about JJ nearly killing Will. But fear can't dictate their strategy. Mia says she's not afraid of JJ, but Zoe points out that she is afraid of loosing William.

Mia is cornered by JJ which Zoe sees and calls out to her. Zoe then knocks JJ to the side and asks if Mia is okay. Mia says that she is and thanks her, when JJ stabs Zoe. Zoe falls and Mia catches her as she falls. Mia begs Zoe to stay with her, and Zoe tells her to Rene that she's sorry and that she loves him. Mia insists that Zoe will be okay, and that she has her. But Zoe dies in her arms and she cries.

Fanon
The ship is a rarepair in the Arrow and Arrowverse fandom. It is genuinely enjoyed by most femslash shippers and Canary fans. It tends to get overshadowed by Mia's canon pairings, like her and JJ, or her and Connor.

There are currently no works on AO3.
