Caitlicity

Caitlicity is the femslash ship between Caitlin and Felicity from the Arrowverse fandom.

Canon
JANUARY 2014

In mid-January, Felicity visits S.T.A.R. Labs where Barry is being treated while in a coma following the particle excellerator explosion in December. Felicity and Caitlin meet for the first time, as Caitlin and Cisco are tending to Barry along with Dr. Wells. Felicity stays for about a week in Central City, and thus spends some time with both Caitlin and Cisco.

APRIL 2014

Caitlin and Cisco go to S.T.A.R. Labs' branch in Starling City, which is being closed, and do inventory when they are accosted by Deathstroke. With the help of one of S.T.A.R. Labs' inventions they narrowly escape him. Felicity hears about it and rushes to see how they are, seeing as she knows them. She also asks them about Barry and introduces Caitlin and Cisco to Diggle.

FRIENDSHIP

Felicity returns to Central City after Barry has woken from his coma and they go on their first official date. While there, Felicity catches up with Caitlin and works with Team Flash, now that Barry has acquired superpowers. Caitlin and Felicity work well together and enjoy being two scientists who get to spend time together and share ideas, as they generally work with only men otherwise, on their respective teams. When Barry goes up against Captain Cold, Caitlin and Felicity, along with Cisco, threaten him with a machine (that is actually just an industrial vacuum) in spite of none of the three having any superpowers. They bond after this experience of Felicity helping out Team Flash.

Felicity returns to Central City with her new boyfriend, Ray Palmer, whom Caitlin finds very attractive as well. Barry confides in Felicity his suspicions of Dr. Wells and concerns about Caitlin and Cisco, but Felicity assures him that the three of them are a team and that Barry can trust both Caitlin and Cisco. Felicity helps them fight the Bug-Eyed Bandit and chats with Caitlin about new research Caitlin is looking into as well as Felicity's new relationship. Caitlin remarks how nice it is to have another woman to discuss science with in the labs and Felicity agrees.

Fanon
Caitlicity was one of the most popular femslash pairings in the first season of The Flash. Once the following seasons aired, the characters were given less and less significant screen time in crossovers. In addition, canon femslash pairings became a larger part of the two other Arrowverse shows, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow, which also have much bigger focus on female relationships in general. Now it's more of a seldom pairing in the fandom.
