Fics like by their own follies

There are many fools who chase after gold, and for good reason. Gold is not the rarest metal, but it would be a lie to say it wasn’t one of the most beautiful. There is a quality to it, like captured sunlight, that draws people to it like moths to a flame. It’s not unthinkable that people would fight and bargain and bleed for such a substance. Personally, Oliver considers gold to be rather boring. Chemically speaking, it’s relatively uninteresting, being one of the least reactive elements, occurring on its own in a simple, solid form. It’s pretty, yes, Oliver can’t deny that, but on the whole? Boring as fuck. It's not Oliver's intention to give himself the golden touch, but when his experimentation with alchemy goes wrong, the effects of his mistake ripple out, leaving their marks on the people around him. Mark and Alex are trying their best to help fix things, but as matters spiral out of control, consequences begin to pile up. Essentially: a mythological au where Oliver is in the vague role of Midas including many accidents, a kiss, and a tragedy.
