In the Things That Have Roy category of stuff I've read--
Green Arrow: Quiver Green Arrow: Archer's Quest All of Outsiders to date Justice League of America #1
And um, some of that giant omnibus of Green Arrow from when he was Speedy. But I think I am not going to read any more of that because, well, it all started to blur after a while.
I should probably also say that I know the pertinent details -- heroin, Cheshire, Checkmate, Lian, etc etc etc. The problem is that I don't know the um, *vague gesture* emotional context? How he feels about most of it.
Like, mostly I am trying to get a handle on the character for um. Fic. Purposes. Maybe.
Have you read Arsenal 1-4 by Devin Grayson? It does pretty much exactly what you're looking for-- tells Roy's journey, lots of flashbacks, pulls it all together into one thing.
Alternately, you could try Devin Grayson's novel "Inheritance." (Which depends on a sort of novelization of the flashback bits in Arsenal 1-4, plus some more Cheshire bits.) And yes, everything you've heard about it is true-- it's just *not* very good at all, plus the kind of "Honey, your id vortex is showing" mentor/student eepiness, but she does give good Roy.
I've read Inheritance which, er, I took with a bit of salt because novelizations != canon. And I did not know that there was an Arsenal mini, so, er, no. Haven't read that one!
There's more up now--I think I got the strip club one-off Green Arrow issue number right. Otherwise, it's some random GA issue I thought was the right one.
(I'd put the whole freaking Titans run up there, but it's kind of a lot of issues, so I may go through them and see which arcs had the best Roy.)

...now Amy will have to listen to more of my inane babbling about how much I love him!
He's a *dad*. Who loves his daughter. He totally had me at hello.

Just the mini up now, but the rest of the Arsenal stuff will be up later.

Seriously, ask for whatever you want. If it's in my power to give you, it's yours.

Mostly, I love to share the love.
