this was excellent babe, totally worth the read! it's exactly how i feel Liv feels for the 3 most important men in her life. even if we don't know everything about her and John, somehow this..fits. Charlie's part is emotional to me, especially after what happened in the show and reminded me of "You're gonna be fine", which is their relationship in a nutshell really. Peter's part was the best :D. She is hard to crack but he already has. I expect more in the future *spanks*

thanks Wifey! *hugs*

I found that writing her and John was the easiest just because we have so little to go on so I could make it up, lol. Writing Charlie was harder than expected...it seems as time goes on I miss him more and more instead of the other way around. of course her and Peter was my favorite part to write ;)

glad you liked it, and don't worry this wont be the last. :D

I found myself going, "John!" "Charlie!" at the first two paragraphs, you characterized them so well. YES!! The way Liv feels about those two was put perfectly too.

And then leading into Peter...the way what they have simply feels "right." I loved that because that's so who they are! Connected from the beginning, kindred souls. She finally doesn't feel alone and then the glass thing happens and she's feeling it all over again...awjerowieurou!! The way it's painted reminds me so much of the glass scene in Lost in that they are both so close yet so far from actually being connected. There's so much subtle angst in this and I absolutely adore it. A++++ on this one MB. ♥

thanks for the comment! *hugs*

I'm glad you thought I got the characters down right and I'm getting really excited about the whole glass wall aspect of this thing. It's giving me that Jate feeling all over again and me loves the angst, lol. It's so sad too that Liv loses everyone in her life, and now she might lose Peter. I'm so ready for Thursday!

Somehow, I hadn't read this.

And I apologise profusely. And thank you immensely. :)

I really enjoyed. You have great insights into how Olivia regards each of the three most important men in her life. The John part was perfect, him coming off as the popular high school jock at first and her totally being repulsed on sight. The Charlie part made my heart hurt a little. I miss him and the sanity and stability he brought to her life. The Peter part made my heart smile. I love how she noticed that mix of wonder and desire he'd get on his face while looking at her (it totally fits with his "I've never met anyone who can do the things that you do" line).

I especially liked this line: With John it had been fast, with Charlie it had been easy, with Peter it felt right. Succinct and so true.

Great job and thanks for sharing!
