don’t have a single story idea in my head, and no desire to write, which is odd for me.
Nooooooooo! They broke Rainer! ;)
l accept everything you posit here - the writers have always been consistent with the assertion that certain events will always happen, the difference in both how they unfold and what the outcomes are is all dependent on people's choices. However, the one reset I'm not fond of is Peter growing up in the red!verse (if we assume the Jacksonville trials were already underway) because it means that blue!Walter remains on the same path as Bell, and Olivia doesn't get the same closure. (Because losing Peter twice is what shapes amber!Walter into the person he becomes. Not saying it wouldn't be an interesting universe to explore, or that Peter couldn't find his way over here eventually, but it wouldn't be my favorite. :)
I prefer the theory that the Observers as we know them will not exist, but a kinder, more empathetic version will. A version who are still curious, and do all the things they do in the timelines because they are curious about their origins and the events surrounding Walter, Peter, and Olivia are their genises. Because Walter and September's intent was always to show the future scientists that they didn't have to sacrifice feelings for intelligence, not that they shouldn't persu the research all. (This is Walter, after all, with all his delight and curiosity at new discoveries).
Yeah, they broke me into tiny little pieces, but in a good way.

Yeah, I can understand, it wouldn't be a happy ending for Olivia, but I'm still so very intrigued by the possible riffs from that scenario. And like I said, post finale reaction, I am very content with the ending the writers provided, there's not much I can add to a finale like that. A kinder version of the observers - with the same tech and the same ability to jump between realities - makes perfect sense, too.
*beams* Yes, you definitely could. I snigger every time I hear Olivia's first impression of Peter - a massive pain in the ass - because oh my god did she hit the mark with that one.
