fic: The Noose Around Your Neck

Fandom: Fringe

A/N: This was one of the hardest things I have written in ages and it's less than 300 words! I rewrote parts of it like 4 or 5 times. But I had huge breaks between classes today so I figured I'd write something while watching the snow fall. It hasn't stopped snowing since noon! Pray for a snow day!

Title is from The Cave by Mumford &

Brilliant opening lines:

The problem was never in running. It was in getting caught.I feel like this is such a Peter sentiment too. He wanders and he wanders, and he's used to that, he's good at running from place to place and so yes that isn't the problem. It's getting caught -- whether it be by Big Eddie and his guys, a badass FBI agent who blackmails him into retrieving his father, or the woman he's fallen in love with

yay!! I'm so glad you caught that. And I like to think that after awhile he won't be so upset about being caught. I think in some ways he's already let Olivia "catch" him and in that respect, it might be harder for him to let her go.

I think those statements just really portray the bitterness and pain Peter must be feeling, in that he'd found a reason to stay in one place but now looking back after he left that place too it's like he thinks to himself 'I should've known better. Things don't change.'yes! it's such a gut-wrenching thought and I think it will be interesting once Peter finds out whether or not he will feel this way. I definitely think he will and will revert back to his old ways as a

i love sucking up on my wifey *slurp*

you did it once again bb. i don't even know why you didn't want to post it, this is bomb!

fav part:

She was walking into the FBI building, long blonde hair blowing in a gust of wind. Even in this universe, she had a pull over you like gravity.

You learned the hard way, you can’t outrun momentum.

i would LOVE to see Peter meeting AU!Olivia. no matter the outcome i'm sure it would have an impact on him and i feel like i can see Josh's face! last line is so Peter too.

loved this bb. you are on a serious roll LMAO.

I guess I just didn't want to post it because I had been looking at it all day and I wanted to rip into tiny tiny shreds by the time I was done, lol. I'm finding writing for Fringe is harder than my other fandoms, and yet, I can't keep myself from writing them.

I thought of you when I wrote that part about her hair. :P god, him meeting the AU!Olivia has to happen! I have to see how he reacts and Josh would be all over that. I could totally see him being like he was with Olivia when he first met her, completely condescending. And I imagine AU!Olivia as a complete bitch!

thanks for the comment bb! *hugs*

OHHHHH MY PETER BE STILL MY HEART. You know what's funny? I feel like you write canon. I could totally see this happening.

Liv is definitely something he didn't account for and you expressed the ramifications of that beautifully.

I love love loved this. Keep on girl, you're gifted with words, darlin'. And you know these characters so well. ♥

thanks babe! I'm so glad you think it seems canon.

you leave the best comments! *hugs*
