Fringe

Like the Best Ever by

Olivia smiles down at him, and anyone else would be frantic. But she’s humming with energy, pent-up and waiting, practically pulsing with the effort to sit still. She’s got a gun, and she knows to outrun everyone, ever. Really lovely story where Peter asks questions and Olivia...doesn't really answer them, except the one that matters. Gets the voices just right.

Now instead of John and sex and happiness there were mental hospitals and petrified buses and people pissing themselves 'just a squirt' in her car.

Olivia looked at the little lit-up name on her phone and groused, "This is not my job," except that now it kind of was. At least, that was the impression she'd been getting from the people in nicer suits than she wore.

She hit send and said, "Dunham," at the same time Peter did.

"We can't both be Dunham," he said. "You take today and I'll take tomorrow." Olivia and Peter, in the wake of the s2 finale, trying to get their connection back. Intense and heartbreaking.

One Hundred Reasons by

Some of Olivia's hundred reasons why Peter should come home. Lovely, and really feels like Olivia to me. Odd as it seems to her now, Olivia had forgotten the reason why she wanted Peter to join Fringe Division in the first place: he keeps Walter grounded. As far as he's come in recent months, with his son gone, Walter either isn't able or isn't willing to keep working. Olivia's carefully assembled team is falling to pieces around her, and she feels helpless to do anything to stop it. A little over a year ago, she wouldn't have imagined that so much of her life could depend on the presence of just one person.

Peter tilts his head. "You don't sleep, do you?"

Although her expression doesn't change, he's pretty sure that she's trying not to smile. "Not often. Can you go get Walter?" Six times Olivia wakes Peter. I enjoyed the easy give and take between them in this set of vignettes.
