I finished this story awhile ago, but didn't have the time to really put forth a review until now. So I wanted to at least acknowledge that I did read it to its completion and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jumping back to The Speech, those chapters really blew my mind. I did NOT expect the assassination attempt on Olivia, nor did I expect her to actually die. You did really well in conveying a sense of panic and urgency and I really didn't know how the heck the story was going to proceed from there. Of course, for the second time, I completely forgot about soul magnets. It would be just like Walter to try and failsafe his daughter-in-law's life to make sure Peter didn't suffer the same type of loss that he did.

I know that "All We Need is a Miracle" also made use of soul magnets, but I thought your implementation of it was different enough to where I didn't think "been there done that" as I read it. I really thought you nailed the scene with Brandon coming out to tell Peter of what Walter was up to. The characterization and story-telling was totally Fringe. I could imagine that's exactly how Brandon would react and his dialog was spot-on.

I really enjoyed Game Night as well. I've said this before, but you do so well in concocting these life events into your story that are unique and so human and domestic, that I really feel like I'm seeing another side of the characters we know and love from on screen. On another note, the Alive-Again clause was genius and clever. Made me laugh.

Bonus points for using the seemingly now adult, child observer from Inner Child and his Olivia introduced love of M&Ms at the end. Really satisfying ending to an outstanding bit of work that is really quite different from many I've read here. Excellent use of "fringe" characters that we often don't see a lot of in the series or even in other stories and I really appreciated gaining insight on your take of their lives as well. Very well done and I hope this story is not your last in the Fringe universe.

Your welcome baconfaced! This definitely made the hiatus bearable. (I know, I know. I didn't have much of one. I'm a weakling.) I thought the ending was just perfect. Well done. If suggesting characters cross dress gets you to write another fic I'll glady continue to do so.

(Can I review on my own story? Guess I'll find out)

Thanks for the reviews! You guys not only make my day, but up my confidence.

Newton, you're actually right. "All We Need is a Miracle" by HeartandImagination has a very similar plot line. But also way different, since that was Peter and Peter is male.

Okay, kidding about that last bit. When I read that story my first thought was "Damn!" and I considered not writing what I had planned. But it was something I've wanted to explore since we learned about soul magnets, and I already had rough drafts of half my chapters (including a brainstorming blurb with the title 'Dr. Frankenstein'), so I continued. We can only hope the characters realize what we fans have.

And if anyone has not checked that story out, do so. It's much more serious and better written than mine.

For some reason, this chapter seems familiar to another story I read here...

Holy crap! Tht is all!

Something you do exceedingly well, is come up with these domestic scenarios in which to place our favorites Fringies and still manage to characterize them accurately. I'm really finding their reactions and interactions with each other to be truly believable.

I feel like I'm getting a behind the scenes glimpse of Peter and Olivia's home life and you've done a fantastic job of humanizing each and every single of the characters into relatable people outside of the superhero type work they do while in Fringe.

I really enjoy the fact that you delve outside of just Peter and Olivia as well. That's been one of the biggest joys for me with reading this story. Including in depth characterizations of Lincoln(s), Alt-Liv, Rachel and even Marilyn Dunham should be commended.

Ahhh plz update soon! Plz!

I've enjoyed these last couple chapters! I like seeing Liv and Peter in everyday life.

Omg tht last part made me actually lol! Good job! I hope u keep writing!

*my last bit got cut off, my bad.*

Anyway: I agree with WalterWalternate, this is underreviewed. But I wouldn't worry about that too much, this is easily the ShoeBox Project of Fringe fanfiction.

*Squeeee* So much love. It's so fluffy and just how I want everything to turn out.

In general, I am curious about the intricacies of Lincoln and Rachel's relationship. You're attention to detail/Fringe accuracy is phenomenal.

I look forward to more of anything from you.

This will be long, since I'm reviewing 4 chapters at once, but you're still indulging the guilty pleasures of Fringe fans and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Peter in Walter's "purple never goes out of style" tux was a nice touch. That scene with Walter and Peter in the Bishop Revival has always been a memorable moment for Peter/Olivia fans.

Using Sam to marry Peter and Olivia was perfect and his vows recital was spot on characterization. I couldn't imagine a more appropriate set of vows coming from Sam. Peter's was funny (for us readers at least!) with the doppelganger reference. Olivia's was a great choice with her withholding of Peter's origin. That was a huge strike against her and at least on par with Peter's mistake, and that often doesn't get pointed out enough.

Really loved that you've brought back some of the more obscure characters into this story. Having Chris Broyles be there with his mother at the wedding was a nice tribute to Alt-Broyles' sacrifice. Absolutely nailed Markham's voice and mannerisms. I really enjoy him on the show and I got a good chuckle with his actions at the wedding reception.

You've really done well in accentuating a lot of the small details that happen on the show into elements if your story. So many tiny things that the true Fringe fanatic can appreciate and notice. And I DO notice!

Fantastic job of handling the Rachel/Olivia relationship. I miss those moments on the show, because it really humanizes Olivia and brings to focus that she's not just a Cortexiphan Super Soldier. Rachel's conversation about children with Olivia is a nice glimpse into Olivia as sister, aunt, wife and potential mother and a bit of normalcy.

Chapter 13 is one of my favorite chapters. I liked that you went Alt-Liv-centric there. I never thought she was an evil bitch, so seeing something more focused on her perspective is a welcome change. She cherishes her mother and wants to protect her emotionally by still having to perpetuate the lie of Henry's conception. She could really throw Peter under the bus, but she realizes it was her doing (nice reference to the gun pointing in Entrada, but did you mean she at him or him at her? ;)).

I think it was really cool that you constructed a meeting between Marilyn and Rachel/Ella. Another What If moment that would be nice to see one day on screen, but that we most likely never will. Also liked the introduction of Rachel's cancer and how she's being treated by Other Side technology. Anyway, that's a whole lotta review for now. So far, so very good.

More more more!

;)

I love it! Every single bit of it! Waiting for what happens next. :)

So how many chapters is this story going to be? I'm now 9 chapters in and I know reviewers say this all the time about stories they're enjoying, but...this story is just getting better and better! Seriously, if there are people out there who read reviews for feedback before reading the actual story, read this story. And review it!

I think you've done a commendable job with your characterizations. Elizabeth's dialog and actions are very in character and it makes Chapter 7 very believable to me. Still a bit of intrigue with regards to Elizabeth's memories of Peter's last visit and Peter's non-recollection.

I like how Olivia immediately took the surrogate mother role with Henry, even though he is not her child. Though she must look at Henry and know that genetically, he would be the equivalent of a child conceived between she and Peter.

The reference to Olivia's lost sketchpad was awesome. You weren't kidding when you mentioned in your author's note about wanting to write about events you wished you'd see on the show. I want to see that too! But you did a fine job of at least giving me as a reader, some resolution with the Olivia/Peter drawing callback. Brought a smile to my face.

Another fine job of characterization with Rachel. I really wish that she'd come back for a few episodes in the show, but I'm glad that authors like yourself haven't forgotten her.

I liked your background story of Olivia being abducted and injured because of some twisted form of inter-universe capitalism. I found that very original. Olivia was in typical form as well. Always looking out for others' safety, while sacrificing something of herself.

Yet another outstanding callback with the Night of Desirable Objects reference. I loved that scene and the look on Peter's face after literally dodging that bullet by Olivia. I often wondered how Olivia internally felt about just narrowly missing shooting Peter in the head.

Chapter 9 was really brilliantly done. I wouldn't call it extreme fluff. It really didn't read like rainbows and unicorns to me, but instead, something genuine and honest. Loved the immediate self-doubt by Olivia when Peter pulled away to get the ring and how quickly ones' mind jumps to conclusions when in the face of possibly making a mistake. Then it was mirrored almost immediately by Peter, seconds later.

Really enjoyed the impromptu speeches and again, fine characterization. Olivia's speech was really well done. And Olivia HAD always made the first move. A nice observation that many have noticed, but have not always written about or explored.

A big thumbs up for bringing up the Rachel phone call from Unleashed. One of the first signs of Olivia developing some sort of attachment to Peter. I'll never forget the shit-eating grin on Peter's face as he asks Olivia if being friends with Rachel bothers her. Thanks for reminding me. Made me grin myself, reading it.

3 more chapters and I'll be all caught up. I hope there's more to come, because you've done an outstanding job keeping it fresh and unique.
