... excuse me, I need to find a dustpan and broom for the pieces of my heart.

[chichuri]

Yeah, I suspect broken hearts is the best we can expect of this storyline. I don't think there's any way this is going to end well.

Thanks for reading!

[chichuri]

I know... Thanks for reading.

Oh Peter...

I can imagine the show going exactly like this. How could it not?

[chichuri]

Thank you.

I'm expecting that we've seen the last of the light and innocent Peter and Olivia banter for a long while. This revelation is going to shadow everything.

[endalaust]

Yeah :(

Great job in this fic... I can't imagine Olivia just agreeing to keep that secret, or being able to pull herself together from this. My heart breaks for Walter, too, because we know he's a different person now than he was then, but I think he would do it all over again because he loves Peter so much. The previews made it look like we're going to learn more about the hows and whys of losing our world's Peter and taking the one from the AU. It's going to be interesting to see where the writers go next.

Oh wow you pack so much power into so few words. Gah, I LOVE this. You took that look Anna Torv gives us at the end of the ep and do so much with it here. I love the part about the howling. It fits so well with the episode and the dogs barking because they know destruction is near

[chichuri]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! (and totally flailing that you left such a long and wonderful review on such a tiny little bit of fic!)

Olivia killed me at the end of the episode; the look in her eyes was heartwrenching. And given how well Peter seems to know Olivia, how many times he's looked at her and asked what was wrong and if she was all right, I just can't see him not knowing something was wrong. And with all of this coming out in the open, the angst is going to shadow the entire rest of the season.

[sugangel7]

Exactly! The writers have shown us time after time how in tune he is with her feelings and emotions and how much he cares about her and how she's doing. So I just can't see her being able to keep this a secret from him for that long. And there will be major angst which I'm totally okay with and excited for as long as it's done right (which I have faith that the writers will do!)

[chichuri]

I think the angst will be awesome to watch; I'm just hoping there's a third season to carry us through to the logical conclusions of all the angst, and maybe help us start to get a smattering of happy resolution.

Ugh. Wonderfully heartbreaking.

[chichuri]

Thank you.
