Fantastic introspective piece! Love your Olivia -- she's hurting but she's a fighter and so she's more determined than ever to push through the pain and use what she knows and all she's been through to ensure that she keeps her promise!

But yeah, love how you moved from the feelings of near self-pity to resolve.

Thank you so much! Olivia just refused to wallow in angst; she insisted on pulling herself together and moving on.

use what she knows and all she's been through to ensure that she keeps her promise!

What I would love is if one of the things that helps our side succeed is the fact Olivia was imprinted with Alt!Olivia's memories.

I think which has the better life is an interesting question. On the surface it certainly looks like Alt!Olivia, but she also lives in a world that's been falling apart for more than half her life, and it's hard to say how much that has affected her. Alt!Olivia's life also shaped her into someone who's a bit more of a follower than a leader, who reflexively follows orders rather than questioning them. Is that better, really? (er, sorry for rambling on; it's a question I've spent a lot of time debating with myself, and I'll stop here)

Thanks very much for reading, and I'm glad it felt true.

I'm hoping we see more of the alternate universe and Alt!Olivia gets some expansion as a character. I'm fascinated by the similarities and differences between her and our Olivia, and I'm betting there's more to her that we haven't yet seen.

Lurkers are always welcome; I'm a hardcore lurker myself. I'm delighted this story motivated you to comment, and I'm glad you liked it.
