I like that thought of the sand/hourglass imagery. It's not one of the ones that I had in mind when I was writing this, but I do like the thought out it.

Thank you!

She remembers being terrified and is mildly surprised to find she is not now.This sentence stuck out to me for some reason. I really like it but I can't put my figure on why exactly. It just makes sense to me that she's not terrified. Maybe because in my dreams, strange things will happen but I feel oddly detached from it all like I should feel more freaked out or terrified by what's happening but I'm just not

Everything's so strange and surreal and yet it feels like it must be real at the same time.

Which is exactly what I was aiming for, so it's nice that it came across. I wanted to try and make it like a dream, but give reason to question the reality of it too.

I don't know what else to say, you've said such lovely things about it.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed this! I especially loved that they argued over who's dream it was, I can totally see that happening lol. Very nice, thank you :)

[kazzy]

Thank you! :D

I like the dreamlike quality of this, how people come and go and some things make sense even though they shouldn't, the way dreams so often do.

You say this came out more gen than anything else, but in the end Peter's the only one she can see and touch and hear without any problems, so. Plus, y'know, the kiss. ;)

I know this is a mostly serious piece but I love this line: “This isn’t how my dreams of you usually go.” Ha! Something for Olivia to tease him about once she's back and things have settled down. *g*

And the ending is perfect; that's a fantastic line. Given her situation and her abilities, it really could go either way, and she'd be very confused about what's real and what's not after being trapped in darkness.

I wanted this to be as dreamlike as possible so that the reality was questionable. I'm glad that seems to have come across well.

Thank you!

So Fringey! I love it. AND you got away without giving any answers. ;)

Very well written fic. A little spooky, a little twisted, and a little hopeful. I want season three NOW.

[kazzy]

Oh, I'm very good at not answering things. ;)

And ditto on season 3. Not too much longer, though!

Thank you!
