OMG YOU ARE MY HERO. THIS WAS SO FREAKING PERFECT.

I love love love love the way you wrote this, the comparisons between both Olivias and Peter/Lincoln. God, you're a genius and I love you for it.

I keep scrolling down, muttering "More. Need more. Where's more?"

I'm left accepting the fact that there isn't more of this fantastic fic. And that's too bad!!

I sincerely enjoyed every line of it! It's crazy how Altlivia is way more 'likable' to me in fanfics, especially when she is well written, as she is in yours.

Beautiful, beautiful story. I love the parallel between our two Olivias, and two men who love each of them. Peter notices her haunted look, and Lincoln notices the lack of smile in her eyes. Such a brilliant way to tie it all up! I'm just LOVING this :D

Seriously, you rock ♥ Thank you so much for writing this.

awww, thank you for the lovely comments! I wish I had more time on my hands to write longer fics because that's usually what people say, lol. they are too short!

I'm finding AltLivia more likeable in fics too which is why I hope they do show some unguarded side of her and have her sort of break down. I know it would really help me to symphatize with her more. I know this has to be hard for her.

thanks again for the comment and for reading! you rock!

I love that you made all the characters um gray not black and white-like most fans would say Altivia is the bitchhhh but she's not cos she's doing her job. I love that Lincoln, similar to Peter, says "Don't be." cool! and that both guys know something off. I really like it!

thank so much for reading and commenting! and yeah, I definitely like my 'gray' characters more than any other. As soon as AltLivia showed some resistance to sleeping with Peter in the last episode, I suddenly liked her more because she wasn't all "black" per say. she's got emotions too! thanks again!

so you must be tired of hearing how perfect your fics are. because they are! so i'll just say this. of all the fics i've ever read, or should i say of all the writers i've read stuff by (and because of you that has become a lot more than it used to), you have the most memorable endings in your paragraphs. your last quotes always stick with me when i'm done reading. also, great characterization of Altivia. i actually wish for this to happen so we can sympathize more with her. Lincoln/Liv are always <333

PS. i'n not even needed anymore DAMMIT!

pssshhh, you can tell me I'm perfect all day! *bats eyelashes* jk jk :p

I'm really glad that those endings stick with you because they are usually my favorite to write. As a reader myself (both of fanfiction and just general fiction), I love when lines stick with you and I've always admired writers who can do that, so it's such a huge compliment for you to say the same about me. <33

I really hope they give us something to help us get AltLivia. It was hard to write her because I feel like she is not a fully-formed character yet. I figure she must just bury everything, and that underneath everything she can be vulnerable.

Lincoln/Liv -----> I want flashbacks damnit!

YOU ARE NEEDED *CLINGS*

my brain is currently exploding from the awesomeness of this fic.

i actually like fauxlivia (shhhhh!). and you wrote her exactly the way i see her on the show. she hates what she's doing, but she really doesn't have another way out.

and LINCOLN! he is my favorite character Over There (sorry Scarlie, you're awesome too), and i can't help but notice the slight parallels between him and peter as well. they both have feelings for their respective olivias, and that's what's preventing them from realizing something is off.

i love the 'i'm scared/don't be' (and now i wanna go watch jacksonville), and then at the end both peter and lincoln realize that they're different....

GAH I JUST LOVE THIS FIC.

i apologize for writing a novel about this. i just have so much love. you are my hero.

HEARTS IN MY EYES. I LOVE YOU FOR THIS COMMENT!

I like fauxlivia too! as you can probably tell from this fic. I'm glad you thought I got her down right because she's not really fully-developed yet as a character and I didn't have a lot to go on, lol.

LINCOLN IS MY FAV OTHER THERE TOO!! although Scarlie is indeed awesome ;) and yes, I see the parallels between Peter and Lincoln too and how they are both too close to see what's there. Which is why I sort of had them both noticing something was off about the Olivias finally.

never apologize for the long comments! I love them ;)
