O, if I were a talented vidmaker
I’d compile the 6B or Short Story ending, Welcome to Westfield opening, and the morning scene in 3x20 to make them look like the events of one night and the moring after

Olivia is metal. She feels no fear, no anger, no grief. She works at a desk in an office with a window that faces the statue of liberty. She doesn’t look out the window often, she rarely looks up from her desk. She ignores the stiffness of her neck, the dryness of her eyes, she’s probably blinking less than she usually does. She needs to stay focussed on her desk. She can’t let herself think of anything else. If she lets her mind wander, she’ll feel the abyss that used to be something that she won’t let herself think about. She won’t listen to the crashing and screaming and crying always in the background. She won’t hear the constant panicked tones of her colleagues’ voices, only the information they carry. She will not see the statistics she reads as anything other than numbers she will use to decide the most effective course of action to take. She will not look at the names of abandoned areas and realize that Quincy street is on the list and wonder if somewhere in Boston a looter is wearing her wedding ring. She will not look at the ever-growing list of refugee camps and wonder which one Peter is frantically running through at this moment. She will not, must not, cannot, look at the daily reports of the dead and think of the number printed at the top of the page as people, people who had been children, babies, little girls with long chestnut hair that gets lighter and straighter every day but her eyes stay that same shade of blue and she still laughs when she sees no.
No.
She will not think like that.
She is empty.
She has no weak point.
Olivia is metal.
I can’t watch this scene without imagining Peter holding Etta at the hospital right after her birth, comparing her face to Olivia’s while she’s sleeping

Purely based on episode speculation, no spoilers

Astrid: Lives
Broyles: Dies
Walter: Dies, calls Astrid by her name
Peter and Olivia: Alive but separated by space and/or time
Etta: Brief appearance in toddler form
Anil: Dies
Michael: Dies in a manner with strong parallels to crucifixion
September: Lives and takes on “I shall not hate” attitude
World: Saved, but not by reset

K, this actually hurt a little bit to write. The more i talk about it the more real it gets.
Anyway, reblog and add your predictions!
(but please mention if predictions are based on spoilers
This is a kiss that never ends

two people started doing it not knowing what it was
and they will keep on doing it forever just because

i love…LOVE that Olivia used the word erased to describe what would happen if they didn’t honour Etta’s memory. Because Peter knows the pain of having his son erased. He gave Etta a horribly outdated name to have a small symbol that Henry had existed. And really, other than documents and her possessions, there is no physical trace left of Etta since she evaporated herself in the warehouse (assuming September didn’t whisk in at the last minute and heal her). Peter’s face coupled with that beautiful swell in the music just makes this point hit home.

One of the (many) things that gets me about this scene is that this is the first time Peter’s really started to let himself grieve Etta. Both times they lost her, he threw himself into action. Hell-bent on either finding her or avenging her, he didn’t really take any time to process the actual loss (also, Josh Jackson mentioned in an interview that he didn’t think Peter had the emotional capability to process losing his daughter). And here he’s stopped a course of action where he was so close to vengeance, and just let the grief take him over to the point that he just collapses. And Olivia holds him up and we know that this time they will be capable of being what they need to be for each other.
