Fringe, AltLivia/Lincoln, what's he doing in my world?

[tellshannon815.livejournal.com]

In the first few weeks, sometimes Olivia would look at the other universe’s Lincoln and want to ask what he was doing in her world, where her “own” Lincoln was. It was stupid; she knew exactly where her own Lincoln was, she’d been right there when that asshole shot him, and that the other Lincoln had chosen to stay there to help her team with the shapeshifters. But sometimes she would turn to him and want to reference some in-joke that she had had with her own Lincoln, probably with Charlie too, and then suddenly remember that he wouldn’t know what she was talking about because he hadn’t been around for it.

She couldn’t put her finger on exactly when he had stopped seeming out of place, when she’d stopped looking at this Lincoln and seeing the other, when she’d started having inside jokes with this Lincoln too, but the day when Lincoln said to her that he felt at home in this universe now, Olivia realised that it now felt to her like he belonged with her too.
