    Summary

    * Chapter 10 added on April 10th 2024 *
    ...

    An early season 2 P/O AU in which Peter and Olivia cross ‘that line’ a bit sooner than they do on the show. Goes (slightly) off canon after 2x05 Dream Logic. This is a slow burn, but with smooches. Follows most of season 2's storyline, although it starts deviating as their relationship changes.

    ...

    "Olivia only has herself to blame for nearly breaking in front of him yesterday, back in Seattle. Her grief had just…sneaked up on her, barely able to flee the room fast enough. Too little, too late. Peter had seen the cracks in her walls, which even now don’t feel all that sturdy.

    Peter being Peter, he’s come to make sure she wouldn’t get crushed underneath the rubble, were it to collapse on top of her.

    The least she can do is show him that she’s fine. Which she arguably could have done without letting him inside her home, but Olivia’s not infallible either.

    He’d brought her whiskey."
