That's kinda like Polivia. They met as children but then forgot they met cause they blocked that part of their lives out due to other trauma going on in their respective lives. And then fate brought them back together as adults!! 😍💓 My loves truly!!! 😍💓

M&S and P&O?! I'm so glad I found you! Lol

HEY friend!! You have great taste in ships! Just seeing this as I've been on a Tumblr break for a bit. Currently watching Supernatural for the first time and completely loving the zillion XF references but the brother relationship is nothing like a good "will they/won't they" mad chemistry ship! And side note- that new Joshua Jackson show looks terrible, but damn, Peter is aging like fine wine. 😍

No show has ever done the memory loss trope in such an amazing way as "Fringe". The memory loss trope is a controversial thing. I'm sure it's been done many more times than I can even think of but when I think of that trope, I immediately think of "Chuck". The way that they screwed over the fans by having one of the romantic leads get amnesia and forget her then husband just episodes before the show ended. I just think of how mad my sister still is about 10 years later. I guess some people were fine with that plot twist but I even think the most positive person I've heard talk about it was mediocre on it at best.

I love how Fringe did it though. Fringe had Olivia forget Peter in season 4 which was a season before the show ended so they had plenty of time to flesh it out. The yearning that came out of that plot was some A+ television. First you have Peter who remembers Olivia and their relationship. At first he believes that she is Olivia and not an alternate version of his Olivia. Peter dreams about Olivia and yearns to be with her. Despite his belief that she is his Olivia, Peter eventually is forced to face the idea that she isn't. After all what else can you do when Olivia is over there saying "no, I'm not your Olivia", "I don't remember you", etc. He still yearns to be with Olivia but he starts to believe that he's in the wrong universe and he needs to get to his universe's Olivia. Then you have Olivia, which is a totally different situation. At first Olivia doesn't remember Peter because of the observers' erasing Peter from the universe but then slowly but surely Olivia starts to fall more and more in love with Peter. Which is such an interesting thing to do halfway through a show. Originally the idea of the Polivia relationship was that Peter fell first. Peter fell in love first and yearned for Olivia. The memory loss trope is such a good device to be able to switch the table and see how it is when Olivia falls first. Not that Peter doesn't love her but he's in a very confusing and conflicting position. He's made the mistake of believing a doppleganger was his Olivia so he's on high alert and trying to do the right thing. Olivia is in a confusing situation but then as she starts to regain her memories of Peter it becomes less and less conflicting.

The way that when Peter comes back we see many cases of Peter dreaming of Olivia and of being with her. These are all pure dreams and very domestic in nature. Like he dreams of waking up, kissing Olivia, and then eating breakfast with her. Or he dreams of them lying in a park on the grass together. These are dreams of a man who has been in a relationship with her for awhile and has fallen into this beautiful, domestic, almost married dynamic. And then you start to see Olivia have dreams of Peter as she falls in love but hers are clearly of someone falling in love for the first time (at least with Peter) and her dreams are sex dreams. It's amazing to see this juxtaposition. Both are equally amazing just in different ways. For Olivia, it's like falling in love all over again. She gets her memories back so it's one of those things where is simultaneously falling in love all over again but there's also a feeling like she's always been in love. This kind of feeling that she knows Peter so well and is meant to be with him. The yearning from both ends is chef's kiss. And then you've kinda got a forbidden love aspect to it. Walter and Lincoln are both pushing against Peter and Olivia for different reasons. Lincoln is jealous and has a crush on Olivia so he's a bit pissed off that Olivia is so focused on Peter. Walter has his own baggage when it comes to Peter. I also think he has better motives then Lincoln but there's still some bias based off of his baggage with Peter, I believe. Either way, regardless of their motives, both Walter and Lincoln are angry with Peter and accusing him of forcing his memories onto Olivia. Like somehow implanting his memories onto her. Walter keeps pushing Peter to stay away from Olivia. And there's the conflicting nature of it all with Peter. When Peter came back he looked her in the eyes and believed that she was the Olivia that he had been dating. He knows her that well. But he forces himself to push those feelings aside and tells himself that he's just seeing what he wants to see. So when Olivia goes to him and tells him that she loves him and remembers everything about their relationship, there's a part of Peter that forbidding himself from going there. Peter's attracted to her, after all she is the spitting image of his girlfriend, he loves her and deep down he believes it's her but he's had to push those feelings down for long enough that he's scared to believe it now.

Every time I watch season 4... I get chills because of how they executed the Polivia of it all 💕

Fringe 1X6 - Olivia and Peter - it's not a good time😄

[space-fool]

every person on this site has that first fictional kiss that permanently altered their brain chemistry.

for me, it’s in the alternate universe when Olivia tells Peter he belongs with her then they kiss and I guess alt-Charlie is lying unconscious at their feet the whole time
