Reunion after (physical) trauma prompts

tws apply: grief/fear for someone’s life, mention of injuries, unconsciousness, hospitals, comas, mention of involuntary drugging. that’s the general vibe.

WORDS

“Theeeere you are. Hi. Welcome back.”

“Breathe. Hi, we found you, just breathe for me, okay?”

“This is going to hurt, but it will help you.”

“You’re safe. [Name], can you hear me? They’re here to help you, you need to let them help you.”

“I found them, they’re over here!”

“Does anyone have medical training?”

“N.. no, no, no, no, hey. [Name]? Hi, I’ve got you.”

“You can sleep, [name]. It’s over.”

“I’ll still be here when you wake up.”

“You were in an induced coma. Your body went through a lot.”

“I wasn’t –… Your doctors weren’t sure you’d wake up.”

“[Name]? Was that - did you squeeze my hand?”

“It’s okay. It’s meant to be there, it’s helping you breathe.”

“Can you hear me?”

“You.. you were so close to dying. I was scared.”

ACTIONS

[ GATHER ] for sender to gather receiver’s (unconscious) body into their arms, in the style of no no no not them.

[ STARING ] for sender to find receiver sitting alone staring at a wall, covered in blood, and to touch their arm.

[ WAITING ] for sender to be waiting at receiver’s hospital bedside when receiver finally comes out of a coma, or wakes from surgery.

[ STEADY ] for sender to catch or steady receiver when receiver tries to stand up too early or to push their body past what it’s ready for

[ TEARS ]  for receiver to find tears on sender’s face, when they’re finally reunited (either immediately after the trauma, or waking up in a hospital), because sender thought receiver was dead or dying

[ GRIEF ]  for receiver to wake up just as sender is saying goodbye, because the doctors told them to. feel free to specify what they might be saying. do not judge me, this is going in the meme

[ LETTER ] for sender to find a last letter, video, text, etc that receiver made for them, thinking they wouldn’t make it out of the situation alive. Obviously receiver does make it out alive, but the letter/video still exists (and receiver will detail what’s in it).

[ FIGHT ] for receiving muse to not recognize sender or medical staff trying to help them, due to being drugged or otherwise disoriented – so they fight.

I still think that this is deeply irresponsible, and believe me, I would know.

↳ FRINGE (2008-2013) | S01E01

[multivherse]

          silence is a cage— a wall— a lock and key,     the space between thought and words, plan and action. olivia has always liked the quiet, even if she knows not many people do. there’s something about the way the air feels when it’s still, when there’s nothing but her and the time waning by to keep her company.

          but here, in the interrogation room, empty save for the fuse snuffed within it, the silence is not a solace— it’s a shield, barring the metaphorical bullet from the brain. it doesn’t comfort her like she thinks it should. ( not many things that comfort her anymore. )

          ❝ neat trick. ❞     olivia quips as she saunters past the door. she feels the words more than she can hear them, the hum of her headphones filling in the gaps. they’d distanced themselves from the other’s voice with a cheap trick walter’d cooked up, radio frequencies breaking up the path she’s marked from mouth to ear. it makes liv brave in her bitterness; she tosses the evidence folder across the table with a flick of her wrist, one hand in her pocket, the other bracing her weight.     ❝ the whole ‘throwing your voice’ thing? must be fun at parties. ❞

          they wouldn’t have found her if not for the anonymous tip. the cases the fringe division came across were often unsolvable by design, solvable by human error. this one, however, had proven to be one of their biggest challenges yet. they’d identified at least two other victims in similar fashion: talking one moment and gone the next, no warning, little reaction, their skulls flying like shrapnel through an unsuspecting room. walter had called it exciting when he’d first heard the news. he delighted in the strangeness of it, the facts and figures he picked from the bones of every mystery. peter had suggested a virus, astrid some sort of tech; it wasn’t until broyles had called that they’d confirmed what liv suspected all along: this horror was a man-made thing— another weapon built by hands built by god building a door to what they were never meant to grasp.

          she takes no satisfaction in being right.

          olivia slides into the chair across @astremourante​, peeling the folder apart with purpose, the photos slapped in front of her accompanying her gaze. this is the part where the victims’ faces peer up at them, their bodies bent, cold and glazed at the eyes— but the woman had carved that opportunity out of the photos herself, leaving holes where the head should be. olivia’s not expecting remorse. deciphering the other’s ability would have to come second to the reason for it, especially with a target as big as the lead scientist at massive dynamic. call it grace, then, for that unexpected tip— for the chance to trap her before she’d even bared her teeth to bite. but liv had her own doubts about that good samaritan. there is such a thing as knowing too much, and whoever’d spilled that secret certainly did. maybe the woman knew who it was. maybe she didn’t. maybe, if coaxed from the corner she’d found herself in, they could stop something like this from happening again, stop something— anything— chip at the anxiety that liv presses to her breast when the weight of it all bogs her down. the selfishness of that is not lost on her, even if the selflessness of it is. what she knows and doesn’t know and what fills the time between forces her forward even here, even now, even always and always and always. so she balls her fist in her lap away from the other woman’s view, her eyes unwavering, her jaw set so she can’t stray from what she’s so carefully hidden.

          only one way to find out.

          ❝ vincent moore, ❞     olivia starts; her voice sounds like a cd skipping from the next room, feedback crackling beneath it. her finger glides from one picture to the next, death to death to failed attempt,     ❝ jane halloway, richard sinclair— i mean, who are these people to you? vendetta? marks? some sort of… sick game? ❞

Night.

[multivherse]

          i don’t recognize my reflection like i used to.

          the mirage of me has always been difficult to grasp. i touch my cheek, she touches hers; i say my name, olivia, olivia, she mouths it back, chapped lips, calloused hands, the crease in my brow deepening each day.

          maybe it’s something we were never meant to understand. mankind first recognized itself in water, the murky mirror cupped from hand to mouth. but glass is different, clear. a portal to something— to someone— forever in reach but unattainable all the same.

          i huff a chuckle through my nose at a joke that isn’t funny. there’s something i recognize, at least: fragments and pieces scattered from one universe to another of me, of peter, of all we know. a part of me wishes i didn’t; another is glad i do. neither thought is comforting.

          the knock of wood against tile breaks me from my stupor, the door swinging open so the warmth of the bar drifts in. my hand is clammy against the bathroom sink; i sniff, shaking out my palm before running it under the faucet, pressing my cool fingertips to my neck with a shifted smile towards the other. i try to ignore my reflection turning from the corner of my eye.

          ❝ sorry, i-i’m fine, it’s just— it’s a little hot out there, don’t y’ think? ❞     a laugh more resembling a warble slips by; it’s one they’ll recognize if i’m not careful. i stifle it back with a clear of my throat, chin dipping down, my arms folding into one another as i shift on a hip.    ❝ i just needed a second to… clear my head, come down from everything. ❞

open.

you were always the strongest.      an independent, highly selective and incredibly low-activity portrayal of olivia dunham from fox’s fringe, exploring self-discovery, self-resurrection, and the known unknown. 18+ and mutuals only. dissected by rory.     #multivherse.
