Oh, this is lovely! The image of Olivia in that blackened room surrounded by the white really is one of the most iconic images of Fringe. And it's honestly my hope that she burns herself out of that white room Walternate has put her in. Two Walters, two similar situations -- but she's not a scared little girl anymore.
And now she has Peter. I love how she sent him messages in her dreams, communicated the need for a doorstop. I'm really in love with the idea that she opens the door and he helps keep it open because it's very in tune with what I feel their individual abilities must be and it shows just how strong they are individually and together and how two children from different universes can bridge the gap between those universes.
I really like the style and tone of this too. It was a bit confusing at first to follow, but clearer as I went on and I felt like Peter who could see the signs but not yet understand them. I also liked your characterization of Altlivia, the subtle but significant ways in which she differed from Olivia that Peter picked up on (particularly the way she came to attention at Walter's words and how her eyes glossed over Astrid).

Lovely work!
