Title: Terminus
Fandom: Fringe
Author: HalfshellVenus
Characters: S4 Walter (Gen, Drabble)
Rating: PG
Summary (Season 4 pre-series): Tragedy lies in the space between science and magic.
Author's Notes: For the writerverse prompt of "Test Tube."

x-x-x-x-x

Walter was once considered dangerous. He could shift time, invent his own physics, even alter the boundaries of reality. One sleepless night too many might result in transforming the known universe (and who was to say that it hadn't already happened?)

But when Walter's son died (a helpless little boy like any other), part of Walter died, too. His insane ambitions were tethered by the knowledge that all of his science couldn't save his son. Peter was gone, despite a father who should have been able to bend the stars.

Walter had failed.

There were no dreams left to chase.

Title: Singularity
Fandom: Fringe
Author: HalfshellVenus
Characters: Walter, Peter (Gen, Drabble)
Rating: PG
Summary (S3 finale): It was the most desperate choice of all.
Author's Notes: For writerverse, and the prompt of "It Had To Be Done."

x-x-x-x-x

Of all the words that could have admitted the truth of Peter's sacrifice, the hardest was Goodbye.

There was hope, Walter thought, that Peter might survive—that they all might continue forward in isolated parallels of the universes now bleeding together so freely and nearly cancelling each other out. But God, the risk: losing Peter to save both worlds was an equation any scientist could measure and an agony no father could forget.

Peter chose, instead. He was so brave, so certain.

He put humanity first. Walter would have destroyed it again in a heartbeat, just to bring Peter back.

( What's the Hell's in this thing, Walter?Collapse )

15 word Fic meme:

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or fewer for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1 (or if you have, then determine character order randomly)

I picked
1. Dean (Supernatural)
2. Tony Stark (Iron Man)
3. Lincoln Burrows (Prison Break)
4. John McClane (Die Hard)
5. Sam Winchester (Supernatural)
6. Sam Axe (Burn Notice)
7. Fin Tutuola (Law & Order: SVU)
8. Gregory House (House, M.D.)
9. Cameron (Terminator: SCC)
10. Walter Bishop (Fringe)

And then as soon as I saw the prompts, the whole 15-word thing went out the window. Because—crossovers! Improbably pairings and circumstances! I need way more than 15 words to set that kind of thing up. Took me a week to finish them all, but some of them worked out far better than I would have expected. Writing Walter Bishop's POV alone was worth doing the meme. Here we go:
