This is before.

She dreams of him.

He's all hard edges and soft words when he presses her against her apartment door. He's close, but not quite there, lips just out of contact, not close enough to kiss.

Olivia reaches out, her fingers twisting in his hair, pulling him closer. Yet still, he is impossibly far away, only his hips and hands making the contact she needs from him.

"Come on, Charlie," she encourages, pressing herself into him.

"You're gonna miss me when I'm gone, Liv," his words come out a gruff whisper against her lips, all his words come out a gruff whisper.

She always wakes at this point, unsatisfied, embarrassed, her breath uneven, almost choking.

-

This is after.

(After she buries Charlie.)

When he visits her in her dreams now, it is nearly the same.

But his words, those rough hushed tones, are different. "This isn't the end, Liv," he tells her this time.

This time, she doesn't wake up.

This was fantastic. Gave me some chills and makes me miss our Charlie.

This is so good, hot and sad and just a little bit eerie. It made me miss Charlie even more than normal. Wonderful job!

Thanks so much, hon. I never would have expected to miss him as much as I do.

God, I love you so much for this. Beautiful imagery, and in so little words. I love this pairing so much, and your fic just made my night. :)

This is so sad and wonderful at the same time :( I miss the character so much. I was wishing so hard throughout the last episode that they'd show the alternate-universe's Charlie.

Aw thank you! I'm so happy about your Olivia love! This last ep kinda broke my heart for her a little more.

This was my first try so I'm pleased it came out well!

Don't know why I didn't see this sooner, but what a nice piece to stumble across on this Sunday morning. I miss Charlie!

Aw, well I'm glad you found it! I miss Charlie too. Very much so. I kinda hope that the Charlie from the other side makes an appearance eventually. Maybe it's wishful thinking.
