tellshannon815Have you ever found yourself regretting any action you've taken in a fic?
This is one I've found myself thinking about while trying to finish my "old favourites" entry for lands_of_magic - I'm doing Fringe, and ever since the possible future in the season 3 finale, I've been really into the idea of what a future Over There could have been like if it had gone the other way, if it had been Over There that survived and Our Walter who crossed over at the end only to get stuck in the alternate universe as the prime universe was destroyed. AO3 is being annoying at the moment, so this may not be easy to view, but what I have come up with to date for that is here: Henry Dunham!verse
As I write more in that verse, there's a part of me that wishes I hadn't made the decision to let alt!Charlie get trapped in amber. I started this verse with a scenario building up where lots of people have reason to hate Walternate, and Our Walter ends up saving him, and Charlie being ambered was a part of that. And the thing is, if that universe had ever made it to air, I don't think the writers would have shied away from making that decision; they did kill off other main characters, after all. But while I've been writing Charlie for these drabbles, and revisiting the ambering storyline in the Henry Dunham!verse, I do find myself regretting having done it.
