Hello, Marvel-muns!
So not too long ago, Olivia ran into "Alex," and -- thanks to her own recent experience with being brainwashed/manipulated into believing she was somebody else -- kind of went on high alert. She's not sure yet whether she's jumping at shadows or whether this is something that needs serious pursuing, but either way, she figures something hinky is going on.
There's canon precedent that DC Comics exists in Fringeverse; it wouldn't be a big stretch to assume Marvel Comics exists there as well. What I wanted to check with y'all is whether it'd be okay for the specific Winter Soldier arc to exist in Fringeverse, too -- and whether it'd be all right for Olivia to read it.
I know this is a pretty serious canon-puncturing, so as far as these things can be reassured, some reassurances:
- She isn't a comics buff by any stretch; the ONLY comics she would be reading are the fourteen-odd issues gathered in the Winter Soldier Ultimate Collection, which would leave her ignorant to anything else Marvel-related.
- It's highly likely she would tell only one or two other people, tops, what was going on with Bucky -- and before she did, I would confer with the other mun to make sure their conversation stayed secret/didn't result in drastic action on the part of the other character.
- She would not tell anybody in the Marvelverse.
- She would not take drastic action of her own that would lead to totally screwing up the Winter Soldier arc (or any other arcs that rely on the events of WS) for everybody involved.
Basically, this would just be an informational thing that reassures Olivia that no, she's not jumping at shadows due to her own recent trauma and yes, Bucky really has been brainwashed. And obviously there are other ways to accomplish this result, so if anybody says "no, don't have her read WS/don't have it exist at all in Fringeverse," I am completely okay with that.
That's it! Let me know what you think, and if I can clarify anything, please let me know. <3

It just felt disingenuous for me to comment with 'No, it's totally fine with me, go ahead!' when it weirds me out.
But it doesn't weird me out enough to want you to derail your plans or jump through hoops.
I just may end up asking for extra care if X and Olivia have any substantial interaction where X-men or something recognizable comes up. Recognition is A-OK, searching out further information via comics that have not already been read is discomfiting conceptually. In my brain somehow having read the comics and knowing stuff is fine, but seeking them out in order to know stuff is like one step too far. It's not really a strong point to stand on, I am aware, but I think that brain-twitch is where the weirdness is.
But, like I said, you are good to go!
