Author's Note:

This is a bit of comedic fanfiction (mixed with the standard dramatic angst of Scandal) is in response to the travesty of the 5x09 winter finale.

In reality, I don't know how many us Olitz fans will no longer watch Scandal (unless there is a drastic turn of events for Olivia and Fitz) and whether there are enough of us boycotting the show to cause concern for ABC network and Shondaland Production. Nonetheless, it would be great to imagine that us fans yielded that kind of power to change the course of the Olitz story line.

The fanfiction involves both Scandal fictional characters and the cast (and possibly the crew) of the show.

Scandal fictional characters are the property of Shondaland Production. If the characters were owned by me –

Olitz would be married by now and be a kick-ass Presidential couple with cute Olitz babies/kids.

Olivia would be charting a new course for the role of First Lady while being DC's top fixer.

Vermont would be Olitz's holiday and summer getaway while Fitz is still in office and when he leaves.

Cyrus would have worked to support the Olitz relationship rather trying to undermine it.

Mellie would have divorced Fitz long ago so she could embark on her political career to achieve her personal fulfillment and would occasionally team up with Olivia to make the world a better place.
