We consider the asymptotic behavior of the KPZ fixed point conditioned on as L goes to infinity. The main result is a conditional limit theorem for the fluctuations of in the region near the line segment connecting the origin and for both step and flat initial conditions. The limit random field can be represented as a functional of two independent Brownian bridges, and in addition the limit random field depends also on the initial law of the KPZ fixed point. In particular for temporal fluctuations, the limit process indexed by line segment between and , when the KPZ is with step initial condition, has the law of the minimum of two independent Brownian bridges; and when the KPZ is with flat initial condition the limit process has the law of the minimum of two independent Brownian bridges, each in addition perturbed by a common Gaussian random variable. For spatial-temporal fluctuations, the conditional limit theorem sheds light on the asymptotic behaviors of the point-to-point geodesic of the directed landscape conditioned on its length and as the length tends to infinity.
