I have a slight obsession with young nuns, they’re like baby pigeons: you don’t see them!

Pigeons are immortal and don't have babies.:D

I researched nuns and novices a lot for this. I knew that Maya would need a new name but one that wasn't too different. I picked Lucia after Saint Lucy who had her eyes torn out or did it herself. I wanted an eye connection. And Lucy also means “light.”

oh D= that is disturbing but a good connection

He mixes lies with truth.

like the devil.

I loved the juxtaposition of their emotional reactions. Just as on the show he becomes solemn and depressed about being plain old Gabriel Gray again. Maya on the other hand experiences a flash of childlike wonder. On the show it’s completely unrestrained while here it’s like someone pulling a curtain aside for a moment. I like to think he’s left a little startled at her reaction, bemused. He’s just promoted himself to a nobody but she’s just seen a ray of sunshine.

I really love this part and how you describe it. It makes me smile because it is them at their most base selves, for me. I love everything that can come after this ... so much potential. To watch him marveling at her marveling at him ... le sigh

I too have the same thoughts about Maya being a virgin, but then I have personal canon with her and Gilberto. Gabriel is a virgin wish was hared for me to swallow at first, but he's such a big pretender.

Composed. Like music or a watch.

oh Gabriel ...

Catholic Guilt!! love Catholic guilt ... LOVE IT! KINK

All those pictures of Mary and Gabriel he used to collect...

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! same kink! *blush/wink*

Not are you all right? So nervous of rejection.
smh

Really? LOL. I guess I like that she’s comfortable enough to be blunt.

I'm dying over here!

What if she had said no? He’d start to cry and throw a tantrum. LOL oh god. that would have been awkward to say the least.

I like that even though she’s grown so close to him she’s stuck to her guns. While Gabriel is thinking “NOO, HER HAAAAIR D:”

I like the bit where his eyebrows go up when she motions of cutting her hair.

I wanted it to sound at once romantic but also there’s a hint of a threat there.
Well done because that's exactly what I got from it.

She kinda is like a kept woman in the end. She is cut off from his sins and he has no idea about hers and so she is perfect to him. She feel for him which can't make him all back. So he has that. He can't be all bad if someone like her could fall for him. But that also leaves an opening for him if he figures he wants to turn on her later ... How could she fall for him, something is wrong with her obviously. Double edge.

I kinda like shat she's hidden away like that. She's a secret. And his watch is there too.

Tammy you did a great job on this story. I love the ending. Love it!

Thanks! I love meaningful names.

That's a lovely way to put it.

I too have the same thoughts about Maya being a virgin, but then I have personal canon with her and Gilberto. Gabriel is a virgin wish was hared for me to swallow at first, but he's such a big pretender.

Oooh, it puts a whole new spin on her jealousy!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! same kink! *blush/wink*

I love little prop detail on the show. He had so many postcards of it. He was obsessed.

She is cut off but it makes you wonder for how long. Would she still be there if he returned? Would she follow him/be forced to leave? Yeah I can see him justifying her/his actions if things go wrong.

Thank you! And thanks for asking and responding! :D

Thank yo for doing the commentary. I love it.

I think Maya might not be there when Sylar comes back. And then he'll wonder if she was even real.

=D

I had two ideas:

1) Florentina dies and Maya leaves for New York.

2) the Company squad that had been following Sylar finds Maya instead. Either she gets captured or runs. I also had this image where Sylar comes back and finds all these SWAT guys dead, crying black.

I'm chomping at the bit for those prospects. They are hella sexy.
