OMG OMG THIS FIC IS AMAAAAZIIIIING

Seriously, it has EVERYTHING I want. Adam being AWESOME, Mohinder being... Mohinder, a look into the background of the Company, and at the end EXTRA SYLAR AND MOLLY WITH MOLLY TELLING HIM TO CALL MOHINDER.

EEEEE IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY.

Err, OK, constructive compliments thing. I think you've really nailed Adam (DIRTY) and I really like your writing style. And I'm really, really eager to see where this goes.

So don't leave such a big gap between updates next time, k? :D

One last time: YOU'RE AWESOME AND THIS FIC IS AWESOME AND ILU.

I think you've really nailed Adam (DIRTY)
Hee! Thanks! :-) He's kind of hard to write, but it's actually easier from someone else's perspective. I know he's British, but I keep finding myself thinking of various scary French people as I write him... and Sark, of course.

I'm so glad you're enjoying all the different things this story is about. I have a few more story layers planned, but I think I'll sort of roll them out just one at a time (for example, last chapter set up the time travel and this chapter introduced the Sylar storyline). Hopefully this won't end up crashing under its own weight.

I'll try to get the next one up in less time, but starting with the next chapter, the plot becomes so insanely complicated that I have to make sure I've drafted a lot more of the series before I post. Thanks so much for being so excited.

Yay, you posted the chapter

The man is smart and it works well with the idea of him as an immortal who would know how to play these social games quite wellYeah, I do think this is the whole point of the Adam character. It was just a little hard to see because the only person he spoke to was Peter, who wasn't really living up to the mental sparring in season 2. I remember in that scene where Victoria shot him in the chest, he seemed almost more perturbed by his machinations not having gone right than by getting shot. I'm having fun writing this story, because Mohinder can be as smart as he's capable of being, and there's time to think because the crises don't depend on someone shooting someone. He's a much better mental match for Adam than anyone he got to interact with in season 2 was (except for maybe Victoria, but that's because they had a history

So I feel dumb for apparently not fully realizing that when Hiro jumped away last chapter - hello! - that means Mohinder's stuck in the freaking past!!! Seems like the realization is truly hitting Mohinder too, as he has to prepare for the worst, that maybe he's stuck for a while.

I liked the Adam/Victoria interaction (seems like she is totally infatuated with him and that she has some kind of memory/intuitive aptitude power).

Great job! Love this series!

[aurilly]

Yep! Marty McFly, meet Mohinder. I love that movie.

I'm glad you liked the Adam/Victoria stuff. I found the fact that they had taken the virus from Shanti to be the most ridiculous coincidence I'd ever heard of when they mentioned it in the show, so I tried to find a way for it to logically have happened. It wouldn't make sense for Adam to randomly know about this stuff and find her, so he needed the lady who ended up making the alternate strains. Right on about her being infatuated with him... he's very sexy... as for the power... well, we know she has one... ;-)

Thanks for reading!

OK, I'm really getting sucked into this now. I don't know where you're headed with this (I noticed that you said "Mohinder and Adam" rather than "Mohinder/Adam", which was where I thought you were going to go) but honestly, this just plain has a great gen fic plot. I find I'm not even thinking "Mylar" with the scene at the end; I just figure Sylar is protecting himself from the Company, and assume that if he discovers Mohinder is trapped in the past, he'll move heaven and earth to save him because Mohinder's been far too useful to let him go to waste back there

[aurilly]

From the beginning, I wanted to have this incorporate Mylar, but I needed to feel sure that I could make it work first. Once I decided yes, and started thinking of ideas of how to do it, I kind of felt less compelled about actual slash between Mohinder and Adam. It definitely still might happen, but I like the mind games much more.

Man, your musings about the Sylar stuff are spot on. I'm really really thrilled that you picked up on everything I was trying. That yes! it was Sylar listening to both parts of the telephone conversation. And also, Sylar's original plan was to deal with his own business, but of course he's going to be interested in Mohinder's mysterious disappearance. And yes, Kaito's wedding, and yes that the point of Adam's character is to be a subtle manipulator. Woo! A home run.

I don't know where you're headed with this
A lot of places all at once (which is possible, you know, with multiple timelines). It's kind of wonky. Hopefully it won't end up being too much. Thanks for the great comment!

Omg the end has me shaking in excitement for more!!!

The entire Mohinder/Adam interaction was so well written...I love the way you write Adam! Perfect!

It's so intriguing how Momo is stuck in the past...and Sylar is in the present with Molly...

LSKDFJ More please!!!

[aurilly]

I'm glad you enjoyed Mohinder/Adam. I'm so obsessed with the idea of them meeting in the show. I think it would be fascinating, and I'm glad it worked here. The next chapter's going to have more Sylar and Molly.

Thanks for reading!
