Nice write - I really enjoyed this. I've read quite a few Heroes/TW cross-overs, but this is the first one that's really caught my interest.

If it just so happened that he had a recurring attraction to men who wore glasses and carried palpable boatloads of guilt,

This line was just perfect... it made me smile in an "Ouch!" kind of way.

“I had a partner once,” Noah replied.

OK, at this point I was itching for him to have a picture of Claude somewhere somehow (maybe in a file or something), just to see how badly seeing him would freak Jack out...

But I'm a *bad* person, and so this is only to be expected...

It would have been awesome for Jack to "see" Noah's partner, but that would have taken things in a totally different direction. Maybe another day, another fic.

The glasses/guilt thing came to me late in the writing and I definitely thank the muse for it. I'd love to revisit this pairing at some point in the future. They make me really happy together.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

OMG you actually wrote this. And I, for one, am very happy you did *g*. Dom!Noah is amazingly hot, as is Jack (mostly) shutting up and going with it. I liked the quip about the hot or cold shower, too. Also the glance over Claire's head, which works on several levels XD

Psst - I think this is a beta comment? "You're verging dangerously close to 'pain turned to pleasure', if more eloquent)"

EEP! Thanks for the catch. Those all-day writing sessions, followed by beta, followed by posting to meet a self-imposed dead-line tend to lead to thos e snafus.

Glad you liked the fic. These two were unbelievably fun and HOT to write together, especially once I settled on Dom!Noah.

Oh, I love that :) Very nice indeed, can hear them perfectly.

[karaokegal]

WHEW! (And so much love for your Icon!)

I can so their individual issues playing out together. Noah was a little tricky for me to write because I'm not quite as immersed in the Fandom, but he's my favorite character on the show and I have residual Steven Carrington love so I think some of that crept in too.

And so much love for your Icon!

It's lovely, isn't it? By icon-mistress duskwillow :) I named it "Claude ex-Nine", too ;)

I didn't know what to make of Noah in the the show, initially. Then it became obvious that he just loves his little girl A LOT.

I must admit it sounded like an odd pairing to me, but having read it, yup, it works so well :)

[karaokegal]

YAY! Odd pairings FTW! Glad you liked.

Oh awesome. Love the Jack voice.

THANK YOU! I wasn't sure my Jack!voice was working as well as I wanted it to, so your comment makes me very happy.
