Dude, you made cute, fluffy Hiro about to shoot a pregnant chick. That is fucking awesome in a dark, twisted way. The fic is dark and twisty as a whole with the screwed future no matter what. Part of me feels bad that I get so much enjoyment out of these character's misery. But who doesn't love good angst every now and then?

There's something nice about living vicariously through others' misery, isn't there? And we both know how much I love to abuse my favourite characters.

Oh, dude! You went to the bad place via icon form!

Yes, yes. There is. I do find it somewhat weird though how we can love these characters but still make them go through hell. I guess it's while fluff can be nice and all, it's the angst where a lot of the really good and interesting storytelling comes from.

Heh, I went to the bad place while at the same time killing my Photoshop. I've tried to open it at least six times since finishing the icon and it crashes every single time. :D (The icon keywords are 'Heroes: one reservation in hell'.)

Yeah, and I guess it's like how pretty much every movie ever has some kind of tragedy or conflict in it, even if it's a silly one. I don't think we humans are built to appreciate others' happiness. Especially guys, I love emotionally abusing guys in fiction.

BWAH! By supporting incest, the world has conspired against you and punished you by killing your Photoshop. I hate to think what the world has planned for me. But, you know, I never thought I would support an incest ship. I thought all those Dean/Sam people were nutzo then BAM! Peter and Claire happen. Then I only sunk further and further and I can't escape. Not that I exactly want to at this point.

Tell me about it. Poor Peter is like the abused little puppy that you keep kicking but he keeps coming back for more. You should go write some Peter/Claire porn to make him feel better. :D

I thought the exact same thing, I thought it was creepy and icky... and then not just BAM! Peter and Claire but Heroes in general. I didn't even write porn until I got into this fandom.

I want to write Peter/Claire porn, I'm just... not inspired at all at the moment. I hoped I'd get Peter/Claire for my heroes_exchange secret Santa thing, but I didn't. :(

I pretty much ship anyone in any combo when it comes to Heroes. It's just so shippable. I have my favorites but seemingly random combinations don't phase me. I think the only ship that really squicks me out is HRG/Claire. I don't know what it says about me when I prefer Nathan/Claire over HRG/Claire.

Aww, that sucks. What did you get?

[boombangbing]

Yeah, HRG/Claire... Have you seen the latest episode?

I don't think I'm allowed to say what I got, at least not out in public. Not one of my favourite pairings, but it's my own fault for listing so many different ones.
