Found a meme introduced on peterandclaude and decided to do it for the Mylar pairing. Here are the rules, and the final result.

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like ( Read more... )

This is a very cool concept and I like how each drabble connects to the next but is also its own distinct entity. I like the jump around in timeline, past and future represent the present at different times...how much changes, how much stays the same. This constant reminder of them as one sphere and then the outside world as this other one...Sylar as his own creation and Mohinder with his other family. Something I really dig about drabbles is how much can be conveyed in such a limited space (or in this case set time limit).

Thanks so much for the lovely review! You hit on a lot of the things that I tend to focus on with Mylar. I'm glad the concept worked for you, particularly in the sense that they were both connected and related at the same time.

It was interesting trying this drabbles thing; it really forces you to get straight to the point. Normally I just let myself go on, so I guess it was a helpful exercise. ;) Thanks again!

Oh wow...love this concept!

I don't actually know any of the songs you ended up using (though I know a couple of the artists) but I had a definite idea of what the songs were like by the way you wrote that drabble...

I love the relationship you've established in many of these. I really think you've gotten their characters down quite well, especially Sylar's (particularly the church scene)...

I can't really pick a favorite, cuz these are all so good!

cheers

Thank you! I was happy with a lot of the songs that came up on shuffle; they ended up fitting really well. :)

I'm really glad you liked the characterization of Sylar. I love writing him!

I really appreciate your comment! Glad to hear you enjoyed the fic!

Wow, that's a really cool (and hard!) challenge. I quite enjoyed reading all of these, they were great.

The only song I know is the Paramore song, so that story in particular really hit me in the gut.

I'm glad to hear they worked well for you! Yeah, it's a tough challenge, but it's also really liberating at the same time. :)

Thanks for reading!

Oh wow!

I was picking the numbers of my favorites as I went and then at the end I realized...I had picked all of them XD!!!

This idea is so cool!! I'm tempted to try it! Can I yoink it from you?

Okay I need to pick one...the ones that stood out most to me were 3,4,7, and 8!

I doubt mine will be this good, I LOVED these!!!

Thank you!! I really enjoyed doing this meme, it was great fun.

Of course you can steal it- in fact, I think you already did. ;) (Comment dated April 22, I respond July 27...yay?) I read yours too (several months ago) and they were good as well. It's a really good challenge, writing-wise.

I think you're the only one who's mentioned #8 so far! Glad to hear you liked that one. Thanks again!

Individual ones really stood out to me, though this is great on the whole. ^_^

3 was incredible. I could just SEE it and it had such a great characterization aspect, you really got Sylar down.

5 just gave me chills. That was such a great effect at the end. That one line Sylar has is perfect.

7 made me smile so much. I really really love that one. It's pretty much the perfect combination of that snippy attitude and his love. ugh, wonderful.

and i love love love the idea of them laying on a car on the road trip. I imagine they actually did something quite similar too. Again, just wonderful.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.

#3 is my favorite too, so I'm pleased you singled that one out. ;) The song was one of my favorites at the time, but it seemed like a challenging one for Sylar. I tried especially hard with that one.

I go back and forth between thinking the last line of #5 is completely off and thinking it's perfect. I'm very glad it worked for you.

#7- warm fuzzies, yeah? It's always good when it makes me smile as well. ;)

Again, thanks so much for the comment! And sorry it took me so long to respond to it. If I don't answer emails and lj notifications right away, they have a tendency to get lost in my inbox!
