It's not that I didn't like it, I think it was a great twist with the baby at the end. (Although I was confused as to why he offered Mohinder the condoms. Was it a Russian roulette kind of thing? If he uses them then Sylar just gets sex and if he doesn't then Sylar's having a baby? I'd be interested to hear what Sylar's reasoning behind that was. It's almost like he's setting up another reason to make Mohinder feel guilty - if Mohinder had kepy his wits about him and used the condoms there would be no baby 9 months later.) And the power absorption plus immunity thing was an unexpected take on mpreg. Kind of like Sylar is creating his minion army (of one so far but I can envision him with legions! XD). I'll be interested to see where you take it in the sequel.

I don't want to start an argument, I just want to explain why blackmail sex IS rape. I know in this fic Mohinder & Sylar had a past relationship and on some level Mohinder still finds Sylar physically attractive but that's irrelevent because in this instance he's being coerced into having sex. The options Sylar gives him are: fuck me or Matt and Molly die (or at the very least he leads Mohinder to believe that Matt and Molly will be murdered if Mohinder doesn't have sex with him). Even though Mohinder therefore chooses to have sex with him to save their lives, it can't be considered consent because it's given under duress. Does that make sense? Put yourself in Mohinder's shoes. Surely if someone said to you have sex with me or I'll kill your family, you'd consider that rape? Even if you weren't held down and forced?

I'm sorry if you thought the post in my journal was about this fic in particular, it honestly wasn't. It was just talking about a general trend that I'm starting to find a bit disturbing. I didn't mean to make you feel personally attacked.

Again, thank you for writing this. It really is very thoughtful of you and I do appreciate it!

Yep the perdy is very right *nods* unfortunately so few people are properly educated about sexual assault.
But I with the authority that I feel I have from being raised by a executive director of a sexual assault crisis center, do prounounce the extreme rightness of perdiccas! :D
