Disclaimer: I only commented on like one of these, sorry fic writers. Consider the fact that I'm reccing your story to mean that I loved it to pieces.
Bennets: (other than Claire)
The Important One by emmademarais- Lyle, PG. Oh, this is good. I've mentioned my aggravation about the way the show dismisses Lyle (especially this season) and this definitely addresses that.
Family Ways by selenak- Claire, Peter, Bennets, Angela Petrelli, PG. Post-s1 finale. Aww, Peter.
Monsters by mirandabeth- Claire, Bennet, PG-13. A series of short scenes set throughout Claire's childhood and adolescence. Oh, good and hurt-y. Perfect characterization of Bennet.
Claire:
Face in the Crowd by saestina- Claire, PG. Oh god, poor Claire. The end made it bearable though. *pets them*
Family Ways by selenak- Claire, Peter, Bennets, Angela Petrelli, PG. Post-s1 finale. Aww, Peter.
Crash and Burn and Then Some by trollprincess- Nathan, Claire, PG. Oh, this is really nice. His interaction with Claire is pretty much my favorite thing about Nathan (hence my occasional shipping of Nathan/Claire) so this was perfect. Their dialogue is spot-on.
three families claire doesn't have and one she does by electricxtears- Claire, misc characters, G. Aww. Reccing this because the last one is so sweet and perfect. And I wouldn't say no to AU Mohinder/Claire incest. 0___o Just saying. ;)
(but i fear) i have so much to lose by ruinedlove- Claire, PG. Immediately post-s1 explosion. Oh, Claire. This broke my heart, especially the end.
Letters from the Desert by saestina- Nathan, Claire, PG. Nathan and Claire deal with Peter’s absence in their own ways. Spoilers for 201.
Matt/Mohinder and M3:
Start Me Over by out_there- Matt/Mohinder, PG. A year ago, this was precisely what Matt wanted with Janice: a kid of their own, a place of their own, a domestic routine of chores and TV and homework. That tells him everything.
The Road Home by tiptoe39- Matt/Mohinder, PG. Another one of the first kisses series. This one's really sweet and revolves around Matt and home and New Year's.
Give It Time by saathi1013- Matt/Mohinder, R. Oh, I love how this is Matthinder-centric, but still mentions what's going on with the other characters. Spoilers for Powerless.
before the dawn (i'll look after you) by electricxtears- Mohinder, Molly, G. Immediately post-Exploding Man.
It's What All the Post-Modern Villains Are Wearing by hackthis- Sylar/Mohinder, Matt/Mohinder, R. *squees* This Sylar is perfect and hilarious. My favorite one is ix because aww, Sylar. That's such a sweet thing to say. *cuddles* I feel that way about Chandra too.
Manifesting by kleenexcow- Matt/Mohinder, Mylar, R. Oh, this is dark and lovely. :D
Sticks and Stones by pomone- Matt/Mohinder, Molly, PG-13. Oh, so creepy and awesome. I love dark M3 fic. :D
Snow Day by shibbyfangirl- Matt/Mohinder, G. Hee, very very cute. :D
Rose Coloured Glasses by perpet_fic- M3, G. Molly's such a sweetie.
Pray For Us Now... by medie- M3, PG. Post-Powerless. I can definitely see this happening.
Cultural Fusion by kleenexcow- Matt/Mohinder, G. Aww, so cute.
Playback by selenak- Matt, Nathan, PG-13. So yeah, I pretty much love the Matt & Nathan interaction/relationship in season 2. selenak nails it perfectly and shows us some missing moments from the season.
Chocolaty Goodness by baehj2915- Matt/Mohinder, NC-17. Nutella finally gets the credit (and usage) it deserves.
What We Need by ilsalovesrick- Matt/Mohinder, Matt/Peter, Matt/Mohinder/Peter, PG-13. Hee. I like this idea. Though not the Nathan part. ;____;
Breathe by iamascavenger- Peter, Matt, Nathan, Mohinder. Omg, so depressing. Mostly in how I can see this happening. ;____;
30 First Kisses- Kiss #19 by tiptoe39- Matt/Mohinder, PG. Oh, this is perfect. Micah and Peter have awesome guest appearances too. I know it's unlikely, but I really hope they do something like this next season.
Interrogation Techniques by fox1013- Matt/Mohinder, Molly, PG. Hee, very cute. I can so picture them doing and saying all these things too, especially Mohinder. :D
Miscellaneous Characters & Ships: (excuse the random pic)
On giving your heart to the dragon by selenak- Hiro, Nathan, Kensei, G. Oh, Hiro.
Breathe by iamascavenger- Peter, Matt, Nathan, Mohinder. Omg, so depressing. Mostly in how I can see this happening. ;____;
Endangered Species by mandysbitch- Claire/Niki/Jessica, Nathan, NC-17. No spoilers for s2. As always, I'm a sucker for Nathan & Claire fics. :)
hate (lovelovelove) by electricxtears- Zach/Jackie, Zach/Claire, PG. Oh, I never thought of Zach/Jackie. Interesting.
Sentimental Value by andrastewhite- Bob, Elle, PG-13. Oh, creepy. Very much something that could have happened though. I do wish they would tell us more about Bob's ability on the show though.
Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair by hackthis- Candice, PG. Wow, this is a really good look at this minor character. I do have a continuity question about her though (not because of the story), which I'll try and remember and ask in a different post.
Five Facts Ando Learned In His Epic Quest to Save the World by sparky77- Ando, Hiro, Nathan, Peter, PG. Oh, Ando. Love the ending on this.
The Three Point Plan by toestastegood- Ando/Mohinder, PG. Another oh, Ando moment. *pets him*

Fight or Flight by tricias_flaunt- Mohinder/Bennet, PG-13. This is most definitely how the whole "taking down the Company" thing should have gone, writers. Perfect Monnet.
The Man Who Told Everything by hackthis- Peter, Hiro, Nathan, PG. See, this is the kind of Peter and Nathan fic I want to read. I've tried reading Petrellicest, but it just doesn't work for me. But Peter and Nathan and Hiro? Yes, please. Adorable and hilarious little fic. Kind of wish this had happened in the second half of season 1.
Ducks in the Bathtub by hackthis- Nathan, Peter, PG. Awwww Nathan, you big softie. *squishes this fic*
Life is a One Way Street, and If You Could Paint it, I'd Draw Myself Going in the Right Direction by hackthis- Peter, Nathan, PG. Another cute little brothers ficlet.
What's Love Got to Do With It? by hackthis- Peter/Nathan, Angela Petrelli, PG. The Angela perspective makes this really compelling.
Mylar:
Manifesting by kleenexcow- Matt/Mohinder, Mylar, R. Oh, this is dark and lovely. :D
Clash by toestastegood- Mylar, R. It's a harmless thing that Sylar holds in his hand, a ring of black leather, but Mohinder can't stop staring at it as if it's about to grow fangs and bite him. This shouldn't make me happy, but it really, really does.
It's What All the Post-Modern Villains Are Wearing by hackthis- Sylar/Mohinder, Matt/Mohinder, R. *squees* This Sylar is perfect and hilarious. My favorite one is ix because aww, Sylar. That's such a sweet thing to say. *cuddles* I feel that way about Chandra too.
Winning Bid by icalynn- Mylar, PG-13. Hee, cute idea for them. Mohinder's so smart. :D
Rope Burns by ladywilde80- Mylar, NC-17. Omg, this is so hot. *dies*

Unaware by trinaweena- Mylar, NC-17.
Timeline by Miss Selah- Mylar, T, 5YG Universe. Mohinder puts the pieces together.
Nathan:
Crash and Burn and Then Some by trollprincess- Nathan, Claire, PG. Oh, this is really nice. His interaction with Claire is pretty much my favorite thing about Nathan (hence my occasional shipping of Nathan/Claire) so this was perfect. Their dialogue is spot-on.
Brave New World by selenak- Sylar, Nathan, PG-13. 5YG Universe. Sylar is grateful. To everyone, really, but especially to Nathan and Peter Petrelli.
Letters from the Desert by saestina- Nathan, Claire, PG. Nathan and Claire deal with Peter’s absence in their own ways. Spoilers for 201.
On giving your heart to the dragon by selenak- Hiro, Nathan, Kensei, G. Oh, Hiro.
Backdrifts by usakeh_fics- Peter/Elle, PG-13. I've seen about a million Peter/Elle icons, but not that many fics. Interesting. I like this one probably the most of what I've read.
Partnership by toestastegood- Maya/Mohinder-ish, PG. Eeee, first Maya/Mohinder(-ish). :D
Endangered Species by mandysbitch- Claire/Niki/Jessica, Nathan, NC-17. No spoilers for s2. As always, I'm a sucker for Nathan & Claire fics. :)
Five Times Nathan Petrelli Crashed Down to Earth by yahtzee63- Nathan, PG. Non-s2 compliant. Oh, this is really nice. I especially like the second and the fourth.
Playback by selenak- Matt, Nathan, PG-13. So yeah, I pretty much love the Matt & Nathan interaction/relationship in season 2. selenak nails it perfectly and shows us some missing moments from the season.

Simone Deveaux:
The Worst Lies by selenak- Simone, Peter, Isaac, Charles Deveaux, PG-13. Oh, chilling Simone piece. The end is especially effective.
Sylar:
Brave New World by selenak- Sylar, Nathan, PG-13. 5YG Universe. Sylar is grateful. To everyone, really, but especially to Nathan and Peter Petrelli.
I kind of got lazy on the whole different categories for each character and ship idea, if you couldn't tell. Maybe next time? ;)
