"If the choice was between you and her, I'm okay with it," Nathan says.

This is so perfectly Nathan!

This is really lovely, my dear, and it doesn't matter if it gets jossed by the next episode. I'm so glad you wrote it. You captured their voices beautifully.

It didn't get terribly jossed! Did you see? I kept shouting at krisdia that it was my convo they were having.

dude, I did the dance of omg zahra approval! when I got this comment. I'm so glad you liked it.

Also, your name came up this weekend when I was having brunch with some NYC fangirls including scribblinlenore. We were wondering if you'd seen Profit yet, because well, I'm fairly sure Jim Profit might be made for you.

LOL. linaerys just brought this up, and I was telling her that you'd mentioned it (you all are so sweet to think of my twisted needs). I told her:

Caro was mentioning this to me the other day and the fact of the matter is that I did try watching it last year, but the appalling clothing kind of made my eyes hurt (I thought this was done in the mid-late 90s!), and Adrian was lovely, but he's another example of people getting better looking as they get older. I kind of didn't even make it through the pilot.

It is possible that I was distracted though -- that happens a lot. It's hard to really hold my attention, so I am sure I will try it again, just for you lot, since you seem so certain it's up my alley.

Well honestly, Jim Profit, IMO, seems made for you Zahra. Though yes, the fashions are hideous. We were going through a fabric surplus at the time apparently and tailors were few. And also, bad bad CGI. Still, if you make a drinking game out of it, say a shot everytime they decide to "modem" something out, you could have a blast at it. ;)

Oh, boys! Their love - and worry - for each other is so palpable in this fic. And this line: "It's not your fault," Nathan says, able as always to hear the things Peter isn't saying really got to me. Oh, Petrellis!

Oh yay, honey, I'm so glad they worked for you. I think Nathan's just incredibly in tune with Peter, and would know that this would kill Peter in a way that Nathan would never worry about, not if it meant Peter stayed alive.

That was absolutely wonderful and excellent take on their reltionship.

barely_bean March 6 2007, 02:36:05 UTC

Thank you so much! I'm glad it worked for you.

This story say so much about the relationship between Peter and Nathan. I love how protective Nathan is. I say once again: Yay for you writing Heroes fic!

barely_bean March 6 2007, 02:36:56 UTC

Thank you so much for all the encouragement, sweetheart. *snugs*
