“I started on it when I first brought you here.” Sylar ran his fingers lightly over the watch and then shut the box with a surprisingly loud snap. “It took a while to get it just right, but I think it was worth the effort.”

Hmm, talking about the watch or Mohinder? XD

Yay for updates! This is fabulous, there's something really uncomfortably weird about Sylar's little world with its Stepford style houses..

[seraphtrevs]

Thank you!

Hmm, talking about the watch or Mohinder?

Hee, yes. :x

I love that I am terrible at keeping track of time, so every time you post a new part I'm like, "OMG. It's Last Man day again? Spectacular!"

This, this was... *sigh* You are killing me with Sylar, in the best possible way. “But…this is the best way. They’ll have to see that.” I love his determination, how after everything he actually has learned from Mohinder, there's still that disbelief that anyone would be crazy enough not to follow his carefully laid out plans. For all that he's changed, he still needs everything in its place. I love that Mohinder still hasn't entirely given in, even now, but that he realizes that part of the reason has more to do with his own character flaw than with Sylar's.

The imagery in this chapter was so gorgeous. Not just the Sylar description (request for picspam explained? ;]), but all the light and the colors and lovely little bits like this: The gold watch was lying a few feet in front of him; the glare from the sun shining off of it was so bright that he had to shut his eyes.And for the squee: SYLAR

Yes, exactly. Poor Sylar - I mean, he IS trying, but he's still this crazy control freak.

And for the squee: SYLAR MADE HIM A WATCH. Oh my gosh, I am really not the squishy romantic type, but if I remember correctly the whole What time is it thing is what got me hooked on this fic in the first place, and, oh. So much love.

So glad you liked that - I'm not really a squishy romantic type either, and I was all "...is this too sappy?" And also, sometimes I wonder if I'm taking the ~SYMBOLISM~ a leeeeetle too far, so yay, glad you like. :D

My love for this fic grows with each and every post. Thank you so much for starting my weekend off with such wonderfulness. God, I have such a kink for vulnerable Sylar and you do such a great job with him - he wants Mohinder's approval so much - not only to have their relationship validated but for what he is planning/ what he wants to do. To see him need Mohinder like that is fantastic. I really love where this is going and I'm very curious to see how their relationship changes once new people are introduced into the equation.

LOVE! Your Mohinder characterization so much and your dialog is as perfect as ever. Never stop being awesome. ^_^

I'm really more in love with this story than I could possibly say. This was gorgeous.

Thank you so much - I'm so glad you liked it! This chapter gave me so many freaking problems, you have no idea.

I like vulnerable!Sylar too - I just like the idea of a character who's enormously powerful in one way also having some major vulnerable spot in another area, which I then like to poke at. XD

[nope_de_plume]

Oh man. Oh man. I love Sylars confusion over the thought people might not agree with him <3

[seraphtrevs]

Hee, thank you! Poor Sylar - he's just so clueless sometimes.

[seraphtrevs]

Ahahaha, good - I debated posting because I was afraid there'd be something glaringly wrong, and then it would be terrible and I would be like "IF ONLY I HAD WAITED. D:" So, yay!
