It's such a relief to find fic about these three that follows their canon dynamic (although Matt comes across as a tad bit more ill-intentioned than he does in the show, to me, but I think that's because this is from Mohinder's POV). It actually freaked me out a little, because I've been concerned for a long time that after the latest Sylar debacle, Matt will take Molly from Mohinder for her own safety. Mohinder isn't a US citizen, so he wouldn't be able to stop him, and since he'd also acknowledge the danger and he's the self-sacrificing sort anyway, he wouldn't try, and it would shatter him. I'm really anxious about this happening in canon. *bites fingernails* Fantastic fic.

Exactly. That's the problem with doing something really different: you feel like you should write a page of explanation of what you were thinking as notes at the beginning of the fic. This is completely colored by the fact that it's from Mohinder's P.O.V., and we know he has a temper and that he jumps to conclusions ( ... )

It's always so nice to get such a detailed comment about your thought process in writing.

This is completely colored by the fact that it's from Mohinder's P.O.V., and we know he has a temper and that he jumps to conclusions.

Oh man, I am so far gone on Mohinder, hearing stuff like "he has a temper" and "he jumps to conclusions" just makes me love him like crazy. <3

So, there's a completely domestic crisis, but it stresses both Matt and Mohinder to the point that it breaks everything open and they just can't keep on. And because of his citizenship, Matt thinks he can trump Mohinder...but he underestimates Mohinder's drive to Do The Right Thing, and his anger.Matthinder: it's like war, really. And yeah, this just seems infinitely plausible to me. Somewhere down the line, this family unit is going to break up, and it's because Matt and Mohinder don't like each other, refuse to support each other, and if one is in a dangerous situation (my mind immediately goes, of course, to a Mylar team-up), the other's reaction will be to take Molly ( ... )

Because if there was something that caused Mohinder and Sylar to work together, I could see Mohinder extracting a promise from Sylar not to harm Molly, and buy it - I can completely see Sylar agreeing to it in canon for the simple reason that he's weighed the possibilities and realized that getting Mohinder's assistance for whatever he's doing is more beneficial than braaains. And that also could be the start, in canon, of turning him away from just collecting abilities, by getting him accostomed to pursuing a goal besides braaains ( ... )

I'd absolutely love to see this as well. Anything that has Sylar and Mohinder as grudging allies equals win in my book. Just imagining their interactions is giving me happy shivers, and on the plus side, there'd by typical Mylar domestic scenes like "Sylar brings Mohinder Chinese takeout". Also, if you're right and this causes Sylar to become a little less obsessed with brains? LOL subtext.

And Sylar then saying, quite dispassionately, "He's dead. He cannot be saved. Why should we let his ability die with him? If I take it, I can use it in this fight, and Peter can get it from me and use it as well." I'd just like to see Mohinder wrestle with that dilemma, ( ... )
