Wow. This is stunning. Talk about Mohinder/Sylar in lyrical form. I love how you cover the events of Season One that we did not see -- Mohinder uncovering the sordid truth and then making the decision to try to take down Sylar himself. What works so well here is Mohinder's own disappointment and anger over the betrayal -- angry at falling for the serial killer's lies, not knowing who was in his midst the whole time, being used by him...disappointed at the unappetizing truth that he did feel a connection to this false man, that those conversations did mean something in some way, that he had felt a bond

Stunning? Beautiful? Really? Wow, thank you! ^_^

You know, I've been listening to this song over and over again for at least a month now, and the Mylar-y nature of this song only just hit me yesterday. Funny eh?

I think you really get the conflicted humanity of Mohinder across.
Yay!

Mmm... Mohinder really is a survivor, isn't he?

You have taken my breath away, no lie!

This was so incredible. The song is gorgeous, I love how you weaved it in. It is so perfect.

I don't even know what to say... I loved Mohinder's reaction to finding out the truth, his thoughts while he confronted Sylar... Man, this is really just gorgeous.

Love!

I'm really glad you enjoyed this so much.

Not As We is easily my favourite song right now... so lovely.

Wow that's so beautifull! I'm so glad you're writing again, because you are amazing! I loved it. and that is a really beautiful song.

[neshel]

I'm glad I'm writing again too. ^_^ Thank you!

I love those little trips into Mohinder's thought process in moments like this. The betrayal he is feeling is beautifully rendered here.

I'm with Eridanie, happy to see you writing again. :)

If there is some force for good in this world, surely it would want such a vile man to die. It’s his fate, his karma, but Mohinder wishes he weren’t the one to bring it about. I particularly love this line because I can see all that in the small moment before Mohinder pulls the trigger.

cheers!

Mohinder's brain is my favourite playground... apparently. Seeing as I keep going back there. ^_~

Thank you.

That song encapsulates Mohinder's post-Zane existance. I'd say his post-Chandra existance, except for implications of ick. He has no clue what he's doing, but damned if he won't do it anyway.

I adore this glimpse into his mind. It's so true, and so beautifully done.

That's very much how I see Mohinder. Stubborn and determined not matter how confused and in over his head he might be.

Thanks for the lovely comment!
