I was totally more than happy to hand hold. Besides, I felt special being the only one who got to read this in it's completion ahead of time, ngl.

Like I've told you before, I really like how this story turned out. You developed it really well and managed to keep the shape shifting stuff straight without being too confusing, so major kudos there.

I also really liked the ending and how it ended up turning out. Peter and Elle have both been screwed over so much in their lives, it's nice to see them get a happy ending for oonce.

Good job *high fives* WE DID IT.

[acinogan]

thanks again for doing all the holding of my hands :)

i'm glad to hear you say that the shape-shifting stuff wasn't too confusing. all the "he"s and "the other man"s, oy.

yay, you liked the ending! they really do deserve at least better than they got in canon :)

*high fives* WE TOTALLY DID. GO US.

I am so beyond happy that a prompt from me could inspire a fic this awesome! I really love how you developed the story and it kept my attention all the way through.

I laughed so much at the scene with Peter, Matt, and Mohinder and Matt being all "can't we just be normal and talk sports?!"

Love the evolution and progression of the characters throughout the story and it's nice to see Peter and Elle get their own happy ending. :D

[acinogan]

so you are okay that i blame credit you for this here plot bunny? :) but srsly, i'm glad you liked it! and yay for keeping your attention through a LOT of words.

that narration in "an invisible thread" was just begging to be made into drunk philosophical blathering. BEGGING.

thanks! :)

[faded_facade]

Haha, I happily take the blame credit for this plot bunny. I mean, you expanded so much on the prompt that it was awesome.

It's really funny though because I read this right after watching Psych so I had to like concentrate doubly hard on trying to imagine Mohinder's accent and his philosophical wonderings rather than Sendhil's regular voice like when he guest starred, lol.

[acinogan]

what can i say? it really did take on a life of its own from like 10 words of prompt. hopefully that says good things about my brain and not crazy things :)

i know, the difference (and the eyebrow) was pretty distracting to me, too, but in the opposite way, cause i already read my fic :) i was all "wow, momo's a playa now..."

AND I FINALLY READ THE ENDING XD

This fic is SO AMAZING & EPIC , I loved every part of it & it made my Pelle Shippy Heart dances up & down

The ending was so sweet , Peter wanting to do anything she wants and she asking him for french toast ^__^

[acinogan]

YOU FINALLY DID. there was an inferior version up until a couple of days before i posted, so phew. we dodged that bullet :)

thanks! i'm glad you liked it so much! i had a serious resurgance of my pelle shippyness while i was plotting/writing this.

okay, so for real, if peter considered himself indebtted to me, i would be getting some french toast out of the bargain. i'm just saying. :p

[lemomina]

Only French toast ?! LOL :p :p

Btw , I'm wondering about the fic name , What does that mean ?! or even pronounced ?! >_

[acinogan]

french toast and *other* things too ;) you know, like a platinum necklace.

it's som-NAM-byoo-list and it means "sleepwalker" - mostly i just like that word but then i thought peter's situation was sort of like sleepwalking, like living someone else's life in kind of an unreal dream, and i liked it so i kept it.

[dragynflies]

This was made of so much win.

I was totally late to work this morning because I was reading this on my blackberry, but for some reason it wouldn't let me comment then.

Anyway, win. I love that Peter really fell for her, and love the symbolism of the necklace, and the ending was just beautiful. I just adore Peter/Elle and I love the shipshifting addition - canon but better, man.

SO AWESOME.

[acinogan]

hee hee, i am corrupting the american workforce with my fic! awesome :)

thanks! i'm glad you liked it :) peter/elle was my first major heroes ship, but i never wrote any fic in that vein for some reason, so i guess i needed to get it all out here. and the end gave me fits, so i'm glad you liked it.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Thank you for reminding me how much I really do love Peter/Elle. Your characterizations and the way they connect to one another and everything about this is just so, so wonderful. You have no idea how much I wish that this was canon--I'd love to see Peter go through changes and grow like this, and the only way I can see it happening is with a character like Elle.

"I've kissed Peter Petrelli before," she recalled playfully as they settled back onto the bed. "I don't remember it being quite this interesting."
"Well, I have double the memories that I did then," he reminded her as the last of their clothes hit the floor. "Kind of the opposite of amnesia."Everything about this is so awesome. You really captured the way these two talk to one another, and how she has the ability to make him be more playful ... LOVE IT. I mean, the shape-shifting and angst is all AWESOME, too ... but I'm so taken by how much you made this pairing work in a healthy way as well

i want to wrap your comment in a tiny box and carry it around with me all the time, such an awesome compliment :D and i might have an inkling of how much you wish this was canon, lol.

i am so glad you liked it so much - i really am proud :) so it means a lot to get comments like this, especially from you, who wrote a fave peter/elle fic of mine!

peter totes needs to grow and change. i think that's one of the things that irks me so much about the show sometimes, the way they put their characters through the same cycles and then they react the same ways and it's like nothing gets learned. so i guess my desire to fix peter came out in the fic :) and i only had one very tiny short dream in there :)
