Sorry for being a creeping creeper who leaves comments weeks after the fic was posted, but I only just got a chance to read this. I really enjoyed this, and I liked that Mohinder chose *not* to cure Sylar.

Some things that stuck out for me:
His voice was low and husky from disuse
I really liked this image. Even though you'd described the desolation and how alone Mohinder is, this was the line where that all hit home for me.

"No one's special anymore," Mohinder muttered. "Everyone's too busy dying."
I love bitter Mohinder. I love that Sylar still clings so desperately to a desire to be special, even on deaths door and Mohinder doesn't bother pandering to him.

"I couldn't imagine how I lived without them. Even now, I don't know what to do with myself every day, now that they're gone."

"Read a book," Mohinder suggested sarcastically. "I have a collection of cat stories I'd be glad to lend you, provided you leave me the hell alone."
Yeah, I lol'd. :D

Mohinder was only too glad to watch Sylar suffer. There was something vindicating in ( ... )

Total creepers are awesome. Sylar is a total creeper. Bob Bishop is a total creeper. I love total creepers. Does that make you feel better? :P

I was actually having a really hard time writing Mohinder in this, and you really nailed the reason why. I think there's more canon evidence that he's more saintly than spiteful, but for the sake of the story I had to bend him a little without breaking him. If it hadn't been for aurilly, I don't know how he would have come across. Someone a lot meaner, probably.

On an unrelated note, I would totally love it if someone wrote a series of Sylar cat stories.
