I loved this. I really think you captured Gabriel/Sylar's self destructive need to be special perfectly. The way he's never satisfied with what he has, he always wants more, and ends up usually losing so much because of that desire. The true tragedy of the character, at least from my point of view, anyways.

You had some wonderefully poetic lines in here but I think the one that stood out to me the most was this:
But it was too late for thoughts like that now. Spiders have to eat.

I don't know why, but that just says volumes to me about how Sylar functions.

And finally, win for using Lua lyrics for your cut text. That song does make me think of them for some reason, so I'm glad it's not just me.

Your comment is awesome! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and compliments.

I agree, I think his need for power over everything else is really sad and tragic. He's tried to be good, have friends, family, love...but the hunger always wins out.

Re: the song, I know right? I was listening to Dark Was The Night the other night and heard it again and was like "this is such a syelle kinda song." I changed the lyrics a little but the spirit is still there!

"and wondered idly who would even care.

He clenched his fist, the blue faded, and that was it; nothing more to tell."
Those lines really rocked my world. I think they capture my thoughts on him perfectly. Its tragic really, because ultimately what does matter, what does it amount to? he has no purpose.
great story.

Thank you so much! I've always thought his "I have to get all the powers ever" thing was just sad because, it's like he's working towards something with no end goal. When he's got them all, then what?

Thanks for reading <3 Glad you liked it.

I love toward the end where he realizes Elle was hopelessly in love with him and he kinda has a "oops" moment, but continues anyway.

Spiders have to eat, indeed.

The utter lonliness he feels afterward is perfect.

[disalae]

Lol, the ultimate oops moment.

Thanks so much for reading :D
