WTF MOHINDER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I literally screamed at my computer!!!!

You've made me completely feel Mohinder's slowly fading sanity, and his utter desire to fix things but...BUT....GO BACK INSIDE WITH THE SEXY MAN THAT KEEPS YOU SAFE RIGHT. NOW.

*FLAILS*

What an incredibly intense chapter

Wow. I'm not sure why I've only just stumbled across this fic but I had to go back and read all the chapters. It's really gripping (I haven't seen I Am Legend but now I really wanna!) in a way that few fics are, like a really good crime novel or thriller. I am in love with the pacing and the chronological shifts between chapters to fill in the back story

I just caught up with this series and I really like it! I agree with the comment above that I applaud you hugely for not doing cheesy "end of the world" sex. This is infinitely more interesting. That said, I do like this very slow moving towards intimacy, that is at least somewhat driven by Mohinder's exhaustion.

I'm so scared for Mohinder now. What would Sylar do if he turned? I don't want it to happen, but it would be interesting to see Sylar's reaction. I love the idea of Sylar going apeshit to protect Mohinder.

This is all so beautifully written. I wish I had found it closer to the end so I don't have to wait for new installments. :-)

I really like how this world is progressing, both with the flashbacks to how it all got started and with the tension in Sylar and Mohinder's house. I like the interdependence between them, as well, with Mohinder now realizing that Sylar's will to fight was part of what gave him hope and kept him going.

I also liked that I don't entirely feel that Mohinder is suicidal at the end. He's definitely hit rock bottom and is unable to cope right now, but at the same time, it seems like someone who was completely ready for death wouldn't be berating himself over not thinking to bring a weapon. I do wonder, though, just how far he'll get, since Sylar has that excellent hearing, and keeping Mohinder alive seems to be the one thing that keeps him from falling down into despair.

I'll be looking forward to the next chapter!
