Wow, I really liked this! Molly sounded like a young woman growing up which is impressive. I actually didn't watch the last two seasons of Heroes but wow, Sylar reformed canonically? That's... weird. Lol.

Thanks! I figured Molly'd be one of those kids forced to grow up fast...

And yeah, about Sylar... Honestly, I hated that whole idea, especially since they threw it in at the end. Obviously my brain spun a fic out of it anyway, but the whole last season was amazingly frustrating.

last night she'd seen him try so hard to beat the past back that it left blood smears on his fist

Damn but that's a great line.

I loved seeing this from Molly's POV-- her being hidden away 'somewhere safe' was always something that bugged me most about the last seasons of the show. I mean, one mention, a throwaway line even, would've been nice.

Adored this <3

Apparently TPTB just figured we'd forget about Molly-- while forgetting that obsessive geeks NEVER forget. And also forgetting that ignoring continuity just makes a bad show overall.

Thank you for reading! :)

That was really interesting particularly as we saw it all through Molly's eyes. It makes me wish even more that we'd had some kind of closure of Molly in the show.

Seriously, Molly didn't even get closure in the webcomics. Less important characters got closure in the comics!

I love this. Like you, I haated the (IMO) nonsensical, "Sylar's a good guy!" arc that was shoved in at the end of the series; it was so poorly executed and disappointing that I felt a little insulted, as a fan of both the character and show. I still can't completely reconcile the killer with the reformed man at the end, nor can I truly belive that Peter, at least, had forgiven him and that Matt had let him go. However, getting to see the follow-up in this fic helped because it addressed the issue that not all the other characters would buy Sylar's 180, least of all Mohinder, and I appreciate that Sylar retained part of his darkness in this, and that his switch didn't end up as cut and dry as it had in canon.

I also adore Molly fic, so seeing this all from her POV was very refreshing and added a great twist to the Mohinder/Sylar dynamic. You really got into her head here and what I think her perceptions would be, of the events in her life and the other characters. I got that suffocating sensation she felt when seeing Sylar again,

My "favorite" part of the Sylar's-totally-good-now bit was when Matt looked into Sylar's head to see if he was really good. And the clear intention was to make Matt look like a jerk for not trusting a psychotic killer. I mean, really? REALLY, KRING? Sylar did all this heinous stuff in the same season and somehow I was supposed to feel bad for him. And the years-in-his-mind bit in, like, one episode was such a cop-out. If they wanted to pull that off, they shouldn't have thought of it at the last minute and done it from the start. Forget putting Sylar's consciousness in Matt's mind and sending his body to the carnival. They should've left Nathan's memories piloting the body while Sylar's mind was banished to his own conscience. /rant

I got the feeling that Heroes descended in crap because the writers just didnt care anymore. I mean how can you take such a wonderful series of characters and F it up so badly.... easy if you dont care. Anyway this was a wonderful extension of the story. Hey, at least we have fanfic!

[gaiafaye]

Yeah, by the end it just basically seemed like they were writing whatever they thought would stick and at least keep them in a job. At least the poor show's out of its misery now. :P

But yes, this is why we have fanfic! :) Thank you for reading!
