I don't know. I have a chapter of aftercare which, for the moment, in really, really rough draft form, ends with "and they lived happily ever after". I felt like I'd wrapped up all the outstanding issues, yet they were still there in the Wall. Because the central conflicts of this story was never where they were. Honestly, they weren't even very motivated to get out once they'd 'found' each other. What might really heal and fix Sylar - a few years or a decade of unremitting, unconditional love.
I've been kind of mulling that over - how to end it. What do you want to see? What do you think would make sense? I don't want an open ended story. I want one with a definite end.
Well, you could always tie it up with canon and have them get out after a while because they need to stop Samuel and all that jazz, and have them leave Matt's with the promise they'll still be together in the real world?
I'm not really sure, since your story already deviates from canon in that they're not fighting up until the time they get out of the nightmare.
So...yeah. I guess you can just do something cliche like that, or maybe try something unexpected, like they get out of the dream, but the whole time after in the real world they wish they were back to just the two of them?
So glad you enjoyed it! I agree that Peter giving over control was the best way to go about it, but he had to keep enough control to prod Sylar into actually doing it. Otherwise there would have been several more rounds of stalling, if Sylar had had to work himself up to it on his own.
It's funny that Peter is the one in this story 'fixing' and 'repairing'. Usually that's Sylar's job, but healing is Peter's thing and healing others a specialty. That's why Peter slashes so well with people who need help and support.
Wonderful conclusion to this deep, complicated series. I agree with Meredith, Peter is the perfect person for Sylar, to heal him and give him the love he so desperately needs. And the fragile, reactionary Sylar you've created in this verse is very endearing. These two have been through a lot and it is so good to see them finally happy together.
One thing I really appreciate in this story is the realism. Things are hard, have to be worked for, even the sex isn't perfect, for instance not getting off together. You make it two real men having sex, not a perfect story where everything goes swimmingly.
Now the sex itself, yay! Hot! Love Peter having a sensitive ass.
He moaned into Sylar's mouth when the man began to knead his ass, the motion alternately stretching and compressing his crack, making him feel so open. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. "Yeah, yeah, yeah," he breathed...."Mm, like this?" Sylar let the tip of a long, slender middle finger play over the sensitive, stretched flesh of Peter's anus...But a second later, Sylar worked two

Themes - realism, Peter being sexually aggressive. Yes, those are repeated throughout.
(I can't believe I didn't respond to your comments before now! Oh ... yeah, you made them the day I was laid off. Heh. I was a bit distracted. :) )
I have Sylar being as wanting as Peter, it's just that Sylar's having a lot of difficulty with translating those feelings into sexual action.
Love what you get across here, perfect characterization on Sylar's part. Like he is having a psychological episode of PTSD almost, frozen and having a protector personality come to the fore to make sure that everything is alright, because the scared Sylar just cannot fathom wanting to have anal sex. Also, I hope it came across that it's not just a protector personality for Sylar, but that he's being protective of *Peter* as well. I answered someone else's comment elsewhere (I think Meanie on an earlier chapter) that in this story Sylar has been working on seeing things from Peter's point of view and trying to get his empathy going. This is another little

Aw, and then Sylar...what to say? Tender and sweet despite the vigorousness. But you really make me want to know what is going on in his mind this whole time?! I can't even imagine. it must be chaos up there. And then probably blissful silence as he realizes that sex between men can be a good thing, with all pleasure and no pain or humiliation. Peter has done a wonderful job teaching Sylar how to have fun. Awwww. I look forward to the aftercare and I do so hope we get Sylar's pov!
Loved this series!! Loved it! This is like canon to me. HUGS

Sylar's mind once he starts going to town: Feels good. Don't stop me. Feels great. Ass. Feels weird. Still. Fuck it. Harder. More. Peter? God, he's letting me. He looks so hot, so sexy. I'm fucking him! He's letting me fuck him! This is happening. God, fuck, it's happening. He doesn't even ... it's not just him. He's letting me do my thing. It's not about him. It's me. Me! Fuck him! Fuck him hard, so hard he can't fucking walk! Drive myself in ... drive that in there ... harder! Fuck!
Not that, you know, I've thought about it or anything. ;)
Thank you so much for all your kind words and great comments!
I have to say, I was just thinking things along the lines of "Sylar plays with Peter's ass" probably after you mentioned it was a precursor to Performance Anxiety. I have a bit of an idea, really AU, of how to finish the series that I'm gonna make you read through the rest of my comment(s) to read

"Once he looked in the right spot, Sylar made up his mind quickly." -- I didn't get this right away. You didn't say where Sylar's physical eyes were looking and that threw me. But I love what you meant - it was beautiful and true. Looking inside of himself, in his own heart. Yes.
I find this endearing (and mega-hot) because it shows that Peter, Mr. Fly by the Seat of His Pants, pays attention to what turns people/Sylar on. He doesn't just go for it, "willy nilly". Peter takes notes, too!Yes, he does, but you're right that he tends to fly by the seat of his pants a lot. For one thing, Sylar in this story has *forced* Peter to slow down, pay attention and quit being so damn pushy. Just because a person is giving a positive physical or even emotional response doesn't mean they want to do the act you're pushing on them. That's what wacks Peter up for this story - trying to adjust to someone who has an intellectual/memory-based trauma, not an emotional disconnect in the now and certainly not a physical problem. If Peter only keys off the

I'm wondering, are you ever going to come to an end where the get out of the dream, or is this strictly their journey in the dream world?
