Muurrrrr, "husband"!

I dunno why that makes me so happy.

Soooo cute, so precious.

Yeah, Shattered Salvation verse - they're married. Not just to each other, either. It's complicated. Makes for great story-fodder.

I like it because it speaks of commitment and a willingness to stay with the other person for reasons outside the hot sex.

I've read a few things, yeah. It's cute.

Yay!

I'm so linear, I'm even struggling with 'wait, why isn't forgiveness morally consistent?' I'm tempted to quote the Bible about 'forgiving your brother 70x7 and then again' or the gist of that, anyway. I guess...you forgive someone over and over again so you still love them so love and forgiveness are synomomous? That almost hurt my head, there. And you say *I* write abstract stuff

Yay! Thank you so much. You hit on a couple things I was hoping to get across here, that Gabriel is using logic and Peter is using emotion. Far as Peter's concerned, forgiving anyone is illogical - after all, they did something bad, why give them a chance to do it again? - but it's imminently right. And it's that inconsistency that Gabriel is struggling with.

This same exchange would work pretty well in a Spock/Kirk fic, except that Spock doesn't have the Big Sin that needs a loving heart to overlook. Peter/Sylar is like K/S on drama overload. Maybe that's why I like it so much!
