Oooh nice chapter. Always love the Nathan Peter interaction. Great!

[indyhat]

Thank you! :)

And I will ask you what you asked me the other day: why don't you write this ship?

;)

Nice bit of backstory between them. Well-done.

[indyhat]

Thanks; glad you liked it :)

Why don't I write this 'ship? Good question. I was thinking about this, and I think it's because story doesn't jump out at me for them the way it does with Plaude. I really enjoy reading other people's Petrelli stuff, but I can never think of any of it for myself that hasn't already been covered much better by someone else.

Pish posh. You can do it.

[indyhat]

I'll do it if you'll do it :P

Wow, you're Nathan is good...I mean, you write him well. I could really hear this.

And this line:

And Peter fights that; wants his brother, not this easy, dismissive simulacrum. "No." Voice stubborn, petulant. "Tani, whatever you think this is, you have to tell me. We can't have secrets- we shouldn't have secrets."

I loved...special points for "simulacrum", great word.

Loved the whole thing, really, very nice interaction between the two.

Question: How far back in time is this? Or will we find out about that later? Oh, and does Nathan really not have any powers? So, really, that should be "Questions"...

[indyhat]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it (and found it convincing :)

*squees about special points for 'simulacrum' ... I'd say Peter's been reading Boudrillard, but until he works out time-travel for himself, that's gonna be problematic ;)

How far back in time is this? Or will we find out about that later?

You can infer from other bits of the story (tiny bits, don't worry; I don't expect people to keep track of these things) that this is a few (4ish?) years ago.

Oh, and does Nathan really not have any powers?

Well, that'd be telling, wouldn't it? ;)

[visiblemarket]

Well, that'd be telling, wouldn't it? ;)- Well, yes, it would be...telling. Tell me! Tellll meee! Okay, I'll stop whining. But...tell me! No? Fine.

[indyhat]

Hee! Patience, kiddo - We'll get there, I promise :)

[betterthanlegos]

Excellent.

[indyhat]

Thank you! :) And thanks for commenting; I get the sense that I'm losing readers at the moment because the plot ain't moving, so it's nice to know that someone's still reading :)

[betterthanlegos]

Hee. Are you kidding? This is one my favorite fics right now :)

[indyhat]

Aww, bless you, hun! That does my ego no end of good :) Thank you!

I love the fact that Tani isn't as big a jerk as Nathan can be sometimes. And thanks for Claude's not exactly free-shot. *waits for some Claude-backstory now*

[indyhat]

Yeah, I've been quite nice to Nathaniel so far. Hmmm ... >;)

thanks for Claude's not exactly free-shot.

Oh good, someone caught that! Wasn't sure ;)

*waits for some Claude-backstory now*

I'm still not sure where I'm going to throw that in ... maybe in a little while it might be appropriate as a flashback.

Thanks for reading! :)

Bearded gentlemen can't go unnoticed. Don't know why, but the word gentleman applied to Claude makes me smile like a fool.

It's alright, hun, I'll take whatever you want to give us.

LOL! Yes, it's not a word that gets used much, about him. Shame, really.
