THANK YOU x A MILLION! <3

[perdiccas]

As soon as I saw your PM, I went and made myself a cup of coffee and got a cookie for coffee dunking purposes. Then, I sat down to read and here I am with ice cold coffee and a decidely undunked cookie because I was so enthralled by this fic that I didn't even pause to sip! I think I read the entire thing with my mouth hanging open in awe at how wonderful it is.

Thank you so, so, so much! This is better than anything I could have hoped for and might very well be my new favourite fic of all time. I'm sorry, I'm still in the dumbstruck shock & awe stage after a second read so I'll have to come back later with a better comment, but this is everything I've ever hoped for from a bloodplay fic and more.

I love how you've delved into Luke's motivations here and his chronic fear of abandonment. The way that you tied that into the cutting is genius. I love how natural the progression is, from accidental to on purpose but Luke not really liking it for the cuttings sake to becoming part of this ritual that they share. I have no idea how

I am so frightfully pleased that you liked it Perdi! This sort of evolved away from my initial idea of a short, intense little PWP to a lengthier piece mostly because I had the mental image of the hands being the last thing done. And I couldn't cut Luke that much in one session, so then I was wondering why he would do it over and over. Plot eventually took over, the cutting providing the underpinnings for an emotional transformation, and a substantial shift in the relationship dynamic as well.

I was really happy at the way this turned out, and am happy as a clam that you are so pleased!

:O

That piece where Sylar and Luke are bouncing power off each other, lacing fingers and just using energy, while Sylar's giving Luke a bj? SUCH a kink of mine. I've never seen it done so perfectly or poetically before.

You are AMAZING. :O

[jaune_chat]

I lurve power empathy. Even though the mechanics of Sylar having it on the show was wiggedy-whack to the highest degree, it's still an awesome concept that I was pleased as punch to be able to use. And hands-free telekinetic-assisted blow-jobs FTW! So pleased you enjoyed!

Just jumped on the Heroes Slash wagon! this being my first story read. WOW!!! I loved it!

[jaune_chat]

Welcome to the wagon! It's a bit crowded and tad kinky, but we have a lot of fun here. I'm so pleased you enjoyed my story! I have plenty more slash (and het, gen, and other) on my journal, so if you liked my stuff, just check my master post for more. *Is a shameless, self-promoting punk.*

[themadbutterfly]

well, i definitely going to check it out. I loved your writing in this story. ^^

[takhallus]

Whoah, that is so awesome! I'm not into blood play traditionally but the link you give it with their growing relationship makes it make sense and I love the way you link the emotions that Luke goes through in his desire to please Sylar.

Your dialogue is spot on too, I love it.

[jaune_chat]

I'm so glad you like it! I knew in order to make this work I had to make the cutting emotionally important in some way, so yay I'm glad it worked. Luke's dialogue is always great to write; I get to bring out my inner teenager out to play.

OH MY GOD!!!
Wow. Where do I start? Okay, first of all, poor, poor Luke. My heart ached for him in the diner, and I was with him when his fear turned to rage at Sylar. And when he burned the diner down - perfect. Exactly something he'd do.
When Sylar rescued him in the store I literally gasped. So exciting, like the best part of your favourite movie.
And the cutting... you may have given me a new kink. I love how it got more and more intense. And this:

'“Good boy.”

Something like that should have not gotten Luke hard again, but it did.'

*squee!*

I also LOL'd at the 'short bus kind of stupid' remark. I plan on using that a lot. :)
Plus, the end, with them rescuing Peter? Holy shit that was awesome!! <3

[jaune_chat]

Luke seems to be someone who wants to erase his past so he can have something better in the future, so the destruction of the diner was my first step there.

Sylar stepping into the convenience store: My beta said there needs to be an icon of that, like now. ;-)

"Short bus kind of stupid" seems like exactly the sort of remark a fringe teen like Luke would say.

I'm not always into cutting, but it does work for me when there's a good emotional reason, so I'm glad I was able to convey that here!

I'm glad you liked the mention of Peter! I knew I had to have a firm goal for these two at the end, and starting with Sylar's perennial enemy was the logical choice. :-)

Oh good lord yes, that needs to happen.
