I'm just absolutely in love with your fics, and this installment only affirms that!
For some reason it had never occurred to Mohinder just how differently he and Sylar probably viewed what they had; Mohinder had forced down his painful memories as far as he could to endure the burden of taking this man on his life’s journey. That journey hadn’t changed, except for who the companion was. But for Sylar, an entire life’s path, an all-encompassing mission for self-actualization, had been given up over the course of two weeks. Something new, revolving around Mohinder, had been embraced instead. The very course of Sylar’s life had changed. Why hadn’t Mohinder foreseen just how serious this really was? Just how terrifying? i usually don't like to paste and copy that much but the whole passage was so brilliant in illustrating what is going on in the characters' minds. i love how you delve into sylar's vulnerability, which is always refreshing to see. at times i forget that about him, and so far in this fic my sympathies have been more with
( ... )
Happy to bring you out of hiding~! Nice, thoughtful comments are always loved. ^_^
I'm happy that paragraph stood out for you- it was really essential to illustrate, I think, as a revelation for Mohinder. It's the classic problem in a relationship, where neither is really sure exactly what the relationship means to the other, and if it's not even or at least understood by each other, complications arise. Mohinder just keeps stumbling deeper and deeper into how meaningful it really is... ^_^
Yeah, I'd love to see more of Mohinder's too. I think she would have really, really interesting interactions with other characters. I mean, geez, she can't have known NOTHING about all that Chandra was doing. Her insight would be really spectacular to have, I think.
And yes! The paintings are cool. There are more really neat ones to come. Since in my 'verse the Mohinder/Bennet storyline is different, there's an entirely new set of paintings to work with... ^_^
When the idea hit me as to how to connect my AU 'verse back with the canon 'verse again, I just about peed myself. :P The painting idea was immediate as I sat there and said, "Okay, if Mohinder and Sylar really WERE gone, how would this affect the canon storyline?" I'm excited too. ^_~
I'm glad you liked the confrontation. Everyone seems to enjoy it in my fics where they fight... ^~ They thrive on conflict, I swear.
This chapter floored me. Mohinder's realization of what their relationship must be like to Sylar and then the merging of your fic closer to the canon storyline.. *jaw dropped* You are so amazing!
Thanks so much! It took a long time to figure out how to do that, I'm not going to lie. x_x The entire time that I wasn't writing during the semester because my brain couldn't wrap around it, I spent brainstorming (with the help of one of my roommates) and writing out a timeline between my 'verse and the canon 'verse to figure out exactly what the hell I was going to do and whether or not it would work. @_@ A lot of time went into this, and hell, I'm not even done writing it! *working on that second or third to last chapter now...**cough*
Glad so many things struck you, though. ^_^ As long as you're enjoying it, all is well!
Crikey. So much to talk about, so much happening! Relationship self-analysis! Bennett and the Haitian! Paintingpaintingspaintings! And...more terrifying than all of these, more worrying to me than all of them put together... the ex...
So many things to get excited about, yes yes... ^_^ Plot is hard! I struggled a hell of a lot with it before I wrote, and up until now didn't have anyone to ask if it worked or not. x.x It was something new to have to write Bennet and the Haitian, among others. I'm so sucked into the mylar mindset and their ways of thinking that doing other people totally throws me off. That's partly why I've slunk away from the community as well; I just can't wrap my mind around other stories and characterizations while I'm in my own 'verse's mindset.
But yes! Whether I like it or not, there's Bennet and the Haitian and more to come (including Mira, poor girl...). So look forward to it! Going away to a friend's on Saturday but I will have the internet to post, luckily. ^_~
Thanks for reading and commenting!
OH! And I hear there is much plotting to do with Lou as well on what her request will be in exchange for my layout... good luck with that. ^_~
Happy you thought so! Everyone seems to enjoy when they get into a good brawl... Though whether it's because fighting is fun or people hope for make-up sex... the world may never know. ^_~
A new picture, a new twist to the original plot... we'll see where that leads, yes? ^_^
More on Saturday! Thanks for reading and commenting!

I've been wanting to see an AU-ish where someone alters the paintings and storyline. YOU ROCK MY WORLD. XD
Also, I loved the confrontation between Sylar and Mohinder.

Sylar, please don't kill her. I'm sure Mohinder likes you waaaaay better.
I do love your writing. *sighs happily*
