Peter kissed him on the forehead, now unwrinkled, smooth, untroubled. He was at peace.

*sobs*
This is wonderful. I adore you. Peter's change during the seasons - you caught it perfectly.
And Nathan... I really need to get over it. But I can't. He's so wonderful, even when he is Sylar. *shakes head*
I'm not confused, not at all. *lol*

Thank you for this. :)))

You're welcome. :) I had to do it for me, too.

Ab-so-lutely.

I'd better look at the nominations! I'm not even aware! (Talk about RL getting in the way; I've been so insanely busy for the last several weeks I have barely paid attention beyond watching and recapping the show!)

I just reread this fic and realized to my horror that I did not leave a comment the first time I had read it.

This is such a perfect, worthy ending point to your Ritual series, even though I hope you will revisit your boys some time in the future.

I have watched Six Months Ago and Brother's Keeper back to back today and was blown away how battle-hardened they both seemed in the latter. And you captured this history, all the shit they have gone through together in this fic. Every moment is mind blowingly intense and ripe of their past experiences. And even though you skillfully injected Sylar's consciousness here and there I can't help but see this character as Nathan just like I did on the show.

The brutal, emotional honesty of the fic does leave you feel bruised as a reader but in the best way possible.

And this:

"When you love me, I'm here."

made me cry.

Thank you for sharing this with us. And tell us when your novel comes out!

[mystery_sock]

I most certainly will - YOU are my readership! And you will all be put on the street team, telling everyone you know in all your fandoms and communities to buy it, and writing positive reviews online, etc. etc.

On the other hand, I kinda have to finish writing it. :) I LOVE it so far - the characters are really firmly grounded in their Heroes-bound inspirations, but they are still really their own characters. I am inhabiting them almost as completely as I was able to mentally inhabit Peter and Nathan, but it's several degrees more difficult to do than fanfic (as it should be, I guess). A good friend of mine who is reading the new material tells me that the most brilliant thing about it is that if she didn't know that the new novel was basically Heroes fic, she would have no idea of its origin. WIN!

At this rate you'll be drawing me back to Heroes! I stopped watching about a season ago cos RL intervened and then I couldn't pick up the plotlines again.
