Typo, because you know me -- I have to point these out. She wondered what happen when that overtook your life completely.

“It tingles when you lie.” That line is so Sylar that it made me chuckle; I could see him perfectly there, right beside Claire, a smirk splayed across his lips.

Oh, god Pink! This... This is just perfect. The way you made Claire end up relying on Sylar, caring for him and how hard it is for her to deal with is incredible.

I loved this piece to bits -- I'm so glad you finished it. &hearts

Thanks! Though I think I deserve props for that being the only one you found in such a long fic that had no beta but myself. At least minor props. Miniprops?

I'm so glad you liked it! ♥ I look forward to being the Sylar to your Claire. And I love that new Claire icon.

There was another in there somewhere that might have been a typo, but I was too side-tracked by the story to copy/paste. You definitely get props. :D

It was fantastic! &hearts Also, I meant to mention that I really enjoyed how you handled the dull, motel-to-motel thing. You didn't repeat yourself nearly as much as you were afraid of, and the way you pulled it off was perfect.

I look forward to being the Claire to your Sylar! And I do, too -- it's so pretty.

YOU WILL LEAD TO MY DOWNFALL, LAZY PSEUDO-BETA.

Oh, thanks! TBH I expected it to go on a lot longer than it did and when it got to the final scene I was like, "Huh, I guess that's good." Leaves it open for a sequel, though. Oh man now I'm thinking of one. Shoot!

It is! I wonder how I missed it on my mad hunt for Claire icons. I seriously thought I'd seen them all.

Wow. Just... wow. Amazing fic! I love your take on what a road trip would be like with Alex, and it's wonderful! The line “It is lonely, Claire,” he said, calloused fingers brushing a lock of hair from her face. “Until you find someone just as lonely as you are.” really got to me.

Thanks so much! I feel kind of bad for mistreating him so much.
