Ooh! I’m so glad I checked LJ just now! Whee!

My favorite thing is when people use Capital Letters to be Humorous. When done correctly, nothing in this world is better. And this was done correctly, by jove. The Moves!!!!!!!! HEEEEEE! I laughed out loud (and snorted!) about the Long Walks In the Countryside. I think I love you. And then I love the continuation of The Moves in The Date. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and it worked! Sylar’s been memorizing those dating books. Hee!

“I just want you to know that I appreciate you as a person,” he said.

Hee, me too!

And this? I have always wondered what crap like that actually means, so to have Sylar start out with something so awful and trite was really amazing.

Ahaha, me neither. When I was browsing through the relationship advice books (and it was incredibly embarrassing checking those out from the library, let me tell you), stuff like that came up all the time.

His immediate judging of Sylar’s single-mindedness, followed soon afterwards by a bit of self-awareness. Beautifully done there (plus the dialogue about the watches was paced perfectly for subtle hilarity). Then the part about knowing that he’s getting tipsy but not wanting to let Sylar be right in bossing him around was just perfect.Thank you! I wanted to set up that, underneath it all, the two of them do have some similarities in their personalities, which of course does not sit well with Mohinder. And I've not entirely made up my mind, but I think that Sylar's comment about Mohinder's wine- ( ... )

But then around the time that Mohinder’s garden began to thrive, Sylar started to put The Moves on him. One day Mohinder was out in the garden, weeding, when Sylar stuck his head out the door.

“I just want you to know that I appreciate you as a person,” he said.

“…what?” Mohinder said, but by then he was gone.

I remembered all the dating and relationship books Mohinder found in the library and started to laugh in anticipation and was well rewarded as the 'Moves' became progressively more audacious and obvious. :-)

Oh man! This was absolutely fantastic. There was humor, more background information on Mohinder, and PORN! God, I love this fic.

What I continue to like about this is your narration style. I like that we're getting Mohinder's "inner-most thoughts", and that serves to make Sylar's actions and mannerisms even stranger. It's fun to see Sylar saying and doing these outrageous things that just confuse Mohinder, plus he's still believable awkward while trying to be romantic, so that all works for me!

I absolutely love that Mohinder wanted to start a flower garden - it seems so like him to want to cultivate and care for things, and I think it's great that he's the one who does everything without Sylar really helping him. It makes so much sense that Mohinder would want to do something for himself, to keep himself busy instead of going insane again, and it seems like a small step toward him going back to wanting to help other people.

The dinner "scene" was absolutely hilarious. I couldn't stop giggling, especially at this part:

I am SO pleased you like the garden! When I was in my very, very first draft of this, I was racking my brains trying to figure out what Mohinder was doing all day, and then this came to me and I was all "!!!" It made sense to me in a way that I couldn't quite articulate, but yeah, what you said. :D

And yay, porn! \o/ Glad you liked! :D
