Thank you, very much. It honestly means a lot to me to hear that sort of thing about my writing. Especially about my characterization - I've had a couple of plot bunnies that I've regretfully thrown out because although the concept was interesting, I couldn't come up with a way to do it that didn't feel somewhat out-of-character for one or both of them

Oh that was good...so good!

I love how you portray the characters. I love how Mohinder is the one questioning himelf and then he has this nagging feeling about Zane Taylor. I also love the bits of Sylar shining through in the Zane facade.

The smut was hot too! great fic!

To me, it was really important to show bits of Sylar breaking through. Even in canon, he couldn't keep the act going 100%: there was his creepy staring at Dale, and that moment outside their motel rooms where he gave that speech to Mohinder. And of course, it just adds to the angst, because it's yet another moment that Mohinder will look back at when he figures things out, and tell himself that he should have known, he should have listened to his uneasy feeling.

Thanks a lot - I'm glad you liked it! :0)

Because you don’t cover yourself in scent like so many people here, and when you lean close to me, I swear I can smell your skin?

God, I *hate* it when guys exude a miasma of Axe or Tag or whatever. One time, I ran out of my usual armpit stuff, so I used this little free sample of men's deodorant that had been sent to my dad and he didn't want, and all day long, I felt like I was surrounded by frat boys (not Sendhil). Damn, that stuff is strong-smelling--I've never used any women's/unisex product that's lingered so long.

But I digress.

Oh my god, I've been wanting to read a fic like this for so long, with the strangeness of a man's hairy body, and the strangeness of the whole experience, and the awkwardness, and the not-super-romanticized-simultaneous-orgasm sex. I would've accepted either Sy or Mo as the first-timer, but I think it works out better this way, with Mohinder being able to compare it to sex with a woman.

And when he opened the internet browser, instead of doing the work he’d intended to do, he typed into the

I know. There is, sadly, one cologne that always sucks me in no matter who's wearing it (Stetson) but too many men seem to wear multiple strong products that overwhelm the sense of smell so much that other senses can't function. And in a bad way

Squilis. QUEEN O'PORN.

I mean it. Nobody makes porn seem as... plotty. It's all so eager and fervent and realistic and... *fans self*

I adored this, and am now going to seek out a convenient bunk to retire to..

[squills]

Hee! I am going to have to buy you a new bunk one day, aren't I?

I actually had the thought that perhaps it was rude of me to post porn at that time of night, since it meant it would appear in your flist in the morning when you were possibly working and, you know, it's bad enough to possibly get caught reading fic at work...but possibly getting caught reading porn would be even worse... ;0)

I'm glad you liked it!

I found a Mohinder very sweet here.
Sometime I find myself liking Mylar better than Petrellicest, and it's thanks to fics like these.
It was very beautiful. Mohinder gave himself to Zane before knowing really something about him, he's going to be so shocked.

[squills]

That's one of the things I really like about them. The time they spent together was completely filled with lies. But yet, I think they both felt a connection to each other. And I think the connection is still there: even when they were trying to kill each other, they seemed to look for ways to delay the killing.

Poor Mohinder...he thought he was finally getting a friend. And not only did that friend turn out to be Sylar, but then Mohinder went all through Season 2 without connecting with anyone else.

Thank you very much. The Petrellis have such a different relationship compared to Mylar, and it always feels nice to hear that someone liked this as much!
