Nicely done! I loved your emo-apologist Sylar and his haphazard attempt to still *be* Sylar, while flailing around mentally at the changes in him. It worked really well as a kind of Sylaire (as opposed to Claitchen) version of Pass/Fail, with them both accepting that they might be able to eventually give each other answers. (And LOL at him "dating" Elle - a generous description of their few hours together *g*)

Great story! Can't wait for more. ^_^

Thanks for a good read.

I really enjoyed this. Not the story I've been dying to read more of, but it's still great to hear from you. You are very talented.

That 'not-calling-for-help-because-Clair-doesn't-trust-anyone-to-help-her' insight is something that had never occurred to me before (in fact, I hadn't noticed the not calling for help or had taken it for granted . . . especially since Sylar would have little trouble killing any normal, unpowered, and unarmed human who might unwarily answer a neighbor girl's call for help). Nice variation on the insight into the way that Clair cuts herself off from humanity, even if they haven't quite made it all the way there yet in this AU.

I really loved this, and all the insights that it offered, such as Claire's lack of trust and her experiences with the suicide tapes. I also liked Sylar's wanting to be "Sylar" and failing.

Lovely job.
