What a brilliant prompt and a perfect execution of it! Gaaaaaaah, I want morrrrrrre. *puppy eyes!*

Seriously, this was fantastic.

So glad you liked it! These two were just so sharp, they were cutting the air around them like hot knives through butter. :D

Dunno if I'll do more with these two, but this was hella fun to write.

It was hella fun to read! :D

I don't know much about Heroes, but Sylar would make an amazing doll! And I love how Adele and Noah keep trying to manipulate each other, even though it turns out they want the same things after all. Great story!

The two-way spiral of manipulation was a blast to write. And Sylar would be the most killer Doll. Once that idea popped into my head, the story became just that more cool. All he wants to be loved! :D Thanks for commenting!

This is awesome! I’ve never seen Dollhouse, but obviously I sort of know the premise and could follow well enough. You write a great Noah, and I loved his rapport with this Adelle lady, who seems pretty stone-cold fabulous. You could tell they went way back, but had their issues. Loved the twist at the end where they’re really the same, trying to protect their families. And the idea that someone would move from working at a place like the company to a place like the Dollhouse makes perfect sense. The plot to take care of Sylar was brilliant. Bravo!

Adelle is a wonderful, incredibly intelligent, stone-cold manipulator with nerves of steel. She's kind of like Dollhouse's version of Noah, which was why I had to get these two talking. They play off each other fabulously. I'm so glad that came through even if you didn't know one fandom! Thank you so much for commenting!

Do things in a straightforward and equal manner? Pish tosh, such things are for weaklings! :D This was an intense writing session to get these two going at each other verbally, but damn it was worth it! Thanks so much sweetie!

(And if you get a chance to see more of Dollhouse, the first season was kind of "Yeah, this a kinda cool premise" right up until the last two or three episodes were it kicked into "Holy crap on a stick, did that awesomeness just happen?!" Then second season just got better.)

I loved this and I confess, I absolutely didn't see the twist coming that Sylar was already a doll. Excellent blending of the two canons, I loved seeing Adele and HRG going head to head.

Sneaky author is sneaky! So glad you liked it, sweet pea! Adele and Noah clash so dang well, it was hella fun to write.
