Oh my God....

This could EASILY be one of if not my favorite Mylar fics ever.
I RARELY lose myself when I'm reading a fic but honest to God, I started reading, and when I got to the end I looked around the room. I had lost myself in the words. Your descriptions were so real and raw and intense that I felt like I was Sylar. Or that I was standing there watching at least.

Secondly, you made the idea of him breaking Mohinder seem real...the first time I've read it actually believable. My God this was amazing...I'm in shock! Usually I make some incoherent noises but my brain is even too far gone for that.
I cannot express my love for this, and I will literally be waiting and refreshing mylar_fic for days until I see the next part.

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[baehj2915]

oh wow, THANK YOU!! This is, like, the best first post ever!

I'm glad that you like it so much. I tried really hard, and spent hours and hours, trying to write it exactly the way you read it. I thought it was very important that in this chapter the reader feel exactly what Sylar was feeling, with no real confusion as to his motives. And it took about 5000 more words than I thought it would, but I'm glad it came across.

Thank you again for reading and I'm really happy for your comment.

Also, cause you mention frequenting mylar_fic, I'm not actually an avid reader of Mylar. Mostly it was because I started right in the Heroes fandom with Mis, Misn't, MattMo, and that took, about, four months. And Mylar has such a big fan following, I don't know where to start. But now that I'm done with Mis, Misn't, I'd like to read more Mylar. If its not too much trouble, do you have any good recs for certain writers or whatnot? PM me, if you want.

Thanks again!!

I will most certainly PM you because I have plenty!!!!!

You are by far one of my new FAVORITE writers! Like...thinking-about-your-next-fic-for-days favorite!

*flees to PM you*

When you said that your next few chapters would have a high level of angst you were not kidding around

[baehj2915]

You are amazing. Seriously. Every time you post a comment, you just get it completely and summarize it in a great, warm way. And you kind of predicted a big part of Part 6 just now, but I won't tell you how.

and "this was like one of the most anxious experiences I've ever had reading a chapter" made my bottom tingle. That's so much what I wanted. I'm glad you said that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading and commenting. *kisses*

Whew! I had been thinking about my comment ever since I left it and started second guessing myself...like maybe I was reading too much into it or I was misreading what you were trying to convey, that maybe I was thinking about it too harshly (I tend to feel I'm on unstable footing when it comes to stories that have Mohinder being mistreated physically and emotionally -- when it's one sided and he seems to be on the receiving end -- because I don't see him as that guy so I'm not always certain if it's my own feelings that are colouring my reading experience). I know that's not what you're doing in this story and I love the exploration you're taking into this dark side of them, it's just that this chapter (particularly the end) was hard to endure

[baehj2915]

I love your responses. they give me so much food for thought. but since you are so considerate with your comments, I wanted to divulge something to you

[tiptoe39]

This is kind of fucking amazing. You made *MY* bottom tingle, dearie.

This chapter is the most intense yet. You do such a good job with Sylar's voice. I love how he realizes he has to do more than just threaten Mohinder to get him to be his. And how the Ecstacy-addled confessions of love are probably the most honest thing he's ever said. It's beautiful.

Well done. :D

[baehj2915]

I am unbelievably glad you like my non-M3 story. *hugs*

Thank you!!! :D

Holy fuck

[baehj2915]

wow... you have no idea how much i a) want to use "the most fucked up roller coaster on God's green earth" as a selling line for my fic and b) i appreciate the love you guys are giving me right now.

i just spent a lot of hours in sylar-pov, which always does something slightly off to my brain--though this is not nearly as bad as Volition btw-- and the really massive size of this installment was making it difficult for me to keep track of the emotional continuity. So, thank you so much for your comments. They really, really make me happy. :D

Good GOD, woman. This was traumatic, harrowing and simply wonderful. The process of breaking Mohinder was creepily alike to breaking in a wild animal, and Sylar suited the role of trainer so very perfectly. If someone had broken down the premise of this part- Sextasy and all- I would have laughed in their face. But this is epic.

I cannot WAIT for a scene from Mohinder's viewpoint, nor can I wait for the next two parts.

I just read that it was over 5000 words long. Man... it did NOT feel like that. And please do take that as a compliment.

[baehj2915]

well, to be a a little self-centered here, it's 5,000 words more than I thought it would be when I initially started writing. It's actually 9,479 words long. And I certainly do take it as a compliment. ;D

I was also guffawing at my own sextasy idea. But I needed him to have a break down and freak out and get really emotional. The only way I could think of him doing that was with drugs. So I decided not to write it badly to compensate for doing an ooc thing. :D

I hope to do the Mohinder POV part fairly soon, as I feel its really needed at this point. But thank you for the comments!!! I really appreciate it!
