Once again your pattern of updating just when I'm about to turn in for the night continues. You are a cruel cruel woman!

Oh my goodness that opening scene with Claire was too cute. In fact, Claire herself is too cute. And throwing Peter into the mix just made it an explosion of uber cuteness, like watching baby bunnies having a cuddle fight XD

I'm actually surprised that Molly and Mama Suresh showed up, but I'm glad they did. Will they be around to attend the baby shower? :D?

Mohinder snorted. "How wonderful for me. It'd be like a hostage situation. Don't ruin the domesticity, or he'll go on a killing spree."

Oh Mohinder, you know Sylar far too well. It's like a page straight out of his play book.

Mohinder: Sylar, could you wash the dishes?
Sylar: I'll kill everyone in the city!
Mohinder: Fine. I'll do it myself. AGAIN.

For some reason I have a feeling Mohinder's email to Nathan went something like this.

Dear Senator Dilhole,

STFU!

Sincerely,

Doctor Mohinder Suresh, PhDAh, I'm so glad to see and update for this and I can't

Mohinder: Sylar, could you wash the dishes?
Sylar: I'll kill everyone in the city!
Mohinder: Fine. I'll do it myself. AGAIN.

Okay, I just hurt something lol'ing at this. XD

I told myself this chapter would get posted on the weekend, and late Sunday night was my last shot! haha

This fic has a lot more cuteness than I intended, and that's probably for the best...

I don't know what you're talking about...

Mohinder: Sylar, could you wash the dishes?
Sylar: I'll kill everyone in the city!
Mohinder: Fine. I'll do it myself. AGAIN.

I wish you'd get back to fic, because THIS NEEDS TO EXIST.

You probably could distill Mohinder's passive aggressive email down to that, yeah. ;)

We finally get to a much meatier bit with Nathan!Sylar in the next chapter! And also a hefty chunk of sadness, hence why all the cute parts are necessary.

I have to get to bed, but I LOVED THIS. :D It's my favorite chapter yet - I'll leave you a proper comment tomorrow.

[gaiafaye]

:D Good to know! I await your elaboration because I need attention.

Back!

- The nursery scene was hi-larious - so many lols. I loved these lines especially:

"I will pick an array of matching, ducky things, and you will love them and buy them."

and

"She offered me the same, but I don't want to look like some pampered princess to my roommate."

"Did you just call me pampered?"

"I think she called you a princess," Mohinder said around a mouthful of pasta.

And I love the way that Clarie and Peter have become such good friends to Mohinder - it's something that makes me all smiley. Seriously, I couldn't stop smiling when I read it. You have a great way of writing dialog that really highlights the bonds they've started to form - how they can hang out and tease each other.

- And I loved how welcoming everyone was to Emma (lol Claire's line about how Peter thinks she's pretty. XD I shipped them so hard.) You get this feeling that, yeah, okay, maybe this time around the Company is going to get it right. Same with Mohinder's vow to help Tracy. (Although if everything spectacularly blows up, that's

Re: Back!

I think showing the bonds between characters is a great change of pace from the canon method of having the characters behave like people you're not sure you'd want to be friends with, yet they manage to form bonds offscreen... ;) But seriously, I'm glad it made you happy, because I enjoyed writing it! (And these bonds will definitely be important later

Don't ruin the domesticity, or he'll go on a killing spree.

I think you may have just described half the Mylar fics ever written ;)

This story keeps dragging me in deeper and deeper. The idea that "Nathan" is spending his spare time working on complicated research calculations that he should in no way be able to solve and yet somehow can't help himself... that kind of kills me a little, bringing back memories of what it was like watching the Nathan-facade slowly break and Sylar come bursting through. So much heartbreak!

Also, I have to say, your 'Peter' voice is so perfectly in-character, I just fall more and more in love with him each time.

[gaiafaye]

I actually wasn't sure about Peter in this chapter, so I'm glad to hear he's believable to you!

The Nathan-facade gets a huge crack in it next chapter, so stay tuned.

I should tell you, I normally run away screaming when I see MPreg (it's a squick of mine), but this story is so compelling and done so well- I got sucked into it and read all 7 chapters in one go. Please tell me there's more?!

[gaiafaye]

Haha, I felt the same way about mpreg at first, and then after poking around a bit, my own idea wheedled into my brain. I'm glad you like it!

I am definitely working on more! Real life is getting in the way, unfortunately.
