I really do enjoy your writing. Mohinder and his relationships with his mother, with Peter, Claire and Molly is all so interesting and then you sneak in a Sylar!Nathan and wow! :-)

I think it was Sylar!Nathan who did the sneaking. ;) But thank you!

Eeeeee, new chapter! :DDDD

Isn't Claire much more likable when she's not wandering around doling out beyond-her-years wisdom and then leaping out of windows because that will somehow solve a mystery? I'm not sure how much of Gretchen I can get into this fic, but she and Claire definitely had potential.

I had to write that scene with Mohinder's mother. I'm not sure what it says about me that I was intent on writing something heart-wrenching, BUT I HAD TO. Maybe it was so I could get to Molly making it all better. :) (Well, for a bit, at least.)

Regarding Mohinder figuring out "Nathan," you hit exactly the problem. He definitely knows that something is wrong, but there's really no reason to think Sylar is involved. But the shit will inevitably hit the fan...

Thank you for continuing to read. :)

Epic baby shower is EPIC! I know you wrote Peter as skeptical, but I have a feeling that deep down he was hardly able to control his own glee and cooed along with the ladies :P

And OMFG that last scene! Sylar!Nathan really knows how to layer on the creepy. Breaking into someone's room to watch them sleep and then making out with them in such an uncomfortable manner. Mohinder should realize that this isn't Nathan simply by his complete and utter lack of game lol.

Haha, I thought about doing an all-out shower with the paper plate hat and everything... but we didn't need more of Mo moping on the roof. ;)

I'd say Peter is probably the kind of guy you be happy to have at a shower if guys were allowed, but they're typically such ~lady business~ that he felt awkward and had to sit in the corner, watching the fun with sad, neglected puppy eyes. :(

You know, when you put it like that, I guess Sylar!Nathan is worse than Edward Cullen. haha But anyway, really Mohinder doesn't know Nathan all that well, so just thinking he's become a sexual-orientation-confused alcoholic creeper is still in the realm of believability for him, I think.

Though now you have me imagining a different ending to this chapter, where Mohinder is all huffy because he didn't get the suave seduction he'd always dreamed of. :(

As I said in another comment, Mohinder knows there's something wrong, but he doesn't have a reason to think Sylar's anything but dead. He'll still try to solve this problem, though. It's just too bad the only people who can help are in on the we-need-Sylar-to-be-Senator-Nathan conspiracy. It will all get... dicey.

Thank you for reading!

Yay you've updated!

Poor Mohinder. Between Claire's good intentions, his confession to his mom, not seeing Molly for a while and creepy Sylar!Nathan... It's a wonder he's not a complete and utter mess. I stopped watching before the whole Claire-is-a-lesbian storyline, so I have no opinion on it, though I like her going to Mohinder for advice.

Mohinder is resilient! Because he has to be, really. I'm not sure how much Claire/Gretchen will come up again, but I'm glad it comes off as a nice moment.

Thanks for reading. :)
