Best Sex Scene (Excerpts chosen by mod when not specified by nominator)
Control Freak by perdiccas
For Mohinder, nothing could compare to the pleasure that came with the mounting heat in his groin and simultaneously feeling Matt’s muscles tighten under his hands, knowing that Matt was feeling the same rush and wash of ecstasy.
The Deep Below by carmexgirl
He smelt of sweat, of soil, of gunpowder and salt water. It was a glorious scent, one which made him drunk with desire.
Easily, Naturally by out-there
He's sick of coaxing and leading Matt; sick of the temptation to bend Matt over the end of bed, tell him, "I'm going to fuck you," and the sinking suspicion that Matt would agree, would allow it, would let it happen even if he didn't want it.
In the Stacks by tiptoe39
God, he was so full and so right and right there, and the fact that they were still clothed from the waist up, that their pants were around their knees, made it all so raw and needy and dirty and real.
Best Death Scene (Excerpts chosen by mod when not specified by nominator)
Manifesting by kleenexcow
"I'd dealt with illusionists before, Parkman," he said and lifted his finger back up. There were screams again, but this time they were Matt's once more.
Police and Thieves by comixologist
Sylar closed his eyes and imagined how warm her blood would be, flowing sluggishly out of a perfect little head wound and over his knuckles as he prodded her mind for answers.
Theory of Relativity by kleenexcow
Blood splattered everywhere from the ruined mess that was his head, for he had no power, no need for Sylar to preserve that whorled flesh that had once held DNA sequences next to lullabies.
When I Ruled the World by carmexgirl
“No Matt. It’s too late. I’ve already lost the man I loved; I wouldn’t wish the same on Peter.” He looked down at his hand, and twisted the wedding ring around on his finger. “I stopped… I stopped loving you a long time ago. You made it that way. Goodbye Matt.”
