God, I get so excited when you post fic, because I know that every line is going to be perfect and that the dialogue will leave me totally speechless and that everyone will be 100% in character.

“Rule number one, kid: Mohinder is never worthless. Exasperating at times, but never worthless.”
I demand a bumper sticker of this! I love how Sylar is simultaneously open about what he says about Mohinder in front of Luke, but at the same time doesn't ever reveal to the kid exactly how important Mohinder is to him. You do a beautiful job of balancing that.

Luke was quite charming here, and it's funny how he really does have a handle on Sylar, much as Sylar would never admit it. He knows how to get under both of their skins. Mohinder's proclamation about why it was ok to leave him with Sylar was really poignant. Poor, creepy kid.

Sylar’s eyes were bright. “After all we’ve been through together, all our shared history, I’ve never done this

Thank you so much. I always love your comments. :-)

I love how Sylar is simultaneously open about what he says about Mohinder in front of Luke, but at the same time doesn't ever reveal to the kid exactly how important Mohinder is to him.
And Luke is sharp enough to realize there's some serious history between these two, history that automatically makes him a third wheel in this equation.

Poor, creepy kid.
There's something about Luke that reminds me of those poor women who write love letters to convicts. Either Luke is the world's worst judge of character, or he has the world's worst survival instincts, or a combination of the two.

Again, thank you very much. I love your feedback, and I'm so glad you liked it.

This was fantastic! You got Luke and Sylar's relationship down so well in that Luke is such a little sadomasochist, and Sylar doesn't care one way or the other that he treats the kid like crap...

And just the whole exchange between Mohinder and Sylar...looooooved it! And Matt hearing Mohinder's thoughts at the end...brilliant!

My comment feels annoyingly vague, but lemme just say so so so much love for this!

cheers!!

This is the first Mylar fic I've read in months, and it's fabulous. Great job. It feels like the good old times before Volume III.

It feels like the good old times before Volume III.
Oh, Volume III, Volume III... Yeah. Hard times for Mylar fans lately, huh? Still, last week's episode rekindled my Mohinder love in full force. If they could just find some way to throw Mo in Sylar's path, I would wholeheartedly embrace this current volume.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed the fic, and thank you so much for commenting.

*squee* That was spectacular! The dialogue and characterization was spot on, Sylar and Luke were crazy campy, and this has all made me do this: :D

Poor, poor Mo, stuck in the middle between these two lunatics. Thank you for commenting -- I really appreciate it!

I really enjoyed this which says a lot because I can't stand Luke on the show! But you gave him a different type of voice that I had no problem with enjoying...

Very good fic!

Luke annoys the crap out of me on the show. But I figure it's okay, because he's supposed to annoy the crap out of me. Anyway, I feel like I've performed character assassination on him here, because he's not nearly as flat-out creepy as I've made him, but... artistic license, I suppose. Thanks for commenting.
