OMG, you totally didn't need to apologize; I'm sorry it took me a while to comment on this, and I felt spoiled enough already!
First of all, I absolutely love this. Love, love, love. I went back and re-read the first two parts, and after finishing everything, I found that there were major things that especially stood out to me in each part. The first one had awesome action and description in it, the dialogue in the second one was phenomenal, and in this last part, there was a combination of things that I loved, and I think you combined them all flawlessly in here: Mohinder's internal conflict, the smut - which, by the way, I thought was incredibly hot - the dialogue, the visual imagery, and the open-ended conclusion. And those are just things I could think of to summarize right now, LOL.
To me, the sex didn't seem like it was a focal point to the arc, and I really like that. I was wondering if this would turn out to end in them having sex, then deciding to team up again to take down the government, but the actual outcome was perfect, IMO. I love that they first had a physical release together, then had a more emotional/psychological one afterward, and that in the end, Mohinder still saw Sylar for who he was and he wasn't willing to go along with him.
You hit a lot of points that I flailed at because it was great to get acknowledgments, and then exploration, of what happened to them while they were apart from each other, especially Mohinder thinking about Maya, Mohinder's apprehension of going back to his mother and Molly, and Sylar's encounter with his dad. I thought it was brilliant how you acknowledged the parallel of Mohinder turning into his father (and whose fault that was), and Sylar's fear of turning into Samson, in addition to Sylar's explanation of his epiphany, but that it didn't mean he was feeling remorseful or wanting to completely change his ways. That's the kind of Sylar I'd wanted to see developing throughout the last two volumes, not him flipping back and forth between extremes.
Ooh, also, I LOVE that there wasn't anal penetration in the smut. I mean, that would have also been great, but I thought it was hot enough as it was, and especially that it was so charged and that Mohinder was reveling in just being alive and giving into the moment. Then he was back to being all snippy and GTFO with Sylar afterward, which was awesome. I love how you wrote both of them in here so, so much.
One last thing: that paragraph with Sylar walking toward Mohinder, all naked and dripping blood... OMG. It gave me chills! You do such an amazing job with the imagery, as with other moments like when Mohinder crushes the pellet and Sylar coming up behind Mohinder and putting his hand on his chest. Going back to the description of Sylar, again, I love - OMG, I'm being really repetitive with that word, but I don't know how else to put it! - that it really showed how Sylar is still dangerous and, as he explains later on, just because he's not necessarily interested in killing for abilities, doesn't mean he's all of a sudden a nice guy, or that he wants to be a hero.
Thank you so, SO much for this! I... you guessed it, loved it from beginning to end! It was an incredibly entertaining, enjoyable, and thought-provoking read. Mohinder was kickass, defiant, but still realistically and understandably conflicted, which is how I like him best, and you nailed both his and Sylar's voices - also, I thought it was fantastic that you set it up so that Sylar ended up goading Mohinder into going back and doing the right thing.
I really appreciate that you wrote all this for me, and I'm so happy that you're posting fic again!
