Well, damn.

"SAW" was the first horror series that I was ever really invested in . . . You kind of blew my mind right there, the thought of anyone ever beating Jigsaw . . . no one wins at his games. (Except Dr. Gordon, kinda?)

How fitting for Sylar to gloat like that, too. He always seemed like the type to go in and monologue about something as simple as winning a game. Hee. And I LOVE the way you have him do it, using that damnable hearing of his. I always thought that that was the one power that everyone always underestimated in the great Gabriel Gray . . . hearing can be everything, if one knows how to use it. And, clearly, Sylar does.

Gah. So creepy, all of this. It's odd, but reading this story almost gave me inklings of trying to find something where Sylar and Saw work together, ish? I mean, they have a fairly similar principle on the quality of life, and those deserving of it or not. Neither man is really a sadist, but both are kind of bastards, left bitter by the ripening in their own self-righteousness . . . And were this not the case, I could still envision Sylar surviving one of Saw's traps, as easily as he does here.

Not gonna lie, I wish he'd taken Adam with him (I never minded Adam as much as some of the other pricks in that series) but then it wouldn't be half as dark, nor half as Sylar. You did a pretty swell job of tying together two different types of dark characters here, and the ending is wonderful, just as heavy as something Saw himself would have done. Well, I mean, he DID do it, after all.

This series is really fun. I have no idea if you're still updating it or not, but if so, I'd love to see more. Like, could you just picture Sylar and Hannibal Lector? Or him and Jack Torrence front The Shining? I'm sure there'll always be a way for Sylar to come out the better man, but even playing those situations could be quite fun. I'll keep an eye on this one, LOLz.

. . . Did you just . . .

Sorry, I think I thought too much into it. LOLz.

Like, seriously, part of me wants to smack the crap out of Sylar for just sitting there and reading a FREAKIN' BOOK while people are - hello - DYING all around them . . . and then, the antisocial part of me deeper inside totally agrees with his burying himself to the outside world. "I thought the whole point of this vacation was to do NOTHING." That had me in stitches. Jesus.

As slash, this was absolutely precious. I mean . . . kissing someone's hair? How skinkin' cute is that? And even though I'm taking it with a grain of salt, I can think of nothing more adorable that someone swimming out to the middle of the ocean to kill a shark just so we can enjoy our vacation together.

I was probably a little bit biased reading this, since all I could think of was Sylar, still in his sunglasses, cool and calm and gliding over the water up to this huge-ass monster of a shark, super-easily slaughtering the thing, and then merrily going about his way? (In my head, he's whistling, too.)

This was whacky and out-of-character and ridiculous and hysterical and fluffy-amazing. Totally what I needed after the last few heartbreaking ones. And I kinda envy how you go from serious to playful in the span of less than a thousand words. Very jelly, here.

Ooh, one more chapter! *YES*

GAH. My mind cannot handle all of these transitions between sad and tragic and funny and beautiful and terrifying again. OVERLOAD.

I probably shouldn't have found this as funny as I did . . . I mean, after all, I totally get that this was a take on "What if Blair Witch wasn't a WITCH?" and I totally respect the creativity that went into making this . . . But I was kind of also caught up in the idea of Sylar in his digs and trench coat, somewhere in the middle of the woods, trying and failing to get to sleep because of some doof running around invisible and trying to scare some stupid kids (for the record, I never enjoyed the original movie, only because I found the people holding the camera so irritating that I was eventually rooting for them all to freaking die . . .). But this was better than I was expecting. Really kind of different, the view of Sylar by himself, and (sort accidentally, but nonetheless) doing something . . . good? by doing something bad. Obviously, the man up and went and killed a bitch, but he potentially saved countless lives of other silly campers . . .

I'm not sure how to feel about this one. I guess that was your point, though? To make someone encapsulated, and then a little uncomfortable, in some unfortold situation? It worked. While the beginning was open and new, the ending was classic Sylar. Might make me insane, but I've always loved his kill scenes in the show; the acting is amazing, and it never fails to scare me just a little bit, that look on Sylar's face . . . Neato.

I see there's more chapters, so I'm gonna shut up and move on to the next bit. :)
