I hate Nathan too. Poor Peter! I hope he manages to get out of Nathan's custody!

Aww what a great story! I love the brotherly-love :)

I just wish there was a scene about, how Peter's first day at the clinic went :(

Looking forward to read more of this AU.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

Loved this story! Loved how loving protective and stern Nathan was at times with Peter

i love your stories. hope there's more stuff about the brothers.

nice

I absolutely LOVE this story. Is 'Echoes' a continuation? (I have read it so far and would be ecstatic for an update by the way) and if not, please continue?

You have the characters spot on! I just...this is my favourite Heroes fic ever. Anyway, i'll stop babbling...update?

*Hopeful smile*

Ok, this is the last time I am going to defend my UK version of spellings to those, like Emily, who felt the need to review and tell me that 'kerb' should be spelled 'curb'. I am well aware of both the US and the UK version of the spelling (as, apparantly, Emily is not) but, as the pronunciation of the word itself does not change, I see no need to spell it differently to how I was taught.

There are writers from many nationalities on this site, not just American and we are not required to spell to a common pattern. I appreciate all critiques and people who take the time to tell me what they thought, but honestly, if the only thought you had was that 'curb' was spelt incorrectly, and that thought didn't even extend to checking my author profile to see if a different 'language' would account for the spelling variation, then please keep those thoughts to yourself. They are very insulting.

Lastly, I apologise for the rant, I acknowledge that I *will* let the occasional typo slip through the net though I try to be thorough, and I do not mean to insult anyone, just make my position clear once and for all.

Thank you,

Polly

whoaah..cant resist to enlist this as one of my fav :D love petey so much...n im such a fangirl to 'brotherly love' brothers...was just wondering though, you kept referring peter as a boy; how old is he in ur fic?

Loved this chapter.

You are really a wonderful writer. I love your style whether ít is Gilmore Girls or Heroes. You get every person right. Peter is a little a annoying at times but totally loveable and with this big heart. And you got Nathan just so true to charakter. His attitude on the outside and his concern and love for is little brother on the inside. And I love that you dont have Claire involved. My favorit chapter is nine because there is so much heart to heart talk and I totally can hear Nathan/Adrian say the lines and make the little gesture which you describe. The same is with Peter/Milo. I hope the writers of heroes give us just such beautiful scenes in season three between the Petrellis as I have the pleasure to read in this story from you. If not they should ask you to write for them.

I really liked this story, but there was one thing that just got on my nerves the entire time is that Peter never used any of the powers the he has absorbed from Syler or Claire. Other than that this was pretty good.

I'm up to chapter three now and I'm really liking this! I'm usually extremely wary of AU; I just happened to read another ficlet where Nathan had Peter "detained for his own safety", and that was way off the chart for me. This one is different - while it's AU, it just could have gone precisely that way if Peter hadn't run into Claude. Everyone is wonderfully in character, and even Peter being brattish in chapter two was well explained. I loved the female staff's reactions to him. :D I also liked that you managed to bring the "love unconditionally" part into accordance with the fact that Nathan has had his brother declared mentally unstable. That was pulled off really well and believably!

The only thing I can point out that bothers me is the POV switch. I can see the allure, though. ;) You do great at giving the reader an insight into the characters, and all their points of views make perfect sense, but at times, the switches were jarring. Maybe it would be more consistent, and more traditional, if a new POV would get his own paragraph.

But that's really just a minor gripe. I'm loving this and will read the rest later :)

Very interesting story. I'm looking forward to reading some of your others as soon as possible. I love the way you write the interactions between Heidi and Peter. It sounds accurate from a cannon perspective and it's fun to read. You pay lovely attention to details, especially where emotions are concerned, thanks for that. It makes the story so much more enjoyable.

I did however have a question. In this universe: is Peter actually mentally unwell or did Nathan just manage to get him proclaimed as such? It makes a difference as to how I see the story and I'm curious. If Peter is actually just his normal self, why in the world is he taking the way Nathan treats him lying down? I've yet to hear of an adult younger brother who would let the older one boss him around like that no matter what the threat. Still it's a fascinating story and I very much enjoyed reading it. Thank-you for posting. Keep writing.

Apologies for the very delayed review, Polly. I like to read the chapter through at least twice before I leave a review and, after an initial read-through when you first posted, I haven’t had a spare minute to come back and re-read so I could leave a decent review for yet another great chapter.

From start to finish this story has had me hooked because it explored a very real possibility that would have made for interesting watching, had Heroes decided to pursue it. As they didn’t, I was thrilled to find you’d taken up the story where they left off. However it wouldn’t have worked without strong narrative skills to make a potentially good story into the wonderful one I’ve just finished. You demonstrate perfectly how a story doesn’t have to be filled with action-packed sequences to be compelling.

I loved that the situation finally made Nathan appreciate how good Peter is as a nurse. He’s always been so disparaging about his brother’s career that it was brilliant to see him realise what it took and why he should give Peter a little more respect.

I was glad to see them making their peace but ultimately coming to the conclusion that nothing was realistically going to change between them! I could definitely see that being the case since they’re such different personalities.

I’ll admit I winced slightly when Peter mentioned Mohinder at the dinner table. I just adore that even though he’s a vulnerable soul, he’s still got a stubborn streak a mile wide! You weave Heidi in brilliantly and you write her actions and dialogue as the peacemaker she appears to be in the show. My favourite part though was Nathan casually dropping Peter’s attendance at clinic into the conversation. He’s such an evil sod at times!

Anyway, as I’ve said before I’m really glad you’re continuing this storyline. You can guarantee I’ll be along for the ride!

All the best,

I love this story. I started to read it and just couldn't stop until now. To bad it ended. I would love to read more. Bu i gues that you should alwas stop when you're on top and not drain the story from all that's good with it.

It's actually a favorit, so now I can read it over and over again. And belive me, I will.
