Ah! Just what I needed. Thanks. I came here hoping for another chapter in Perdition, but, baring that, this will do just fine.

I do really love how you handle Gabriel and his internal struggles. The isolation and longing. And while I'm not a Claire fan, you handle her "just right" also. I can see them both in my mind's eye, with internal integrity to the characters and with interesting development.

Oh you are so right. That was great. I love that you don't have to be evil to be dripping with wicked sarcasm and dark humor. Maybe there's still hope for me. ;)

This was a really refreshing view of Claire and Sylar's relationship. I like how different this story is, though I'm a bit sad it's only a one-shot. I am looking forward to more of your work.

Poor Matt, kinda of. XD

Blowing and destroy shit is always good therapy! :D ...well, usually.

KILL IT, KIL IT!

*grins at the ending*

This fic was great. I always enjoy your characterization and humor. I only noticed one error, where he's "taught" with tension it ought to be "taut".

Loved the characterizations of both. I knew they could be friends. :-)

Nice writing.

simply brilliant!

Aw, man, I can't believe that didn't even OCCUR to me when Samuel called him a lion.

Omg, I used to LOVE PB and banana sandwiches . . . and I have all the ingredients . . . *strokes chin thoughtfully* (Note: I TOTALLY just took a break and ran to snack on peanut butter and banana.)

There is now no way I will NOT be able to think of Sylar as Matt's "little hitchhiker."

"She was coming for a visit, and she was going to get her watch fixed." YES! *airfist*

I love your description of the cuckoo clock and the watch shop. It's always been my absolute favorite Heroes location, and I think it's a shame we don't get to visit it more often.

Love her reaction to the pinot, lol. PB and banana sandwiches AND chocolate milk? What are you trying to do to me, Vespaer?

His "apology" rant-SO GOOD.

"I threw confetti and did a rain dance and sang that song from the Wizard of Oz and everything" Lmao. Also, I LOLed so hard at "Captain Whiny McChicken Sissypants." I sort of want to call someone that now.

“Why didn’t you just step over?” he asked as he disentangled her shirt from the barbs.

“Don’t make me say it.”

“Is it because you’re a midget?” That exchange is pure awesomeness (and I probably like it even more cuz I know how poor Claire feels).

Okay, I have to admit when I saw the alert for this, I was like, "ARGH! Volume 2!" And was SLIGHTLY dismayed when I realized it wasn't . . .

But, omg, I adored this entire fic. The angst, their hilarious banter, the Office Space reference, the sweet little ending . . . THIS is the way "Redemption" should end (*cough*andHeroes,too*cough*).

I think this is a great start-your writing style is fantastic and I love your versions of Claire and Sylar in this-and their interactions are very believable. I hope you continue this.
