"After a while it got easier to believe. To forget what I was doing until it just didn't matter anymore. But I don't want to forget. I don't want to be like him.” It was only when he turned his head and found the hero still watching him with that honest, earnest, undivided attention the way he always did, the way no one else ever had, that Sylar discovered why his secrets were spilling out of him of their own volition. Because Peter was listening to him. “Don't let me forget, Peter.”

This one's a pretty emotional chapter from start to finish - I hope all the feels make up for having to wait so long to read it! Enjoy <3

(tw: childhood abandonment, minor mention of self harm, romance)

So to make up for being MIA for so long, I return with gifts in the form of the longest MBtM chapter yet - a pretty important one too X) I hope you'll bear with me just a little while longer as I finally update and catch up with messages after far, far too long away <3

“I'm a killer, Peter,” Sylar said softly, “it's all I am.” Watching him, Peter swept his drying hair behind his ear where most of it refused to stay put. “I used to think that. Now I'm not so sure.” Sylar struggled to hide how deafened he was by the lack of alarm bells in his skull ringing 'lie'.

The closer he gets to finally finding his father, the more Sylar can't help but wish he could take even longer to get there...

I know I promised this chapter a while ago, and here it is, the longest one so far to thank you for your patience between updates! X) I look forward to sharing these events of the story with you and hope you think it was worth the wait!

Happy reading <3

On a good writing day, I somehow managed to finish the next chapter of Moments Between the Madness and almost the following one too! Now I can't decide if I should wait and post them together or not.

Our hungry fugitives make a detour for some breakfast, some vandalism, a little heart-to-heart and an accidental electrocution...

“What do you want me to say, Peter? The voices made me do it? I was possessed the whole time?" Sylar took a swig of coffee, making a show of it. “The truth is I've killed even when I didn't have my abilities. I could have stopped more than once and I didn't. So sorry to disappoint you but I'm no victim, and it's really not that complicated.”

The empath turned those eyes of his from the foggy, rain-speckled window back onto Sylar, if only to watch him squirm.

"I don't believe you."

New update up now! I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed choosing these gifs X)

Moments Between the Madness - Updated

Now on the road together, the unlikely travel buddies hit the first stop on their journey: Samson Gray's last known address.

"Sylar's expression was unreadable as he stared across Peter out the passenger side window. He had to be terrified, right? Away to walk in there and meet his father after all this time?

Yet even his breathing was steady. Despite the superhuman eeriness to it, Peter had to admire the guy's calmness and control: two traits he, himself, had never quite got the hang of."

Hello! Thank you so much for this, you don't know how much this lil' message means X') I wasn't sure anyone would still be here or remember me after I've been MIA for so long, but this is lovely, thank you <3

I love that you're so excited for the ending of ToF!!! I'm really, really excited for it too, can't wait to share it with you. I'll admit I've possibly been holding it back a little because I want the ending to be perfect, conclude everything it needs to conclude while doing justice to the whole fic and 6 years of work (yes, 6 years!!), but I can't hold it hostage forever hehe.
