Why this must be read:
*waves* Hi! I amsansets and I am your Heroes reccer for the month of June. I read and enjoy many pairings, both 'cesty and non-cest, so I hope to be reccing a little something for everyone this month.
I am starting out with this wonderfully distopic future. They saved the cheerleader, but once the world learned of the existence of those with abilities, they turned on them. Peter and Nathan fled to Mexico, and are trying to re-start their lives in hiding. There are so many wonderful parts of this fic that I don't even know where to begin.mandysbitch starts with beautifully quiet desperation, and moves through a story that ends with an equally beautifully quiet hope.
Peter finishes unpacking the boxes. “Did you get any soap?”
Nathan throws up his hands. “I bought four boxes, two bags and three tanks of diesel and you’re not happy because I forgot the soap?”
“It’s okay,” Peter says. “It’s just soap.” Water is scarce anyway. They swim in the river when they want a bath.
Nathan sighs and holds a palm against his head. “Sorry,” he says. “It’s a long drive.” He puts his hand on Peter’s shoulder and gives him a light squeeze. “Hey," he says. “I got Cheerios.” He searches the boxes for the Cheerios, holds them aloft when he finds them.
Peter smiles at Nathan, placating as usual. For better or worse, this is their life now; no water, no soap, and arguments settled by the appearance of breakfast. They’ve been here six months and it’s beginning to feel like home.
