Sorry about the late start, everyone! I'm iamtheenemy, and I'll be reccing some of my favorite Heroes stories this month.

Pairing: Hiro/Ando

Author Website: Mosca's Fan Fiction
Why this must be read:

My favorite loveable geeks remain my Heroes OTP despite the alluring pull of the Brothers Petrelli, and this fic made me happy. The slow way that this relatively short story creeps up on you is lovely. Hiro is time traveling and discovers something about his future.

While Ando drove east, Hiro practiced his powers. One of the subarashii things about his powers was, if he used them correctly, no one could tell. When he time-traveled, he was gone for a few seconds, but he was skilled enough now if Ando's eyes were on the road, he didn't notice. If, coincidentally, Ando checked his rearview mirror or changed the radio station, he was no longer concerned. He only asked, "When did you go to this time?"

Hiro would tell him about next fall's World Series, his first day of junior high school, the set of the Wonder Woman movie. Sometimes, Hiro would choose a date and place at random, just to see what was there. He had time to be curious and spontaneous. It was a long way to New York, especially with all the stops they had to make. Hiro hoped that by the time they arrived, he would have full command of his powers. A hero who couldn't control all of his abilities wasn't much of a hero, after all. Often, in Hiro's experience, those were the people who became supervillains, because their powers were stronger than their wills.
