A Guiltless Victim by Kate Andrews (NC-17)

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

Fandom: HEROES
Pairing: Peter Petrelli/Niki Sanders
Author on LJ: svilleficrecs
Author Website: a listing of her stories on del.icio.us
Why this must be read:

The episode Five Years Gone showed a dystopian future, and this story explores one of those future paths. Peter and Niki are both eaten up by guilt, and they act on it in ways that aren't exactly healthy. They might be the only two people who could understand the other, and offer a comfort that is in no way soft.

He understood why she let them attack her, understood the words she used to explain it to herself, anyway. The old Peter would have stopped it before it started. The old Peter would have looked away, gotten out of their heads before the attack or before the kill, but old Peter no longer existed. And this Peter had heard, Princess Leia-style, the voices of millions crying out, then the silence.

(That part of the movie was bullshit because if she really heard that, anywhere near like he heard it, she'd have gone insane. He did, for a little while.)
