Why this must be read: This is crack, but contains enough tongue-in-cheek, real world references to keep it grounded. I love Mohinder’s POV in this. It explores his earnestness, his terrible communication skills, his nerdiness. It’s ostensibly supposed to be a Mohinder/Sylar fic, but in reality, most of the story is between Mohinder and Peter, and it’s loads of fun. Peter’s characterization is also great, highlighting how good he is with people, and also how flirty and slashy he is with everyone. The jokes here are not over-the-top, but rather sound like the kind of things that normal people would say. It also pokes gentle but hilarious fun at some meta aspects of the show.

Excerpt:
Mohinder Suresh felt stupid. Not oblivious, not negligent, just stupid. He didn’t know what had brought on this sudden wave of self-awareness, or why he suddenly wanted to sit down and read twenty volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica just to “catch up”.

It probably had some connection to Sylar. Ever since he saw Sylar in his apartment again, and felt that rush of adrenaline when he thinks Sylar’s about to do something sinister again, and got let down when he realized there was no way of winning, but felt utter relief that Sylar had not taken advantage of one of the million chances to kill him…again, Mohinder felt as though maybe something was going on in that deranged little mind of his that felt something for the Indian ex-taxi cab driver. And that’s when Mohinder realized he was stupid.
