Title: What Miracle Is Wrought by Cerebel
Pairing: Mohinder Suresh/Sylar

Why this must be read: cerebel tells a complicated, heart wrenching story using the sparsest of fragments and the cross between Jericho and Heroes is genius. I can't think of a more fitting match. This post-acopalyptic verse is a world where abilities are important and morality needs to be pushed in order to survive, a world where people like Elle and Sylar are more than monsters - and just the idea of the people of Jericho having them on their side through their trials is amazing.

The bitterest irony is, of course, that New York survived.

Mohinder was at home; he’d called an early night, from the lab. And he remembers that Matt was there, and Molly, and that they were having dinner – doesn’t remember what dinner they were having, though. The details slip, after a while.

He remembers the interruption. The scream, out in the hallway. Remembers Matt pushing past him, out the door. Ready to offer help.

There were neighbors in the hallway. That never happened – never. Mohinder hardly ever spoke with his neighbors. Barely even knew them by sight. But that moment, they were all out of their apartments, all together.

“What’s going on?” asked Matt. “What’s happening?”

And one of them turned towards him, eyes numb, and said, “Turn on the radio.”
