I love your references, Shakespeare, the Odyssey, etc. ,lot's of fun, And your characterization and world building were well done too. You turn a nice phrase.

A very beautiful yet sad ending but I found it to be very profound and poetic in its beauty. Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love this. I adore Hamlet and the quote you used was perfect. Goodness. The subtlety of their feelings and his admitting his, but not REALLY admitting it- fantastic. Sylar was believable and the AU you formed was great. Deep. Enrapturing. My eyes were glued to the screen.

Scrumptulescent. Really.

Great Job!

I read this at work, and honestly, I was close to tears. It is so beautiful AND quotes Hamlet, my favourite play by Shakespeare.

20 thumbs up.

I would like to say:

Holy ** this is amazing. <3 The ending especially. Just... wow.

*ahem*

I adore this - especially the last few lines. I hope comes back for her; he has to. They both need it.

Aw, man, that was kind of gut-wrenching.

[His shoulders tense and fall. “King Lear is a tragedy,” he retorts.
“I can’t recall the comedies right now,” she says.] I really love that exchange.

I knew the Hamlet quote at the end, but I've never read or watched King Lear, so I really enjoyed the passage Claire quoted. Up till now, I honestly had no idea to what your title referred.

That was such a pretty fic. I expect he'll be back, but the ending made me sad, nevertheless.

That was truly stunning!

And while my inner Lit-geek was cartwheeling at your wonderful use of quotations, I'm terribly pleased you didn't end it with Shakespearean...finality.

I feel honoured in having been able to read this fine work. Thank you for sharing!

Please tell me you'll continue this. If not, what an ending! The Hamlet quote was executed really well. Just... WOW!

Brilliant ending. Truly briliant.

E! I have shivers running all over me.

I hope he returns with the tide. Funny, how he keeps saying he's not being altruistic, how he just wants to kill his father... Maybe there is more to it, hm?

Wow! What a chapter! That was breath taking! I loved the quiet seduction. Awesome! :)

I HATE how effing beautiful this ending is. (I guess love wasn't a strong enough emotion.)
Honestly, this is so well written and fleshed out; it's full - unlike a lot of fics. I hope you understand my meaning.

Can't wait for more!

Beautiful chapter. Very good metaphor.

Wow! i love SYLAIRE together. This was an exellecent chapter. Keep writing

OMG.


That last little bit...about Sylar simply giving in, like the whole thing between him and Claire is suddenly too great for either of them to ignore, to refuse... its beautiful. Very awesome descriptions of their first...falling into each other? I guess?

Please update! I hope come morning Sylar doesn't totally freak and decide to run away. It would be funnier if he stayed and confused the hell out of everybody. ^^
