Heroes Recs

Home

Heroes seems to be a very LJ focused fandom. WIPs therefore abound and the lack of any one acknowledged formal archive is eminently frustrating as it is hard to find stories. The best place for Mylar fic is the LJ community mylar_fic (the nominations for the for the 2008 Mylar fic Awards are here and the winners are here ). An archive does exist for all Heroes fanfic Are you on the list?, but is not very well used at present. A few people post at fanfiction.net however most posting is on LJ. Below are some of my favourite stories, and if you're interested, here are my Heroes stories (one at present!)

Heroes Fan Fiction

 Updated 20.10.08

  • Soon, Love, Soon by cerebral fics Nathan doesn't look away. "Your life, for Mohinder Suresh's freedom. Do we have a deal, Mr. Gray?" Wonderfully intense and exciting read.
  • Strange Condition  by HariKari A month after the events at Kirby Plaza Mohinder visits another special individual from his father's list. This leads to an unexpected meeting with a certain supposed-to-be-dead serial killer, a kidnapping, and a battle with a man out for revenge, a man whose powers happen to rival even Sylar's.  An interesting and enjoyable read. I'm hoping for a sequel.
  • Ten Minutes by strangesicksad  Missing scene from Powerless. Sexual tension and angst plus great dialogue.
  • Tomorrow Never Came by mneiai Mohinder at the end of 5YG. and the sequel Waking Up Is Harder  dark, creepy and a good read.
  • Gravity by cerebel fics It's hardly a glance, just out of the corner of Mohinder's eye, but there's something, a catch of grey hair, a slumped figure, something, that makes Mohinder jerk, twist around trying to see. His heart jumps. Sylar. Wonderful, intense and painful story.
  • What you wish for by cerebal fics Matt Parkman realizes, finally, who's in the Oval Office. Clever and chilling post 5YG. Also answers the question, how could Matt not have known!
  • Save Me by cerebal fics Mohinder swallows. "Molly is nine years old," he says. "You're not." Interesting what if?
  • Bone Deep by Sorrell You know how they say you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family? Well, that's crap." An all involving one shot with fascinating Mohinder/Sylar interaction.
  • Enhanced AU by Icalynn consisting of Enhanced, Evolving, Fragments, Elite and Acclimation. In 'Five Years Gone' we were presented a future where those that had abilities were hunted down and my thought was, what if it was the other way around? A long and fascinating story based in the potential universe of 'Five Years Later
  • Vermin by Isagel Heroes/X-Files If you climb down into the sewers, be prepared to meet the rats. This WIP is fascinating with wonderful characterisation. The pairings are Mulder/Krycek and Sylar/Mohinder WIP
  • Psycho Magnet by mabes Mohinder is leaving, finally, and running from Sylar's games. Or is he? A very creepy, unstable Sylar obsesses over Mohinder! WIP
  • Pick Up the Pieces  by catoasapun After the events of 'Powerless,' Sylar once again finds himself in control. However, when it comes to a certain geneticist, he finds he may not have as much control as he thought. Lovely development of the Sylar/Mohinder relationship, fraught, tense and schizophrenic as it is. WIP
  • Understanding by Tiana Immediately after the finale, Sylar finds himself drawn back into Mohinder's life. Long, well plotted and intriguing story with a big cast of characters, but focused on Sylar and Mohinder overall. WIP
  • Waiting at your door by shona In a world where Mohinder found his father murdered with a vampire bite on his neck, every night he hides as the monster in the dark waits to take him next. Very, AU, very tense, angsty and gripping.
  • Broken Glass Universe by motsureru consisting of Broken Glass, Any Other Night and Victim of Circumstance. There was Sylar, sprawled out in the form of everything he had poured his life into for the past six months. His research, his father's list, the fold-up travel map from the car, the broken tea cup on the floor. There was Sylar, burned forever into his memory; perpetually smoldering at the heart of his existence. A disaster left to waste. A long, highly enjoyable trilogy and an excellent read. The journey for Mohinder and Sylar was wonderful with the author managing to maintain Sylar's appealing and sexy dangerousness while adding in warmth and humanity through his love for Mohinder, while Mohinder was his delightful, serious yet charming self, easy to dismiss initially, but you never make the same mistake twice. All three sections had their own magic, but I particularly loved the last part, Sylar's time with the watchmaker, his chat with Mohinder's mum, Mohinder's knock out of Sebastian, the Haitian, Bennet... oh everything!
  • Do Over by shona If his relationship with Mohinder was broken, Sylar knew of just one way to fix it, he paid a visit to the Haitian. Angsty and perfect. In some senses you feel sorrier for Sylar than Mohinder with his desperate fight for Mohinder's love, but then you see what he's willing to do to the man he supposedly loves and you hope that somehow Mohinder can fight back.
  • All Around the World, Acquiesce and Don't Look Back in Anger by Megaatthews20 Mohinder is searching for Sylar and gets more than he bargained for. Sylar going after what he wants in a rather convoluted manner.
  • Twenty One Tokens by doctor caduceus Mohinder has a secret admirer. I really enjoyed this story. The first half made me laugh like a drain a number of times, the second half was more serious and thoughtful, but with delightfully funny little passages. Overall an original and intriguing take on Mylar.
  • As If Sorry Could  Make Up for This by Tinkering What is President Petrelli to do with his dear friend Mohinder after this betrayal. He only wants to keep him safe. Another 5YG AU. Mad, bad and dangerous to know Sylar decides to keep Mohinder all to himself, and to personally bathe him as well after allowing him a choice of lotion and soaps of course! WIP
  • Token by Lady Vader  Mohinder regain consciousness after the final scenes of 5YG. For the 10 Word Challenge: Stained Glass. Tense well written fic with Mohinder's rising panic as he slowly understand just who it is he's talking to beautifully depicted.
  • The Illusion of Life by toestastegood President Petrelli always gets what he wants. Beautifully written and very creepy. Another great 5YG story
  • I Count the Hours Since I Last Saw Your Face by Squills Mohinder finally realizes there's a way he can trap Sylar. The problem is, pretending to care about someone for too long can make you actually start caring about them. Lovely and interesting story that made me smile at times.
  • Unwanted Power by K-wit Written for mylarfic's 'special mo' challenge. What price will Mohinder pay when Sylar decides to make him special too? Very creepy and painfully good.
  • The Date by K-wit Mohinder tries monkey brains. Go wild with it. AU, somewhat disturbing and yet fascinating.
  • Continuing by TeeCub A tense morning leads to a lot more than Mohinder may be able to handle. Four, Five An interesting story that becomes more intriguing at it progresses. WIP
  • Something Good by semi creative Five years after the events of "Parasite," Mohinder uneasily works for Nathan, but an unexpected visitor turns his world upside down. Lovely characterisation and a fascinating and twisty time line culminating in heart break and yet new possibilities.,
  • Heroes Slash Short Fics by K-wit A bunch of slash short fics and drabbles. Mostly Mylar A good 100 drabbles and shorts, all worth a read.
  • The Luxury of Regret by Ladywilde All Sylar wanted was a second chance. Angsty Mylar, sniff!
  • Warm Rain by motsureru Amidst a world where time surrounded him that was all his own, Gabriel thought himself not happy, but relatively satisfied. But in a single second, his mildly satisfactory world had changed. This is Mohinder/Gabriel and really needs reading twice to do it justice.
  • With Great Power by original tinks Matt gets mad at Mohinder and inserts a bunch of false memories of of Mohinder and Sylar being in love and it all ending badly when Sylar cheats on him. Due to the false memories Mohinder is suddenly heartbroken but then decides to make Sylar pay for his indiscretion only to have something actually happen between Mohinder and Sylar. We cleverly get to see and hear the events through Matt and this makes this story both angsty and amusing.
  • For Them by toestastegood fics set in the same 'verse as 'For Them', a future!fic one-shot in which Mohinder and Sylar have finally come to a non-violent agreement: as long as Mohinder does as he's told, his friends are safe. These interesting, somewhat disturbing and well written stories can be read in written order or chronological order.
  • Something Like Seduction by toestastegood He's never tried to court someone before, but he's certain that it can't be too hard. Sylar pursues Mohinder in his own inimitable manner!
  • What Goes Before by wonderbread9 Mankind went one way. We another. Their End is Final. Ours is Not. A very intriguing AU with Vampires. WIP
  • Fast forward Rewind by Aurilly This is a Mohinder-centric story that will feature many of the characters on the show, too many to list. Starts a couple of days after Powerless. Sort of. Fascinating exploration of the Suresh family pre Mohinder's birth with interesting Mohinder and Adam interaction and somewhat tense but amusing Sylar and Molly interaction in the present as they wait for Mohinder to return. WIP
  • In the Writer's Room by Aurilly We all have our own hopes and speculations, but what do the heroes want for season three? Snigger!
  • Flowers of Madness by  depointedulac Mohinder sits at Molly's grave and grieves... only to be joined by a familiar face. Dark, creepy Mohinder mind trip courtesy of Sylar of course.
  • Darkest Side by mabes He can hardly work, hardly leave the apartment. He spends his time cooped up and watching their every move from afar... watching the world slowly turn itself over to their whim. "I feel like owning something beautiful," Sylar murmurs, eyes eerily focused and so dark they send an icy shiver down the ridges of Mohinder's spine. Sylar and Peter gone bad with a specific desire in common... WIP
  • Don't Worry by megmatthews20 Mohinder keeps having nightmares about his friend Gabriel, nightmares that are so real, so vivid, that they haunt him even while he's awake. One startling night he realizes the nightmares aren't his. They are the memories of the man he was cloned from. And suddenly his safe little world is turned upside down when he and Gabriel are forced to go on the run. A very clever, somewhat painful and involving AU. It'll Be Okay is original tinks 'official' sequel. A gripping, painful and ultimate tragic conclusion to this universe.
  • Korgano by Lady Vader Bizarrely based on the chase between sun and moon. For the 10 Word Challenge: Solar. Painful, sad and very well written.
  • Trick by Lady Vader Mohinder attends a Halloween party. For the 10 Word Challenge: Sticky, Candy, Share Very hot and sexy!
  • All My Sins Remembered by evil is pretty What would have happened if the bomb had gone off?... If Claire hadn't been given the chance to get away from her father and grandmother? If Niki and DL hadn't been able to stop Linderman? If Peter and Hiro had been left to face Sylar alone? Nathan sends Mohinder on a journey to find his brother in the aftermath, and along the way, everyone begins to discover that things aren't always the way they seem. Is followed by Borrowed Time and Hollow Heroes and the series is an absolutely, convoluted, involved and involving AU
  • Road (To Hell is Paved With Good Intentions) Trip by squills There are so many different ways to save the world...and so many different ways to screw it all up. Laugh out loud funny!
  • The Living Dead by levitatethis After the first attempt to take down The Company failed those left standing went underground to organize the Second Wave. Sylar, who had been MIA for years after leaving The Resistance in its weakened state, surprises Mohinder in Barcelona with some new information. Seether Set about a week after the dinner in The Living Dead  Peter has arrived in Barcelona to discuss Second Wave Resistance fighting tactics given the new information brought to light (about a previously unknown Company man) while Sylar tries to sort out where he fits in with regards to the bigger picture. Ricochet The reality of Mohinder and Sylar having to work together again in the Resistance against The Company turns explosive in light of unresolved issues. Excellent characterisation, wonderful dialogue, angst and seething resentment makes this a glorious Mylar read.
  • Choices and Times by megmatthews20 On a dark night, Mohinder makes a mistake that has incredibly dire consequences An AU 'Silence of the Lambs' influenced story which is really well done and very convincing.
  • The Road to Redemption by Ladywilde The organizations newest field agent gets off to a rough start with his new partner as both of them accompanied by Claire start off on their first assignment together A long involved and fascinating story that grabs you by the neck and keeps you reading into the night!
  • O Holy Night by evil is pretty On the holiest of nights, the devil asks for forgiveness. Very well written and so very, very sad.
  • I will follow you into the dark by cerebral fics  "We'll kill him," says Sylar. "We'll kill him, together." Dark, twisted and a great read.
  • Ripples by levitatethis A touchstone of firsts as Mohinder and Sylar's relationship becomes something more the second time around Beautiful and romantic.
  • Stay by levitatethis In the future Mohinder and Sylar are working together with Bennet. After a long time on the road they finally return to New York but with a far different perspective than when they left. Another beautiful piece.
  • Magnet by levitatethis Mohinder is surprised at his lab by Sylar and Adam Excellent and involving dialogue piece with so much going on underneath.
  • If you were the last man on earth by seraphtrevs AU - It's been a year and a half since the Shanti virus dropped and devastated the planet. After refusing to conduct inhumane experiements in the search for a cure, Mohinder is made into an unwilling test subject by his former colleagues. When Mohinder thinks that things can't get any worse, he is unexpectedly rescued by Sylar, who has plans that include world domination, ultimate power, and domestic bliss. Mohinder isn't sure he's better off. Wonderful read with delightfully quirky humour throughout. WIP
  • Empire State by doctor caduceus In a 19th Century America still under British control, the West India Company has a special assignment for Captain Suresh. Really fascinating AU with lovely use of the regular Heroes characters. WIP
  • Fallout by levitatethis Against better judgement Mohinder and Sylar are teamed up together to track down a potentially destructive Special. Sometimes I wonder why I just don't rec everything this lady writes! Beautiful dialogue and a cleverly written sense of wrongness with a lovely glimpse into how a partnership between Mohinder and Sylar might be.
  • The Love Song of Gabriel 'Sylar' Gray by hackthis Mohinder and Sylar are both men of science. They are both striving to achieve the same ends: creating and protecting a world they deem worthy of themselves. Gabriel and Sylar's fascinating musings on Mohinder.
