Fic Week Fic: Heroes, "Power Play"

Hooray, I got my computer to work! Have some violent dubcon porn, because that is... clearly what snowy Saturday afternoons are made for?

Title: Power Play
Fandom: Heroes
Pairing: Mohinder/Sylar
Rating: NC-17
Spoilers?: Up through the season one episode "Parasite"
Word Count: 2,780
Notes: I wrote this way back when Heroes didn't suck, mostly because I wanted fic with dubcon and really aggressive Mohinder and couldn't find any. I've only written one other porn fic ever, so I'm not sure what that says about me.

Summary: After Sylar escapes from his curare paralysis, Mohinder tries to wrest back some control.

My turn will come again. )

AVATAR (THE ONE WITH THE BLUE PEOPLE)

So while New York is getting buried under mountains of snow, we went to see Avatar! In 3D!

I have thoughts, but I am tired out and cold and kind of tipsy, so suffice to say, it was not half bad. My recommendation: Just assume right from the get-go that you're not going to get even a remotely original story, prepare to be completely unsurprised by everything, and understand that the plot is pretty much secondary. This is all about the pretty, pretty world and the pretty, pretty characters. And shell out for the 3D, it's worth it.

eta ALL THIS SAID, I revise myself the next day: If you have problems with the Dances with Wolves/Pocahontas/etc. "white guy assimilates into native culture and becomes the savior of a dying race" trope, you will have a problem with this story. I managed to enjoy it anyway -- mostly because, like I said, I just switched off my brain at a certain point and went "ooh" -- but it's definitely there. I mean, it basically reads like Cameron saw Dances with Wolves and said "I want to make that with aliens :D" and didn't update at all for 15 years, so take that as you will.
