What I've been trying to say is that - IMO - there's still fluff in that, in the sense that Mohinder is happy when he's thinking about Sylar, and, while I don't disregard the fact that Sylar is manipulating Mohinder and lying to him during the road trip, I also don't disregard how Mohinder might have felt about Sylar. If I hadn't seen the slightest bit of a shared, genuine connection between Mohinder and Sylar during Season 1, (e.g. the way that they'd pat each other on the shoulders, when they'd talked so openly about their feelings and insecurities to each other, how they each validated each other in some way, Sylar keeping Mohinder as his advisor in 5YG, etc.), then I probably wouldn't have ended up shipping them at all.

Eh, me neither, of course not. But I just don't see why you would ship Mylar BECAUSE of their complex relationship, but ship it in a way that removes the complexity, and only ever focuses on one aspect of their interaction. The fluff. The angst. The hypothetical sex. Why not write them like they are on the show with all aspects of their personalities together?

I guess Mohinder's thoughts about Sylar started out, well, they started out wary and doubtful, but he grew happier around him during the road trip. Until they came to the motel, where Sylar's strange behaviour creeped Mohinder out a little, and the next morning brought the definite end of all possibly comfort he'd come to feel around him. Sure, if you set a fic during the road trip before they arrive at the motel... but that would feel incomplete to me, I guess. It lacks something if it just cuts Mohinder's changing feelings off at a convenient point just so the fic can be labelled fluff. And since I know what happens next in the canon, I can't pretend it's nice that Mohinder feels happy around the guy, thereby walking into the trap of the man who will kill an innocent woman the next day, and torture Mohinder half to death three days later.
