But you are willing to disregard how this is the first major step to Mohinder being emotionally and physically hurt like no person ever should be or deserves to be, because if you disregard that it's so cute how Sylar cares about him awwwww and there should totally be fluff about it who gives a fuck how Mohinder feels about it!

I didn't mean to give off the impression that I don't care about Mohinder's feelings. I wasn't even trying to imply that. What I was trying to say is, in that sort of flashback fic, it's interesting to read how Mohinder might have felt about Sylar, how he might have actually liked him as a person or as a friend, especially when those feelings are compared with the feelings Mohinder felt about "Zane" after he discovered his true identity. Just because their developing "friendship" - for lack of a better word - turned out to be a lie, doesn't mean that they never connected in a somewhat positive and genuine sense, unlike the other existing Sylar ships.

And with all due respect, I do care about Mohinder. I don't see him as some mindless hole for Sylar to fill, and I don't view him as "Sylar's twu love" or his BFF (well, except when I'm feeling particularly cracky). He's shown time and time again that he can one-up Sylar, and it's implied that Sylar views him as an equal, or a force to be reckoned with - to me, there's no way that any other character (canon or OC) could fill Mo's shoes, which is why I normally avoid fic like that, and that's why I don't ship, say, Sylaire, for example. My favorite kind of fic features angsty, in-character Mylar, but I'm not going to say that ANY kind of fluff is atrocious and should be banned, because that would be hipocritical of me - I've enjoyed reading plenty of good crackfic and AU fic out there that features a little or a lot of fluff.

I've cited instances in canon upthread where there are nice little moments between the guys, and if fic writers want to go off of those moments and explore them however they want to, I don't see what the problem with that is. I don't exclusively read PWP smut or death fic or crack/fluff fic for those two, so if enjoying different genres of Mylar fic makes me a bad shipper, then so be it. I like what I like, and I try not to knock people down for having their own perceptions of the ship.

Finally someone who agrees with me! Geez. I get attacked so often for my ship, even though they DID connect at first, and they had really sweet interaction together before things went ugly. Like, really sweet, and those blossoming emotions shouldn't just be ignored and forgotten.

But all my friends think I'm disgusting for shipping Brody/Claire. So what if he is a serial rapist, I want more fluff!
