Review:

In another time, another universe, Gabriel Gray gets what he deserves when Chandra Suresh’s son comes to him with the intention of finishing his murdered father’s work.

Sylar is by far my favorite character in Heroes, because he just has so many facets to his character. There’s the sociopathic serial killer, willing to carve a bloody swath of victims to get what he wants, the trickster with a thousand different faces, and the morally gray villain who envisions himself a hero, but there’s also poor little Gabriel Gray, the sensitive watchmaker who dreamed of being special, and had his heart broken when Chandra Suresh said he wasn’t. He’s by far my favorite part of Sylar, because, for all that he’s a total woobie, he’s still Sylar in the end, ambitious and greedy and willing to sacrifice everything to have his firm belief that he’s special to be validated by the world. But Gabriel had some hard knocks dealt to him, which then gave birth to Sylar, he of the sawed off skulls, and my tender fangirl heart weeps for him and his lost innocence. Alternate Universe gives Gabriel the happy ending that he could’ve had, and it’s just a really great feel-good romance. Who says serial killers can’t find love too?

 The Story Is An Abstraction
Fandom: Oz
Pairing: Beecher/OMC, Beecher/Keller
Categories: AU, Drama, Romance
Length: 
Medium (~7500 words)
Warnings: violence, m/m sex, some language
, references to character death

Author’s Summary: A story is an abstraction. He wanted something tangible, something he could hold on to.
Review:

A paroled Toby Beecher tries cope with his past through his writing, but it all comes rushing back when a particularly persistent interviewer comes to his doorstep. As they become closer and closer, Toby has to confront the unpleasant memories in Oz held in him, and reveal the truth behind his stories.

This fic is a remix of geneticallydead’s story Chrysalis, which I recc’d previously on ER (here, if you’re wondering), and it’s amazing. It's a little confusing and hard to keep track of the plot in the beginning, but it picks up later, and things become considerably less muddled. This story's a little grittier and more down-to-earth than its predecessor, but given the context on which this story was written, this is an incredibly poignant and sad story about dealing with tragedy and hardship.
