Jabberwocky

[aunt_zelda]

Title: Jabberwocky

Rating: PG-13 ... or so …

Genre: Inter-locking poetry, angst, smut, DEATH FIC.

Warnings: If you haven’t watched all of Season 1 of Heroes, you shouldn’t be here, you should be at nbc.com catching up!

Disclaimer: Uh … obviously I don’t own Heroes, because if I did, I’d have Mylar making out on screen instead of in slash fics or my twisted mind … and Lewis Carroll wrote 'Jabberwocky.'

Summary: Mylar with Lewis Carroll’s poem ‘Jabberwocky’ in between. Damn Peter …

My Thoughts: I love this poem more than life itself. This is just something you should all know. It came to me when I was writing the Evil!Mohinder fic (yes, I’m random and weird!) And this took a rather depressing turn, I’m afraid … then again, I always pictured the Jabberwock kinda like a dragon, and I hate it when dragons are killed, so …

(I get a kick out of picturing Peter resting by the Tumtum Tree – it makes me giggle.)

 

 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

It was rainy, cold, and misty in NYC that night. But inside the apartment, tangled up with Sylar in bed, Mohinder had never felt so warm and alive.

 

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!"

 

Sylar could kill him at any time, Mohinder was aware of that. But did it really matter if death was seconds away so long as he could feel like this until the end?

 

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought—

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

 

Peter took Hiro’s katana and teleported to Mohinder’s apartment. He paused outside the door, using enhanced hearing to figure out if Mohinder was still alive.

Panting, gasping, moaning.

Peter staggered and felt sick: Mohinder was alive, but he was probably wishing he wasn’t.

 

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

 

They were so locked together, so amerced in each other, that even Sylar’s hearing didn’t pick up Peter creeping inside, drawing the katana, striking immediately.
Hiro would not have done it; he would say that to attack an enemy when his back is turned is cowardly.

Peter doesn’t care, so long as Sylar is dead.

 

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

 

Blood. Everywhere. Blood.

Peter wipes the katana on the bed, sheaths it, and drags Mohinder away from the body.

 

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

 

Mohinder stared at Peter. Peter averted his eyes.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get here fast enough, I could have stopped …” his voice trailed off.

Mohinder is silent, staring at the corpse and all the blood on his bed.

“Um … why don’t you uh … take a shower,” Peter’s not sure how to deal with rape victims. He’s no psychologist. “I’ll take care of … that.”

Mohinder nods dully and flees to the bathroom.

 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

It was rainy, cold, and misty in NYC that night. Mohinder had never felt so frozen and dead.

Great job using the poem!
I love that poem more than ... well, anything, I'm afraid. If I ever get married, I'll love the poem slightly more than my spouse.

poor Mohinder, wonder if he'll ever tell Peter the truth.
I don't think so ... what would you say? 'Um, Peter, Sylar wasn't forcing me at all! I loved him!'

(What's your icon from?)

I don't know just kinda thought since he was a slightly on the evil side Mohinder, that maybe he'd tell Peter as revenge, knowing that as emotional as Peter gets this would probally crush him to know he killed someone's lover, even if it was Sylar.

That's Ianto Jones from Torchwood, the adult spin-off of Doctor Who. If you've never seen give it try, it's starts on BBC America in Sept I think. And it's already playing in a lot of other countries. I personally love it because the Slash is actually CANON!(granted it only a few kisses, a dance and inuendos but that's more than we usally get). The icon was created by gemstar69.

Interesting idea ... but there's no sequel I'm afraid ...

I've heard of that ... I plan on watching it because it's on Supernatural Saturday on BBC America and that's when I have access to cable. Slash is CANON?! *jumps for joy*
That icon is hot. Who are they? (Isn't that guy Jack - who had Ten's hand in a jar ... that was just weird - in Torchwood?)

[misstitania.livejournal.com]

That Icon was of Jack and Ianto in episode 5 i think, called Cyberwoman, okay yes the Doc's hand in a Jar is icky, but there is a reason, it's like a Doctor's dector, let's Jack know when the Doctor is nearby, and Jack really really needs to discuss something with Doc, left over problems from being brought back to life on the Game Station. That hand also plays kinda an important part in DoctorWho Season 3. So as it icky as it is it's a important plot part, but the guy who came up with needs mental help :)

Won't spoil to much but my favorite episode is 12, which a slashy version of those classic world war 2 romance movies. That's what this icon is from.
*sighs* yeah I'm obessed with DrWho and Torchwood, that's how I got pulled into Heroes in the first place, cause of the actor who played Claude plays the Ninth Doc.

It's just odd to see your second episode of Doctor Who and have Nine replaced by Ten and some guy toting a HAND in a JAR grabbing onto the TARDIS. I didn't get that episode AT ALL. Who's the other Time Lord? He was pretty badass towards the end ... wait, maybe I don't want to know ...

but the guy who came up with needs mental help :)
Then again, so do most slashers. Myself included.

Won't spoil to much but my favorite episode is 12, which a slashy version of those classic world war 2 romance movies.
Oh I can't WAIT for September! Heroes, Doctor Who, and Torchwood! I may die of sci-fi happiness!

Wait...what? The slash is cannon! I have BBC America! Totaling watching Torchwood and Dr.Who this Fall. They had stuff for Torchwood at the comic con last week but I never heard of it so I didn't pay attention to any of the stuff..(kicks self)
