fic: the key to successful negotiation is in the fine print, heroes, nathan/peter

i've had a headache these past two days, and urgh, i'm not sure why and i can't make it stop. too much reading of porn, not enough? what's up with that anyway?

anyway, moving on. somewhere along the way i decided that what i really needed to write was peter/nathan kid!fic? in which peter is the cutest little boy on earth and nathan is...nathan. and then there was this prompt for the Nathan Petrelli Memorial Kink Meme, so i started writing that, but it got a bit out of control AND veered quite a bit away from the prompt, and then i ended up with five-thousand words of it, as you know, one does? so right, hey:


the secret to successful negotiation is in the fine print
nathan/peter, r-ish, pre-series, snapshots through the years.
thanks to anansie_s for the lovely beta, characterization-whipping and fixing up my rather terrible grammar.

let's talk about the weather

i just read that numbers (or numb3rs, ahaha) is on the verge of being cancelled. which is a damned shame, honestly, because i really enjoy the show. far more than the inexplicably popular NCIS - which rah-rah jingoism, casual homophobia and such i get, it is in fact possibly an accurateish depiction of these people (or not? i don't know, and possibly don't care), but it is deeply unpleasant to watch, although NCIS:LA, not so much! possibly because LL Cool J automatically makes everything okay? but! where was i?

Numbers! which is an awesome show mainly because the cast are so obviously fond of one another/have worked long enough together that their banter comes across as natural and enjoyable - plus there's the geekery, the love of science and math! even as most of the FBI agents don't actually understand charlie/amita/larry most of the time, they clearly respect them and value their opinion, and i don't know, i enjoy the show, why do they want to take it away from me? (i'd also like to point out that they have surprisingly diverse cast - three of the four main supporting characters are african-american (two of them are women!), amita is indian, even the epps family are jewish if you want to get technical about it. so that's nice, hey.)

but also apparently heroes is still "on the bubble", which come on guys, renew/cancel it already i really feel like i am tired of waiting to find out.

although i'm pretty sure i will watch every upcoming episode of the new season going "needs more nathan", but that's a given, you know?

co-journaller has disappeared off the internet, and i am bereft.

also i really want more nathan/peter icons. what? we don't have enough, okay. mostly because we keep using the ones we have and now i'm just like "more, please?"

ETA: my head still hurts, i can't sleep, why do mornings even exist omg!
