A/N- A collection of Heroes drabbles, mostly based on songs. Will be updated sporadically as I write more. I tend to do drabble exercised weekly, but I don't write much Heroes stuff anymore, so... Anyway, most pairings are fair game, but the goal is to keep the rating to T. Un-beta-ed, so all mistakes are mine.

Violet Hill- Coldplay: AU, Peter-centric

It wasn't supposed to have come to this. Peter wasn't really a fighter, despite his arsenal of powers. And yet, here he was, just a soldier in a war larger than any of them could have foreseen.

What Nathan had started with the Hunter could not be undone, and soon the country and then the world had erupted in violence. Terrified normal people would turn in their neighbors for anything; crazy specials with nothing to lose would go on rampages.

And in the midst of it, Peter was beginning to lose hope.

Stockholm Syndrome- Muse: Sylar/Claire, because Mylar would have been too on the nose.

It was the last reaction Sylar had expected from her. He'd never really believed in Stockholm syndrome; it seemed incredible stupid. Why the hell would anyone fall in love with the person who had kidnapped them?

Especially when it was a kidnapping of revenge, a need for bait.

It had started out as a simple plan. Kidnapped Claire Bennet; wait for Papa Bennet to show up to save his Claire-Bear, kill him. Easy.

Sylar hadn't factored in a run in with the US government or the need to flee to the wilds of Canada. No where in his beautiful, simple plan had been this cabin in the woods.

No where in this plan was Claire trying to jump him whenever he came within four feet of her. It was making things incredibly complicated.

And he couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be so bad to give her what she wanted.

Seven Deadly Sins- Flogging Molly: Heroes, Mylar

Sylar was pretty sure he had most of the seven deadly sins covered at this point. Pride? Check. Envy? Check. Gluttony? Eh… ish. Sloth? Well, not really. Anger? Of course. Greed? Certainly.

But what about Lust? Sylar was fairly certain he had managed to avoid that one. Or so he thought as he pulled on a stolen Ramones shirt. Of course that was before he had opened to door to find Mohinder Suresh.

Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)- Beyonce: Past Nathan/Tracy

When Tracy Strauss got even, she really got even. She smirked at Nathan from the arm of Augustus Fairfield, senator from California, and likely the Democrats next choice for presidential candidate.

Nathan was alone at a state function. How sad for him, Tracy though, pretending that the joke Augustus had just told had been remotely funny.

Totally Fucked- Spring Awakening: Because Denko is an evil bastard

It was at that point that Matt realized that he was not getting out of this. Denko sneered at him, hand hovering over the button that would terminate ever special in the holding cells.

Matt couldn't be responsible for that. The deaths of all those people he'd never met. The deaths of those he did know… Peter, Mohinder, Micah… Daphne. God, he couldn't let him kill Daphne.

"Alright," Matt said, his voice cracking. "I'll help. Just don't… don't kill them."

"Good choice, Parkman," Denko replied, and pressed the button.

Zombies!- The Mudbloods: Crack fic

"Why the hell do you need our help?" Mohinder demanded.

"Maybe we should hear him out?" Peter said.

Sylar stood in front of the pair, looking a little sheepish. "Come on, Mohinder, this isn't just about me."

"Everything you do is for your own selfish reasons!"

"Mohinder," Peter chided. Turning to Sylar, he added, "What's the problem?"

"So ya know all those people I killed?"

The looks on Mohinder and Peter's faces said that yes, they knew all those people he'd killed.

"Yeah… well… turns out that this kid I just met made… well… there isn't really a better word for it… zombies," Sylar confessed, eyes wide like he expected them to laugh.

Mohinder did. "Zombies? Are you insane? Do you really think we'd believe that, somehow, all the people you've murdered have now returned as zombies?"

Just then, the door burst open with a crash. Several zombies were trying to force their way into the flat, but prominent among them were Isaac Mendez, Chandra Suresh, and Elle Bishop.

"So Mohinder," Sylar asked conversationally, "there another way outta your apartment?"

"Fire escape's right out the window."

Where the Story Ends- The Fray: Mylar that started as fluff and then sorta mutated.

It was destiny that they end up like this. Mohinder could fight it all he wanted, but Sylar knew the truth. He loved these moments, rare as they were, when Mohinder gave in and accepted the truth for the moment.

Holding the smaller man close, Sylar kissed him with uncharacteristic gentleness. "I know that in a few minutes, you will throw me away from you and deny that I mean anything to you, but I love you, Mohinder."

"And I know that you love me too."

"I hate you," Mohinder hissed, forcefully showing Sylar away.

"That too."
