Summary: "Cop shoots himself in the foot: local news at 11."
Why: I love the way this story deals with the relationship between Matt and Mohinder and the difficulties of being Matt Parkman who is maybe attracted to Mohinder Suresh. This is definitely the Matt that I love from the series. And the way the author uses descriptions and little details to flesh out the story only makes it feel more real.

Summary: The back of the town car is air conditioned and dark, almosttoo much so after Nathan’s trip through the arid Nevada desert. Hiseyes ache a little from the lighting readjustment; he's never flownthat close to the sun.
Why: This is a missing scene from episode 5 of the first season, "Hiros". Basically, it's what happens in the town car between Hiro and Nathan. Why should you read it? Well, it has an amazing Nathan voice. It's actually pretty amazing to me that this story, written about 7 episodes into the series, is still so perfectly right for Nathan. Also, it has Hiro in it, and what story isn't made better by a little Hiro?

Summary: It's sunny out. Hiro had almost forgotten what that was like.
Why: Although parts of this have been made impossible by events later in the season, I stil really liked this and the way it all fits together. It's a compelling look at what the future might have been like and a good lead-in to that fateful meeting between Peter and future!Hiro.
