Guh, I want to hug this fic until it yelps. Neal and Alex and Mozzie and JUNE and Paris. Paris. Oh Paris.
This is bitter and sweet and heartachey in a good way.

I love it <33333

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! I feel like Neal would want to be in a city, somewhere, and Paris felt right. Thank you so much!

[sholio]

Oh, this is exactly what I was hoping for and more! This is so lyrical and lovely and full of subtle, telling, carefully drawn details. It evokes a gorgeous mood that is both peaceful and melancholy. Thank you so much for filling my prompt! ♥

[florastuart]

I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for prompting - I'd had a vague idea of a situation like this in my mind ever since watching the finale, but your prompt gave me the inspiration to actually sit down and write it. *g*

great story, with a touch of melancholy that's hurts a little, but I'm happy for Neal and Mozz at the same time, and their New York family is still there, ahhh

[florastuart]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! I had a feeling they'd find a way to keep in touch somehow ...

This is - wow! Of course they would live in an apartment with a balcony over a bakery, and serve fabulous espresso. Your choice of movie posters is perfect. And I loved seeing Alex and June, too, and June being a mail drop. Can you tell I really enjoyed this story? Thanks for posting!

[florastuart]

Thank you so much for commenting! The movie posters were carefully chosen - I'm glad you liked them. And I wanted him to have a bakery. Just because. *g*

Oh wow, this is completely wonderful! I love all the beautiful descriptions of Paris, and the serene sort of air that's all through this fic. And Neal settling into his life, but with June as a link back. This is adorable and perfect!

[florastuart]

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it! I'm glad the descriptions of Paris work - I've never actually been there, so a lot of it's guessing. But it seems like a place Neal would fit in - for all Mozzie talks about retiring to a private island or something, I really think Neal belongs in a city.

And of course June is going to stay in touch, and make sure he is okay. *g*
