Awww, more Diana and Neal time \o/ Love this! I was wondering if Neal had briefly gone on that self-destructing path after Peter's arest, I can totally see that happening but yeah, I also see Diana and Jones and the rest of the gang stopping him rather sooner than later.

Aww, when Diana tells Peter, he is so gonna have a word with him :D

Thanks for sharing \o/ It's great :D

Oh yeah, Peter is going to be furious with Neal XD

I'm really glad you enjoyed this! And that you liked the characterisation -- I definitely think that Neal can be prone to self-destructiveness, but no way is Diana going to let him get away with it :)

Your Diana is so spot on!

I loved this little fic. Of course she would be left in charge of the care and feeding of a certain CI. And, of course a certain CI would do something immensely stupid that Diana would need to scold him for.

Yeah for fic!

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you like how I write Diana -- I have so much fun writing her and Neal :D (Especially her yelling at Neal for doing something stupid. Which happens a lot :P)

There are not nearly enough Neal and Diana fics, so thanks for helping to rectify that with this charming story. I love that, even hurt and ready to pass out, he still asks if he can be the godfather. Thanks for posting.

I am always trying to make there be more Neal & Diana fic in the world :D I'm really happy that you enjoyed this, thank you!

AWWWW THEM. ♥ This is so great -- Neal not really caring about his own health & wellbeing, and Diana looking after him; and Diana telling Neal her secret. They are such sweethearts! :D

[frith_in_thorns]

They are the cutest! :D And Diana will totally not stand for Neal being reckless and self-destructive. (Peter is totally going to be furious too when Diana tells him :P)
