Genre/Rating: Fluffy angst. Or angsty fluff. PG.

D'aww, I love this!

[frith_in_thorns]

Thank you :)

[sholio]

Awwww, boys. ^_^ Thank you for writing this! I love their mutual concern for each other, and falling asleep together. (hee, I hope Elizabeth took pictures!)

[frith_in_thorns]

There is totally something about these characters which means that I just can't stop writing them *gg* I'm really happy you liked this! It was a fun prompt :)

And Elizabeth totally took pictures, but she also made them breakfast the next morning when they were being hungover. *g*

"...I just can't stop writing them..."

You say that like it's a BAD thing...

[noiproksa]

Aw, this was adorable!
I like how we get little glimpses of what happened to get them there, and of course worried!Peter is always a plus! *g* (I'm talking about the wine looking like blood AND whatever impulsive stunt he pulled this time to help solve the case.)
Favorite bits include for one this exchange: "Least I didn't put my hands down on a load of broken glass."
"I wasn't intending to."
"That's my point." Heee!
And this sentence: Neal holds out his hands obediently and Peter tears open an antiseptic wipe that was apparently in reach and uses it to clean the cuts carefully. For two reasons, actually. One, I really like the image and think it's very sweet. But I also find the “that was apparently in reach” part hilarious on a meta level. *g*
And lastly: Neal leaning on Peter's shoulder and them dropping off to sleep like that - awwwww! :)

[frith_in_thorns]

Ooh, now I wish I could say that I was writing deliberate meta-commentary XD I can totally justify it, though, since Peter had just dropped all of those things everywhere :P
I am such a massive sucker for the "Neal falls asleep on Peter" trope :D But, of course, it's lovely comments like yours that encourage me to keep writing it, so thank you very much! :) I'm really glad that you liked this fic, and the way it fit together. It was fun!

Beautiful in its angst, but geez, El has to clean up red wine stains from tile!

[frith_in_thorns]

Nah, she'll sweep up the glass and get the boys to scrub the stains out ;D

[pooh_collector]

The tile will be fine, but the grout, oh gosh the grout.

[nynine]

Oh, very nice~ I love nestle-fic, and this one is paced just right.

[frith_in_thorns]

Thank you very much! :)
