Uhmmm. Games I haven't heard off. Must Google. Neal is a people person even when sleeping. My Dad used to blockage my Mom all the time in Parchesi and she get so mad at him. If the power went off, it would be Monopoly by firelight. Memories.

Heh. I'm a bit of a board gaming nerd, so there may be a few in there people haven't heard of. :)

Glad you liked it!

Awwww... So, sooooooo perfect \o/ I love everything about it - Neal being surrounded by family, cared for, happy even though he is hurt - awwww <3 And Peter and Mozzie banter is FTW! I love it when they do that.

Wonderful. Thank you :D

Thank you very much! I can never get enough of Neal being loved on by the whole family. Glad you enjoyed it!

I loved this! I snuck away from work for a few minutes to see if anyone had posted, and I was so excited to see your story.

The characters were all so well-written and everything made perfect sense. I love that they brought board games over to play with Neal. It was lovely. Thank you for sharing!

Hee! I'm glad I was able to reward your shirking of duty, then. ;)

I'm very pleased it all rang true for you. :)

Oooooooh yes, I love this to pieces! Poor Neal, but I love everybody coming to hang out with him and get him out of his mopey state. ♥

Thank you! <3

Apparently the only way I ever write WC is to whump Neal. Oh well. ;) Glad you liked it!

There's really no better reason to write WC fic!

What a heart warming fic this was, it felt just like a cosy blanket!

I loved how Neal was finally able to relax in the chaos of all the banter and arguments of his surrounding family. The fact that Neal would crave this kind of activity really felt true to me, plus I enjoyed seeing a little hurt Neal too!

Thank you so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Take care, ;)

Thank you very much! I think Neal has been alone for too much of his life. He needs the chaos of family around him. :)
