This is beautiful

Oh YAY, I am simply delighted that you liked it! :) I didn't stick too closely to your prompt, but I'm so glad it worked for you anyway - it was all about Peter and Neal, after all, even if it was different versions of them.

I like to think that Neal's (and, in the last case, also Peter's) impact on the AU versions of themselves was enough to give them a little bit of a push to a better future. Not enough to fix everything, of course, but enough to start them on a slightly better path.

Thank you so much for the inspiring prompt! :)

*flails* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! *huggles* Oh, this makes me want to watch White Collar again! Oh Neal and your deep, deep love/concern/friendship for Peter! Oh Peter and your "So, you're going to stay here, right?" And Keller, even though I have no idea who you are, you are fantastically evil(ish) and the whole slipping into another reality and how you made it "unuseful" (because otherwise it would be an awesome thievery tool) and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

*grins* Thank you! I'm really thrilled that you liked it. :)

I had to work hard to come up with a reason why they couldn't just use this power to get out of every problem. *g*

This is fantastic!

I love how each of the different realities sheds light on "our" Neal and Peter. And I like the strength of trust between them.

I also love the coda. It's nice to see there's hope for that other Neal. :)

[sholio]

Thank you so much! I do think there's hope for him - for all of them.

Original, magnificent and wonderfully written. Well done!

[sholio]

Thank you very much!

This story scared the heck out of me. Even though I knew you weren't going to kill off the Neal and Peter from our universe, my pulse is still pounding! Apparently I care about ALL the Peters and ALL the Neals!

I'm glad you gave the AU Peter and Neal a happy ending. I'm even gladder you gave ours one.

[sholio]

Apparently I care about ALL the Peters and ALL the Neals!

Hee! Me too! Which is why I had to give at least most of them a shot at a better future - I couldn't just leave them lonely and sad, any more than Neal could. *g*

But especially our guys, of course.
