Post-Prison Confusion [prompt & fill repost from round 1] anonymous April 26 2011, 00:06:53 UTC
Hi! I'm the author of "my lips have the sin," which is a WiP from Round 1. For whatever reason LJ won't allow me to add any more parts to the story there, so the mods have kindly given me permission to post the prompt/link to the old parts here, as well as the new material. My apologies for any confusion! Thank you for your help, mods!

Original Prompt:Neal runs for a reason that Peter understands but the judge doesn't, and he's sent back for life with parole. In prison the second time, when everyone knows he's been working for the Feds, he gets really messed up. He gets turned out and passed around and brutally abused for the first year or so. After a while, he realizes the only way he'll survive is to pair up with someone, so he has a series of questionable "protectors ( ... )

A small part of him. A small part of him that still woke up at 6:30 in the morning and avoided looking in the mirrors. A small part of him wanted to be back in prison. With Francois standing solid at his side and a routine that he understood, that was as regular as clockwork. Wanted to be counting down days where every second was planned, where every part of his life decided for him.

Peter'd bought his freedom.

But he shouldn't have.

He left the printout on Peter's desk, carefully opened and closed the office door behind him, went to the men's room, punched the wall until his knuckles bled, and waited for the work day to end.

*

He stopped working on the house. Left the opened cans of paint with pretentious, impossible names sitting in half-finished hallways. Sat in his room (too big, too old, too fragile) and stared at the spots of mildew on the ceiling ( ... )

The woman at the bakery reminded Brad of his mother. Only worse, because he didn't talk to his mother about his dating life, and he'd made the mistake of telling Marie why he’d started buying two donuts instead of one. Every morning she needled him for updates, teased him for being shy. He wasn't being shy, he was just...biding his time.

When he ran out of different kinds of scones to try and Marie started threatening to lace his baked goods with Viagra, he figured he should man up and actually, y'know, talk to Neal.

"I'd like to go out with you," he announced to Neal as they stood in front of the vending machine. Neal bent over and picked up the pack of gum he'd just bought. Brad inserted his coins and made his selection in silence. He pulled out his roll of lifesavers, opened it, and gave the first two-both green, which he hated-to Neal (who inexplicably liked them). "What do you think ( ... )

"My sister lived with an abusive partner for seven years," he continued, when it became clear that his answers were insufficient to allay Burke’s fears. She'd kept it a secret for six and insisted it just wasn't that bad for the seventh. When she'd landed in the hospital with her arm broken in four places, the police had stepped in and made it their problem. She was doing better, now. Physically and mentally. But it had been a long, hard, painful journey. "I'm not saying that I won’t screw it up," he said, because it was obvious that Neal was an emotional minefield, "but I know how to be careful. I will be careful ( ... )

This is terrific. I liked Brad from the time he changed seats with Neal so that Neal would feel more comfortable in the bull pen and yet made it look like it was for Brad's benefit.

You show us so much of Neal's pain but also how he is slowly working himself back.

What really gets me is that Peter bribed a judge to get Neal out. I imagine that last part of that chapter was that Neal didn't think he was worth it.

I also love the whole thing about Brad taking Neal out for some Italian and Peter calling it a cliche.

This whole story is so beautiful, so wonderful. It had been sorely missed and I'm so glad you've continued with it.

Thank you.

I am so happy you are continuing this, and I am really liking--and rooting for your Brad. And your Neal, still brave enough to try, is wonderful.

The first date was…awkward. His hands shook too badly for him to write very quickly, so the conversation was especially stilted. He had to force himself to eat. Brad devoured an entire steak and both of their salads. He also paid for the dinner and pulled Neal’s chair out for him and walked him up to the Burkes’ door after the date, but he didn’t lean in to kiss him.

He left Neal a muffin on his desk next morning. On the napkin he put underneath it he’d scrawled Second date? Y/N? because he was still in middle school. Neal circled yes, wrote Dork underneath it, and had butterflies in his stomach the rest of the day ( ... )
