OMG, this is thrilling and dark and chilling and just... brilliant. Dark and brilliant and lovely in this haunting, painful way... very beautifully done, love, I would love to see what happens next, but this piece is clearly complete on its own, too :P Brava!! :)

Gah! This is gorgeous and heartbreaking and chilling. I love the steelier side of both Elizabeth and Neal you show here, and it feels very much in character. I just wish the show would go a little darker (and more psychologically realistic) like you have here ;)

OMG! THIS! Dark and disturbing... just brilliant. Something the show will never let us see in canon, even though it is there. When you expose it, it feels like it's always been there, it's part of who they are and what they are capable of \o/

Wow! Thank you for posting :D

I like Keller as the reason for El turning to Neal like that. It makes much more sense this way. What Neal doesn't realize is that no matter what he does here, he's hurting Peter.

Well you may not know what this is but it is really good. :) It doesn't feel out of place or out of character. I like that the end is left open as to what happens next.

And I love this line:

The queen protects the king, and her knight moves in crooked lines.

Thanks for sharing.
