This was charming!

And I want cake.

You must have the fastest eyes in the West! I just posted this!

Working on this story made me want cake again and again... and that sure hasn't changed. Except I want the kind with major frosting, instead. THe lowbrow box mix chocolate cake, but with homemade frosting.

Thanks for reading!

I was bored and I clicked and, miraculously, you were there!

My nightowl luck wins again! :D

Oh this is perfect! It's so sweet - I love Mozzie helping Peter and of course they'd have a mixed menu for their different tastes. What an adorable fic; I just can't stop smiling!

halfshellvenus June 11 2011, 06:25:27 UTC

Oh, yay! I'm so glad you liked it!

I find Mozzie and Peter together kind of irresistible, mostly because Mozzie makes things so much harder than they have to be... and he just can't help it. If he trusted Peter more, he wouldn't be Mozzie.

But for Neal's sake, even Mozzie can bend a little.

It's funny, this is a friendship-fic where Peter and Mozzie's feeling for Neal are more reflected than direct, but it wanted to be written that way. And Peter vs. Mozzie is too good to pass up.

I'm so glad you liked it, and if you have any particular ideas or prompts for the next one, please let me know! ♥

Exactly, Mozzie's very IC here because he does have to be difficult, but he's willing to allow some compromise for Neal's sake. And I do love this way of showing their friendship for Neal, where we see how strong it is before Neal even appears in the fic.

I don't have any specifics in mind for the next one, but I know I'll love whatever you come up with!

This is lovely! Mozzie caving and giving cake and food instructions was perfect.

halfshellvenus June 12 2011, 05:21:21 UTC

Thank you! I get such a kick out of Mozzie and his tenuous dealings with Peter (who will probably never really understand exactly why Mozzie finds him so scary). :)

i love that peter wants to throw neal a birthday party because neal always sent him a birthday card from prison. and also that peter suspects it isn't actually the day neal was born. and also also that he knows to reassure mozzie that there won't be unknown law enforcement personnel at the party. and that they have nachos AND caviar, because peter's a nacho kinda guy and it's at his house, and neal's a caviar kinda guy and it's his party. and "he forgot i was the enemy for five whole minutes" - i love how peter and mozzie interact in general, even when they're not doing it for neal, but when they kind of gang up on him it's incredibly cute. and your mozzie is consistently good anyway, cagey and paranoid but a good guy underneath.

and also that peter suspects it isn't actually the day neal was born.
It isn't in Neal's or Mozzie's best interests to reveal those kinds of details, and Peter's smart enough to know that about them both.

but when they kind of gang up on him it's incredibly cute.
Neal doesn't stand a chance against the two of them together, and they're so much fun together-- mainly because of how Mozzie is, and the fact that he can't help it. I loved him waking up in the hospital after being shot, suddenly all panicked that his real name might be on his ID bracelet. Years of work down the drain while he was unconcious. Luckily, Neal was looking out for him. ;)

Thanks for reading-- I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

Ohhh, I loved this! :D I love the idea that Peter's returning the favor of Neal remembering his birthday before they even knew each other, and I love their banter at the end. Gorgeous.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you've gotten into this show-- it's such a guilty pleasure, and the character interaction between these three (in particular) is one of the major reasons it's so much fun. The prettiness and the flash are just window-dressing, really. It's all about the unusual friendships these three have. :)
