This! I love this take on everything that went wrong in those episodes--Peter's mistrust, Mozzie's pressure, even Neal's temptations when it came to all that treasure. But I knew it had to be different with an established OT3, and you delivered! Here, Peter gradually comes to his senses (starting even before Neal disappears, thanks largely to El) and the boys actually talk. And Peter and Mozzie talk--oh, and btw, I love angry&wrathful!Peter, and I love that they could set aside their differences for Neal's sake. Wonderful story. <3

I didn't set out to write fix-it fic, but I guess I did, LOL. But if the boys actually talked to each other, the show would've been over mid-S2.

This is absolutely beautiful! The way you showed Neal being torn apart emotionally and then physically is just wrenching, and I love how El was the perfect person to help pull things together.

Thanks! I think there's this undercurrent in the show where Peter takes Neal for granted a lot, and the original story and this one really explores that, not to mention my feels over the end of Under the Radar.

This verse needs so much more exploring!!! I love this so much - it is such a great idea - very good story, with lots of angst - and you know how I love my angst.

Aw, thanks. I don't think I have much more in me for this one, however.

Oh, wow \o/ This is just amazing! Yay, a sequel to one of my favorite stories and such a wonderful AU for the whole treasure mess :D

Poor Neal, so much angst and hurt and physical owies. But the way Peter apologized to Neal - oh, my *hearts* It is truly wonderful \o/

I'm glad you liked that - I suspect I went overboard on the Peter guilt, but he needed punishing...

This is great. I love the relationships here and all the fraught conversations where people say things that are hard to say

rabidchild June 7 2013, 09:26:06 UTC

Thank you! Those things are a lot easier to say in fiction, lol.
