Words cannot express how much I love this. It's hot and angsty and hot and hot.

I had to take a road trip with my boss yesterday, and he drove. He had a lot on his mind and was not in a chatty mood. So I read this while sitting in my boss's BMW as we cruised down the Garden State Parkway. I squirmed for 20 miles.

Thank you!

Thanks for the review - quite a compliment coming from one of my fanfic heroines. I'm kvelling. Also, I am encouraged to write more fics, so yay.

[elrhiarhodan]

You must continue writing. Without question.

I loved this on collarkink and I love it all over again. Lovely bit of angst and sweetness. I loved the dynamics of the characters. Also, I think El will find that drawing just lovely, and will want to meet Neal someday. ;-)

(That was a broad hint that I would love to see a sequel for after Neal is out of jail. :-) )

Thanks so much for your comments! A sequel...hadn't given that a thought, but why not? I'll add it to my list.

While I am BIG into P/E/N, I've never given a thought to how I personally would get them there. Hmmm, this is an interesting idea.

Wow. Great story. And a Casablanca reference. Here's looking at you kid.

Thank you. Man, I love your icon - is that your own photo?

[schnuffie]

Wooohoooo! Great story. *points at icon* PLEASE?

[rabidchild]

Thanks! *grins* I am a sucker for feedback. As for the icon: have at it - I just cropped a photo I found on the Interwebs somewhere.

The things I liked best about the pilot were the vulnerable looks that Neal had in prison when he was talking to Peter about working with him.

In your story I can just see the wheels beginning to turn in Peter's mind (not knowing that 3+ years later the role he would play in Neal's life again) as the combination of Neal's vulnerability, sex appeal and smart seep into his conciousness. I liked that you kept the respect for each other throughout the story, too!

[rabidchild]

Thanks for your feedback - I'm glad you liked it. The respect they have for each other and the fact that the show treats them as equals is what is so appealing to me. Well, and other things (see icon).
