White Collar: Black Despair

Written for a prompt in Collar Corner, "Episode tag to 4x05; missing scene where Peter takes Neal to the cemetary". Formatting is deliberate.

Oh, Neal. I really like how you described him here, his struggle to keep everything contained.

[rabirhek]

Thank you very much. It's wonderful to hear the feeling got across. :)

This is lovely. I can easily imagine this as a missing scene from the episode. Besides the look at Neal's grief I like the little looks into his relationship with Peter too, how well Peter knows him.

Thank you so much! It's great to hear this came off realistically. :)

Oh Neal! *hugs* This was great and felt realistic, both with Peter knowing Neal so well, and with Neal trying to keep himself together and not break down.

[rabirhek]

Thank you! I always note in the show how well Neal puts up a facade, so it's nice to hear it came through well in this.

It's perfectly written. The grief and despair come across in the whole interaction between Peter and Neal.
