These were all nice! I think my favorite might be Diana accidently breaking Neal's arm. Poor Neal. :) I loved her bringing Neal the Italian Ice because she remembered him mentioning it and their conversation at the end. I also enjoyed the little bit of drugged Neal being very pleased to see Peter. :)

I also loved Peter bringing Neal pillows to prop himself up on so that he could rest in the Hard Sell one, Peter is just so sweet, <3 and Peter, Mozzie and June conspiring in the last part to push Neal and Elizabeth to talk. Lovely moment between the three of them at the end.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh, Diana, we all knew the day was coming... ;) I needed something with a little bit of humor to break up the set (not that a broken arm is funny, I'm not quite that twisted). I like drugged!Neal, too, but I try to use it sparingly. Of course, I'll READ everything out there.

I think Peter just knows what to do in situations where he has to take care of someone with physical aches and pains and needs, and we know he'll talk to Mozzie on the emotional issues. I'm a bit concerned that Elizabeth really will hold Neal responsible, on some level, and look forward to the new season.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments!

Awwww, friend, these are just perfect. What a lovely treat to wake up to :D \o/

I can't really say which one is my favorite, all of them have wonderful Peter and Neal moments that just melt me, with a touch of humor and a solid dose of angst, a mixture of friendship and care and forgiveness. So perfect \o/

Thank you for this. It made my morning :D

[calis_1st]

Wow, thank you, that means a lot to me coming from you.

Friendship, care and forgiveness - you nailed it, I think that is at the core of their relationship. Although I personally prefer that they have no need for forgiveness (but where would be the fun in that?) I think they've grown enough over the years that they really can get through just about anything, with a touch of humor and maybe a little bit of angst.

Thanks so much for your kind words!

I enjoyed these a lot. It's hard to pick a favourite, but I did especially like the tenor of the last one. Who can resist a hurt Neal?

[calis_1st]

I'm so glad you liked them. I think the stakes were highest for the last one and am just happy that it worked. Thank you for commenting!
