Oh, Peter! I love him still looking after Neal from his hospital. Thank you for the fill!

You're so welcome--thanks for the great prompt! I love Neal and Peter's relationship, and I could very easily picture Neal snapping in a way he wouldn't normally if someone hurt the man who's become a father to him. I'm so glad you enjoyed it; thank you! :)

Oh, this was really lovely! I felt that you kept Neal very much in character despite having him go a little darkside, and I really enjoyed seeing Neal in protector/defender/"don't hurt my Peter!" mode here, and Peter pulling him back from the edge, even after just coming out of surgery. And Diana and Jones looking after them, too, in their own way. :)

Thanks so much for the words about Neal--I was nervous about writing him like this, since he's shown in canon how averse he is to violence, and I couldn't get a grasp on him being violent! Like I said above, though, I felt that if anything would make Neal snap, it would be someone hurting Peter. I'm so glad you liked it; thank you!

I really like this. I agree that even though Neal is non-violent he has to have a breaking point. I think that he, like most people could snap if someone hurt someone he loved.

I love Peter looking out for him too even from his hospital bed.

I love the family relationship between all of them and like how you've displayed it here.

This was really great. Loved protective Neal and worried Peter. Neal being a bit angsty but stopping after the call.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

Peter has an uncanny ability to read Neal's mind at times like this, nicely done.

Thanks for sharing.

He really does, which is why I think they work together so well. Neal can be reckless, but Peter can anticipate that and rein him in; it's exactly what a good boss (and father figure) should do!

Thank you for reading! :)
