This is great! Neal's thoughts are heartbreaking. I think Kate is a despicable person (so she will probably turn out to be a victim), but Neal loves her (or at least the idea of her, as Elizabeth said). I love the doubt and the self-recrimination he has, and his refusal to make a decision. It's very believable.

Thanks so much!

I'm leaning your way where Kate is concerned--I tend to trust Peter's judgment, so if he didn't think she was on Neal's side, I . But she may also be a victim; guess we'll have to wait and see. (I hope we find out one way or another!)

Meanwhile, I'm glad the doubt and self-recriination seemed real. I imagine Neal's going to be torturing himself with second-guesses for a while . . .

Thanks again!

Great fic! I expected Peter to tell Neal "Yeah, you are a tool!" and roll his eyes when Neal insisted on being just a tool in his belt. Ha!

Lol!

Thanks so much! One thing I love about Peter is the way he recognizes Neal as his partner. :)

Oh, Neal! Owwwww! (AKA This is excellent.)

Also, I don't know if the "you're my partner and my friend" is a deliberate Due South reference, but if it is, YAY! *g*

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, China Shop! Thank you so much--I'm so glad you enjoyed this. And, um, I don't know Due South well enough to put in a reference, but can I pretend I did?

I'm an art student and I've been looking for inspiration for a canvas piece. I think I've found it in your story. You're a genius and I love your writing. You'll probably hear from me again as I read more. ^_^
God and peace
