A Daddy always wants his children to be happy lol. Oh and the way Neal leans against Peter? I can totally see it. Every time I see a new addition to this universe, I smile. Thanks!

Thanks Sonia! Yeah, Peter has Neal's best interests at heart. :)

I love that Peter and Elizabeth have talked about marrying again if one of them dies. That seems like the kind of thing Peter and Elizabeth would do, but not Neal and Kate. I liked that Peter told Neal not to give up on the picket fence just yet.

Thanks Jet! I'm glad that seems more like a Peter-Elizabeth thing to you too--I couldn't picture Neal and Kate having it.

Mmm... interesting! I hope this conversation leads to Neal thinking about being more than Peter's kid. Not that that's not lovely all on its own :)

Really enjoying the series!

Thanks Daria! Neal is still grieving Kate here, so I think that's part of the reason he's focusing on being Peter's kid in this this verse. But of course he's that and more, and eventually he'll figure that out. :)

lol, I actually meant that in this verse it would be cool if Neal had a new relationship since it's platonic between him and Peter.

But of course rereading what I said, I realize my subconscious insisted I ship those two no matter what I tried to say.

jrosemary August 19 2010, 04:10:25 UTC

Lol! No, I understood your meaning--and that's what I was going for. I just meant that not only is Neal Peter's son, he's also his own person. That's the 'more than' I meant, nothing more. And I think that's what you meant too.

Oy--maybe we both subconsciously ship them no matter what. But I promise I'm not going for daddy!kink here, however fun that would be in a different (non father-son) verse. ;)

It's always good to wake up in the morning and find another drabble from you. Now I want Peter to try to set up his son with a nice girl. Maybe an FBI flavored nice girl.

jrosemary August 19 2010, 04:12:27 UTC

Thanks LadyGray! I think setting Neal up with a nice girl is more Elizabeth's department, but she can probably convince Peter to go along with it.

Trouble is, I'm no good with non-canon other female characters, lol. We'll have to see what happens if Alex comes back and/or Sara sticks around . . .

“You’re relaxed enough for both of us.”
“I am,” Neal agreed, stifling a yawn as he put down his pencil. “I’m comfy here--maybe I’ll move in.”

I love how Neal casually throws this out, and Peter doesn't even flicker. LOL!

Poor Neal, don't give up on the picket fence and having your own special someone to share your life with. You deserve it!

Love this so much. But I really need a WC icon!

Thanks, JR.

Thanks, Shelley! I wanted to give the sense that Neal feels entitled to move into his 'Dad's' place, and that Peter wouldn't argue that entitlement, lol. (Although I think Neal is pretty happy at June's, of course.)
