My favorite part:

" He lied to himself. He said that this game didn’t matter. That the adrenaline of the job, the rush of endorphins later, the inconsistent heart beats could all be blamed for this attachment. It was the gritty sort of obsession, devoid of any romantic tone. It ripped its way into his stomach. It felt like it could kill him.
When he woke during the night, he reached for his gun, frightened for unrealized reasons. He was covered in a cold sweat and the fan was on. He welcomed every discomfort.
Sometimes, while running down the street, gun in hand again, shouting at the top of his lungs, he changed the face of the perp. Sometimes, the perp became his partner, sometimes himself. At the end, with his guns tucked between the man’s ribcage, he could almost breathe easy again.
Then the night came and he was transported back to hell."

Leaves me breathless...more please?

This was wonderful - it was clever and hot with threads of angst and sweetness, and it feels very true to the characters, especially in what Neal observes in Peter.

Thank you. I think the best compliment you can get it staying true to the characters.

Please you consider writing the day after story!

I loved that Peter only sort of remembers. Will everyone at work notice the change between them?

Thanks for sharing with us!

Wow, really lovely and such a different feel from the WC fic I've read so far. Almost abstract, like you're only getting it through three or four of your senses instead of all five...

Thank you. I was going for different. I was just exploring their characters in whatever ways I could.
