[embroiderama]

Title: Every Broken Word Unspoken
Author: embroiderama
Rating: PG
Pairing: Neal & Peter, gen
Word count: 2,900 words
Spoilers: Judgement Day
Warnings: (Very spoilery for the story, highlight to read) no actual character death, but TW for grief - happy ending
Summary: Off in his island paradise, Neal keeps tabs on the friends he left, and terrible news hits when he least expects it. What happens after that is even more of a shock.

Notes: Written for the "mistaken identity" square in my hc_bingo. I was sort of ambushed by this story, and it hurt to write, but I had no choice. The title is from the song "I Will Remember" by Over the Rhine.

( Neal leaves his coffee on the table next to the monitor, leaves the computer logged in and ticking off the minutes he paid for, leaves the John Irving novel he was planning to read on a bench in the town square. )

Title: You Always Hurt the One You Love
Rating: R for language
Characters/Pairings: Neal/Peter/Elizabeth
Spoilers: None
Content Notice: None
Word Count: 2,300
Summary: Neal gets hurt, Peter blames himself, feelings get hurt, El is full of win. Lather, rinse, repeat…

“Take the shot, Peter!”

“Neal, no.”

Then Neal's eyes on his softened, and widened, and Peter saw that this was the one and only chance they’d get to stop Byrne, that if the man was allowed to leave, he’d kill Neal at his first opportunity. I trust you, Neal's eyes said.

So Peter took the shot.

And he missed.
