Title: Someone to Come Home To
Author: reve_silencieux
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Neal, Peter, Sara (N/S)
Spoilers: Season Five
Word Count: 6790
Beta: sapphire2309
Prompt: Neal completes his sentence (or the rest of it is commuted) and he goes to meet Sara for Christmas in London. For one reason or another--a horribly bumpy flight, a long and miserable delay on the tarmac, having the flu or a minor injury, etc--Neal turns up at her doorstep not *quite* so shiny and happy as he had planned.
Author's Note: Title taken from My December by Linkin Park. Written for whitecollarhc Hurt/Comfort Advent 2014. Prompt from embroiderama. This was my first 'fest' or prompt inspired challenge and I learned a lot from this experience. It is one thing to love a prompt and want to write it, and another to be inspired enough to write it on time. I also realized I have a hard time writing standalone fic because I tend to want to fill in lots of backstory. (hence the first scene which comes from my dead WIP folder) Credit for the basic h/c plot goes to sapphire2309, and I owe so much to her, because this fic... well, it was rushed in the end and she made it possible.
