    Summary

    Neal was spiraling down into a deep, dark pit, and if he wasn’t careful it would end in a cell in AdSeg. But he wasn’t sure he cared anymore if it did. (Spoilers for S4 and warnings for a depiction of non-clinical depression.)

    Summary

    “ Something had caused a sweet young boy to rebuild himself, piece by glossy piece, until he was something else entirely: something special, different, quality—something far beyond the ordinary.

    When Peter really thought about it, his heart broke for the young boy who had really never stopped running from his past.”

    A casual incident on a stakeout leads Peter to reflect on where Neal Caffrey came from...and why he’s hurting.

    Summary

    ““I’m fine.” Oh, Peter was so sick of those words—empty, deflecting, completely untruthful, and used like an iron shield to keep compassion at bay. It was a constant refrain with Neal, “I’m fine, don’t worry about it.” ...Peter knew Neal too well now to dismiss those shallow “I’m fine’s” with a shrug.”

    Neal is struggling and won’t let himself ask for help—but help comes anyway in the form of an observant and caring Peter Burke.

    A story that explores how Neal deals with pain and how Peter learns to help him.

    Summary

    He’s always felt it-- the ache on the quiet nights, the stinging from old wounds, the shame of failure. He’s rarely had anyone to care about him, and that takes it’s toll.

    It should get easier as he grows into his family;

    It doesn’t.

    Five times he thought about it (and one time someone notices)
