I adore this story so very much. I know how much of a pain in the ass it was for you, but it's beautifully written and the weaving of canon events into this AU telling is brilliant. I love that you used Adler as the bad guy and that Peter got to put him away (death was too good for him on the show - he needed to suffer in prison!).

I especially loved Neal's emotional journey to some very dark places and then back toward the light of living in NY and being among his friends and co-workers. So heart-wrenching and beautiful.

Thank you so much for taking my three little sentences and turning them into this amazing epic. That's all you - you are amazing, and I'm so proud of you, pooh bear! *HUGS*
