I really enjoyed your story. I love how Peter immediately accepted Neal back into his life and helped him to recover from his ordeal. : )

Slytheringurrl, that is great artwork. It really suits the story. : )

What a wonderful story. It was beautiful the way Peter stood by Neal. It was nice to see Neal finally get the "Disney" ending after all he'd been through. Hopefully, there will be a sequel in the not to distant future.Great job.

This is a lovely story full of angst and friendship. Glad Neal got the happy ending he deserved. Your art compliments the story beautifully.

Terrific story and artwork! I enjoyed seeing how Peter and El's life had changed during the ten years Neal was gone and how they accepted Neal as part of their family. Poor Neal trying to deal with his demons from the kidnapping, but he had Peter to help him.

Glad to see Neal finally realizes he can and deserves a happy ending. Thanks for sharing this.

Oh my God!!! I have no words to describe how much I loved this story. So sweet and heartbreaking. I love how the friendship between Peter and Neal never change...neither after all that years. This story deserves a sequel...with Neal's new and old family

Wow, I loved this story so much! Everything that happened to Neal was heartbreaking, but I love that he knew he had to go to Peter in order to begin to heal. The ending felt realistic, that Neal would try to start his own new life even though everything isn't perfect, but that he would stay close to the family he found with Peter and El. Beautiful work!
