This is a perfect, perfect conclusion -- from the beautiful scene with Moz in the beginning to the way happiness takes a long, long time to come in the end. I loved that Peter and El cry but Neal doesn't/can't, and that Neal sometimes goes back to seek comfort with Mozzie (♥). And the moment where Neal realizes that Peter had no idea what was happening to him in prison -- gah. My heart broke a little for Neal when Peter said he'd had to move on, while Neal had kept following his cases and sending him cards. *sobs a little* But the way that changes his whole worldview, knowing that Peter had been operating under a completely different set of assumptions...yeah.

Adding this to memories. Wonderfully done. *hugs*
