Oh, this is great! It had all the elements I like: action, Neal!whump, worried!Peter (He crawled forwards, as fast as he judged he could safely go (possibly slightly faster). Heeee!) and of course the d'awwww-inducing comfort! Oh, and snuggling *g* (Neal responded by burrowing more tightly against his chest, still barely conscious. awww!) I also really liked their talk at the end – poor Neal, that really is an image for nightmares! – and how Peter gets him to talk about it ("Neal," he said. "Peter," Neal replied, exactly mimicking his tone. Slick as ever. Peter sighed. "Neal, stop it." "Stop what?" "You know what." Peter met his eyes. That is so them!). Really sweet ending, too. Thanks for such a great h/c story!
