Oh, whew. It is nice to see them all back on the same page. Or on pages in the same book, at least. Even Keller was being selfishly selfless, everything maneuvering nicely to get to that endpoint *wonders about the chess metaphor again* where Neal has the chance of freedom. And what will he do with it, if he gets it? Will this become a "two FBI agents" show? I somehow doubt it, but equally I doubt he's going back to criminality or Europe.
(I am amusingly reminded of the show I haven't checked on updates for in a while, "Once Upon a Time," in which the characters are magically restricted from leaving the town of Storybrook. I was getting the impression that New York had the same magical barrier around it. Or at least you can't go farther than pigeon-distance.)
And, be still my heart. "You." That was a moment, that was. Nicely undercut, too. "Oh, and everybody else too. And the elevator."
I admit to being somewhat bemused by the tendency in fandom toward the P/E/N threesome (don't get me wrong,
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sahiya, you write it very well!). The way I see it, Neal is obviously in love with Peter, and Peter and Elizabeth obviously want to be Neal's parents, even if they're not old enough, and any sexual tension derives from the incompatibility of that situation, though most of the tension on the show is not sexual. Neal is not exclusively in love with Peter, of course; his fatal flaw is his need to fall in love, so he's also crazy about El and Mozzie and Sara and Raphaels and elevators and... but Peter is special.I would actually like to get Peter and El in a room with Amy and Rory to talk about relationships. Well... perhaps I could take a brief fic-writing break at some point...?
