Thank you! This was a strange fic to write, because it takes place during season one, but it's really about season three.
There's just that *something* Neal needs that he can get from Peter and not from Mozzie, and it's that part of him that Mozzie just can't understand.
This. And at the same time, there's a huge part of Neal that is unacceptable to Peter (for very good reason) and so Neal flits between the two of them and they both want to force him to choose, both fully expecting that when push comes to shove, he'll choose their side.
I agree. I love the development Moz has been getting. He isn't just a quirky sidekick. He's an accomplished thief who came up with a plan to pull one over on Adler. And given his belief system, he must adore Neal, and this season, we've really been seeing both of those sides.
