It's so heartbreaking (and you know, I hadn't actually caught on to the major source of Peter's angst here -- yeah, Neal just proved, accidentally, that he can't help get Elizabeth back, and oh crap!) - but I think it was such a balm to my soul because I'd run into so many stories lately where they're at each other's throats in the aftermath of Countdown, and this was so heartbreakingly sweet; I can't imagine any way in canon that Neal could prove this thoroughly that he's very sorry and never wanted to hurt anyone, but in this AU, he basically wears his emotions on the outside.
Anyway, I liked that last scene so much that I made you fanart! I'll link to it rather than posting it in the comment because it's rather large:

Neal is silver and blue in this one, correct?
