[angelita26]

Author: angelita26
Characters/Pairings: Gen - Neal, Peter, El, Mozzie, Diana, Jones, etc
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~5500
Theme: October - Spooky Fics
Original Publication Date: November 3, 2012
Content Notes: Confinement in a small space.
Summary: Peter and Neal are both having very bad days. Their only contact is via cell phone while Neal's kidnapped and imprisoned in a small, dark box, and Peter desperately searches for him.
Why should people re-read this story?: I was still new to fandom when I posted this one, and it's one of my personal favorites. Neal tries so hard to stay calm, but he can only keep himself together for so long. There's a lot of long-distance Peter and Neal interaction and a lot of fear on both sides.
