______________
Peter didn’t resist Neal’s tug, relaxing into his arms. He didn’t resist when Neal flipped him over and pressed him down into the couch, their cocks meeting and thrusting between their parted robes. Peter wanted Neal in all the usual ways, beneath him, accepting, a willing partner, but letting his own desires subordinate to Peter’s. And yet, at this moment, he could accept Neal’s need to assert himself, to take control. They rarely came together like this – a very few memorable occasions, but Peter understood the need right now.
Intellectually, that was.
Neal did something with his robe, using the sash to bind his hands against his belly. Peter was all right with that, too. But when he flipped Peter over and started toying with his body, touching his anus, lightly scratching the delicate skin, something went terribly wrong.
Memories – bad ones –crowded out the desire and Peter panicked. Between the hyperventilating gasps, he said, “Red – red – RED.”
Neal stopped instantly and turned him back over, freeing his hands. Peter kept his eyes tightly shut, like a child waking from a nightmare.
Peter felt Neal rubbing his hands, stroking his cheeks, running his fingers through his hair, whispering, “It’s just me, just Neal. You’re safe.”
He opened his eyes, it was just Neal. “I’m sorry – I don’t know what happened to me.”
The expression on Neal’s face was terrifying. “I’ll kill him. For what he did to you – I’ll kill him.”
“Neal – don’t go there.”
“Peter – “ Neal knew all too the demons Peter was fighting.
“No – not now.” They held each other, taking comfort in simply proximity. Finally, Peter said “Don’t say anything to El – she doesn’t need to know about this.”
Neal nodded. He’d asked the same thing of Peter once, and it was a promise he kept.

And I'm looking forward to dark!Neal. <3

I don't know how much the PSTD will play a role in the arc - I'll need to see how the next few chapters play out before I get the action rolling again., but there will definitely be repercussion from his time with Czerny. This is, after all, Danger'verse.
