Summary: Part of the Dragon'verse, and picks up the story after the events referenced in Beneath the Words. The Council meeting is over and despite four days of often difficult questioning, Peter's mate-bond with Neal has been ratified. The two Dracons are tired and while Peter's clan chief, Elizabeth, has offered them another night's hospitality, they both want to go home - wherever that might be.

Author’s Note: Written for Day 4 of Fic-Can-Ukah, for the prompt selected by my very dear friend, theatregirl7299. She asked for "Blues in the Night" and Peter/Neal in my Dragon'verse. See end notes for a bit more about the actual music.

Summary: Because his God is jealous and vengeful, Peter has been cast out of Heaven for loving Neal. Written for the third annual Caffrey-Burke Day.

Author’s Notes: The story in each Act was inspired by artwork created by kanarek13, Tim as Winged Jonesy from Carnivale (Act Two), and then Winged Matt from his Details shoot (Act Three). The art for Act One was created by Kanarek for that part of the story when I first started working on it, back in August.

The titles of each Act are from The Writer’s Book of Days, which were additional inspiration for the story.

Please see additional (and spoilery) author’s notes at the end of the story.

Summary: Neal is an Archon, a ‘guardian angel’, who has been watching over the soul of Peter Burke for millennia. He’s learned that Peter’s soul will not be reborn into a new life, and cannot bear the thought that he will continue for eternity without Peter. So he decides to take the forbidden path: become mortal and spend the rest of his days watching over Peter and caring for him.

But he will need to make a sacrifice, and he will need to learn how to Fall.

( Carefully perched over the mirror pool, wings outspread to give balance, Neal viewed the lone soul he’d been caring for its entire existence. He watched as the soul – this time around, a man – hurried about his business, unaware that he was being observed. )

Summary: It’s now a matter of weeks before Neal’s off the tracker for good. Peter is making it difficult for him to seek the freedom he thought he wanted for so long.

A continuation of the story (you may or may not need to read it) that was started in The Place Where Wings Unfurl, which I wrote for doctor_fangeek for Fic-Can-Ukah 2011. This is the last of the guaranteed stories for Fic-Can-Ukah 2012, and is for doctor_fangeek, who asked for “In Your Fantasies,” Peter/Elizabeth/Neal.
