Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Discussion of HIV/AIDS, expressions of homophobia, sexist appellations

Summary: In the aftermath of the events first told in Heaven for the Hunger, Poison for the Pain, where Neal might have been exposed to HIV/AIDS, Neal’s colleagues rally to him, they have his back and make it known that he’s very much part of the team.

This story also ties up some loose ends in It's Life That Just Sharpens the Blade and What Doesn't Bend, Breaks.

Author's Notes: Written for the lovely angelita26, who asked me to write more of the story from Heaven for the Hunger, on my Timestamps Meme. Now, technically, a timestamp is a short outtake of a much longer story, but not in this case. The original fic was 2000 words, this one is six times longer.

Fills the "Wildcard" Square on my H/C Bingo Card and the "Coming Out" Square on my Trope Bingo Card, and the "In Sickness and in Health" square on my Love Bingo Card.

Title from Dougie MacLean’s “Hearts Can Never Hide”.
