Summary: A timestamp to my first epic story, We Shall Come Home (AO3 link to complete story). In the original story, Peter and Neal had been transformed into dogs and had to make their way back to civilization. Towards the end of their journey, they’d become separated and Neal was terribly injured – to the brink of death. But love – Peter’s love – saves him in the very last heartbeats of his life. This is the story of what happens immediately after that final scene.

A/N: A thank-you gift for my dear friend, kanarek13, for all of her hard work illustrating my Big Bang story (and for everything else she does). Back in June, when I did a timestamp meme, she asked for a small timestamp to We Shall Come Home: "Right after Neal was turned back, he was so weak and lying nekkid in Peter's arms, I'd love to see some caring and protective Peter there, after all, he got his Neal back.”

Title from the Oysterband song, “We Shall Come Home”.

Rating: R

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 "Coming Out" Square on my Trope Bingo Card, and the "Wildcard" square on my Love Bingo Card.

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

This bumps the original third chapter, Someone To Watch Over to Chapter Four, and since I'm writing this series out of order, chapters will no longer be numbered, but posted on my Master List in the correct chronological order.
