Title: Relentless as the Rain
Author:
frith_in_thorns
Spoilers: All of season five
Characters: Neal, Peter, Elizabeth, Rachel
Pairings: background canon ones
Warning: presumed character death, grief, depression, emotional manipulation/coercion
Summary: Diverges from canon during the S5 finale. The standoff on the roof goes in Rachel's favour, and Peter and Neal struggle to deal with the consequences.
Why rec'd? Okay, full disclosure: I beta'd this. But I really didn't offer story input; it was more like begging Frith to send me more pieces of it because I had to know what happened next! This story goes AU during the season five finale, and squarely mashed down all of my h/c, friendship, and "presumed dead" squee buttons. It's also a very believable depiction of grief and depression -- a harrowing read in places, but ultimately upbeat and hopeful. Highly recommended!
