Ah now I see what you mean about Peter telling her. But that's not his entire life story... (Maybe I misunderstood what you were going for there)... I don't know... to me that's still fair game because it's exactly what Neal did. Different interpretations of what is too much information I guess.
I don't know I guess I have an easier time ignoring the bumps and small hurts when they're not so big. Home Invasion bugged me because I thought the fight at the car was stupid and made Peter look like a jerk - along with sitting on the couch all sweaty even if it was to get a look at the book. But like you said in the end Peter knew Neal didn't run.
I know fan fic is all about filling in the gaps and figuring out how characters feel but I do think sometimes people dig a little too deep into the characters feelings and drag things out more than they should. Yeah feelings might be getting hurt but do we need an epic story about how hurt the character is and how mean the other character was to them? Especially when we're talking about fictional people being written by others who may have different interpretations of things.
I say this having written "Not There Yet" which was about smoothing over the fight at the car in "Home Invasion" but even then I didn't fix everything and I wrote it from Peter's pov because I didn't think Peter did THAT much wrong.
