Fanmix: Neal/Peter, Before You Leave

[cookiegirl]

Type of work: Fanmix
Title: Before You Leave
Pairing: Neal/Peter, pre-slash (though could be viewed as gen or slash)
Spoilers: 2x16 through to 3x10
Warnings: Track 2 contains explicit lyrics
Summary: Made for the hc_bingo prompt 'Theft'. Neal agonises over stealing the treasure and leaving Peter; Peter agonises over catching Neal.
Notes: Download/Listen links at the bottom of the page. My first fanmix, and it took me forever, so fingers crossed someone likes it! :) I'm from the UK so I'm not sure which songs are well known in the US, but I hope there's at least something new on here for most people. The last song might be pretty familiar, however I wanted to include it because it seems like such a perfect description of how Peter always tries to leave a way for Neal to come back from whatever mess he's made, and how grateful Neal is for that. 

Peter: The long con on Adler, it finally paid off, didn't it? You saw your chance and then you took it. I don't know how. I don't know what game you were playing.
Neal: I haven't lied to you Peter. I'm not lying to you now. I didn't steal the art.
Peter: I think you did.
Neal: Then prove it. Prove it.

1. Aimee Mann - You Could Make A Killing

There is nothing that competes with habit
And I know it's neither deep nor tragic
It's simply that you have to have it
So you can make a killing

I could follow you and search the rubble
Or stay right here and save myself some trouble


Neal: It's two o'clock in the morning, Peter. Are you going to keep me here all night?
Peter: Until I'm satisfied.
- On Guard


2. Christian Kane - Making Circles

Well our love story reads like a book of lies
Good intentions, better alibis
This bittersweet revelry will be the death of me

We go round and round, tryin' to work it out
And all I get is hell bent and bound
Never far from right where we are

We both need to lead while we dance along
One more graceful spin on who's right or wrong

And it can't get much better and it sure can't get worse
Well either way you turn, it's gonna hurt


Mozzie: To our best and final score.
- On Guard


3. Missy Higgins - Where I Stood

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening


El: Honey, you've been staring at that all night.
Peter: He took it, El. I know he took the art.
- On Guard


4. Matchbox Twenty - Bed of Lies

Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile

Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Well it's not enough just to be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes


Neal: A con is a rush. It's an addiction. You need to hit rock bottom before you can change.
Peter: When did you hit bottom? 
Neal: Never said I did.
- Scott Free


5. Lene Marlin - Playing My Game

Won't open my mouth
You know what I'll say
It hurts me that it's gotta be this way
I can no longer hide
God knows I've tried
I held on as long as I could
If I could change it, I would
This is the way I am
And this is what I do
Cos you know, I'm just playing my game


Peter: Do you remember what you said to me the day I first accused you of stealing the art? What was it, Neal?
Neal: "Prove it."
Peter: Be careful what you wish for.

6. Will Young - Grace

Feeling so strange, I'm seeing you clearly now
Your beauty's deadlier every day

Grace - you're getting away with it
Words - but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you please

Isn't it a shame, you've nothing to show from these lies
I told you you'd pay for it

You spoke in rhymes and rhythms, the sweetest sounds
They drew me in like a moth to a flame
Oh, all these people you hurt along the way
Will haunt you now

‘Cos things are going to change, going to change, going to change
You're beginning to lose
Things are fading in front of your eyes
You've a long way to fall
Before you even realise


Neal: Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye.
- The Dentist of Detroit


7. Azadeh - Red Wine and Sunsets

I don’t know who I am, but I know what I could be
A frozen tear, deceptive fear
So give me something to go on please, a hint, some evidence
'Cos nothing’s as it appears

I’ve got something to tell you, something to say
It ain’t all red wine and sunsets, It’s all gonna change
Because a million stars shoot away
As you wait, as you wait another day
And the evening stars turn to grey
And all this time, you can’t find the words to say

I can’t work it out, all these doubts
Cos your eyes, they seem to control me, unfold me


Neal: You're giving me an ultimatum.
Mozzie: Yes, I am. Stay here with Peter or come with me.
- Countdown


8. Del Amitri - Just Before You Leave

Does your appetite for novelty still burn? 
And do you pick a fight just to feel the heat of his concern? 
Do you still misbehave, then beg for his reprieve? 
And do you love to feel his needy hands pulling at your sleeve? 
Don't you always fall in love again just before you leave?


Peter: All goes well, we'll recover the painting tomorrow.
El: Then what?
Peter: Then I'll know the truth.
El: Neal really did it, didn't he?
- Countdown


9. Over the Rhine - The World Can Wait

If this should end tomorrow
All our best laid plans
And all our typical fears
Am I running out of lifetimes
This is not the first time
Something ends in just tears

But tomorrow I can't imagine
How am I supposed to know
What's yet to go down

Haven't I said enough
Haven't I said far too much
Haven't I done enough
Haven't I done far too much


Peter: Listen, you and I have been through some stuff, we've had to keep things from each other, but... if you want to talk. You know, I mean, really talk... I'm here for you.
- As You Were


10. David Cook - Light On

You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before

And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
