The Deeper Satisfactions That Come Out Of Struggle

A worrisome illness arises leading to new friends, new struggles, new outlooks on events and also no-one saying what is actually going on. This isn't an AU or canon, kind of an extra layer to the canon portrayed from episode 3 of season 2. Rated T because of some dirty language and content in future chapters. Neal-centric. AU in future chapters because I like my own back-stories.
