"Everything about Neal Caffrey’s past prior to his 18th birthday is a mystery, even to him. However, when someone unexpectedly recognizes him by a name that he has never used as an alias before, he learns that the biggest con of his life is literally his life."
Neal runs for a reason that Peter understands but the judge doesn't, and he's sent back for life with parole. In prison the second time, when everyone knows he's been working for the Feds, he gets really messed up. He gets turned out and passed around and brutally abused for the first year or so. After a while, he realizes the only way he'll survive is to pair up with someone, so he has a series of questionable "protectors".
Meanwhile, Peter realizes how bad things are for Neal and is desperately trying to get him back out. Several years in, he finally gets Neal released on parole and gets the old arrangement more or less back (how more or less is up to anon). Cue confused post-prison Neal who is still in the mind-set of needing a "protector" and looking to Peter to fill that role. Not just thinking he can use his body to gain Peter's favor (although that's cool too), but also actively seeking out Peter's companionship and touch when he feels panicked and needs reassurance he's safe.
Serving a minor search warrant, Peter comes across a stash of very illegal pornography, and Neal has to face something he thought he laid to rest years ago.
Peter thinks they're falling in love. Neal just doesn't want to go back to prison.
Peter and Neal embark upon a physical relationship but Neal's uncharacteristic and disturbing behaviour causes Peter to become increasingly worried. Could it just be another one of Neal's games or is something from his past coming back to haunt him?
Neal has hit his breaking point; telling Peter about the treasure might get him thrown back in prison but, between the arrow through his arm and the constant exhaustion, he can't be bothered to care anymore. (An AU where van Horn's aim was a little better and Neal confesses.)
