Oh, wow, this is utterly beautiful. I'm with everyone else above who's rooting for you to file the serial numbers off and publish this as original fic. Not only are the Neal-Noel interactions amazing, but the richness you've put into prison life and this magical universe is just fascinating. The king of the yard, Gutierrez talking to God, Peter's two shadows, Elizabeth as talisman.

Amazing. I can't wait to read the rest!
