Spoilers: clips used through 4x03
Characters: Neal, Peter
Pairings: (if appropriate)
Warning: N/A
Summary: No matter where Neal runs to, ultimately, he and Peter will always find their way back to each other.

Title: Twisted Paths
Author: Sandra S.
Spoilers: none
Characters: Peter, Neal (some background El)
Pairings: gen
Warning: AU (takes a different turn prior to the start of the show)
Summary: Peter Burke had chased him longer and came closer to catching him than any other man. Neal never really wondered why he stopped. Until he runs into him again in a burning building. AU.

Why rec'd? This is a really cool idea - an AU in which Peter suffers a disability and never arrests Neal, so the two of them meet years later, under very different circumstances. This is a really cool look at a very different Peter and Neal relationship.

Song: This Is Where I Belong (Bryan Adams)
Spoilers: up to 3x16
Characters: Peter, Neal (little bit of everyone else)
Pairings: none
Warning: none
Summary: Neal thinks back to his time in New York.

Why rec'd? It's another wonderful vid from

noiproksa about Neal and Peter friendship, this time concentrated on Neal's feelings when he is leaving. Amazing clips chosen perfectly to the song, and perfectly chosen song of course. It's my absolute favorite from noiproksa vids.

Title:  "I Have A Life Here"
Artist:  TheNeverworld
Spoilers: HUGE spoilers for the finales of season 1 and season 3, and a bunch of Peter/Neal moments.
Characters: Peter and Neal
Pairings: None
Warning:  It may make you cry.
Summary:  A short video montage about the depth of friendship between Neal and Peter, and the tragedy of Neal's fate in 3x16, set to "Life and Death" by Michael Giacchino
Why rec'd?  This video popped up on my "You Tube Recomends…" list when I signed in, and then proceeded to stomp all over my heart when I watched it. The way the creator has selected and edited together the clips and music is smooth and masterful, and it tells the story in a stark-but-gutwrenching way. I kind of wish it was a little longer, but overall it is an angsty delight. Poor Neal. Poor Boys. :(

Pairings: None
Warning: None
Summary: The Neal and Peter dynamic throughout Season 1 as they come to realize that they're better together.

Why rec'd? This is another of my favorite Peter and Neal videos. It is such a fun upbeat video. All of the artist's White Collar videos are great. I recommend checking them all out.

Spoilers: None
Characters: Peter, Neal, Elizabeth
Pairings: Background Peter and Elizabeth
Warning: None given
Summary: Peter gets shot. Neal blames himself.
Why rec'd? This is a beautiful story. I really like the different style that the author uses. It brings out the intensity and panic. You can just feel all of the emotions throughout the story.

Spoilers: None
Characters: Peter and Neal

Title: Rule Number One (The Wildcard Remix)
Author:

galaxysoup
Spoilers: none
Characters: Peter and Neal mainly, but also Jones, Diana, Elizabeth, Mozzie
Pairings: gen
Warning: none
Summary: Peter would laugh to hear him say it, but Neal Caffrey loves rules. A remix of Corollary Alpha by

bibliothekara.

Why rec'd? I loved the fic that this is based on (a sweet little story in which Peter has appendicitis) and this fic expands marvelously upon that, while also being a lovely character study of Neal and a neat look at his friendship with Peter and the way he's started to integrate into Team Suit. This is the author's only White Collar fic (as far as I know) but I really hope it'll be the first of many!

Title: Undertow
Author:

frith_in_thorns
Spoilers: for 3x16
Characters: Neal, Mozzie, some Peter and Elizabeth, OCs
Pairings: gen
Warning: torture (offscreen/implied), kids in danger
Summary: Set post-finale. Neal's drifting, but Mozzie's found an opportunity to take advantage of, one that on the surface doesn't look too risky. Of course, appearances can be deceiving.
(Full disclosure: I beta'd this fic, though I was not otherwise involved with its creation.)

Why rec'd? This is a really wonderful post-finale fic - great plot with lots of action, a very likable OC, and an excellent character study of Neal and his relationships with both Mozzie and Peter.

Title: Count On Me
Vidder:

noiproksa
Song: "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars
Spoilers: up to 3x16
Characters: Neal, Peter
Pairings: none
Warning: none
Summary: Fast-paced vid about Neal and Peter sticking together through thick and thin.

Why rec'd? Trying to pick just one of

noiproksa's Peter/Neal friendship vids to recommend is so hard, because they're all wonderful! This is a recent one that really shows off the vidder's masterful technical use of cuts and fades to time the clips to the music, as well as being a lovely look at Peter and Neal's friendship. But I recommend you check out all of them; there's some great stuff there. :D (I'll Stand By You is another recent favorite of mine.)

Title: Chasing Clouds
Author: Slipstream77
Spoilers: Big ones for 3x16
Characters: Peter (with appearances by Diana, June)
Pairings: None
Warning: None
Summary: Peter knew Diana probably thought he was in shock. And maybe he was. But not for the reasons she thought. The immediate aftermath of "Judgment Day."

Why rec'd? This is a very convincing look at Peter right after the end of 3x16, trying to balance his need to do his job with his friendship for Neal, and reflecting on the tangled mess of events that have brought them here. I thought it was very fair to all the characters and the complexities of their situation.

Title: Fire Escape
Artist:

sholio

Summary: "I can be myself, how about you?" Neal is the element of uncertainty and change in Peter's life. But neither of them would have it any other way.
Why rec'd? This is one of my favorite Neal and Peter videos. Great editing and wonderful choice of clips.

Title: Coming Home
Author:

Spoilers: for 3x16
Characters: Peter, Neal, Elizabeth
Pairings: canon levels of Peter/Elizabeth, but basically gen
Warning: none
Summary: Peter has someone important he needs to pick up. Written for this prompt at

collarcorner.

Why rec'd? This is a particularly neat "fix" for the end of 3x16, and a really lovely glimpse of Neal and Peter's friendship.

Title: The Brooklyn Time-Slip
Author:

alex51324
Spoilers: none
Characters: Neal, Peter, Elizabeth, Mozzie
Pairings: gen
Warning: kinda crackish/AU
Summary: Neal wakes up in the rain with a pounding headache and no idea how he got there.

Why rec'd? This is a very cute fic, not necessarily 100% canon-compliant (hence the AU tag) but really an adorable look at the characters and their friendship nonetheless.

Title: Signs of Life
Author:

nice_disguise
Spoilers: Out Of The Box, episode 1x14
Characters: Neal, Peter
Pairings: None
Warning: None
Summary: Neal is receiving strange messages. Who's sending them and what do they mean?
Why rec'd? I am not very good at trying to describe why I am reccing something. I will just say this story will pull you in untill the end. I guess it is somewhat of a character study too. A very beautiful, lyrical story.

Title: Ancient World AU (see below for links to individual stories)
Author:

nefhiriel
Spoilers: none
Characters: Neal, Peter, Elizabeth (Mozzie also appears in at least one of the stories)
Pairings: gen with approximately canon levels of Peter/Elizabeth
Warning: themes of slavery; some stories contain violence
Summary: See below

Why rec'd? I'm reccing these all together because this is a series, although the stories stand alone, so you can start with any of them. In very approximate internal chronological order (not the order in which the stories were written):

Impulse
Worth*
Precaution
Vigilance
Circumvention

*- first story written, might be the best one to start with

This is a world that vaguely resembles Ancient Rome (but isn't, quite) in which Peter is a soldier and a somewhat iconoclastic patrician; his wife Elizabeth purchases slave!Neal after she sees Neal's owner abusing him. Slave AUs are not normally my cup of tea, but this series is one of my favorite things in the fandom anyway -- the characters are very much themselves, and their world is very real-feeling, with a tangible sense of history and culture. It's impossible not to fall in love with the characters and their slowly growing friendship all over again. Peter and Elizabeth are perfectly cast as aristocrats who have no patience with the usual excesses and abuses of their class, while Neal is the captured and enslaved thief who continues scheming to escape even while slowly being won over by Elizabeth's kindness and Peter's sense of fair play and honor. The writing is excellent, and all the characters' best traits (their loyalty, their courage, their capacity to love) shine through.

Pairings: None
Warning: None
Summary: Peter is forced to spend the weekend at Neal's. Despite misgivings by both, they actually relax and enjoy themselves, with the help of June and Mozzie.
Why rec'd? I love friendship stories and this just a wonderful one. It really captures the friendship between Peter and Neal. All of the characters are excellently written and it shows the relationships between everyone so well.
