Title: The Chains That Bind Us
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sholio
Characters: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, Elizabeth Burke, Mozzie, Diana Berrigan, Matthew Keller
Pairings: canon Peter/Elizabeth
Summary: AU in which Peter is a dragonslayer, Neal is a dragon, and Elizabeth is the enchantress who makes a chain to bind him.

Why rec'd? dragon!Neal \o/ For me that's more than enough but it also has awesome!Elizabeth, adorable!Peter, cute!Mozzie and wonderful, wonderful Peter + El + Neal scenes.

Despite being an AU with a not human!Neal it's still so them, so funny and adorable and just like an episode. There is bantering, there is H/C, there is action, there are *awwwww* worthy things, there is suspense and all the while I'm hearing their voices in my head...

Title: Penelope Weaving
Author: [livejournal.com profile] florastuart
Spoilers: Through season one
Characters: Kate, Fowler, Neal, Keller, Peter, Mozzie, Adler
Pairings: Kate/Neal
Warning: Some violence
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 78,000
Summary: She’s never liked chess, and this is chess played in the dark and blindfolded, and all the pieces are broken glass. Kate’s POV of season 1.
Why rec'd? It's epic length Kate fic! How often are you going to find that? It's incredible what this fic does for Kate as a character. It turns her into such a person, a complex woman with strengths and flaws. The relationships that [livejournal.com profile] florastuart crafts are fascinating and multi-faceted. [livejournal.com profile] florastuart weaves a story that makes sense of canon and takes Kate far beyond what the series gave her. It's a wonderfully rewarding read, even knowing how it all has to end.

Title: Liaison
Author: [livejournal.com profile] daria234
Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] coffeethyme4me
For: [livejournal.com profile] wcpairings fic exchange
Rating (inserted by me, NOT the author, so I hope she agrees): NC-17
Prompt: Historical AU with lots of UST and then smut
Summary: Peter/Neal. AU set in Eighteenth Century France. Peter is new to Paris, and Neal quickly becomes his friend. But is there an ulterior motive? Based very loosely on Dangerous Liaisons. Includes sex and light kink, trust issues, secret plots, etc.

Why Rec'd: Because, um, WOW. The dialogue is phenomenally smart, and both it and the interactions between Peter/Pierre and Neal/Nicolas take what's best about the show and canon and then weave a beautiful, tension-fraught AU with it, complete with some of the hottest damn UST I think I've ever read (plus white hot sex)!

Title: Worldwalking
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sholio
Spoilers: Up to Checkmate (3x11)
Characters: Neal, Peter, Keller
Pairings: gen for our universe, though other pairings are mentioned in the context of other realities
Warning: None
Summary: "It's sort of like you turn around, and walk out of the world," Keller once said. Neal never could do it. But then Keller did it and he took Peter with him, so Neal had to learn how.

Why rec'd? This is a great concept -- Neal searching for Peter through alternate universes and alternate versions of themselves -- and it's written wonderfully, with a really strong central friendship and tense climax. I really liked all the glimpses of how events in both their lives could have gone so differently.

Title: This Sea Town or That Bruising City
Author: lymricks
Spoilers: Through season 3
Characters: Neal, June, Alex, Kate, Mozzie, Elizabeth, Keller, Sara, Peter
Pairings: Gen, references to canon pairings
Warning: None
Summary: Neal wakes up in his pajamas on a beach far away from New York City, but everything's the same (except when it isn't).
Why rec'd? This fic is gorgeous. It's lyrical, soft, and gently surreal. Lymricks gets to the heart of the characters in a beautiful and surprising way. In all honesty, this fic never fails to make me cry. And bonus points for beautiful use of poetry. I decided to use the character study tag for this fic, but really it defies classification.

Title: Never Leave A Trace
Author: sam_storyteller
Characters: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Matthew Keller
Pairings: Peter/Neal/El established
Rating: R
Warning: Violence; triggery language
Summary: Neal Caffrey can steal souls. Peter Burke has two shadows. Everything's normal...except when it isn't.
Why rec'd?: Sam is an amazing author, and this story is one of his best. Here he uses magic realism to produce an exciting, original story that is completely different from anything else I've read in the fandom.
