Title: Be Worth It
Author: little purple butterflies
Spoilers: 1x02
Word Count: 3518
Characters: Reese Hughes (POV). Neal, Lauren and Peter appear (in voice only for latter two), Jones and other agents are mentioned in the background.
Pairings: Gen.
Summary: Normally Hughes was a good judge of character. With Neal though, Reese learned, there was more than meets the eye. Set during the scene in the park near the end of 1x02 'Threads'.

Why rec'd?: This really feels like Hughes and how he might think about Caffrey at this stage, with a mix of suspicion and maybe the start of grudging respect.

Title: Price Tag
Author: Sandra-S
Spoilers:Set shortly after Season 1; Book of Hours
Characters: Neal, Peter
Warnings: . for violence and aftermath of violence.
Pairings: none (gen)
Summary: Actually, Peter realized early on in this deal with Neal that it might cost him more than he had bargained for.

Why rec'd? : Neal is a non violent con man. I like that the story explores the concept that there may be casualties to Neal's con.

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

florastuart crafts are fascinating and multi-faceted.

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.

Author:

Spoilers: Season 1, slight for episode 2X11 Forging Bonds
Characters: June, Neal, Peter, Mozzie
Pairings: None
Warning: None
Summary: June's never been a lone sheep in the middle of a wolf pack. What would any She-Wolf do but pick up the lost little puppy she finds one day?

Why rec'd? There are not nearly enough June stories in the fandom. This one really does her character justice. It is a wonderful portrait of June and a lovely look at her relationship with Neal.

*Mod, could I have an author tag for silver_falcon24 please? Thank you.

Title: My Life Would Suck Without You
Artist: ant3ka
Spoilers: Season 1
Characters: Peter and Neal
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.

Title: Glimpses
Author: Sandra S
Spoilers: up to 1x10 as of the latest update
Characters: all of them (but largely Peter and Neal)
Pairings: gen with canon pairings
Warning: none
Summary: A collection of short - sometimes very short - episode-tags for Season 1.

Why rec'd? This is a neat series of short missing scenes for each episode, progressing chronologically through the season (it just reached 1x10). While the series itself is a WiP, each of the tags is stand-alone. The author has a talent for finding little-explored corners of canon and doing interesting things with them.

Title: Let's Misbehave (Youtube link.)
Artist:

greensilver
Spoilers: Through season one
Characters/Pairings: Neal/Peter/El
Warning: None
Summary: In which there are a great deal of shenanigans. Hijinks-heavy, context-light.
Why rec'd?: This is an instant pick-me-up vid. It's so bouncy and everyone's so cheerful. Greensilver picks wonderful clips, and with nothing but well timed editing, makes me go, "So, this threesome is canon, right? An incredibly fun vid.

Title: Dustland Fairytale
Artist:

sholio
Spoilers: Through the end of season 2
Characters: Neal, Kate, Peter, Fowler, Adler
Pairings: Neal/Kate
Warning: None
Summary: The story of Neal, Kate and Adler.
Why rec'd?: This vid is beautiful and heartbreaking. It's the story of of Neal and Kate, yes, but it's even more about how Neal saw their story. Even more, Sholio shows us that it's not just their story. Peter, Adler, and others weave themselves into the narrative, their presence inescapable.

If you like Neal/Kate, then this is a real treat because there's not much out there for them. If you're not a Neal/Kate fan, then this vid will make you buy the relationship. No, really, there are comments that say exactly that.

But I think the part the hits me hardest is the ending.

Spoilers: 1x13 "Front Man"
Characters: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey
Summary: This is an AU tag for "Front Man": A worried Peter follows Neal back home after he disappears without his anklet. (No mentions of Alex or the music box in here.)

Why rec'd? Wonderful little AU story about Peter taking care of Neal with a medical condition.

Author: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/773906/<Rockpaperscissor>/a>
Spoilers: Season 1
Characters: Pretty much all the characters on the show make an appearence.
Pairings: None
Warning: None listed
Summary: It's hard enough to trust a conman when he's alive - let alone when he's dead. AU for the season one finale.
Why rec'd? This a touching and wonderfully written AU for how season one ended. It is told mosty from Peter's perspective but everyone is in it at some point.

Title: Paws!
Author: China_shop
Characters: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Mozzie
Spoilers: 1x05
Pairings: canon Peter/Elizabeth, pre-Peter/Elizabeth/Neal
Summary: Peter's attention was on the kitten. It was small and black, with white whiskers, white paws and a small white bib on its chest. Its wide blue eyes were fixed on Peter. And it was wearing a collar with a blinking green light.

Why rec'd? Neal as kitten. Neal as a black kitten with white paws, a white bib on his chest and white whiskers. ♥

Title: my lips have the sin
Author: hoosierbitch
Characters: Neal, Peter, Elizabeth, an OMC you will want to become canon
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: slash - I won't spoil the story by stating who
Spoilers: none
Warnings: Nonconsensual sex, rape recovery, post-traumatic stress disorder.
Summary: AU in which Neal is sent back to prison for good and does what he must to survive. Part of that coping is giving up the ability to speak. Then, miraculously, Peter is able to get him his deal back and he is free. How does he get back to himself? Does he get his words back?

Why Rec'd? This story might be a legend in the fandom - at least it is to me. It was a long-running fill on

collarkink that had its fans simultaneously despairing for Neal over his trauma and cheering whenever a new portion would be posted. When I learned that my friend

hoosierbitch was its author, I should not have been so surprised - it bears her signature style of sensitively wrought depictions of the emotional pain and motivations of her characters,

There is not enough to be said about this fic, except that if you were following it on the meme, you will be satisifed to know there is a happy ending (sorry for the spoiler). You will cry, and then you will cry, and then you will smile and say, "AWW!" and then you will cry some more.

I will warn that there are some depictions of the` rape and other traumas Neal endures while in prison and they may be shocking to some.

Link above is to Part 1. Go now and read this gorgeous, gorgeous story!

Title: Get the Party Started
Artist: rhoboat
Spoilers: Through Season 2 for White Collar, and season 3 for Leverage
Characters: Most of both casts
Pairings: Gen
Warning: None
Summary: They're having so much fun, it's illegal.
Why rec'd?: Because it's the White Collar/Leverage crossover vid you never knew you needed. Because it's a fabulous melding of both shows. Because it's bouncy, sexy, and fun. Because Dame Shirley Bassey rocks my socks. Because both Neal and Hardison look really hot in tank tops. And because it confirms what we already we knew: Diana is the team's resident asskicker.

Mods could I get a tag for "crossover with:leverage" please?

Title: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6497554/1/If_You_Play_With_Fire
Author: canadianscanget
Spoilers: Seasons 1 and 2
Characters: Peter, Neal, Elizabeth, everyone on the show at some point
Pairings: None
Warnings: Violence and Language
Summary: How did a stolen Rembrandt find its way onto a wall in the FBI? Now it's missing? How far does Peter have to go for Neal? The painting? Neal's history, family and then some.
Why Rec'd: I came across this story recently and I enjoyed it very much. It is a good case fic and will keep you involved from beginning to end. It has great friendship and team moments. It is AU with Neal's history but it is believable. I highly reccomend this story.

Title:Working Lunch (note: link is to FF.net, not LJ)
Author: Mojave Dragonfly
Spoilers: none
Characters: Lauren, Neal, Peter, Ruiz
Pairings: (if appropriate) none, gen
Warning: none
Summary: Don't you hate it when someone steals your lunch from the break room refrigerator? So does Agent Ruiz.
Why rec'd? The writer brilliantly uses the rare POV of Lauren Cruz here to give us a glimpse of Peter and Neal's dynamic. Not particularly sympathetic in the show itself, she stays in character in the fic yet still steers us towards a great moment of comfort towards the end. The writer utilizes an interesting flashback back, flash forward storytelling that keeps the reader interested all the way through.
