Author: anodyneer
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, Mozzie (Peter/Neal)
Spoilers: None (AU)
Warnings: Panic attack/flashback, descriptions of car accidents.
Disclaimer: White Collar belongs to Jeff Eastin. Title is from "Wake Me Up" by Aloe Blacc.
Word Count: ~ 9200
Summary: When a beautiful Saturday out for Peter and Neal takes a dark turn, Peter gets a startling glimpse into Neal's past, while Neal starts to find his future.

Notes: This is the first sequel to Fill the Places I Can't Reach, an AU fic in which Peter is a former NYPD detective and the owner of a private security firm, and Neal is a Starbucks barista. Takes place immediately after the previous fic, and it's helpful to have read that one first. Cross-posted to AO3.

Title: The Face That You Have to Face
Author: anodyneer
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, Elizabeth Burke (Peter/Neal)
Spoilers: Mild spoilers for "Vital Signs," barely there reference to "Controlling Interest."
Warnings: No actual sex (intercourse), but includes non-explicit descriptions of frottage, mutual masturbation, and sensual/sexual touching. Also, though there are NO actual consent issues in this fic, and the characters are in an established relationship, one of them is drugged here (with a drug that doesn't affect ability to give consent), so it may be mildly dubcon to some.
Disclaimer: White Collar belongs to Jeff Eastin. Title is from "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters. Additional song credits are in the end notes.
Word Count: ~ 7800
Summary: When Neal is dosed with a drug that increases tactile and sexual sensations, Peter struggles with where to draw the line between helping Neal and adhering to his own morals.

Notes: Written for the Get Well Fest for the amazing kanarek13. Lots of hugs and positive energy coming your way, my friend! :) Cross-posted to AO3.

Neal sings several songs in this fic; song titles, in order of appearance - and even a YouTube playlist - are in the notes at the end. Also, drugs are dangerous, and the definition of "sex" for the purposes of this fic is the standard one - intercourse involving penetration (vaginal, anal, or oral). There isn't any here.

Summary: Neal's routine visit to the hospital - one made at Peter's insistence - suddenly becomes anything but routine.

Notes: Written for kanarek13's birthday! A concentrated dose of whump, followed by a healthy bit of cuddling. Also posted at AO3.


Peter shifted in the hard plastic chair and leaned his head back against the wall, closing his eyes and trying to block out the vaguely nauseating antiseptic smells around him.

Title: Nothing Left Inside For You To See

Fandom: White Collar
Rating: PG-13

Spoilers: None
Warnings: Panic attack, claustrophobic situation
Disclaimer: White Collar belongs to Jeff Eastin. "Let It Be" belongs to Paul McCartney. Title is from "The Last Time Around" by Rick Nelson.

Summary: Neal wakes to find himself tied up and trapped in a very confined space with an injured Peter Burke. Just when it seems like the situation couldn't get any worse, it does.

Notes: This is a fill for the panic attack square on my hc_bingo card, using pipilj's prompt, "Peter and Neal are held someone. Neal discovers Peter is claustrophobic."

The first thought to hit Neal Caffrey as he regained consciousness was that he could barely move. The second, that he was laying on his side in a very confined space. The third, that he was sharing that space with someone who was pressed up against him.

He’d only seen his handler and friend looking that ill once before, when he was poisoned while working on the Novice case. He’d almost died, and though Neal doubted this was anywhere near as serious, he wasn’t taking any chances.

Title: Humor Me and Tell Me Lies

Disclaimer: White Collar belongs to Jeff Eastin. "Hearts and Hands" belongs to William Sydney Porter (O. Henry). Title is from "Run-Around" by Blues Traveler.
Word Count: ~ 8200
Summary: When Peter's very ill with the flu, and Elizabeth and Neal can't be there to take care of him, El sets him up with a most unlikely caretaker - Mozzie.

Notes: This is a fill for two different whitecollarhc ComFest 2013 prompts - this one by saphirablue and this one by theatregirl7299 (a carry-over from FeverFest)!

I wrote a separate entry (link) with extensive author's notes/commentary because there are so many things to explain in this fic. If you just want the basics, though, here's a link to the O. Henry story, "Hearts and Hands," and this is the creepy surplus hazmat suit.
