Title: Abercrombie
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: none/gen
Characters: Neal, Peter, Diana, Jones
Warning: none
Spoilers: none
Rating: PG
Genre: humor
Author's Notes: This is all kanarek13's fault for linking to a video in which Matt Bomer was asked to show his (lack of) knowledge of Thirties slang. We started talking about how Neal would use these words to drive Peter crazy.
At about the same time - and against my better judgment - I got myself a new hc_bingo card. So, this is a shameless attempt to fill the first square (namely "job-related trauma") though I will be the first to admit that this is a VERY loose interpretation of the prompt. I'm just thinking that Peter having to deal with this kind of shenanigans from Neal should count as trauma. Right?
(And in case you're side-eyeing the title of this ficlet, it's another Thirties' slang word and means "A Know-It-All" aka Neal. *g* Thank you, Google. *g*)

Title: Shattered Heart
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: gen with canon Peter/El
Characters: Peter, Neal, El, Satchmo
Warning: none
Spoilers: none
Rating: PG-13
Genre: hurt/comfort, angst, friendship
Author's Notes: Written for the whitecollarhc Advent Calendar - based on elrhiarhodan's prompt Neal has never had a real Christmas - not with a tree or presents or any of the trappings of a traditional family Christmas. So Peter and El have him come over for a tree-decorating party and he accidentally breaks one of El's favorite ornaments. Neal is heartbroken. Can be OT3 or simply friendship. Messy crying Neal is a bonus.. This prompt, in turn, was inspired by kanarek13's amazing art work for this year's Advent Calendar, which can be found as header here.

Title: Rest Your Weary Head
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: gen (if you prefer, you might be able to interpret this as Peter/Neal and/or as Peter/Neal as part of Peter/El/Neal)
Characters: Neal, Peter, mention of El
Warning: none
Spoilers: none
Rating: PG
Genre: hurt/comfort, fluff, sick fic, friendship
Author's Notes: This was written as a fill for pooh_collector's prompt Neal's sick and achy and he can't get comfortable or rest at all until Peter finally comes around and cuddles with him. as part of the whitecollarhc Comfest 2014 Fluff Extravaganza. Because, really, we all need a Peter-shaped pillow in our life.
This is also a (slightly late) birthday pressie for cookielaura. Happy Belated Spankday! I wanted to post the next part of "Remedial Lessons" as pressie, but even though it's already written, it still needs serious rewriting and editing. So instead, have achy!Neal cuddling with pillow!Peter instead. :)
This also fills the "cough/cold/flu/sniffles" square on my Cotton Candy Bingo Card! \o/

Title: The Archeologist
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: none, gen (mention of canon Neal/Kate and Peter/El)
Characters: Neal, Peter, Kramer, Mozzie, Hughes, mention of Kate and El, assortment of OCs
Warning: mild dub-con and coercion, mention of sexual slavery, whump (hurt without comfort)
Spoilers: none
Rating: R
Genre: angst, prison AU
Author's Notes: Written for the wc_reverse_bb, based on elrhiarhodan’s awesome art.
Please note that I'm playing fast and loose with canon and the timeline. I do use several canon events, but not in the right chronological order. This is also an AU insofar that Peter was never the one who was after Neal. Instead, Phillip Kramer chased and finally caught Neal, who ends up in a prison in DC. Peter was never in the picture.
Beta by: the awesome hawk_soaring who managed to wrestle this monster into submission in record time...and under less than ideal conditions. You are awesome. Thanks so much!

Summary: In a prison AU in which Neal was chased and caught by Kramer, his life behind bars gets infinitely more complicated when a new prisoner called The Archeologist takes a very special interest in him.

Dear awesome mods, may I request a "character: kramer" tag, please?

Title: Shades of Gray
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: Peter/El/Neal
Characters: Peter, Neal, El
Warning: none
Spoilers: none
Rating: PG-13
Genre: cracky silliness, hurt/comfort
Author's Notes: Written because angelita26 gave up a plotbunny for adoption, namely “Neal finds his first gray hair”. The plunneh was apparently conceived during the nightly chats, of which I am not a member due to different time zones (just for the record...not that it helps any in avoiding plotbunnies, obviously...) I’m also sure all of this is elrhiarhodan’s fault. Because it usually is. Or, at least, it should be.
This isn’t betaed. Also, I will not apologize for the title. It had to be used for this! *g*
Word Count: 1,984
Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, never will be, gosh darn it!
Summary: Neal has been in a lot of dangerous, life-defying situations. Nothing could prepare him for this soul-crushing moment, though.

Title: Deconstructing Rebecca
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: gen with mention of Neal/Rebecca, Neal/Sara, Neal/Kate and Neal/Alex
Characters: Neal, mention of Rebecca, Sara, Kate and Alex
Warning: none
Spoilers: please assume all episodes, most notably 5x12 “Taking Stock”
Rating: PG-13
Genre: angst, emotional whump, character study, episode tag
Author's Notes: This was inspired by elrhiarhodan’s ficlet A Fatal Weakness and a comment I left in my feedback for it. So I made her give this ficlet a betaing look. Maybe this will deter her from distracting me from writing my Reverse Big Bang stories by posting wonderfully angsty Neal fic. *g*
Word Count: 400
Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, never will be, gosh darn it!
Summary: She was nothing but an accumulation of appealing characteristics, a best of Neal’s previous girlfriends.

Author's Notes: So, I'm in the middle of compiling my roundup post for All Things Written In 2013, and suddenly realize that I never officially posted this fic! *boggles* This was my entry for challenge 9 of the wonderful whitecollarlas comm, for prompt "fight".

Title: At A Snail’s Pace
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: Peter/El/Neal
Characters: Peter, Neal, El
Warning: none
Spoilers: none
Rating: R for some language
Genre: hurt/comfort, a wee bit of angst, a wee bit of humor
Author's Notes: Written for day 1 of the 12 Days of Ficmas, which is the December edition of my Unwritten Stories Meme. My sweetest elrhiarhodan prompted me with P/E/N on vacation for the holidays? Someplace warm and sunny? Lots of shirtless Peter and Neal? Of course, I had to add some Neal whumpage because that’s what I do (and that’s what Elr likes *g*)! This is actually inspired by something the_7th_swan posted a while ago about her country trying to kill her with local wildlife... Ah, the possibilities were endless!
(for more information, please see my end notes)
Additional Author's Notes: This is also my second contribution to the Hurt/Comfort Advent over at the bestest fandom community out there, whitecollarhc. :-)

Title: Imprinted
Author: Gaby
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: Peter/Neal (with canon Peter/El and indication of future Peter/Neal/El)
Characters: Peter, Neal, Diana, Warden Haskley
Warning: dub-con due to the nature of the alpha/beta/omega concept
Spoilers: AU that takes place during the Pilot
Rating: NC-17
Genre: AU, hurt/comfort, angst
Author's Notes: I have about a million stories with a fast approaching deadline, and what do I do? I go ahead and write something completely different! *despairs* This is a fill for kaylashay’s way old prompt “Peter/Neal/El - fuck or die”. (This is actually Peter/Neal with pre-OT3, so I hope that’s okay.)
I have to admit that I explored a new trope that I know basically nothing about. In none of my fandoms, the alpha/beta/omega trope was prevalent, so I’ve never actually read such a story (if you know of any in NCIS or White Collar fandom, please gimme link!). I have been fascinated by the concept, however, so I decided to use this prompt to explore the trope. I may have gotten it all backwards, in which case I claim poetic license and having created my own AU ‘verse. /disclaimer

Summary: The last thing Peter expected to find when he was called to the super max was Neal in the middle of his First Heat.
