Word Count: ~4200

Summary: A timestamp for the Nothing Will Remain 'verse, set at the point when Neal has gotten out of prison after serving time for crimes he didn't comment. He's alone and has nothing except his determination – and an access card for the New York Public Library.

A/N: Written for

sinfulslasher, for the second night of Fic-Can-Ukah, for her prompt "Walking at night through solitary streets." She'd originally asked for the Vet Neal (Ordinary Life) 'verse, but was kind enough to accept a story in this 'verse.

Title: Making a New Map
Author:

embroiderama
Rating: NC-17
Pairing/characters: Peter/Neal
Word count: 7,400
Spoilers: none really
Warnings: mentions of unpleasant aspects of prisons, nothing graphic
Summary: In a world where Peter never caught Neal, nothing went quite the same for either of them. After they met, neither of them thought that the attraction between them could survive the differences in their circumstances. They were wrong.

Notes: This is a sequel to Wrong Turns on a Lonely Road. The sequel started out life as two timestamps written for

elrhiarhodan and

doctor_fangeek, but it's more than tripled in length from those two ficlets combined. Thank you, chat friends, for the encouragement!

( ASAC Burke wouldn’t be going undercover to catch him, so this had to be Peter. Just Peter, the man who’d been kind enough to give a ride to a stranger alone in the desert. The man who had fucked him and then given him the opportunity to walk away. )

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!

Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, never will be, gosh darn it!
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.

Summary: Do I really need to summarize it? I think the title does this pretty well. These all take place in the same continuity but can be read as standalone stories. They were all written for this year's fandom_stocking. The link below will take you to the main series page (they were published as a series rather than a story for the purpose of gifting on AO3).

Summary: Following the tragic events at the end of In the Wind, Peter is facing the ultimate penalty and Neal is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep that from happening. Even as old enemies are sharpening their knives, Peter and Neal are not without friends.

A/N: Many, many thanks to my trio of beta readers and cheerleaders, who gave unstintingly of their time as this turned from a vague idea for some dirty prison fic into a massive and angst-ridden epic. And my deepest appreciation to the ladies of the

wcwu chats, whose enthusiasm for this story boosted my confidence and kept me going.

Title from Oysterband’s “Put Out the Lights”.

Title: You Must Do It Without Breaking
Author:

embroiderama
Rating: PG
Pairing/characters: Neal, Peter, El, Mozzie, Hughes
Word count: 8,900
Spoilers: through 2x01
Warnings: Sickness, food issues, loss
Summary: When Neal went back to prison after Kate's death, he didn't deal with it very well. When Peter got him out again, Neal wasn't ready to put the anklet back on and go rob a bank right away--not by a long-shot. (AU for Withdrawal)

Notes: This was written for a

azertynin's prompt on the

whitecollarhc Prison Block Party several months ago; it just took me this long to finish it.

(Neal was curled up on a gurney, his face gray over the orange scrubs, and Peter could see the truth of the doctor’s words in the bone structure that was too visible through the scruff of a few days’ accumulated beard. )

I was going to save this for November 1, but it seems like maybe we all need a diversion from Hurricane Sandy news, so…

Based on the results of our last poll , here is our next ‘fest.

Given that Neal has been in prison a few times, this is a natural fit for the fandom, but it can be much more than his experiences in prison, yes? There are many more prisons than literal ones – emotional, metaphorical, etc. And we need not limit the topic to Neal’s experiences, either – we’ve seen both Peter and El being held captive, have we not? Seems like a great excuse to get creative!

Detailed rules for our fests can be found here , but here are the highlights:

• One prompt per comment
• Warn for triggers
• Use the subject line!
• Use the word “FILLED” in your fills
• Feel free to post to your LJ and link here
• You’re an artist? Terrific – artsy fills are cherished and adored, as are fanmixes.
• Be nice. Have fun.

Questions? Leave a comment below.

This fest will last until early December, when we will be starting on H/C Advent postings, but – as with all our commentfic fests – we never really close them down.

Title: Whatsoever I've Feared
Author:

Rating: R
Pairing/characters: Neal & Peter gen
Word count: 1,492
Warnings: Past violence, some gross details, discussion of rape (no actual rape) (Highlight to read)
Summary: Peter always wondered about Neal's time in prison. When he finally asks, he gets an answer he wasn't expecting.

Notes: This was written for

frith_in_thorns's prompt at the

whitecollarhc Angst-a-palooza. Fills the "captivity" square in my

angst_bingo. Title stolen from Soundgarden.

( He was in his own territory, spread out on the couch with Elizabeth curled up asleep next to him, and maybe it was the combination of a long, exhausting week and the truly excellent whiskey June had sent for Peter's birthday that let Peter relax enough for the liquor to hit him hard. )

Rating: R
Pairing: P/E/N pre-relationship
Word count: 6,596
Spoilers: season 1 (AU after S1)
Warnings: Serious illness. References to rape/non-con. (highlight to read)
Summary: When Neal left prison again after Kate's death, he had to find a way to live with a new reality.

Notes: Thank you to

dotfic for the beta and to Galway Kinnell for the title. This was written rather belatedly for

rabidchild67's prompt at the Chronic Illness/Permanent Injury Fic-a-Thon.

~~~

( A woman in blue daisy-print scrubs took Walter O'Brien's fictitious personal information. When she asked about his sexual history, Neal dug his thumb nail into the tip of his forefinger and let the pain steady him as he told her that his last sexual encounter had been three months ago. That it had been unprotected. )

Title: Fear

Rating: G
Characters: Neal Caffrey
Spoilers: all three seasons
Warnings: None
Word Count: ~ 1100
Summary: Neal’s not afraid of a lot of things in life, but the fear of incarceration has been the one thing he’s never been able to escape.

A/N: Based on the comment made by Jeff Eastin where he mentioned the three things Neal is most afraid of: boredom, incarceration, and poverty. All mistakes are my own.

( One more line. One more day. )

**********************************
Title: Rarely Pure
Author: Ivorysilk
Rating: R
Summary: Mozzie had once quoted Oscar Wilde at him, stating, “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” He hadn’t believed Moz then--he'd been young, and foolish, and had still believed that truth was like art--simple and pure. He'd really believed that somehow, both would eventually set him free. But that had been before Kate, before Peter, before prison. That had been a long, long time ago. (Originally written for the anonymous kink meme, for for my own prompt, as well as for the "blackmail" square on my h/c bingo card.)
Spoilers: Not really. All the canon is vague, and the characterization is bendy to fit my own nefarious schemes.
Warnings (highlight to read): Language. References to past physical and sexual assault (not seen on-screen), prison nastiness, and stalking behaviour. Adult themes and suchlike.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, or this universe. I am writing this for my own self-indulgent fun, and because, like Neal, I clearly covet other people's things.

Many thanks to

teaotter, for her patience and encouragement and her insightful assistance without which, I'd never have finished. Thanks also to

rabidchild, for the quick and thorough beta, and for gracefully and graciously tolerating my last-minute demands and deadline. Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own.

Comments, positive or negative, are treasured. Thanks for reading.

Title: Even the Stars Are Not Safe in Heaven
Author:

elrhiarhodan
Fandoms: White Collar; L&O: SVU
Rating: R (for off-camera violence)
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Peter/Elizabeth, Neal Caffrey. Also, Detective Olivia Benson, Detective John Munch
Spoilers: S3.10 – Countdown
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Off camera rape and assault, allusion to prior rape and assault. Physical and emotional hurt/comfort. Gen/Friendship, reconciliation.
Word Count: ~21,000 (Complete).
Summary: In the two years following Elizabeth Burke’s kidnapping and her safe recovery, Peter has cut Neal out of his life, unwilling to forgive his part in Elizabeth’s trauma or the betrayal of their own partnership. The story begins with Neal’s successful completion of his work-release, and he says goodbye to Peter. It is a moment of finality. But time passes, some wounds heal and tragedy brings them back together.

( “I guess this is goodbye.” Neal stood in his doorway, Janus in a vintage suit and trilby. )
