On a modly note, I want to say that it has been a total pleasure working with all of you. While one participant needed to drop out for health reasons, they told me early enough to put out the call and a pinch hitter quickly stepped in (many thanks, treonb). One author needed some extra time because of technical issues and another asked for an extra day because of health issues, but again, both let me know well in advance of their posting date.

Thank you from my bottom of my heart, you made my job VERY easy this time around. Looking forward to seeing you in next year's round.

Title: The Greatest Secrets are Always Hidden in the Most Unlikely Places
Author: hurinhouse
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: NC-17

Disclaimer: Entirely fiction
Notes: For theatregirl7299 :) for wcpairings thank you so much for the FANTASIC prompts!


Notes: I had this mostly done weeks ago but my laptop died and I didn't get it back till Monday night. Elrh was kind enough to tack me on at the end - thank you! - but if the ending seems thin, I apologize.




The Greatest Secrets are Always Hidden in the Most Unlikely Places

Title: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Author: theatregirl7299
Fandom: White Collar
Characters/Pairings: Neal/Peter
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,315
Spoilers: None
Beta Credit: elrhiarhodan
Warnings: Slave Fic
Summary: Peter Burke just took down the Dutchman and the Powers That Be decided to give him a reward - Neal Caffrey, slave. But it seems that Peter forgot to read the fine print on just what KIND of slave he got....


A/N - Written for the lovely sinfulslasher for this round of wcpairings. I hope I did your prompts justice.


This way to the fic…

Title: Don't Need A Dozen Roses
Characters (Pairings) Sara Ellis, Neal Caffrey, Mozzie, (Sara/Neal)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6456
Disclaimer: White Collar is Jeff Eastin's brainchild. Not mine.
Summary: Sara Ellis is confronted with a case that promises to be just as exciting as she expects it to be and a client who's going to be a pain in rather more unexpected ways.
Content Note: This story portrays the very beginning of a D/s relationship. If you'd like to know anything at all about kinks mentioned or explored in this story, please don't hesitate to PM me.
Author's Note: This fic is for citrinesunset, for the wcpairings exchange, with love. I hope you enjoy it! It follows one of your prompts as closely as I could manage. And I am so sorry for the delay!!! Real life staged multiple interventions.
Be warned, italics have been merrily overused.
Pardon the formal register of my writing - I've been watching far too much of The Royals.
The title's from the Nicki Minaj song Get On Your Knees. I would call it the anthem of this fic if my words didn't always end up this damned sappy. As things are, this fic is also inspired by Same Old Same Old, Dust to Dust, Eavesdrop, Disarm, and Poison and Wine, all by The Civil Wars, all delightfully angsty. The Civil Wars write and sing the best Neal/Sara songs. (Disarm is a cover, for the record.)
Sara's a lawyer in this AU. I, however, am not. (In this AU or in real life.) And even if I was, I still wouldn't have much of a clue of the American legal system, which is not the same as the Indian one. So I bullshitted my way through the legal stuff. Most of it is probably inaccurate. Prior warning issued. Sorry not sorry.
There will be more in this verse! Maybe. Look to Can't Hold You Closer Than This for my (totally nonexistent, I can assure you) reliability with delivering on fic-related promises. (This one might just get written, though, because it's mainly sexy fun times. No promises!)

Author’s Note: Written for sheenianni. One of her prompts was “Neal/Sara, Neal has June meet their first kid. Sara and June share tips and exchange stories about the joys and challenges of living with retired con men. Bonus points for background Mozzie.” I decided to include some more characters.

Author's note Written for sapphire2309. There was a songfic prompt, which this... isn't really a fill to, though the song influenced it (I've had it in stuck my head for a week now. Yay.)

Title: The Best Laid Plans
Author: elrhiarhodan

Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairings: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, June Ellington, Clinton Jones, Reese Hughes, reference to Mozzie, reference to Diana Berrigan, reference to Lauren Cruz; Peter Burke/Neal Caffrey

Beta Credit: sinfulslasher
Summary: Neal Caffrey, newly minted FBI agent, has been assigned to the New York field office and the White Collar division, but before he starts work, he needs a night for himself. A night to break out the leather and go hunting for the man he'd met six months earlier, the man who'd given him the best sex of his life.

Author’s Note: Written for cookielaura for Round Four of the wcpairings fic exchange. My recipient wanted Peter/Neal and likes BDSM. I hope this fits her bill! The scenes in the early part of this story were inspired by the short film, Interior: Leather Bar, which reimagines the filming of the mythical "lost" X-rated scenes from the 1980 Al Pacino film, Cruising.

__________________

Despite the prestige in the assignment, Neal wasn’t all that pleased to be posted to the field office in New York. He’d wanted to be back in D.C., where he could keep focused on his mission – to climb the ladder at the FBI. New York City, the capital of the world, the Big Apple, was filled with all sorts of distractions.

Author's Note: This is for sandy79, who asked for Sara and El bonding in the aftermath of 3x16, as part of the wcpairings exchange. Many thanks to reve_silencieux for the helpful advice and beta!


The soft knock on the door startled her, wresting her out of her moody reverie. Sara put down the book she was pretending to read and walked up to the door. For a moment, she hoped it would be Neal. She hoped he hadn’t disappeared on her, that history wasn’t repeating itself.
