Summary: In an alternate universe, Neal Caffrey is not the world’s greatest con artist, forger and thief. He’s a veterinarian. Peter Burke may still be the world’s greatest FBI agent, but his career in on hold. He was shot, point blank, six times and his recovery has been slow – but aided in part by the yellow Lab he and Elizabeth have adopted.

Peter and Elizabeth have a very special marriage – they have, on many occasions, let others into their life and their bed. But during Peter’s recovery, it’s been just the two of them.

Neal and Peter meet, the attraction is instant, and it’s the same when Elizabeth and Neal meet, too. While the Burkes want to make Neal part of their lives, Neal has a past, one that still has the power to hurt him.

This was wonderful--I read it all in one sitting, and it was moving and involving and filled with angst and emotion. Lovely.

Thank you so much - I've agonized over this story for well over a year. I was concerned that it was too a/u - that people wouldn't want to read a story where Neal wasn't a criminal.
