Summary: Completely A/U from the start of S4.02 - Most Wanted (Henry Dobbs is no one special). The “Comfort” sequel to the “Hurt” in Six Hours to Freedom. What happens after Neal is rescued - Peter calls in an old favor to save Neal’s life, to keep them safe, and to get them home. Moz is a badass to end all badasses, except that Reese Hughes is also seriously badass. So are Jones and Diana.

A/N: At the end, Mozzie’s thinking of Francis Bacon’s statement: “Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.” My fandoms pollinate each other.

I should know better than to do Five Times fics. The beauty of writing a five times type story is that you can plan short vignettes that build to a respectable whole. When I planned this, it was going to be Four Times Peter Rescued Neal and One Time Neal Rescued Peter. It still is, except that the fifth chapter got a little complex, and ended up at almost 15k. I do hope you enjoy the story and each chapter - it has been a pleasure to write and I think that the only reason I ended it was because it was due TODAY!

Chapter 1 - At the Playground
Chapter 2 - Dodge Ball
Chapter 3 - Little League (Warning: Childhood abandonment issues, threatened sexual abuse of a pre-teen)

Regarding the title, there is a terrific and very lighthearted White Collar HS A/U called The Wondersmith Years, by Msrvc, which I discovered when I was collecting stories for the White Collar Fixation Fan Fic Fest. I had tried to change the title of my own fic, but there was nothing else I could come up with that was quite as suitable.

Title: Privilege
Author: elrhiarhodan
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Neal Caffrey (P/E/N), Diana Berrigan, Clinton Jones, Reese Hughes, Isabelle Burke (OFC)
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None
Word Count: ~7500
Summary: Peter’s sister comes to pay a visit; she has a problem that only he can help her with. Neal gets dragged in, and everyone gets a chance to be clever.

A/N: This story was originally published in March, 2010, and written just after the first season ended with a bang. Jeff Eastin played fast and loose on Twitter, telling us that Season 2 would be all about how Peter and Neal cope with Neal’s new role as an undercover agent for OPR, and that sparked the idea for this tale.

This was the third or fourth story that I posted and for some reason, I thought I needed publish in multiple postings (d’oh!) and it’s always bothered me. A friend recently asked for a complete iteration of the stories in the Paladin ‘Verse and having Privilege listed out of order and with six separate entries is annoying. But there was lots of lovely feedback and I don’t want to lose that if I took the original entries down.

Many thanks to leonie_alastair for the correction to Isabelle's CV.


(  The day started out fine, better than fine actually. Solid casework by the entire team resulted in a dozen arrest warrants, each one flawlessly executed against a network of illegal securities traders in three cities. But it took a nosedive when Peter and the team came back from a long, celebratory lunch and he saw who was waiting for him in the conference room. )

Title: It Should Not Have Happened Like This
Author:  elrhiarhodan
Rating:  NC-17
Characters/Pairing:Peter/Neal, Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey
Fandom:  White Collar
Spoilers/Episode Reference:  None. Completely A/U from Pilot onward
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Non-Canon Death of a Canon Character, Attempted Rape
Word Count: ~14,000 (in two parts)
Summary: In this game of “what if” this is how it happened.

Author’s Notes: In canon, Peter has twelve years of service in the FBI as of Season 2. For the purposes of this story, he started with the FBI in 1991, and at the beginning of the action, he has just finished his twentieth year.

My deepest, deepest thanks to jrosemary, who was so generous with her time and her advice and her handholding. I probably would never have finished this without her sage counsel. And many thanks to my beta rabidchild67, who not only caught the millions of typos, but gave me very wise story advise too. Thank you, both. Naturally, all errors that remain are my own. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
