Fandom: White Collar
Rating: R

Word Count: ~56,000
Spoilers: None

Beta Credit: sinfulslasher, who, once again, was absolutely heroic in her work on this epic. Also, deepest thanks to my good friends and constant cheerleaders, theatregirl7299 and miri_thompson, whose endless encouragement helped me every step of the way.

Summary: An alternate universe partially based on the characters and location in "Upper West Side Story", but with a twist - of the "Victor/Victoria" kind. Neal Caffrey teaches European History, but has an interesting and potentially career-damaging gig at his godmother's nightclub. Enter Peter Burke, talent agent and an old friend of June's, who plays the fairy godmother role to the hilt.

Author’s Note: My deepest thanks to my artist, kaylashay, for being so patient with me. Her artwork inspired me with what I thought was a simple idea, but nothing, lately, is ever simple. I had so much fun writing this, I hope it lives up to the beautiful art she created.

Summary: In some alternate universe, Peter Burke is a wealthy and bored financial advisor and discovers that one of his clients, Elizabeth Mitchell, is using her event planning business to launder profits from an escort service catering to the wealthy gay elite in New York. Instead of turning her in, he asks her to hire him. Neal Caffrey has been recently released from a four-year sentence for bond forgery and learns that his girlfriend, Kate has married his old boyfriend, Matthew Keller and they’ve taken off for parts unknown. Determined not to return to prison, Neal turns to his friend, Mozzie, for help. Moz knows a guy – or in this case – a gal who’s willing to hire Neal. As an escort.

A/N: Written for my very dearest friend and writing partner, coffeethyme4me, for Round Three of the wcpairings fic exchange. It’s been hard writing this without my writing partner’s sage and candid advise, but my friends jrosemary and theatregirl7299 have given me stellar advice and very strong shoulders to lean on. And I also much credit all of the wonderful writers at the wcwu chat, for their loving support when I kept crashing and burning through different story ideas.

ETA: I can't believe I forgot to thank someone so dear to me - hoosierbitch - who stepped in as Porn Doctor Extraordinaire! Thank you, sweetness, for all your help.

Title from the Oysterband song, Street of Dreams

In my dream the world was silver
Underneath a magic moon
In my dream I lay there waiting
You came naked to my room

In my dream I lay there waiting
You came naked to my room
Woke up sweating, arms all empty
Three o'clock in the afternoon

Every day the world goes faster
Turning faster than it seems
Let's not talk about tomorrow
Leave me here on the street of dreams
Leave me here… on the street of dreams

Walk right by me in the gutter
Lying here outside your door
I look up and see your beauty
Burning up and wanting more

Luck is far away as moonshine
Every deal a shaky hand
Fame is just an empty bottle
Fortune's just a one-night stand

( Peter pushed open the door of the Mitchell Premier Events storefront and nodded to Yvonne, Elizabeth’s long-time and long-suffering assistant. Her boss was with some clients, but Peter wasn’t going to leave and come back. He needed to talk with her and he was prepared to wait, all day if necessary. )
