sinfulslasher who was heroic in her work on this story, despite having her own fic to write. Her advice was invaluable, even when I didn't take it.

kanarek13 "This is the geography of his body" – Anything Peter/Neal. This is actually a joint inspiration. A few weeks back, I was very intensely bunnied by a piece of Kanarek's artwork (what else is new) called Rescue, and I was so delighted to be able to work Kanarek's chosen prompt into the story that was already eating my brain.

And when I starting brainstorming the idea with Kanarek, she came up with other awesome artwork to keep my inspiration at a high boiling point and then created the cover.

My deepest thanks to my alpha reader and cheerleader,

theatregirl7299, who was also my sanity check and endless well of information for all things Roman Catholic and priestly.

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: The Urban Dictionary defined "head canon" as idea or opinion about a fictional series (Book, TV, Comic, or otherwise) that is true in one's head, but has not become a canon fact.

A few weeks ago, in an attempt to fight off both a cold and the blahs, I ask friend to pick a White Collar character and I'd give them my head canon for that character, plus a tiny ficlet.

Please note, there are spoilers in these ficlets for all aired episodes (up to S6.05). Also, please pay attention to the chapter titles - there are warnings therein.

Summary: Last May, I did a three-sentence A/U prompt meme, where I asked readers to give me an A/U prompt and a pairing or character. The challenge was to write a complete story in three sentences. All told, I filled 106 prompts. Some of these are tiny tags to existing fics, others are clearly the start of something major.

The prompts range from crossovers and fusions to historical a/us to some very creative and challenging scenarios. Thank you to everyone who left prompts for me, I hope you have a chance to enjoy all of these again.

Summary: On a hot June day, one summer in the near future, Ned Weeks finds himself in a West Village coffee shop. When he overhears a fascinating conversation about blackmail, kidnapping and getting shot at, he has to take a look. One of the speakers is definitely a Fed – Ned can tell just by the haircut and the ugly suit. The other man is his lover, Felix. Except that Felix has been dead for thirty years.

Then he remembers…

__________________

Author's Notes: Ned Weeks is – as a matter of public record – a fictional stand-in for Larry Kramer, author, screenwriter, playwright, AIDS and human rights activist. The Normal Heart is intensely biographical, as is the sequel, The Destiny of Me. However, much of the character of the older Ned Weeks, as portrayed in this story, has been informed by the public persona of Larry Kramer, and I’ve used certain events in Larry Kramer’s life as if they’d happened to Ned.

I have tried to be true to the character of Ned Weeks and be respectful of his creator.

The title of this story is taken from the lyrics to Simon and Garfunkel’s song, “The Only Living Boy in New York,” which was used in the closing scene of the HBO production of The Normal Heart.

My thanks to

wickhouse2005 for her prompt over at

whitecollarhc’s “Comfest 2014” – “Neal is Felix's son, Ned runs into him at a pride event.” I also must thank my dearest

sinfulslasher for pointing me to this – I might have otherwise missed it.

I must also thank the ladies of the

wcwu chats who’ve supported and encouraged me along this sometimes difficult journey towards finishing what I thought would be a short, 3000 word story. I am eternally grateful to you, my friends.

And my deepest thanks go to my artist,

kanarek13, who has created so many incredible illustrations. Not only am I humbled by her talents, I am in awe of her ability to read my mind. Without so much as a word from me, she captured the leitmotif of this story. Thank you!
