Title: What's Past is Present
Author: elrhiarhodan / elrhiarhodan / elrhiarhodan
Fandom: White Collar, Kingsman (Movies)
Rating: Mature
Characters: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, June Ellington, Mozzie, Elizabeth Burke, Sachmo, Bugsy; Harry Hart, Eggsy Unwin, Merlin
Pairings: Neal Caffrey/Peter Burke, Peter Burke/Elizabeth Burke, Harry Hart/Eggsy Unwin, Harry Hart/Neal Caffrey (past)
Word Count: ~18,500
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Canon Levels of Violence
Summary: Set in a universe where Season 6 of White Collar didn't happen, Peter asks Neal - now a year or so off of the anklet - for some help with a art theft case. Ironically, it's antiquities from the Mosul Museum, which had been sacked by ISIL in 2015, that are being sold by a gallery on Park Avenue. Neal's eager to assist, at least until he sees the buyer's name. It's one he's unfortunately familiar with - Henry DeVere.

Harry Hart and his new husband, Eggsy, had their honeymoon in Italy rather rudely disrupted when an old target resurfaces in New York City.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, or, don't blackmail spies. They really don't like that sort of thing.

Author’s Note: I started writing this in 2018, as a Chocolate Box treat, but set it aside when I got stuck (when my characters started behaving badly). I found it last week and realized that they were behaving badly and going all out of character because I wasn't being very nice to them. They just needed a little kindness to get them back on track.

Like many of my White Collar stories, it's based upon something I read in the New York Times. In this case, it's about the New York District Attorney's aggressive prosecution of the sale and possession of looted and stolen art. You can read the article here.

Summary: Peter loves being a father, even when his curious son finds things that he shouldn't have. When seven year old Neal brings him an old photograph, Peter wonders if it's time to tell his child about the man he was named after.

A/N: Written for the fifth night of Fic-Can-Ukah, for aragarna, who picked the prompt "A black and white photograph" and asked for "Peter/El, or Peter, in canon." The black and white quality of the photo is questionable, but I hope she enjoys this none-the-less.

Summary: Set very early in Season One, between Pilot and Flip of the Coin. Peter and Neal are still feeling their way through their very complex relationship, when Peter gets a call from the Marshals. In the wee small hours of the morning, Neal crossed out of his radius three times and the Marshals want to know why. So does Peter.

Author’s Note: Written for runthecon, from a tag from pooh_collector, "In the Bathtub". I do have to admit, this probably isn't what Pooh was expecting. But then I remembered an exchange between Tim and Matt in the March 2010 Webcast. See endnotes for the exact quotation.

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.

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.

Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke (as a human), Elizabeth Burke (as a tiger), Neal Caffrey (as a seal point Siamese cat), Mozzie (human and as something completely different), Satchmo (thankfully, as a dog). Implied Peter/Elizabeth/Neal (when they're human).
Spoilers: Seriously?
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Crack
Word Count: ~700
Beta Credit: I wouldn't dare inflict this on any of my friends.
Summary: Apparently, Mozzie lost track of the second full moon that month. And he keeps experimenting with his bee pollen concoctions. It's up to Peter to take care of things.

A/N: - Although Peter is a were-lammergeyer, he transforms at the dark of the moon, not during a full moon. Title from a certain Wikipedia entry.

Also, prompted by the ever-enabling sinfulslasher. She is, as always, to blame for the utter ridiculousness of these stories.
