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: Neal Caffrey, newly minted FBI agent, has been assigned to the New York field office and the White Collar division, but before he starts work, he needs a night for himself. A night to break out the leather and go hunting for the man he'd met six months earlier, the man who'd given him the best sex of his life.

Author’s Note: Written for cookielaura for Round Four of the wcpairings fic exchange. My recipient wanted Peter/Neal and likes BDSM. I hope this fits her bill! The scenes in the early part of this story were inspired by the short film, Interior: Leather Bar, which reimagines the filming of the mythical "lost" X-rated scenes from the 1980 Al Pacino film, Cruising.

__________________

( Despite the prestige in the assignment, Neal wasn’t all that pleased to be posted to the field office in New York. He’d wanted to be back in D.C., where he could keep focused on his mission – to climb the ladder at the FBI. New York City, the capital of the world, the Big Apple, was filled with all sorts of distractions. )

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.

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.

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.
