Summary: Kal and Ben are in Dublin, meeting with Kal's money people, who tell Kal that the lawyers for his father's estate need to see him. Kal can't imagine why. His father's been dead for more than twenty years. What Kal finds ends up reshaping his whole world, and although the journey is difficult, it's filled with wonderful people - a family Kal barely knew he had, a friend long forgotten, and at the end, some complicated truths

---

Chapter Summary: All of a sudden, Kal realizes there are only six letters left, and he's no closer to understanding his father than when he started. That seems incomprehensible - thousands of letters over twenty years of a one-sided correspondence, and his father is still a mystery.

Author’s Note:

Three years ago, I found an amazing story, Ever Since Happiness Called Your Name, and it became my perfect fanfic. I have read it so many times, I can recite parts of it. I was lucky enough to meet WriteStuff, the amazing author of this amazing story, and even luckier to become friends with her, amazing person that she is. For the last year or so, we have spent many hours each week (or day) talking about Kal and Ben and their lives. They are quite real people to us now.

One of our conversations centered around a comment Kal made at the end of Beyond the Rightness and Wrongness of Things, when he's talking about his relationship with his father. He seems so facile about it, and I just called bullshit, and said I'd like to write a timestamp exploring the truth of what really happened between Kal and his father. This story is that.

WriteStuff was not only my cheerleader and alpha-reader, but she was a critical reader too, making sure my vision of Kal and Ben stayed aligned with hers, but she also gave me amazing freedom, too. Working with her and her creations and George's (well just barely George's now) has been an honor.

The title of this story is borrowed from the poem by Yehuda Amachai, Wildpeace, which is reproduced in the endnotes.

Chapter Summary: Chapter One - Twenty-three years ago, Robert Cahill left behind a large wooden crate as a legacy for his son, Khalil. It’s only just been found. Fate and good luck, two things the Irish have in abundance, seem to be smiling on Kal - he and Ben are in Dublin just at the right moment in time.

Author: elrhiarhodan / elrhiarhodan / elrhiarhodan
Fandom: Kingsman
Rating: PG
Characters Eggsy Unwin, Original Male Character, Merlin, Harry Hart
Pairings: Eggsy & OMC, Harry/Merlin
Word Count: ~7100
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Attempted non-consensual drugging (roofie), Prior, off-camera non-consensual sexual encounter, allusion to under-age prostitution
Summary: Twelve years a Kingsman and Eggsy has his decent post-mission routine down pat. A glass of Scotch, a good steak, and some vigorous sex with a paid professional. But tonight, for some reason, he breaks his routine after the Scotch and the steak, and heads to a dance club on Old Compton Street in Soho. Standing at the bar and watching all the pretty boys twirling on the dance floor, he notices someone drop something into a drink left behind on the bar. A drink belonging to a rather lovely young Scotsman with brilliant blue eyes.

The evening might have ended most satisfactorily in a bed, but he'd made the mistake of offering to listen to the young man's story.

Or, as Albert Einstein once said, "Coincidences are G-d's way of remaining anonymous".

Author’s Notes: As I noted in the AO3 tags, this is all eggsyobsessed's fault in creating a lovely OMC and fancasting Richard Madden. She'd given me permission to play in her SebWin sandbox, but instead, I decided to riff on the idea of an older Eggsy - just not quite as old as her magnificent version - and a different kind of meet-cute, but with plenty of good single malt whisky and Harry and Merlin as Eggsy's two dads.

It feels rather appropriate to use a line from the Elton John classic, "This Song Has No Title" as the title for this story.

Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, OMCs, Peter/Neal
Word Count: ~5100

Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None
Beta Credit: miri_thompson
Summary: Set early in the Wonder(ful) Years verse, Neal's just graduated law school and is stressing out over the bar exam, while Peter's getting ready to head off to Quantico and the FBI Academy. Peter's worried that Neal's getting burned out and wants them to take a nice, relaxing vacation. But life has a way of interfering with the best of plans.

Author’s Note: Written for Fic-Can-Ukah Day 5, for my wonderful and talented friend, kanarek13, who asked for Peter/Neal - Watching someone sleep. And yes, this one is LATE, officially LATE, unless we can pretend that it's still the fifth day of Chanukah somewhere (someplace where the sun hasn't yet set on December 29th).

Summary: Set very early in the Wonder(ful) Years 'verse, when Peter and Neal are freshmen at Harvard (circa 1984). Neal feels like he's been waiting for half his life to have sex with Peter, if just because Peter won't go all the way with him until he's actually seventeen.

Author’s Note: A long over-due continuation of Love is a Danger (of a different kind), and like that story, this is written for my very dearest friend, kanarek13, on the occasion of her birthday.

Summary: Set in The Wonder(ful) Years A/U in the very late 1990s, Peter and Neal are facing a work-imposed separation. Neither man is happy about it. But there's such things as air mail and email and even international cell phone service, so just because they're apart doesn't mean that they can't stay in touch.

Author’s Note: Written for the sixth day/night of Fic-Can-Ukah, for tjs_whatnot who picked "I am writing you from a far-off country" – Neal/anyone, or gen.

Many thanks to theatregirl7299 who gave me the suggestion for this story.

Also, this isn't late. The sixth night of Chanukah doesn't end until sundown, and I've got plenty of time.

Author’s Note: Written for kanarek13 on the occasion of her birthday. I know that this is a story she's been longing for. It doesn't quite get there - the story has epic potential and like most Wonder(ful) Years stories, it needs to be told in several parts.

Also written for the prompt that kanarek13 left for me on my Trope Bingo card: "College/highschool - the one thing I definitely still want to read is Peter and Neal's first time in the WY verse, you know, they talked and made up and wanted to finally do it on the weekend :D Or anything in the WY verse, there are still so many tales to tell there."

Title from the Eurythmics song, "Love is a Stranger"

Roundup – Trick or Treat Drabble Meme

For this drabble meme, I’d only really planned on doing my three-sentence ficlets for just five requests, but that never made it past the first prompt. Then requests six, seven, eight and nine arrived… And the fills got progressively longer – but I said to myself, “Elr, keep it to a single comment box.” That became a little difficult as the stories started to flow and epic ideas took root. A few of these are clearly going to be part of longer stories.

theatregirl7299 asked for something in the Underpants ‘verse. She got Private Pleasures

sheenianni asked for Alex/Sara (with or without Neal), and she got Dumped His Ass

kaylashay wanted Peter/Elizabeth/Neal, and received Tastes Like Chocolate

doctor_fangeek wanted a continuation of a slave fic story I’d started at the D.C. Meetup (which I haven’t yet republished). She got Expectations

palombaggia wanted Peter and Neal and anything with wings. This could have been a timestamp for any one of a number of different wing’fic stories, but I decided on a scene out of the Winged Neal ‘verse and so she got A Beautiful Obscenity

sinfulslasher begged for a variety of things, but seemed most interested in how Michael Burke, Peter's alpaca-raising pot-smoking father, celebrates Halloween. She received A Visit with Mozcow

sapphire2309 wanted some Neal/Sara. She got Repo Rides To the Rescue This one is definitely the start of something longer.

miri_thompson and I were chatting about some work issues of mine, and she asked for an AU where Neal was the charming son of the big boss, and Peter had to do his Performance Review (I do know that I got Moz’s real name wrong, it’s “Winters”, not “White”)

And last and certainly the longest. I broke my vow to keep these ficlets to a single comment box, because kanarek13 asked for Peter/Neal, Something Happy. And what could be happier that the boys going shopping for Peter’s Wedding Tuxedo in The Wonder(ful) Years?

Summary: Set about a year after the events at the end of White Collar Season 5, Neal tells Peter that he’s seeing someone – a guy. When Neal brings him over to the house, the Burkes get the shock of their lives.

A/N: This is a crossover, but I’m going to be coy and not tell you what the crossover is. Since this was written as a birthday fic for my dearest friend lumosed_quill, she’ll probably get what this is, because I wrote it for her.
