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.

Summary: Peter Burke, a young FBI agent, meets June and Byron Ellington during an investigation of a series of mortgage fraud cases. They take him under their wing and become his surrogate family. During his first visit to the Ellington mansion, he sees a magnificent portrait of a young man and becomes captivated. June and Byron invite him to spend Christmas Eve with them, and he begins to notice something wonderful about the portrait. For a little while, it comes to life. For almost twenty-five years, Peter spends Christmas Eve with the Ellingtons, and each year, he grows closer to the man in the portrait.

A/N: Inspired by kanarek13's artwork – or more accurately, the concept that Kanarek told me about, which set my brain whirring. I had the basic idea of this story plotted out before she finished the piece. I'm only sorry it's taken longer than I'd planned to finish it.

Author’s Note: Written for Day 7 of Fic-Can-Ukah, for sherylyn, who selected the prompt "Soaking in a tub". She'd originally asked for a story in the Wonder(ful) Years 'verse but I'd told her I'd just written something that involved bathtub in that world, so she gave me permission to write in any verse. But then I got completely and utterly bunnied by kanarek13's first offering for the 2015 White Collar H/C Advent, Hard Fall and everything fell into place.

And I'm once again taking advantage of the fact that the days of Chanukah run from sundown to sundown, so technically, this is still the seventh DAY of the holiday.

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: In the near-canon A/U, Nothing Will Remain, Peter and Elizabeth had been divorced for years, but remained very close friends. This is the story of how they met, forged an unbreakable bond, and why, when Peter is gay and is not in the closet, they got married. This story can stand alone, but the experience will be richer if you’ve read the other fic.

A/N: Written for the 2013 White Collar Hurt/Comfort Advent over at whitecollarhc. And I guess it's now official (if it wasn't apparent before) that there is a "Nothing Will Remain 'verse". When you write 30k for two stories in less than three weeks, it's pretty clear that there's a 'verse in the works.

Summary: Elizabeth Mitchell’s company, "Desserts After Dark," delivers fine cupcakes and pastries to the eclectic elite of Kings County (Brooklyn). Peter Burke, former FBI agent and one of the senior partners in the accounting firm of Hughes, Burke, is the bakery’s most loyal customer. But it’s not all fluff and cream cheese icing when he falls for Neal Caffrey, the Chief Baking Officer of Desserts After Dark. Peter has some serious issues from his past to deal with, and their road to happiness isn’t guaranteed.

Author's Note: My deepest thanks to angelita26, who made an innocuous comment in the wcwu chat one evening about the custom painted dessert delivery van she had just seen in her neighborhood. One thing lead to another and the next thing I knew, I had the start of my White Collar Big Bang story.

theatregirl7299 and miri_thompson also deserve extra-special recognition. Not only were they heroic alpha and beta readers, they gave me flawless story advice, held my hand, wipe my brow and listened to me whine about this for half the summer. I can’t thank them enough.

A special shout out to rabidchild for her help with cake. Many more thanks to all of the ladies of the nightly chats who’ve cheered me on and helped me over the bumps. You’re the best!

And very special thanks to my wonderful artist, kanarek13 for the cover and all of the incredible banners and icons. Her creative talent is without peer. Please remember to go here and tell her how awesome she is.

Of course, I don’t own White Collar or the characters portrayed therein. White Collar is the property of Fox Television Studios and USA Networks
