Summary: A timestamp for the Nothing Will Remain 'verse, set at the point when Neal has gotten out of prison after serving time for crimes he didn't comment. He's alone and has nothing except his determination – and an access card for the New York Public Library.

A/N: Written for sinfulslasher, for the second night of Fic-Can-Ukah, for her prompt "Walking at night through solitary streets." She'd originally asked for the Vet Neal (Ordinary Life) 'verse, but was kind enough to accept a story in this 'verse.

Summary: Neal, a former employee of Vincent Adler – and the only person from Adler’s organization to serve jail time – has agreed to help the FBI find Adler, who disappeared over half a decade ago. Peter Burke, the case agent assigned to the Adler case, is worried about Neal’s safety and doesn’t trust the Marshals, so he’s keeping him close at hand. The attraction between the two men grows as they learn about each other and everything comes to a head when Neal finally shares a devastating secret.

A/N: Continues the story that began in Nothing Will Remain, the near-canon A/U, where Peter is an FBI agent assigned to locate Vincent Adler. He had discovered that a former employee of Adler’s, Neal Caffrey, is his ex-wife’s book keeper. Neal had been reluctant to assist the FBI, but eventually agrees to help them. This story picks up immediately after the prior story ends, but you don’t have to read that story to understand what’s going on here.

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.

Title from Oysterband's "Only When You Call."
