Have some fic to celebrate me beating my panic/anxiety disorder and actually fucking finishing watching season four of White Collar. My
trope_bingo card is kind of a hot mess of no lines, just random prompts written, but who cares. It's my mess. :)
Title: Apocalypse
Author:
iamshadowFandom: White Collar
Pairings: Gen, canon pairings (Neal/Sara, Elizabeth/Peter)
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,160
Summary: There are moments when a person's true nature, character or intentions shine through, darkly or brightly. An observer or someone self-aware will be able to see these moments in others or in themselves. Here are four moments from Season Four where Neal saw something true that had been hidden below the surface in those around him or in himself.
Content: Friendship, daddy issues, episode/season arc reaction, implied past child abuse/domestic violence (off-screen, non-graphic).
A/N: When I got my
trope_bingo card I looked at the AU: apocalypse square with a bit of a side-eye, since End of Days fics tend to be brutal and grim and not the kind of thing I can read or write a lot of the time. But then I looked up the actual definition of apocalypse, and found out that the original meaning in ancient Greek was about discovery and finding something hidden, and after finishing up watching Season Four finally, I had some ideas about what I wanted to write. So, rather than a subversion of the End of Days trope, this is a subversion of the actual meaning of the word apocalypse back to the original, and it's not an AU of White Collar canon at all, at least, not until Season Five starts to air and josses it. Word definition thanks to Wikipedia, because that's good enough for me.
