White Collar slash and het and gen recs
I've fallen in love the USA network show "White Collar". Ok, mostly with its main character, gentleman thief/con artist/forger Neal Caffrey. Neal is smart, and Peter Burke, the FBI agent who caught Neal and put him in prison, likes smart. The only person Peter knows who is smarter is Peter's wife, Elizabeth. Some of these fics are explicit, so please mind the ratings.
