A Handful of White Collar Sentence Fics
13. Keller - Terms of Endearment
"If it's last thing I do, Keller, I'm going to kill you..."; he can't keep the grin off of his face as he replies, "Oh, you sweet-talker, you. Shut up and suck, Caffrey, or Peter never sees his precious Elizabeth again."
14. Peter/Neal--Texas Hold'Em
The goal of the game isn't necessarily to win, but to make "mathematically and psychologically correct decisions" about what to bet, when to raise, when to call, and whether or not to fold, but with Peter, Neal doesn't feel like he's making decisions at all; with Peter, the ante's so big, Neal's too afraid of losing this hand to concentrate on his cards.
15. Anyone - salvage
He's come back from plenty of bad mistakes before, but it's hard to imagine him and Peter salvaging something of their relationship after this.
16. Kids say the craziest things
She had met Mr. Burke, and Mrs. Burke, and so it made perfect sense to her except... "That's not my Unca! That's my Daddy!"
17. Fairy godfather for surreal_44
"You've got to be kidding me," he says, but the good-looking guy in the fancy suit just smiles; of course Peter would get a fairy godfather instead of a matronly old godmother; of course his godfather would have to look like some sort of male underwear model; and of course Peter would just have to have a huge crush on the guy.
18. Whittle for attackfish
It isn't Neal's fear that choosing wrong will break him (although once he's chosen, and he can't go back, an irreplaceable treasure - of one sort or another - will be lost to him); it's that, by the time he chooses, doubt will have whittled so much of his confidence away from him, that neither choice could possibly make him happy.
19. Blunder attackfish
Neal's finally done it, made the blunder that will send him back to prison; Peter watches him on the security footage with Hughes and the team all present, quietly dying inside, and then a woman in military dress steps out from behind a crate on the screen, and tells Neal, "Good work, Agent Larkin. To be honest, the CIA had completely given up on the Nazi treasure ever being recovered."
20. Ilk for attackfish
Neal once figured that a thief of his ilk could never settle down and have a family, never leave the long cons behind; but that was when Neal was young, and new to the game, and not yet aware that he has no ilk, no like kind - he is a thief unlike any other, and he can steal a normal life for himself if he chooses.
