White Collar Rec List
Due to a shortage of Neal & Peter gen fanfictions lately, I re-read some of my favorite WC stories and decided to compile a rec list. Some of these are really old, so they don't take into account what happens in season 4 (making some of them AU).
platonic snuggling/ falling asleep on each other/ cuddling for warmth:
That's probably not even a genre, but one of my favorite tropes (I also wrote a couple "Neal&Peter snuggle fics" myself, so as a self-rec: Links are included in my White Collar Fanworks Masterlist). These fics could probably also fall under the h/c category (which I am yet to fill in here).
Afternoons and Afghans by embroiderama
Neal can't get warm so Peter gives in and helps him out. Total fluff.
Cold Comfort by Dragonfly
After an operation goes bad, Neal has to escape through freezing water. When Peter finds him, it's vital that he get him warm and dry right away. Snuggling ensues.
Coming Home by kriadydragon
Peter has someone important he needs to pick up. (Written after Judgment Day, AU of how the reunion could have happened)
delirious!Neal (drugged/ feverish/ hallucinating):
Like a Balloon by imbecamiel
No summary provided. But it was written for this prompt: Neal has to go to the doctor, either for a minor injury, illness or health assessment, and something goes wrong.
A Hole in You I Never Saw by embroiderama
Peter had never known Neal to use drugs, but that didn't change the fact that Neal was shaking apart in front of him.
Descending, slowly by winterstar
A feverish Neal paints; Peter worries
father/son, family:
You Ruined Everything (In The Nicest Way) by jmtorres
A story of missed connections, in which Peter doesn't know what to say, Neal doesn't seem to want to hear it, and Elizabethan translation proves vital.
A Place Called Home by Azcadelja
Neal is 15 years old and the best con his age. But when Peter catches him, he finally finds a place where he belongs.
Handler's Day by Stamper Comma Leland
"Handler's Day?" Peter feels clueless, as always. Handlers don't have a day. Handlers have a perpetual pain in the ass. And if some Sunday in June somehow became a Handler's Day, that's news to him - oh. Wait.
Happy Father's Day Peter by DjDangerLove
Peter never had a reason to celebrate Father's day, until now.
(Also includes Neal h/c)
Another Father's Day story: The Tie by tommyhanson
No summary provided, but it's basically a short fluffy Father's Day ficlet.
I don't usually like kid!Neal fanfictions, but this one is a really well written AU:
WITNESS by colakirk
Peter and El accept the responsibility for taking care of six year old Neal Caffrey, but unfortunately, the little guy has seen things that put him in danger.
Long Night by kriadydragon
Neal falls ill and Peter learns something new. (warning: Allusions to past child abuse)
Father Figure by Dickensian812
A drabble. Something strange happened when Adler said the word "son."
