White Collar OT3 fic recs!
So... I haven't posted about my love for White Collar, but I do love it. I love most of the characters (and it has strong and awesome female characters who aren't stereotypes! omg!), I love the con aspect (oh, surprise surprise), I love the COMPETENCE KINK demonstrated by both Peter and Neal, I love how it's fun and entertaining and at times utterly ridiculous, and I love how PRETTY Neal is and how well his vintage suits fit him. :D
Anyway, one thing that it has going for it, besides all that other stuff, is that it is really super slashy. Like, ridiculously so, to the point that I half expect it to become canon. (Those who have seen the finale especially know what I am talking about.) But you know what else it has? A happily married couple who I adore and do not wish to break up, no matter how much chemistry Peter has with Neal.
The solution? OT3, BABY. (Isn't that always the solution, really?) sophie_448 was looking for good Neal/Peter/Elizabeth fics today, and I happen to have read some the other day, soooo have a list of some I liked! Hopefully, people besides me and Stacy will find this helpful. :D

The Right Way to Ruin a Suit by gyzym (NC-17)
Peter's right; Neal really does wear too many goddamn clothes. Author's warnings: spanking, handcuffs, some D/s dynamic.
The first WC fic I read, which was really all sophie_448's fault in the first place. :P D/s is one thing I usually don't go for that much but kind of love about Peter and Neal, and this fic is a pretty good example of it. Includes tie pulling!
[except that you enthrall me] by purple_chalk (NC-17)
No summary given. Author's warnings: fisting and crying.
I KNOW, WTF I READ FISTING. But it is SO WELL DONE, GUYS. Incredibly hot and sweet, and El is totally in charge, which is awesome.
give us this day by smallbeer (adult)
ten things about cohabitation.
Looooooooove! Such a realistic, schmoopy picture of how they could actually function as a relationship, and I LOVE the narrative style.
Insomnia's Net Worth by gyzym (PG)
In which Peter can't sleep, and Neal's late night television habits leave something to be desired.
Cuddling, Antiques Roadshow, and Neal talking about his past. Adorable (and a little bit sad, but mostly adorable).
this true/false thing by gyzym (PG-13)
Some things are true and some are not.
A cleverly done character study of each of them with tons of UST and longing. Love the way this is formatted!
Shelter by hoosierbitch (R)
The week after, Neal stays with the Burkes.
A season finale coda that deals with the events therein in a realistic way. A little bit plotty, a little bit hot, a lot of issues and feelings, and the writing style is incredible.
There's a First Time for Everything by out_there (unrated, I'd say PG)
Neal swallows and Elizabeth realises he hasn't done this before.
Some angst/worry following Peter getting shot, and then some schmoop! Classic hurt/comfort, but the end of this story feels like flying.
Love Walked In (or, five things that didn't work, and one that did.) by asimaiyat (PG)
The one where Neal tries really, really hard to impress the Burkes.
I love the way this demonstrates the intricacies of their relationship and their characters--it's almost a dance, getting the three of them to all come together, and there's a scene in here that illustrates that wonderfully. Great insights into Neal, too.
Boundary Conditions by fahye, art by lizardspots (NC-17)
No summary given. Author's warnings: light D/s and bondage kink.
Nnnngh. The possessiveness in this is incredibly hot and true to character, and even though it's only around 6k, it feels long and slow and lovely. Very well done D/s, too--Peter is very much in charge of Neal in all things. The art was done by someone whose work I've liked since HP fandom! (There's also a timestamp here.)

This is by far not all the OT3 fics out there, nor even all the ones I only kind of liked. I am also not in this fandom, so I probably missed important ones! But hopefully it will provide an afternoon of entertainment to anyone else on my flist who is interested in this at ALL. XD For more fics, I recommend the Delicious tag, which was my main source in this endeavour.
