For Caffrey-Burke Day: The Right Words at the Right Time
Title: The Right Words at the Right Time
Author: anodyneer
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke (Peter/Neal/Elizabeth)
Spoilers: Extremely vague spoiler for 5x01
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: White Collar belongs to Jeff Eastin. Title is from "Baby Can I Hold You" by Tracy Chapman
Word Count: ~ 2200
Summary: As Neal faces his 50th birthday, regret threatens to make the occasion a bitter one. Thankfully, Peter has a very different way of looking at things.
Notes: This started out as a belated birthday fic for embroiderama (I didn't know about the birthday fic fest until after the fact, and then was encouraged to write one anyway!), but since it was finished so close to the Second Annual Caffrey-Burke Day, I decided to save it for that as well!
For years, Neal had loved Peter more than anyone or anything…and for as much as Peter’s reciprocation of that love meant to him, sometimes hearing I trust you meant even more than hearing I love you."
