Title: More Life
Author:
embroideramaRating: PG-13
Pairing/characters: P/E/N (mostly Neal, Prior and Louis)
Word count: 1,780
Spoilers: none, but set post-anklet
Warnings: References to serious illness (not of WC characters).
Summary: Unsure of the future of his relationship with Peter and Elizabeth, Neal ends up meeting a couple of strangers who give him a gift of wisdom and perspective.
Notes: When I watch movies or TV shows set in NYC, I often feel the urge to find a way to cross them over with WC. This weekend, I rewatched the HBO miniseries of
Angels in America and felt that urge again. This story should make sense if you only know White Collar, but I hope it will have more depth for people who know the play/mini-series. Either way, I hope you'll take a chance on this.

Neal stared blindly at his newspaper while he contemplated his situation-should he stay and work for his relationship with Peter and Elizabeth or should he leave and make things easier for all of them-but he couldn’t help being distracted by the crowd around him. The men sitting at the next table were especially interesting, and Neal began observing them in earnest. )
