I’ll be Your Family (If You Tell Me the Truth) by tearcreek, PG-13, [1/4]
Title: I’ll be Your Family (If You Tell Me the Truth)
Part: Chapter 1: Runs in the Family
Author: tearcreek
Fandom: White Collar
Characters: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Original Characters
Pairing: implied Kate/Neal
Category: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Summary: No one can run from their family. Neal's just brings something extra.
Mrs Foster’s eyes were wide, Reverend Foster’s eyes closed, his face pained. ‘That’s our son’.
Wordcount: Total, 17,500 - 18,000 words. Approximately 4000 per chapter. This fic is complete, just being uploaded across a short period.
Notes: + Written purely under musing interest of myself of how I saw a reunion between Neal and his estranged parents would go, especially if he came from a middle class religious background.
+ This is written with poetic license. Any legal/practicality errors should be held with the same pinch of salt as we take those in the show. That being said, I've tried the hardest a girl from Australia with no legal background whatsoever can possibly try.
Beta: How wonderful, the brilliant vella_amor_dm. Thank you for drafting and redrafting with me. It's a big fic, and such an honour you looked it over, especially more than once. Thank you so much.
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Allusions to the final episode of season two (before the hiatus). This is set in the vague future after that. No real time periods.
