My workplace is playing the short Avengers advert due to an Avengers tie-in promotion. Anytime I am in the right part of the store when it airs, I become hypnotized. My starry eyes are already a cause for laughter/teasing. WHATEVER. I want this movie now

Neal/Clinton (assuming you're still willing to write White Collar, that is).

Hope you enjoy the concert!

Potential spoilers for the Season 3 finale

No matter what Neal would think when he got hold of the transcript (and Clinton was under no illusion that Neal somehow would, closed meeting or not), he was not overcompensating in the face of arguable favoritism.

Truthfully, Clinton wanted - needed - to believe that reform was possible. The system could work, and maybe it had. Maybe Neal had changed, maybe the change went deeper than a surface gloss reflecting the desires of those around him. God, he hoped so

He knew he did hold people he... cared about to higher standards. But it wasn't the whole story.

Ohhhh! *clutches* I LOVE THIS! I LOVE EVERY WORD!! THANK YOU!!!

Yay, thank you! It's always fun trying to write a new pairing!

I like this explanation for Clinton's words. *nod nod*

Thank you!

I ADORE this! (china_shop sent it to my home email over the weekend so I have been flailing about it for a couple of days!)

It's pretty much exactly my take on that scene, too. ♥ ♥ ♥

Thanks! (Also, aw!)
