:D This is really sweet.

White Collar, definitely my favourite fandom of the moment!

[oxoniensis]

Thank you!

My first attempt at writing White Collar - much as I adore the show, I don't seem to read it much, and hadn't had a single fic idea before doing the Advent Calendar.

[loki_dip]

It's one of the fandoms I've fallen into, but I get what you mean. Sometimes it's like the show is complete on it's own and the fic doesn't add anything for you? If that makes sense... I find that with shows like Psych.

[oxoniensis]

It makes perfect sense. Some shows are incredibly frustrating because you want things from them and you just know you'll never get them, so you have to read/write fic. And other shows give you practically everything you want. I think White Collar falls somewhere in the middle for me.

Aw! Very sweet! I love that Peter didn't realize Neal was acting, that Neal gets to have his moment of "got you, too!"

Very very adorable!

[oxoniensis]

I think every now and then Peter forgets what a good con-man Neal is, and that was one of those moments!

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is the *adorablest*.

And there's just something about "I can be something of a handsy drunk," he says unrepentantly. that is so perfectly...perfect that I may have clapped a little.

[oxoniensis]

Hee, thank you! After seeing him drugged, I could just imagine him drunk.

My favorite bit is Peter thinking "lifted." Yesssss.

[oxoniensis]

Neal is a bad influence!

Thanks again for your help!

EEeeeeeeeee this is SO DELIGHTFUL OMG THANKYOU!! I love Peter's exasperation at Neal in the club and his changing morals and worrying about Neal sulking and snarking and eeeee, KISSING! <33 <33 <33

Whee, I'm so happy you enjoyed it - it was great fun to try writing them at last! Though I'd hoped to be able to write more for you - I just couldn't seem to get them going anywhere beyond the kiss. That's the trouble with having your characters kiss in a car on a busy street! *g*
