Literally when I start thinking about how White Collar tried to make their main character a pretty playboy womanizer and at the same time gave their other main character a healthy loving affectionate marriage and the two things combined to make an unignorably poly throuple because Neal can’t not flirt with El and Peter and El are obviously in love and Peter and Neal literally joke about being a couple several times and yet there’s no jealousy anywhere just three people in love I lose it. “I made a perfectly straight FBI procedural” you’ve made a poly love story actually congrats that’s an upgrade <3
All my fanfic was assumed P/E/N
And yet again, I repeat, this was a nationally-run promo photo for White Collar and no, those handcuffs were not Photoshopped in by a fan:
Look at this still and tell me Peter Burke doesn’t have a type:
This is Mozzie–also-in-the-polycule erasure and I shan’t stand for it.
Anne gave to the fountain fundraiser (successful!) and requested: A Leverage/White Collar crossover, possibly with Eliot and Neal both doing grifting to get close to a mark who both teams are after.
Title: Handshake Across The Aisle
Rating: General
Notes: Neal definitely won the rock-paper-scissors.
The Gentleman Thief has roguish good looks coupled with a breeding and style that manifests as a suave and debonair manner, a real charmer. He steals for the challenge/pleasure of the job and generally avoids violence while restricting his targets to those who can afford the loss. Murdering your target or stealing from them at gun point is not very gentlemanly. It’s not uncommon for the GT to give at least a part of the goods he steals to the poor, often while very cynically commenting on social injustice and how the rich surely got their wealth with dirty methods.

Two weeks ago, I had a photoshoot in Shinjuku and wore something casual and easy to change out of and travel with. I liked the hairdo the hairdresser did for my second look and kept it (makeup was made by me, as you can see). I then visited Seibu Coffee while in Shinjuku and rode back home by bike (with a helmet). It’s a miracle the hairdo and makeup lasted(ish) all the way back home, so I took some outfit pictures.
Photoshoot behind the scene and kissa pictures on my Instagrampost.

The bad news is that the writer’s block that I’ve been in denial about for the past few months hasn’t left. The good news is that my desire for White Collar content hasn’t been impacted by it. In conclusion I made a short White Collar video edit for operationmorewhitecollar’s 12 Days of White Collar event, which occurs in December.
It’s the first video edit that I’ve been able to finish and feel enough good about to publish, so I’m really excited to see what you guys will think!
The video file is approx. 14.1MB, and a quick google search tells me that tumblr allows you to post videos up to 100MB so I might post it here. Other options I’m considering are posting it on youtube and/or ao3, and adding a link on a post here. Let me know what you think!
I know there was talk about making a White Collar sequel movie, but has anyone considered a White Collar prequel movie? I mean:
I bet when Peter got those cookies he labeled them ‘evidence’ and refused to eat a single one. Even after Neal called asking how they tasted.
Then the next day he comes home only to find the cookie box opened, half finished by Elizabeth happily munching away with a glass of wine or while relaxing on the couch after work or something. He tells her that a criminal he’s chasing sent them and for a half second she panics “are they poisoned?” but Peter reassures her “no” because the thought of Neal sending him poisoned cookies hadn’t even crossed his mind.
So El continues eating the cookies, justifying it with “They taste really good, and they’re [brand name] from France (or another country). It would be a shame to let them go to waste.”
Only then does Peter reluctantly have one of the cookies, only to find that they really taste good and helps El finish the box. He dreads (and simulatonously looks forward to) Neal’s next phone call because he knows Neal will know in a millisecond that Peter not only ate the cookies, but enjoyed them. (And that Neal will take this as in invitation to send more).

Side note tho, can you imagine how awesome a prequel movie would’ve been? We all know that Peter loves a scavenger hunt from that one episode with the 2 rich brothers and their late father’s cryptic will. Neal’s case would literally have been Peter’s guilt pleasure, so to speak.
Not to mention, the late night phone calls?? It could just be me but the way they said that… in my experience late night phone calls usually have an intimate vibe to them? I don’t mean intimate in the romantic/sexual way, more in the sense that people are more true to themselves/heartfelt. It’s type of conversation/mood that makes connections between people.
Don’t imagine Peter crawling out of bed at 1am to find his phone ringing. He picks up, and Neal’s on the other side. At first the conversation is one of half truths and cryptic clues (Neal) and promises of catching him (Peter), but since it’s 1am… it devolves into something else. Neal reminiscing about something, Peter letting himself admit that he loves the chase, loves the clues. Maybe Neal shares his motives for conning/forging art. Maybe Peter tells him why he joined the FBI instead of becoming a rich accountant (we know that he doesn’t regret that choice bc of El and Neal in my opinion, but we don’t know why he chose a different path. He didn’t meet El until after he was FBI).

Anyway the fanfics for Caffrey-Burke Day @operationmorewhitecollar are taking wayyyy to long to finish () so here’s something while y'all wait.
