Summary: What does the BAU want with Neal Caffrey? (This was written for bluflamingo in the 2010 xoverexchange. I can't believe I didn't post it here.)

( Neal walked into the White Collar division fifteen minutes late and more than a little surprised that Peter wasn’t waiting at the door ready to give him a hard time. )

This was written for a challenge over at usaland The vote was over on the 21st, so I think that I can post it here, even if we didn't get the results yet. It's the first/only "Five Times" fic I've written and I think that I almost got it to be a cohesive story. This piece is slightly different than the piece I submitted to that challenge -- and, I hope, better.

Diana wasn't going back to DC. Returning to NY to work for Peter Burke would be seen as a step backward, she knew. And she had no idea how she was going to explain it all to Christy.

But she wasn't going back to DC.

She'd earned the promotion that had taken her there. She was primed to move up the FBI career ladder. She knew what she wanted and she was on her way to get it.

But then she stood in the parking garage, facing down Fowler with Peter at her back. And Fowler had them dead to rights and Peter took the shot and damn the consequences. Peter Burke – the straight man, the "Eliot Ness" of the modern day bureau -- was willing to risk everything to do what was right. Was willing to risk everything to save a friend.

That's when she realized that she didn't want "bureau career" any more. She didn't want bureau politics or well-placed promotions. She wanted all that corny stuff people poked fun of Peter for believing in: Truth. Justice. The American Way.

No, Diana wasn't going back to DC. She was going to stay and work with Peter Burke. Superman.

Title: Coffee Thief

Notes: Peter has an unexpected guest for coffee. Written for the LJ Comm Cossoverland.

( “Don't you hate waiting for people who are shopping?” )

And it's not on tonight. One more hit on a day full of hits (and it's only 10 am). My car is in the shop (again). Still jobless. Bank account not in any shape to handle car repairs. Wil's birthday is tomorrow. Do I have a gift? Do I have money for a gift? No. (See car in shop dilemma.) The list of "Things we need to do" and "Things we can afford to do" is grossly mismatched.

Still. White Collar is love.

I am rewatching "Free Fall". I would say it is my favorite episode of White Collar, but I think that could be true of whatever episode I happen to be watching at the time. This episode, however, makes me want to write drabbles. Many, many drabbles.

I may actually do so, just to get my spirits up.

However, my mom is picking me up in 10 minutes to go shopping in Wausau. She thinks that getting out of the house will be good for my state of mind. She's not far wrong.

I think, however, that I need to do some writing tonight.
