Just thinking about this today

and then there's this

[sunwarmed-ash]

White Collar fic list

Alpha Dog and Omegalomaniac: E, Neal/Peter/El, suicide attempt, A/B/O season 1 rewrite, angst with comfort, so much smut, omega Neal, peter and neal are obsessed with each other

'10 year anniversary': E, Neal/Peter/El, Fanart, AlphaDog fic related, Neal has tattoos and nipple piercings

Secret Gay-gent man: E, Neal/Peter, Neal/Peter/El, undercover as a gay couple, smut, threesome, club sex

I thought this was forever love: E, Kate/Neal breakup, Neal/Keller, branding/domestic violence, april is the cruelest month, consensual body modification but not sane or safe

Don't go just yet, there's so much that I haven't said: E, Peter/Neal, gun violence, hurt/no comfort, april is the cruelest month, blood & injury

I'd rather you trust me than to (love me): E, Peter/Neal, Neal/Keller, torture, april is the cruelest month, checkmate episode related, made to watch

Ask me how did I let this get worse: E, Peter/Neal break up, torture, hurt/no comfort, april is the cruelest month, checkmate episode related, sequel to ^ fic

Every damn day, I mourn the fact that we didn't get more story abt Neal and Keller's backstory

[gonnadosomethingwmylife]

White collar handles angst in such a great way because 3/4ths of the characters are emotionally mature, well-regulated people so when things like El getting kidnapped for the treasure go down, Peter doesn’t blame Neal or Mozzie, and even hears out Neal’s side on how he got the treasure. El doesn’t hold any resentment either because she recognizes Keller is to blame even though he was after their treasure.

I wouldn’t have blamed them for being more mad at Mozzie and Neal, but the fact they understood where they were coming from and never misappropriately assigned blame (Peter even tells Mozzie to stop blaming himself, because it was Keller who kidnapped El) is such a huge indicator of their maturity.

Also, Peter being able to see Neal be willing to confess and go to jail for his part in stealing the treasure allowed him to see that his good influence WAS changing Neal too. Peter recognizes that Neal is genuinely trying to be better, even if he can’t fully kick his habits, so even when Neal fucks up, he always keeps that in mind.

There are other examples, but how they handled the treasure fallout really stood out.

Matthew Keller might be a full-fledged scumbag (we like him anyway—don’t judge!), but Ross McCall seems like a pretty stand-up guy, so we’re sending happy birthday wishes to the guy who gave us our favorite villain.
