When Neal struggles with an auto-immune disorder, it brings him closer to the people in his life, especially Peter and Elizabeth. Following Neal slowly healing from abandonment and trauma as he builds a family in New York. One chapter per month over 3 years, starting in roughly early Season 2. Resurrecting multiple fandom accounts to dump feels after finally watching the James Bennett arc like a decade after it aired while working out my feelings about family, trust, vulnerability, and disability.

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:
I found out from my parents - who I have successfully recced White Collar to - that it is no longer on Netflix UK like I proclaimed 😭 (I bought them S1 and S2 on R2 DVDs, which they have in turn leant to my sibling). And mostly the DVDs are really expensive and/or US imports. I might need to invest in a US boxset and rip it for posterity since it wouldn’t play on stupid region locked consoles that are my DVD players. I imagine it’s never gonna get a full seasons Bluray release (I can only find S1 on Bluray) but I can dream.

Can I please ask how yo thought the ending should have gone?
Sorry for taking a while to answer.
Warning for anyone who is reading who doesn’t want to be spoiled on the ending of White Collar, stop reading now.

I don’t have a specific ‘this is exactly how it should have gone’ but I do have issues with how it *did* go, if that makes sense?
It bothered me that he would walk away completely, not just from Peter and El and everyone he worked with, but from Mozzie too. From what I read in interviews, the ending was meant to indicate Neal could never give up that thrill of and freedom to do heists, and to me if felt like a turnaround from what we’d seen.
He ran before at end of S3 when his freedom was threatened *and* he had the treasure stash to sustain him, but that was importantly with Mozzie and he did choose to return with Peter eventually too, indicating his attachment to his new life he couldn’t entirely shake - he had wanted to stay and work for the FBI after all.
It’s admittedly been a while since I last watched but it felt like near the end of the show he was reasonably happy with the prospect of combining the thrill of heists with working on the other side, being able to play the game legally for the good guys. Not quite as good a thrill as the illegal heists admittedly but the compromise for his security and getting to stay around those he had come to care about seemed like something he accepted over the course of the show. The ending we got seemed to blast that out of the water.
I think I can in some way accept his leaving behind Peter and co, if he is convinced they will be better/safer without him as a complication in their lives, especially with a kid on the way, but him leaving Mozzie out in the cold just didn’t feel right to me.

heyy, i got a question. is Neal going to die in the end of White Collar?
The short answer is, no.
I’m assuming this is about my textpost that got kinda popular, about not being over the ending of White Collar. If you’re wondering why that exists, the slightly longer but still vague so as to not be overtly spoilery answer is that the ending they went with didn’t exactly mesh well with how I thought it might go, how I saw his character development, nor with what I hoped for the character. It wasn’t an awful ending but, for me personally, it felt like a let down in many ways, hence the wanting of fic to fix it. Still love the show though.
It’s 2019 and I am still not over the ending of White Collar. I need to go look for some fix-it fic.
