Rating: R

Summary: When Kramer succeeds in his plans and drags Neal with him to DC, Neal refuses to surrender and accept his fate. Instead, he pulls a destructive con to get back what he lost. AU, a darker portrayal of Neal, tag to Judgment Day.
Why should people re-read this story?: This was far out of my comfort zone and it’s quite twisted, but it’s still one of my favorite things that I’ve written. Maybe because it explores Neal as a con man at his absolutely best and worst – in his quest to ruin Kramer and get his freedom, Neal is brilliant, ruthless and as much a danger to himself as to the target of his ire.
