Summary: How Sara Ellis became part of Neal Caffrey's family.
Why should people re-read this story?: This fic was my love letter to Sara Ellis at a time when she was a sight less popular with the fandom than she is these days. A lot of people didn't appear to get Sara, but she made perfect sense to me from the moment she walked on screen with her architectural dresses and her sharp wit and her complete refusal to be impressed with Neal. With this fic, I set out to explore how Sara might become part of Neal's family without losing the qualities that made her her, and I like to think I did pretty well.
