May Recommendations – Friendship

It's May and bromance is in the air.

The friendship between Peter and Neal, between Neal and Elizabeth, Neal and Moz, Neal and June and between all of the other White Collar characters is legendary. May is the month to celebrate the friendships that drew us into the show and kept us coming back season after season, so share with us your stories about all of the good friends.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before November 2014), but the older the fanwork, the better.

You can always recommend as many fanworks from other creators as you want to (but do check to see that they haven't yet been rec'd here on

wcredux), and they must also be at least six month old.

Please use this posting template:

Posts for this theme will be open until May 31. Early next month, your mods will collect the recommendations and add them to the master list.

Please don't hesitate to contact a mod if you have any questions.

April Recommendations - Humor and Crack

Who doesn't like a good joke, practical or otherwise? Fanworks with featuring humor and fun, or are simply cracky, are the focus for April. Please recommend stories and vids and art that make you LOL or ROTFL, or ROTFLMAO, or simply smile.

Special Theme Week - The Week of March 21 - Celebrating Neal’s Birthday

In Ancient History, we learned that Neal's birthday is March 21 (and he's an Aries). For the entire week (March 21 – March 27),

wcredux is asking for recommendations for stories featuring Neal-as-child or Kid!Neal (de-aged) fanworks.

Same rules apply to Special Theme Weeks - one story that you've written, and it must be at least six month old (written before September, 2014).

You can always recommend as many fanworks from other creators as you want to (but do check to see that they haven't yet been rec'd here on

wcredux), and they must also be at least six month old.

Posts for this Special Theme Week will remain open until 11:59 PM on March 27. Afterwards, your mods will collect the recommendations and add them to the master list.

March Recommendations – Hurt/Comfort

Since the very beginning of the White Collar Fandom, the theme of Hurt/Comfort has been preeminent. The White Collar Hurt/Comfort Community is one of the most vibrant on LJ and your mods know how much fanworks creators love this theme. That's why we're opening up the throttle and letting everyone's inner hurt-comforteers run free.

Instead of one fanwork this month, creators can make multiple recs of their own creations here on

wcredux. But (and isn't there always a "but") each recommendation has to feature a different whumpee. For example, one self-rec can have Neal as the whumpee, another rec, Peter, and a third might be Elizabeth, and so on.

The age rules for the fanwork are still in effect – the work must be at least six months old (i.e., published before September 2014), and of course, the older the fanwork, the better.

February Rec - Travel Well and Come Home Safe

Author:

elrhiarhodan
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Neal Caffrey, OMC, Peter/Elizabeth/Neal
Rating: R
Word Count: 7400
Theme: Romantic and Schmoopy Fics
Original Publication Date: 23 October 2013
Content Notes: None
Summary: During his years in prison, his time on the anklet, Neal dreams of travel. He’s a free man now and when the opportunity to consult with the Los Angeles field office comes up, he doesn’t hesitate to accept. Getting to LA isn’t a problem, it’s getting back to New York that the issue.
Why should people re-read this story?: It's a fun story with very little angst, told almost from Neal's point of view. Anyone who's experienced the horrors of air travel will sympathize with poor, exhausted Neal.

February Recommendations - Romance and Schmoop

Some of us hate St. Valentine's Day and the manufactured romance, but you have to admit that it makes for a potent theme in the bleakness of mid-winter.

wcredux wants your romantic and your schmoopy fanwork recommendations. And if you find that you are opposed, in principal, to the very idea of Valentine's Day, then give us a recommendation for a trainwreck of a relationship.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before August 2014), but the older the fanwork, the better.

Author:

elrhiarhodan
Characters/Pairings: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, Elizabeth Burke, Reese Hughes, Diana Berrigan, Clinton Jones, Mozzie, June Ellington, Amanda Calloway, OMC, OFC, Peter/Elizabeth, Peter/Neal, Neal/OMC
Rating: R
Word Count: 28,000 (Four Parts)
Theme: First Times
Original Publication Date: April 23, 2013
Content Notes: Dub-Con, Violence
Summary: Following the tragic events at the end of In the Wind, Peter is facing the ultimate penalty and Neal is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep that from happening. Even as old enemies are sharpening their knives, Peter and Neal are not without friends.
Why should people re-read this story?: I've written quite a few first-time stories before, but this one is in a difficult and dangerous setting (a first for me), and I think it's one of the most lyrical first times I've ever written.

sinfulslasher
Characters/Pairings: Peter & Neal; pre-Peter/Neal
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 738
Theme: First Times
Original Publication Date: November 04, 2013
Content Notes: none
Summary: It’s never a good idea to play poker with Neal.
Why should people re-read this story?: I'm really proud of this little gem. It's short and funny. At the same time, it's all about sneaky Neal being sneaky and finding a way to get what he wants (namely Peter).

January Recommendations - First Times

It's a New Year, and what better time to bring out the old fanworks! Because it's a new year, it's also a time for fresh starts and new beginnings and very first times. That can mean anything - a first date, a first kiss, a first night in prison!

wcredux wants you to share your best White Collar first times for the entire month of January.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before July 2014), but the older the fanwork, the better.
