I mentioned that I was going to rec a couple of good White Collar fics I read last night. There was a Valentine's Day exchange at
whitecollarfic, and I'm still skimming through the output from that and from various kink challenges. Unfortunately, I'm pretty vanilla, so I don't go much for spanking/bondage or D/s or threesomes (there's more Peter/El/Neal stories than slash or Het, by far). But I enjoyed all three of the following:
hoosierbitch. This is classic hurt/comfort with a gorgeous structure, linked together by the dreams Neal began with and the nightmares he has left, told in a poetry that makes the structure all the more powerful. When Neal was seven and cold and hungry he dreamed that he could fly.black_eyedgirl. Bodyswap with great characterization and pathos, and the eventual threesome is non-explicit. This kind of story reminds you of why "bodyswap" is a popular fandom trope—when it works, it's absolutely worth it.by
thosewerepearls. The subject matter is edgier here, chasing the threads of desire crossing into pain and possession, but so captivating, and god—the use of language. Perfect example of how things can be clearer in abstraction than in detailed overdescription.If you enjoy these, please remember to give the authors some love!
