100 days of enemy recs: 25. White Collar
25 days in! And only 90 fandoms left out of my original list of 100 ;)
Another thing that's surprised me as I've gone through this exercise is how long it's taken to get to a fandom where the pairing is clever thief/the only cop who could ever catch him, given how archetypal it feels? And yet it doesn't turn up that often.
Even in White Collar, a fandom where that is the entire emotional core of canon, surprisingly little of the fic actually concentrates on the period before he was caught! (...this may just be bitterness because I just spent an hour looking for a fic about before he was caught that I am sure I remember and I cannot find. It's probably right there on AO3, I just can't match what's in the headers with what I remember. Oh well.)
I mean, a setup of the con man/art thief/forger who is brought out of prison to be a consultant to the only FBI agent who ever came close to catching him (and only caught him in the end because he let him) is already an EtL dream so I guess I'm not too surprised fandom mostly stuck to the canon period!
This is a fandom where I'm spoiled for choice but here are some absolute standards from it. They're all Neal/Peter/Elizabeth (Con man/FBI agent/agent's wife) stories because White Collar fandom is all in for the OT3, as they should be!
