A Thief Among Thieves

A few weeks ago, Penna wrote about the do-overs and keepers that the Caffrey Conversation AU has allowed us to perform. Removing the felon aspect to Neal's character has permitted us to establish closer relations between him and his fellow team members. It also gives Neal the chance to shed his former life while the team benefits from his expertise. In Nocturne in Black and Gold, particularly relevant is the team's attitude toward Neal's skills as a thief.

One More Light Goes Out

When I heard that singer Chester Bennington of Linkin Park had died, I relived many memories while listening to his music again last night. The songs took me back to the time when Caffrey Conversation was in its infancy.

Shining the Spotlight on Clinton Jones

Writing a long series has given us the luxury of fleshing out many of the supporting characters in White Collar. Agent Clinton Jones is a case in point. Although he appeared in most of the canon episodes, he seldom got to speak more than a few lines and relatively little is known about him. What does Jones do in his free time? What hobbies does he have? Is there any romance in his life? Penna and I've been working to fill in those blanks while also giving him the opportunity for larger parts.
