A very belated post about my White Collar story Across the Street...
When I wrote the first fics in the Caffrey Conversation series -- which features Peter as a father figure for Neal -- I thought about writing something that showed them more as brothers. With so many ideas and time going into the Caffrey Conversation, I just never got around to it.
Then I started writing for a set of Flufftober prompts, with a fluffy idea for an AU: what if the Marshals had sent Neal, his mom, and Ellen to upstate New York instead of St. Louis? What if Neal grew up across the street from Peter and the Burke family?
