Caffrey Conversation Cast of Characters

The world of Caffrey Conversation is an alternate universe (AU). It differs from the TV series in that Neal never was sent to prison and the characters are several years younger. The personalities of canon characters (Elizabeth, Mozzie, Diana, Jones, Hughes, June, Sara) are the same. In canon, Neal's only relatives to be mentioned are his father and mother. In ours, his mother Meredith has a twin sister named Noelle who is a psychologist and they have an older brother, David (now deceased). Henry Winslow is Noelle's son and is nearly three years older than Neal. He works at a private investigation and security company called Winston-Winslow (referred to as Win-Win). Henry's grandfather, Graham Winslow, is former CEO of Win-Win. Peter has an older brother named Joe. All the relatives are shown on the Caffrey Conversation AU board of our Pinterest website.

The show tended to focus more on the interactions between the characters, and less on action sequences. That inspired the "conversation" aspect of this AU.  The first story starts with Peter wanting to have a conversation with Neal about why Neal is a criminal and what it would take to bring him over to Peter's side of the law. Both the characters' words and actions form a conversation in that story to convince Neal that it's possible. Throughout each story, the conversations between the characters are key elements -- even when it means reading between the lines.

  1. I've been reading your AU stories, and honestly... This stuff is pure. I love it all. Neal having more family is too cute, and the stories and character relationships is amazing writing. Phenomenal work!
