Title: Rescue
Author: [livejournal.com profile] china_shop
Spoilers: Big ones for 5x13!
Characters: Neal, Kate
Pairings: Neal/Kate
Warning: none
Summary: Neal gets a surprise.

Why rec'd? It's pretty much impossible to talk about this short fic without spoiling either the fic or the end of the season, but this is a lovely and unexpected outcome to the season cliffhanger!

Title:  You Ruined Everything (In the Nicest Way)
Author:  jmtorres
Spoilers:  Pilot/basic premise of the show
Characters:  Peter, Neal, Elizabeth, Jones, Cruz, Hughes, Kate
Pairings:  None
Warning:  None
Summary:  A story of missed connections, in which Peter doesn't know what to say, Neal doesn't seem to want to hear it, and Elizabethan translation proves vital.

Why rec'd?  The author takes something that doesn't seem like it should work and not only makes it believable but uses canon elements and dynamics to blend it perfectly with the show.  The characterizations are spot on.  It is funny, touching and features Awesome!Elizabeth too.

Title: Penelope Weaving
Author: [livejournal.com profile] florastuart
Spoilers: Through season one
Characters: Kate, Fowler, Neal, Keller, Peter, Mozzie, Adler
Pairings: Kate/Neal
Warning: Some violence
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 78,000
Summary: She’s never liked chess, and this is chess played in the dark and blindfolded, and all the pieces are broken glass. Kate’s POV of season 1.
Why rec'd? It's epic length Kate fic! How often are you going to find that? It's incredible what this fic does for Kate as a character. It turns her into such a person, a complex woman with strengths and flaws. The relationships that [livejournal.com profile] florastuart crafts are fascinating and multi-faceted. [livejournal.com profile] florastuart weaves a story that makes sense of canon and takes Kate far beyond what the series gave her. It's a wonderfully rewarding read, even knowing how it all has to end.

Title:  Fade Away
Author:  vpen1729
Spoilers:  Up to episode 4x06
Characters:  Neal, Ellen, Mozzie, Peter, Elizabeth, Kate
Pairings:  None
Warnings:  None
Summary:  "You know, for some reason, every great con man in the world needs to master the game of pool at some point in his life." Even the great Neal Caffrey had to come from somewhere. The story of how a dingy pool hall and an old grifter put a young boy on the path to becoming one of the greatest cons in the world.

Why rec'd?  I think that what I enjoyed the most about this story is how everyone is very in-character. The story is weaved so that everything that happens is basically cannon. It's completely plausible that this is what actually happened to Danny Brooks, and it explains why and how he became Neal Caffrey. Plus, Neal (Danny) as a smart and conning boy in the pool hall is something we all want to see, right? ;-)

Title: Pretty With a Pistol
Author: [livejournal.com profile] veleda_k
Spoilers: Set pre-series, but possibly character spoilers from later?
Characters: Kate, Neal, Mozzie
Pairings: Kate/Neal
Warning: Some violence
Summary: In which Neal's in trouble, Mozzie plays getaway driver, a truce is reached, and Kate gets to be a big damn hero. Set pre-series.

Why rec'd? I really love this look at Kate, and the characterisation for her, especially the slightly-wary alliance/friendship with Mozzie she has here, and the care both of them have for Neal.

Title: Dustland Fairytale
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] sholio
Spoilers: Through the end of season 2
Characters: Neal, Kate, Peter, Fowler, Adler
Pairings: Neal/Kate
Warning: None
Summary: The story of Neal, Kate and Adler.
Why rec'd?: This vid is beautiful and heartbreaking. It's the story of of Neal and Kate, yes, but it's even more about how Neal saw their story. Even more, Sholio shows us that it's not just their story. Peter, Adler, and others weave themselves into the narrative, their presence inescapable.

If you like Neal/Kate, then this is a real treat because there's not much out there for them. If you're not a Neal/Kate fan, then this vid will make you buy the relationship. No, really, there are comments that say exactly that.

But I think the part the hits me hardest is the ending.

Title: This Sea Town or That Bruising City
Author: lymricks
Spoilers: Through season 3
Characters: Neal, June, Alex, Kate, Mozzie, Elizabeth, Keller, Sara, Peter
Pairings: Gen, references to canon pairings
Warning: None
Summary: Neal wakes up in his pajamas on a beach far away from New York City, but everything's the same (except when it isn't).
Why rec'd? This fic is gorgeous. It's lyrical, soft, and gently surreal. Lymricks gets to the heart of the characters in a beautiful and surprising way. In all honesty, this fic never fails to make me cry. And bonus points for beautiful use of poetry. I decided to use the character study tag for this fic, but really it defies classification.
