Summary: Elizabeth Mitchell’s company, "Desserts After Dark," delivers fine cupcakes and pastries to the eclectic elite of Kings County (Brooklyn). Peter Burke, former FBI agent and one of the senior partners in the accounting firm of Hughes, Burke, is the bakery’s most loyal customer. But it’s not all fluff and cream cheese icing when he falls for Neal Caffrey, the Chief Baking Officer of Desserts After Dark. Peter has some serious issues from his past to deal with, and their road to happiness isn’t guaranteed.

Author's Note: My deepest thanks to angelita26, who made an innocuous comment in the wcwu chat one evening about the custom painted dessert delivery van she had just seen in her neighborhood. One thing lead to another and the next thing I knew, I had the start of my White Collar Big Bang story.

theatregirl7299 and miri_thompson also deserve extra-special recognition. Not only were they heroic alpha and beta readers, they gave me flawless story advice, held my hand, wipe my brow and listened to me whine about this for half the summer. I can’t thank them enough.

A special shout out to rabidchild for her help with cake. Many more thanks to all of the ladies of the nightly chats who’ve cheered me on and helped me over the bumps. You’re the best!

And very special thanks to my wonderful artist, kanarek13 for the cover and all of the incredible banners and icons. Her creative talent is without peer. Please remember to go here and tell her how awesome she is.

Of course, I don’t own White Collar or the characters portrayed therein. White Collar is the property of Fox Television Studios and USA Networks

Summary: After the anklet comes off, Neal decides he needs to leave New York. He’s too much in love with Peter to stay, and Peter is too conflicted about his own feelings to try and convince him not to leave. Neal ends up in Montreux, Switzerland, and discovers that freedom his meaningless without anyone to share it with. Before he can go home, his life is changed in an instant, and the changes are terrible and permanent.

Author's Notes: This story began as an idea I had well over a year ago. I had even posed the question to my flist on where it should be set. Many thanks to elainasaunt for her suggestion to set it in Montreux, which worked perfectly.

Writing physical H/C doesn't come naturally to me, so I've had a lot of cheerleading along the way. First and always, when it comes to laying on the hurt, is rabidchild, she helped me sort out some of my issues early on, and even though this story sat for a long time, her words of wisdom stuck with me. Also very special thanks to both winterstar95 and arsenicjade. These ladies are also H/C queens who helped me get the wheels of this story going after it stalled in a great fit of uncertainty.

Of course, it goes without saying that nothing would have been written without my cheerleaders and dearest friends, jrosemary and coffeethyme4me. Their encouragement made everything possible.

A very special thank you to kanarek13, who created all of the lovely art you see here – the cover, the banners and the icons.

Title from the Carol King classic, You’ve Got a Friend.

Funny thing, I’ve had this story in my head ever since Neal said his father was a dirty cop. And my head cannon was frighteningly close to cannon cannon so like to think my brain is magical. :D

Many thanks to my beta, jennamcquaid for making this story readable and limiting my coma craziness.

I'll post the links to the art as soon as i have them

On to the story!

EDIT; Sorry, I forgot to post the accompanying fan mix. :/

Rating: NC-17, just to be sure
Word Count: ~ 14k
Spoilers: set after 3.08, also: this is sort of a case!fic, but I'm not clever enough to think up some cool twists and turns and perfect plans to rob someone, so it's only the base for the story, but not focused too much on it

Disclaimer: I do not own White Collar or its characters

Author's Note #1: THANK YOU, whitecollar_bb mods and everyone for being so patient with me and letting me move my posting date! RL is still pretty hectic, but I finally got to finish this piece *hands*
Author's Note #2: This fic is still in need of a beta. I ran it through spell checks and everything, but I'm German and English is not my first language, so I'm sure there's still something wrong. I haven't found any beta yet (this is my first story outside my Supernatural fandom) but I will keep working on this fic until it's perfect.
Author's Note #3: Now I finally understand why everyone is bitching about LJ and why everyone said how impossibly long it takes to post anything...

Author's Note #4: Now, I hope you'll like my first ever story in the White Collar fandom and I keep my fingers crossed that I hit the right tone, the right character voices, and that I didn't screw up too badly. :D *is ridiculously nervous*

Summary: The famouns Van Gogh painting got stolen from the Museum Of Modern Art. But Neal's interest in the heist seems to be more than just curiosity, might even change all their lifes in the end.

Author's Note: Dear brate7, the fact you haven't zatted me yet for betaing a fic that went from 21K to 38K is a mighty feat. You made incoherency into a fic! Thank you for ninjaing through tenses, plot holes, repetitive words with your red pen!

To pikasfire, thank you for your hard work in further fleshing out this fic with your vision.

And to the mods of whitecollar_bb, much gratitude for your patience through my Internet woes, my draft woes and for this wonderful community.

Author's Note: Many many thanks to everyone who helped me through this: gin200168, you are an excellent cheerleader; karaokegal, my writing would be a lot worse without you around. Thank you to the mods of the whitecollar_bb for doing this. Excellent art by canarypaper, who not only did the wonderful banner you see above, but illustrated three separate scenes for me. <3 Having run Big Bangs in the past, I know how much work it takes. You’ve done a fantastic job. Finally, I do not own any of the characters or situations of White Collar.
