Fem Thoughts

I'm not at my home computer which has all my bookmarks, but here's some to get you started.

Elizabeth:

Monday's Child by sholio: AU- the one in which Neal meets Elizabeth first. (El/Neal)

Survivor by sholio: This isn't how Elizabeth planned her vacation: stranded in the woods with a badly injured husband, below-freezing temperatures, and a killer in pursuit, her nearest ally -- Neal -- a hundred miles away at the other end of a cell phone. Written for the Girl Saves Boy Ficathon on LJ (and also to fill the "stranded/survival scenario" square on my hc_bingo card). (Gen, with canon El/Peter)

Lies That Set You Free by frith_in_thorns: Elizabeth gets a ransom demand for Peter and Neal. She also gets severely underestimated. (Spoilers through S3. Gen with canon El/Peter)

Bruised, Not Beaten by sahiya: Sometimes PTSD doesn't look like PTSD. (S3 spoilers. Gen with El/Peter)


Kate:

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by florastuart: The sharks have been behind them for months, now. (Kate/Neal)

Penelope Weaving by florastuart: 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. (Kate/Neal)

Something Spectacular by lionessvalenti: When Neal tells Kate of his true identity, she's not sure if Neal Caffrey is someone she wants to know, but he's out to prove that he's the one for her. (Kate/Neal. Less focused on Kate than the others, but still a nice look at her.)

A Thousand Lovers and Me by Misura: It's quite probably the second best year of Kate's life. (Kate, Neal and Mozzie in the early days) (Kate/Neal)


Sara:

The Ties That Bind by sahiya: How Sara Ellis became part of Neal Caffrey's family. (Neal/Sara)

Something Comfortable by sahiya: Sara considers herself competent in any number of areas - including two forms of martial arts, three languages, and the circumvention of the most common high-end security systems - but she's never been good with vulnerability. In fact, one might say she's allergic to it. (Sara/Neal)

Backwards, In Heels by sholio: Six months after Neal gets back from the islands, Sara decides to take matters into her own hands (Early S4 spoilers. Neal/Sara)

Yes, Miss Shepard by lionessvalenti: After the case is over, Sara goes to see Shepard to pay for everything she'd done. (S4 spoilers. Sara/Landon Shephard, explicit)

Girl on the Side by lionessvalenti: Girl meets boy. Boy is in relationship with two other people. Girl and boy try to make it work. (Sara/Neal, Peter/El/Neal)


Diana:

Breakout by sholio: For 10Tropes - "Kicking Ass in All Her Finery". Bad guys tend to underestimate Diana, especially when she's wearing a cocktail dress and high heels. That's their first (and last) mistake. (Gen)

Safety First by sholio: The package was sitting on Diana's desk when she walked through the glass doors of the White Collar unit (Diana/Christie)

this is the story of the boys who loved you by frith_in_thorns: You don't put your feelings in the report. (Gen. Trigger warnings for consent issues)

The Never We've Been Told Before by frith_in_thorns: "They wouldn't let me go to Prom." (Gen with Diana/OFC)

I Am Not A Damsel In Distress (and I have been fighting the good fight) by elrhiarhodan: Four things that Charlie taught Diana about life and how to live it. (Mostly gen with Diana/OFC and Diana/Christie)


June:

Fool's Gold by florastuart: Sometimes the real thing is overrated. (Gen)

Keep your memories (but keep your powder dry too) by florastuart: June has been a lookout and a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on and a getaway driver; now when nothing else is left she knows how to hold the retreat. (Gen)
