Clint Eastwood's Best Move by OnYourMark (PG-13)

Hey all, I'm Chi and this is my first time driving the van! My recs are going to be a mix of gen, threesomes (Peter/El/Neal), and maybe some secondary character focused fics. I haven't decided yet.

Fandom: WHITE COLLAR
Pairing: Gen, Neal, Peter
Length: approx 5k.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] pickyourmark
Author Website: On LJ and on AO3
Why this must be read: After realizing I didn't have a strong opening rec, I went scrambling to find one and I found this little gem hidden in AO3. I like this fic because it has the elements of the show, the humor, the tension, and, most importantly for me, the banter that makes watching Peter and Neal so much fun. It seems to have something for everyone also: there's gen, slash (with the right goggles), hurt/comfort in it's own way, humor, and just plain fun.

Taken from the author's summary: Neal's going to learn self-defense if it kills him (and with Peter teaching him, it might).
Notes: Inspired by Neal's sudden desire to learn unarmed combat in Burke's Seven.


Here's a taste:
"See, this is the thing I don't understand," Mozzie said, and Neal groaned and eased the bag of slowly melting frozen peas off his cheek. "How can you not know how to fight?"

"I'm a lover, not a fighter," Neal said sullenly.

"Yeah, and you also have like, two percent body fat. Have you seen yourself?"

"Look, I never had to fight until Peter sprung me," Neal said. "Now I've had my ass kicked by Vittorio, and last month Larssen -- "

"And Wilkes," Mozzie supplied.

"That's very helpful, thank you."

"Oh, and Alex!"

"And -- that was ten years ago!" Neal said.

"So? She still destroyed you."

"She had the element of surprise."
