SHOW OF MY HEART

White Collar is back as of tonight! I am probably not capable of having deep articulate thoughts about it, but I love it to little bitty stylish pieces. Some observations, in no particular order:

+ I am almost knee-weakeningly glad that Neal and Peter are all right. I am also knee-weakeningly glad that they are keeping up their delicious balance of trust-while-holding-out-on-one-another.

+ This is not to say that I didn't also have some trouble breathing when Neal was not trusting Peter. The levels of tension were making me kind of squirmy. Even when Neal is trying not to communicate, Peter still sort of gets through, and I'm not quite sure I can properly deal with how wonderful that is.

+ WHEN NEAL THOUGHT PETER WAS EVIL HE WENT TO ELIZABETH WITH IT. Oh my god what is this I don't even. I am going to draw a billion stupid hearts around them.

+ I'm fairly sure there were a few instances in episodes 6 & 7 when Peter and Neal looked like they were about to kiss, and when they didn't I had a moment of cognitive dissonance, but wow, the end of this episode? when Peter is a DUMBASS & AMAZING and runs into the room to save Neal right before it gets sealed? I seriously 100% expected that they would have to do some wacky dry-land equivalent of buddy breathing. CLEARLY I HAVE BEEN WATCHING DUE SOUTH TOO MUCH. Peter crouched over Neal shaking him with gentle urgency was a fairly good substitute, though.

+ The scene with Peter & Kate made me ridiculously happy, first because I am cherishing this pet dream that Kate is evil (it makes her 500x as interesting!) and second because it was basically Peter saying, "I know you don't love Neal, but I do, and I'm taking care of him, so step the fuck off."

Next: the guy we thought was evil last episode probably is evil after all! Neal stops searching for Kate clues and starts looking for a music box! It looks like there is more El and THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE MORE EL. I was so ruined by getting the first seven episodes all in a go, because I am already in agonies for more. YAY!

If the show shipped Peter/Elizabeth/Neal as much as it clearly ships Peter/Neal, I would be the happiest bee. *G* I AM JUST AS GLAD AS YOU ARE THAT PETER AND NEAL ARE BFFs AGAIN, NOT THAT I DOUBTED IT, BUT YOU KNOW.

Yes! Peter & Neal should plan another fancy event to facilitate an investigation, thus requiring Elizabeth's PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. Or or or she could get them in somewhere as caterers. OR SO MANY THINGS.

How much more shipping does it need to do? Elizabeth asked Neal to be their date to an official FBI function.

Hee, this is true! I do think there hasn't been an OT3 moment on the level of the Room With No Air But Lots of Manlove, but I live in hope.

THIIIIIIIIIIS.

I love Peter's convo with Kate. He just. He is all in her face about her not loving Neal enough!

dkjshgdskg this is super-mega-creepy so feel free to ignore me, but I love your White Collar fic and we live in the same city, so I can snail-mail you a burned copy if you want?
fahye: ([lucifer] all that it inherit)

[personal profile] fahye 2010-01-20 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
It may be less creepy than that! Didn't we meet at the ontd_startrek meetup at Supanova last year? Or am I making that up?

And thanks for the offer, but I will sit on Aria's head until she sends it to me :) Plus I have currently sworn off fanfic that is not my BLOODY MERLIN AU so it's not like I will be writing more WC fic soon. WOE.

You're not! We did meet, though I didn't actually know it was you or I would have been more embarrassing.

You mean the international thieves fic? I can't say that's a resolution that upsets me.

Well, I think I will be at the con again this year, so maybe we will cross paths :)

I was waiting for a recap just like yours to continue watching this show. It's embarrassing but I would have stopped watching if Neal and Peter weren't okay.

Oh, Jesus, I just watched it and you weren't exaggerating. SQUEE.

Yayyy!

Just randomly surfing around looking for the White Collar squee. *vbg* Pay me no mind.

Peter saying, "I know you don't love Neal, but I do, and I'm taking care of him, so step the fuck off."

I KNOOOOOW!!!

Also, you weren't the only one who thought they might go to the buddy-breathing place. IJS.

*SMOOOOSHES THEM SO MUCH!!!*

They have to save something for the season finale! That's the only explanation I can think of. Also, they're trying to save me from a thousand "saving someone's life = stealing a freebie" fics that would make me headdesk.

I just got caught up. THAT WAS AMAZING. Also, I am becoming more and more enamoured of Peter as time goes on. So adorable! Trying so hard to help Neal! Neal's potshots at him kept making me wibble.

In conclusion, I need more OT3 fic DESPERATELY.
