Review:
Author's 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.

I rarely have a tough time writing summaries, but in this case I went with the author's summary because I just can't figure out how to describe this story without spoiling it. This also makes writing a review a challenge. Suffice to say that Peter and Neal have a very different relationship than any I've seen before in White Collar fanfic, the characterizations are brilliant all around, Elizabeth brings back the 'awe' in awesome, and I desperately wanted to give both Neal and Peter lots of hugs. A unique and fascinating White Collar fic.
