Review:
What if Neal met Elizabeth before Peter did?

What a brilliant AU. One of the things I like most about the White Collar fandom is that even the AUs stick pretty close to canon and this is probably the best example of it. While Peter and Elizabeth didn't meet or get married, he is still chasing Neal (and, eventually, Elizabeth) and their cat-and-mouse game is just as fun as it was on the show. Except that if Neal is good, Neal and Elizabeth together are *great* and, really, Peter's so very outnumbered. In the best possible way, of course.

One of the best White Collar AUs out there, for anyone who likes a good 'what if...' story.
