Summary
Neal gets, in an ironic turn of events, semi-conned into an early Thanksgiving dinner with the Burkes and Elizabeth's college roommate and her family. He grapples with being brought into a close family tradition and finding he doesn't feel like he belongs there.
Peter finds him on the back patio, halfway torn between staying and leaving, and sets him straight.

Summary
Even as he catches the knife and saves the girl, Neal feels sick to his stomach. Because Luc Renaud, from what he understands of him, will not take Keller’s failure well.
He knows now: he’s lucky to have such a forgiving and non-violent handler as Peter.“You want me to be happy,” Neal finishes for him, tasting the words like they’re strange. Because—because they are. They make no sense, not strategically, mathematically, formulaically—
“Yes,” Keller agrees, nonetheless.
//
in which Neal understands Keller a little better, and Keller’s handler is a little crueler.

Summary
A hostage situation lands Neal in the hospital and Peter waiting for him to wake up. As he waits, kept company by the other people in their lives waiting for Neal to come back to them, he thinks about fear and family, and makes a phone call to James that doesn't go as planned.

Summary
“...as humiliating and vulnerable as a strip search was, Peter could only imagine it would be ten times more so if it were performed by someone you’d have to face on a daily basis, not to mention someone that you respected and wanted to respect you.
No, he’d decided, when the day came he would not strip search Neal. Yet, here he was, beginning a two hour drive with a silent Neal Caffrey in the passengers seat— having done exactly that.
Peter swallowed down the bitter taste that dwelt on the back of his tongue, but couldn’t wash it away.”
Philip Kramer has a brutal lesson to teach Burke and his CI, the results of which leave Neal and Peter reeling and struggling to reconcile their odd partnership (though it just may leave them stronger in the end).

Summary
Neal Caffrey didn't get sick a lot. But if he did, he did it in style.
It wasn't like he'd tried to wind up at the Burke's feeling poorly. Life just had a way of putting things right where they belonged, sometimes.Or: Yes. The millionth White Collar sickfic. Is it creative? Debatable. But let's be honest - we're all here for the hurt/comfort in the end ;)
