( Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. )

Title: "Like Chewing on Pearls"
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: Neal/Kate
Rating: NC-17
Warning: edge play, breath play, consensual roleplay of non-consensual scenario
Summary: “Are you going to move?” he asks. She doesn’t think a real attacker would trust her to keep her word; she isn’t sure that Neal would if the circumstances were really dire.

AN: Written for ashcat as part of the Five Acts meme. The act was "edge play or breath play."

Title and cut text from "I Like It Rough" by Lady Gaga. Original title was "takeover."

Rating: R -- dark themes, implied sex. References to prison violence.
Summary: While Neal is in prison, Kate and Mozzie reach for each other.

AN: This is a remix of photoash's wonderful ficlet "Solace". I strongly recommend reading hers first -- it's amazing how much she fits into 500 words. Title and cut text from the Regina Spektor song of the same name.

( And I did feel like coming, but I also felt like crying. )

It occurred to me that I've written a bunch of tiny stories about Mozzie that take place in more or less the same universe, and that it would be a good idea to have that whole 'verse organized in one place, and also that that could be tricky because... these aren't really fics. Well, some of them are. But mostly they're little bits and bobs of writing that happened in comments or memes or middle-of-the-night meta epiphanies. The suggestions that people make in the comments contribute to the verse itself. Even if I wanted to archive some of these little things, I'm not sure how I'd do it. SO. I'm just going to put them all together like a collage or one of those evidence bulletin boards that crime shows love so much, and you can sort of... piece together the story, if you are so inclined.

Posted in order of setting rather than in order of writing:

"Never Expect To Be Sure," a sort of experimental meta/fic thing about Mozzie, his mom, and what his name is really short for.

"Emma," comment-fic for speccygeekgrrl's prompt, "Mozzie's first pet." Takes page when he's six years old; mom's POV. Shameless fluff.

"Truth and Consequences," mostly-humor ficlet about Mozzie's first break-in, when he was 16. Inspired by a random news story.

"Do You Even Go To This School?" Snippet written for the "The One Where" meme, for elrhiarhodan: "the one where Mozzie loses his glasses and his virginity." Takes place in 1981, a year after "Truth and Consequences."

"Running Underground", Neal/Mozzie/Kate snippet, written for speccygeekgrrl for the "the one where" meme: "the one where Kate, Mozzie and Neal are all worked up after pulling a heist and need to work off the adrenaline rush." No specific date for this one, but it's got to be in the early-ish 00s.

"Not Gonna Let You Run," Neal/Mozzie BDSM ficlet, written, of course, for speccygeekgrrl, set during the first season, in 2009 or 10. Not explicit.

It isn't in the same timeline as the others, on account of the strongly implied Peter/Neal/Elizabeth and unrequited Mozzie/Neal themes, but one of my first White Collar fics ever is a mini character study for Mozzie, and the characterization basically holds even though the pairings are different:

"Just Like Everyone Else Does," originally titled "Needs and Wants." Set in 2009. Comment_fic for daria234.

Title: "Truth and Consequences"
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing/Characters: Mozzie, Neal
Rating: PG
Summary: Mozzie's first break-in was not his best work. Inspired by this New York Magazine item.

( Dude, really? I've never had a burglar before! )

Title: "That Time"
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: Neal/Peter
Rating: R; basically porn about kissing again.
Summary: Hey, remember that time when we decided to kiss anywhere except the mouth? -- Regina Spektor, "That Time"

AN: Written as a thank-you to elrhiarhodan

( So sweet and juicy! )

Title: "The Letter"
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: past Neal/Kate
Spoilers/warnings: Through 1x14 "Out Of The Box." Angst.
Summary: It was all one message all along, drawn out across layers of codes and palimpsests, and whatever else it might have said, the first and most important meaning was come get me. I need you. Be here. Come home.

AN: Written in memory of Alex Chilton, singer and guitarist for The Box Tops and Big Star; inspired by "The Letter" by the Box Tops.

( Wrote me a letter, said she couldn't live without me no more. )
