#1
Title: Doppelganger
Crossover Fandom: w/Fastlane
Characters and Pairings: Elizabeth/Peter/Neal (1st time 3some/pre-slash), Billie/Deaq/Van (established 3some)
Likely rating: PG-13 to R
Current Word Count: 7.8+K
Summary: Former LAPD Lt. Billie Chambers (Fastlane), Elizabeth’s identical cousin, is mistakenly kidnapped in lieu of Elizabeth Burke by Harnett an archrival of Peter’s. The blackmail ransom is a list of elusive items he wants Peter to use any means necessary in order to retrieve them – including using Neal to steal the items back away from the criminals that have them.
Harnett sees it as nothing but a game of revenge, a challenge, to Peter – with the time ticking away. Lose and he claims Peter’s fair lady before he kills her.

Title: Ifs, Buts & Maybes
Crossover Fandom: Leverage
Characters and Pairings: Peter Burke, Neal Caffrey, Elizabeth Burke, Mozzie, Sara Ellis, Clinton Jones, Diana Berrigan; Parker, Eliot Spencer, Alec Hardison, Mr Quinn; Neal/Sara, Peter/Elizabeth, Eliot/Parker
Likely rating: PG-13
Current Word Count: ~9,800 (should be a little over 10,000 when it's done)
Summary: (post-series) Peter Burke thinks he is about to become a legend for catching another of the world's greatest thieves, but Parker might just have an ulterior motive in letting herself get busted by the FBI. Her so-called capture is a good way to get Burke alone and let him know that Neal is not only alive and kicking, but that he may yet be in danger from the Pink Panthers all over again. Now, it's up to a group of old friends (from the White Collar division, Leverage Inc., and beyond) to ensure that Neal Caffrey doesn't have his life taken away for real this time.

Title: Lost Boy (Working title!)
Crossover Fandom: Lost Girl fusion
Characters and Pairings: Neal, Peter, Mozzie, Diana, June, Hughes, Sara, El, past Neal/OC, slight Peter/Neal
Likely rating: R
Current Word Count: 3000
Summary: Neal Caffrey has spent his adult life on the run, leaving a trail of unintentional bodies behind him. When he is discovered by the Fae, a race of supernatural beings, he learns of his true nature as an incubus, and is forced to participate in an ancient and potentially fatal Fae tradition to earn his freedom. Will his new friend Mozzie, and the mysterious Fae cop Peter Burke be able to help him? (A White Collar/Lost Girl fusion, based on the Lost Girl pilot episode.)

Title:Free Spirit

Current Word Count: 1,000

#9
Title: Ghosts from the Past (Working Title Only)
Crossover Fandom: None
Characters and Pairings: Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Neal Caffrey, David Siegel, Mozzie, Diana Berrigan, Clinton Jones; Peter/Elizabeth (past), Peter/Neal (past), Peter/Neal (future?)
Likely rating: R
Current Word Count: 24k
Summary: In this alternate universe, Peter and Neal were housemates and lovers for three years, back when they were both graduate students at Harvard. They parted and moved on with their lives. Peter became an FBI agent, married Elizabeth, and left the FBI to become a successful financial advisor (the future envisioned by Neal in Company Man). As the story opens, Peter's signing his divorce papers. He loves Elizabeth and can't deny her anything, not even her request to end their marriage. Neal Caffrey, wealthy beyond imagination, hires Elizabeth Burke (now Mitchell) to organize his best friend's sixtieth birthday party.
It's been twenty-five years since Peter and Neal have seen each other. Is a quarter of a century really long enough to heal the wounds between them?

Title: Untitled as of yet
Crossover Fandom: none
Characters and Pairings: Neal, Peter, El, Baby Burke, possibly Mozzie and June - gen or very likely (pre-)Peter/Neal(/El), depending on what the Muse dictates
Likely rating: PG-13
Current Word Count: including the non-existent title? Zero. /o\
Summary: Neal has finally settled down in Paris, and he even almost convinced himself that he's not missing his friends back in New York. All seems to be going well (or as well as things could be going, considering) when one single moment of carelessness changes everything. Badly injured and high on pain meds, a hospital-bound Neal keeps asking for his friends. And Peter wouldn't be Peter if he didn't manage to find Neal eventually. But being reunited is only the first step to salvaging their friendship.
(Or: Neal gets whumped, Peter offers comfort, and there's copious amounts of angst. And probably some humor. And definitely a cute puppy.)
