Summary: Neal Hughes/Redraw the Lines Verse. Neal's second Christmas with the Hughes family is supposed to be so much better than the first one. Then, he gets shot during an undercover op.

Notes: Written for whitecollarhc Advent 2017. It's still Dec 21st in my time zone :D Many thanks to pooh_collector for her encouragement, and to everyone who gave me some ideas for where to go with this story. Title from the song of the same name from the classic movie Holiday Inn.

This is unbetaed because work and family commitments meant this was finished at the last minute. I hope you enjoy!

Neal knew as soon as he heard that gunshot that he was in trouble.

Alphabet Challenge: Letter D
Prompt: Drowning (WC: 608)
Fandom: White Collar
Timeline: Anytime Neal's on anklet and working with Peter
Pairing: Gen
Summary: Neal tried to stay out of the way, but that didn't stop a bullet for hitting him and causing him to fall into the river. He can't seem to find his way to the surface though.

Notes: I've been doing a little self-invented challenge on my Tumblr to write at least two drabble/ficlets a day using alphabetical prompts culled mostly from H/C Bingo on LJ and Gen Prompt Bingo on DW. Each day is brought to you by a different letter. I'm going to start cross-posting the WC ficlets :) Also, many, many thanks to pooh_collector for inspiring this one and finding the West 79th Street Boat Basin for me.


( Neal couldn't believe that this case was ending on a boat in the Hudson River. )

Summary: A routine investigation goes sideways. Neal and Peter are trapped in a bank vault, and Neal's gravely injured.

Notes: Inspired by the Chicago Fire episode, "Joyriding". Hopefully, it fills the "bullet wounds" square on my H/C Bingo Card. Many thanks to pooh_collector for giving this a read-over and suggesting title ideas.

( He woke to numbness and confusion. He was lying on a cold metal floor, though his head was on something soft. )
