This is my entry for the 2010 White Collar BigBang (whitecollar_bb @ livejournal)

Title: "Fork in the Road" by krazykipper @ livejournal

Summary: An out-of-state case doesn't go according to plan and the trip home is filled with uncertainty and tough decisions.

LINK: Fork in the Road

"Fork in the Road" is a gen story, focused on Peter and Neal. While reading I was reminded again and again about one of, if not the, main theme between these two, not only in show, but in this fiction also. And this is trust. Peter really wants to trust Neal, but Neal does his best to sabotage this plan, again and again. Be it because he`s refusing to do as Peter told him to do, be it because Neal does what he thinks needs to done, no matter the price he might have to pay if Peter finds out about whatever it was Neal did.

"Fork in the Road" deals with one of those *Neal did what he thought just had to be done* incidents.

It made me feel for Neal, but even more for Peter, who really tried his best not to loose his temper with Neal.

It was more than a fun read, for me it is one of the best White Collar fictions I`ve read so far, and I call myself lucky I was able to do the graphics for it.

these graphics (and more) can be found here:

Cover 768x1024

Wallpaper 1024x768

I`m not really good with icons, these three are the only ones left from those which I`ve tried to do

While working on the art for this story, I had one song in mind (and running in the background most of the time). And this song is "Trust" by The Cure. For me "Trust" pretty much covers most, if not all, of the relationship between Neal and Peter, and I just had to use parts of the lyrics for the wallpaper. I wouldn`t, couldn`t, call this entry complete without it.

THANK YOU goes to krazykipper for writing such a great White Collar fiction.

I`m sorry you had to suffer from my machine/connection acting up (as well as RL being a pain in the a**), and me not getting back to you as you`d deserve at times.

I hope you like what you get for this awesome story of yours, I hope I was able to do it justice
