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.
