#White collar ot3

[goddammiteverythingstaken]

one of the funniest things about the small but very real white collar fandom is that there’s a split right down the middle where half the fandom adamantly believes that Peter is Neal’s dad, and half the fandom swears that Peter is Neal’s bi poly boyfriend. and neither of them are really wrong????

[violetren]

The great thing about the White Collar OT3 is that at no point does the introduction of Neal into El and Peter's everyday lives never feels like a threat to Peter and El's marriage.

Like from the moment Neal shows up at their house in episode one he and El hit it off.

Within the first 5 episodes Neal and El have figured out they have similar knowledge and interest in the finer things, they're sharing looks over how Peter talks about and will react to things, El is telling Peter to trust in Neal a little, Neal is helping make sure they have a lovely anniversary, and El is calling Neal in to mediate/help prove her point in mini arguments to make Peter do stuff.

They also work really well because while Peter, El, and Neal might all be slightly different flavours and intensities of hyper competent adrenaline junkie weirdos, all three of them are intensely loyal to "their people" so the second El and Neal recognised that they both trust Peter as someone who will always try to do the right thing and respect them they were like "oh green flag."

if i had a nickel for every time i watched a show about con artists and (one of) the most popular fandom ships was an ot3 polycule, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

[inthecornerstone]

i’m sorry did elizabeth just say that peter’s relationship with neal is built on exactly the same elements as her marriage to peter. how is this show real

[leverage-ot3]

thief conference but it’s just the leverage ot3, red notice ot3, and neal caffrey and el burke (peter isn’t there for plausible deniability)

[dandelion-writes]

uhm. oops?

have a white collar ot3 fic, everyone

Peter tries to tell himself to get over his crush on Neal. It doesn't work. Luckily, El doesn't mind.

My favourite ship dynamic: straight passing bi couple, and their guy™️

[violetren]

I love that El's reaction to Peter telling her that Neal might end up in jail again is for El to ask if Peter is gonna be ok.

Something was in the air 2008/2009 that two network shows had barely subtextual OT3s and to varying degrees follow nominally ex con(s) screwing over rich criminals.

[isaacsapphire]

White Collar had a bizarrely OT3 setup and combination of actors with good chemistry. Like, if you tried to replicate it, I don’t know if you could do it.

I just saw this on Twitter and omg guys RoyJamieKeeley made the list. I’m so proud to have contributed in my small way. And I will keep writing until we get them to number one…trust! 😂🫡

[reinanova]

when neal immediately dropped the con and the lies the second he learned el was kidnapped…

the man is in love your honor

[leverage-ot3]

neal caffrey and peter burke are nate and sophie in a different font and here’s why- *gunshots*

[leverage-ot3]

the fact that the FIRST ROUND has the leverage ot3 up against the white collar ot3 is warfare on gay crime hijinks
