peter burke is so funny bc he’s a completely normal guy except he’s been obsessed with two people to a point of stalking (his wife and the conman he chased for years) but it’s fine bc they’re just as obsessed with him 😭???

my favorite dynamic is a wife and husband who love each other very much and their boy toy

[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????

peter: i have made a reformed criminal

mozzie: you fucked up a perfectly good thief is what you did. look at it. it's got yearning.

[writeitinsharpie]

Neal: I know a guy who can help us

Peter: you can just say Mozzie. We all know it's Mozzie.

thinking about the genuine SHOCK Peter has when Neal tells him that he wasn’t valedictorian. Like that was information Peter whole heartedly believed as if it was concrete knowledge, even though he knew nothing about Neal before the age or 18 at that point in time.

It’s such a little moment, and I’m sure I’m not supposed to take so much away from it, but the little line shows the absolute depth of how smart and good Peter genuinely thinks Neal is. Neal has been a crook and a conman the entire time Peter’s known him, a social charmer with art skills that allowed him to do whatever he wanted. To me, I think it would’ve been more expected for Peter to believe Neal would be a class skipping delinquent.

But no. Peter, whole heartedly until that moment, believed Neal was VALEDICTORIAN. He believed not only that Neal would’ve had the grades for it, but also that the teachers would’ve been willing to give him that accolade.

And THEN he’s even MORE SHOCKED to learn that he didn’t even GRADUATE.

Like, as far as Peter knows about Neal, the man showed up on the radar at 18 and started his life of crime. What about ANY of that information reads high school valedictorian. But Peter never even doubted the possibility until Neal rejects the idea!!!!

The era of White Collar, Leverage, and Psych was the highlight of my entertainment life.

I am happy to report that to deal with the stress of current events, I am pretending it is 2010.

It just hit me that Peter is like the boss of a whole division of White Collar. Imagine you're an FBI agent and your boss has a pet conman who he breaks the law for and is constantly worrying over and spying on and they go to each others houses at odd hours. There's def a betting pool about them fucking

[stompmesqueezeme]

I know all the FBI people keep telling Peter he needs to be careful with Neal being a bad influence on him but the truth is Peter is constantly CHOMPING AT THE BIT to commit a fun little crime that was already present before Neal lol
