Oh my

Last night, I wrote yet another WhiCo AU where Neal isn't human. Come on, what the heck is wrong with me? *scratches head* I mean, as I told yami_tai, Neal is the textbook definition of a woobie, but that's a bit overdoing it, isn't it? I just... I love to bring out Peter's protective urges!

Hehe. :) Awesome.

Neal is the textbook definition of a woobie, but that's a bit overdoing it, isn't it?

*snicker* I admit I hear woobie and I wince at this point... other fandoms other characters... yeah not going there. BUT I don't think just making Neal not human and having Peter being protective = woobie or over doing it. Especially since Peter IS that protective of everyone. :)

True. But I feel that that's the point that I push most in my fics - protective!Peter. Every time I write a fic like that, I fear that I'm sliding into the OOC category - but then I re-watch the show and realize that he really IS that protective, especially of Neal. As Shea said: Neal really is this show's "damsel in distress" XP It's just, when I write h/c or angst, it's hard to let them show emotions without making them OOC.

I haven't seen anything OOC in your fics at all, and I'm incredibly fussy. ;) (ETA: in the gen/lower rated White Collar ones I've read)

Is long as no one ends up acting like Neal (or any other character) can't take care of himself I'm fine with other characters being protective (to a point).

And really the last scene of the final proves Neal needs saving. :)
