Thank you! White Collar seems to bring out the wild AUs in me. I'm working on a sci fi at the moment, in fact.
As much as most of us fans love the bromance, there are so many times on the show when the two of them just talk past each other. I find that dynamic a lot less comfortable, but a lot more interesting.
I wrote two fics in very close succession with the main characters sunk deep into depression (he other of which is a longfic in the A:tlA fandom, and I won't begin posting until it's complete) and both fics involved captivity and what those main characters were willing to do to get out of that situation. It's a theme I like playing with. I also like playing with subtle hierarchies, which makes me all kinds of happy that you noticed the different levels El and Neal are on.
It's not so much that I don't like vampires, so much as I really don't find them sexy. Most of the modern depictions of them, even horror depictions have them as sexy, which I don't get. I always thought that if I ever wrote vampires, I would write about the things they couldn't do than about the things they could, and including an original story, his is the second time I've done so.
