Summary: On a hot June day, one summer in the near future, Ned Weeks finds himself in a West Village coffee shop. When he overhears a fascinating conversation about blackmail, kidnapping and getting shot at, he has to take a look.

Then he remembers…

__________________

Author's Notes: Ned Weeks is – as a matter of public record – a fictional stand-in for Larry Kramer, author, screenwriter, playwright, AIDS and human rights activist. The Normal Heart is intensely biographical, as is the sequel, The Destiny of Me. However, much of the character of the older Ned Weeks, as portrayed in this story, has been informed by the public persona of Larry Kramer, and I’ve used certain events in Larry Kramer’s life as if they’d happened to Ned.

I have tried to be true to the character of Ned Weeks and be respectful of his creator.

The title of this story is taken from the lyrics to Simon and Garfunkel’s song, “The Only Living Boy in New York,” which was used in the closing scene of the HBO production of The Normal Heart.

My thanks to wickhouse2005 for her prompt over at whitecollarhc’s “Comfest 2014” – “Neal is Felix's son, Ned runs into him at a pride event.” I also must thank my dearest sinfulslasher for pointing me to this – I might have otherwise missed it.

I must also thank the ladies of the wcwu chats who’ve supported and encouraged me along this sometimes difficult journey towards finishing what I thought would be a short, 3000 word story. I am eternally grateful to you, my friends.

And my deepest thanks go to my artist, kanarek13, who has created so many incredible illustrations. Not only am I humbled by her talents, I am in awe of her ability to read my mind. Without so much as a word from me, she captured the leitmotif of this story. Thank you!

I got very lucky.

Summary: In an alternate universe, Neal Caffrey is not the world’s greatest con artist, forger and thief. He’s a veterinarian. Peter Burke may still be the world’s greatest FBI agent, but his career in on hold. He was shot, point blank, six times and his recovery has been slow – but aided in part by the yellow Lab he and Elizabeth have adopted.

Peter and Elizabeth have a very special marriage – they have, on many occasions, let others into their life and their bed. But during Peter’s recovery, it’s been just the two of them.

Neal and Peter meet, the attraction is instant, and it’s the same when Elizabeth and Neal meet, too. While the Burkes want to make Neal part of their lives, Neal has a past, one that still has the power to hurt him.

Word Count: ~7500
Summary: Peter’s sister comes to pay a visit; she has a problem that only he can help her with. Neal gets dragged in, and everyone gets a chance to be clever.

A/N: This story was originally published in March, 2010, and written just after the first season ended with a bang. Jeff Eastin played fast and loose on Twitter, telling us that Season 2 would be all about how Peter and Neal cope with Neal’s new role as an undercover agent for OPR, and that sparked the idea for this tale.

This was the third or fourth story that I posted and for some reason, I thought I needed publish in multiple postings (d’oh!) and it’s always bothered me. A friend recently asked for a complete iteration of the stories in the Paladin ‘Verse and having Privilege listed out of order and with six separate entries is annoying. But there was lots of lovely feedback and I don’t want to lose that if I took the original entries down.

Many thanks to leonie_alastair for the correction to Isabelle's CV.


(  The day started out fine, better than fine actually. Solid casework by the entire team resulted in a dozen arrest warrants, each one flawlessly executed against a network of illegal securities traders in three cities. But it took a nosedive when Peter and the team came back from a long, celebratory lunch and he saw who was waiting for him in the conference room. )
