Summary
Spoilers for the finale: s06e06 Au Revoir. Read at your own discretion.
What if Neal hadn’t planned any of it?
Peter finds Neal after he'd been shot, and spends the next day scrubbing red from underneath his fingernails.Or,
“You’re my best friend.”
And then Neal closed his eyes, and his heart stopped beating beneath Peter’s hands and his breath left him and his pulse ceased to thrum, and there was more red outside his veins than in, and something twisted in Peter’s chest so agonisingly a cry he didn’t hear was torn from his lips.
Oh god.
In the end, the emergency operation required two surgeons, five theatre nurses, six hours and twenty-three minutes of intensive surgery, forty-three stitches bound to leave hell of a scar, and two full bags of transfusive blood to make up for the approximate thirty-eight percent Neal had lost.
It had been an incredibly narrow miss, Peter realised.

Summary
Peter doesn’t understand loss like this, why he feels so empty, especially when he hasn’t even lost anything. Isn’t everything exactly the way it’s supposed to be? What they wanted, their individual happily ever afters?
Or: Four times Neal got a present and one time Neal got a present. Set post-series.

Summary
He’s always felt it-- the ache on the quiet nights, the stinging from old wounds, the shame of failure. He’s rarely had anyone to care about him, and that takes it’s toll.
It should get easier as he grows into his family;
It doesn’t.
Five times he thought about it (and one time someone notices)

There is one incident that Peter never put into his official report while he was chasing Neal. For "hunger/starvation" on my h/c bingo card. Set pre-series and during season one, so no current spoilers.

Summary
Dick can list off, technically, a half dozen things this piece has accomplished, and comment on the career of Cassatt herself in great detail - but something about this painting speaks to him. Not to Neal - to Dick.
“She is beautiful, no?” says an old, weathered voice from beside and slightly below him.
“Stunning,” he says, as he turns to smile at the old woman.
It takes Dick a moment for his mind to catch up to his mouth - and for him to realize that he just responded in fluent Romani. A language Neal Caffrey should not know.
—
Peter takes Neal to an art exhibit and very quickly comes to regret it. Meanwhile, Dick has a lovely (if bittersweet) afternoon and makes a new friend.
