Hypothetical AU Meme. Because it's shiny. And I am bored

[bootson]

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AU.


I know I only really write bandom now, or at least that's all I've posted recently. So we'll go with anything you know I like. Which opens it up to bandom, White Collar, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Star Trek XI RPF, Star Trek, and anything else you can think of that I like since I can never think of everything when I'm trying to. Be as specific or vague (ie list pairings if you want) as you want to. Just entertain me! ;)

White Collar (naturally). You can pick the pairings because they're all hot together regardless of what combination they're in

Lets make iiiiiit... ummmm...

Modern day, urban fantasy!

White Collar, Modern urban fantasy
Peter/Neal/Elizabeth
New York sits on one of the divides between the worlds. Peter Burke lives in the "real world" where humans are humans and don't have special powers of manipulation or illusion. Except maybe his wife, but she might just be her own brand of magic. He's spent his adult life working to be in the most prestigious division of the FBI so he can work to keep the sides divided and keep the real world safe. The goal is to round up those who bounce between the two to cause issues and lock them up in the middle world, Limbo, as it were. Both sides work to keep the sides patrolled, but some people still manage to break through and evade capture.

Neal Caffrey is a shape shifter who has the ability to look like anyone he's ever seen in art, film, or on the street. He's been jumping worlds for years but a curse placed on him by the ex-love of his life, Kate, has him never fitting into either one. When he's in the Human World, his powers work, but when he's in the Complex World, he's as human as anyone in the Real World.

He's running through cons in the Real World when Peter Burke nabs him. Burke, knowing a good thing when he has it, strikes up a deal with Caffrey and drops a nullifying bracelet on him for the duration of his term. Neal's stuck working to track down people who consider him "one of their own" and befriending the Burkes. El seems to know too much about the Complex World and sees through everything Neal tries to throw at her.

Mozzie, an intellectual sponge, is Neal's only ally from the Complex World. They're trying to track down Kate with her black magic without getting thrown back into limbo when Neal realizes he's maybe not doing too badly in this Real World, even though it's confusing. He's almost too busy with the Burkes to notice when some new player who may or may not be the cross of Human and Complex beings comes along and starts working to close the world gap for good. The FBI has no leads but Mozzie and Neal... they might just have something up their sleeves.

(Sorry, it sort of fell apart at the end.)
