Looking at the Positive
I've been in such an intolerant mood, lately - I don't know why - and it's meant trying very hard not to spam my own journal with lots of venting.
So, a positive note - namely six more days until new White Collar, yay! There's just so many things that could happen that I've absolutely not speculated on it at all. Seriously, I refused to give any possible scenarios the time of day. I want to go in taking whatever the show gives me, and I'm both nervous and excited about it.
I'll also admit that it will be nice to (hopefully) see the majority of fic moving on from Count Down tags. I've reached my Count down saturation point and I can't wait to see new ideas pop up. Although this round of finale tags turned out rather interesting. I thought for sure it was going to be another Point Blank fiasco, with fic after fic of Neal apologizing for hurting everyone's feelings. Instead it's a mix of tropes, some good, some bad, some unique and thought provoking. And though, yes, the woobie!Neal and jerk!Peter came out on top as the most prevalent trope, I felt this onslaught of tags to be quite diverse.
Although one thing I would have liked to have read more of was Mozzie's side of things. I know there was one story, yes, but I would have liked to have read more explorations into his own reactions. It really surprised (and annoyed) me how many stories there were where Mozzie was on the list of people Neal hurt and had to apologize to. I would have loved something where it was Mozzie taking responsibility along with Neal, rather than Neal taking all the blame (for the record, I'm not a fan of "it's all Neal's fault and he must learn his lesson!" fic. I'm speaking as both a Neal fan - I will admit it - and someone who likes the complicated, messy issues explored as the complicated, messy issues they are. Neither do I like huffy, pouty Peter).
Anyway, yes, so much happy in the future. Crossing my fingers for much squee (and hungry plot bunnies. I'm in dire need of hungry plot bunnies. They've been refusing to nibble any plots, lately, even with so many to choose from).
