I've read people on TWOP describe it as brotherly, but seriously, people.
Brothers like on Supernatural?
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Either that or Heroes.

Did anyone get a whiff of Casablanca at the airport scene?
Totally!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My gut instinct is that Alex provided Matt with a fake when she "returned" it.
I would not be surprised. And then the rest of it was a way to get Neal and Kate somewhere away from their handlers/friends so they could be killed, thus covering the BigBad's tracks.

You mean like Wincest?
I rewatched last night trying to imagine what he would say besides "I love you" or "I can't leave you" or something similar.
I was thinking "please let me go"

No, but I did get a hint of Bodyguard. I'm a little ashamed of it, though.

Yes, I think so. And we'll never know because the FBI seized the one that Fowler had, which means it will probably be returned to the Russians. Until they need a plot bunny in season 4.

I did an impromptu survey of a friend who watches White Collar, and is aware of the existence of slash but is not an active slasher.
me: what's your opinion of Neal and Peter's relationship?
him: what are my choices: a) gay b) hot c) forbidden d) YES
So... yeah. He also observed that he doesn't think there's authorial intent, and that "they're gay like hobbits are gay."

Not even directorial intent? Because, dude.
Matt Bomer was tossing around the L-word to Tim before DeKay even auditioned, if memory of the interview Jesse linked to serves.
Perhaps it's just a different estimation of the depth of friendship, but crying, really? Pleading? They have to know the subtext is rapidly subsuming the text.

there were tears. that's some intent right there. I mean, maybe they were trying to show the magnitude of the choice that Neal was making, but they didn't have to go with tears.

Hey, I didn't say I agreed with him! I don't even watch the show (though I am definitely going to start) and I can tell they're in lurve.
