I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

Tonight I finished knitting my shawl, for those who are interested! It's maaaaaybe a little bit on the short side, but I can't afford to buy any more wool for it, so. Hopefully my step-mum will like it, anyway! I'm currently halfway through beading the other end of it, but I really have to go to bed now. However! Today's rec awaits!

sam_storyteller's fic always impresses me with the sheer depth and subtle imagination of the writing, and this fic is no different. The delicacy of the worldbuilding - never using exposition, but building the information into the story framework so that we learn without realising it - is the great strength of this White Collar fic. 'Prison magic' - and as far as the story makes us aware, it is only in prison that magic comes - is made both dark and beautiful, and the way it tilts the familiar characters into new shapes while retaining their familiarity is a triumph of prose. Seriously, you won't be disappointed.

I'm awful, I haven't even started watching White Collar yet but I read the fic (because that's what I do, I read fic before I have any idea what's going on ;P) because it sounded interesting. And it was. V. Neil Gaiman. Will read it again once I know what's what. But it was awesome anyway :)
