Crossed Lines story #16, a fusion of Supernatural with Caffrey Conversation. Follows the events in Bewitched (Crossed Lines) and Set in Amber (Caffrey Conversation series). Crossed Lines is a fusion series of White Collar with Supernatural. Peter Burke already crossed the line to recruit con artist Neal Caffrey. To work with the Winchester brothers, he'll have to do the same. Similarly, Dean and Sam need to let Neal and Peter into their world. The stories are set within the Caffrey Conversation timeline but can be read separately. The Caffrey Conversation universe was created by Penna Nomen. In that world, Neal Caffrey--expert forger, thief, and con artist--is recruited by Special Agent Peter Burke to work for him at the FBI. Neal begins his new life in December 2003 when he is twenty-three years old. Unlike the TV series, Neal was never convicted of a crime and didn't serve time in prison. Penna Nomen is the creator and chief muse for Caffrey Conversation. She is also my writing partner. The complete list of all our stories is on our blog, Penna Nomen & Silbrith Conversation. This story is for fun. I don't own the rights to White Collar or Supernatural.

Lucia and Charley are the products of Old New York's ruling elite. Prestige. Wealth. Tradition. Scandal. No one is immune. Not Charley, reckless, blithe courtier of trouble, heiress to the Montrose fortune, who has been conspicuously absent for over a year without a word of truth or explanation. Nor Lucia, as docile a daughter as any parent could wish for, carrying secrets of her own, slowly awakening to a yearning for things beyond obeisance to the established order, as deeply ingrained as Old New York's fascination for, and fear of, scandal. Sailing into the summer of 1929, on the eve of the Black Tuesday Wall Street Crash and a world on the brink of change, Charley and Lucia must keep their wits sharp about them in the pleasure capitals of the Continent and on the Nile to steer their futures away from peril. There are men and temptations to resist, intrigues and mysteries to untangle, secrets to hide, lies to weave, and jewel thieves to outsmart while, back home in New York and on the Exchange, the world rumbles and thunders ominously by. More hangs in the balance than the frivolities of the Jazz Age, the glitzy parties in London and the lures of Paris, automobile races, leisurely flirtations on the French Riviera, opulent Egyptian nights, and the catching of a brilliant matrimonial prize. This Grand Tour could prove to be the making of two young women, a prelude to freedom and independence, to saving and building an empire... Or perhaps merely an invitation to rebellion, scandal and unmitigated disaster. Running away or running towards? Tick-tock.

Originally written: December 2020. Part Four of the time-traveling saga of Orraca and Beatriz-- but really, this is more about Ida, Beatriz's descendant. So we won't see much growth from Orraca or Beatriz. Nevertheless, I wanted to post this story...as it takes the tale into a new and unexpected direction. I wrote this when I was into reading about history, but not reading or watching historical fiction-- aside from Call the Midwife, which inspired me to add (somewhat) of a baby storyline.
