All These Roads Lead Home
The premise is that the members of the White Collar division circulate a b-day card and throw a small party in the office whenever anyone has a birthday, and Neal's turn comes around, but this story manages to be a lot more than that. It's set after Kate's death, when Peter thinks Neal may be a little fragile, but there's not any over-the-topness about it. It's really nicely done.
I think my favorite element in it is how Peter doesn't trust that the "official" birthday for Neal Caffrey is real, so he schedules a different date for Neal's celebration.
