White Collar Crime is an interesting Hanfic in which Taylor gets sent to prison for embezzlement and really who can pass a fic up with that concept? I just really like the concept of Taylor or any Hanson in prison but I have a dark and twisted mind so that probably shouldn’t be too shocking.
Taylor’s crimes though don’t just affect him though, they affect Isaac and Zac too and so this story in ways is about how they all deal with it but I do feel Taylor and Isaac were featured way more while Zac got a little back-burned which made me kind of sad since I’m a Zac girl. But the Taylor and Isaac stuff was nice and what we saw of Zac was nice too.
I liked how Tara wrote the boys brotherly bonds, something that most fics don’t really do because they show too much romance. Which White Collar Crime while having Taylor married to Natalie really didn’t have much romance though sometimes maybe it bordered on something a little more with Taylor and Isaac without going all the way there.
I’m not sure how I felt about the prison stuff. Some stuff was down right sad while other things kind of made me laugh and I almost considered labeling this a Black Comedy because of that but I’m not sure Tara intended for it to go that way at times but it did.
I’m also not sure how I felt on Natalie being the villain especially when her motives for it didn’t seem properly explained and it just left me with a bad taste in my mouth because of that.
The ending though was good if not maybe a little too wrapped up and maybe a little too fast but I think as a whole it didn’t affect the story much and I still did like the story minus it’s flaws.
