Please join me in leaving prompts over at whitecollarhc for White Collar H/C Advent 2016!!! You can also sign up to post fic, art, vids, etc as well. I'll be writing a little something, and I need some inspiration, so I hope you all leave a lot of prompts. ;)

Matt is going to be co-hosting Live with Kelly on Tuesday, October 18th per Live with Kelly's official website. Go forth and set your DVRs :)

(Side note: I'm working on the Fannish Five Meme and will start responding soon. You all left such great, thought-provoking prompts!)

Hi Friends!

It's been a while since I posted - work continues to be crappy and suck the life right out of me, so I haven't been writing. But I thought it would be fun to resurrect an old meme to prove that I'm alive and here and that I still love you all.

Rules: You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my fandom in the comments. (examples: "Five Dates X Regretted Going On," or "Five Things Y Has On His Shelf", or "Your Five Favorite Songs to Write to). I'll answer with a list of five things.

My main fandoms are White Collar, WC RPF, and Teen Wolf, but you can go back to Supernatural or Dark Angel if you want. Topics can also be about writing or fandom in general.

Let's have some fun!

It was announced at Comic-Con today that Teen Wolf is ending with Season 6. They'll reach 100 episodes with 6x20, the finale.

I'm sad about it because it was my new obsession (Stiles FTW!), but it definitely peaked with season 3B, so I can't be too sad about it. Hopefully there are a few more epic fics yet to be written by the amazing TW fandom.

The international Season 6A trailer is below the cut, if anyone is interested. :) It looks like it'll be a fascinating season. 6A premieres in November.

This is the last story from the Fic Alphabet Challenge, originally posted on my Tumblr.

Alphabet Challenge: Letter P
Prompt: Panic Attack (WC: 372)
Fandom: White Collar
Timeline: Future AU
Pairing: Neal/Sara
Summary: Two words send Neal into an immediate panic attack: Sara's missing.

( All it took was two words. The air was punched from Neal's lungs, and his knees buckled. Peter got an arm around his waist before he could fall and lowered him into a chair. )

I just realized there are a couple of Fic Alphabet Challenge stories that I haven't posted yet :) Challenge fics were originally posted on my Tumblr.

Alphabet Challenge: Letter N
Prompt: Needle (WC: 743)
Fandom: White Collar
Timeline: Santa Day AU where Neal is a kid that Peter and El adopt as a toddler
Pairing: Gen
Summary: Neal gets a flu shot, and he's not happy about it. Peter comforts him.

( Elizabeth was caught up in client meetings for a last-minute diplomatic luncheon, so Peter bundled Neal into his coat, mittens, and hat, and carried him off to the d-o-c-t-o-r. )

From elrhiarhodan. I'm not patient enough these days (11 hour work days suck) to post pics like she did, but I linked to Google image search for those characters that you might not be familiar with.

Rules: Go to this website and enter 14 characters from any fandom or fandoms (or whatever you’re into) and match them to the order of the following questions.

1. Your Mom/Dad: Oliver Queen (Arrow)
Well, I could do worse than a billionaire. Also, as a family, we've clearly invented time travel since I'm pretty sure he's younger than me. The Queen family can do anything we set our minds to.

2. Your Sibling: Sara Ellis (WC)
Sara would be a fun sister – she'd give great fashion advice. Plus I'd maybe get to see Neal all the time!
( You'll want to see the rest of the list, I promise )

I should be able to fill a few of these :D I got a great card!


( My hc_bingo card )

Title: What Only Words Can Say
Author: angelita26
Rating: PG
Pairing: Neal/Sara
Characters: Sara, Peter
Spoilers: Through the end of Season 6
Word Count: 957
Summary: Sara receives a mysterious envelope from an unexpected person.

Notes: Written for runthecon Round 3 for pooh_collector's prompt: " The thing he couldn’t say." I tag doctor_fangeek with the prompt: "the truth sets you free".

( Sara slipped out of bed and shrugged into her silk robe as she quietly made her way into the kitchen of her flat. It was early, but she hadn't slept well during the night. )

More from the Fic Alphabet Challenge over at my Tumblr. I have a few more to post here at LJ and one more to write. Enjoy!

Alphabet Challenge: Letter I
Prompt: Insomnia (WC: 223)
Fandom: White Collar
Timeline: Post Season 6
Warning: Spoilers for the end of Season 6
Pairing: Gen
Summary: Neal can't sleep. Maybe being free isn't all it's cracked up to be.

( Neal sighed. The minutes were ticking by, but he was no closer to falling asleep than he had been five hours ago. )

elrhiarhodan got this one started today, and I love to play this meme so much. Ask me about any fic in any fandom that I've written, and I will happily divulge details.

Here's how it works:

Pick a passage from my stories, up to 500 words, from anything I've written in my LJ masterlist and on AO3 (my AO3 masterlist has my Teen Wolf fic in addition to all the WC and WCRPS goodies), and comment to this post with that selection (including a link to the story being excerpted). I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the story, awful puns [perhaps], and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

If you would like to ask about multiple stories, that's awesome. Please post the passages in separate comments so that I can respond coherently about each one. :)

Note: My LJ masterlist was updated recently, and the only things missing are the recent Fic Alphabet Challenge ficlets, which are also available for use in this meme.

I'm a sheeple :) Many thanks to elrhiarhodan for the HTML coding.

Rules: Using only the song titles from one artist, cleverly answer these 11 questions. (As a bonus, or perhaps due to laziness, I only used names of songs in my iTunes.)

The artist I’m selecting: Weezer
What is your gender: O Girlfriend
Describe yourself: The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World
How do you feel: Troublemaker
If you could go anywhere, where would it be: Island in the Sun
Favourite mode of transportation: In the Garage
Your best friend: Smart Girls
Favourite time of the day: Dreamin'
If your life was a TV show, what would it be called: Simple Pages
What is life to you: Heart Songs
Relationship status: Undone (The Sweater Song)
Your fear: Time Flies

I'm so utterly ridiculously proud of Patrick Kane today. He scored a hat trick and now has 100 points this season. The game isn't even over - the second period is still in progress. Blackhawks are beating the Bruins 6 to nothing.

That's all - just had to share! :)

ETA: Bruins tried to come back, but Blackhawks still won 6-4. Third period hockey was not at all like first and second period hockey. Oy.

I got a card for the new round of genprompt_bingo! I don't think I made any fills on the last one, but there are some great prompts here. Ideas/prompts are welcome for White Collar, Bookstore AU, and Teen Wolf - I make no promises, but you never know what the muse will latch on to ;)

Hi Friends! My brain is failing me. What Season 1 episode is it where Neal walks slo-mo toward the camera with a grin? He has the messenger bag slung crossbody, and it was used in the credits for episodes 2-7. Does anyone know? Many thanks in advance!

Alphabet Challenge: Letter G
Prompt: Greenstick Fracture (WC: 630)
Fandom: White Collar
Timeline: AU in Santa Day 'verse – Neal is 5
Pairing: Gen
Summary: Neal just wanted to play outside with Satchmo. He had no idea that falling out of a tree would hurt so much.
Note: The Santa Day 'verse is an AU where Peter and Ellen are siblings. She is a detective with NYPD, and her partner was James Bennett until he was arrested for the murder of a fellow cop. When neither he nor his wife could care for Neal, Ellen talked Peter and Elizabeth into taking him in. Also, many thanks go to pooh_collector for asking for wee!Neal and cheerleading.

( Neal knew that he shouldn't be outside without Peter or Elizabeth, but Satchmo was making sad noises by the door, so Neal opened the door to let him outside. )

Alphabet Challenge: Letter F
Prompt: Food Poisoning (WC: 443)
Fandom: White Collar
Pairing: Neal/Sara
Summary: Neal's hit with a case of food poisoning. Sara helps him feel better.

( Neal woke from a deep sleep to a roiling stomach and the immediate fear that he was going to retch all over his bed. )

Alphabet Challenge: Letter E
Prompt: Electroshock Gun (WC: 386)
Fandom: White Collar
Timeline: Future AU
Pairing: Neal/Sara
Summary: Unfortunately for Neal, Sara's prepared when she hears a strange noise in the night.


( Sara woke abruptly to a strange noise. )
