Hi friends! I'm writing in the MacGyver (2016/reboot) fandom these days, but I haven't been crossposting to DW because the fandom isn't active here. If you're interested in reading those stories, you can find them all on AO3. I've also been active on Tumblr lately, so you can find me over there if you want. Hugs to you all! Hope you're doing well!

I'm posting my bingo card here for reference. :)

( my hc_bingo card )

I'm not sure if anyone is still around these parts, but I just saw the news and wanted to share it with the WC fandom. Willie Garson passed away per Deadline and many other news outlets. His son Nathen posted a very moving tribute on his Instagram. RIP Willie

Hi all!

Sorry for the late start on this, but I had to go in search of toilet paper so that I could stop being anxious about that and move on to more fun activities.

I'm going to post this Drabble/Ficlet Meme both here in DW/LJ and on my Tumblr. All responses will be posted on the respective platforms and also on AO3 in some manner that won't be spammy.

Rules: In the comments, leave me the name of a character and a noun (place, emotion, thing, whatever). You can also specify a verse or story, if you'd like - AO3 is up-to-date with all my stories. I'll write you a drabble/ficlet.

Fandoms: White Collar, Teen Wolf, Psych. I'm also open to crossovers between those fandoms.

You might want to leave a couple of prompts so I can ease my muse into this. I might respond to both! :)

Let's have some fun! <3 <3 <3

Edit: Please continue to leave prompts below or on Tumblr. I fell behind in responding today (long story short: my Dad's internet stopped working, so I was trying to help from 250 miles away) but I'm having fun, and I hope you are too. Also, I responded to one ask over on my Tumblr for Neal Caffrey - car crash. I'll post all of these to AO3 this weekend.

Edit 3/30/20: There's one more prompt response over on my Tumblr for Neal, song. I'll try to get these all posted to AO3 tomorrow so that they're all in one place. Thanks so much for playing everyone!

Edit 3/31/20 All ficlets have been posted to AO3. Thank you all for being awesome and leaving prompts. I might come back and fill some of the second prompts too, so maybe subscribe to the AO3 work for notifications :)

Hi all!

I don't know how many of you are checking DW/LJ these days; I admit that I haven't checked in a while. Since we have all mostly moved on to other fandoms and other platforms, I'm not sure how many of you this will reach, but I wanted to say hi (Hi1) and that I hope you are all safe and healthy.

I'm planning on taking Wednesday off of work to decompress from the stress of getting all our employees set up remotely and developing procedures to allow for remote processing. I've worked remotely from home for about 8 years, but the actual office is located in LA, so most of the office staff is in new territory with setting up their own home offices.

One thing I would like to do on Wednesday is an old-school comment drabble/short fic meme. I haven't written WC in a while, so I'm nervous about it, but I thought it would a fun, creative thing to do and share. I'm desperate for creative outlets. I'm not sure what the best platform is for it yet, but I will post here when I figure it out. I imagine it will be here or on Tumblr (authorangelita) or both. Please let me know if you have any other places you hang out these days. I also have a pillowfort that I just remembered.

Stay safe, healthy, and don't forget to wash your (finger) webbing!

Matt posted on Instagram that today is the 10th anniversary of White Collar! The pilot aired on October 23, 2009. It definitely doesn't feel like it's been that long.

*raises champagne flute*

Cheers to our amazing show, to all of the wonderful and talented people that I have met because of the show, and to the super talented cast that brought the show to life!!!

Love and HUGS to you all!

I just got settled from a couple of days of traveling, and I wanted to signal boost this post from LJ. I know many of the WC fandom have left LJ, so I wanted to make sure this reached everyone it could reach. Please pass it on anywhere you think it will help.

Title: A Fire That Feeds Our Life
Author: angelita26
Rating: PG-13
Characters and/or Pairing: As fictional characters: Matt/Tim, Willie, Joe, Hilarie Burton, Mark Sheppard
Warning: Permanent injury of a main character.
Word Count: ~4360
Summary: Following the events of Wish You Were Here, Matt's injuries require surgery. He and Tim navigate his recuperation and make plans for the future.

Notes: I apologize for the 5 year wait for this story. I was inspired to write the next part, but when I went back and read through the entirety of Bookstore, I realized that I never finished and posted this story. It’s a tough one, but it has a happy ending.

( The next morning, Matt woke and immediately wanted to die. His back was stiff and sore, so much so that he didn't think he could move. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 7:15. He was supposed to open the bookstore by 9:30, but he wasn't sure he'd be able to do it. )

Hi all!

Matt did a Q&A on Instagram tonight for Will & Grace, and I was having a hard time finding the questions that he was answering so I put it together in a readable format. I did my best in matching up the questions with the answers, but there were a couple where he just said "yes!" to something and it was unclear what it was, so I left those out.

The post is here if you want to see the cute video that goes with it! :)

Enjoy!

This is unbetaed because work and family commitments meant this was finished at the last minute. I hope you enjoy!

Neal knew as soon as he heard that gunshot that he was in trouble.

Hi all! I'm thinking of writing my WC H/C Advent story in the Neal Hughes/Redraw the Lines verse. I've written one holiday story in the verse, Christmas Eve Comforts, where Neal is sick and the Hughes family takes Christmas to his apartment.

I have a couple of ideas for the fic, but I don't think I've hit the right one yet. If there's anything you'd like to see in the verse, let me know in the comments :)

I went back through my posts from March of 2016, but I didn't actually make a post about this - I must have only talked about it in chat. Dylan O'Brien somehow became my most prevalent celeb crush around September of 2014 when I saw the first Maze Runner movie and then binged Teen Wolf (Stiles FTW!). In March 2016, he was severely injured in an on-set accident while filming a stunt sequence for the third Maze Runner movie.

At the time, there was very little detail about his injuries and a lot of rumors about how bad it was. Now that his new movie American Assassin is hitting theaters on September 15th, he's been doing a lot of press and has finally talked not only about his injuries but about the recovery process and panic attacks he suffered in the aftermath.

There are two really interesting articles about it that came out this week. I highly recommend them - they paint a vivid, heartwrenching picture, while at the same time highlighting how he overcame his fears and panic to commit to a stunt-intensive movie like American Assassin.

SF Chronicle: Serious accident helps Dylan O’Brien understand his ‘Assassin’ role

Vulture: Dylan O’Brien Is Ready to Talk About That Accident

( Thoughts )

( American Assassin Restricted Trailer )

So, as my header suggests, I adore Dylan O'Brien, whose new movie "American Assassin" comes out on Sept 15th - YAY! Taylor Kitsch is also in the movie, and he was in Normal Heart with Matt. As part of the press he's doing for AmAs, he was on "Wake Up" this morning on Sirius, and the subject of celebrity crushes and then Normal Heart came up. (Source [Starts at 4:05])

The interviewers were asking if the ladies on Battleship had crushes on Taylor, and then someone asked him if Jim Parsons had a crush on him during Normal Heart.

Interviewer: What about Normal Heart?  Did Jim Parsons have a crush on you?

Taylor: I think I had a crush on Jim.  And Matty Bomer. I can't be more of a fan, of those two guys especially.  Matty Bomer is, god, he's one of the nicest guys.  And incredibly funny.

To recap, Taylor calls him Matty and has a crush on him. LOVE! Gives me Bookstore feels :D

Title: Leaving Again
Author: angelita26
Rating: PG
Characters: Pre-Neal/Sara
Spoilers: Slight for In the Wind.
Word Count: ~650
Summary: Sara gives Neal some news that neither of them want.

Notes: I just found this in my WIP folder, but it was completed, so I'm posting. This is a relationship in a verse that I hold dear, and I hope that you enjoy! I should also note that this was my attempt at fixing a little timeline issue I created for myself by posting this verse in a non-linear fashion. :)


( Neal looked devastated, and Sara felt like she was dirty gum on the bottom of his shoe. Worse even. )

In an effort to be more present on my journal, let's play a game. Taken from Tumblr (and also posted on my Tumblr)

Give me one or more letters, and I'll respond as best I can :)

( Fanfic Ask Game )

Hi Friends! I'm (sorta) doing GISHWHES this year, and I have a very easy request. Would you please click here and take a 1 question survey? It's about how people like to brush their teeth - starting on the dominant side of the mouth or not.

In other news, work is killing me slowly but surely. I know I owe an update on the Will 'Verse, and I'm also trying to finalize my RBB plans. I'll be back soon with a real update. Until then, please take the survey. THANKS!!!!

I'm trying to motivate myself to write again despite work sucking my soul out slowly, so I signed up for an H/C Bingo card.

I didn't do any fills on my card last year, and I only did one the year before (with a TW fic of all things - didn't realize it had been that long since I got into that show), but I'd love to do at least a line this year. I'm not going to lie - most of these prompts scream Teen Wolf at me. There are some that are very WC too though: isolation, runaways, fall from grace, family, and some of the more generic medical conditions, of course :)
