Haaai ♥

I'm working and working and working but I do have time for some procrastination :P

A few so that you can choose one that works best:

Neal - photo
Peter - fear
Stiles - speed
Scott - trap
Shawn - milkshake

{{{{hugs}}}}

(I love these!)

Neal - photo

Neal was having a hard day. It was the anniversary of Kate’s death, and Peter had given him a particularly difficult embezzlement case to solve. It was probably Peter’s way of trying to take his mind off of Kate, and Neal appreciated the thought, but it wasn’t working.

He needed a few minutes alone, so he slipped away from his desk and headed up to the roof. It felt like a lifetime ago that he’d sat up here with Sara and discussed her ‘death’, but it had only been a long couple of years. He couldn’t think about her right now.

He kept the roof door open with a well-placed credit card from his wallet and then moved to look out at the city. New York. His favorite city in the world. This is where he’d met her, and this is where she’d died. He couldn’t help but feel that was his fault.

Neal sighed and looked down at the wallet he still held in his hand. Tucked in a nearly hidden slot, he kept a photo of her. He pulled it out now and studied it. Kate was looking toward the camera he’d been holding. She wasn’t wearing anything but one of his button-ups, and she was laughing at something he’d said. It was the best of times, when they were young and in love and nothing could come between them.

He’d give anything to go back to that day one more time. To see her one more time.

This is beautiful.
Neal needs a hug.

Thank you! He definitely needs a hug, poor guy.

Beautiful, perfect ♥ aww, poor Neal, I agree, he needs a hug. And the idea of him keeping a pic of Kate - awwwwwwwwwwww ♥

You still got it , my friend *muah* :D

Thank you so much! {{{{{{{{{HUGSSSSSS}}}}}}}}}

This sounds fun :)

Sara, leaflet
Mozzie, puppy

You probably didn't mean this as an exchange but if you want to leave me a prompt I could write something back for you? :) (Though I only write WC from your list of fandoms.)

I have an idea for Sara, leaflet, but the other prompt immediately sparked a mental image. Hope you enjoy! And it can totally be an exchange - how about Neal, towel or Sara, lamp?

Mozzie, puppy

“Now, Ginsberg, there will be rules at the Suit’s house.”

The Goldador puppy woofed in response, and Mozzie shrugged. “I know, I know. It’s barbaric, but I have to leave town for a while, and you can’t come with me.”

Ginsberg growled.

“I’m sorry.” Mozzie climbed the steps to the Burke’s front door and looked down. “Sit.”

Ginsberg dropped down on his butt and looked pleased with himself.

Mozzie fed him a treat before ringing the Burke’s doorbell.

Elizabeth answered the door with a smile. “Mozzie! Do we have a lunch date?”

“Ah, no, but I need a favor.” He held up the colorful leash so that she could see it. “I have to go out of town, and I was hoping you could watch Ginsberg for me.”

One of her perfectly manicured eyebrows rose. “You can both come inside, but you’re explaining this to Peter.” She stepped to the side and then followed him back into the house. “Neal, come down and say hi to Mozzie,” she called up the stairs.

The familiar name still sent a pang of grief through his whole body, even though he stopped by to see the Burkes fairly often.

Mozzie took a seat on the couch just as the four-year-old Neal bounded down the steps, shouting, “Mr. Moz!”

Ginsberg’s tail started wagging faster, and he barked playfully at Neal.

“A dog! Mom, look, Mr. Moz brought a puppy!”

“Yes,” Elizabeth confirmed, “but it’s his puppy.”

Neal was unaffected by that news. “What’s his name?”

“Ginsberg.” Mozzie handed the leash to Neal. “Why do you take him out into the backyard to play?”

“Okay!”

Elizabeth watched them go before sitting down next to Mozzie. “What’s going on, Moz?”

“One of my contacts in South America called with a possible sighting. I want to go and check it out before the trail goes cold.” Over the last couple of years, Mozzie had been getting calls from people all around the world saying they’d spotted Neal, that the man they saw looked far too much like Caffery to be a doppelganger and far too corporeal to be a ghost. He didn’t believe them at first, and then when he did start following up, he always too late to catch sight of the man himself.

Elizabeth smiled softly and pulled him into a hug. “I hope you have safe travels. Let us know when you’re back in town so you can take Ginsberg back, and I’ll tell Peter what’s going on.”

“Thank you, as always, Elizabeth.”

Ohhhh, that's lovely! I adore Ginsberg already and I love that Mozzie hasn't given up on Neal <3

Thanks! Ginsberg is super cute, and I don't think Moz could give up on Neal if he thought he was out there somewhere. :)

This was lovely; Ginsberg and Mozzie are adorable and Elizabeth is awesome :) But I also want to throttle Neal - if it's been over four years and he still stays away and isn't in contact with them, maybe the relationship should end at that point?

I'll think about the promts :)

Thank you! In my head, Neal thinks he's protecting everyone by not telling them that he's alive/where he is/etc. But Moz will track him down and give him a lecture about it, for sure. :)

I'm glad you found toilet paper!! \o/

Neal - aftershave
Peter - woods

Thanks! :D This one is a little short, but I had so much fun writing it!


Peter added more wood to the fire he’d just built and then sat back to admire his handiwork. He still had it, after all these years. This weekend, he was camping with Neal, who’d just turned 9 and was obsessed with being a Cub Scout and earning as many merit badges as possible. Peter was happy to help.

“Dad!” Neal called from somewhere out in the woods. “Is poison ivy the one with three leaves?”

“Yes,” Peter responded warily. “Why?”

“No reason!”

“Neal?!”

Ah I'm sorry I missed the notification!

Haha aww this is so cute :D I love Peter being such a good dad and little Neal being just as much trouble as his namesake :')

No worries! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I really wanted little Neal to be just as much a handful as his namesake, lol. It's only fun that way!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, how about:

Neal - closet

or

Neal - peanut butter

Excellent prompts! I hope you enjoy! :)

“Good afternoon, viewers,” Neal smiled at the webcam set up on the other side of his kitchen counter. “Today, we’re going to make peanut butter cookies. This is one of my favorite recipes because I used to make them with my mom on snow days as a kid.

“This is a very simple recipe. You’ll need sugar, an egg, and,” he held up an unlabeled jar of peanut butter. “Creamy style works best with this recipe. I know, I know, crunchy is the best, but I hope you have some creamy on hand too.”

He reached out to grab the last ingredient and knocked it off the counter. “Whoops! One second,” he leaned down and picked up the bag. “This is a critical part of the peanut butter cookie,” he chuckled and held up a bag of Hershey’s kisses. “Technically, these will be peanut butter kisses.”

Off-screen, a door opened and closed. “Neal, are you home?”

Neal’s eyes darted over to the hallway that led to the front door where his wife had just come home early from work. He decided to roll with it. He could always edit the video or even start over later. “In the kitchen.”

Sara walked through the doorway and gasped. “Are you filming today? I’m so sorry. I closed the Wilkinson case and didn’t want to go back into the office.”

“It’s okay.” He beckoned her over. “Everyone, this is my wife, Sara. Sara, meet everyone.”

“Uh, hi,” she blushed and waved at the camera awkwardly.

“Do you want to help? I’m making peanut butter kisses.”

“I can’t say no to kisses,” she said before pulling him into a kiss.

Neal returned the kiss and then laughed. “This is a PG-13 cooking tutorial, Mrs. Caffrey.”

“Well, now you tell me.” She laughed too and put on the apron he handed her.

For the next half hour, they baked cookies and playfully discussed their days and remembered some of their favorite dates. Hopefully, it would be fun for the viewers. He’d talked about Sara before, but she was very busy as an insurance investigator, so she hadn’t made an appearance on his online cooking show, Cooking with Caffrey.

He posted the video the next day, and they sat together on the bed that night and read the comments. Sara was a hit with his viewers, and they started discussing what they could cook together next.

Yay! My favorite WC couple. I love the idea of Neal as a food blogger. I would watch that any and every day of the week.

Thanks ang!

You're welcome! He would be an excellent food blogger, and I can see Mozzie popping up to offer wine recommendations ;)

AWWWW this is awesome and adorable <3

Thank you! :D

Awww!! I would totally watch that cooking show! (And eat those cookies!!)

Me too! Neal would do the best cooking show :D
