White Collar Freedom Fest

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

You know, we were going to wait until April to launch our next Fest, but that Season 3 Finale got us all excited for stories covering what might happen next. Hence: White Collar Freedom Fest.

What was going through Neal's mind as he sat on that plane? What was going through Peter’s mind when he signaled to Neal that he should go? Will they ever see each other again? (OK, of course they will – there’s a Season 4, after all – work with me!) But what adventures will they have in the interim?

But this Fest isn’t just about tags for Judgment Day – we’re nothing if not flexible here at the White Collar Hurt/Comfort Community. For example: What did Kate do during those years she was hiding from Neal? What else could Neal have been running from when he left home at the age of 18? Perhaps wee!Moz ran into a bad crowd after he left Detroit?

The possibilities are endless.

Detailed rules for our fests can be found here , but here are the highlights:

• One prompt per comment
• Warn for triggers
• Use the subject line!
• Use the word “FILLED” in your fills
• Feel free to post to your LJ and link here
• Be nice. Have fun.

Questions? Leave a comment below.

This fest will last until the end of April, when we will launch our next one, but – as with all our commentfic fests – we never really close them down.

Satchmo’s Adventures, Gen

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

When he was a puppy, Satchmo used to escape the Burkes’ house a lot. What mischief did he get into on the streets of Brooklyn?

White Collar vs. The Defiant Ones, Peter/Neal slash or pre-slash, NC-17

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

Inspired by the classic movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Defiant_Ones) starring Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis.

Post-Judgment Day. Plotcakes happen and Neal and Peter are either being sent to the same prison or are working on a chain gang. (Because there are still chain gangs in 2012, right? Work with me.) They escape, but are shackled together. At first they hate each other (maybe Peter blames Neal for getting him into all of this, maybe they haven’t spoken since being sentenced) but then of course they have to work together to survive the harsh weather conditions. They eventually get to respect and even admit their love for each other, and then: seksi tiems.

OK, so I just want shackled-together-seksi-tiems. Sue me…

Neal escapes from Kramer…, dark!fic, warning for implied (or actual) suicide

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

… by framing Kramer for his murder.

So, let me back up. Let’s say Neal stayed and faced the music because he didn’t want Peter to suffer the consequences if he ran. So he went to DC, and Kramer was a bastard to him. So he… plots his revenge.

Is he really dead? How abused and mistreated was he to think it was his only out? Or is he just crafty? Does Peter investigate? I leave it to you.

I think I'd love it if it were slash, but gen is perfecctly OK

[soteriophobe.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I have so many plot bunnies, but I love this one. I hope someone fills it!

Missing years

[raven-tree.livejournal.com]

What happen to Neal between 18 and 22?

[surreal-44.livejournal.com]

Kramer always suspected that Peter would rebel against him. He just never thought it would be in such a big way. Kramer's thoughts and feelings as he watches Peter struggle with the choices he's made, and the consequences of his actions.

(( Ok, so that's a loose interpretation of the prompt. Does it still work? ))

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

It's AAAALLLL good.

[surreal-44.livejournal.com]

\o/ ! Also, Hi!

During the chase years, Peter actually tracks Neal down--while he's in hospital.

That's it. Everything else is up to you. Does Neal escape? Can he escape? Or does Peter let him go? Does Kate help--or is this after Kate has disappeared and Neal's looking for her? Is Alex in the picture? Is Keller? Inquiring minds ...

You evil woman.

Just when I think I'm out...YOU PULL ME BACK IN. -twitch-

Alright. Fine. I might be able to sorta possible shouldn't but will anyway write this one. Maybe.

-has no self-control whatsoever-

And if this is written, which it might be because I am WEAK, it might be incredibly sad. Because yes. :)

Re: Neal escapes from Kramer…, dark!fic, warning for implied (or actual) suicide

[kcrenegade.livejournal.com]

And gen. If that's okay.

Im already mapping the story out in my head. -facepalm-

Neal/Gordon

[hope-calaris.livejournal.com]

They meet up in Paris, and since Neal can't go back, they go on a heist tour through Europe with Mozzie. Feelings ensue.

Re: Neal escapes from Kramer…, dark!fic, warning for implied (or actual) suicide

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

Gen is fine. And you are right - I am evil.

MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Re: Neal/Gordon

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

That. Is. Awesome.

I've been wanting an excuse to write Neal/Gordon. Do you mind some porn in there?

Re: Neal/Gordon

[hope-calaris.livejournal.com]

No, not at all! Go for it!

(And I imagine them as being a happy couple, both knowing it isn't meant to be forever and enjoying it while it lasts, but you can ignore that part if it doesn't suit you.).

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

BTW, I'm not averse to death fic if that's how this shapes up. Not asking for it, but don't feel you cant go there if you need to.

AU Neal/Kramer in New York

[azertynin.livejournal.com]

Neal didn't run to protect Peter and has ended in Kramer's hands. Kramer works in New York instead of D.C. So, he is Neal's new handler. He treats Neal badly and puts him often in danger when he uses him to work on undercover. Peter doesn't like that. He tries to protect Neal and free him from Kramer.

Gen only please. Whump!Neal would be greatly appreciated but not too much (no rape, no torture).

Sick!Neal in Tropical country

[azertynin.livejournal.com]

Neal and Mozzie run away in tropical country where Neal gets sick with Malaria. Mozzie hides Neal and takes care of him the best he can. Peter, who is looking for them, finds them. And... I don't know. Perhaps Neal needs better medical attention and Peter has to find a way to bring him back to New York.

Gen only please.

Re: Sick!Neal in Tropical country

[neontiger55.livejournal.com]

I've been writing this exact fic since the finale! Will post a link here when it's done if you like? :)

Re: Sick!Neal in Tropical country

[azertynin.livejournal.com]

Happy !!!

I can't wait to read your story. :D

Re: Sick!Neal in Tropical country

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

Look at you! You're psychic! Man I love a good malaria fic!

Re: Neal/Gordon

[frith_in_thorns]

That's exactly how I see them too. I imagine them being such a fun ship!

[indigocat.livejournal.com]

Mozzie and Elizabeth join Neal on the plane.

Re: Satchmo’s Adventures, Gen

[kcrenegade.livejournal.com]

Does it involve puppy Satchmo running into younger Neal? Because really. Satchmo was a bit to friendly with a Neal in the pilot. (yes yes I know, having owned a Lab, those dogs will leave with strangers for a dog biscuit but please...) :)
