Here’s our latest commentfic challenge, to tide us over until Whump-a-Palooza postings start in early June! (What are you waiting for - only two dates left to claim!)
Now, in real life, head injuries are nothing to trifle with, but in TV Land, they’re resolved by the end of the hour! This makes them one of my favorite tropes.
This fest is actually more expansive than you think – we’re including any kind of injury or illness that occurs above the neck. Amnesia. Concussion. Fever dreams. Loss of sight. Hell, even dental surgery – it’s all good.
ALSO, for this and all past fests, artistic interpretations of prompts are very welcome, so if you're one of those whose muse tends to favor the visual arts, go right ahead!
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 “FILL” in your fills (helps me to keep track for the fill posts)
- Feel free to post to your LJ and link here
- Be nice. Have fun.
Questions? Leave a comment below.
This fest will last until June, but – as with all our commentfic fests – we never really close them down.
So prompt away, fellow Comforteers….just remember to come back and fill a few, too!
List of fills here

Neal, post-JD amnesia, slash or gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:01 am (UTC)Peter fever, Neal is not what he seems, slash or gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:02 am (UTC)Peter is plagued with a high fever and hallucinates… something… about Neal. Is he an angel? A vampire? Up to you. Is it real or the fever? Also up to you.
More Neal!amnesia! Neal/Keller, optional D/s
Date: 2012-05-01 10:03 am (UTC)Keller’s smackdown in Checkmate leaves Neal with amnesia, and he now thinks he’s in the past, when he and Keller were partners. Keller uses this.
I think an added point of interest would be a sexual D/s relationship between these two, but I’m not saying it’s mandatory, nor am I saying the depiction of said relationship needs to be explicit. If not (or in addition), it would be interesting to explore Keller’s feelings for Neal – like, he really loved Neal at one point and to have him as an enemy hurts.
Peter, Mozzie or Neal, ear ache, gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:30 am (UTC)Neal, drugged (mind altering substance), gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:34 am (UTC)(I'm hoping this fits the theme, if not I'll be happy to delete)
Peter, migraine, gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:38 am (UTC)Feverish Neal
Date: 2012-05-01 10:38 am (UTC)Re: Neal, drugged (mind altering substance), gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:40 am (UTC)Re: Neal, drugged (mind altering substance), gen
Date: 2012-05-01 10:45 am (UTC)Neal can see sickness and death
Date: 2012-05-01 10:48 am (UTC)While deplaning, Neal is accidently whacked on the head and develops a killer headache. When Neal wakes up the next morning he can "see" Mozzie's developing respertory infection though he has no idea what it is. Neal tries to act like nothings wrong but he becomes more confused and terrified as the day goes on as he can see the illness in all things and he can even see death.
I would love Peter to the rescue in some way.
Neal, temporary deafness, gen or OT3.
Date: 2012-05-01 11:13 am (UTC)I'd love to see Moz and Neal able to communicate via subtle signals developed over years of friendship and collaboration. Or maybe Neal knows some ASL, and Peter and/or Elizabeth do too?
Drugged!El - Checkmate tag
Date: 2012-05-01 12:14 pm (UTC)Toothache - Neal or Peter
Date: 2012-05-01 12:29 pm (UTC)ETA: Gen or any permutation of the OT3 preferred.
Neal depressed, post-JD AU (trigger for mental illness)
Date: 2012-05-01 12:47 pm (UTC)Gen or any permutation of the OT3 preferred.
More Amnesia!Neal - he thinks he's Peter
Date: 2012-05-01 12:51 pm (UTC)Anyhoo, Neal is bopped on the noggin and when he wakes, he thinks he's Special Agent Peter Burke of the FBI, and who the hell is that imposter over there kissing his wife, goddammit?
Neal can't lie
Date: 2012-05-01 01:13 pm (UTC)Re: Neal can't lie
Date: 2012-05-01 01:31 pm (UTC)Re: Neal can't lie
Date: 2012-05-01 03:33 pm (UTC)Prompt: Blind/Scared Neal lost in DC, gen or slash
Date: 2012-05-01 05:23 pm (UTC)Re: Feverish Neal
Date: 2012-05-01 05:26 pm (UTC)Head injury - no help for a while
Date: 2012-05-01 05:37 pm (UTC)Re: More Amnesia!Neal - he thinks he's Peter
Date: 2012-05-01 06:36 pm (UTC)I <3 this prompt. lol
Sensory deprevation
Date: 2012-05-01 07:58 pm (UTC)Anyway, I've been saving this link for a while: The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes. The prompt is to do something with it. (Pick your character/pairing.)
Insomnia, Slash or Gen.
Date: 2012-05-01 08:30 pm (UTC)Neal or Peter suffering from insomnia, being so tired that although you want to sleep you but your brain won't actually shut off enough for you to sleep.
So figured I'd try leaving a prompt for the first time, apologies if this doesn't fit with the fest.
