White Collar Whump-a-Palooza II

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

Based on the results of our last poll , our next ‘fest will be Major Whump! Thanks to all who voted.

In contrast to the last Whump-a-Palooza , this one will be a good, old fashioned commentfic thang. And with the show now on hiatus, and some of the goodies they served up the last couple of episodes, the possibilities are endless. It’s time to deal some major whump to our favorite characters.

What do we mean by “major whump”?  Traditionally, I’d say it’s a major injury or illness, but it can be whatever you want it to be, really. We don’t stand much on ceremony here. I mean, if you can have Neal totally angsting over a toenail fungus, go to town.

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
• You’re an artist? Terrific – artsy fills are cherished and adored, as are fanmixes.
• Be nice. Have fun.

Questions? Leave a comment below.

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

The List o' Fills for this fest is here.

Neal/anyone, or even Gen. Hate-crime

Hate-crimes happen. Especially in highly populated areas, so what if Neal were a victim of one? This is a pretty open prompt, since this type of whump is very open to interpretation, as many things constitute a hate crime. (Though since this IS a major whump ‘fest, a certain amount of violence is probably expected.*G*)
The pairing is open-ended too, since I like virtually all the usual WC pairings, though I’m especially fond of P/E/N OT3 and Neal/Jones. And could can be said for keeping this pairing lite, het, or gen, even, since a lot of hate crimes happen solely based on the thought that ‘that guy COULD BE gay/WHATEVER’.
I’ll throw a couple of maybe’s out here… Maybe Neal’s dodging a tail on a job and has to duck into a gay club or some other such venue and loses his tail, but get’s jumped on the way out.
Maybe a couple of FBI agents that already don’t like him based on the fact that he’s a criminal see him out on a date with an unknown man (could be Peter or Jones, if they were unable to get a good look), and they decide to go the ‘teach him a lesson route’… I know Peter said that the FBI doesn’t care about that sort of thing when Neal asked about Diana, but in my experience, that sort of policy is actually based more on what the boss’ opinion is, if you get what I’m trying to say, and only a moron is going to air their homophobic beliefs in front of either Peter or Diana.
Or maybe someone can come up with an even better scenario.*G* I’d just like to see something like this happen.

I love this one... I'm thinking of taking it if I have time but if someone wants to do it first, feel free :P

Oh, I can totally picture AU White Collar stories where Neal is gay and is attacked because of that. Each time I watch the episode where the FBI agent had inappropriate relationships with his CI and Peter says El is happy Neal is a man, I can't help wishing Neal to be gay in White Collar.

I hope someone would write it.
