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.

El was never rescued, pre- or post-OT3
Date: 2012-09-20 01:24 pm (UTC)Fast forward a few months and even though they haven’t spoken to each other, Neal is the one to bring El home to Peter. How’s Peter react? How does El? Do they find their way back together, all three of them?
Neal/Jones HC, slash
Date: 2012-09-20 01:24 pm (UTC)Neal and James: emotional whump
Date: 2012-09-20 01:26 pm (UTC)Hurt Peter - 4x09 spoilers
Date: 2012-09-20 02:04 pm (UTC)Hurt Neal - 4x09 spoilers
Date: 2012-09-20 02:33 pm (UTC)Neal/anyone, or even Gen. Hate-crime
Date: 2012-09-20 02:43 pm (UTC)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.
Post-series sick Neal

The shooting scene from 4x10 but without the vest :P (gen or P/N, any rating :)

Date: 2012-09-20 03:04 pm (UTC)Peter vs James vs Mozze but all must save Neal
Date: 2012-09-20 03:15 pm (UTC)James thinks that for Peter, Neal is just a valuable asset he wants to get back. Peter thinks James just wants to use Neal to get the box and protect himself. However, they have to work together in order to find the box without going to the Marshells and save Neal. Of course Mozzie doesn't trust either one of them.

Date: 2012-09-20 03:21 pm (UTC)Tell me slash or OT3 is OK for this.
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Re: Hurt Neal - 4x09 spoilers
Date: 2012-09-20 03:41 pm (UTC)Challenge to Neal's self image
Date: 2012-09-20 03:42 pm (UTC)There was a line in a fanfic from another fandom once where one character says to another who has suffered permanent facial scars, "I stared because your are so badly scared yet you are so handsome."
During a case Neal suffers third degree burns to his face. It takes hours before he gets medical help and by that time the prognosis is that he will be left with permenant scaring.
Neal has never been a shallow person yet he's worked his looks all his life. How will he deal with the change and how will his friends help him?

Re: Neal/anyone, or even Gen. Hate-crime
Date: 2012-09-20 04:02 pm (UTC)Neal has PTSD, but insists everything's okay
Date: 2012-09-20 04:04 pm (UTC)Then over the next couple of weeks, he starts to show signs of PTSD. Eventual hurt comfort, Peter/Neal or OT3 please :)
no subject
Date: 2012-09-20 04:08 pm (UTC)Eventually it comes out that as a child, Neal was severely abused by his emotionally and mentally unstable mother, and until now he's mostly repressed it - but now it's all coming back to the surface.
Lots of comfort with Peter assuring him it's not his fault, and that he's safe, etc...
This might verge on crack, but I'll explain: shark attack
Date: 2012-09-20 04:08 pm (UTC)Fast forward to "Vested Interest," and the jibe about Neal faking his death a la Great White attack. Well, you can imagine what happened next.
So. Yeah. Now we're here. I'm thinking this is post-sentence, when Neal's a free man. Maybe he's in Hawaii with Sara, Peter, and El, and he's trying out surfing. Or he and Sara are skinny-dipping at dusk, because they've never seen "Jaws" and they're stupid. (Kidding.)
Anyway. There's my weirdass prompt. :D
