Yep, I'm alive.

Title: Watching The Waves Crashing
Characters (Pairings) Kate Moreau, Alex Hunter (background Kate/Neal).
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 523
Disclaimer: White Collar is Jeff Eastin's brainchild. Not mine.
Summary: Anyone can kinda sorta be friends, given enough alcohol. Fun and games don't hurt either.
Author's Note: This is just random floof. There's no plot here. Title's from Skies On Fire by The Green Children.
Apparently, according to my brain, Kate and Alex can only be friends when they're drunk off their asses. Okay then.
Also, I'm pretending that arcades are the same all over the world, because who has time for research, this is a kinda sorta last minute thing... don't tell anyone.
This is for

sheenianni, for the

wc_women_fest Holiday Exchange. I hope you like it!
Also, since it's well past midnight here, happy new year!! (Which also means this fic is late. ...it's our secret, okay? Shhhhh.)

( fic! )

Title: Don't Need A Dozen Roses
Characters (Pairings) Sara Ellis, Neal Caffrey, Mozzie, (Sara/Neal)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6456
Disclaimer: White Collar is Jeff Eastin's brainchild. Not mine.
Summary: Sara Ellis is confronted with a case that promises to be just as exciting as she expects it to be and a client who's going to be a pain in rather more unexpected ways.
Content Note: This story portrays the very beginning of a D/s relationship. If you'd like to know anything at all about kinks mentioned or explored in this story, please don't hesitate to PM me.
Author's Note: This fic is for

citrinesunset, for the

wcpairings exchange, with love. I hope you enjoy it! It follows one of your prompts as closely as I could manage. And I am so sorry for the delay!!! Real life staged multiple interventions.
Be warned, italics have been merrily overused.
Pardon the formal register of my writing - I've been watching far too much of The Royals.
The title's from the Nicki Minaj song Get On Your Knees. I would call it the anthem of this fic if my words didn't always end up this damned sappy. As things are, this fic is also inspired by Same Old Same Old, Dust to Dust, Eavesdrop, Disarm, and Poison and Wine, all by The Civil Wars, all delightfully angsty. The Civil Wars write and sing the best Neal/Sara songs. (Disarm is a cover, for the record.)
Sara's a lawyer in this AU. I, however, am not. (In this AU or in real life.) And even if I was, I still wouldn't have much of a clue of the American legal system, which is not the same as the Indian one. So I bullshitted my way through the legal stuff. Most of it is probably inaccurate. Prior warning issued. Sorry not sorry.
There will be more in this verse! Maybe. Look to Can't Hold You Closer Than This for my (totally nonexistent, I can assure you) reliability with delivering on fic-related promises. (This one might just get written, though, because it's mainly sexy fun times. No promises!)
I will give this fic another editorial look-over tomorrow, because I am paranoid as fuck.
Why are my fics turning into such lengthy monsters lately??? What happened to nice little thousand word fics???

( The first time Sara Ellis lays eyes on Neal Caffrey, nothing remarkable happens. )

Title: Tomorrow Is A Different Day
Characters (Pairings): Kate Moreau, Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Alexandra Hunter, Vincent Adler, Garrett Fowler (Kate/Neal)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 4990
Spoilers: For Kate's storyline through seasons 1 and 2
Disclaimer: White Collar is Jeff Eastin's brainchild. Not mine.
Summary: Kate's spent her whole life investing in her tomorrow.
Author's Note: This is for

runthecon, for the prompt 'tomorrow is another day' from

aragarna.
Title's from Avril Lavigne's Tomorrow. There are lyrics from Halsey's album BADLANDS all over the story. They serve as sort of introductions to the various little disconnected pieces. So this isn't exactly a songfic, buuut it kinda is.
Many, many thanks to

reve_silencieux for the speedy proofread and the cheerleading!

I should mention that this is a slightly old idea, and it had around 300-400 words written in advance, but this thing be looong (LOOK AT THAT WORDCOUNT, GUYS), so I don't think it makes that much of an impact? I mean, I knew the direction the story was headed in, but I had very few actual words written in advance, so. I hope that's okay?

As seems to perpetually be the case with me, this story isn't complete. Yes, you read that right. Almost 5k words and this monster wants more. Piece of shit.
Slightly spoilery content note-like thing (spoils a character arc): I know the first sentence is what it is, but Kate isn't vilified in this story. She loves Neal. She means well. She's allowed to be angry, and think freely, and do things that may hurt Neal without her realizing it. Peter, who is the antagonist of her story, is on the receiving end of much of her anger, but that doesn't make either of the two characters evil. They're just different people who happen to have made terrible first impressions on each other. Not every human on the planet has to get along like a house on fire. And finally, I'm sorry if Peter seems out of character to you, but I stand by his characterization in this fic.
I kinda sorta borrowed the "ornamental, not functional" idea from this really painful insult delivered by the President to the First Lady on Scandal. I wouldn't have mentioned it, but I couldn't find any alternate wording, so. :P
This is a bit of a bricolage, but I enjoyed writing it, so. :D

Also, it's 2 am, I haven't given this fic my usual final once-over because I'd like to sleep, please forgive mistakes and clumsy phrasing and such. ETA - Edited!

I plan on using the following bingo table for prompts. I know there's only twenty five, but on the other hand, aiming for the full thirty one is a little ambitious for me (because do you know me and my moods? XD), and if I run out, I can always find prompts elsewhere. Or, you know, use that thing called imagination.

Also, I am so sorry about totally forgetting to write fanfic last month!!! Poetry took over my brain. (Seriously though, I wrote five poems in one day last month and I still ended the month at 23. What the hell.)

( cause i slay )

ETA - While I have stored the prompts away for a rainy day, this table is not a priority for me.

Current Mood: cheerful but also tired.

I mention the lateness of the hour just in case I make a big bad boo boo, as a possible defense.

Author's Note: Written late last night for the prompt 'cry me a river' for TVU bingo. Inspiration (and a direct quote) drawn from Maya Lewis (Olivia Pope's mother)'s line in Scandal: "He ruined you. Cry me a river, Livvie. Whatever."
If you want cheerful rainbow unicorn fic, you're gonna have to look elsewhere. Sorry not sorry.

Disclaimer: White Collar is Jeff Eastin's brainchild. Not mine.
Summary: Elizabeth's move to D.C. has her off balance.
Author's Note: For

runthecon, for the prompts 'New Beginnings' and 'Last But Not Least'. Unbetaed, written in a hurry, a little shit. Title from Transcontinental, 1:30 AM by Vienna Teng.
AU from end S5 in which Rachel is arrested but Neal isn't kidnapped, because I don't need that chaos going on in the background. I think I finished this ~~just in time~~ just a teensy bit late only because I dropped this little Neal+Sara plotline I had in my head. And it's still only half a story. Ugh.
I haven't posted a proper fic here in ages. I forgot how fidgety things get when you try to align things to the centre. Oh, commentfics, you are so simple and I adore you <3

( She has only three framed pictures of Peter. )

Current Mood: nervous

What it says on the tin. There are a million other things I should be writing, but first, I need my writing mojo back. I haven't written in over a month.

I'll be filling prompts in the comments, probably in order, but I don't know yet. It will probably all be shit. I do not care. I'm gonna write.

This challenge is originally by Sunshockk on deviantart.

Also, yes, I'm alive. I may or may not throw out a life updates post later. It may or may not be flocked.

Current Mood: worn out.
Current Music: Albums by The Civil Wars or Angus and Julia Stone or Agnes Obel. I'm in a downtempo angsty music kin

Word Count: 1460
Spoilers: None
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: White Collar is Jeff Eastin's brainchild. Not mine.
Summary: It looks like it'll be a typical post-heist evening for them when Keller abruptly abandons him and dashes to his suitcase.
Author's Note: Set preseries. I do not know where this came from. This is a fill for Photo Prompt #14 - Pis Aller - over at

elrhiarhodan's Promptfest (yes, I'm back to expanding and reposting those fills). This is basically porn with a little chess and lots of feeeeelings thrown in. I have no apologies. I used to, but I gave them all away. And I do not have Keller icons. What sin is this?

Current Music: Falling Is Like This - Ani DiFranco

It's starting to look like I'll have to play catch up with Halfamoon tomorrow. I'm in the middle of an essay which will not be done before midnight, by which time I will need to sleep.

Author's Note: Title from Just A Little Bit by Maria Mena. For Day 1 of

halfamoon, for the prompt Origins/Beginnings, a little Sara backstory. No guarantees that I'm doing all the days.
I don't feel like getting into Sara's head right now, so this is mostly dialogue.
This was supposed to be just humour, but my brain had other plans. Sorry.

( "Did you get it?" )

Current Music: This Bottle Of Wine - Maria Mena

I wanted to wait a day or two before I posted this, but I figured I could just edit it later :)

elrhiarhodan asked for Neal/Rachel with the opening stanza of Annie Lennox' "Walking on Broken Glass" as inspiration. That spawned the metal wraps itself around your bones. Both of these, you want to be careful around. Especially the latter.

aragarna asked for Peter/El - "You've got the sweetest eyes I have ever seen". Which was fun! :D

theatregirl7299 asked for Neal/Diana, which deals with hearing loss and will hopefully spawn a more organized, longer, less chaotic fic.

percygranger asked for June/Byron or Diana/Christie, romance. She got both. And I really want to explore that further, but I don't know if I'm in the right mood for it. I've been rather... destructive... lately.

turtlebaby_02 asked for Neal/of my choice, "Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble, And If I stay it will be double." Knowing her, I picked Peter ;)

reve_silencieux asked for Neal/Sara, morning. (mostly because I asked her to, and she kindly obliged :D)
