I can't be the only person who really loves filling prompts but just cannot ever think of any to leave for other people. Like, the only "prompts" I can think of are either the equivalent of a bingo card square or an incredibly detailed plot with no wiggle-room at all. And I don't feel that either of those things are particularly helpful to drop

You know, I heard about Breaking Bad when it premiered - and didn't watch it until this year? I had the same reluctance to watch. And then I was like "OH FINE" after a friend told me it was amazing, and put the pilot on - and….ended up watching the entire first season in one night. And then the second season in one day. Etc. It's ADDICTIVE, much like the meth it centres around, haha. That said, I like my stories darkdarkdark, and BrBa (hee! BromineBarium - even the abbreviation is all chemistryish) is as dark as it gets - though, it has a lot of black humour in it, too. If you're intrigued, I recommend you watch this video (it has some spoilers, but they're mashed up and without context mean nothing) - it's what convinced me to watch the show, and apparently the entire cast of the show loved said fanvid so much they put it on their Twitters and stuff. If you have a science background you'll probably get more out of it than the average person, because it's nerdariffic. :D
Interestingly, one of the main attractions to Breaking Bad for me is the relationship between the older guy and the younger dealer guy? In much the same way as White Collar. Except like...Walt/Jesse go in a totally different direction to Peter/Neal - whereas the latter is on an upward trajectory (generally), the latter is on a downward trajectory (that is - Neal is better off for having met Peter, but Jesse would be better off if he'd never met walt) - it's hilarious to be a fan of both, because you end up comparing and contrasting. ...And wanting to write crossover fic. *cough*
And, I signed up really late! ….And now have to produce a fic in like 2 weeks, whoops? Although, considering I wrote a "one shot" tonight that came to 8851 words, I'm not concerned about making the limit, haha. I'm using my "Peter is secretly being drugged and becomes insanely paranoid" idea - so there is Nealwhump! But…secondary to Peterwhump? It's a doublewhump. :D I'm excited for your BB too! Even though I'm not sure what it's about - everything you write is amazing. :D If you're looking for Nealwhump though, I wrote a spectacularly miserable BB-length (actually, I think it's too long to qualify for BB) NealWhump last week?
And, ahem! I was totally laughing at the idea, don't worry - I am a scumbag magnet, so a concussion ex is the least of my worries. He actually stalked me by sending me pictures of kittens (like…passive-agressive "HOW DARE YOU DUMP ME" kitten pics, lol wtf). So he's no loss. I'm so sorry about yours, though. What a jerkass. D:
And, lmao, it does sound kinky. I might make it after I finish making horrorbingo. *coughcoughcough* I seriously like…need to finish one project before I move onto the next one. O.o

Lol, I was actually reading your long fic when I got this comment reply :P I meant to read it when you posted it, but then a lot of things went to hell at once in RL, and I decided to wait until I was in a better mind-place. But I love it to bits. All the bits. (Not sure why it would be too long to qualify for BB, though? :S There's a min of 10k words, but no max iirc.)
I like the sound of yours, and I shall look forward very much to reading it! :D Mine's based on a prompt sholio made, where Peter's in trouble and Neal goes off-anklet to save him because the FBI won't let him do things his way. Also doublewhump :P Although I've kind of stalled, argh. I used to be able to write long fics...
Also, horrorbingo looks really great! :D *waits avidly for it to open*
