Because a) I'm a masochist, b) I find writing challenges hard to resist and c) I crumble under peer pressure, I have signed up to love_bingo. Because when I'm spending all my spare time with plot bunnies eating my brain, what I obviously need is more of them! (I am doing so much writing at the moment! Actually finishing all the things I'm working on... not ( Read more... )

Ooh... hmm! What pairings do you want to write? Or does it matter? Because I can think of prompts for nearly any combination of White Collar characters.

"Secret Lover" lends itself rather obviously to Neal/Peter/El, if you could overcome the power-dynamics squick and the inherent sadness of their relationship being like that.

"Diamond" also seems like a tremendously WC-ish prompt. Hmm, perhaps Neal/Sara? Or Neal stealing diamonds to give Kate?

"Living together" - you could do something with Diana and Christie first moving in together, or with P/E/N post-anklet. Or, er, any couple ever. (I see what you mean about the general vagueness of the prompts).

"Mile High Club" - er, the very first thing that came to mind for this one was extremely depressing Neal/Mozzie, in the plane, at the very end of season three. Meanwhile back on PLANET REALITY *g*, it totally seems like something that Neal and Kate, or Neal and Alex, would have done back in the pre-anklet days. To keep it basically PG-rated, Neal could be vaguely hinting around (not) telling the story to Peter while they're, I don't know, on a stakeout or trying to distract themselves while trapped somewhere or something.

Now here are some for our Fallen London 'verse:

Mile High Club - in New Newgate Prison! (It's probably not a mile above the city, but it's pretty high.) Or on a dirigible! Going for the gennest possible version of the prompts, possibly stealing something from a dirigible and/or trying not to get killed in the prison.

Honeymoon - the one that INSTANTLY came to mind here is Peter and El going off somewhere in the Neath for a little alone time and things going disastrously wrong in a Neal-involving kind of way. (Or maybe not - maybe things go disastrously wrong in a not at all Neal-related way and Neal has to rescue them!)

True Love - Neal looking for Kate in the Neath.

... okay, it's actually way harder coming up with Fallen London ideas for these than I thought it was going to be.

Have you seen the opp card where you carry out a dirigible heist to break someone from New Newgate? :D

Love the Peter&El one. Oh dear XD

It seems like I should be able to fit quite a few of these to the Neath, given the Bazaar's obsession with love... hmm.

I think "Diamond" is a very White Collar thing. And diamonds are USEFUL! For getting out of kidnap situations and suchlike *gg*
