The course of true love, Peter and Neal's friendship, and Big Bang challenges never run as smoothly as they should. One of our artists has had some serious computer woes that have caused her to drop out of the round. That means that there are two stories that will now need art.
Please respond in comments if either (or both) of these stories pique your artistic interests.
7. Title: (Can be final or working) The Shortcut Home
Characters and Pairings: Neal Caffrey, Rachel Turner, Peter Burke, Clinton Jones, OC; Neal/Rachel, background mentions of Peter/Elizabeth
Likely rating: Mature
Summary: As a child of a British mother and American father, Rachel Turner grew up with duel citizenship moving from military base to military base all over the world. It gave the girl a well rounded sense of adventure that she wanted to nourish no matter what. After turning eighteen she decided she wanted to do something important with her life. She enrolled at Quantico and became a FBI agent. All she wanted to do was make a difference. However, after an undercover operation went south Rachel was demoted from the Counterterrorism Division to White Collar. Working with Peter, Neal, and the gang is frustrating and she feels it is well below her skill set, but maybe this is exactly what she needs. Perhaps she needs to realize that while she tries desperately to get back in the Bureau's good graces to earn her place back in the Counterterrorism Unit. She doesn't want to spend the rest of her days pushing papers and dealing with that cocky yet charming conman who she can't get out from under her skin no matter how hard she tries. Excitement and adventure is in her blood. She wasn't made to stay in one place. When the chance finally arises for her to get back undercover will her time at White Collar had softened her skills or will she push things a little too far in the hopes of getting back to where she so desperately wants to be? Will anyone be there to pull her back? After a life of new places and new names, will she finally find where she belongs?
23. Title: Choices
Characters and Pairings: Neal Caffrey/Sara Ellis, rest of the main cast
From Suits: Donna Paulsen, Rachel Zane, Mike Ross and Harvey Specter (they're not a main part of the story; just side characters)
Likely rating: M
Summary: Sara didn't want to choose - her job or Neal. London or New York. She wanted it all but that was impossible.
