Comment-A-Thon Round 35: Off Duty

Jun 02, 2015 00:14

This month's theme is Off DutyThe option selected on the poll was "Domesticity", i.e. family downtime, bonding at home, and so forth. From discussion in the comments there, I've broadened it a bit to encompass anything and everything outside of work. So think about prompts to do with group bonding, games night, hot cocoa after a snowstorm, treasure ( Read more... )

Prompt/Request: Neal draws his friends
Characters: Neal, Peter, etc
I Would Like: Neal has a habit of sketching his friends. You can do what you like with this - maybe Peter tries to sneak playful peeks at his sketchbook, or Neal gives people sketches of themselves as presents, or (if you want ANGST AND MISERY) Peter or Mozzie finds his sketchbook after he's "dead". All I really want is artist!Neal drawing the people in his life because it makes him happy. Art fills are more than welcome here, as well!
I Don't Want: Peter or anyone else being a jerk about it (though I can't really see why they would).

Neal's thoughts while swimming ultracape June 3 2015, 11:04:12 UTC

Prompt/Request: Neal swims to keep in shape and I bet he does a lot of thinking while he's swimming.

Characters: Neal and any other characters if necessary

I Would Like: Just Neal swimming at the pool he goes to. This can be any season. He can be thinking about other people, or hiests he has or has yet to pull, problems, the future, the past, his relationships, anything that pops into his mind.

I Don't Want:Him so absorbed in his thoughts that he drowns.

First of all, this is a really great prompt :D

But I just have to say that your "I don't want" is made of win :P :P :P

And let's be honest, it's exactly the thing that would happen to our favorite whump magnet :D

Re: Neal's thoughts while swimming ultracape June 3 2015, 11:16:07 UTC

I said he shouldn't drown. I didn't say he can't get charlie horse or bump his head, or get attacked by the baby shark or pyriana that Keller dumped into the pool when no one was looking. I mean where's your imagination?

Ha, so true *pets poor Neal* :D

Thread 5

Peter's new enthusiasim ultracape June 3 2015, 11:12:19 UTC

Prompt/Request: Peter stress bakes, Peter is a horseman, Peter can ice skate, Peter can dance. Peter was a pro baseball player. Peter is full of surprises. Peter is an expert marksman. While Peter puts on a macho front and some of these are macho, not all of them are. What is his next unusual enthusiasm and why does he get enthusiastic about it?

Characters: Peter and anyone else
I Would Like: Anything goes
I Don't Want: n/a

Blanket fort! aqwt101 June 4 2015, 06:18:36 UTC

Prompt/Request: Since it was mentioned… I totally want Peter and Neal in the blanket fort! :-D

Characters: Peter, Neal

I Would Like: basically, lot’s of friendship. Banter, like maybe them arguing about fort’s design? Like, Neal wants to do some enhancement to the fort and Peter being “no, it’s the classic, it should stay like this”, or something like that. Sharing things about childhood. I have no idea what would inspire them to do it at the first place - lost bet? Too much to drink? One of them had casually mentioned it in a talk and the other was “yeah, we’ve build these too!”? Whatever you’d come up with. If El comes home early and sees it, it would be priceless, but not a must. Mostly I just want lots of friendship.

I Don't Want: lots of angst, total crack, seasons 5-6, post-series.

Prompt/Request: Apparently there are dozens of abandoned little islands right in the middle on New York City! Seems lots of them have long and pretty interesting histories (check up here and here, for example). I want Peter and Neal to go explore one of them!

Characters: Peter, Neal. Others if needed.
I Would Like: Peter and Neal stumble onto a map of the island with a mysterious “X” on it and decide to check it out. They explore one of those islands and accidentally find some of it's forgotten, age-old secrets. Whatever - secret passageways, hidden treasures, old traps - all good. Them having fun doing it together (remember treasure hunt from S3?), friendship, banter - as usual. Sense of adventuring and exploring.
I Don't Want: tension, angst, one of them getting seriously injured in the process (slightly is okay, though). Seasons 5-6, post-series.
