H/C Bingo card!

[magibrain]

First time I've ever done one of these. Should be fun! ...for me more than the characters, obviously*.

Somehow, I was expecting a lot more supernatural stuff, but it looks like aside from "poltergeist", looks like not so much. Oh, well. Still plenty of trouble I can get up to with the things I've been given, I'm sure.

If anyone has takes on these prompts they'd especially like to see me take a swing at, either in White Collar or Stargate: SG-1 (classic team), feel free to lob them my way! No guarantees, but I can at least try. (Bonus points for prompts which deliberately subvert the themes in some way. What can I say; I have a soft spot. Other bonus points for prompts angled to pass the Bechdel test.)



Prompts marked with ellipses – (...) – indicate ones I'm currently working on fills for. You know, where I have a document with a (probably awful) working title and some words in it, and such. I've also mucked with the background image, because the original version made it really hard for me to read the white text in some of the squares, and the table/cell border color, because I do what I want.

depression	plane crash	toothache	combat	kidnapping (...)
dungeons	drugged	loss of home / shelter The Wind Will Ruin Everything	explosion Rockets' Red Glare	natural disasters
body image issues	burns	WILD CARD	blood loss	suicide attempt I Say Our City is Small and Teeming with Ghosts
hypoglycemia / low blood sugar (...)	bruises The Sky Never Fights Back	poltergeist (...)	therapy (...)	drowning (...)
grief	nausea (...)	loss of possessions (...)	blackmail (...)	assault

*Hopefully.

Since I am still staunchly resisting the temptation to sign up for an hc_bingo card of my own, I'm just going around stalking other people's cards and offering suggestions. XD

hypoglycemia/low blood sugar - heh, you could do this one with Peter: he usually eats breakfast with Elizabeth, but on the days that she's not around or they're both rushing out the door, he doesn't bother (there's actually an episode where this happens, I think; they both start to sit down to breakfast, then realize they're too busy, and run out the door without eating), so on those days he just drinks coffee 'til lunch. Or possibly 'til dinner, depending on how busy the workday gets. And he doesn't really notice being hungry per se, but he gets grouchier and ever more sarcastic until he's borderline unbearable. Then on one particularly busy day, he goes like 16 hours without consuming anything but coffee, and either actually passes out, or reaches the point where he can't think properly anymore (but doesn't realize he can't), which totally freaks Neal out. So Neal starts ~subtly~ making sure that he eats (sneakily leaving food around, coming up with excuses why they have to take a break and go to lunch), out of self-preservation if nothing else.

:D

Poltergeist: Neal and Peter in a haunted house, 'nuff said. :D

(Or: you could do the basic plot of SG-1's "Crystal Skull" with Neal in the Daniel role. Best of all, only Mozzie can kinda/sorta hear him or communicate with him, but no one believes him, and he's not even sure if he believes himself.)

Loss of possessions: Diana moved around all the time when she was a kid (and even afterward), and has a ~special thing!~ that she carried around with her through all the moves, but something bad happens to it, so she's totally down about it but doesn't want to admit it because she thinks it's silly.

I also think any of the more blatantly h/c-ish prompts would be a lot of fun with Peter and Diana, because there is so little fic with them and I find their bantery interactions a load of fun! It would be great to see them, oh, kidnapped together, or interrogated together ("blood loss" or "bruises" or "dungeons").

Therapy- Maybe Elizabeth after being kidnapped by Keller?

...okay, now I want to see if there's a way to bring in the actual Crystal Skull, or just one more of Quetzalcotl's skull devices, and still have it fit the prompt. Paul Davis could make a surprise guest appearance! I don't know, maybe some guy has fled New York under some kind of serious Adler-level allegations, and the White Collar team has to investigate his mansion, which is full of weird artifacts. Then Neal stares into the eyes of the skull too long and disappears, but the skull is slightly defective and doesn't shift him out all the way, leaving him with some limited ability to interact with the world around him; after the reports get filed, Davis (who must be a Colonel or something by now, seriously) shows up and wants them to hand over the crime scene to a governmental organization Peter's never heard of before, citing national security. But Davis being Davis, Peter is able to convince him to give the White Collar team 24 hours to see what happened to Neal. So the team ends up working through the night in this guy's mansion, with Neal trying desperately to communicate with them and most of them just thinking the place is haunted.

Also, Peter and Diana, yes. I would not be disappointed if every fic I wrote for this involved Diana, because Diana. ...I feel like the two of them fighting their way out of somewhere would be amazing, because everyone would underestimate them ("Hey, it's some old guy and a chick!"), and then they would regret that. Like, a lot.

Ahaha. Now I'm just picturing him doing things like replacing Peter's badge, wallet, etc. with various food items, and Peter just being incredibly unamused and failing to take the hint. probably because when he's reaching for his badge or his wallet, he has more pressing concerns than snack foods.

[sholio]

*giggles* I can totally imagine that: Peter reaches for his badge ... and gets a banana. "NEAL!" And since they're right in the middle of something, the thought never even occurs to him that it's anything other than Neal messing with him.
