[Fic][SG1] U is for Unheimlich

Title: U is for Unheimlich
Author: magistrate (

magibrain)
Rating: T.
Genre: Character study, ghost story
Beta: Walked away.
Continuity: Canon-compliant.
Prerequisities: Doesn't really relate to any specific episode.
Summary: It's all ghost stories, sir.
Disclaimer: Stories told to certain audiences may have unanticipated results. Hear that, MGM? The opinions expressed herein are the properties of the characters and not of R. L. Stine. The door is open. Questions, comments and creepypasta can be left in replies or directed to magistrata(at)gmail(dot)com. Thank you for reading!

Author's Notes: This is 9,000 words. I don't know why it's 9,000 words. All I know is that I started out writing this the day I got the prompt, and yet somehow I still found myself finishing in a desperate throw-words-at-the-page rush at 2 AM the day it was due. WHY.

I'm sorry if this is absolutely incoherent.

( Not exactly a ghost story. )

[Fic][White Collar] Elephant Jokes

Title: Elephant Jokes
Rating: T.
Genre: Character study, background casefic, background crackfic
Beta: Unidentifiable.
Continuity: Quite probably not canon-compliant, as it takes place post-S4 and as of this writing S5 hasn't aired yet. (This fic also dodges all issues of how the end-of-S4 cliffhanger was resolved. In fact, you could probably just pretend that it never happened.)
Prerequisites: The pilot, most of Sara's episodes through "Shot The Moon".
Summary: Our Heroes have a case where there are plenty of clues, and yet still no one knows what they're looking for. In the case or outside of it. (Post season-4, but very little canon plot involvement.)
Disclaimer: I would eagerly engage in complicated negotiations to be invited into arrangement of ownership of White Collar; so far, though, no one has asked. The opinions expressed herein are the properties of the characters, and not of Michael Swanwick. Propane and charcoal grills should only be used outdoors. It is unlawful for a person to possess a wild animal in the state of New York. Questions, comments and cape buffalo can be left in replies or directed to magistrata(at)gmail(dot)com. Thank you for reading!

It started, as these things did, with an unknown large animal and a patio grill.

[Fic][White Collar] Rockets' Red Glare

Title: Rockets' Red Glare
Fandom: White Collar
Prompt: Explosion
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: ~6500.
Rating: T
Warnings: Explosions in public, crowded places.
Summary: An accident at the 4th of July fireworks show opens up old wounds.

Continuity: You know what? Don't even ask. It's sometime after 3.03 "Deadline" and sometime before 4.05 "Honor Among Thieves", and that is basically what I know.

Notes: For

frith_in_thorns, who said "My generalised prompt: take practically any of those scenarios and put Neal and Diana in it together. Especially explosion or natural disaster."

( Or: In which Neal is evasive, Christie is tipsy, and Diana is more prickly than cuddly, but it works out, sort of, in the end. )

[Fic][White Collar] Negative Space

Title: Negative Space
Rating: T.
Genre: Vignettes, five-things-ish, character study, a brief dalliance with hurt/comfort.
Beta: I wrote this thing, and then I posted it.
Continuity: Canon-compliant so far as I know. Takes place at various times through early-to-mid season 2, but has no real impact on canon events.
Prerequisites: Need To Know. Prisoner's Dilemma. And there's a brief reference to the Season 1 Gag Reel, which you should watch more because it's hilarious than because being able to catch the reference will add anything to this fic.
Summary: Studies of things made notable by their absence, their unspokenness, the space left around them, or their invisibility.
Disclaimer: I'm trying to think of a way to artistically talk around the copyright status of White Collar. The opinions expressed herein are the properties of the characters, and not of Alphonse Allais. Goggles should be worn when there is potential for splash from a hazardous material.
