My sister, my brother, my brother's wife and kids, and my uncle and cousin all live in Huntsville Alabama, one of the hardest hit areas by the recent tornadoes. I don't yet know how they're doing, or even if they're doing. Livejournal is offering a vgift for $2.99 dollars, the proceeds of which go to the tornado disaster relief effort, and this weekend, I will write a 100 word drabble for anybody who buys one for me in any of my three fandoms. Two vgifts gets two drabbles, three gets three, etc. After you've sent me the vgift(s), leave a comment here with a character and a one word prompt for each vgift. Please please please help out here. I'm going crazy not knowing what's happened to my family.

ETA - My sister called, and everybody is alright! I may kill her myself, because she isn't staying with our brother on the mountain, where it's safer but... Cell service is back up, but electricity is down, so she's keeping her phone off to save batteries.

The meme is closed and finished.

I am bad, bad, bad at romance. So this is a Bring Your Own Subtext drabble. Sorry about that. Takes place during 2.09, Point Blank, after everything goes down with Fowler, but before Mozzie.



He stood slumped against the glass wall when Peter came in. “Why didn’t you report me?”

Peter glanced at him. “I still might.”

Neal snorted.

Putting his hands in his pockets, to keep from reaching out to him and stroking his hair. “You would have been sent down for the rest of your life.”

“Don’t I deserve it?” Neal chuckled, the sound weak and thin. He never expected to be free again after. “You’re usually all about putting people who deserve it away.”

“Yeah,” Peter agreed, and he put his hand on Neal’s arm to lead him to a chair.

Hi there! *waves* I'm pretty new to White Collar fandom, but I saw this [livejournal.com profile] wcnewsletter and I wanted to participate! I also have family in Alabama. So I sent you a v-gift, and if you feel up to writing a fic for Neal: symphony, that would be amazing. Also, I was wondering: would you mind terribly if I adopted this meme idea myself? It's not something I'd have thought of myself, but it would be a way to help you know?

Hey, I'm new to the fandom too! Welcome!



Neal had a tape deck in his cell, and five tapes, blues, rock, jazz, and Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony. He used to pop it in, sit on his bed, close his eyes, and pretend he was sitting in the audience.

When he was as kid, all the art books told him art was truth, which was ridiculous. He lied with art all the time. He loved the lies.

But that moment, when the conductor picked up the baton, and the musicians merged into one, the partnership between composer and players wasn’t something he could fake, and he couldn’t pretend for long.

Oh, this is lovely! It's written so tightly, and I can just glimpse Neal sitting on his cot as Bobby the guard walks by, you know? It's delightful!

I'd still really like to do the meme myself, and help out. I hope you get to hear from your family soon …

Lovely drabble, again!

Toph/Zuko - Fluff

Alright, so I fail at the entire concept of fluff, so I took it for a prompt. It takes place before this: http://attackfish.livejournal.com/53604.html?thread=281700#t281700



Toph was rock solid. Toph was stubborn, and blunt, the earthbender of earthbenders. She was everything everyone called her, and Zuko... loved her.

He held to his chest, clung to her, felt the warm reality of her in his arms, steady and alive.

And he always felt like his arms were going to go right through her.

Because, the was going to leave again, walk out of the palace one day, like before, like she had walked into it, and just be gone. The more he... the closer he tried to get, the more she blew away on the wind.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this. Ohhh... I was so hoping it would have a happy ending for the first part, but maybe this IS a happy ending in a way? At least they have the now, right? Well it's beautiful. Thank you for writing it.

And she always comes back. The flipside to her always leaving is that she always comes back. Silly Zuko needs to focus on the positive.

No, thank you.

Nonono. Thank YOU! (Okay, I'm done now. haha)

And that is true, isn't it? Of course this begs the question -- what if Toph were to get pregnant after one of these visits? To which country would the child belong? (Maybe it would depend if it bent earth or fire. Hmm....)

Water Tribe.

More seriously, the kid would probably have a lot of company to decide with, given all of the Fire Nation colonials and probable half Earth Kingdom half Fire Nation people hanging around. Mind, I have a hard time imagining Toph spawning anything except an earthbender... Sorry, Zuko.

Aang - Divorce

Not my normal ship... I hope you'll forgive me.



They stood in front of her tribe and listened as her father told them they were one now, one life, one spirit, two bodies.

And he remembered the way it felt to let her go beneath Ba Sing Se and held a little of himself back, divorced from her, divorced from the new being they were making named Katara-and-Aang.

It was the part of him that remembered that she was her own person, the person he loved. As she wrapped her arms around him and drew him into a kiss, he hoped she held back that bit of herself too.



P.S. Were you the person who just bought me two months paid time? Because, wow.

Neat take on the concept, tying in the Crossroads of Destiny like that.

Wasn't me.

I think Aang learned an important lesson about love that day, and it wasn't the easy or romantic, but valuable, and I like to think he remembers it.

*ponders the mystery*

Ty Lee - Armageddon

The door unlocked, and the guard stood aside. Ty Lee stepped out into the corridor and cartwheeled once, just to show she still could. Mai’s steps hitched as she fought not to run, and the Kyoshi Warriors hung back, but Ty Lee just couldn’t make herself.

But she stopped on the threshold of the tower. She stopped and stood half in the sunlight and half under the stones.

And the world out there was a world without the war, a world without Azula, a world that wasn’t... hers. She wrapped her arms around herself and stared until the others arrived.

Good imagery on all the players, how they react to going outside. I'm really digging this take you have on the Ty Lee/Azula relationship. It's an interesting break from the more typical "she gets alone with everybody" you more typically see with Ty Lee.

Getting along with everybody is different from liking everybody or trusting everybody, I think. *pets her*
