i hear the voices when I'm dreaming

So someone, elsesite, said something that reminded me of a white collar quote

which I stopped watching somewhere in season ... four or five? ...

and I'm kinda glad I stopped because apparently they killed Neal off in the finale? Idek, Among various promo videos and clips, which didn't include the scene I was actually looking for, there was a clip from the finale

..which I shall cut for spoilers even though it's been a few years

Um.

So melissima asked for Anti-Valentine fic.

Somehow, my brain translated this to deathfic.

Don't ask.

( three drabbles, all with death warnings I AM TOTALLY NOT JOKING AT ALL wtf brain )

...

...yeah. I tried for porn, really I did...! *sigh* Dangit. I think I need ice cream now.

I. (spn)

Dean doesn't like Halloween much. Of course, none of them do, and he doesn't *hate* it the way Dad does and Sam sorta does, but he doesn't like it. More to the point, he doesn't understand it.

An excuse to gorge on candy? Sure. But that's what Easter's for.

Dressing up as monsters, though... What the hell's the point? For one thing, there's enough scary stuff out there that's *really* scary, not just a fake rubber mask and fake plastic fangs and fake scary that wouldn't scare anyone.

For another, people tend to be scary enough just on their own.



II. (white collar)

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me," Peter groans, when Neal walks in to the office in full Dracula getup, cape and all.

Neal bares too-pointy teeth and fucking *stalks* forward, cape flaring behind him. It's black with red lining, of course, and doesn't look like some cheap dollar store thing. "I vant to suck your blud," he says with a dramatically overdone accent.

Peter does not let himself smile, even a little bit. No sense encouraging the madness. "Suck on this." He holds up a cup of coffee as bribe and barrier.

Neal doesn't blink. "I never drink... coffee."



III. (blood ties)

"Come on," Coreen pleaded. "Party! It'll be fun! You do remember what fun is, don't you?"

Vicki didn't pause. "No costume," she pointed out, gesturing at herself, "and no time."

"Not my thing," Henry said impassively.

Later, Vicki looked curiously him. "Halloween's not your thing? Even with the--" She snapped her teeth together a couple of times. "--thing?"

"While the celebration of Halloween has been a fascinating social phenomenon to observe over the years," he said, sharply, "being a vampire does not make Halloween easier, nor vice versa."

"What does? --never mind, none of my business."

You, Henry didn't say.



IV. (numb3rs)

The one CalSci Halloween party that Charlie went to was, generally speaking, a place for the partygoers to out-geek each other. Obscure physics and math jokes abounded. As, apparently, did wordplay: one grad student came in a bright yellow lemon costume with "-N" written on it. (After all, spoken aloud, "lemon" without the final n did sound rather like "lemma"...)

His first year, Charlie managed to win the (prizeless but much coveted) best costume title. Pine branches and tinsel adorned his limbs, and a string of lights wound around him. On his nametag, he had written only this: "31 Oct = 25 Dec".

This is part of something that wants to be longer and plottier and full of sex and deception and wacky hijinx, but I can't for the life of me write any of it, so you get this instead. :) I was too lazy to trim it down to 100 words exactly, so it's more of a flashfic thing or fic snippet or whatever.

( pre-series )

Apparently, my brain wants to do WC drabbles. About yesterday's ep. Which I didn't even like much, overall.

This is massively spoileriffic for the finale.

( apparently I have a Moz in my head? )

I actually got a bingo in! before the deadline! I am awesome.

I find it highly amusing that I wasn't able to write White Collar fic until after I'd written a fucking *sestina*. But hey, whatever works.

I'm also amused at hit numbers on the AO3 page. I didn't link the fics anywhere, but I'd gotten a bunch of hits (30-odd, I think) even before obliquely mentioning their existance. Current stats is 0/5/61/67/11; I suspect they will spike now that kink_bingo people have access to them, never mind that there is a flood of posts right now.

Anyway, for those that are interested:


Butterflies (Inception (2010), Ariadne with shades of Ariadne/Eames, sleepy/unconscious)
Summary: Playing around with sex in dreams leads to interesting results. Sort of Eames/Ariadne, mostly not.
Content notes: none

Gestures of Love (White Collar, Peter/Neal, sensory deprivation)
Summary: Peter. Neal. Sex. In sestina form. Yes, I am a dork.
Content notes: none

Home (White Collar, Peter/Neal/El, penance/punishment)
Summary: Peter's work interferes (again!) with a promise to El; and broken promises deserve punishment.
Content notes: none

Captain's Orders (Star Trek (2009), Pike/Kirk, oral fixation)
Summary: In the Mirror Universe, Captains can own whomever they wish -- and do anything they want with them. Pike's got a boy that likes to use his mouth.
Content notes: (skip) Dubious consent situation; both parties are willing but the dynamics of the relationship don't allow true consent.

Expectations (Star Trek (2009), Spock/Uhura, whipping/flogging)
Summary: Uhura has disobeyed Spock's orders, and needs to be punished. Spock is a little baffled by this. (Please read notes for context.)
Content notes: (skip) Dubious or lack-of- consent situation. Spock is not particularly willing, and Uhura doesn't have the option of consenting.
