Fannish Things (inc. new WC fic)
Feb. 7th, 2011 01:10 amLet me just say that I didn't start out intending to write a White Collar Old West AU. I really didn't. But such are the joy's of Promptfest (as hosted by the amazing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elrhiarhodan ).
Title: On the Trail
Prompt: Peter - Leather
Rating: PG? (it's occasionally suggestive, but otherwise quite tame)
Spoilers: None
Characters/Pairings: Peter, Neal
Summary: Bounty hunter Peter Burke is on the trail of the notorious confidence man and safe-cracker, Neal Caffrey
Word Count: 3023
A/N: This all started when the prompt "Peter - Leather" led me to the idea/image of Peter using a strip of leather instead of cuffs on Neal, because it couldn't be picked. Oh, yeah, and they're in the old west. :-) There were actually at least two or three versions of the scenario in my head (including one in which Peter and Neal are partners), and what follows is the one I ended up writing. I'm leaving the ending as I wrote it for Promptfest, although I think it actually could use a few more scenes to make it more of a stand-alone story. I hope to get around to writing those in the not-too-distant future (though even with them, or maybe even more so with them, the story seems to beg for a sequel). And I'd like to write the other version as well. We'll see. Also, I'm still casting about for a title I like - I had to give it something to make posting easier, but I'm not attached to it.
In other fannish news, I seem to have made the rather sudden decision that I'm going to Comic-Con this year. I have a college friend who lives out in San Diego, and when I found out she was going (or at least trying for tickets), I decided to give it a go. The process for buying tickets was completely INSANE, but I managed to snag a 4-day pass. So - trip to San Diego this summer. Woot!
