you're so pretty in the city where you're nothing to anyone

[frith_in_thorns]

Give me an interesting word, a canon, and (if you like) a character. I'll write you a ficlet.

(I guarantee to fill the first five prompts, after that I will still do my best but historically I fail a lot.)

White Collar, warmth

[frith_in_thorns]

You lose points for using a word of only moderate interest :P

[sholio]

OKAY FINE YOU ASKED FOR IT. XD

White Collar, coelacanth

[frith_in_thorns]

Much better :D

[robingal1]

oxymoronic, white collar

[robingal1]

after reading the previous comments, I'd like to change my word: intendant
extra points if you include something French.

[frith_in_thorns]

Afraid I failed on the French, I went for the "in charge of an Opera-house" meaning :)

Neal was clearly having far too much fun as he directed them to their seats. "And if sir would like to step this way," he intoned, standing in such a position that Peter's movement was actually impossible.

"I would love to," Peter said, through slightly gritted teeth.

"Play nice, hon," El whispered in his ear. She was wearing a black wisp of a dress and looked completely in her element.

Neal finally stepped out of the way enough for Peter to actually get past him into the box. He trod on Neal's foot on the way in - just rewards for how much Neal played up getting to be more important than Peter when undercover.

Neal's smile didn't waver. "It's our delight to give you our special treatment tonight," he said

[robingal1]

that was beautiful! I can easily visualize the whole thing!
Peter is going to have something to say about this later.
I'm so impressed with your obvious skill. to take a word and run with it like that!
thank you.

Hydrogeology, White Collar.

Diana had been suspicious of the phrase"team-building activities" from the start. Her consolation had been that the rest of her team and most of the office had been equally sceptical, with the exception of Neal, who had apparently heard nothing but "away from the city for three days". (At least he had been properly appreciative of the strings Peter had had to pull to allow him to be included.)

But then, one by one, everyone else had come around, or at least had become resigned.

Traitors.

Clinging to the rock face, Diana squeezed her eyes shut and tried to take deep breaths. She was soaked through with the spray from the underground waterfall. Caving. Whose stupid idea had this been? She was going to hunt them down and murder them. Slowly

[leesa_perrie]

Loved it!! Diana is strong, but even the strongest person has some sort of phobia *hugs her*

Neal was great in this too! Thank you! :D

[pipilj]

Aww poor Diana. Loved the fact she was so unwilling to admit any "weakness". It so like her.

[winterstar95]

Can I give you just a word:

harangue....you can pick the rest.

[frith_in_thorns]

You've probably read like a million Winter Soldier tags like this one by now but I know nothing of the fandom so I wrote one anyway :P

Natasha didn't actually say anything. Not for a very long time. She just glared at him

[sholio]

Awwww, Natasha! This is just adorable. I think you've perfectly captured her prickly, jagged edges and the caring person underneath. Of course she'd get upset about one of her few friends, someone she's just decided to let in, stupidly going and ALMOST GETTING HIMSELF KILLED.

Cretaceous, any canon.

:P
