White Collar Single Sentence Challenge II is Now Opened

Single Sentence Challenge Promptfest is BACK

Think you can’t write fanfic? Think again, because Sentence!Fest is a fun way to get your feet wet. Basically, the challenge is to tell a complete story using one sentence only.

Sounds easy, but perhaps it is not. How would you tell your story if you only had the space of one sentence? Would you use dialogue? Action? Emotion? Observation? Would it be haunting? Poetic? Sexy? Tragic?

The rules are simple: Tell a story using one sentence. It can be as long as you want it to be, but it must make sense (imaginary points will be deducted). It can be as short as you want it to be, but make those words count. Tell a story that will provoke the imagination of your readers – one they will demand to have the beginning, middle and end of from you – that is the ultimate goal. Here is an example:

Neal and Peter have the sex.

Here is a better one:

When Peter finally opened his eyes, it was to see his lover's rapt face as Neal rode him, the rising sun forming a perfect golden halo around his dark head; his savior, his angel.

Capice?

This particular ‘fest will operate like any other. Take a prompt, fill a prompt, leave a prompt. There are no limits – multiple folks can fill any and all prompts. Use them to craft a narrative if you like, but each entry must convey an entire scene within that narrative. All subject matter is fair game, so RPF/RPS is allowed. This fest is unlocked and opened to everyone who would like to write.

Cuz Sentencefest can be a little overwhelming, it will be co-moderated by myself, [livejournal.com profile] coffeethyme4me and [livejournal.com profile] rabidchild67 .

Prompts will be found in the first comments below - let the games begin.

Moz -- Seeing the Bright Side

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Neal opened his eyes slowly, the smell of cheap coffee coming from somewhere not too distant, and he could hear Moz whistling something from 'South Pacific' and shuffling about the tiny motel space, futzing around, and Neal realized, though it was all gone, every cent he'd ever earned or stolen, he had the thing that mattered most, and while he hardly felt rich, he felt alive.

Peter/Neal -- Any Way I Can/Bitch

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The tracker on my ankle doesn't obligate me, though I'll admit that it makes things...messy...but it's the look in his eye, the one that says he wants me, intends to have me, that I shouldn't resist falling to my knees yet again for him, because he knows I'll take it any way I can, and Peter knows, as I pull out his cock in the 15th floor restroom and dutifully start sucking, that I may never obey him completely out there, but I'll always be his collared bitch down here -- always.

Diana/Christie -- Getting her pregnant

Neal/Peter/Elizabeth -- When there is will

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Right now, Peter doesn’t seem angry, so Neal hesitantly takes the place opposite him on the couch, and after a minute of agonizing silence, he says: “Hey,” and waits – and then Peter replies with the smallest hint of a smile, and El comes back from the kitchen with tea and a tray of cookies, and Neal realizes that despite the treasure and Keller, things will be repaired, because when the three of them want to do something together, nothing can stop them.

Re: Neal/Peter/Elizabeth -- When there is will

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Awwwwww. I love love love this!

Moz -- Doctor

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
While Neal is in the next room hurriedly picking El’s cuffs and watching out for more Keller’s men, Mozzie hisses at Peter to be quiet, trust him and let him take care of it, because allegedly, he is sometimes a doctor, and none of his patients will ever die of a stupid knife stab to their chest.

Re: Moz -- Doctor

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-12 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Doctor Mozzie to the rescue! Great image of him working on Peter, while Peter's cursing and hissing and trying to get up and go to El.
And Mozzie would do his "take charge"-thing and get all bossy and make Peter stay still or else! :D

Peter -- Strike

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Warning: Mildly triggering for child abuse.

He liked to think his father was a good man, that it was just the booze that gave him that mean edge that made him strike out, and take his anger at the world out on the nearest target; when it would be over, Peter would lay on his stomach while his back stung, and sometimes he would wish that just once, he had the strength to hit back.

Re: Peter -- Strike

Wow, that's so powerful. Poor Peter!

Neal - Threads

[identity profile] doctor-fangeek.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
This will be his first day back at the office since the plane…since Kate…and Neal is grateful as he carefully chooses his shirt, knots his tie, puts on just the right set of cufflinks, though not because the clothes are so much better than the orange jumpsuit he’d been relegated to again (though they certainly are), but because of the protection they offer, the way they make him look healthy and whole, even though he’s not, the way they make him look “put together,” despite the tattered threads of his soul.

Re: Neal - Threads

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
wow!

Neal/Kate -- Butterfly

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
The first few days after his escape with Kate, Neal couldn’t believe his happiness and felt constant butterflies in his stomach; the following weeks, he loved every line of Kate’s face, her every gesture, every word; as months passed, he thought about all the changes between them, sometimes fondly, sometimes with sadness, and before the end of the year, he started planning heists again, if only to clear his head from their arguments, and he wondered how life could had been if Peter had gotten to the airport sooner.

Re: Neal/Kate -- Butterfly

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That's so intense! Nicely done!!

El/Peter/Neal -- Homecoming

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Warning: Implied Assault


Things were quiet, there was no fanfare, and the homecoming reminded El more of a funeral than a parade, her husband and Neal with tears in their eyes and her in the long-sleeved turtleneck, not wanting them to see the bruises; it'd be a while before the relief set in, before they'd all stop shirking shadows.

Re: El/Peter/Neal -- Homecoming

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
This is good.

Peter/Neal -- Tender, Stone

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
With granite resolve Peter locked the cuffs around Neal's wrists, his fingers tender against very pulse point his lips had kissed countless times as four good years fell away, lost.

Re: Peter/Neal -- Tender, Stone

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my. Chilling, very chilling. But well written.

El - capable

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
She'd regretted it in the past, of course, but with Peter there, and Satchmo, her life had been so full and happy that it had been a distant regret; but now, when she was all alone in the house, picking up his things, putting them away one last time, she couldn't help crying over the fact that she'd never been able to have children.
greyminerva: (Default)

Peter - don't you ever say that again

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Neal was pale-faced and as close to speechless as he ever got when Peter cut him off, impatiently speaking over his stammered apologies; "Don't you ever say that again, Neal - I've always regretted not being able to give El children, and I refuse to call this "accident" anything other than a blessing!", his hand unconsciously stroking El's still-flat stomach again, eyes sparkling with quiet wonder.

Neal/El - opening up

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, when Peter is running late, El will get to work on Neal, opening him up; while she loves seing him take Peter with hardly any prep, sometimes the long, slow stretching is even better - the feeling of his tight, hot hole clenching around her slick fingers, the way his hips grind into the mattress while sweat starts popping up on his skin, pooling in the hollow of his lower back as he moans her name.

Neal - hand, stark, slave, strive

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Kneeling in the stark morning light, Neal can't help striving towards the hand lightly caressing his cheek; he knows he should be staying still, in position, but while he's a submissive through and through, absolute obedience has never been his strength.

Re: Neal - hand, stark, slave, strive

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Love this!

El - bitch, as you were

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
El may not have the same sort of authority that Peter does, but she's very much an alpha bitch and the boys know it well; when the scene is done, they don't relax until she waves them off with a casual "as you were" as she relaxes back into the pillows.

Re: El - bitch, as you were

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Nice!!!

El - need to know, point blank, scott free

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"El, I'm so sorry, but we need to know..." Peter said, as softly and gently as he could; his hands hovered over her, afraid to touch her bruised and filthy skin while the paramedics worked on her; she'd shot the man guarding her point blank, but Keller was still in the wind and there was no way he was walking away scott free from this one.

Neal – He maybe should’ve rubbed one out in the bathroom first

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Neal can't help but think that maybe he should've rubbed on out in the bathroom first; he's so hard it hurts, his cock hard and red and weeping angrily despite the cockring, but as he watches El - safely home with them again - riding Peter hard, he's fairly certain he's not going to get to come tonight.

Re: Neal – He maybe should’ve rubbed one out in the bathroom first

[identity profile] hoosierbitch.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
DAMN, WOMAN! Phew! You are awesome.

Diana - cherry red

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
The fact that Diana's favourite colour is cherry red is a closely guarded secret, because Serious, Ambitions FBI Agents don't run around in colours like that; that's why she can't help but smile when she opens the present from her secret santa to find a beautiful silk scarf in just the right colour - she'd suspected Neal drew her name this year, and this just confirms it.

Re: Diana - cherry red

[identity profile] hoosierbitch.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaw! This is such a lovely little team ficlet. :-)

Neal/El - opening up

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Warnings: Ref. to abuse

While they both love him, right now he needs to leave, needs to leave the two of them alone; because while he's caring and compassionate and has a lot of empathy, this is something between the two of them, something only a fellow survivor can fully understand - El needs to open up, and Neal is dropping his defenses, letting her see that he knows exactly what she's been through.

Alex -- Countermeasures

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mention of PTSD

After she was kidnapped, things changed; she was frightened to go out after dark, she was nervous about anyone who followed too closely, and there were long, sleepless nights as every sound made her jump -- it wasn't until she finally contacted Peter Burke and he got her the help she needed (counseling, self-defense classes) that she started to feel normal, and when she finally got Neal to teach her to handle a gun, she finally began to feel safe again.

Alex, Peter -- Opening Up

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
The little jade statue breaks up the blank canvas of the table; Peter sits quietly across from Alex and regards her with a calm expression while he waits for the hesitant silence to break and for Alex to explain how she got the statue -- but more importantly, how she got the bruises on her wrists and face.

Alex/Elizabeth -- Spark

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
They met by accident at the coffee shop, but by the end of the hour, Elizabeth was already plotting how she could draw Alex to her home, and into her bed.

Peter/Elizabeth/Alex -- Sight

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
The sight of Alex reposing on the bed, with Elizabeth suckling on her pert little breasts and her fingers stroking her clit made Peter weak in the knees, and let his briefcase fall to the floor with a soft thud as both women turned to look at him with hungry gazes.

Re: Peter/Elizabeth/Alex -- Sight

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmmmm, hungry gazes... :D
Hot little thing indeed!

Neal/Peter -- Jump

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
He has taken a huge leap of faith and stepped over the abyss, and while Peter stares blankly at the manifest and the treasure’s image, Neal is desperately waiting for a sign that there is actually a firm land on the other side and not just a lengthy, painful fall.
greyminerva: (Default)

Re: Neal/Peter -- Jump

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
*waits with bated breath*
OMG, this is so intense, and I keep waiting for the story to continue but you just LEFT IT THERE, and now I'll never be able to sleep again, EVER!
Evil writer you.
:D

Neal -- Scott free

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
El is dead, Peter’s dead, Keller’s dead and Neal is just completely sick, because they all offer him sympathy and nobody knows about the treasure, so he could walk away scott free, until one more kind word finally breaks him and he shouts at the FBI office that this is his fault, and when the cuffs finally snap around his wrists, the tiny peaces of steel are the only real and tangible thing he can hold onto when everything else has fallen apart.
greyminerva: (Default)

Re: Neal -- Scott free

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Wonderful. So painful, so plausible - because the only one who can really punish Neal is Neal himself, and for something like this he would feel he deserved it.
*sniffles* Beautifully done.

Elizabeth/Keller - Hard, Hell

[identity profile] sheenianni.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
„Really?“ giggles Elizabeth seductively when Keller moves closer to her, and as his lips hover only an inch from the skin of her neck, she grabs the piece of metal behind her back into her freed hands and hits the bastard hard, and again and again, and then she throws him off her and picks his gun and ignores the red liquid pouring from Keller’s head, because it’s time to get the hell out of here.

Re: Elizabeth/Keller - Hard, Hell

[personal profile] greyminerva 2011-11-13 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! GO EL! That's our girl, and she could TOTALLY do it!
And while she'd probably have a reaction to it afterwards, I think El is practical-minded enough that she'd get over it. :)
