Roundup – Trick or Treat Drabble Meme

For this drabble meme, I’d only really planned on doing my three-sentence ficlets for just five requests, but that never made it past the first prompt. Then requests six, seven, eight and nine arrived… And the fills got progressively longer – but I said to myself, “Elr, keep it to a single comment box.” That became a little difficult as the stories started to flow and epic ideas took root. A few of these are clearly going to be part of longer stories.

theatregirl7299 asked for something in the Underpants ‘verse. She got Private Pleasures

sheenianni asked for Alex/Sara (with or without Neal), and she got Dumped His Ass

kaylashay wanted Peter/Elizabeth/Neal, and received Tastes Like Chocolate

doctor_fangeek wanted a continuation of a slave fic story I’d started at the D.C. Meetup (which I haven’t yet republished). She got Expectations

palombaggia wanted Peter and Neal and anything with wings. This could have been a timestamp for any one of a number of different wing’fic stories, but I decided on a scene out of the Winged Neal ‘verse and so she got A Beautiful Obscenity

sinfulslasher begged for a variety of things, but seemed most interested in how Michael Burke, Peter's alpaca-raising pot-smoking father, celebrates Halloween. She received A Visit with Mozcow

sapphire2309 wanted some Neal/Sara. She got Repo Rides To the Rescue This one is definitely the start of something longer.

miri_thompson and I were chatting about some work issues of mine, and she asked for an AU where Neal was the charming son of the big boss, and Peter had to do his Performance Review (I do know that I got Moz’s real name wrong, it’s “Winters”, not “White”)

And last and certainly the longest. I broke my vow to keep these ficlets to a single comment box, because kanarek13 asked for Peter/Neal, Something Happy. And what could be happier that the boys going shopping for Peter’s Wedding Tuxedo in The Wonder(ful) Years?
