[fic: white collar] We Sleep on Stones

Okay, so this is a thing, which is pretty much all the angst ever. *iz not sure about posting this*

Title: We Sleep on Stones
Characters/Pairing: Neal, Peter; Gen
Genre/Rating: Angst; T
Word count: 1800
Warnings: Spoilers for 4x04; Character death
Notes: The title is from a song by Cherry Ghost. This is unbeta'd, and doesn't really have a point apart from Neal-angst. I did promise it to theoret.
I'm using this for my 'loss of voice' square in hc_bingo.

Summary: Tag to 4x04, 'Parting Shots'. Neal in the aftermath.

( We Sleep on Stones )

the Morrigan sees with another sight, and the Morrigan dreams old dreams of flight

Alan Garner has written a new book! Boneland, which is the sequel/completion to the trilogy of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Moon of Gomrath.

...50 years after the first one was published. XD

Anyway, I pre-ordered it within five minutes of finding out about this. The Moon of Gomrath in particular has been one of my favourite books for as long as I can remember. It has the Wild Hunt! And the Riders! And the Morrigan! (And I am still hideously freaked out by the crawling-through-the-caves section of Brisingamen.)

If the sleeper wakes, the dream dies…
Professor Colin Whisterfield spends his days at Jodrell Bank, using the radio telescope to look for his lost sister in the Pleiades.
At the same time, and in another time, the Watcher cuts the rock and dances, to keep the sky above the earth and the stars flying.
Colin can’t remember; and he remembers too much. Before the age of twelve years and nine months is a blank. After that he recalls everything: where he was, what he was doing, in every minute of every hour of every day.
But Colin will have to remember what happened when he was twelve, if he wants to find his sister. And the Watcher will have to find the Woman. Otherwise the skies will fall, and there will be only winter, wanderers and moon…

SO EXCITED.

you'll never be mine, but you've got my eyes

I am a sheep, and I clearly hadn't signed up for enough bingo cards already :D So here's my new one from cottoncandy_bingo.

Finally	Sound	Milestone	Cuddle	Friends for life
Running out of time	Writing for someone	Earache	Dancing	Game night
Inspiration / Muse	Under the surface	WILD CARD	Fair / Carnival / Festival	Comfort food
Bows / Frills / Lace	Fantasy	Transportation problems	Fabric	Snuggles
Pillows or soft toys	Saving a life	Close	Shelter	Sleepy

Anyone want to prompt me? The only stipulations are that I have to have happy endings. Eventually.

On a related note, I'm currently very impressed with myself for having filled five squares so far on my hc_bingo card in a way that doesn't even start making any pattern whatsoever. This is an achievement, clearly.
