Fic recognition meme!

[aragarna]

Hmmm, not sure I should do this, but I don't seem able to resist memes... So... here we go!

From my Masterlist, find a fic and choose a passage.

Then, post your passage in the comments below, and I will try to guess which fic it's from. If I get it correct, I'll share some information about the story - backstory, character motivation, possible future story ideas or cookies, etc. If I get it wrong, you'll give me a brief prompt  and character(s) for a brief ficlet.

Cold.

He was so cold.

His leg didn’t even hurt anymore. Actually he couldn’t feel it at all. He couldn’t feel his hands either. They were so numbed by the cold, he could barely move them. His body was shaken by spasms of shivers. He had to clench his jaws very hard to prevent them from chattering.

Hell and High Water! :-)

“Shh. Calm down, Neal. Stop talking. Paramedics are on their way,” he murmured as he delicately moved a lock of hair from Neal’s sweaty forehead.

“Peter?”

“Yes, Neal.”

“Can you please stop playing with my hair?”

Peter quickly retrieved his hand. “Sorry buddy. I – I thought you liked it…”

“Actually not that much...”

“Cause you’re all grown-up,” Peter smirked.

“Yes I am. I’m… How old am I? My timeline is a bit fuzzy…”

“Shh, Neal please, spare your forces.”

“Paranoia is the secret to longevity, my friend.”

Peter smirked. “Right, I’ll have this engraved on my Rai stone.”

Mozzie stared at Peter, not sure if he should be offended or pleased. Finally, he simply shrugged.

“Did you tell them who I am?”
“Yes, Neal, I did.”
“What did you say?”
“Who do you think you are?”
Neal remained silent and looked down. Something was obviously bothering him. Peter was driving Neal home after their last day of work before the holidays. No emergency had come up, so they both had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. Peter had asked Neal if it was okay with his friend if they’d come and pick him up at 9 the day after tomorrow. And suddenly, Neal had seemed anxious.
“I’m a convicted felon,” he whispered.
As they reached June’s house, Peter stopped the car, and turned to face Neal.
“Is that how you define yourself, a convicted felon?”

Oh the Christmas story!
Let's Shake Some Snow. :-)

*smiches Neal*

What he sees through the glass is shattering his soul. Anonymous hospital personal in blue scrubs are cutting Neal open. Sticking things in his body. He can hear the monitor alarms beeping. They shock him, and Peter jumps as the electrical impulse shakes Neal’s heart. It’s unbearable, but he can’t look away. He has to be there, to hold that invisible thread of life connecting Neal to him.

Oh by the way, I was supposed to talk some backstory. I'm kind of teasing fanfic writers and the "fanfic" clichés that we find in a lot of fics. I thought it would be fun to make a parody with the characters aware of what's happening to them.

So, some backstory on this? Well, it was mainly my way to process the S4 finale, and at the time I just couldn't handle the idea of Peter going to prison. So, I tried to find a solution, and I liked the idea of Mozzie saving the day.
It's funny retrospectively that I was exploring Peter's feelings about being freed by a criminal...

By the way, want some commentary on that story?
I already talked a bit about it in the previous meme. I got the idea that Jonesy was Peter's grandfather and that Peter inherited his sense of justice and protectiveness. And I thought a Christmas day was the perfect moment for Neal to discover about it. I also like the parallel Samson-Jonesy Peter-Neal.

and some backstory on that one:
It started with the idea of role reversal. Peter is usually the one saving Neal, protecting his own. So what if Peter's in danger, what if Neal has to face the possibility that Peter might die. How would he react, how would he feel...
It started with 2 images. Neal refusing to let Peter go, and getting desperate, and then the image of the ambulance leaving with Neal being all alone, and this time there couldn't be Peter by his side, because Peter was in the ambulance.
Then I thought about the ER episode, and I tried to morph the 2 ideas.
