You resisted a shark mauling?!?!

That's amazing, though! Neal looks so COLD! *fangirls you so much*

LOL, I know, Sherylyn couldn't believe it either, LOL :D But let's face it, the only teeth that are allowed to have a go at Neal's gorgeous body belong to Peter and Peter's currently not really in the mood, as you can see :D

Also, with all that blood oozing from Neal's wound(s), that scene ain't gonna be shark-less for long :P But I believe Peter is a great swimmer, he'll get them to safety :P

Oh, I have 100% faith in Peter, he'll get them to safety, he's a boy scout :P

yikes poor Neal looks so still and gash on Peter's head. Hope the guys are rescued may be Mozzie has haked into the control tower freq.

Hee, I'm sure that once Moz found out the plane went down, he immediately contacted Junior Suits and they went to look for the survivors together :D

I agree with China — somehow, Neal looks so cold!!! Good news is that I'm quite sure they weren't there long, and then they were taken home and tucked into bed together with lots of soft blankets and hot chocolate.

Yup. Fixed it ;-)

Well, what's a plane crash without hypothermia? Especially in water, lol :D

You skipped all the best parts like Peter making a fire and then cuddling poor Neal to get him warm, he'd have to hold him soooooo close for soooo long :P :P :P

sherylyn on March 17th, 2016 06:01 pm (UTC)

LOL Well, there's that, too, of course! But yes... Warmth and cuddling need to happen STAT ;-)

I have this image in my head - beach, fire and Peter spooning with Neal, holding him close for body warmth... and Neal laughs weakly and tells Peter that he'd often wondered what it would be like to be held in Peter's arms and that he'd always thought the circumstances would have been a lot nicer :P

Hee! I love that!! And someone needs to write it ASAP!!!

Yes, both of them finally admitting their feelings for each other but poor Neal is barely holding on between the cold and the injuries and Peter is our of his mind with worry that he's gonna lose Neal, awww

Angst galore :P

But mandatory happy ending :D :D :D

Oh, they look so lost! Poor Neal, he must be so cold and is that blood in th water from him? Oh boy!! And Peter's cut on the head too! But I'm sure they'll be rescued! *hugs them and offer lots of hot chocolate*

Wonderful art! :D

Aww, thank you :D

Yeah, a plane crash is not a swim in a pool :P And Peter's doing a lot better than poor Neal. It is definitely blood which only adds to the hypothermia. What can I say - I went angst all the way :D

Thank you :D Yeah, poor boys... but it's a prelude to sooooo much cuddling for warmth... and Peter's gonna be sooo worried :P

Hell, if they're in the East River and Neal's got open wounds, we've got all sorts of infections on the horizon!

kanarek13 on March 17th, 2016 08:31 pm (UTC)

Heee... Ang may be working on that angle in the form of a sequel to her ficlet where she dumped poor Neal in the Hudson :P Close enough and equally infection-prone :D

Heee, I've been sort of rewatching random eps because one of our channels is showing Season 1 and the repeats are at insane hours like 2am... so for the past week I've been leaving the TV on and watching the fun until sleep gets the better of me, hee :D

elrhiarhodan on March 17th, 2016 09:05 pm (UTC)

Awwww.

I've done with S1 of the Flash the same as what I did for S1 of WC. Bought another set - this time, the regular DVDs. Because I can't rip the blu-rays and I need screencaps.

But it was cheap.

kanarek13 on March 17th, 2016 09:23 pm (UTC)

Awww, yeah, BDs are more problematic... heee, I also own s1 WC both on blu and dvd... and itunes... fangirling days :P

Awww, this is terrific. Poor Neal, but at least Peter is there to take care of him.

kanarek13 on March 18th, 2016 12:07 pm (UTC)

Aww, thank you :D Yes, I imagine despite the whole situation, Neal actually feels pretty safe with Peter by his side supporting him and working on getting them to shore :D

eeeeee, this is WONDERFUL! ♥ Poor stranded babies! As always, you've done an amazing job with it -- it's so real and convincing! (You've even got island!Neal's scruff. XD) Of COURSE art is okay, art is always okay, and your art is always so gorgeous. Thank you so much for filling my prompt! ♥

Eeeee, I'm so happy \o/ When you said in your prompt that you'd be fine with just the boys clinging to an airplane wing, I just had to make that happen, hee :D I just know Peter will put all of his bay scout skills to work to get them home :D
