sportsanime | Bonus Round 1: AUs

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

This popular round is back once again! To begin this year's SASO, we encourage you to let your mind run wild with alternate ideas and settings.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with an alternate universe idea, along with a ship from one of our nominated fandoms. There's a comment template below for your convenience.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Izumi & Sakaeguchi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Izumi/Sakaeguchi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
An AU can be a canon divergence, e.g. "what if [character] was the Team Captain instead of the canon captain character?", or a completely different setting altogether, e.g., pop idol AU, coffee shop AU, superheroes AU, etc.
Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:

400 words (prose)

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Of all the places in the world to be trapped in, Radiator Springs is the worst in the world. It's brown, and dusty, and hot, and it's nothing like the glamour of the nicer raceways Nishinoya's run so far. It grinds his gears to know that he's stuck here, of his own accord, mostly because he did tear up the interstate, but only because there still is no way that the Lightning himself would be contained by some strips of asphalt.

Of course, Nissan's newest Angel-model race car was going to be more than just any old vehicle. He was primed and ready to win the Piston Cup (something that the denizens of this run-down town hadn't ever even heard of), and he was a top contender for the grand prize.

He daydreams about it as he works, fiddling with the radio to find a song he's actually heard of, when he sees another car coming down the other side of the road.

Time stops. The radio suddenly is less weird-sounding, and Nishinoya thinks he might be seeing an extra light, an ambient glow wreathing the car. His engines were warm in a different way now, and there was something about that broad grille and the long, curved fins of that car's body just made his serpentine belt stutter.

"Holy Porsche," Nishinoya whispers, all thought of work forgotten. The car looks like he'll just roll on by, but Nishinoya wasn't called "Lightning" for nothing.

He honks, in a friendly way, and scoots up fast in the next lane to the other car. It's tight going, but he does his best not to scrape against the careful paint job as he honks again, grinning.

"Hey!"

The other car looks back at him, surprised, and hesitantly says, "hello."

Oh, sweet Ferrari. The voice was a warm purr, like a fine, hand-tuned engine rumble. If they weren't engineered to not do just that, Nishinoya's wheel axles would wobble.

He'd like to hear more of it. Nishinoya keeps smiling, hoping that his own paint job is suddenly up to scratch, and continues in his best just-trying-to-chat voice, "What kinda model are you?"

Yes, Nishinoya is definitely not imagining that delicious, powerful bass of his engine when he hears the small reply, "asahi."

"Wow, Asahi," Nishinoya repeats. "I've never heard that before. That's awesome." He zips ahead a bit, dabs at the handbrake and performs a little j-turn, just for show. Asahi's eyes are wide and fascinated, and Nishinoya loves how warm the lamps look in them. "I'm Nishinoya."

"nice to meet you," Asahi says, and Nishinoya drives back next to Asahi, settling down for a smooth, slow drive.

"You know," he says cheerfully, "I know this great tree we can both park under."

I'M PISSING OMG THIS ....THISSSSS???!!!! I didn't know someone cld write sentient cars being attracted to another sentient car so well.

Tbh I wks also have accepted 'honks seductively' and 'honks back shyly' for four hundred words as well but this is so much better

Edit: I just read your note about asahi being an actual defunct Japanese car brand??? That's super cool! He's also a beer so I guess asahi is many things. Also noyassan as a Nissan is so brilliant!!!
