Bonus Round 1: AUs

[referees]

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!

Hinata's eyes narrow. "Listen, I'm not him, so you need to stop staring at me like you've seen a ghost."

Kageyama blushes furiously down at the table. Hinata relates, because he has been furiously texting everyone he knows about this strange tall kid who nearly bowled him over bowing so deep at the waist that Hinata was embarrassed, going on about a murder and a coverup and a vassal, and all Hinata had been trying to do was get bubble tea.

Now, he has both bubble tea and a six-foot stalker named Kageyama who thinks he is from ancient history, and bothers to dress like one, too. With a full samurai sword and everything. Who somehow Hinata believes wholeheartedly. Who doesn't know what to do with a straw.

Of course the only person who responded was Tsukishima.

what's happening now texts Tsukishima.

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH A STRAW

Tsukishima wastes no time. I'm sure you can teach someone how to suck

Hinata feels his face pull into his traditional Tsukishima Expression and he stuffs the phone back in his pocket. He squints at Kageyama some more. Kageyama, who had a hard enough time with air conditioning and money was now beside himself sitting at a tall, white glossy round table across from Hinata, who had ordered him green tea with tapioca pearls, because Hinata couldn't think of anything else to do for this teenager having a crisis.

"You -- you put it in your mouth, like this?" Hinata demonstrates. "And then you suck?"

"You. Suck?"

"With your -- your tongue? You just--" Hinata makes a big show of closing his lips around the straw and hollowing out his cheeks for dramatic effect in a move he knows Tanaka-senpai would've found hilarious, and stops when he sees one of the thick pearls popping up the straw. He sticks his thumb on the top really quick and pulls the straw out. "See? You suck, and then the bubbles go up, and then you chew on them."

Kageyama looks deeply overwhelmed.

"You were dead."

Hinata groans and sets his drink down again.

"You were dead, you are -- you are exactly like -- this is -- I made a -- a deal brought me here to find him and you must be him, that's how this works, that's how -- "

"I am Hinata Shouyou!" he shouts, and jumps to his feet in the little shop. "I play volleyball at Karasuno High School and I'm not very good at it. I have no idea what to do with a sword! I have a little sister and I live on a big mountain in the woods, and you!" -- he points at Kageyama's face -- "You made a bad deal, and now you're stuck, so you might as well drink your tea!"

Kageyama is flabbergasted. Hinata sits down, picks up Kageyama's drink, and shoves it in his face.

"You put the straw in your mouth and suck. THEN! We will try to find your whatever."

Kageyama sits in stunned silence, takes the drink from Hinata's fingers, and closes his mouth around the straw.
