Bonus Round 1: AUs
SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).
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.

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.Required Work Minimums:
- 400 words (prose)
- 400px by 400px (art)

|
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

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!

The taste of chlorine stings Sousuke’s lungs as he kisses Haru. It’s not quite right. Haru should taste of the ocean, some romantic part of him insists, but Haru tastes-smells of chlorine and his arms are wet and pliable under Sousuke’s hands.
When Sousuke pushes him against the wall, Haru doesn’t resist. He tilts his head up and goes with it, the way he lets the waves carry him in the ocean - and then he kisses back, sharp and incisive, the way his arms move through water.
Sousuke could drown in Haru’s kisses, in the press of his lean body against Sousuke’s, in the possessive way that Haru grabs his hair and yanks Sousuke’s head forward like the kiss still isn’t enough.
It’s the only time that Haru makes sense to him. It’s the only time he doesn’t think of Rin.
Sousuke brackets Haru with his arms, taking a secret pleasure out of being able to pin Haru with his weight alone, and grinds forward against him.
Haru freezes and panicked, Sousuke pulls back, wondering if that was too much.
“I’m--” he starts to say, apology already on his lips.
“Someone’s coming,” Haru says and slips back into his own shower cubicle.
*
The taste of chlorine is easy to wash out of his mouth, just as easy as it is to wash away all traces of Sousuke’s saliva. Haru rinses and spits, pushing dripping wet hair away from his face and watching Sousuke in the mirror. Sousuke’s getting dressed, laughing and talking with the others.
They both know better than to leave marks when they strip down to swimwear so often; there’s not a single lovebite, a single bruise, to mark where Haru’s been. If Sousuke is easy to erase from Haru’s life, Haru is just as easy to erase.
Rin proved that when he left. He hasn’t written to Haru in the longest time and whenever Haru picks up a pen to write to Rin, he never makes it more than a few lines.
He hasn’t told Rin about Sousuke yet. He doesn’t think he’s going to.
“Want to walk home with me, Haru?” Makoto asks gently, jolting Haru out of his thoughts. Haru shakes his head numbly. “No. I’m going to get something to eat first.”
“Just as long as it’s not more mackerel,” Makoto teases.
“No,” Haru says, and steals another look at the tempting mass of hard, lean muscle that is Sousuke. “Red meat this time.”

I WHOOPED ALOUD! GOOD GOD DAMN! I SAY!! ... Haru does need the protein.
I love this, this is really, really great.
Re: FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, T
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for making so many awesome prompts, I didn't realize until the comments started pouring in how many of them were made by you. I really appreciate the feedback, it warms my black little stuff to know the fills were liked.
