Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. There's a lot of text here, but if you read carefully and follow the instructions step by step, you will be okay.
RULES
Please refer to the first comment thread of this post for an example of how this round works.PROMPTING
- Select a ship to create your prompt card about. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Haruki & Kazuma). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Haruki/Kazuma). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Visit this card generator.
- Here is a visual guide to using it.
- The large text box is where you can list prompts if you have your own ideas. Please list at least 9 prompts; you can list more if you want. (The generator says you need at least 24, but it's lying.) Single words or short phrases are better than sentences.
- Otherwise, you can use the dropdown menu found right below it. Note: some of these prompts lists are NSFW. (NSFW prompts are a-ok as long as you tag for it.) If you don't like some of the options that appear in a prompt list, you can delete them.
- Text prompts only, please. Also, each card square must be unique—don't list the same prompt 9 times.
- In "Configuration Options," make sure you select 3x3 and (Normal prompt). This is the most important step!
- Leave the tic-tac-toe card with its default colors, so everyone can read it clearly.
- Click the "Create a bingo card" button.
- Scroll down to see the card that was created for you. If you don't like the prompts it picked, you can reroll by clicking "Create a bingo card" again.
- When you're satisfied, scroll further down the page until you see a textarea box full of HTML.
- Copy and paste the HTML from the box and into the body of your prompt comment, then post!
FILLING
Fill prompts by selecting an individual square to create fanwork for, then leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. (Optional:) If you can fill three squares from a prompt in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, you get a tic-tac-toe (and an additional point bonus)! You can also just fill prompts as you please and get standard points.
- Prompt squares are labeled as follows:
A1 B1 C1 A2 B2 C2 A3 B3 C3 - If you're trying for tic-tac-toe, you cannot combine squares into one fill. If your fill can satisfy multiple squares, pick the most relevant square: e.g., one square is sailing and another is pirates and you make a fill about pirates sailing, it's mostly pirates so put down the pirates square.
- Each fill must stand alone as an individual piece, but all your fills can slot into a larger universe if you'd like.
- You cannot fill a prompt square more than once, but you can fill every square on a tic tac toe card if you want to.
- You cannot work with your teammates to get a tic-tac-toe. Only individually achieved tic-tac-toes get the bonus.
- Multiple people can fill the same prompt square. You cannot "block" others from getting tic-tac-toe.
- Remember to also follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
- Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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

Kuroo woke up far too early for a Sunday to the pulse of an excellent bass line. The clock informed him that it was nine thirteen am. That was just wrong. Most days he had to be out of bed and coherent before eight. He’d been hoping to sleep in until ten or eleven at least. But if he had no choice but to be awake, he supposed that ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ was a pretty good morning jam.
Kuroo loved almost everything about his new apartment. It was close enough to campus to walk to class, reasonably priced, and had lots of natural light. From the people that he’d met so far there seemed to be a decent mix of older students and young professionals in the building.
He figured his downstairs neighbor must be a student like him given that they always seemed to be home around the same times as he was. Kuroo had a love-hate relationship with the mysterious neighbor. Well, specifically said neighbor’s music.
It was good music. Kuroo imagined there were very few people who liked the same mixture of upbeat punk, indulgent pop, American rock of all types, dance music, and older folk music, that Kuroo himself favored. The Jimmy Buffet had been a pretty big surprise. The problem was never the playlists, it was that there were usually played at what anyone would consider to be excessive volume - thumping up through the floor like the world’s best dance club. Every time he told himself that he should go down and say something and every time he talked himself out of it. ‘Maybe it’s not so bad.
He made it to the middle of finals week before he snapped. He liked ONE OK ROCK as much as anyone but his vision kept blurring over the long lists of scientific terms he needed to memorize and he’d had enough coffee to be vibrating out of his chair. The next song must be one of neighbor-san’s favorites because when it started the volume increased a few impossible notches.
That was it, he couldn’t take another study night headache. He marched down the hall and stomped down the steps, banging on the door of 2B with a thunderous expression. Kuroo noticed several things simultaneously about the guy who opened the door. He had ridiculous hair and beautiful golden brown eyes, a muscle tee that revealed arms and shoulders that ought to be illegal, and the brightest grin Kuroo had ever seen. He felt his own frown clearing immediately.
“Hi! You must be Kuroo-san.”
“Um, yeah. I am. How did you know that?”
Neighbor-san’s smile turned sheepish and crap, it was adorable. “ I saw you a couple of times and asked around. I’m Bokuto.”
Kuroo took the offered hand react visibly to the strength of his grip.
“The music’s too loud, huh? I’m sorry, I always think to myself I should turn it down and then I get sidetracked.”
It was true that Kuroo had stormed down here specifically to bitch about the volume of Bokuto’s music but suddenly it was the last thing he wanted to do.
“It is a little loud, but come on, who could listen to this song quietly?”
Bokuto lit up like the sun and oh man, Kuroo was so screwed.
“Right?! Hey, I’ve got coffee and tea and stuff. Do you want to come in and hang out?”
Did he ever, it was probably a good time for a break anyway. He followed Bokuto into the familiar layout of his living room and mentally added a pair of noise cancelling headphones to his Amazon shopping list.

On to number 2!
***
It started innocently enough. Bokuto was going out of town for a week and he asked Kuroo to water his plants a few times while he was gone. He handed over a spare key on a cute owl key chain with a big grin and a friendly thump to Kuroo’s shoulder.
They were best bros now, despite the volume of Bokuto’s music - which made Kuroo regularly and vociferously express his concern for Bokuto’s hearing - they hung out several times a week and talked just about every day. Bokuto was endlessly enthusiastic and incredibly easy to spend time with. They clicked immediately and their friendship had improved Kuroo’s life immensely.
He had the keys to Bokuto’s place… he had to fuck with him, right?! ‘Sure,’ a traitorous voice in his head whispered. ‘Fuck with him. Riiiight.’
Of course he watered the plants as he had promised. He also drew a little face, bandanna and gun on a questionable carton of milk so it looked like it was holding you at gunpoint instead of throwing it away. It was going bad, after all. He was hilarious, Bokuto was sure to agree. He might also have rigged a box of packing peanuts above the bathroom door. Whoever played just one prank at a time, that would be weird.
Bokuto came back from vacation and though Kuroo was waiting for his reaction, given Bokuto’s habits he expected an immediate text, he never mentioned it. Kuroo remained mystified until he had an academic conference in Kyoto over a long weekend and came back to find every item in his fridge had been individually plastic wrapped. Kuroo unwrapped a bottle of water and grinned. Ah, so it was going to be like that, was it.
They had keys to each other’s places so it wasn’t exactly like they were breaking in to prank each other but about once every week or two they would take turns setting up some harmless prank. Ok, Kuroo wouldn’t have called the time Bokuto replaced his orange juice with god only knows how many Kraft dinner cheese powder packets mixed with water harmless exactly. He must have spit that crap halfway across the kitchen. But he got Bokuto back pretty good for that one by Ziplock bagging Bokuto’s TV remote, fitness tracker, and mp3 player and setting them in a variety of Jello flavors.
Kuroo had come downstairs to witness that discovery in person. Bokuto shouted with ill-disguised glee when he discovered each one while Kuroo laughed helplessly.
“Dude! That was a GOOD one,” Bokuto enthused, his hands full of Jelloed devices. “I’m going to have to think hard about something to top that!”
Blame it on the high of a successful prank or the sparkle in Bokuto’s eyes or maybe the fact that he’d been head over heels since basically the day they met but Kuroo couldn’t stop himself from leaning forward to kiss Bokuto if he’d had the presence of mind to try.
It was pretty tame as far as kisses go, more of a warm, affectionate press of lips. Kuroo pulled back gently, hoping to see the lightness he felt reflected in Bokuto’s smile. The vulnerable, crestfallen look on his friend’s face knocked Kuroo back a step.
“I know we’ve been messing with each other but that… that isn’t funny, Tetsu.”
He hoped Bokuto could hear the sincerity in his voice, “I wasn’t kidding, Koutarou. I’m crazy about you.”
It took a breathless moment for the switch to flip and happiness rise in Bokuto’s eyes but a second later Kuroo found himself locked in what had to be the world’s best hug.
“I’m happy, Tetsu,” Bokuto said, voice slightly muffled from pressing his face into Kuroo’s neck.
“Me too, Kou,” he answered, wrapping an arm around those strong shoulders.
“Don’t think this is going to stop me from lubing up all of your door handles or whatever.” He could feel Bokuto’s grin against his skin.
Kuroo couldn’t help but laugh, “I would expect nothing less.”

Kuroo was very glad that he and Bokuto started dating by the time the crisp autumn weather edged into actual winter frost. The insulation on the side of the building where their bedrooms happened to be wasn’t the best but Bokuto naturally exuded heat like the best, cuddliest space heater ever.
It was the most natural thing for Bokuto to take the place of one of Kuroo’s mound of pillows. Though it did make it significantly harder to get up for early morning classes. This morning he was loath to move because they were still recovering from yesterday’s date.
Bokuto had been hell bent on making the most of their ‘magical winter romance’ with seasonal activities and for some reason Kuroo let himself be convinced to go snowboarding. Damn his boyfriend’s stupid beautiful, sparkly eyes. The only part of it that came naturally to either of them was the falling down and collecting spectacular bruises part. Most of his muscles still ached, he pressed himself along the strong line of Bokuto’s back, snuggling him close like the cutest hot water bottle.
They’d tried ice skating too and managed that with fewer bruises, though with Bokuto’s general level of enthused flailing they took way more innocent civilians with them when they went down.
The next time date night rolled around Kuroo was prepared. He had piled his softest blankets and all of the extra pillows on the couch and dimmed the lights so you could see the softly falling snow outside. Bokuto raised an eyebrow when he came in and surveyed the scene but Kuroo held his ground.
“It’s fricking cold outside, Bo. I have hot chocolate, tea, and coffee of course. But I recommend the hot chocolate because I made it from scratch and it has marshmallows and it’s awesome.”
That got him one of those warm, glowing smiles. “You made marshmallows?”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Kuroo scoffed. “Who makes marshmallows?!” Well, somebody did but it sure as hell wasn’t Kuroo. He was a skilled scientist but candy making just baffled him. “Anyway, I have a selection of winter themed entertainment for your viewing pleasure. We have selections from the last Winter Olympics, some ice hockey playoffs, that amazing ice skating anime. Lots of choices.”
He had just enough time to cue up a hockey game and grab their mugs from the kitchen before Bokuto swept him off to the couch where they twined themselves together into a warm tangle under the blankets. They only made it about halfway through the hot chocolate before Kuroo licked some marshmallow off of Bokuto’s lip and they got distracted making out. It was fine, he could always reheat it later. Winter was the best.
