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.

Mental & emotional manipulation, unhealthy relationships, abuse of power, dubcon/noncon. You can basically call this “the one where Akashi reverts and gets everyone to blow him”. Future fic.
***
Akashi sees Kise everywhere - billboards, magazines, even once on TV strutting down the runway for Victoria’s Secret’s.
He doesn’t meet Kise until his company hires Kise for some ads that Akashi just happens to drop in to oversee.
“Akashicchi!” Kise calls out happily, waving from where he’s having powder applied to his face. “Long time no see!”
“Ryouta,” Akashi says politely, strolling over to smile down at his former teammate. “You’re looking well. I’d hate to disrupt the shoot but perhaps we can talk later?”
*
Kise blows him in Akashi’s car while the driver sits in the front with the privacy partition up and pretends he doesn’t know exactly what’s going on. Afterwards, Kise wipes the powder off Akashi’s trousers with a wet towel and Akashi lets him out of the car without telling him he still has a little come on the corner of his mouth.
*
Midorima disappears from public view. He has a good job as a surgeon and a balanced, steady life.
Akashi waits until Midorima puts down a deposit on a house before he takes over the hospital that Midorima works for and starts collecting details on every black mark that the staff have against them, no matter how small. The layoffs aren’t random but they are brutal.
He sends for Midorima personally and when Midorima sees him seated at a desk instead of a head of HR, there’s a moment that Midorima actually looks hopeful.
“Shintaro,” Akashi says with a casual little gesture. “Close the door and we’ll discuss how to save you from being blackballed by every hospital in the country.”
*
Midorima’s glasses scrape against the inside of Akashi’s thighs so Akashi pulls them off. Without the focusing power of the glass, Midorima’s glare loses some of its intensity. Akashi thumbs the corners of Midorima’s mouth, reminds him that he’s never won a game of shogi against Akashi and says that he should fire Midorima if he can’t do any better.
In the end, Midorima gets to keep his job subject to further approval.
*
Akashi sees Aomine in the sports sections, sometimes in the news. FAMOUS BASKETBALL POWER FORWARD is the usual description attached to him though every now and then, it turns into JAPANESE STAR PLAYER whenever the papers feel like reminding everyone Aomine is a foreign export.
He meets Akashi when one of his clients takes him to a match and then, bragging about backstage access, takes Akashi to the locker room to get the team’s signatures. Everyone’s convivial and overly-friendly in the way of Americans except Aomine. He strips as if Akashi isn’t there, ignores him in a way that’s so blatantly rude that even some of his teammates complain.
“You used to play basketball too, didn’t you, Akashi-san?” His client says.
Akashi smiles modestly, “Only in school.”
“Maybe you could play one of us some day!” One of Aomine’s teammates laughs, slapping Akashi on the back far too hard.
“Maybe,” Akashi says as his gaze finds Aomine’s. “But I’m sure that would be no challenge.”
*
It’s always been easy to get Aomine on his knees. That hasn’t changed now that he’s grown up. Akashi lets Aomine suck him just to the point of coming, then fucks him over the bench, face pressed into his own jersey. Once Akashi’s done, Aomine won’t look at him.
*
Murasakibara’s a famous food critic, instantly recognizable and always treated to the best tables in the restaurant. He travels the globe, tasting and complaining and occasionally, very occasionally, praising.
All Akashi has to do to see him is invite him over for a meal.
Murasakibara has always known the cost of Akashi’s favor.
*
He doesn’t forget about Kuroko. He never sees Kuroko again.
