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:

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 for each tic-tac-toe card (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
Tic-tac-toe Bonus: 2 points each for the first 12 achieved by your team
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!

***
Hanamaki yawns for the seventeenth time that hour, head leaning back until he bumps against the wall he’s slumped against. His eyes are barely open.
Issei drops his hands from the fence. It makes a small twanging sound as his fingers catch against a hole. They’re on the school roof, having broken in late last night when all the students and faculty has left. They even managed to sneak their sleeping bags and hoard of convenience store foods—onigiri, hi-chews, multiple pocky boxes, a few bottles of fruit-flavoured black teas, that seaweed flavoured chips Hanamaki likes so much—with them. It was Hanamaki’s idea, initially, to go with a bang, but Issei is the one that actually stole the key. He just has a trustworthy face, he supposes. They’d invited Iwaizumi and Oikawa, too, but their friends both said they were busy, while suspiciously refusing to make eye contact with each other. Issei understands; somehow, he is glad this moment is something shared between Hanamaki and him, just the two of them and no one else.
He turns to look at the other boy on the roof. Spring is here, but it’s chilly this high up and this late—or early? Hanamaki is bundled up in three layers, legs still in his sleeping bag. Issei’s hat is jammed on his head, until only a few messy strands of his pale hair sticks out. He looks warm, and Issei feels so incredibly fond.
“Makki,” he says quietly. “Congratulations on your graduation.”
Hanamaki peeks up at him. His eyes are almost translucent in the barely-there light coming up behind Issei. “Back at ya,” he returns, just as quietly. He nods towards the fence. “Sun’s coming up.”
Issei turns back around, and finds that Hanamaki is right. The first rays of sunlight just kisses the horizon, stretching up slowly, almost lazily. The sky is a mess of pastel hues, blushing pink and orange and gradually chasing away the streaks of midnight blue and royal purple. It’s nothing short of breathtaking.
The sunrise takes barely minutes, and then the weariness of staying up all night and the thrill of pulling such a stunt in the wee hours of their graduation ceremony catches up to him. Issei yawns, head thrown back. Behind him, he hears Hanamaki echo his yawn.
“You’re contagious,” Hanamaki accuses when he goes over to sit beside him.
“You started it,” Issei says, “you serial yawn-er.”
“Can’t believe you got higher marks than me in Japanese.”
“We’re all smarter on paper.”
Hanamaki lifts the blanket he’s huddled under, and Issei shifts closer until they’re pressed flush against each other. He pulls his hood up, sticks his hand into Hanamaki’s pocket. Hanamaki tilts his head until he’s leaning on Issei’s shoulder, and Issei, in turn, rests his head on top of his friend’s.
As the sun rises steadily, beaming down warmly and painting gold across the roof of building B, the two of them sleeps, breathing in with the knowledge that when they wake, they’ll be just fine.
