Bonus Round 4: Quotes

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

An oldie but a goodie—in this round, we draw inspiration from famous words said by other people.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
  • Example: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche
  • The quote can come from almost anything—famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, etc.— but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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).

FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, T

[fickle]

Ship: Makishima & Onoda
Fandom: Yowamushi Pedal
Major Tags: tags omitted
Other Tags: tags omitted
Word Count: 444 words

This is not exactly where I planned for this to do but it’s basically just travel and change and loss.

***

1) Every gram of weight is precious when you’re packing for air travel but Makishima packs nine of the Kumotaro keychains that Onoda gave him and attaches the tenth to his backpack.

A baby seated next to him cries on the plane and Makishima, prompted not by any especial love for children but by the desire to make it shut up, passes it the Kumotaro keychain. The baby immediately puts the toy into his mouth and starts chewing.

“Teething,” the frazzled mother explains wearily, bags under her eyes unable to hide her relief at a moment’s blessed respite. “Thank you.”

Makishima nods and turns up volume of his headset up.

2) His roommate is a proud, self-described ‘weeaboo otaku’ and admires the Kumotaro keychain so openly that Makishima gives it to him just to stop him singing the keychain’s praises.

3) He attaches one keychain to the handlebars of his bike but during the final climbing sprint of a race, tears it off and discards it along with his water bottle, his seat and his handlebars. He did learn something from that last Interhigh, after all.

4) He clicks his roomkey onto the keychain and then loses it. He has to pay the university ten pounds to be let back into his room and get a replacement key.

5) Toudou visits and demands that Makishima give him a Kumotaro keychain so they can match. Makishima did not expect it to be Toudou’s style but hands it over all the same.

6) During a blackjack game being played in math class to teach them about probability, Makishima wagers the keychain along with his favorite pen and every chip he has on the table. He spends the rest of the class trying unsuccessfully to win it back.

7) As a prank, a classmate borrows his keychain without asking and puts it on the seat of a female classmate. She screams when she sees it and hurls it through a window.

8) Winter comes and Makishima is not prepared. He leaves his backpack too close to the heater and one of Kumotaro’s legs melt.

9) A girl in one of his classes shyly asks if she can buy the keychain off him to use for an art installation. Apparently it’s exactly what she needs to convey the cannibalization of commercial concepts. He has no idea what she means but gives it to her for free in exchange for the promise she’ll e-mail Onodo a photo of the finished art piece.

10) Makishima clips it to his backpack for the flight back to Japan. When he gets home, he gives it to Onoda and asks for ten more.

oh no.... damien, this made me feel such a thing. makishima's relationship with onoda is so important, and I love that he's, hmm. generous is a strange term to apply to maki but he's trying in his own way, no matter how motivated by wanting to separate himself socially, and it's so lovely, the way the delicate thread of onoda's warmth and friendly eagerness just warms its way into maki's life and connects him to other people despite himself. I've always loved that about their eccentric senpai-kouhai relationship, how onoda was the one to maki a little less of a cynic, lets maki hope just a little bit.

I just love climber fam a lot and this was such a nice thing to read ;;w;;
