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).

Warnings for blood (so much blood), a little sexual content, dubcon. If you’re lonely, fix it.

***


Crimson fluid leaked from Hanamiya’s lips, blood so corrupted that Imayoshi knew he had been right to name him the Bad Boy even before the vile taste of the liquid hit his tongue. It tasted of overripe fruit, the sweetness that had turned rotten, and Imayoshi would have spat it out if Hanamiya’s lips hadn’t still been so closely pressed to his own that Imayoshi could do nothing but tear at Hanamiya’s mouth futilely with his teeth.

Hanamiya’s mouth moved against his, sharp teeth pricking against Imayoshi’s lips and then sinking in so deeply that Imayoshi could not help but gasp at the pain of it. Blood trickled down down Imayoshi’s throat, thick and choking, more akin to curdled cream than any blood that Imayoshi knew the feel of. Disgust made him choke, throat closing to try to keep Hanamiya’s blood from invading him any further, but the fluid slid down Imayoshi’s throat and where it passed, Imayoshi felt infected. It was corruption eating at him from the inside, it was a darkness that tainted him and radiated black tendrils through his tender flesh. From inside him, it rose to press against his skin and outside him, Hanamiya’s hands smoothed over his skin, calling his own corruption to the surface.

From inside and out, Hanamiya defiled Imayoshi and it was still only a taste of what would come.

Fang-sharp claws raked down Imayoshi’s body, scraping shallow lines over the skin and Hanamiya took his mouth away from Imayoshi’s so he could enjoy the harsh, hurt breaths that hissed past Imayoshi’s lips. Hanamiya’s eyes were dark and hungry as he looked down at Imayoshi, his lips dripping scarlet blood in oil-slick trickles over his chin. Where the drops of blood struck Imayoshi’s chest, they burnt hot-cold, Imayoshi unable to tell if it was heat or ice that seared into him and reading it only as intensity.

“Makoto-chan, you are deluding yourself if you think that this will give you the upper hand,” Imayoshi told Hanamiya, summoning all the condescension he could muster.

“Am I?” Hanamiya’s lips curved into a smug smile and he leant down, trailing his mouth over Imayoshi’s throat so he could enjoy how the quick heartbeats turned erratic and quicker still. He bent a little further, mouth finding one of Imayoshi’s nipples and painted it with his own red blood. Imayoshi’s shoulderblades thumped down against the metal table as he sought to escape the sensation of Hanamiya’s blood prickling against his skin (through his skin) an acid-burn that devoured him even though it left his flesh untouched.

The darkness in Hanamiya found its match in Imayoshi; together, they combined into something new and vile.

(And neither was ever lonely again.)

asdlkjlk; I get really excited whenever I realize your fills are (might be?) connected! This one I'm hoping is related to the blood selling/ werewolf!Hanamiya one! I'm even more curious what Imayoshi is now.

The description of corrupted blood invading Imayoshi is so consuming, and the pairing with external ravaging felt like a sensory overload as a reader, so I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like for Imayoshi.

The last two paragraphs feel stark in comparison to the rest, a sharp reminder that Imayoshi is not necessarily a victim in this situation, and that there are benefits to this twisted bloodsharing.

Thanks for sharing!
