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).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

They’re really fucking freaks now. Well, Aomine’s a fucking freak, broken through a door, smashed a barrier, and ended up all alone in what seems like the other side of the ocean from everyone else (most Tetsu, Satsuki, and Kise; they’re the ones that matter like that). It’s like he doesn’t know how to live in a world with normal people, coexist with anything other than his own mind. Maybe in some past life he’d been the same kind of monster, through sport or no; maybe that’s why he falls into it or no, resisting all he can but the walls of the chute are too smooth, made so by all the past lives he’s slid down into this.

Murasakibara joins him on the roof now sometimes; he’s made breakthroughs of his own, done shit he thinks he shouldn’t, the way Akashi’s eyes are all weird and the way Midorima looks at him as if to ask him to take it all back. Murasakibara’s always had burdens he doesn’t want to carry, early physical development and the expectations that come with that, being mistaken for older than he is and being told what he should be, accused of lying because how is a guy like that in middle school? He shrugs off as much of the weight as he can\, but the faster he runs the more these weights slow him down.

They don’t talk about it at all when it’s the two of them, just lying and looking at the sky, Aomine glancing over to see Murasakibara’s forearms, the sleeves of that blue uniform shirt rolled up, their ridiculous definition, the hands they end in, large enough to grip just about anything, wrist to fingertip maybe close to the diameter of a basketball hoop. But why’s he thinking about basketball again?

Murasakibara’s kiss is soft, demanding; it’s not tentative or naive, but Aomine hadn’t been expecting those things. He might not have been surprised, but he’s finding out more and more that the general perception on Murasakibara isn’t quite the same as the way he is, the way he hides behind snacks and nonsense phrases. Aomine can taste the sugar on his tongue, the strawberry pocky or the chocolate or the popsicle he offers to split with Aomine because eh doesn’t want to melt. It turns their lips and tongues purple until they kiss it off each other. They’re both monsters now, though maybe they already were; at least they have each other.
