Bonus Round 7: Free For All

[referees]

Let's finish SASO 2017 with a bang. This bonus bonus round allows any kind of prompt imaginable in any format. The sky's the limit!



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

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 literally any kind of prompt, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms, with the following caveats:
  • Large image prompts should be thumbnailed and linked to, as explained here.
  • Fanart/fanfiction/fanwork prompts are only allowed if you created the fanwork yourself or if you have explicit permission to use it, and proof of permission must be linked to in your prompt header.
  • Quote prompts can come from almost anything, but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
  • Reposting prompts is fine, but be respectful and keep crediting in mind. A prompt belongs to the person who posted it to this round, and who can fill it is determined by whether or not they are on that person's team.
    • If reposting a br2 (tic tac toe) prompt, please post each prompt square as its own individual comment. Posting tic tac toe boards wholesale will crash our br scorer and the bonus doesn't apply for this round, anyway.
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Akira & Hikaru). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Akira/Hikaru). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Besides that, if you want to prompt something, regardless of format—even formats not previously allowed in SASO—go right ahead. If you're unsure you can ask us for clarification, but tbh just go for the gold.
• Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with a fanwork.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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 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 Imaizumi Shunsuke/Kinjou Shingo, T

Ship: Kozume Kenma/Kuroo Tetsurou
Fandom: Haikyuu!!
Major Tags: none
Other Tags: kissing, autistic character

Kenma doesn't like kissing.

Well, that's not entirely true. He likes it when Kuroo leans down to kiss him on the forehead. He likes it when Kuroo kisses the back of his hand after practice (except when Kuroo's lips are still wet from the water fountain; it's cold and clammy then, and he doesn't like it). He likes kissing Kuroo's collarbones sometimes when they peek out from under his shirt. All of those sorts of kisses are good, but kissing kissing, like what happens in movies, he doesn't like at all.

He might be able to find the words to explain why if Kuroo really wanted him to, but Kuroo gets it and doesn't push, and so Kenma's never had to say anything more than it feels wrong and makes his skin crawl.

It's one of the reasons he likes Kuroo so much. Kuroo never demands explanations for the oddities of Kenma's head; he just accepts them at face value and runs with them.

Like now. Kenma is rocking back and forth on Kuroo's bed while he analyzes their most recent practice. Kuroo's draped himself loosely around him as he waits for Kenma's thoughts.

"Yaku's been working with Noya recently, and I thought it showed today. What did you think?" Kuroo asks. Kenma doesn't look up as he presses a finger to Kuroo's lips to stop him. He hasn't made it that far yet.

Kuroo laughs, and the vibrations spread from Kenma's fingers through the rest of his body. It's a fuzzy feeling, like a soft tickle chased by a mild electric shock.

It's strangely compelling, and Kenma wants more. He looks up at Kuroo through his bangs, but he doesn't move his fingers.

Kuroo hums a question, and the tingle lingers longer this time, building on itself as the sound continues. Kenma makes his own noise in response, and the vibrations that start in his chest form interesting patterns as the meet the vibrations running down his fingers.

They both fall silent, but Kenma lets his fingers linger. He trails them over the curves of Kuroo's lips and maps the peaks and valleys in his mind. They lay quiet now, but he's felt the way the words build behind them, insubstantial and yet powerful like an earthquake.

If he waits long enough, he wonders if the words will finally overflow. What will his name feel like as it spills past his fingers? How long would it take to create a perfect contour map of "I love you"?

He has all the time in the world for his mapping though, so he takes his time studying the topography of Kuroo's lips as they are now, the smooth curves that hitch suddenly as a question tries to escape and is swallowed back.

The volleyball practice is still waiting for the rest of his analysis, but it can wait. He has far more pressing things to analyze currently.

i have no words to describe how much i love this. the difference in kissing and kissing kissing for kenma just. it makes sense to me, and i love that kuroo respects that. i love the patience and how comfortable they are with each other.

If he waits long enough, he wonders if the words will finally overflow. What will his name feel like as it spills past his fingers? How long would it take to create a perfect contour map of "I love you"?

and the line after that, that he has all the time in the world to do his mapping....... gosh. this is very sweet, very tender, i just love the mood you create for these two, thank you so much for this fill!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! KuroKen for me is all about non-traditional boundaries and how to express/negotiate them, so I'm glad that came through. They're such a tender and comfortable pair; I love them.
