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.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:

• 400 words (prose)
• 400px by 400px (art)
• 14 lines (poetry)
• 8 tracks (fanmixes)

There is no max work cap.

Format your comment in one of the following ways:

Don't forget a comment subject!) <strong>Ship:</strong> (the ship your prompt is focused on. "&" indicates a platonic relationship, "/" is non-platonic. Format the ship name any way you want, but clarity is more likely to get you fills.) <strong>Fandom:</strong> (what fandom the ship is from) <strong>Major Tags:</strong> (https://sportsanime.dreamwidth.org/1609.html, when applicable; these apply to content *in the prompt itself* and is NOT an implication of what you're looking for in a fill.

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).

im really weak to this format, thank you for the prompt!!

***

three times atsumu thanked osamu, and one time he didnt


1.

Atsumu is six years, three months, five days, six hours and 28 minutes old, and he's not afraid of anything. He can chase away monsters in the closet, poke his tongue out at the big, noisy dog that lives next door, and can even eat all of his vegetables (well, almost all of them).

There's nothing that can stand in his way, or so he thinks, until he sees something big, hairy, and with way too many legs scuttle across their bedroom floor one afternoon while he's playing with Osamu.

Atsumu screams and it's like his limbs are frozen, till Osamu (six years, three months, five days, six hours and 41 minutes old), also screaming, grabs the box that holds all their Lego pieces and slams it over the monster. He scrambles back immediately and grabs for Atsumu's arm.

Atsumu stops screaming and gapes at his twin instead. "'Samu...that was so cool! You swooped in like BAM! You saved our lives! Thank you!"

Osamu clings tighter to his arm. "'Tsumu," he starts, voice trembling. "What do we do now?"

They both turn to stare at the box. It shuffles, slightly.

With identical screams, they pelt for the door.


2.

"Just this once," Osamu insists, sliding his maths homework across at last. "Otherwise I'll get in trouble too."

Atsumu crows and grabs for it immediately and starts scribbling down answers onto his own sheet. "Thank you 'Samu! I'll be real quick! Have you got your history homework too? You're the best!"

"You're the worst," Osamu sighs.


3.

The form is a bit crinkled when Osamu fishes it from his bag, but whole, and - most importantly - here, and not on the kitchen counter where Atsumu had forgotten it this morning. "You owe me," says Osamu as he passes it over. "Told you not to procrastinate handing it in so much, didn't I?"

"I know, I know, thanks 'Samu. Coach would have my head otherwise." Atsumu reaches out to ruffle Osamu's hair, and Osamu probably gets his sincerity because he allows it without ducking away.

"Would have been hilarious though," Osamu muses, as they walk towards the gym. "'High school boy forgets to hand in permission slip, misses out on renowned national training camp.'"

"Slaughtered by team coach-"

"-no, wait, Kita-san would get to you first-"

"-slaughtered by team captain with a well-placed volleyball, body forever unfound," Atsumu finishes with a flourish of his hands as they arrive.

Osamu snickers "Maybe I shouldn't have grabbed it for you after all.” He pushes the gym doors open. “Could do with some peace and quiet.”




+1

Osamu finds him while he's in the middle of splashing water in his face outside the stadium for the billionth time. He hears the footsteps over the sound of gushing water, sees the black sneakers stop at the edge of his vision, and doesn't look up.

Neither of them say anything. Atsumu presses down on the tap again, and this time fills his mouth with water, focusing on the cool liquid down his throat, and not on his heavy arms, his aching wrists, or the memory of the ball against his fingertips as he sent forward that last, fateful toss.

His grip on the tap slips and the spout dies down to nothing. Water drips from his cheeks. Each drop against the basin echoes like a ball smacking to the ground, uncaught, signalling the end.

A towel lands over his head, cutting through his thoughts.

"Next year, 'Tsumu," Osamu says, before Atsumu can muster a 'thanks'. "We'll get them next year."

Atsumu straightens, and presses the towel against his burning eyes. "Yeah," he says, voice muffled. "You're damn right, 'Samu."
