Bonus Round 1: Memory

[referees]

Let's start our summer by looking at the past—things that happened in canon, or maybe in an AU, or maybe just as wishful thinking...


This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on June 9 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post! You prompt should consist of one scenario beginning with the phrase "Remember when", along with any ship/ot3/etc. from our list of nominated fandoms.
  • Your prompts can take the form of recalling canon facts/events ("Remember when Nozomi and Eli got parfaits after school?"), non-canon events ("Remember when Megumi and Jin met at the Tadokoro Family Reunion?"), or somewhere in-between ("Remember when Bokuto and Kenma first met?"). Headcanons and AUs are welcome!
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Rei & Nagisa). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Rei/Nagisa). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Post fills by leaving a responding comment to a prompt with your newly-created work.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

PROMPT: TEAM FURUYA SATORU/MIYUKI KAZUYA

[mewyuki]

Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, Daiya no A

Remember that time Sawamura met Miyuki, when he first heard the word "partner"

FILL: TEAM AZUMANE ASAHI/NISHINOYA YUU, G

[eliphone]

No Tags

Home: Miyuki Kazuya
Home: His catcher

Home:
The word partner, fresh and new
Unheard and Undeserved
A mystery and a pipedream
And his future

Home:
Standing on a mound and looking straight ahead
Falling, Falling, Falling
Being Caught
Home:
A small town covered in snow
The Clang
Clang
Clang
A ball hitting the fence over and over and over
Uniforms too unused, too clean
Packed away in snowdrifts and forgotten by spring
Chasing trains hoping to say one last time
One last time

Home:
Seidou and hopes and dreams
Dreams of balls hitting bats
And at night he flinches
Metal echoing throughout his head
Hopes of winning
Of pitching
Of finding a partner
Turning over and over around his head
As he circles around the practice
Constantly spinning and never getting closer

Home:
His first battery
Chris was there
Then he was not

Home:
Miyuki Kazuya
Smiling like he always has
Like he always will
Secrets in his eyes and the word “partner” on his tongue
He remembers that day
Clearer than the others
The feeling that he belonged
The warm day
The sound of a ball hitting his partner’s glove

Omg, I really love this style and how you emphasized "home". (Also, I know it's a miyusawa fill but that part with Chris broke my heart... the fact that their battery was short-lived GAWD I *clutches chest*)

Also, I really love the progression of time between his first home and last home. From his initial meeting with Miyuki, moving from Nagano, going to Seidou and finally forming a battery with Miyuki. It's very beautifully written!

Thank you so much for the fill! <3 <3
