Bonus Round 2: Images
Please read the rules carefully before posting!
This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on June 23 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.
RULES
- Submit prompts in the form of a canon screencap from one of our nominated fandoms along with a ship. Screencaps can be from the anime or manga, as well as any other kind of offshoot media, e.g. official art, drama CD covers, light novel illustrations, magazine covers, photos from stage plays, and/or caps from games.
- Doujinshi, fan-made games or any other fan-created work should not be prompted, even if you receive permission. Only prompt official, canon artwork.
- Keep your prompt concise. Don't prompt a whole manga chapter, for example.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Abe & Tajima). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Abe/Tajima). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Upload the cap somewhere (imgur works well) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them. Including a text-only summary of the image is encouraged.
- Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work inspired by the cap.
- Fills can be directly connected to the cap, e.g. panel redraws or writing fic that fleshes out the moment that was capped or that fleshes out what happened directly before/after, but fills can also be more indirectly linked. As long as the work is somehow inspired by the cap, it counts.
- Fills that are too long to fit in a single comment should have the rest of the fill placed as replies to the original fill comment. The subjects of these extra comments should be something like "part 2 of X" or "continued."
- Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

FILL: Team Kyoutani Kentarou/Yahaba Shigeru, G
word count: 409
Nothing is invincible. Nothing is unbreakable.
It's a lesson that Tobio learns, not for the first time and certainly not for the last, the first time he sees Oikawa benched, clutching his knee, shoulders trembling.
Ideals can be smashed. Hearts can be crushed. Dreams can be shattered.
Everything, Tobio understands, has the potential to break.
He shuts his eyes, breathes in deeply, and takes comfort in the thought.
Across the court from him, Oikawa's expression is as hard as steel, but he's made of flesh and bone and muscle and sinew. He can break, and put himself together, and push himself until he breaks again. His knee, his ankle, his fingers, his shoulder, Tobio remembers the sprains, the bandages, the breaks from practice, he has them all catalogued somewhere at the back of his mind, from when he was young and wouldn't know better than to stand and to stare.
But Tobio in his first year of middle school is nothing like Kageyama in his third year of middle school, and that is nothing like Kageyama in his first year of high school.
Or so he hopes.
There are roles to play, expectations heaped upon their shoulders and they, too, can break. Oikawa breaks his cheery, carefree character; breaks the neat lines of the players on the court; breaks the atmosphere; breaks Karasuno's defense like it's nothing at all. Tobio refuses to let any of it break his spirit. He doesn't let it break his concentration.
Oikawa toys with them, taunts them, and it's frustrating. Tobio can feel himself slipping back into his familiar thought patterns, wanting to push himself to increase his pace, his accuracy, to push the people around him to do the same. Tobio knows, however, that bodies aren't the only things that can be pushed until they break.
He'll have to find some way to grow, to change before he falls back into his previous self. He'll change, and maybe Oikawa will break him, maybe he will break Oikawa instead.
If Oikawa can pick himself up and carry on, Tobio thinks to himself, then surely he will be able to learn the same. It's a matter of watching him learning him. A jump serve is one thing. Mental resilience is another matter entirely.
Still, Tobio watches. He doesn't stare, blank and unassuming, but carefully, calculating. He learns.
Someday, no matter how long it might take, Tobio promises himself, he will learn how to break free.
