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.
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)

|
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.

[2/2]
Toudou catches up with Arakita before he can get on his bike and take off, which means he can’t have been angry enough to be in too much of a hurry. It’s a relief—Toudou had suspected he’d be long gone by now.
“I’m the one who should be angry, you know,” Toudou declares.
Arakita scoffs.
“I am! It was a long time ago, Arakita! And I let you do what you wanted back then, but after all this time, you’re still ashamed of me?”
“Huh?!” Arakita stares Toudou down, searches his eyes like he’s trying to determine if Toudou is serious. Which, of course, Toudou is. “If that’s what you think, you’re an even bigger idiot than I thought.”
Toudou puts his hands on his hips. He’s not wrong; he knows how it is. “Why did we break up, Arakita?”
Arakita grits his teeth. “You fuckin’ know why.”
“I want to hear you say it.”
“Because,” Arakita says, voice soaked through with venom, “you got fuckin’ bored. Off after the next shiny new thing, huh?! So yeah, sue me if I don’t want everyone knowing that I’m just one more thing you threw away.”
“That’s not true, Arakita!” Toudou has hardly felt so slandered in all his life. He’s loyal. The same bike, same fashion sensibilities, same diet for ages now. “You know it’s not like that!”
“I don’t!” Arakita bares his teeth. “So if it’s not, why don’t you tell me how it is.”
“It’s—you—! You stopped coming, Arakita.”
“I skipped two days for good reasons, do I need a damn note from home to prove it? You’re the one who acted like a baby and stopped inviting me.”
“Why would I keep asking someone out who didn’t want to be around me? Didn’t even want to be seen with me?”
“Doesn’t usually stop you.”
“Oh, don’t even try it. You admit that you were embarrassed, then? So there’s your answer. I wasn’t going to force it if you couldn’t even appreciate me, so I gave you an out and you took it.”
“Didn’t. Fuckin’… appreciate you?!” Arakita stomps forward into Toudou’s space, glares directly down at him, using his height to its full advantage. “You know how much money I dropped for your spoiled ass?”
“Money is not the point, Arakita.” Toudou hates the way he has to crane his neck back, but like hell is he going to back down.
“Yeah? Then what about time?” Arakita is practically spitting now. “Every single afternoon for months that I could have spent doing something else?”
“Then why didn’t you?”
“Because I appreciated you.”
“Don’t be an ass.”
“You think I’m kidding? I appreciated the fuck out of you, anybody could have seen that.”
“But no one did, did they? Because you were so set on keeping me a secret!”
Arakita’s eyes flash, and finally he takes a step back.
“Yeah, so maybe I was kind of an asshole. Shit was new to me, all right? I wasn’t ready for everyone to know I’m… like that.” The look he gives Toudou now is less warning, more searching. “You saying you would’ve been okay with that? Everyone knowing you’re all talk when it comes to girls?”
“I am not all talk.”
“Yeah? Then what are you?”
“Don’t… change the subject. The answer is yes, I wanted to tell people. The team, at least. I wanted to stop pretending around everyone.”
Arakita shoves his hands in his pockets.
“So?” Toudou prompts.
“You still wanna hear me say why we broke up?” Arakita says.
Toudou nods.
“Well, we didn’t.” He sighs, slouching in a way that makes Toudou worry about his back. “We just sorta… stopped. Never got the memo that we were through, so I had to figure it out myself.”
Toudou looks for a retort, but Arakita is right. Neither of them ever said the words.
“Isn’t that how we got together, though, too?”
“Guess so.”
Toudou wrings his hands. “I wasn’t… bored of you, Arakita.”
“Yeah? Well I wasn’t embarrassed of you, either.”
“Then why… did we stop?”
“Who fuckin’ knows.”
They take a deep breath, in unison.
“Do you want to…” Toudou clasps his hands behind his back. “I don’t know. Get something to eat?”
Arakita sighs and runs a hand through his hair.
“Doesn’t mean I’m your goddamn boyfriend,” he says. “But, yeah. Sure.”
