Bonus Round 4: Quotes

A shipping olympics favorite, this round uses quotes of all sorts to fuel your creative endeavors.

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on July 21 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - M. Gandhi
- The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.
- 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., Makoto & Rin). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Makoto/Rin). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Fourteen Habits to Happiness
1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

3. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

4. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

5. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

6. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

7. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

8. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

9. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

10. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

11. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

12. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

13. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

14. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

"Beneath the scars, the face was good, if carved on harsh lines - a long oblong with a stubborn chin, high cheekbones, wide brow, heavy eyebrows set in a permanent scowl, aquiline nose, and the eyes of a goshawk, fierce and wild, with the barest hint of something that was not quite sane. Or at least, it was a peculiar sort of sanity, that saw deeper into dark places and could stare into the abyss without flinching."

If hot middle-aged women not being appreciated by the average middle-aged men in their lives need to feel good about themselves they should just walk into a room full of 15 to 25-year-old queer girls and see their reaction.

Swimming is redemptive, a holy act, a healing ritual. But it is more than that: Swimming is creative. Paul Valery wrote in his journal, ‘To plunge into water, to move one’s whole body, from head to toe, in its wild and graceful beauty; to twist about in its pure depths, this is for me a delight only comparable to love.’

From the introduction to "Splash! Great Writing about Swimming" by Laurel Blossom

Such a mistake to want
clarity above all things. What’s
a single night, especially
one like this, now so close to ending?
On the other side, there could be anything,
all the joy in the world, the stars fading,
the streetlight becoming a bus stop.

― louise gluck, moonless night

"I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare
When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day
When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way"

"Good combination
We really have a good relationship
If I'm with you, than the impossible things and so on feel like nothing
Courage, effort and determination too, without knowing it I have them all
Although it's embarrassing, I'll say it again
Thank you, together we form a Good Combination
High Touch!

Good Combination
We really have a good relationship
If we are together, we overcome even the tough situations easily
Smiles, tears and irritation too, entrusting them to you I can stay calm
Although it's embarrassing, listen to me
Thank you, together we form a Good Combination
...
With our combination, we discover new things in each match
Serve, shot and receive too, I can play to my heart's content
With my whole heart, I will tell it to you
Thank you, together we form a Good Combination"

noiselessly inside of you
adjusting ever so slightly your wet stars

"She cries when the prince takes her from the ruined castle,
from the dragon who faithfully watched over her,
kicks and screams and sobs for her beast,
repeating her desperate plea to return to the place
she has called home for more years than she can count;
'I didn't need to be saved'.

Court life stifles her, makes her want to scream
until she has no energy left to fight.
she flees to the gardens, running barefoot
through fountains and flowerbeds,
returning only when the guards come to seek her out,
silk dresses torn and covered in mud.

Her dreams are of flying, of flames and smoke, and
she longs for the nights when she could fall asleep
with warm scales as her pillow,
knowing that nothing would dare harm her
while her dragon stands guard
but that world seems to belong to another girl now.

Then a new knight appears in the court she so loathes,
swearing his allegiance not to the prince,
or to the person she can hardly think of as her mother
but to her, and when his eyes meet hers
she laughs for the first time since the prince brought her ‘home',
the fire in his gaze as familiar as her own.

She'd recognize her dragon anywhere."

I can't find the source for this either, sorry.

"That’s the other thing. Humans pack-bond, and they spill their pack-bonding instincts everywhere. Sure it’s weird when they talk sympathetically to broken spaceships or try to pet every lifeform that scans as non-toxic. It’s even a little weird that just existing in the same place as them for long enough seems to make them care about you. But if you’re hurt, if you’re trapped, if you need someone to fetch help?

You really want a human."

maybe death

my ancestors planted some sequoias by the road
i've driven down that road since i was born
oh, never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens,
but i would chop them all down just for you.

[...]

anything for you, all of this is true.
but the best story that I could ever tell
is the one where I am growing old with you.

"could this be love at first sight, or should i walk by again?"
you're photogenically dressed, the conversation begins
oh god, oh, what did i say
let me start over again

could this be love at first sight? oh wait, i said that before
i need a place for the night, happy to sleep on the floor
but don't go out of your way--and i won't talk anymore.

turn the lights off, i'm in love.

character death? maybe

"Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone."

"I’ll find her, I think as viscous black liquid pours from my mouth, over my hands, burning my throat. The field of containers pools around me like a storm of malicious stars, all whispering my name. She’s in here somewhere, I can see her reflection darting across their surfaces.
...
How could I ever forget her? How could I forget her taste, her scent, something as awful and beautiful as home?"
