Bonus Round 4: Quotes

[referees]

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.

(this is probably not what you wanted, but here's a fill I apologise)

Wild eyes
White and grey hair
I will have them all
Whatever they say, I won’t falter
My love for you is eternal
You may be a monster
But before that you are my lover
Bright yellow eyes piercing mine
White eyebrows
Flapping of wings is how I imagine you
Flying to greet me
Engulfing me in feathers and warmth
Your warm smile shines
Bright like the sun
You are
Underneath the scaley skin
I take you scales and all
Rough and Tumble
Warm and Safe
I take you all
You are my lover to stay

"Strange...but sweet."

"Only I didn't really die, I was fakin' it. And I come back. I spy on ya. From my red Corvette. I'm planning to kick your ass, but I see how happy you make her and I have to walk away. I have to. And I do. Slowly. In a rainstorm."

"Okay, this isn't really...in the spirit of what we're trying to -"

"But as time goes by, it eats away at me. You're out livin' it up, with my wife. And I'm alone. In a cave. Training."

“O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!”

Kuroo propped herself up on her elbows and stared down at Bokuto.

“What the fuck?” Bokuto looked up at her, looking mildly embarrassed.

“Haha, sorry, I read some poetry earlier today and then, you know,” she gestured with her chin, “it seemed an appropriate time to quote it.”

“I-” Kuroo started, then paused. “Babe, why were you reading poetry? You hate poetry.” Bokuto shrugged and tilted her head to scratch her ear against Kuroo's thigh.

“Yeah, but you like it. I wanted to find something good, you know? Something powerful and tender. Some real blow-your-panties-off stuff.”

“And you chose Edward Lear's 'The Owl and the Pussycat'?” Kuroo asked flatly. Bokuto beamed and waggled her eyebrows.

“Cute, right? But actually no. I got bored like, five minutes after I read it. I really hate poetry.” She huffed and Kuroo shifted, reminded of what Bokuto's ill-timed quote had interrrupted.

“Well, looks like you didn't need poetry anyway, because look!” Kuroo arched her hips and dug her heels into Bokuto's broad back. “It appears you managed to blow my panties off anyway.”

“Yeah, but is poetry something you'd want? Like, in the future?” Bokuto was frowning and Kuroo groaned and flopped back onto the bed.

“What I want, right now, is for my girlfriend to go down on me the way she promised she would-- in great detail, I remind you-- on the way home.” Bokuto blinked as she remembered what she had been about to do.

“Oh, right!”
–
Kuroo was close, that familiar knot of tension building and ready to burst, when Bokuto paused and drew back.

“Hey, what's a runcible spoon, anyway?” Bokuto's words were slightly slurred as she rest her cheek against Kuroo's leg and worked her jaw from side to side. “Is it some kind of fancy utensil only dead English guys use? Is it like...really small, or what?” Kuroo fought to keep from screaming in frustration.

“It's what I'm going to kill you with if you don't fucking finish what you fucking started,” she said, as calmly as she could manage. Bokuto hummed disapprovingly but obliged her girlfriend.
–
“I cannot believe you asked me what a runcible spoon was in the middle of eating me out,” Kuroo complained later. She hooked her sharp chin over Bokuto's shoulder. “What happened to 'What a beautiful pussy you are'?”

“It had just been eating at me all day,” Bokuto said, a little sulkily. Then she snickered. “Heh. Eating at me while I was eating at you.” Kuroo groaned and rolled away from her.

“Oh my god. You are banned from poetry forever.” She poked Bokuto's side. “Did you plan this on purpose?”

“Nope!” Bokuto smiled as she rolled over and threw an arm over Kuroo. “You banning me from poetry is an unexpected perk.” She yawned and snuggled her face into Kuroo's back. “'Night, babe.” Kuroo covered her hands with her own.

“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon,” Kuroo murmured before she, too, drifted off to sleep.
