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.

All scored content must be created new for this round.

There were things that I wanted to tell you
And things that I wanted to hear from you.

I regret not having the courage
to talk to you about it.

no tags
poetry, 32 lines

once,
once i could see this working.
standing side by side,
your hand in mine.

together
we would be
and nothing else would matter
because we had that even if everything else was uncertain.

but could be can't become for certain
without making a move, taking a step toward that.

instead of moving,
we stayed stagnant.
i never said a word about what we could be,
never brought it up to you.

i wanted nothing more than to say it,
to say what was on my mind.
but i kept letting opportunities and chances
slip right through my fingers.

then, maybe it could have worked.
maybe we could have more than this.
maybe we could be happy
happy together.

but now,
now we're just missed chances
and squandered opportunities.
fear held us back, left us as we are, kept us from getting more.

i can't change things.
i can't step backward in time.
but i can hope,
hope for a chance, an opportunity to do what i never could before.

to make things right,
to step into what we could be, full potential and all.

FILL: TEAM Tachibana Makoto/Yamazaki Sousuke, G
