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.

FILL: Team Iwaizumi Hajime/Oikawa Tooru, G

[sotongsotong]

poetry fill, G, developing relationship

knock, knock
(29 lines)


Everything about him is a
door, from the
way his shoulders move like
hinges, to the pane of his
body, the
shake, the rattle, the
stuck doorknob that is
his heart,
and though
he lets me rest my fingers
upon it, he never
opens up.


Yet,
here I am
still a splinter, still
never letting our distance
shut
and I’ll climb his creaks and
edges, until
there’s a tilt, and
that click of
a lock finally
undone.


(Knock, knock,
who the fuck’s that?
Oh, don’t you know the joke
by now?
It has always only been
me.)

WIBBLES FONDLY AT YOU I LOVE THIS SO MUCH?? you pull of the imagery of their relationship as a door so well, neither open nor shut but stuck somewhere in between... the rhythm to this is nice, too, short but not sharp, and it carries you to that ending line where, y'know, i can just lie down and flail in all my krmy feelings, it's fine this is Fine :")))

some lines i especially love:

the
stuck doorknob that is
his heart,

!!!

here I am
still a splinter, still
never letting our distance
shut

i'm laugh crying at kuramochi referring to himself as a splinter, something people usually find quite troublesome??? oh my god

Oh, don’t you know the joke
by now?
It has always only been
me.

HI HELLO LET ME HUG YOU AND ALSO PLS ACCEPT MY TEARS I HAVE SO MANY TO GIVE RIGHT NOW ;~~~;
