Bonus Round 6: Remixes

[referees]

The event's almost over, and you've made it this far, congrats! This round encourages you to look back at everything the SASO has made and use it as inspiration.

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on August 18 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Choose a fanwork created by other participants in a previous main or bonus round of SASO and create a new piece based on it. You could create a fanart of another work, an FST inspired by a piece’s style, retell another person’s fanfic from another point of view, create a new fanfic inspired by a great piece of art... go wild!
• You cannot remix your teammates' works.
• You must have permission from the original creator. There's a blanket permissions post here (feel free to add yourself to it!), or you can leave a comment on their original post asking for permission.
• You must include the dreamwidth link to the original work in your post.
• Since all fills are based on previous works, there will be no prompts for this round. Simply post your fill as a comment in response to this post.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Kozume Kenma/Kuroo Tetsurou; Haikyuu!!

word count: 420

remix of yrindor's fill here

Kuroo watches as Kenma pulls himself from the sky, detaching himself from the blanket of darkness one star at a time.

"I have to go," Kenma murmurs, his lips against Kuroo's, and it sounds like a gentle reminder and an apology, rolled into one. The warmth of his mouth lingers even as he pulls away, and Kuroo aches to pull him back in, to kiss him harder, to keep Kenma in his arms for just a little while longer.

He can't, though. Their place in the heavens has been hard earned, and they're here for a reason. Kenma disappears back down to the earth for a reason. They both have duties to uphold and lonely as Kuroo might be when Kenma is gone, he's comforted in the knowledge that he'll be back soon enough.

Besides, his view from up here is unrivalled by none. He might not be right by Kenma's side, but he can still see everything that happens. He can see the way Kenma saunters down to the surface of the earth, shifting forms with each step. He's no longer the giant cat that once hunted beside Kuroo. He's no longer the boy with feline traits that lives in the stars with Kuroo.

Down on earth, Kenma is nothing more than a cat. He's deceptively small, and he might look defenceless, but Kuroo knows better. Kuroo knows that as far as Kenma is concerned, appearances are deceiving. They always have been, and it's amusing to him, to watch the way his partner is constantly underestimated. He's clever, and he's powerful in his own right.

Kuroo's duty is to watch from the skies, but Kenma's is to guide people. If Kuroo is the beating heart, the distant echo of drums, the pounding of feet on the ground while hunting down prey, Kenma is the silent calculation that goes into all of it. He's the instinct, the careful consideration before every move. He's the brain, and he knows what he is doing.

In his cat form, he mewls to make his presence known, bathed in light as his chosen hero opens the door to him, unaware of the path that has been chosen for him.

Kuroo smiles to himself, and the sky beside him might feel empty, might leave astronomers scratching their heads for months, but he knows that it will all be worth the wait.

Kenma will be home soon, with a new hero, a new story, and he'll return to Kuroo's side once again. Where he always belongs.

I'm in love with the imagery of Kenma literally pulling himself out of the sky in the first line! This whole story gave me goosebumps. I love it!
