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.

Rin yelps, hands grabbing for the bowl as it jumps from its place beneath the whirling beaters of the electric mixer. Behind her, Nozomi's laugh is warm and pitying, as she reaches an arm out to turn off the machine. Rin is still clutching the bowl as it stops shaking, bent over their cupcake batter like a mother cat protecting her kill.

"You have to make sure the bowl is lined up properly," Nozomi says, gently peeling Rin's hands away from the mixer. "It's an old machine. It's temperamental. If you don't treat it just right, the beaters will knock your mixing off-kilter, and then nothing goes right."

"I didn't know it was going to jump at me!" Rin protests. She lets herself be pulled away, turning toward Nozomi with a pout on her face. "I was doing my best."

"I know, I know," Nozomi says, and her expression softens. There's a blob of cupcake batter on Rin's cheek, doubtlessly splattered there when the mixer started running out of control. Nozomi can't help but smile when she sees it. "Baking is a science, as much as an art. No one is great at it right away, it all takes a little practice."

Rin is still pouting, ready to protest again about how the stupid machine just won't behave for her, when will they be able to eat cupcakes if the batter gets everywhere? But Nozomi cuts her off, reaching out to swipe a spot of the batter off of Rin's face. She pops her finger in her mouth, sucking audibly to clean it.

Rin stares as she does it; Nozomi smiles subtly around her own fingertip, and reaches out to cup Rin's opposite cheek. "Don't worry," she says breezily. "We'll clean up the mess, and this batch of cupcakes will be ready in no time."

She leans in, and swipes the rest of the batter off Rin's cheek with a careful curl of her tongue. One pass isn't quite enough; she allows herself a moment to savor the strawberry flavor they've mixed into the batter, before giving Rin's cheek another little lick. She kisses the spot when she's done, and Rin laughs.

"Nozomi-chan," Rin says, pushing gently at her and ducking her head. There's a blush on her cheeks but her embarrassment doesn't last long, pushed aside too fast in favor of finishing up their baking. "I could have cleaned that off myself."

"This was more fun," Nozomi declares.

Rin only laughs again, and doesn't argue with it. "Okay, okay, umm... Can you show me how to mix the batter? So it doesn't splash everywhere?"

She's smiling sheepishly, hands pushed together in front of her. But her eyes are bright with obvious eagerness to learn, and Nozomi doesn't doubt that the cupcakes will taste all the more delicious for her involvement in their creation. She smiles, and pushes past Rin to adjust the settings on the machine.

"Of course," she says. "Just you wait, these will be in the oven before you can blink."
