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

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.

In some ways, Eli doesn't have the personality one would expect of a pitcher. She has the fortitude for it, and the determination, and she has a hell of an arm when she's pitching. She has the commanding attitude needed of the ace, able to rally her team around her and perform her part in their defense. But sometimes she seems too calm, too calculated, too set on making her own calls even when she knows her catcher is giving her signs.

(That's why she has Nozomi to work with, Nozomi who can read her like a book and who always meets her halfway, who understands when Eli can't stop herself from digging in her heels and shaking off direction.)

Eli is the sort of person who always wants to be aware of whatever situation is unfolding around her, who cares about the big picture and thinks on a macro scale first. As a pitcher, she knows she always needs to warm up, knows that it's part of the game to throw with Nozomi in the bullpen before the first inning starts, knows that downtime is a myth and that any time can always be better used with a little cleverness.

As a person, she can never resist sizing up the other team.

There's a lot of pressure on her, as the ace and captain of the first girls' team in their league. She and Nozomi have spent long nights studying the competition, watching game videos and researching their players, planning ahead for the sorts of fights they'll get into. They've researched Seidou, and Eli likes to think she knows what to expect.

But on the day of the game, standing across the field from the away-team dugout and watching the other players prepare to face them in a game, all of that research goes from hypotheticals to harsh reality. Eli is used to it, to the intensity of playing always looming broader and brighter than what she imagines when she's looking at stats and studying recordings. She isn't quite used to sizing up the other pitchers, to knowing she shouldn't but finding herself unable to not ruthlessly compare, her stats against theirs, her merits against theirs.

Seidou's current ace is tall and lean, whispered to be a monster and renowned for his fastballs that rival the abilities of the pros. Eli watches him from across the field, standing sentinel beside the dugout and staring off as if in a trance. Even from a distance, she can tell that his eyes are unfocused.

Until they sharpen down, and what he's staring at is her.

She can feel the pressure of his resolve from clear across the field, weighing upon her like a physical force, threatening her with his unwillingness to back down. But Eli is stubborn herself, and she has a whole team depending on her to play her part. She stares him down right back, before allowing herself to smile.

They're going to have a good game, Otonokizaka and Seidou, Eli will make sure of it.
