Bonus Round 1: AUs

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).


This popular round is back once again! To begin this year's SASO, we encourage you to let your mind run wild with alternate ideas and settings.


Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post with an alternate universe idea, along with a ship from one of our nominated fandoms. There's a comment template below for your convenience.
  • 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., Izumi & Sakaeguchi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Izumi/Sakaeguchi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• An AU can be a canon divergence, e.g. "what if [character] was the Team Captain instead of the canon captain character?", or a completely different setting altogether, e.g., pop idol AU, coffee shop AU, superheroes AU, etc.
• Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:

• 400 words (prose)
• 400px by 400px (art)
• 14 lines (poetry)

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Title: Accounting Advice.

P.S.: This prompt is so much my thing that I almost screamed when I read it.
***

The Don undid his red tie and let his body fall on the leopard print coach on his main office, he could hear the sound of helicopters passing close to his window, probably FBI, trying to keep up with their surveillance of his main house territory. He had been advised to not directly confront any of the government officers but it still annoyed him how they disrespected even his private quarters, things like this would never happen when his father was the leader, if a government officer dared to step out of the line they would be completely eliminated but present times are not as simple as that.

A small noise of the door opening made The Don open his eyes, he knew who it was but just the presence of this person made his body respond. This person entered the room with soft steps and a distinct smell of a certain important cologne that was easy to identify in the middle of any others.

“Don, I have come to discuss your money transactions referent to this week.” He spoke in a whisper, probably the only voice that did not give The Don a headache nowadays.

“Lock the door.” He spoke to his accountant without even getting up from the couch, he did not want any money conversation today.

“As, you wish.”

The Don heard the soft footsteps again and his ears caught a small giggle coming from the other man, it annoyed him, but more than that, it excited him. When he heard the door and the footsteps to approach him again he stood his hand on the man’s direction, making clear of his intentions.

“Take off my ring, Oshitari.”

“Sure, Atobe.”

Oshitari’s fingers touched his skin with care, removing the Cosa Nostra ring that was the symbol of his inherent power, the symbol of who he was, leaving it on top of the side table. Atobe opened his eyes once more, this time finally looking in the lilac eyes of his accountant and the only person he could, maybe, call a friend, since Kabaji had died on the past year.

“I have validated all your foreign translations, the FBI cannot bother you about that problem anymore.” Oshitari said that, passing his eyes over Atobe’s body and the half open social shirt he was wearing.

“I don’t care. I don’t want to talk about money right now. Undress.” The Don let out a sigh, while passing his hand through his golden hair, Oshitari should just let their problems outside and let them live their secret at this moment.


“You or me?” A smug smile passed on Oshitari’s face and that smile made Atobe pull the accountant to lean over him in the couch.

Oshitari’s hands went for his suit, pulling him to sit down while his clothes were being removed, their lips clashed in the bitter struggle they were already used with, that sometimes made Atobe angry for how much he desired that man, but most of the time even the anger was a small thought on the back of his head that was more interested in getting them both undressed as fast and he could and then they could have their fun over the couch, the antique imported table or even in one of the walls. When he, finally, got a way to breath, he answered.

“Both of us.”
