Bonus Round 1: AUs

AUs

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.

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!

I read flippinflake's comment and i had to write it bc..... yes. yes.

The police car careens around the corner, tires squealing as they chase the suspect in the blue Camaro ahead of them. Their target is putting up a chase, which Asahi could really do without. Noya, on the other hand, looks like Christmas came early.

“Move out of the way, fuckers! Here comes the fucking police!” he calls out, blaring the siren as he runs through an intersection. Asahi’s knuckles are white with how hard he’s gripping the side of the car.

“You could at least use a turn signal,” Asahi says faintly. “Might be—um—safer.”

Noya gives him a skeptical look, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye as he presses his foot harder on the pedal. “Who the fuck uses a turn signal during a police chase?”

“I dunno,” Asahi says. “Conscientious cops, I guess. People who care about the law.”

“I’m conscientious,” Noya scoffs. He plows through another intersection, causing an eruption of honked horns in their wake.

“Noya,” Asahi says, “that was a red light!”

“So?” Noya says. He swerves, jerking Asahi sideways in his seat. “Who’s gonna pull us over? The cops? Oh, wait, that’s us.”

“It’s dangerous,” Asahi complains, “and unnecessary, and—look out!”

Noya slams on the brakes as they almost barrel straight into an old woman crossing the street in front of them. One of these days, Noya is definitely going to give him whiplash. He dodges the woman and continues along their path, slowly but surely shrinking the distance between them and the Camaro.

“See? I’m totally in control of this thing,” Noya says, patting the car’s dashboard the way someone might pat a pet. “I know what I’m doing. Just relax and leave it to me.”

Asahi’s pretty sure that “relax” is the last thing he’ll be able to do right now, but he keeps his mouth shut, instead opting to clench his teeth together to keep them from chattering.

The chase goes on for another several minutes, complete with swerving, screeching tires, and sirens loud enough to make Asahi’s ears ring. Eventually, Noya manages to corner their suspect in a dead end, and he and Asahi jump out of the car.

“Stay where you are! Do not try to leave the vehicle!” Asahi shouts.

“Keep your hands where I can see ‘em,” Noya adds. “You’re under arrest for drug trafficking and evading arrest.”

Asahi takes his handcuffs from his belt and hands them to Noya. “You have the right to remain silent.”

They work together to get the suspect cuffed and into the back seat. Despite Noya’s crazy driving, they make a pretty good team, Asahi thinks. He wouldn’t want to be partners with anyone else.
