Bonus Round 1: AUs
SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).
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.

Toudou tried to keep his head down and resume work on his bike, but of course that one came with a walking advertisement.
“Makishima-kun!” a collective squeal went up from who knows how many girls.
Toudou kept his head down, but all the giggling and squeeing was grating on his nerves. He took a casual look back to see the golden green boy himself greeting his public.
“Hey I remember you!” the beetle-headed kid pointed to one girl. “Did you come all the way from Fukuskima?”
“Yes, yes I did,” the girl with braided hair replied, the way she covered her mouth with her hands and giggled made the hair on the back of Toudou's neck stand on end. “I just love watching you race, Makishima-kun! Your spider climb is so cool to see in person.”
“Aww you’re so sweet,” the kid kissed the back of her hand like he thought he was a prince or something.
“Can I get a picture with you?” the girl asked.
Makishima took her phone and pulled in for a selfie, giving that annoying point to the air like he always did. A bunch of girls crowded in to be part of it. What an obnoxious show-off. Toudou went back to greasing his chain; it was sticking something horrible when he finished the race, but it didn’t keep him from…
“You’ll win the next one, Makishima-kun,” another girl squealed.
“I was rooting for you! I really was,” another followed.
Toudou practically shoved his nose against his frame, he wanted to disappear into the ground.
“Nah, you can’t win them all,” Makishima dramatically sighed. “Besides if I’m going to lose to anyone I’d rather lose to my best rival over here.”
Toudou clutched his seat, why did he have to be so embarrassing.
“Now this guy is a challenge, Hakone Academy’s Forest Ninja; he keeps me on my toes and I cannot be more grateful.”
Toudou got up from his crouch, one hand took hold of the center of his handlebars as the other kept hold of the oilcan, and he walked away with his bike. He knew he was just going to draw more attention to himself, but he just had to get out of there. Thankfully there were no footsteps behind him, though any sounds were drowned out by the usual thrum of the crowd. Toudou kept his head down as usual though he peeked out from his hair to make sure he wasn’t crashing into anyone.
“Hey sorry about that, didn’t mean to embarrass you or anything,” that voice came from behind him, followed by a pat on his shoulder. That hand was so delicate, he shivered as a fingertip brushed a patch of bare skin on his neck for a second.
“No you’re just naturally embarrassing,” Toudou grumbled back.
“Heh what can I say,” Makishima just laughed. “I like telling people about how cool you are.”
“Cool?” Toudou responded. “You mean weird.”
“No I mean cool, because you are!”
Toudou managed to look behind him, eyes falling on that half-unzipped Sohoku jersey and a little gold pendant resting against his chest. His eyes wandered up to that wide smile but focused on the mole beside his mouth and not on his eyes. He still felt weird looking him in the eyes.
“Uh, thanks I guess?” Toudou replied, scratching the back of his neck.
“Well just because you’re cool doesn’t mean you’re getting away with this,” Makishima went on. “We’re two for two now, we’ve got to break that tie.”
“Yeah…when I win,” Toudou mustered some courage to reply.
He looked Makishima right in those pretty eyes and attempted a smile. He knew his own smile looked like a gaping fish mouth, but when Makishima snickered he didn’t feel like he was laughing at him.
“You’ve still got to work on that smile of yours, what did I say about having a winning smile?” Makishima chided. “I’ve won enough times to know how many cameras are out there. Hey I’ve got a few hours before I have to get back, I’ll give you lessons.”
Makishima flashed his own wide grin and winked at him with a little point.
“Oh yay for me,” Toudou snarked, though the corners of his mouth tugged up a little.
“Ah, do I see a happy smile there?” Makishima marveled, lightly poking the corner of Toudou’s mouth.
Toudou batted his finger aside and Makishima did that “kuahaha” laugh he liked to do.
“Ugh you’re so annoying,” Toudou huffed.
“Aww c’mon, Jinpachi, don’t be so mean,” Makishima chided, shaking his shoulder.
Toudou could only smile when he heard that name. He called him that in the middle of a race once. Of course Toudou barked at him for being so familiar, though he had been calling him that so many times he couldn’t argue with it. By now he couldn’t ignore the way it made his heart leap.
“Let’s get some food, my treat,” Makishima declared.
“I… I have to be getting back soon, someone’s picking me up,” Toudou sputtered. Oh did that sound pathetic.
“Picking you up right now?” Makishima asked.
Toudou looked at his feet and shrugged, though of course his eyes wandered to that pendant on Makishima’s chest, allowing himself to notice the shape of his pec. He was barely a second year and he was that toned?
“Um, soon I guess,” Toudou admitted.
“Then you can spare a few minutes to get some treats, whaddya say Jinpachi?”
Toudou looked up and met Makishima’s anticipating gaze, then shrugged.
“Well if you insist,” Toudou huffed.
“Yes I do insist, but enjoy your treat now because you’ve got to keep in top condition for when we meet again,” Makishima returned, lightly poking his cheek.
“Whatever.”
Toudou looked to the side and snuck a smile.
