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.

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

Required Work Minimums:

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).

I just couldn't resist and have been watching far too much BNHA lately to not take the bait on this prompt ;)

“Asahi! Asahi! Look at this!!!” Noya shouted, his body zipping around the training gym.

“Ah! You've gotten even faster Noya! It would be hard for someone like me to catch you now…” Asahi trying to hide the nervousness in his voice, fear creeping in once again that he was falling behind his classmate.

“Asahi! Do not try to hide from me. Just because your powers are different, doesn't mean you would be unable to beat me in your own way,” Noya replied, scolding tone evident as he slowed down to a stop.

He knew deep down Noya was right, he needed to stop putting himself down before a battle even started, need to quit psyching himself out for the loss without really giving himself a shot at victory.

“I'll tell you what, let’s have a mini-battle, and the winner has to buy ice cream.”

“The limit is three. If you do win no more than three, Noya,” Asahi chuckled, knowing just how much Noya loved his ice pops, and how enthusically he could eat through them on a hot day.

“Asahi… stop thinking you're already set to lose! But the same rules apply – no more than three!” Noya moving to take his place across the training arena, feet pushed right to the edge of the battle starting line marked out across the ground.

“Alright but that means I'm not making it easy on you…” Letting his emotions take over to coil over his skin, a hardened layer marking its way with fractures from Asahi’s fingers to feet.

“Wouldn't dream of it Asahi, but that just means you have to catch me first!” Noya replying as he started his sprint across the battlefield boundaries, bouncing from leap to leap in a flash that Asahi could barely keep up with.

With his heavier weight under armor he knew he moved far too slowly to avoid any blows from Noya, managing to dodge one kick before another struck him in the shoulder to try and send him sprawling to the ground, but he used to the force behind the blow latching a hand onto Noya’s leg to send him sprawling to the other side of the arena.

Asahi used this time to his advantage, digging into the concrete near the boundary line to disconnect it from the earth, easily moving the heavy material quickly to pile halfway across the field.

He heard Noya’s feet before he could see him, jumping up to move around the edge of the rumble to avoid a new series of kicks and jabs aimed for his head. When Noya attacked again aiming for his legs, Asahi using it to his advantage, heavy arms taking the repeated blows to curl solid around Noya’s middle and carry him to the other side of the field. An arm managing to snake free to strike Asahi several times in the chin to try and force him to let go – but it wasn't happening.

Today was meant for Asahi’s victory as he slammed Noya harshly into the cement knowing he could take it, closing in inch by inch to shorten the playing surface and turn the outcome of the match in Asahi’s favor. Easily picking up a new section of cement to coil around Noya’s body, sufficiency trapping him from any further attacks.

“There you go Asahi! That's using your hard head, but you'll have to let me out if you do want ice cream,” Noya managed to chuckle with a few new scratches scrunching on his face.

“Hmm…. Maybe I'm okay minus the ice cream and I'll just leave you here instead…”

“Chocolate! I promise chocolate ice cream and no ice pops!” Noya almost begged.

“With sprinkles?” Asahi chuckling again as he started to remove the concrete gently from around Noya’s body to free him.

“Always.”

Noya leaning over to kiss Asahi gently on the nose once freed, blush spreading quickly as Noya tugged them both to their feet. Pulling along one stunned Asahi in search of their treat for a well-fought battle.
