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)

There is no max work cap.

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!

"You know," starts Kiyoshi, his finger like an electric current and Hanamiya's spine the lightning rod. "One would think you'd spend more time raising Akatsuki to bat for your team rather than, well, this."

By 'Akatsuki' he meant the Antichrist, currently eleven years old with a penchant for baseball and not much else in the 'embodiment of all that is evil in the world' department. And by 'this,' which Kiyoshi punctuates by dragging a nail along the small of Hanamiya's back, he meant—

"None of your damn business." It's exactly what Kiyoshi wants, but Hanamiya can't help from turning around to swat at the offending hand. Never mind that that hand was committing worse sins only minutes ago, fiddling around in places Hanamiya can't even mention aloud without having to wash his mouth with holy water. Never mind that his own mouth was—

"Language, angel." Immediately Hanamiya realizes that turning around was a mistake, because even in the near-darkness he's treated to the languid, measured way a smile spreads across Kiyoshi's face. That smile has always nagged at the inner recesses of him that would've followed the third of the host that traded divinity for free will, had he been weak (or strong?) enough to surrender the Big Guy's light. Like moths to a flame, they're suckers, all of them that stayed, including himself.

But he'd be lying if he didn't admit that he'd done his fair share of tempting too, irony of the role reversal aside.

It's that smile, he insists, not the apple nor the tree, that caused the downfall of man.

"Call me that again and I'll rip out your tongue," is what he says instead, in lieu of the embarrassing shit that always spring to mind in the afterglow.

"I'd be worried more about your tongue if they heard you speak like that Up There." Kiyoshi's large palm—by God is it large—has settled on his waist now, thumb tracing circles on Hanamiya's hipbone.

"We're not Up There, are we? I'll talk however I like."

"Suit yourself. I always liked that about you."

"Funny," sneers Hanamiya. "I'm having a hard time thinking of anything I like about you."

At that, Kiyoshi no longer wears a smile. What's dancing around his lips could be better described as a grin, insinuating filth more than anything he could ever say.

"I have all the proof I need in my bed." Kiyoshi's hand dips dangerously lower. "By 'proof' I meant you, by the way."

Hanamiya hisses—here irony rears its head again—and swats the hand away, again, only to shift on top of Kiyoshi, close to spitting on his cheek. "I know what you fucking meant."

"I know that too," smiles Kiyoshi, the grin gone and now looking positively angelic. "Just making sure."
