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).

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

The day that the spring high bracket is announced, the unimaginable happens: Yamaguchi gets called away by a boy from class 2-5 and is confessed to behind the bicycle racks.

"Um," Yamaguchi says, feeling her face heat up. Her recent growth spurt has made her uniform skirt fall at least five inches above her knee. She'd been called out by the class rep earlier for breaking the dress code, right after Tanaka-san nearly spiked a ball into Yamaguchi's face. All in all, boys are the last thing are her mind. "I'm sorry, what?"

"I like you," class 2-5's Ishida says again, clearly pained by the direction this conversation is going. "Your performance in last year's spring high really impressed me. Would you like to go out with me?"

Ah, Yamaguchi thinks. It's not the first time someone on the girl's volleyball team has been approached by suitors after going to Nationals, but Yamaguchi is still unused to the attention. She's not cute and bubbly like Hinata, calculatingly beautiful like Kageyama, or as approachable as Nishinoya. "Sorry," she says, trying to find something unoffensive to say. Her mind whirls, then shuts down. "I, um, I like taller people."

Ishida frowns. "Taller boys?"

"Taller girls," Yamaguchi whispers, then flushes. "Sorry!" She doesn't wait for Ishida to respond before bowing, then running off. She's already at the club room when her embarrassment dies down, and Yamaguchi finds Tsukishima silently changing into her sports bra.

"You're late," Tsukishima says and loops a t-shirt over her head.

Yamaguchi tries not to stare at the flat plane of Tsukishima's stomach. "Sorry, Tsukki! I got sidetracked!"

Tsukishima pulls her braids out from her shirt. "Hinata said you were called away by a boy."

This makes Yamaguchi pause. She kicks out of her school shoes and takes the practice clothes out of her locker. "Um... Are you jealous, Tsukki?" It's an awful attempt at humor, and she regrets it immediately after the words leave her mouth.

"Yes," Tsukishima says flatly and leans against her own locker. "Considering you're my girlfriend."

It's already been two months, but Tsukishima's casual way of reaffirming Yamaguchi's feelings still makes her heart speed up. "Tsukki!" She shrieks and nearly slams the locker door on her own hands. She's surprised when Tsukishima picks up Yamaguchi's dropped shirt and loops it over Yamaguchi's shoulder.

"Hurry up. We're both going to be late for practice."

"Enoshita-san will make us do drills," Yamaguchi mumbles and does her best to shimmy out of her skirt. She pauses when Tsukishima sets a slim hand on Yamaguchi’s hip, and Yamaguchi is pushed softly against the locker. "Tsukki!" She whines softly, but stops talking when Tsukishima's lips capture hers.

Yamaguchi's hand lands on Tsukishima's arm, toned and lean. She's sighing into the kiss when Tsukishima pulls away, Yamaguchi's fingers dancing along the inside of Tsukishima's elbow. "I-"

"I'll make up an excuse for you," Tsukishima says with a smirk before heading out of the door. "Hurry up."

Yamaguchi watches her girlfriend's retreating back for a moment before smiling to herself. Maybe Tsukishima really was jealous.

I'm honestly clawing at my face right now because this was everything I wanted and more. There's so much here: yamaguchi's continuous growth spurts, the confessions, how casual and straightforward tsukki is, lol even though she clearly isn't on the inside. And ahhhhhhh tsukishima with braids god please.
