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.

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!

PROMPT: TEAM MIYUKI KAZUYA/OIKAWA TOORU

[personal profile] sotongsotong 2017-05-29 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ship: Hanamaki Takahiro/Matsukawa Issei
Fandom: Haikyuu!!
Major Tags: None
Other Tags: the boys are food, *blinks* literal food porn maybe who knows LMAO

Prompt: Hanamaki is a cream puff, Matsukawa is the cheesy *winkwonk* hamburger steak with an easy warmth that heats Hanamaki's little pastry heart up more than his own filling. Needless to say, some sizzling goes down.

So... anthropomorphic food is one of those tropes that's weirdly in my wheelhouse.

For reference, Oikawa is ice cream and Iwaizumi is apple pie (feel free to find all the symbolism you want out of that). Yahaba was supposed to be crème brûlée, until I realized sticking crème brûlée under a heat lamp was blasphemous, so he's soufflé instead.

It's more like their souls inhabit the dish that they are, instead of being a specific dish (i.e. Iwaizumi is every apple pie baked/served at the restaurant and not a specific slice of pie). I was trying to figure out how facial expressions work in this universe, but then I realized that I was way too deep into this Food AU, so just... have a suspension of disbelief, to make it all work.

***

Hanamaki doesn't often get the chance to interact with the appetizers or entrees. The desserts are more often kept separate from the others. They’re always served at the end, when the other plates have been cleared away. If he's unlucky he'll have to talk with the bitter coffees, or, on a good day, the specialty cheese plate.

He's much more familiar with the dual cloying sweetness and frigid cold of Oikawa and the grounded, familiar warmth of Iwaizumi, than the meats, seafood, and vegetables that comprise the rest of dishes in the restaurant. Occasionally some of the other desserts, like Yahaba, get to talk with the other meals while waiting under the heat lamps to be served, but Hanamaki's never had to, with his cream filling that tasted best when perfectly chilled.

It comes as a surprise when he's taken out of the fridge and placed on the counter, instead of being directly taken to a table. He can't see much from his vantage point, but hears a cascade of crashing dishes and the waiters cursing a moment later.

Whoever was supposed to deliver Hanamaki's goods had forgotten in the chaos of the spill, leaving him on the counter to room to room temperature.

Another waiter rushes past the counter, placing a plate beside Hanamaki, while grabbing dustpan, and running towards the scene of the mess. He hears the sizzling of the hot dish and feels his insides melt a little at the warmth. Even Iwaizumi, fresh out the oven, has never felt this hot to Hanamaki (even with Oikawa's indignant screams of "I'm melting!")

A voice that seems to penetrate Hanamaki's very core asks, "You come here a lot?" Hanamaki doesn't turn to look at the entree, but he can imagine the lazy smirk that would go with that voice.

"It depends on who's asking," Hanamaki asks coyly. He doesn't mind a little bit of flirting, and if it meant that he could hear that voice again, he would give up all his filling if he had to.

"Matsukawa Issei, the hottest hamburger steak in town."

"Hanamaki Takahiro, resident cream puff."

"I'll be the one putting the cream into you tonight."

Hanamaki burst out laughing, feeling light in the other's presence. "That's your pick-up line? I'm the one that actually has cream come out of my body."

"Like you could do any better, Makki," Matsukawa whines, but with a challenge in his voice. Hanamaki imagines how cute the steak would look with a pout on his face.

"I'm going to make you sizzle hotter than any broiler. You thought you've seen steaks before, but you've never seen mine. Your juices won't be the only thing leaking out of you tonight." Matsukawa cuts him off with a sharp, obnoxious laugh.

"Okay, okay. I get it, you're the king of pick-up lines." His laughter is infectious, and Hanamaki giggles. They sound so different, and yet when Hanamaki's light, bubbling giggles mix with Matsukawa deep, belly laughter, it sounds harmonious.

Matsukawa suddenly cuts off, and Hanamaki looks up to see the waiters that had forgotten about them, start walking towards them, the mess cleaned up.

"Until we meet again, Makki."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Mattsun."

He trades one last secret smile with Matsukawa, before the two of them are carried off to separate tables.

Thank you so much!! I was literally asking myself how ridiculous I could make the pick-up lines before it was too much, but then decided that there was no limit!

Thank you so much!! I didn't exactly think about how exactly they would speak as food, but I knew I needed bad pick-up lines, so I was "oh well [/shrug]... they're just going to be speaking, sentient food..." I'm glad you enjoyed the fill!
