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:

• 400 words (prose)

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 went with a skyfall-esque interpretation. they're sort of spies? anyway

***

"Turn right, 002, turn right!"

"I am turning right, Q, don't yell at me!"

"My right! My right!

"He's gaining on you, just so you know."

"Oh, shit."

Kagami wasn't even remotely close to overtaking Aomine, but what Aomine didn't know is a win for their team, so the lie doesn't linger on Momoi's conscience too much. Aomine always needed unique motivators, so to speak, which is what happens when the Agency employs agents who don't care enough about protecting the country as much as they should.

If forging rivalries within the department is what gets them going, Momoi thinks it's a sweet bargain.

"Now," she says into Aomine's earpiece once he arrives at a crossroads again. "Turn left. My left."

"I got it." Aomine pauses, as if he's mulling something over, and he proves Momoi's suspicions in less than two seconds. "He's not still right behind me, is he?"

"No, you've lost him." Momoi takes a cursory sip of her peach tea, smiling at the incoming realization.

"Was he ever right behind me?"

"Nope. 006 is operating in a different region tonight. Don't tell me you miss him?"

"Satsuki!"

"I'm sorry, Dai-chan, but mentioning him always sharpens your focus. And don't tell me I'm wrong, because I'm not."

At the other end of the line, Momoi hears him grumble. "Whatever. Just tell me where to go next."

She sets down her mug. "I'm on it."

-

They gather the necessary intel before the sun has even risen, so Momoi considers it a job well-done. She sets Aomine on a private jet home and placates him with promises of the latest magazine with Mai-chan in it before it hits the printing press, and calls it a night.

She's just about to leave the office when Aida, another Q, and the only other Q on Momoi's level, walks into her quarters wearing an expression just short of smug.

"You only finished now? My 00 completed the mission hours ago."

Momoi smiles, inwardly, because she's not about to give Aida the satisfaction of seeing it. This part, too, is cursory. "Is that so? Well, we all know 006 has always been a smidge sloppy in his execution. It's only natural that he'd finish first."

"As if 002's infiltration of Touou Corporation isn't right under the dictionary definition of sloppy—"

Momoi clears her throat, changing tactics. She's not about to admit defeat so early. "We can go at this all night, Q. Is this all you really came here for?"

"Yeah, why else would I—"

Momoi flicks a pen off her desk and bends over to pick it up, giving Aida an unobstructed view down her chest. When she's upright again, Aida's face is sporting a magnificent blush.

"You're cheating, Q."

"Only using what's in my arsenal. We both know how that goes." Here is when she smiles, considering it her victory, however close the margin had been. "My place, or yours?"

"Yours," says Aida quickly. She reaches out, twirls a lock of Momoi's cherry blossom hair with the tips of her fingers. "Some of the boys keep crashing at mine, and it stinks there right now."

Momoi's mind flickers to Dai-chan's unfortunate preference in deodorants, and laughs. Aida mirrors the sound, and Momoi can't help but lean in to taste it.

"I know the feeling."

This is LOVELY. The opening with MY RIGHT! MY RIGHT! was hilarious - I really liked seeing how Momoi steers Aomine and how she's got her boy perfectly under control. Even down to the porn promises.

And the bit with Riko and Momoi SO GOOD. I love love love their pride in their respective agents, and the acknowledgement that she IS on Momoi's level, and the bit about flashing her goods, omg. Wow. Riko had no chance.

Also the deodorant bit about Aomine! I choke-laughed at that because omg yes, some guys have the worst taste in deodorants and a lot of guys together can stink up a place so fast. Just walk into any male locker room and try not to gag at the reek.

Such a nice piece. pats it fondly Thanks tons!
