Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe



Tic-Tac-Toe


SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).


Get three in a row! That's the goal of this bonus round. Inspired by a fanwork event type called kink bingo, this round encourages you to create and fill out themed prompt cards.


Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. There's a lot of text here, but if you read carefully and follow the instructions step by step, you will be okay.


RULES
Please refer to the first comment thread of this post for an example of how this round works.

PROMPTING

  1. Select a ship to create your prompt card about. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Haruki & Kazuma). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Haruki/Kazuma). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!

  2. Visit this card generator.
    • Here is a visual guide to using it.
    • The large text box is where you can list prompts if you have your own ideas. Please list at least 9 prompts; you can list more if you want. (The generator says you need at least 24, but it's lying.) Single words or short phrases are better than sentences.
    • Otherwise, you can use the dropdown menu found right below it. Note: some of these prompts lists are NSFW. (NSFW prompts are a-ok as long as you tag for it.) If you don't like some of the options that appear in a prompt list, you can delete them.
    • Text prompts only, please. Also, each card square must be unique—don't list the same prompt 9 times.
    • In "Configuration Options," make sure you select 3x3 and (Normal prompt). This is the most important step!
    • Leave the tic-tac-toe card with its default colors, so everyone can read it clearly.
    • Click the "Create a bingo card" button.
    • Scroll down to see the card that was created for you. If you don't like the prompts it picked, you can reroll by clicking "Create a bingo card" again.
    • When you're satisfied, scroll further down the page until you see a textarea box full of HTML.
  3. Copy and paste the HTML from the box and into the body of your prompt comment, then post!

FILLING

Fill prompts by selecting an individual square to create fanwork for, then leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. (Optional:) If you can fill three squares from a prompt in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, you get a tic-tac-toe (and an additional point bonus)! You can also just fill prompts as you please and get standard points.
  • Prompt squares are labeled as follows:
    A1 B1 C1
    A2 B2 C2
    A3 B3 C3
  • If you're trying for tic-tac-toe, you cannot combine squares into one fill. If your fill can satisfy multiple squares, pick the most relevant square: e.g., one square is sailing and another is pirates and you make a fill about pirates sailing, it's mostly pirates so put down the pirates square.
  • Each fill must stand alone as an individual piece, but all your fills can slot into a larger universe if you'd like.
  • You cannot fill a prompt square more than once, but you can fill every square on a tic tac toe card if you want to.
  • You cannot work with your teammates to get a tic-tac-toe. Only individually achieved tic-tac-toes get the bonus.
  • Multiple people can fill the same prompt square. You cannot "block" others from getting tic-tac-toe.
  • Remember to also follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
  • Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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 for each tic-tac-toe card (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
Tic-tac-toe Bonus: 2 points each for the first 12 achieved by your team

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).

“Never again,” Hanamaki groans, and Issei laughs.

They’re sitting on the stairs outside the gym—or, Issei is sitting, while Hanamaki is sprawled out across on the ground. His eyes are closed, face scrunched up in a grimace, the very picture of a sore loser. His hair is flat with sweat, sticking to his forehead and making him look about six years old.

“I’m never challenging Iwaizumi again,” he says. “I can’t feel my arms. Did they fall off? Matsukawa, my arms fell off. I have to sue Iwaizumi now.”

“I don’t think you’d win,” Issei replies. “Your arms are fine.”

“Aw, thank you.” Hanamaki peeks open one eye. “They might be fine but they’re weaaaak. Why didn’t you stop me, Mattsun? Why did you let me suffer against Iwaizumi like that.”
“Shouldn’t you be used to it by now?”

Hanamaki kicks him in the shin. He flops backwards onto the concrete step he’s stretched out on. “Why is Iwaizumi so strong, Matsukawa. What kind of a monster is he.”

“Maybe he’s an alien.”

“Is that why Oikawa is always all over him?”

Issei shrugs, not that Hanamaki can see. He leans back on his hands, tilting his head up towards the sky. It’s a beautiful day, blue skies all around and not a cloud in sight. They should probably find some shade before they get sunburned, but for now, he doesn’t want to move. Issei closes his eyes, and allows himself to soak in the sunshine.

“Hey, Matsukawa.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you think...”

“Yeah, pretty sure I do.”

Hanamaki kicks him again, but this time, lets his foot rest on Issei’s knee. Issei places a hand on his ankle, and they stay like that for a couple heartbeats. He waits as Hanamaki collects his thoughts.

“We’re a good team, aren’t we?”

“Yeah.”

“We’re going to beat Shiratorizawa, and Karasuno, and go to nationals.”

There’s a note of urgent hope in Hanamaki’s words. It’s strange, because he’s used to hearing those words—spoken like a mantra, ringing with radiant confidence like they had to, like it’s inevitable because they’re going to make it happen—from Oikawa, but here is Hanamaki, still with his eyes covered by his arms, saying them quietly, determinedly.

Issei can only agree.

“We’re going to nationals,” he says, and his hand squeezes Hanamaki’s ankle once, before he lets go completely.

It’s quiet between them for a while, until Hanamaki shifts, lifting his arm to squint at the sky.

“Hey, Mattsun. You think Iwaizumi and Oikawa got lost on their way to the vending machines?”

Issei laughs. He slaps Hanamaki on the leg. “Let’s go find them, then.”

“Here.”

Takahiro looks up as Matsukawa drops a bottle of milk tea in his lap. He reaches up for the warmed bento box Matsukawa is holding, nodding his thanks. He scoots over on the bench, and Matsukawa plops down beside him, undoing the rubber bands on his own bento.

They’re outside the konbini, after a long, gruelling morning practice. Takahiro’s still thinking about his jump serve. He’s been trying to get it down since the training camp, but it’s harder than expected. And it’s even harder when you have Oikawa on the other side of the court, slamming serves down like he was made to do it. Takahiro isn’t jealous—Well, maybe he was, just a little. But who isn’t a little jealous of Oikawa Tooru? That’s fine, though. Watching Oikawa striking balls down like bullets and seeing his friend and captain’s hard work in between drills is incredibly inspiring. Takahiro hasn’t tried this hard at anything except volleyball.

“Hey, you want a piece of my pork chops?”

Takahiro glances over. Matsukawa holds out the box to him, eyebrows raised slightly. Dutifully, Takahiro picks out a piece of the grilled meat, and trades it for a piece of his fish.

“Thanks.”

Matsukawa hums. He nudges Takahiro with an elbow. “You doing okay?”

“Yeah. Tired, I guess.”

“Coach is always ruthless, this close to season starting.”

“True. But I don’t want to disappoint him.”

“I know how you feel,” sighs Matsukawa. “It’s our last year, too. Oikawa’s all ride or die, it’s kind of hard not to get dragged into his pace.”

Takahiro stabs a piece of fried tofu. “His pace is going to kill us all.”

Matsukawa tilts a smile at him. Loose curls hang over his eyes, giving him a soft, lazy sort of look. It’s familiar, and stupidly soothing. “Would you have it any other way?”

“Ha,” Takahiro snorts. He turns back to his lunch, and there’s a small smile pulling at his lips, too. “No,” he says. “Of course not.”

“Go big or go home.”

Takahiro’s stomach growls then, loud enough to be heard of the electronic jingle of the konbini doors. They both pause, glancing at each other. Then a smile cracks through Takahiro’s expression, and Matsukawa laughs. It’s deep, loud, kind of breathy, but it reminds Takahiro of sunny afternoons and victory dances. It’s all too easy, then, to laugh along, hands carefully curled around the bento to keep it from spilling and wasting five hundred yen.

He digs back in, finishing every last piece of rice and boiled vegetables. It’s nothing compared to his mother’s cooking, but it’s filling and satisfying right now. And with Matsukawa by his side, the meal has never gone down better. As he sets aside the empty box and reaches for the bottle of tea, he slides a glance over at Matsukawa.

“Is it too much to ask you to buy me a creampuff, too?”

Matsukawa puts his nearly-finished bento down, stands up, and leaves.

Takahiro chases him, laughing, and promises to buy him one, too.

Mermaid in the bathtub!!! Oh man though, the pacing in this is??? Super weird tbh. Probably a lot flatter than it should be, but I wanted to make sure I finished it before I got too tied up in working on MR1 ;o; I hope you enjoy it nonetheless, and I'll toss the little prequel I didn't know how to connect to the main piece into the comments haha

***

Rin drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly, pinching the bridge of his nose as he did so. He had admittedly put up with a lot since joining the force, but this was something else. He'd just wanted to take a calming walk along the beach on his way home from work. Instead, he stumbled upon some kind of half-man, half-fish creature drying up and bleeding out on the sand. His officer instincts had kicked in, forcing him to figure out some way to help the creature, and that somehow landed him in Rin's bathtub.

Rin opened his eyes to see creature was in fact still there, looking as disgruntled and ungrateful as ever.

The creature had complained through every step in the process of getting him there, leveling Rin with this look to say "I'm not happy with this development" every time he didn't feel like saying so verbally. Everything had been wrong from the way he'd carried him to the level he kept the bath water at (never-minding it was to keep the bandages wrapped around his torso from falling off). If he made one more complaint, Rin was certain he was going to just chuck him back in the sea, injury be damned.

"I'm hungry," the creature stated flatly, and Rin had to count backwards and remind himself that it was the most reasonable thing he's said all night. He mentally ran through his fridge contents and wondered what exactly the creature ate. Fish, probably.

"Well, you're gonna have to do with mackerel, because it's the only fish I have right now."

The creature sat up too fast, his eyes shining in the brief moment before the pain caused him to grimace.

"I'll take that to mean you're good with that. Cooked or raw?"

The creature just nodded unhelpfully.

Cooked it was then. The fish had been in his fridge so long, Rin wasn't sure it'd be good raw, especially since he was having some too. When he brought the food back, the creature ignored the offered chopsticks in favor of using his hands, and promptly burned himself. Rin thought his cough-disguised laugh was pretty convincing, but he was glared at nonetheless.

"So... do you have a name, or...?" Rin asked, a few minutes into eating.

The creature gave him one of his flat looks before responding. "Haru."

"Haru..." Rin let it roll off his tongue, and decided he liked the way it sounded. "Don't laugh, but mine's Rin."

Haru paused, holding the fish halfway to his mouth, and tilted his head. "Why would I laugh?"

Rin scratched the back of his neck. "Oh, I guess things are different where you're from. Around here, Rin's usually a girl's name."

"What about Haruka?"

"Yep, that one too."

"Not so different, then." Haru punctuated this with a scowl that made Rin think he wasn't the only one to be teased relentlessly because of his name.

Rin finished up his meal, then stifled a yawn and stood up from where he'd been sitting on the bathroom floor.

"Well, I've got work tomorrow, so unless you need anything else..." he paused, to give Haru a chance to respond, but he just stared back. "...then I'm heading to bed."

He gathered their bowls and stopped by the door. "Good night, Haru."

He flipped the light switch, and just as he was closing the door, he heard a faint, "Goodnight.... Rin."

Square: lean on me
Word Count: 590words

everything i write becomes softer than originally planned

***

“You wouldn’t lean on me,” Zono says one night, leaning on the railing outside of Miyuki’s room. “When we were taking you to the hospital.”

Miyuki, who he’d plucked from the clutches of Sawamura and Furuya under the pretense of ‘captain stuff, not you Kuramochi, go back to Donkey Kong,” is next to him, bare elbows against the freezing metal of the railing. Zono wonders if that hurts.

Miyuki’s not looking at him, eyes affixed somewhere out in the darkness.

“Well,” Miyuki says, quietest that Zono has ever heard him, “you wouldn’t have wanted me to.”

Zono gapes at him, indignance clear and plain on his features. “Now hold on a minute.”

“What? Now that Tanba-san has graduated you’ve taken over the ‘guy who hates me the most’ position.” It’s said without any trace of bitterness, either carefully concealed or not felt at all; Miyuki says it like a given, like an observation of a batter written in Nabe’s playbooks.

“I dont-”

“Lying is ugly, Maezono-kun. You need all the help you can get there.” Miyuki’s grin is crooked, his body posed in careful nonchalance.

Anger flares in Zono’s chest, and he glowers at Miyuki, who only shrugs and looks back out towards the field.

“Why do you do that, Miyuki?” He asks eventually, after he’s cooled down a bit. “Why do you piss people off right as you’re just starting to have a real conversatio- oh.”

Oh.

Miyuki laughs humorlessly, and leans to rest his forehead against the iron. “Yeah. Little slow on the uptake there, Kuramochi figured me out right away.”

“Well he’s- you’re just- he likes you a lot, for some reason.” Zono grumbles, staring studiously at his own hands folded on the railing.

Miyuki’s sharp inhale almost makes him look away, but his self discipline is only slightly stronger than that.

After a long moment, Miyuki sighs.

“That’s beside the point. And you’re wrong, but that’s also not the point.”

“But you lean on him, though.” Zono replies, and he thinks it’s clear he’s not only talking about Miyuki’s injury.

He chances a look to Miyuki, and is surprised by the rawness in his face. Miyuki’s drawn his lower lip entirely into his mouth, and his entire expression seems pinched as his throat bobs as he swallows.

“I don’t know what you want from me, Zono.” His voice is impossibly softer, exhaustion seeping into his tone. “I don’t ever know what you or anyone else wants from me, I-” He covers his own mouth, eyes squeezing shut. The breath he takes is halting and unsteady, and Zono feels all of a sudden completely disarmed.

“I don’t want anything.”

“Everybody wants something. They just never want to say it because it’s not polite, which is stupid. People should just say whatever they’re thinking.”

“Like you do?”

“Yeah. It’s easier that way.”

Zono’s not sure what to say to that, so he lapses into silence, watching Miyuki out of the corner of his eye, pretending not to notice when Miyuki swipes his thumbs under his glasses and flicks errant moisture away.

Eventually, it gets too cold to stay outside in slippers and pajamas. Zono pushes away from the railing. Miyuki doesn’t.

“I don’t know what happened to you,” Zono says softly, to Miyuki’s hunched form, “but if you lean on me, I won’t let you fall over.”

“Promise?” He thinks, at first, that he’s imagined it, but the sudden flush on the back of Miyuki’s neck is evidence enough.

“Yeah,” Zono says, and walks back to his room.

How it this longer than my actual fill...

--

They didn’t include things like this in the training videos. It’d been a long day of petty criminals and pointless complaints, and by the end of it, Rin had just wanted to clear his mind by walking along the beach on his way home. He sighed, ran his fingers through his hair, and wondered how he was going to word this in the report. “Man in (admittedly well-made) mermaid costume found passed out on the beach.” It wasn’t actually worth filing a report over, just weird, but either way, he couldn’t exactly leave him there.

“Sir?”


He waited a moment, then tried again.

“Sir.”

Rin reached for the man, meaning to roll him over, and froze. Underneath some very (almost unnervingly so) convincing “gills”, ran a deep gash, and what had looked to be just part of his shadow from afar was actually blood staining the sand.

“Shit.”

As he stared, wondering whether or not he should move him, the man’s eyes fluttered, and his tail twitched and flopped in a fluid motion that’d be very difficult to achieve if there were legs within it.

Rin cleared his throat and tried to keep his voice steady.

“Sir, are you alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”

The man’s eyes flew open and his tail lashed out in a sudden movement, surprising Rin and knocking his feet out from under him. He pushed himself up into a seating position and quickly put distance between them. The man… fish… thing was panting heavily and clutching his side, his eyes squeezed shut in pain.

Rin ran through his options. Whatever he was, he wasn’t friendly, but he was also very hurt from the looks of things. Who could he call? A hospital? Animal services? Both would just laugh at him before hanging up. It took him a moment to realize the creature was talking to him.

“...ter.”

“What?”

“Wat...er…”

Rin nodded dumbly and reached in his bag, keeping his eyes on the fish… man? Merman? No, that was ridiculous. (This was ridiculous.) Finding purchase on his water bottle, he pulled it out and rolled it over. The creature watched the bottle roll into him, then somehow managed to level Rin a flat look through the pain.

“IN… the water,” he rasped, looking annoyed.

That… made sense, but Rin didn’t know how he was going to get him there. The water was a good few yards away, and he wasn’t sure he could get close to the creature without him attacking him again. As he debated, the creature’s expression seemed to be shifting from irate to something more desperate.

“I’ll have to carry you.”

If he was surprised by Rin’s sudden announcement, he didn’t show it. He stared at Rin with a steady, wary gaze, then closing his eyes, he let out a deep breath and nodded.

Rin nodded as well, mostly to himself, then rose to his feet and took a few steps toward him. When the creature didn’t move, he crossed the rest of the distance and knelt to lift him, wrapping one arm around his back and the other under his tail. The scales felt dry and almost flaky, and Rin wondered how long he’d been out here before Rin found him. He was a lot heavier than Rin expected, and the creature gasped, digging sharp nails into Rin’s shoulder when he nearly dropped him.

“Sorry. Sorry, I’ve got you.”

It was a slow-going process, getting him all the way down to the shore, but once in the water, he looked a lot better.

“You alright from here?”

He moved his tail, then grunted and shook his head hard. Too injured to swim then… Rin looked towards the sky and considered his next course of action.

“I have a first aid kit in the patrol car. I could go get it.”

The creature clutched his shirt the moment he said go and started shaking his head again, more frantically this time.

“Well what am I supposed to do then, take you with me?”

I love how like lowkey sexy as hell?? this is lol
You nail their characters so well it amazes me ;__;

They'll know he's been claimed and it'll be obvious who he belongs to, and Junta likes the thought of that too. He thinks of showing them off, like badges of honour, like proof that he's worth something, like any medal or trophy, because he must be, if Hajime loves him like this, if Hajime takes so much pleasure in doing this to him.

THIS....i'm dying peacefully thank you

That last line is SO BRILLIANT. It just reflects so perfectly what Yanagi went through and how much it tortured him to see the results so clearly but be unable to do anything about it. The way you detailed Yanagi's slow descent into despair keeps pace with the team as well - there's this looming, crushing sense of dread that just weighs down the reader as well as Yanagi.

Thanks for such a great fill!
