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.

The original ending was Shuusuke taking over as the figure of Yuuta's worship, dishing out controlled doses of pain and happy-ever-incest but it seemed TOO CRUEL to Yuuta so this happened instead.


***

“Hello.”

A shadow falls over the rose bed and Mizuki looks up, one hand still curled around the trowel.

There’s a boy there, one who isn’t in the St. Rudolph’s uniform and who is definitely not one of the Brothers. How did he get down in the secret vaults?

“Hello,” Mizuki answers, setting the trowel down and rising to his feet. “How did you get down here?”

“My brother told me the way when he realized you weren’t coming for him,” the boy says, so polite and pleasant that Mizuki doesn’t know why there’s such a chill crawling down his back. This must be Shuusuke, the genius brother that Yuuta has such a complicated relationship with. Has Yuuta sent him with a message?

Shuusuke’s blue eyes are as cold as a dying star as he continues, “And then he killed himself.”

“...I’m sorry to hear about Yuuta’s death,” Mizuki says after a stunned second. “If he had only been more patient, I would have come for him once I graduated --”

The flare of pain on his cheek is followed by the hard clash of stone against his shoulderblades as Shuusuke shoves him back against the wall. His head smacks back against the stone so hard that his vision goes black for a second. When his eyes clear, the first thing he sees is Shuusuke’s unyielding gaze.

“You killed my brother,” Shuusuke says and in his eyes burns the same flame that Mizuki sees in his own. “Don’t blame him for not being patient. You taught him to hurt himself. You made him believe it made him clean. And then you made him believe that you weren’t rescuing him because he wasn’t clean anymore.”

“Devout,” Mizuki corrects automatically, wishing he still had the trowel. At least then he’d have a weapon.

Shuusuke cracked Mizuki’s head against the stone again and this time, Mizuki felt the wetness of blood start to trickle down the back of his neck.

Silence might be the best choice here.

“You will never deceive anyone again.”

Shuusuke throws Mizuki to the ground and straddles him; metal gleams in one hand and Mizuki has just enough time to recognize it as a knife before the world goes black.

*

Mizuki can’t see the scars afterwards but he can feel them. They radiate from his eyes in ugly lines, they spell words over his face. LIAR. TRAITOR. DECEIVER.

It’s done in neat lettering, perfect tidy lines of accusation that go all over his body.

The Brother that had found him naked and bloody in the secret garden had at first thought he was dead.

Dead might’ve been better, Mizuki thinks as he makes his way down the halls of St. Rudolph.

Dead, he would have been a martyr but now…

The Order of St. Rudolph’s will end this year. When his skin bears such a warning, he will not be able to find more converts.

Shuusuke was right; Mizuki will never again charm anyone as he did Yuuta.

He touches him gently, reverently, and wonders how he could have gotten so lucky.

They say that high school romances never work out but Bokuto is living proof that they do. He has Akaashi after all and he had gotten together with Akaashi during their high school years.

It had taken him almost two years to reach the getting together part because Akaashi was beautiful as a first year, even more so as a second year, and well on his way to becoming stunningly drop-dead gorgeous by his third year. There are few things in life Bokuto can't handle: math, gloomy days, losing a volleyball match, but Akaashi manages to vault right to the top of the list in his first appearance at the Fukurodani gym.

There is something to be said about being beautiful in appearance but Bokuto knows all about beauty that goes beyond what is skin-deep, passing right through the bones to reach what is inside.

Not many people are patient with Bokuto. They like him well enough in class and on court but there are things about him he can't control that makes them stop there, drawing a clear boundary between them and him made out of what they are willing to tolerate. Emotions spring from a well deep within him unbidden, bottomless and so bottomless even Bokuto doesn't know how far down it goes. Some emotions are good, some days are good. Some emotions are bad, some days are bad. He can't control what he feels or does. Not many people know that. Even less people are willing to deal with that.

So when he first meets Akaashi in the gym, just another first year in a crowd of first years, he is beautiful and Bokuto doesn't stand a chance with him.

Or so he thinks.

Akaashi is patient, Akaashi is kind. It doesn't just mean that he lets Bokuto do whatever he wants but it means that he understands it when Bokuto doesn't feel up to doing his best spike today or when Bokuto feels like he could do anything today. He helps him to be his best even when he doesn't feel like the best.

It feels a lot like love.

Bokuto thinks he is in love.

But what can he do for someone as beautiful and well put together as Akaashi?

Akaashi is smart, he is athletic, he gets on well with the other players and his classmates.

Bokuto is Bokuto. He is good at volleyball. He eats well. Kuroo thinks his hair is cool. Bokuto thinks volleyball is his most redeeming trait so he does his best at it and it as much for himself as it is for Akaashi. He had loved volleyball before he loved Akaashi and he is good at it for a reason.

Akaashi stays back with him after practice sometimes, setting for him long into the night. Bokuto can tell when he gets exhausted, even if Bokuto feels like he could go on for days. So after-practice practices get shorter and Bokuto starts putting his energy into other activities.

First, meals with Akaashi. Almost every day after practice so that they can recharge and Bokuto discovers that Akaashi finds his god in a bowl of rice and a plate of rapeseed blossoms in mustard sauce.

Then, spontaneous trips to the supermarket to get what their parents tell them to get, which are usually boring things like ingredients for dinner and toilet cleaners and detergent soap, or what they want to get, which are more exciting things like chips and— Bokuto-san, you don't need any more caffeine in your system.

Akaashi starts inviting him over to his house to study after seeing Bokuto's grades and he can do that even though he is a second year and Bokuto is a third year because he is smart. He is in advanced classes while normal classes go right over Bokuto's head. Bokuto doesn't want to study but he does want to see the inside of Akaashi's house so he goes along with them.

That had all happened over two years, alongside other important things like inter-highs and Nationals, and at the cusp of their second year and third year, Bokuto finds that he loves Akaashi more than ever.

Akaashi still stands right at the top of the list of things Bokuto can't handle but he thinks that if doesn't do this now he might regret it forever.

So

he

tells

him

and

"Bokuto-san." A hand cups the side of his face, a thumb grazing over his cheekbone. Akaashi looks into his eyes, his eyes dark and hazy as he asks, "What are you thinking about now?"

"A lot of things," Bokuto admits, flushing because he really shouldn't be at a time like this.

"Things?"

"Mostly about you."

Akaashi moves and Bokuto feels the air being stolen right out of his lungs in a gasp. "What about me?"

"You know, like how we met and played volleyball together. Those kind of things," Bokuto mumbles, pressing a hand against his face in embarrassment. His hand finds Akaashi's hand still cradling the side of his face and he takes it in his.

The room is dark, the curtains drawn for the night, but Bokuto can still see Akaashi in the bits of moonlight that make it through the gaps and into the room. He has changed since high school, growing older, even more beautiful, stunning enough to stop people in their tracks with just a look. He will get even older from here on and the number of people looking at him will fall and eventually they will stop being impressed by how he looks altogether. But it doesn't matter because Bokuto knows that all his beauty is really on the inside.

"You're beautiful," Bokuto tells him and it comes out a little breathlessly because that is just how Akaashi makes him feel all the time.

Akaashi smiles. "I've always thought the same thing about you."

Here's the thing.

Shuuzo's father, esteemed and renowned for being one of the best rangers of his generation, dies in a fight three days before Shuuzou was supposed to be assigned his first partner. The details are important — it was a long, valiant struggle against a Category IV, Nijimura Sr.'s partner, who was on the verge of retirement, survived but he didn't, and thousands of lives were saved — but in the moment, in this one, small, insignificant moment that didn't fit in the grand scheme of things, none of that mattered. All that Tatsuya could think about was how a hero he used to pass in the halls before he graduated and watched on TV before he enlisted, a constant and unwavering figure in the war, and Shuuzou's father, was now a martyr, fallen in battle like so many others before him. Tatsuya's a soldier, and logically he knows that this was always a possible outcome everytime pilots were sent out, but it had never hit so close to home, had never been someone knew somewhat directly, and he should be thinking he's lucky in that regard but the running thought in his mind isn't about himself, unselfish, for once, because his heart is pounding to the beat of the syllables I have to find him.

But the marshall finds him first, and here's the real kicker.

He wants Tatsuya to pilot beside Shuuzou.

Tatsuya bites down the immediate protest on his tongue; both of them know that Shuuzou's first partner was supposed to be his father. It wasn't officially announced yet, but Shuuzou had been training for it and everyone in the Shatterdome thought it was a matter of succession, so how is Tatsuya the solution? How is he expected fill such impossible shoes?

"You're his best friend," says the marshall, and in Tatsuya's ears it sounds like what it truly is: you're the next best thing. "The deeper the bond—"

"—the better you fight," finishes Tatsuya, angry and paranoid but mostly resigned, because he can't go against orders before he's even been deployed. He's led down the corridors to the room where Shuuzou is, and based on the look on Shuuzou's face when he sees Tatsuya, he's already been told. Tatsuya has never felt more sorry to be himself, in all his inadequate glory.

He won't say that, though, but he doesn't know what else to say, so he waits for Shuuzou to speak instead. Shuuzou, with his eyes red-rimmed and his knuckles bruised, regards Tatsuya for a long moment, grief and disbelief and hesitation filling the silence, submerging them both. Finally, with his voice hoarse, Shuuzou asks, "do you trust me?"

Tatsuya doesn't understand the question at first, overcomplicating it as it comes out. Does he think Shuuzou is incapable of piloting anytime soon? (No, Shuuzou is stronger than that, stronger than even this.) Does Shuuzou doubt Tatsuya's faith in him? (He hopes not; he had been proud of Shuuzou for being deemed ready to pilot and he still is.) Is Shuuzou asking Tatsuya to give him everything he has to offer, right there and then? (Is Tatsuya even ready for that?)

In the end, he stops turning it over in his mind and the answer lays itself out, plain and simple: no matter what the circumstances, no matter what the world throws at them, no matter what Shuuzou is going through, it will always be a resolute, "yes."

Shuuzou nods, once, in acceptance, like it still isn't the best thing, not to hurt Tatsuya, but just because it isn't and he's in no mood to pretend. "Good enough for me."

Here's the thing.

There's not one part of Tatsuya that isn't suited to becoming a jaeger pilot. He has strength in spades, has the guts, has the determination, has the ability to think on his feet out on the field. They call it battle sense; he calls it instinct, honed from picking too many fights when he was younger with bigger kids. It doesn't show on his face so people have a hard time believing it, but he can take a punch and can definitely retaliate with a stronger one. But this is the 21st century, and more than the part of him that's a soldier, Tatsuya has it in him to perform as a celebrity too. He has the features for it, camera-ready at every opportunity, and he has the charm and the right answers to fend interviews off or reel them in for a better scoop. It's not why he enlisted, far from it, but he thinks it an amusing perk to be gifted an action figure of himself at a celebration honoring the anniversary of their first victory.

So Tatsuya has no problem with the socializing, the drinking, the laughing on cue, but here's the kicker: Shuuzou does.

They're partners, and technically this is for both of them so they should be standing here, together, suffering and enjoying the attention in equal measure, but the second Tatsuya turns his back to pose for a picture, Shuuzou seems to vanish in the flash. It takes half an hour to extract himself from the festivities, and a good quarter hour to actually find where Shuuzou's run off to, but he turns out to be in the most obvious place, so obvious Tatsuya didn't think to look there first.

Tatsuya, from several stories up, sees him on the ground floor, propped up against the foot of their jaeger, either nursing a drink or trying to fall asleep. The scenario isn't particularly romantic, but still Tatsuya is reminded of a balcony and a leading man too busy napping to perform his part.

"Romeo, Romeo," he calls out, trying not to laugh and failing, "wherefore art thou, Romeo?"

Shuuzo rises to attention, his characteristic glare somehow still working from so far away. "Go back inside, Tatsuya." His drunk voice reverberates (the Shatterdome has excellent acoustics) and Tatsuya is struck with the need to hear it quieter, up close.

"I don't think I will," he sing-songs, already withdrawing from where he is. "Stay there. I'm coming down." Not that he thinks Shuuzuo is going anywhere, in that state of his.

When he's finally on the ground floor too, Shuuzou seems more awake, powered by righteous anger or something similar. "What're you doing? It's your party."

"It's our party," corrects Tatsuya, swiping the bottle from Shuuzou's hands and taking a swig as he sits beside him. "Felt kind of pointless without you, Shuu."

Shuuzou makes a noise that sounds suspiciously like 'tch,' like he's from an anime or something. "You know that's not my scene." Even in the dim lighting, he's flushed past the collar of shirt. Tatsuya can't be certain if it's just the alcohol's doing, which is why he keeps his hands to himself, stopping them from wandering over to Shuuzou's jaw to tilt his face towards him, or — somewhere more dangerous.

"I know," he says, leaning against Shuuzou's shoulder instead, not wholly comfortable but snug enough. "That's why I'm here."

Shuuzou makes the noise again; Tatsuya laughs, again, and hands the bottle back to him. It's no grand celebration, and there no crowds or congratulations, but Tatsuya prefers it like this, right here, the two of them alone in the relative darkness and the near-silence, pretending they're in the Drift.

(Neither of them speak anymore, like they're reading each other's minds, so maybe they already are, so that's good enough for him.)

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight.

What I meant when I said no.
And maybe some things are that simple. When we're older- you'll understand.
You're giving me too many things lately; you're all I need.

It's hard to let it go. Hold me - whatever lies beyond this morning; is a little later on.
Wish I could prove I love you - but does that mean I have to walk on water?

Here's the thing.

He and Tatsuya have been piloting together for more than a year now, and have been friends for even longer, so he doesn't have a damn clue how Tatsuya's managed to keep all sorts of mysteries from him, even in the Drift where everything should be laid bare. They're nothing too big, nothing that will hamper their mission or endanger their connection — which somehow makes it even more infuriating, because if they really were that big of a deal, he'd understand why Tatsuya would keep them from him. Instead, they're little white lies, secrets Tatsuya tells to smooth things over or throw Shuuzou offguard, the way he hid what he got Shuuzou for his birthday in their room and in his mind as if it were simple and not an obstacle course he's had to overcome to make certain Shuuzou didn't hear a lick of it while they were connected. It's unfair, Shuuzou will insist, because he doesn't even remotely have the same control over his mind the way Tatsuya does. He can't keep himself from thinking certain things in Tatsuya's presence, like the time he'd accidentally, unfortunately, revealed his first thoughts upon meeting Tatsuya ("how is he so fucking beautiful?") and had Tatsuya laughing for weeks.

It's unfair, because here's the kicker: he's pretty sure he's in love with Tatsuya, and even with the cheat sheet the Drift provides, he has no way of knowing if Tatsuya is in love with him. Like peeling paint, revealing layers upon layers of colors underneath, or like something his sister once asked that he had no answer for and still doesn't ("how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"), Tatsuya has too many walls surrounding him that Shuuzou can't even begin to consider unraveling him to the core. The prospect is as tempting as it is terrifying, because maybe that's just the way Tatsuya's built: to be as infuriating and mysterious as possible to Shuuzou, personally.

And he is just so goddamn tired.

It's been more than a year of dancing around truths, of little moments blown up to something big in the flashback screen of Shuuzou's memories, and he can't help that it's been on the brain for this long, this fervently, that it spills over slightly when they're in the midst of battle. It's not jarring enough to be distracting, he's more trained than that, but the clarity of it is so vivid in their shared consciousness that it's enough for him to regret.

Tatsuya, unsurprisingly, has no visible or audible reactions to the fact, his concentration as faithful as ever, unlike Shuuzoi's traitorous brain. Thankfully, the slip-up is forgotten until the after the kaiju's been defeated, the visor of their jaeger smeared with vibrant blue blood, blocking the view of the outside world and painting the interior of the cockpit in blue.

Like they're underwater, or a more tangible manifestation of the Drift. It's then, and only then, that Tatsuya finally opens his mind to Shuuzou's completely, right before unstrapping himself from his post and removing his helmet to flash Shuuzou an unfairly dazzling grin.

"Shuu," he says, stepping closer to remove Shuuzou's helmet for him, too. "You could've just asked."

"Knowing you, you would've had me spinning in cir—"

He doesn't get to finish the thought because Tatsuya's mouth is suddenly pressed to his own, soft and warm and wet — and is that his tongue? — and though they're no longer in the Drift and Tatsuya isn't communicating with words, Shuuzou decides that yeah, this answer... this confession, because what else could it be? is good enough for now.

There's something incredibly powerful about having a dragon want to give you ownership of them, Yukio thinks to himself as he looks at Ryouta, kneeling on the floor in front of him, a collar buckled around his neck.

"I enchanted it," Ryouta tells him with a smile. "So that even when I'm in my full dragon form, I can still wear it."

"That's…" A lot, Yukio thinks to himself. It's a little overwhelming to think that Ryouta wants a collar this much in the first place. Instead, he opts for, "Clever."

Ryouta preens under the praise, and Yukio reaches for the collar, curling his index finger into the D-ring and just keeping it there for a moment, watching as Ryouta tilts his head up to allow him the space that he needs.

"Tell me what you want," Yukio murmurs. "Start with what you want from your collar."

"I want a way to have you mark me," Ryouta replies, his voice soft and breathy. "My skin heals too quickly for you to leave lasting marks the way that I really want, and you don't have the magic to brand me."

"You want everyone to look at you, and know that you belong to me." Yukio's head is still spinning with it. Every single person that Ryouta comes across will know that he belongs to someone, even if they don't know who. They'll all know that Ryouta is spoken for, that he's proud to show it off, and the thought makes Yukio happier than he expects.

"What else do you want?" Yukio prompts, stroking his fingers along Ryouta's jaw.

"Push me around," Ryouta hums, shutting his eyes with a smile. "I like when you do that. Pull me along by my collar. Get me a leash."

"A dragon on a leash?" Yukio asks, keeping his voice even in an effort not to betray the fact that his heart is pounding at double time just thinking about it. "Are you sure? I'm going to drag you to your knees whenever I want. I'm going to tie you up and leave you there to wait for me. I'm gonna pull on it so much when we're in bed, Ryouta."

"I want it," Ryouta tells him eagerly. "All of it, Yukio, please."

"You're such a spoiled little brat," Yukio says fondly, as if he isn't the one who was just effectively given a dragon on a leash and collar, to do with as he pleases.

"You love me," Ryouta replies, and Yukio sighs, thumb stroking over his lips in a gentle caress.

He really does.
