Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe

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
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.

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

Slim and slight, daughter of a business partner. Long hair, long legs, a smile like clear summer days. Smart and witty, wicked sense of humour and sharp tongue. Coffee over tea, very much a modern girl and loves travelling. Met during a society function where they danced and charmed everyone, predicted to be married within the next three years. Slightly superstitious, enjoys reading horoscopes over breakfast. Spirited and opinionated, wears flowers in her hair very often. Fiancé, marriage planned for next autumn.
Curvy and vivacious, friend of a friend. Loved chocolate milkshakes but hated chocolate ice cream, complaining they never tasted quite right. Secretary to a department head in her company. Terrible cook, could burn water but baked wonderfully. Best macaroons Akashi's had outside of Paris, stress baker. Blunt and straightforward, earnestly so. Played the guitar sometimes, would dance in the rain and drag Akashi with her. A bad breakup, but loved for her spirit and whimsy.
College acquaintance, majored in astrophysics. Tall, with a fascination for the stars and a passion for storytelling. Laughed a lot, also very knowledgeable about tea and tea ceremonies. Excellent taste in teas, with a fondness for white teas and flower teas. Quiet and observant, a thoughtful gift giver. Sister in London, whom he adored and spoke of very fondly. Hated having messes around, a tendency to stay up very late to stargaze. Kissed Akashi during a meteor shower in the middle of nowhere. Only other boy Akashi had loved, a mutual breakup. There are some regrets, but they are still friends.
Short hair and big eyes, class representative. Treasurer of the Student Council, confessed after a meeting for the winter term. Used to want to be a school idol, but never became one. Loved eating outside, despite the weather. Deathly afraid of thunderstorms and planes, but wanted to travel the world despite it. Plans to become a high flying finance director in a global company. Breakup just before graduation, a high school relationship that would not have survived. Lost touch after the first year of university, loved for her bravery and determination.
Middle school friend, vice president of the basketball club. Firm believer of horoscopes, always carried a lucky item with him. Long range basket shots, patience and dedication. Played the piano and shogi, persisted despite numerous defeats at Akashi’s hands (in shogi and otherwise). Very much a traditionalist, enjoyed having tea ceremonies where time permitted. A younger sister he cared for deeply, and watched out for. Alienated in high school, and the relationship never quite recovered. A bittersweet reminder of regrets and unfulfilled promises, a friendship that is as steady as a mountain. The first boy Akashi ever loved.

Re: Fill: Team Kominato Ryousuke/Kuramochi Youichi, B2, G
also for ten times the pain did u realize each of the people on the list had things in common w midorima :3c
Re: Fill: Team Kominato Ryousuke/Kuramochi Youichi, B2, G
Okay but for real. This is one of my very, very weakest weaknesses: the "what could have been" relationship, the bittersweet contemplation on divergent paths, unfavourable circumstances, and that feeling when you both know there might have, could have been something between you, but it never happened and you stayed friends and so much went unspoken. And with Akashi and Midorima, it's doubly wrenching because I can absolutely imagine them both keeping their feelings to themselves, observing proprieties and distances and that alienation that Akashi thinks about here so factually—but you just know that beneath all those layers you sketch out so evocatively, it still hurts. This hurts ;___;
Re: Fill: Team Kominato Ryousuke/Kuramochi Youichi, B2, G
akashi though he's definitely the type to catalogue things and where they go wrong and just softly yells they were always friends first and it is important to akashi not to lose that again, so better to observe the proprieties, better to skirt around another bomb, better to gloss over it, layer after layer until it all smooths over.
/carefully places a band-aid over the hurt

After a war comes the recovery, the aftermath of a disaster that has devastated everything. It is uneasy footing that Akashi finds himself on, trying to regain equilibrium of the befores and afters.
Basketball was the war, the Winter Cup their battleground. In the end, Akashi is left with more regrets than he’d ever expected to have.
Recovery is a slow process, apology after apology for his selfishness, though many of them have not been worded as such. Some are easy, Momoi’s cheer and good naturedness and Kise’s carefree dismissal winning out over past mistakes, Kuroko’s friendship always an easy thing. But apologies aren’t always enough, and there are some things he has said that cannot be taken back.
He tells this to Midorima, one night. Their friendship is still a delicate thing, uprooted and trampled, but now replanted and slowly learning to live again.
(He is grateful that Midorima still knows him well enough to understand that they do not speak of what had happened between them, but instead chooses to ask him about Mayuzumi instead.
“We don’t talk anymore, he said it wouldn’t be cool.” Akashi tells him. Midorima makes a considering noise in response. Akashi thinks he might be working on assignments while he’s on the phone; he’s never been the type to be idle after all.
“I still feel like I owe him a proper apology for the last year, and the way I used him.”
“So tell him.”
It’s not that simple, Akashi wants to say. But it’s not true, both he and Midorima know this.)
--
Sometimes, it’s on the tip of his tongue to blurt it out mid-conversation, one apology after another, a confession of fear. But he likes their current equilibrium, but he knows that saying it will upset the careful balance they have, built on things not said, or things he’s not yet ready to say, and things Midorima is not ready to hear.
Mibuchi had asked him what the apologies were for, in the shadows of the shrine Akashi came to sometimes. He’s been coming here more often now, after the Winter Cup. When he’d apologized to Mibuchi, Mibuchi’s smile was a bit rueful. “We all wanted to win as well, Sei-chan.”
“If you’re apologizing to seek absolution, perhaps you should not be apologizing.” is all he says when Akashi tells him about Midorima, in not so many words. Akashi mulls it over, and wonders if the apologies he has made is more selfishness on his part, or for the people he’s apologized to.
“I think he has to hear it.” Akashi tells Mibuchi, in the end. “And I have to say it, not for forgiveness, but because he needs to know.”
“But it’s easier to pretend that things are fine, no?” Mibuchi’s voice is knowing, and Akashi nods, even though he knows Mibuchi isn’t looking.
