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!

i am DEEPLY sorry
***
keep your hands on me.
furuya’s blood stains his fingers, too hot and wet and real. it’s a dream, let it be a dream.
keep your hands on me.
stay close to me. i’ll get us out of this.
“i told you i’d get us out of this,” furuya’s smiling, slack and listless. “i told you.”
“idiot,” eijun grits out between his teeth, “you liar.”
“i’m not. i’m not, you’re safe-”
“you’re not.”
“doesn’t matter.”
“does to me.” eijun dips his head, kisses that mouth for the last time. “does to me.”
furuya dies, and it’s quiet, and the ocean doesn’t sing for him, the sky does not weep.
just eijun, just a boy and a body in a dinghy in the middle of the unfeeling sea.
pirates, it had been, out of the depths with cannons, black sails, ravenous for the gold in the belly of the destroyer.
they made him a commodore for this voyage. his first and only at the helm.
he shone in the cannonfire, red light glinting off his medals and goldspun tassels. eijun stood in awe. felt invincible.
they carried precious cargo, riches of the crown, enough to buy them a comfortable life ten times over.
how stupid, for furuya to die over that. just trinkets, coins, and objects. not worth more than his life.
stay close to me as he threw eijun into the boat, stay close to me-
he tried to stay behind. to die with the scrap-wood of the ship, like a commodore ought.
eijun did not abide it, but it was too late.
there’s a gunshot, and a triumphant cackle, dirty hair shining green in the inferno.
pirate.
eijun shot him dead, and then three more times for good measure.
furuya’s blood is drying on his fingers now, tacky. the sunrise, illumination on the corpse.
he should throw it overboard.
lies down with it, closes his eyes, is what he does instead.
the pirate captain had spectacles.
eijun hopes he misses his first mate. hopes it hurts. begs forgiveness from god’s unbending back for hoping it.
silence.
he pushes the corpse into the water, asks forgiveness for that too. hates himself for taking furuya’s great coat, to cover himself from the sun.
if there is land he does not see it. he makes no effort in rowing. sleeps, starves. is parched.
dies, in that boat. fists clenched onto life, teeth grinding. don’t take me unless he’s there.
“open your eyes, eijun.”
Re: FILL: TEAM DAIYA NO ACE, B2, T
i'm so emotional :')))
don’t take me unless he’s there.
“open your eyes, eijun.”
c r i es this entire thing hurts so good and i love how your writing flows here, and the little bits of detail you've added without explicitly saying (like who the pirate captain and his first mate are OW) all of this is so good i gotta go lie down now! thanks for this fill!!

if anyone asked either furuya or sawamura that there was more to their relationship than just pure rivalry, it would have resulted in either quick but loud shouting from sawamura, or just a look in the other direction from furuya. they were rivals, sawamura kept telling them; and only rivals. nothing more, and nothing less.
or that’s they first thought.
at the beginning of their first year, where a good number of their counters mostly consisted of bickering (mostly on sawamura’s end, though), as well as both boys being extremely competitive. it was almost a given, since they were two pitchers striving towards the same goal: wanting to become the ace pitcher, as well as having the number that comes along with that title.
although the two were very different from each other, such as sawamura being loud and furuya staying mostly quiet, they almost felt very similar in a way. they would deny it as much as they needed to do so, no matter how many times miyuki would call them out on it, but it was as clear as day that both pitchers were alike, yet still different at the same time.
as time came and went, the relationship between furuya and sawamura began to evolve from pure rivalry into something like that of close-yet-not-really friends. sure, the rivalry was still there, and they were both still competitive as all hell, but it could be easily seen that they were also helping each other out; striving for the one thing that the other wants, but helping each other out and bringing the best out of each other.
after even more time passes, the two of them appeared to be getting even closer to each other, in both a literal and figurative sense (at least that’s what haruichi sees, wondering how everyone else is oblivious to his two teammates feeling like they were just a tad too close to be just friends). whenever they weren’t busy with practice or running around the practice field, sawamura and furuya were basically attached to the hip, never leaving the other’s sight.
it gave nearly everyone a shock with how two people that looked like they would absolutely never get along with each other upon first glance have their relationship turn out to be something like this. it felt almost hilarious in a way (especially to miyuki, who has had too much fun poking fun at his underclassmen for it).
so when haruichi catches a glimpse of furuya kissing sawamura, his hands cupping the southpaw’s face, he turns on his heel and walks the other way, not being surprised in the slightest.

It isn't part of Furuya's plans, the way they melt into each other so easily. The way Sawamura grips at the part of his shirt above his heart, stretching the fabric needlessly. The way said treacherous heart beats rapidly beneath Sawamura's touch. Responding to it without a thought.
But if the southpaw notices, he doesn't say a word about it. Instead, continues to grind against him, fingers digging into his back. Almost on purpose. Nips at his lower lip. Hisses beneath his breath that Furuya better hurry, because they're supposed to be back at the dorms by now. Haruichi might come looking. And, if he gets worried, he'll probably bring Miyuki with him.
This causes Furuya to tighten his hold. Causes Furuya to slam their mouths together again, if nothing else than to get Sawamura to shut up. He doesn't want to hear Miyuki's name right now. It's weird and wonderful, and wet. And, for the most part, it's going great. So great, he's going out of his mind. Furuya shuts his eyes, rocks them in place. Hears Sawamura grumble about hitting the back of his head against the wall. Buries his face in the crook of Sawamura's neck.
It isn't part of Furuya's plans at all. He only wanted to get to know Sawamura better. Only wanted to understand what makes him who he is. Only wanted to get a little bit closer. A little bit closer, really. Compete with him honestly, match him pitch for pitch. But plans fall apart, Miyuki had once told him. Had once told them. Grinning, tilting his visor towards the sun so that Furuya couldn't see his eyes.
Plans fall apart on the diamond. All the time, he has now come to realize. Whether or not he truly gets it. But whatever, he frowns, pulling his pants on. Tossing Sawamura his. Whatever. He won't think about it. Not now. And if he gets tempted, he'll tell himself that he can chalk it up to experience. It's just another way of settling a score. Another way for them to claw at the ace number Sawamura yearns for and, alternately, the number he isn't sure he deserves.
"You coming?" Sawamura calls out to him, putting their tires away. He spies the pencil Sawamura is hiding behind his back. Clucks his tongue. Sawamura labeling them won't keep Furuya from using the tires again. And Sawamura knows this, but continues to mark them. Again and again. Rinse and repeat.
