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.

Kasamatsu loves Kanagawa, the city, removed from the chaos of Tokyo, but bustling. But there's something about the atmosphere in Miyagi, quiet except for the hum of cicadas, the tinkling of bells on passing bicycles, that makes him wish he never moved away. It feels like home here, a warmth that seeps into his bones, and sure, there are some things about the city he misses. But he's graduated now, and he only has the summer before he heads back into the seemingly endless maze of skyscrapers and tourists. He plans to make the peace of the countryside last as long as it can.
He's jogging through his old neighborhood, past the high school he nearly went to, different by a syllable and a character and miles away. The city can be overwhelming, but everything is in rich, vivid detail here, footprints encased in since-dried cement sidewalks, faded and new paint on houses, even the same stray cats (or ones that look similar enough) bringing up old memories he thought he had forgotten. His feet are moving, but he's still distracted, looking but not quite seeing the path in front of him, and he runs right into the bicep of a jogger heading in the opposite direction, knocking him out of his reverie.
“Shit,” He apologizes, stumbling back. “I didn't even see you, I'm so sorry--”
“Well,” laughs the jogger. “That's one way to greet me.”
Kasamatsu blinks, and there Iwaizumi is, grinning and pulling his headphones from his ears, tanned like it's the middle of August even though June has barely started. Sure, he had seen pictures on social media when he bothered to remember. But Iwaizumi is really taller now, broader now, only enhancing his quiet charm to what Kasamatsu is sure is a near lethal level. But all he can do is grin back.
“Long time, Hajime.”
“Yeah, and I ought to give you some grief about it; you couldn't text me?”
“Sorry,” Kasamatsu apologizes again as Iwaizumi bumps his shoulder with his fist. “Wasn't sure if you had the same number.”
And then it's just like three years never passed between them, Kasamatsu joining Iwaizumi on his route; both of their sports were cardio-intense in middle school, and they used to jog together just like this. But they can keep with each other this time, and even jog a little faster now, the soles of their shoes pounding pavement, almost racing to the hill where they had chased each other around in the summertime, where they sledded together in winter as kids. Kasamatsu’s heart is pounding, too, not just from the physical effort, but from the thickness in Iwaizumi’s arms, the way crinkles form at the corners of his eyes when he smiles wide. It's a crush he tried to squash at the end of middle school, but right now it's a burst dam, the water washing over him in waves, and even though he should call from help, well, he can't deny that it feels so damn refreshing.
He collapses to the grass, still cool and dewy on his skin, though the sun is rising higher. Iwaizumi leans over him, blocking it out with his body, eyes half-lidded. Their chests are both heaving, aching for breaths, and Kasamatsu pulls him in. Iwaizumi’s lips are chapped and warm, a perfect substitute for oxygen.

“Iwa-chan, did you see? There's a basketball tournament going on in the other set of gyms in this facility! Maybe your boyfriend will be playing!”
“Can it, Oikawa,” Iwaizumi hisses through his teeth, slowly burying his fist into his friend's side. “He's not my boyfriend.”
They had met after a game at a school in Kanagawa, where Kunimi and Kindaichi wouldn't stop talking about some star on the basketball team, rumored to be scouted by the NBA even though he was just a first year. Oikawa was intrigued, and there wasn't anything else for Iwaizumi to do, so the whole team went along to watch.
The audience was a pretty healthy size for a practice match, mostly girls, from what Iwaizumi bothered to remember. He could only assume that the NBA guy was the blond one, with the height and the flashy moves. But while that was fun to watch for a while, Iwaizumi kept finding himself drawn to the captain in blue, not knowing much about the sport himself, but being clearly able to see that he was guiding his team and making plays. He had called up to Seijou after the game--he had a friend on the volleyball team, and wanted to know the result. Oikawa inquired about the basketball team’s ace, with his penchant for pestering young talent, and somehow they had gotten to talking strategy outside the gym, swapping numbers and training plans.
The past few months have been tame, with texts about diet plans and school and how to help each other improve their verticals. Iwaizumi isn't much of a selfie guy; neither is Kasamatsu. They’ve talked on the phone, too, where the words flow better both of them. Iwaizumi likes listening to Kasamatsu go on about his sport, not quite understanding all the terminology, but smiling over the inflections that have become familiar in his gravelly voice.
They talk about their aces, moody and over the top, but still so damn talented. Kasamatsu complains about the girls that surround Kise. Iwaizumi jokes that some of them ought to notice him instead, and he swears Kasamatsu nearly chokes on his response.
And then they sometimes talk about each other, in softer voices later at night, when Iwaizumi has the lights turned off, about train tickets and touching each other, and that's becoming more common, but still infrequent enough that Iwaizumi can almost convince himself he's dreamed it, and he's okay with that.
Sure, he had thought about texting Kasamatsu when he found out Seijou was going to Tokyo. But he figured it would be a long shot.
But then he sees that familiar shade of blue walking around, and he can't stop his feet from moving. It's just his teammate; he doesn't know where Kasamatsu is, but hell, Iwaizumi has time to look before Seijou has to even begin thinking about warming up. He walks around some more, checks outside to be thorough; and then he finds Kasamatsu standing near Seijou’s own locker room on his way back.
“Oh.” Iwaizumi opens and closes his mouth, at a loss for what to say. “Hey.”
“I saw your school’s name on the board out front,” smiles Kasamatsu. “Hey.”
Kasamatsu’s game is at halftime--he still has time before he has to head back. They end up walking around together, looping back to Kasamatsu’s locker room saying much between them. Iwaizumi shoves his hands in his pockets out of habit, but then he sees Kasamatsu’s empty hands swinging with his walk at his sides, and he regrets it.
“Well,” Iwaizumi rocks on the balls of his feet for a second. “Good luck.”
Kasamatsu takes a breath, lips parted as he thinks about something. Then, he steps forward, gripping Iwaizumi’s shirt and bridging the ever so slight height difference between them with a kiss. He smiles against Iwaizumi’s mouth, an electric hum running through him.
“You better win.”
