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.

FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, A2, T
Other Tags: amniotic fluid, childbirth
Word Count: 499 words
Prompt: now you've crowned yourself one final perfect time
***
He was born crowned by blood, red purer and clearer than the hair he would grow. The nurse wet a cloth and cleaned him, scrubbing inside the delicate shells of his ears and in the folds of his fat little body. She cleaned him of his mother’s blood and did not think it was an omen.
After all, all babies are born blood-crowned.

Maji Burger was holding some sort of promotion, giving out free paper crowns with certain orders. The crowns were cheap yellow cardboard with colored diamonds for gems, but when Akashi’s order came with one, nothing would do but that he wear it. His teammates insisted, Kise laughing while Aomine brandished it and Murasakibara agreed with them. Only Midorima and Kuroko held themselves apart but it was Kuroko’s smile of amusement that finally convinced Akashi to wear it.
When he put it on, Kuroko smiled even wider and without thinking, Akashi smiled back.
*
They won the Inter-High and his team jubilantly named him KING OF THE COURTS. When they got back to school, there was a party; Akashi permitted it because such revelry is good for team morale. It will boost their eagerness to outperform themselves at the Winter Cup.
At some point during the party, Hamaya called for silence and after a while, an expectant hush fell on the crowd.
Reo presented Akash with a trophy made just for him to celebrate their first-year captain and King of the Court. The trophy, which came in a large jewelry box, was a crown. It was made of some sort of light metal with multiple fake jewels studding it, spiked tall and shining.
Akashi looked at it for a moment and then put it on, remembering another crown and somewhat confusedly missing the smile that had come along with it.
The crowd cheered for him as unthinkingly, Akashi searched the crowd for someone who would not be there.
*
Japan didn’t allow same-sex marriage so they flew overseas for the ceremony. They’d discussed every single detail of the wedding plans in excruciating detail, Akashi even hiring a company to help arrange the wedding venue and details, but the crowns were a last minute touch.
The florist was a friend of Kagami’s. In addition to delivering perfect bouquets and vases full of fresh blooms, she’d also created two flower crowns for them. Apparently they were trendy now.
Koroko had affixed the boutonniere to Nigou’s collar and then without pausing, he’d swept the white crown of baby’s breath atop his head, accidentally placing it as a rakish angle. Akashi adjusted it for him and then smiled to himself at how well it suited Koroko.
Without being prompted, he picked up the crown of ivory leis and placed it on his own head. He looked in the mirror to make sure it was straight and caught sight of Kuroko as well.
Oh. That was what had been missing from all those other crowns. He’d never had Kuroko crowned with him as well.
Re: FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, A2, T
THE CROWN OF BLOOD IS SO SUITED TO AKASHI but then it gave way to increasingly more tender examples. the one in maji burger made me smile specifically and i sort of wish i could see it in canon now. /nothing would do but that he wear it./ ofc little emperor, ofc
and then the wedding flower crowns ;;; i didn't expect it to go this route at all so it was a lovely surprise and an even lovelier picture to imagine. thank you
Re: FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, A2, T
IT NEARLY ENDED WITH AKASHI'S CORPSE IN A COFFIN GETTING A FLOWER CROWN PLACED ON HIS HEAD BY KUROKO'S WITHERED AND LIVER-SPOTTED HANDS!
...And then I decided that nooo, come on, that's too violent a mood swing, let's end it sweet as a surprise for Bent! It's like getting a whole box of teeth and finding a foil-wrapped chocolate in there for some reason!
Who knows! Maybe someone will draw the Maji burger thing for a remix round. XD I just liked the idea of them messing around and being kids. And researching white flower crowns to see what would suit them was fun too.
Thank you for the lovely comment! You're making me smile SO MUCH over here.
