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!

There's a beautiful boy in front of him. Kageyama can see dark eyes, brown hair, features he'd let himself call handsome—if not for the pair of horns curling on its head, telling him how inhuman the boy really is.
The boy moves, a jerk forward, but the chains hold him back. In the bright light of the demon's world, he can see a smile, fangs peeking out behind his lips.
"You're Tobio-chan, aren't you?" he asks and his eyes are ridiculously wide. "I'm Oikawa."
Oikawa's gaze feels like it's piercing through him and Kageyama shivers, words caught in his throat. He doesn't understand this mixture of awe and fear colliding in his stomach, but it's there, locking him in place. He doesn't remember the academy preparing him for this.
But they also tell him, the fate of the world is depending on him to get through this. Because if he wants to save anybody, he has to save himself first.
The curse loosens and Oikawa shakes his shackles off, standing up. He glides closer to Kageyama and Kageyama stumbles back, hands trembling around a sword. The grin on Oikawa's face is big, but his shadow even bigger as it eclipses Kageyama's body. And Kageyama notices Oikawa is taller than him, a sixteen-year-old with nothing left but the army and the clothes on his back.
"Tobio-chan," Oikawa croons. He leans in until their faces are mere centimeters apart, and the last thing Kageyama remembers before everything is—fangs, open.
(The fear, the fear, he is five again and his mother is holding a knife and coming after him as she screams obscenities at him; he is all trembling feet and chilled sweat; and she is shrieking demon child!, DEMON CHILD!)
(He is ten again and he remembers puncture wounds in his skin, the slice of his friend's neck before his head rolls on the floor, the way his throat burns as it bleeds bright red into the vampire's mouth; and the horror that seizes him, strikes him frozen and delirious.)
"Tobio-chan," Oikawa's voice sings as his hands slide up to hold onto Kageyama's face, then cup his neck. He leans in close until his breath is melting into Kageyama's skin, eyes bright red. His hands touch in a way that makes Kageyama tremble—the scrape of his nails along his jaw, the caress of a cheek.
There is a beautiful boy in front of him, and the last thing Kageyama ever hears is, "Can I have you?"
Re: FILL: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU, A3, T.
this scene is set so well, the uncomfortable glimpses of kags's past and then the eerily calm way oiks seduces him :)));;; he is beautiful and terrible, don't listen to him-! THIS IS COOL BUT CHILLING. THAT PARTING LINE.

Kageyama has never once thought about the demon that used to stand so tall, whose shadow has always engulfed him, crumbling before him. He walks closer and sees multitudes of arrows lodged in Oikawa's flesh, blood pouring from each of the wounds, and Oikawa on his knees, trembling to keep the weight of his own body from disintegrating into the Earth. Oikawa looks up at him slowly with red trailing down from his lips and for however weak Oikawa feels right now, his eyes betray a strength Kageyama has always witnessed growing up, bright anger piercing through Kageyama with just one hard gaze.
"Tobio... chan..." Oikawa says, so unusually weak that Kageyama even hesitates stepping toward him. He can feel the fear rattling his chest, trepidation making his bones shake. Oikawa the demon has always been better than him, from the time he found him as a young child wandering the woods without parents, to when they fought for Kageyama's right to leave the demon palace, betrayal in the clash of their weapons.
He remembers, of course. Oikawa had spent so much time teaching him, about the world, about defending himself. There were endless hours of archery practice, which he was naturally skilled at but could always refine, with him copying the way that Oikawa shot. Kageyama remembers the awe, the yearning tucking itself into his lungs and catching in his throat; of an Oikawa so tall and so powerful as he plucked at arrows and released them with ease.
A weapon that Oikawa gave him, and the weapon Kageyama's slain him with.
Now he is the taller one, grown out of Oikawa's teachings. The world is not as treacherous a place as he's learned; and he doesn't want it falling to Oikawa's clutches. Kageyama is old enough now to learn how to stop idolizing and chasing (with Iwaizumi by his side first, to tell him all the things about Oikawa that Iwaizumi cannot divorce himself from until later).
"I'm sorry," is all Kageyama says, spills out before he can even stop it. That seems to make Oikawa angry because there's a growl that tapers off, and he's trying to reach for Kageyama but he can't in his weakness. And Kageyama realizes once again, with a hard swallow, that those are his arrows spilling Oikawa's blood and destroying every blood vessel and organ he needs to live.
(Kageyama hopes Oikawa can understand—that he does still love him, and everything that he's ever done for him. But he loves the world more.)

“Messy, messy, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa chides. Like he isn’t flecked so prettily in red. Like he isn’t standing aglow in the flickering light of the street lamp, eyes blood red and dark though the white leather half-mask that covers his face — it’s a pretty thing, crowned in indented leaves, like he’s a wood prince that has somehow wandered here and gifted these dirty, wretched streets with his gentle grace. His teeth are bared into a sweet smile, and they’re sharp and white and threaded with leftover sinew. Oikawa always did like the chewy bits best, and Iwaizumi has been saving them for him since they were little kids.
Iwaizumi is crouched low against the street, both hands deep inside the stomach of the broken tangle of meat and bones that was once a Dove, swallows around a mouthful of liver — he always preferred the soft meat — and looks right at Oikawa, unimpressed. “Okay, Shittykawa,” Iwaizumi says, voice flat, as he reaches over, grabs a handful of Oikawa’s mint hoodie in his hand, and uses it to wipe at the blood smeared across his mouth.
“What are you—” Oikawa shrieks, slapping and struggling at Iwaizumi who starts to laugh against the now completely ruined fabric. “Stop it! This is so rude! I can’t believe this, after everything I’ve done for you, Iwa-chan! Terrible! Terrible!”
Neither of them had realised they had been marked by a Dove until it had been too late, cornered under the overhanging bridge with a devastating quinque that had irritatingly looked so much like a quick black wing of blades. (“Just like Tobio-chan to bother me even now,” Oikawa had sneered as he had lashed out with the full sharpness of his claws.) It had moved faster than they could keep up, and Iwaizumi had taken the full brunt of its blades in his guts before they could even unearth themselves from the walls rising behind them, trapping them in. Oikawa had been the one to finally take the Dove apart. Even now, even like this, Oikawa refuses to lose ground to upstarts.
Iwaizumi laughs low against the blood and sinew still smeared across Oikawa’s own mouth, Oikawa still huffing indignantly when Iwaizumi kisses him, salt and copper shared on the tongue like their first time ever together. You never forget your first shared kill, and the memory of it, soft and flavourful and gentle as the hand Iwaizumi had used to press the dead man’s meat so tenderly to Oikawa’s mouth, floods all of Oikawa’s senses again. He smiles against Iwaizumi’s mouth. He licks at the corner of Iwaizumi’s lip, where a bit of viscera hangs.
“Your turn for laundry then, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa says smugly, and doesn’t mind at all when Iwaizumi growls and bites into his mouth.
