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.

I'M COMING FOR THIS BINGO DOING MY DARNDEST TO WATER THE PARCHED DESERT THAT IS STRIDE FIC
***
This was what it came down to: a rumble that echoed in the street, the diesel-slick smell in the air, and Kyousuke letting his hair down.
Heath leaned back, dug his heel into the brick wall and waited. Kyousuke took his time. He always did, except when he didn’t, and then the wind would change and he would be gone before Heath could blink, swifter than a murmur, than the sighs he left behind.
These days, Heath knew, he was learning to stay. To keep his feet on the ground, even if those restless eyes still sought the sky.
“How did it go?” Heath asked.
Kyousuke did not answer for a while. He sat on the edge of his bike, rested one arm on top of his helmet; in the narrow space between them, the air felt breathless, closer, and Heath could have reached out, reached forward to tuck those flyaway strands behind one ear.
“Tomoe seems happier now,” said Kyousuke, at last.
“Well, that’s good news. Did you ask him how things are with Riku?”
Kyousuke shook his head. “We mostly talked about Stride. And the weather.”
“The weather,” Heath repeated, drawing his brows together.
“It’s been a hot summer. We should go swimming again soon.”
“The weather. Honestly… that’s so like you,” said Heath, and chuckled to see the barest hint of a curve tilt at Kyousuke’s lips.
He straightened, peeled himself off the wall and turned to the vending machines next to him. For himself, a carton of milk, for Kyousuke, black coffee that came in a can, and he tossed it over his shoulder without looking, heard Kyousuke catch it easily.
“You could ask him about Riku,” said Kyousuke.
Heath popped the straw out of its wrapper with a crinkling sound, twirled it absently between his fingers. “I guess I could,” he admitted. “But you know, Tomoe never called me while he was abroad. Only you.”
It wasn’t like he was complaining about it, even as the words left his mouth. They didn’t taste tart on his tongue the way they might have. It was a fact, nothing more or less.
Kyousuke met his level gaze for a moment, then cracked his can open and took a slow sip of coffee. Heath watched him tip his head back, the slight bob in his throat, the shadow that he shrugged off with that movement of his. He wore it with such grace usually that it seemed a second skin, a tattoo like a kiss. Without it, the paleness of him still caught Heath by surprise; but it would be a mistake, Heath knew, to equate that part of Kyousuke with fragility, to think all those fracture lines would be enough to shatter him.
He remembered a promise, heated and sincere, to protect Kyousuke. He meant it, still. Yet, how far he’d managed to make good on it, he could not say. Perhaps it had slipped his mind that Kyousuke was fiercest in his imperfections.
“I was damaged,” said Kyousuke, his voice low. “You weren’t. Not like us, anyway. I think that’s what Tomoe thought.”
Heath let out a long, resigned breath.
“I’m no angel,” he said, to the sky.
Kyousuke smiled.
“I know that. You should tell Tomoe,” he said.
Overhead, a sliver of sunset lit their back alley ablaze, and Heath raised one hand to shield his eyes. It was no brighter horizon that he yearned for, he or Kyousuke, maybe Tomoe too; merely a corner they could turn together—the next stretch of wide open road—
Whether they would tear down it hand in hand, he did not know, but there had been a time when they had, and surely, surely, that would count for something.
Re: FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND, B3, G
i'm just yells a lot i think a lot about their friendship and how easily some of it slipped from their fingers, how Kyousuke remains their common point now i'm just quietly yells bye i am destroyed by this just, heath learning to reach out to tomoe as well, and tomoe learning to open up to heath, them being friends again slowly and tomoe learning to talk about important things properly, instead of the roundabout way he does with kyousuke im yelling lark
but just also the nuance that every friendship is different, even if they are between the same people, like the relationships between them are so different, the way they relate to each other just softly yells about this but also that last line, they did once, they might yet.
thank you for the lovely fill lark yells a lot just aaaaaaaaa <3
