Bonus Round 4: Quotes

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

An oldie but a goodie—in this round, we draw inspiration from famous words said by other people.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche
- The quote can come from almost anything—famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, etc.— but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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 each (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

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).

Vaguely fantasy/court AU featuring general Kinjou and who-knows-exactly-what Makishima.

***

The empire of Souhoku was small, but its army was strong. It wasn't concerned with expanding beyond the territory it already controlled, but it held its borders with an iron fist. Not even the strongest, largest forces sent against it had ever managed to break through the walls that marked the borders of its lands.

The secret to their military prowess was the greatest general, Kinjou Shingo. He was normally found in the capitol, receiving reports from the borders and adjusting troops accordingly, but when a greater threat approached, he would head to the walls himself. No enemy had ever lasted longer than a few weeks after he arrived, and for that, he had earned the nickname of The Snake of the Stone Path, for his appearance on top of the great stone walls was likened to a snake rising to strike. To everyone who saw him, he was invincible and unshakable, a source of great encouragement and morale to his own troops, and of fear to their enemies.

He wished that he had the same confidence in his decisions that others had of him. There was no time for second-guessing and hesitation on the battlefield, but when the fighting was over, then he would reflect on the battles that had played out. Victory sounded like such a celebratory word, but to Kinjou, it came as a footnote to the damage reports and casualty lists and death notice he'd sign with his own hand before sending them out to be delivered. After every victory, he wondered how he could have done better. What different orders could he have given that would have lessened the cost?

Deep in the heart of the imperial palace lay a circular chamber, bare save for an altar in its center. It had once been the heart of worship for the palace, but over the years, the palace had been renovated many times, and the temples had built more comfortable altars for their adherents. The original room now lay empty and largely forgotten, and it was here, where he knew he would not be disturbed, that Kinjou came when his doubts grew to strong.

He had visited enough times that he knew the room like the back of his hand, and he no longer bothered to light a candle when he entered, finding his way through the darkness by memory alone. The cold from the stone floor seeped into his legs. He pushed it aside and tried to center himself with the meditation he had been taught.

It was a battle against the thoughts that warred inside his head. Sometimes, he would make headway and find the beginnings of the rhythm of emptiness, but then a new thought would appear from nowhere and knock him back out of the pattern. Other times, the doubts piled on top of statistics and reports until they threatened to overwhelm him, and it was all he could do to hold his ground and not let them sweep him away.

Sometimes the tide turned in his favor, but just as quickly, it would turn against him once more, not letting him make any real headway. It was in the middle of this struggle that a voice said "I know the doubts that plague you." It was a voice that spoke from everyone at once and yet nowhere at all. One that resonated from deep within him with the roar of a thousand waterfalls and yet echoed with the high whistle of the wind through the trees.

Kinjou opened his eyes to a room that now glowed with a greenish tinge. The source of the light sat on the altar, somehow graceful despite its ungainly limbs. No one remembered anymore who Makishima Yuusuke was. His origins had long been lost to the sands of time. According to some legends, he was the guardian spirit of the empire. Others said he was the very spirit of the palace itself. Still others said that he was one of the Old Gods from a time before the nation had even existed.

Kinjou didn't care. All that he cared about was that Makishima was here, drifting down from the altar to wrap around him, incorporeal enough that he flowed around Kinjou like a blanket, but solid enough to hold him securely as no one else had in years.

"I know the doubts that plague you," Makishima repeated, his voice now barely more than a whisper. "Set them free before they consume you."

Kinjou took one last halting breath before he opened his mind, letting the walls he had so carefully constructed crumble into Makishima's waiting embrace.

Prompt:

Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that once stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart. — Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

***

“eijun,” haruichi says with preternatural calm, “you’re not going down there.” he’s got both hands clenched in fists, partially out of intense emotion (furuya knows this one, he’s borne the brunt of it before) and partially to hide a thin, paler strip of skin on his fourth finger.

“it’s our wedding ring,” eijun says, outraged. “harucchi, i swore my life to you with that ring.”

“right,” haruichi continues, sighing, “which is why your life is worth more to me than a ring.”

it hadn’t exactly been the trip of their dreams, this so-called cruise. furuya had won tickets and while being married to two people is a wiggly dance at the best of days, packing for two weeks on a boat that nobody could leave and on an ocean furuya couldn’t drown eijun in was, put simply, a nightmare. furuya had gotten sick on the cruise ship’s cuisine on night one, for starters. docked in a port city for the weekend, haruichi had wanted to experience the sea on the beach, and furuya had been enjoying a nap on the sun-warmed sand until eijun had started shouting. again.

“we’ll just replace them,” furuya points out, ever the voice of reason. eijun makes a squawking noise not unlike the one furuya’s heard from their cabin tv’s nature documentaries on birds of the okavango.

“it was special,” eijun whines, and takes up haruichi’s hand in both of his, lips brushing soft against haruichi’s knuckles. “i swore i’d love and protect you, and be a good husband always, forever and ever, amen--”

“i was there,” furuya reminds him, cutting short eijun’s misty-eyed journey to the past. eijun scowls at furuya briefly in response, but doesn’t stop massaging haruichi’s hand. which is, in a way, sort of intolerable, since from the start they’d always agreed that being possessive about haruichi was silly (not least because, naturally, haruichi was quite self-possessed).

“i can borrow some diving equipment from the cruise people and get it back! i promise.” eijun turns his sad, wheedling eyes to haruichi and furuya both, but when haruichi makes up his mind, it’s made. furuya scoots behind haruichi anyway; it’s always safest away from the splash zone.

“i don’t think the cruise people will want to loan us anything any time soon,” haruichi deflects. which is true, come to think of it; haruichi had tried fishing, for the very first time since he’d been a small child, and the ocean current had ripped the fishing pole from his hands, taking his wedding rings along.

“maybe we should stay home next time,” furuya says aloud, and haruichi nods, laughing.

“whatever,” eijun huffs. “i could have beat that ocean and gotten haruichi’s wedding rings back.”

“sure,” haruichi chuckles, and kicks sand over eijun’s feet. “whatever you say.”
