Bonus Round 4: Quotes

[referees]

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.

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 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).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

what a great quote (and what a great ship)

***

There's a moment on stage when everything goes bright.

It’s the opposite of how it is, JJ imagines, when people say everything goes dark, the opposite of what it is to pass out; the lights are hot and they are electric through his body, lyrics thick in the air as he belts them out at the top of his lungs. The entire stadium is on their feet. His name is a hypnotic chorus, his own name, and the music washes over him like a prayer.

There’s a moment on stage that JJ knows intimately.

It’s not his first rodeo, playing with a band. He could kiss the spotlight that finds its way to him now, casts him in dazzling relief, and he could wear it on his lips for days to come. His every word, every idle boast laced with that careless confidence, a gilt-edged glamour that’s sweet as syrup.

The ice is cold, a cruel, exacting mistress. This is different. So JJ soaks it up, drinks it in, until his parched throat is a burning desert and he cannot tell where one thirst ends and another begins.

As the anthem soars to its heady peak, a flower flies across the stage and lands at his feet. It’s no blushing rose wrapped in cellophane. It’s a gerbera, bursting into orange flame, and when he looks down, there’s Isabella at the front of the mosh pit.

The wandering lights catch silver at her throat, for a moment, the pendant glittering starlike against her pale skin. Her lipstick is a rich wine-red.

JJ doesn’t miss a beat, doesn’t pause to pick up the flower, for he is a consummate performer and he knows Isabella will understand. She will understand even if it gets trampled in the rush of things. She probably expected it to be. Lord knows, she’s used to broken things, being with him, and he would never take it for granted, he would never take anything about her for granted. But his apologies and his gratitude are a cocktail that tastes like diesel fire in his mouth.

He can do anything, he knows. He is impatient and restless to do everything, to carve his initials across the sky; if he cannot do it in comets and constellations, if he cannot do it on the ice—

This is where he’ll do it, then. It’s not the victory tour he thought it’d be, but he’s still standing, his voice like rough glass put back together from all those tear-stained shards. Piece by piece, by hand.

There’s a moment on stage when JJ feels his heart beat true again, bleeding honest and open with nowhere to hide, and it’s when she says his name. He can hear her, clear as a bell among the chants of the crowd. JJ. JJ. JJ.
