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:

• 400 words (prose)
• 400px by 400px (art)

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!

i'm sorry for this sadness :') but thank you for the prompt!

***

“I thought I’d call.” Tooru stands in the hallway, facing the wall, phone pressed to his ear. It’s an old phone, with a cord that connects it to the wall, and he curls his finger in the coiled wire to give himself something to do.

He can hear familiar ambient locker room noise on the other end, boys congratulating each other and the rustle of fabric as clothes are taken off and put back on again.

“Thank you.” So many years has past, and so much has changed, and Tobio still sounds unsure when talking to him. Tooru wants to be angry, but he can’t blame him. They’ve come a long way, and they haven’t exactly taken the best road to get there.

“How was practice?” he asks quietly.

“Good. I was happy with how we did. I’m…” Tobio pauses, then says in a rush, “I’m excited for tomorrow.”

Tooru breathes in. Breathes out. “Good. That’s… good.”

There’s a pause, and Tooru can practically hear Tobio’s uncomfortable shifting before he speaks. “How about you?”

“What?”

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

Tooru grits his teeth, counting to ten in his head. Tobio’s just an idiot trying to be kind, he reminds himself. But it still feels like a slap in the face. Somehow, after so long, it still feels like Tobio is farther away from him than ever before.

I set for the national team now, Tooru. I’m going to lead them into a match. And judging by our stats, we’ll win.

What are you doing tomorrow?

“Nothing. You know. Helping my grandmother out.” The words come out a little choked. The worst part is that it’s the truth. The worst part, without any shadow of a doubt, is how Tooru doesn’t feel like he can lie to Tobio anymore. He clears his throat, rolling his shoulders back and trying to inject some pep back into his voice. “You shouldn’t be worried about me. You should be getting to bed. You have a big day tomorrow.”

“Right. I’m going. I just wanted to answer your call.” Tooru stays on the line as Tobio leaves the locker room, and Tooru thinks he could listen to him just breathe forever. “Well. I’ll talk to you soon.”

“I love you.”

He hears nothing but static. To be fair, he hangs up just a few seconds after he says it - but even those few moments of silence are too much to bear.
