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.

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each

Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

why are they like this

***

“Hey, Bakagami.”

Kagami stops writing, but only to shove his earbuds further in.

“Oi.”

Algebraic formulae swim across his vision like bizarre sea creatures, melting down the sides of his notebook (filled with more chicken-scrawl and doodles than anything academically useful) and crawling along the edge of his desk. He gives up; surely whatever Aomine has to say can’t be more confounding than his math homework.

“What.”

Aomine’s half-hanging off the top bunk, cross-legged, clutching a pillow. He’s staring at his phone with the kind of concentration reserved only for basketball or gravure magazines, not for the homework he said he would do. Kagami waits.

“Is it possible to feel like a sandwich?”

“…What?”

“Is it possible,” Aomine repeats, slowly—as if reprimanding Kagami for not having listened properly the first time instead of him having said something completely inane—and looks up, patting the fluffy white pillow on his stomach. “Like, look…a mattress…is just one giant pillow for the body. So, if I put another pillow on top, won’t I be a sandwich?”

If it had been to ask for a one-on-one study break down at the court—since Aomine hasn’t touched a single page of his homework since he came over—Kagami wouldn’t have said no. He wouldn’t have said no to many things to get away from the dreary wasteland of his mind trying to decipher ancient Greek letters. But: “What the fuck, Ahomine.”

“I’m asking you a fucking question?”

Kagami exhales, pushing the papers and textbooks away from him. “Look, if you’re hungry, you can just say so.”

“I said I feel like a sandwich, not I want a sandwich.”

“Whatever,” Kagami says. He stands up and grabs his keys. “I’m hungry, and I’ll be damned if you’re just gonna yap about sandwiches next to me without me having any.”

-

Neither of them bring their homework to Maji Burger (Kagami’s mental functions have pretty much given out for the night, and he’s not quite sure Aomine has any to begin with.)

“Look,” Aomine says, way too seriously, as he carefully unwraps a teriyaki burger. “People…are like sandwiches.”

Beneath the table, Kagami texts a desperate plea to Kuroko, cc’d to Momoi.

“I don’t mean literally,” Aomine continues, prying the bun off the burger (Kagami stares in horror, moving his own pile of fifty cheeseburgers a few centimeters back from harm’s way.) “Sometimes you’re in-between two choices, yeah? Two people. Two…spaces. Two buns. So like, you’re all this stuff—the teriyaki sauce, the meat, the works.”

“Uh-huh.”

Kagami knows he isn’t the smartest when it comes to books, but this—if Aomine’s on something, Momoi would probably know, and if she knows she would probably tell him, right?

Right?

“And sometimes—“ Aomine continues, replacing the bun with a dramatic sigh, “—sometimes, it’s a good thing. Being a sandwich. You’re all warm and toasty inside—“

Kagami’s phone buzzes, and he looks down to see Kuroko’s timely reply: I think he’s trying to confess to you, Kagami-kun. Aomine-kun can get kind of weird with his metaphors.

“Are you trying to confess to me?” Kagami says out loud, incredulous.

Aomine fumbles his burger. “What?”

“N-nothing.”

Another buzz. Try doing this., and then a link.

“Oi, are you even listening—“

Kagami reaches over reluctantly, after dismembering one burger, and places one bun each around Aomine’s ears.

Aomine freezes, looking up at him like a cornered cat. “What the fuck, Bakagami.”

“Look, Kuroko told me to do this, and then you’d shut up,” Kagami says, his face very quickly heating up at realizing too late he’d probably been duped. Aomine looks offended at first, but it quickly turns into something else as Kagami leans in even further. “S-say it.”

“Say what.”

Kagami inhales.

-

[sent] kuroko what the fucking
[received] I will trust that whatever happened resulted in a suitably happy ending.
[sent] what
[received] Since Aomine-kun has not come crying to my doorstep yet, I mean.
[sent] kuroko i hate you he’s so stupid he cant even figure out idiot sandwich
[received] Which means you’re well-suited for each other.

[received] Good night, Kagami-kun.
[received] Also, congratulations.

Ship: Miyuki Kazuya /& Takigawa Chris Yuu OR Miyuki Kazuya &/ Kuramochi Youichi OR any Miyuki ship u wanna play around with tbh
Fandom: daiya
Major Tags: none
Other Tags: none

Prompt:

"So love and marriage - are they incompatible?"

"No. But I have been told that one does not imply the other."

- Lucrezia & Cesare Borgia, The Borgias, Episode 1.3

Oh definitely! It's the reason why I'm a multi (and crack) shipper by default now. :D My favorite one is Inui/Kikumaru, primarily because I used to roleplay and was fortunate to meet the most amazing Inui muses. I also like Inui/Tezuka, Atobe/Tezuka, Momo/Kaidoh, Atobe/Hiyoshi, and Yanagi/Kirihara. But then because of the number of characters, the friends I've met, and depending on my mood, I get obsessed with the most random combinations sometimes like Sengoku/Atobe and Tezuka/Kajimoto. Or I'll revisit old favorites like Akutsu/Dan, Mizuki/Yuuta, and Atobe/Tezuka/Sanada. So, I'll try anything PoT-related, really.

One of my favorite stories is your Atobe/Momo! I don't think I'll ever be able to replicate the feeling I had when I tried the pair for the first time, and found myself convinced because you portrayed them perfectly. Like, I wish there were more stories centered on the ship, but then I personally don't know how I would write them convincingly.

~~I fell in love with Chris all over again because of how you write him! And my god your Celestino is the sexiest. How did that even happen?!~~

"I didn't fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway. And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you." - The Chaos of Stars, Kiersten White

I hope this fulfills your prompt well! Thanks for prompting such an awesome pair!

***

Yuuji is absolutely sure that Daichi is the perfect subject for his end of year photography project, and he’s fully prepared to do whatever he needs to get Daichi to agree. The first thing he gets is a large of Daichi’s favorite coffee, and times it specifically to when he knows that Daichi has just run out. The second thing he gets is a fresh, warm blueberry muffin, slathered in butter, what Daichi has always decreed as the best snack possible. He claims that it’s still healthy, because it’s ‘made with blueberries, Yuuji’ and all the carbs and butter don’t matter in the face of fruit. It’s really the only unhealthy thing Daichi lets himself get away with, so Yuuji doesn’t mind spoiling him with it.

Then he’s off, treats in hand, to find Daichi’s favorite studying spot, a worn bench secluded in a grove of trees just behind one of the administrative buildings. The bench itself is so worn that it’s closer to the ground than any bench has the right to be, and yet still high enough to still be considered a bench, and Daichi fits perfectly comfortably on it. Yuuji can kneel next to it and still be at a decent height, and that’s what he does when he arrives to Daichi quietly reading a textbook in the dappled sunshine.

“Hey Dai.” Daichi looks up with a tiny smile that gets bigger when Yuuji holds out the still hot cup and the little brown bag.

“Yuu. What’s this?” His eyes light up as he opens the bag, and the grin that stretches across is almost enough payment, but Yuuji really needs his agreement.

“I need a model for my end of year project, and I think you’d be perfect.”

“Okay.”

Yuuji opens his mouth to argue his case, and nearly bites his own tongue when Daichi’s answer actually processes. He squints at him suspiciously, though all Daichi is doing is chewing a bite of muffin. “Okay?”

“Sure.” A sip of coffee. “You don’t need me to do anything weird, do you?”

Yuuji squints some more, confused about why it’s so easy. “No. Nothing in particular, really.”

“Okay.” Then he presses a kiss to the tip of Yuuji’s nose and goes back to his muffin and his book, nonchalant as ever.

The next two weeks are absolutely terrible. He manages to take so many shots of Daichi he could wallpaper his bedroom with them, and yet while they ‘re all theoretically perfect none of them are good enough for him to submit. His professor reviews a few to tell him if he’s on the right track, like she does with everyone in the class, but she just shakes her head at the ones he has, the best of the bunch. She tells him to try again, and that he still has a week left to get it right.

Daichi agrees, and tries to convince Yuuji to take a break, to relax and not worry about it, but if Yuuji fails this project it will affect his grade tremendously, even though his grades are actually very high. Still, Daichi sits and lets Yuuji rearrange him into pose after pose, lets him fiddle with lighting and shadows and other things that he knows Daichi barely understands.

And he gets a ton more pictures, a mass of Daichi in every possible incarnation, and while they’re all gorgeous and technically perfect, there’s still something missing. Yuuji is whining about it sitting next to Daichi on the couch, camera in hand, until Daichi tugs and causes Yuuji to flop over in his lap. He can’t help pouting, but that only makes Daichi laugh, and Yuuji smiles before snapping one last picture and tossing the camera gently onto the armchair.

Daichi puts on Yuuji’s favorite movie and runs his fingers through his hair until Yuuji is an inch from falling asleep, warm and pliant and unmovable. He relaxes for the first time in weeks, and he can feel how refreshed he is when he wakes in the morning. He’s determined and cheerful as he retrieves his camera, checking the pictures he’s taken the day before. They’re all perfect like the ones before them, and Yuuji is almost disappointed, until he gets to the very last one.

The last one is nothing close to perfect. The angle is ridiculous, and the lighting is half off, causing odd shadows, and there’s nothing that could be considered any type of purposeful composition. Still, it’s the one he was waiting for, the one he was trying so hard to get, only pushing it further and further away the harder he tried. This one is Daichi in all his glory, his bright grin and half closed eyes, laughing down at Yuuji with the fondest look on his face that Yuuji’s ever seen.

He turns it in that day, not bothering to wait for the official project deadline. The full marks he brings home the next day pulls that grin up on Daichi’s face again, even while he teases Yuuji with a ‘told you’ that Yuuji is only too happy to hear. And while the other pictures of Daichi are gorgeous, they don’t live up to Daichi at his best. They’re boring portrayals of a person that is anything but, and Yuuji’s glad he finally managed to capture the life he loves.

Ship: Kageyama Tobio/Oikawa Tooru

***

Tooru is fourteen years old and he is a boy brimming with potential. There is already talk of him being awarded the title of best setter in the prefecture, and he hasn't finished growing yet. He'll be taller, stronger, an even more powerful player on the court. It's just a matter of time.

But the important part of this is the simple fact that he is a boy. No more, no less.

Not how Tobio treats him, like he's something to be gawked at, with that annoying expression of his, wide-eyed like he's trying to absorb everything he possibly can without saying a single word. It's irritating, but it's even worse when Tobio follows him around, full of questions, eager to learn, eager to be just like his—idol, Tooru thinks, and there's no doubt that it's a title that he would lord over anyone, given half the chance, but it doesn't sit well with him when it's Tobio admiring him.

So Tooru brushes him off. It's easy, when they're in direct competition with each other anyway. Only one of them is needed on the court at any given time and it makes them natural enemies. Tobio's existence is incompatible with his own. Tooru hates him as naturally as breathing, but it doesn't feel like the kind of hatred that he feels for anyone or anything else. It's the kind of hatred that feels like a pebble that has lodged itself in his shoe and every single time Tobio looks his way, Tooru can feel that pebble dig into his skin a little more, insistent, irritating, idolising.

•

Tobio is fourteen years old and he is a king with a heavy crown and a resentful kingdom. His teammates have given up on him and he grits his teeth, fingers digging into his palms as he tries not to listen to the way the coach mutters to himself about the way Tobio had been such a promising boy. He doesn't want this. He doesn't want the failure, he doesn't want the crown, and he doesn't want the title.

All he wants is to be on the court, and he looks up, stomach sinking as his gaze drifts over to the spectators and he locks eyes with Tooru, leaning against the railing with an expression that would look bored to most people, but Tobio has seen it enough times to know that he's being critical. He's looking at the situation in front of him and pulling it apart and figuring it out.

Tobio lowers his head, following the rest of his team off the court. He thinks he understands.

Ship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov
Fandom: Yuri!!! On Ice
Major Tags: None
Other Tags: Anxiety
Word Count: 410

***

At some point, Yuuri's anxiety stops being something that Victor feels like he needs to tiptoe around.

It never fully makes sense to him, the way that Yuuri can be so talented and yet so unsure, how he can know he has he skill for something and still not be sure of himself as he does it. It doesn't make sense because it's not something that Victor has ever experienced, but at the very least, he learns to make sense of that.

He learns to recognise the signs; he can read the tension in Yuuri's shoulders now, he can tell the difference between a long day of training taking its toll on him, and the slow but steady pile up of all the thoughts that are threatening to overwhelm Yuuri. He learns what he can do in those times, the way he can place a gentle hand on Yuuri's back and reassure him, or if that doesn't work, then distract him with something entirely unrelated until he gets Yuuri's mind off whatever's troubling him in the first place.

And sometimes, Yuuri's anxiety gets to him and Victor learns that it's not the end of the world when it does. It doesn't mean he's failed. This is just something else that needs to be handled, in a different way, and Victor learns that too.

("You don't have to do this," Yuuri will say sometimes, sounding miserable, his head between his knees as Victor rubs soothing circles on his back.

Victor doesn't reply because there's no need to. All he needs to do is be there, staying right by Yuuri's side, so that Yuuri realises that this isn't going to change. There's no need to argue his point because Yuuri isn't looking for an argument here, he's just seeking reassurance, and Victor has plenty of that to give.)

It's not about curing Yuuri's anxiety. There's no easy fix to this sort of thing, and there's no difficult fix either. It's all about managing it, and so Victor does, the same way he manages anything else that is thrown at him. He loves Yuuri, the same as he would anyway. This is exactly who he fell in love with in the first place and Victor would give the world for him, just for a smile, maybe for even less.

"You have me," Victor tells him, as Yuuri snuggles against him, face pressed into the curve of his neck. "That's never going to change."
