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).

Discussion of organ harvesting, college fic, Hanamiya is terrible and Imayoshi is no better.

***

Imayoshi swiped through the profiles on Tinder idly, pausing when he found a relevant one to type the data into his spreadsheet. Occasionally he wished that he’d chosen to do his sociology project on Grindr instead, even if only because the eye candy quotient would’ve been higher, but that would have raised the eyebrows of his sociology professor. His own proclivities couldn’t be allowed to influence his coursework.

His mind was only half on the work, the other half on his boyfriend. While they were attending the same university and rooming together, they weren’t taking the same courses and--

His attention suddenly jerked to the computer.

I'm looking for a guy who is really trusting and healthy! You must have both kidneys, non smoker, and not be a big drinker or take any drugs that could damage the liver... Type O negative blood a plus!

Was that a joke? It had to be a joke. Nobody who was actually fishing for organ donations would be so blatant about it.

He screencapped the profile and sent it to Hanamiya, then went back to work.

Seconds later, his phone dinged.

HM: Oh, you found it.
HM: What do you think?

IS: Why am I not surprised you’re behind it?

HM: Because you know me.
HM: Intimately.

IS: What’s the point?
IS: You can’t really be looking for organ donors.

HM: No, it’s a study on the gullibility of guys who want to get their dick wet.
HM: I’ve got something similar up on every dating app.
HM: Changed the wording enough that nobody’s made the connection yet.
HM: So far, 15 of them actually showed up for a meeting.

IS: What class is this for?

HM: No class. I just knock them out, put stitches in their stomach like I took out their organs, then leave them in a tub of ice to wake up.

IS: And nobody’s reported you yet?

HM: And admit they were stupid enough to fall for such a scam?
HM: Especially when they didn’t actually have any organs removed?
HM: I don’t let them see my face anyway. I wear a mask and inject them the moment they step into the hotel room.
HM: The cops would have nothing to go on.

IS: Invite me along next time.
IS: I need a break from studying.
IS: And someone needs to keep you in check before you really do take someone’s organs and fry them for breakfast.

HM: Now you made me hungry.
HM: Want me to go out for dinner together?

IS: Give me twenty minutes. I’ll meet you at K’s.

HM: Wear a jacket. It’s cold.

The thought of how much Hanamiya must be scowling at having written something so caring made something warm blossom in Imayoshi’s chest.

It was nice to be loved, even if it was by a monster.

(But then, who but a monster would ever love a monster?)

i wrote this in between trying to read french and trying to find gas stations so i hope this still makes sense

***

Midorima speaks a little differently than most people.

Kazunari knows this. Midorima talks like he rehearsed everything specifically in his head before the word makes it out out his mouth. He chooses words meticulously, never wasting a breath, and when he speaks, he speaks in a straightforward manner, leaving no room for nonsense. (But he doesn’t speak honestly—at least, not with his words. His lips thin out when he’s displeased, his brows furrow slightly when he’s lost his train of thought, he pushes his glasses up when he’s embarrassed about what he’s just said. But by far the most telling of his features are his eyes. Kazunari is proud that he has the honour of learning the secrets to Midorima’s green, green eyes—it certainly helps that they’re nice to look at.)

Midorima talks with a purpose, and Kazunari rather likes listening to that surprisingly deep, idiosyncratic voice. But Kazunari finds that what he really likes are the things that Midorima doesn’t say.

Midorima won’t tell Kazunari good morning, barely giving a nod when Kazunari greets him. But he will stare at Kazunari’s open collar, mouth tilting down just a bit as he sorts through the drawers of thoughts in his head, and then scold him for being too noisy this early in the morning. Then, without pausing his impromptu lecture, Midorima will unwrap his own scarf and wind it around Kazunari’s neck. Not a single eyelash is batted. The scarf is always slightly warm, carrying the smell of Midorima: clean and fresh like the scent of the detergent his family uses, and something slightly lemon-y sweet. Kazunari would breathe in, and know he’s really saying, Keep warm, I don’t want you to get sick.

Midorima always responds to Kazunari’s mindless chatter with a serious remark, shooting down Kazunari’s wilder stories with immovable logic, most often ended with “-nanodayo.” But he never lets Kazunari’s question go unanswered, and when Midorima says, “You should focus more on pedalling than telling inaccurate recounts of your questionable experiences,” Kazunari knows he’s really saying, Be careful on the road, tell me more when we have time.

When the rest of the team has already filed out of the locker room, terrible disappointed scowls etched on their faces and tense silence hovering above them, Midorima tells Kazunari, “Hurry up,” but he turns his eyes away and doesn’t comment on the tears Kazunari gave up on holding in. Midorima stays with him until he manages to get a hold of himself again, and Kazunari knows he’s really saying, I know, I know, but we’re going to work hard, and come back better and readier than ever next year, together.

Midorima speaks a little differently than anyone Kazunari has ever met. He thinks too much about what he says, and isn’t very honest when he talks. But Kazunari has practice now in reading between Midorima’s thinly veiled lines, and when Midorima looks over at him and says, “Come on, Takao,” with that quiet sparkle in his green, green eyes, Kazunari knows what he’s really saying. And he’s fine with keeping those three little words their own little secret for now.

this is a quality not-fill

you know i will gladly eat up any miaou words :>

i love how quickly the rest of the team offer to stand in for throwing shogi pieces haha. even in something as short as this, every look is purposeful and heavy with meaning, and the last line brings something warm :''')

I've not only gotten texts about people being fucking WEIRD at sports (for example, being stupid shits and saying stuff like "what's kickball?" is not fucking funny), but I've gotten texts about people actually cheering for the opposing team. The opposing. Fucking. Team. ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!! I don't give a SHIT about sportsmanship, YOU CHEER FOR OUR GODDAMN TEAM AND NOT THE OTHER ONE, HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN TO A SPORTS GAME? ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?
