Bonus Round 4: Quotes

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.

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!

***

They walk abreast, Aomine on the left and Kuroko on the right, falling into step with each other the way they always have. They don’t even have to think about it anymore; it’s the one part of their relationship that never goes away, the one thing that despite everything else breaking, eroding, rusting out, is ingrained in their muscle memories. Kuroko walks faster; Aomine walks slower; the paces of their legs match; the routes they tread are familiar even when they don’t know where the hell they are. This is the same.

It was the same at Teikou; it was the same when they fought; it was the same when they weren’t fighting anymore; it was the same when they teamed up again. It’s the same now, heading back from the practice courts, Aomine twirling the ball on one finger (another thing Kuroko hasn’t quite mastered; he’d had it for a little while but then stopped practicing and lost it, though he doesn’t seem too bothered by his inability here, and Aomine supposes it’s not quite relevant to basketball anyway).

His other hand is by his side, palm open, waiting for Kuroko to take it. Sometimes Aomine’s the one who makes the first move (and that doesn’t qualify as a move, more of an invitation that’s always open, even when he has both hands jammed in his pockets) but usually he waits for Kuroko, his more particular decisiveness. Today Kuroko doesn’t wait long, tucks his palm inside Aomine’s, small fingertips in the gaps between Aomine’s fingers, a custom fit Aomine’s so fond of.

He stops spinning the basketball and tucks it under his arm, and then squeezes Kuroko’s hand. Aomine’s not really a mushy sentimental guy, and Kuroko isn’t either; they’re not going to go on and on about how much they adore each other even if it’s pretty true. (Sometimes Aomine wants to, but it’s kind of embarrassing for both of them, so he doesn’t). But they both know it, even if the confirmation and the statement is nonverbal. It’s not something they need to shor through gestures, constant contact; it’s something that just is, like constellations in the sky or the Tokyo smog that blocks them from sight or the train schedule. It’s something that makes itself known in the way they walk, side by side, anywhere to anywhere else, Kuroko on the right side and Aomine on the left.
