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.

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).

"you humans really do live such short and fragile lives, don't you?"

yuri snorts, elbowing otabek's waist. "is that really your way of trying to scare me?"

"no. it's just a fact, is it not?"

yuri scrunchs his nose and gives him a look of complete displeasure, the one he often makes when otabek is right.

otabek knows about humans and their lives here because he's watched the hunters from his thick forest grove for eons. a bear spirit like himself doesn't need to trifle with humans, and it would be more of a waste of his time to do so anyway - for every time he bothers to look, there are always new ones, different ones, with different hair and eyes and clothes and weapons. he can't be bothered to keep track when everything about them is never the same, and they could never see him anyway.

and yet, against all odds, it is yuri who caught his eye. yuri, who seemed too young even by the standards of men yet stood as strong and tall as any of the spirits of his own clan. it made him worth watching, worth speaking to, when the time was finally right.

"...is that a problem?" yuri asks hesitantly, bringing otabek out of his own thoughts.

he hums, considering that one.

"it can be changed." otabek says, ignoring how yuri sits up like a bolt at his side. "for a steep cost, of course, changing the flow of life is never a simple thing. it would deprive you of the things that make most humans happy, so it is not something i am asking of you."

"why not?!" yuri snaps, "i thought you wanted to be with me, like i want to be with you, so why wouldn't you ask it of me?"

otabek takes a deep breath - yuri needs more than paltry words to explain this, so otabek sits up and decides to show instead.

when he sits up he focuses his power, his body changing from a more human form to his beast one, hair down his neck and his hands in full bear claws. yuri holds firm, but the paleness in his face does not escape otabek when he leans forward to tower over him.

"because i would tear you apart first." his voice has changed to a low growl, his clawed hands dragging down the line of yuri's throat, down his chest, pressing in right over his heart. "i would crack open your body and take the heart right out of you before giving it to the forest so they could alter your body anew, leaving the old one for me to do with. you'd never get to go home - you'd become bound to these lands, a spirit left to wander and hunger like the rest of us."

he feels yuri gulp as much as he sees it, and otabek pulls back from his space.

"that's why i wouldn't ask." otabek's voice has returned to normal, his claws and fur disappearing. "though, if it's what you wanted, that would be something for you to decide."

yuri nods, saying nothing, but otabek can tell from the steel in his eyes he's already made his decision.
