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).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Calling an evil genius dumb or trying to bully them is a really bad idea. Especially when said evil genius has an equally evil and equally genius boyfriend. Warnings for bullying & violence.

“You’re a little bitch, aren’t you, Hanamiya-kun?” Her voice rang out so loudly that even Imayoshi, who’d been walking out and was just outside the classroom door, could hear her clearly. “Cozying up to the upperclassmen like that. He must think you’re a real drag.”

The harsh accent immediately identified her as the new exchange student but Imayoshi would’ve guessed that anyway. Nobody else would be stupid enough to pick on Hanamiya.

Hanamiya’s laughter echoed through the suddenly-quiet room. “Imayoshi-senpai? And how do you know him well enough to know what he thinks of me?”

“I know boys like you from my school.”

Imayoshi shifted a little so he could see the slim, brown-haired girl who had her hands on her hips as she continued, “You’re nothing but little brown nosers. You suck up to the upperclassmen because nobody in your grade likes you.”

Had it been a few months ago, before Hanamiya had revealed his real self, the class would have been full of protests from students who thought that Hanamiya was the best person ever. Now, however, the silence of the room was that of a crowd waiting for the guillotine to fall.

“You’d know all about being disliked, Haruko-chan,” Hanamiya said almost lazily, as if she weren’t worth the effort of being angry. “You play the victim and accuse people so that people will feel sorry for you to hide the fact there’s nothing about you that’s worth liking. Did you sign up for the exchange program because everyone at your old school hated you too?”

Haruko raised her hands to her face, sobbing into them dramatically and loudly. “You’re so mean! I’m going to tell the teacher on you!”

“Go ahead,” Hanamiya said with that same cool indifference. “Everyone heard you call me a bitch.”

And while they might not like Hanamiya, they knew better than to cross him by lying about who had started it.

Imayoshi pushed the door open and sauntered in, giving Haruko a brief, incurious look. “Hanamiya - the others want to know if you’ll join us for lunch.”

Hanamiya smiled up at him from his desk, eyes crinkling in amusement. “Of course, senpai. I’m always happy for some intelligent conversation.”

As if annoyed that her hysterics were going ignored, Haruko cried even harder.

Imayoshi gave a little wave to Hanamiya and left the room. Hanamiya could deal with her himself.

Three days later, Haruko fell down the stairs and broke her arm.

Nobody signed her cast.
