sportsanime | 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.

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).

So Aomine hadn’t really remembered the guys from that one time before. There are a lot of things that fell through the cracks what with the last year or so being what it had been. He remembers they were Touou guys, a couple of forwards and a couple of guards, and one of them had been kind of like a fox. Maybe it’s the short guy with the bangs and closed eyes, talking to Satsuki (better not be hitting on her; Aomine’s in no mood to watch that even if Satsuki will show him the way to the door with more grace and finesse than Aomine ever could, even if all the guy deserves is a punch in the dick). But that’s not quite right; that guy’s got to be in Aomine’s year.

The sounds of dribbling fade back into Aomine’s ears; even if it’s the first day he shouldn’t be here. He doesn’t need to make an impression; they saw him play. They know who he is, Aomine Daiki, so-called ace of the so-called generation of miracles. The less Aomine thinks about that, then, them, the better. He shouldn’t be at practice; he’ll show up for games, maybe. He doesn’t need basketball; he doesn’t need pointlessly showing up and making the rest of the team give up because they’re so far behind.

Glasses had been kind of cute, though. He looks too young to have been the fox at the gym, though it would be nice to show off for him.

“Aren’t you going to play?”

“Jeez, where’d you come from?” Glasses, as if to speak of the devil.

“You ought to pay a little more attention, Aomine-kun.”

So Glasses knows who he is. “And you are…?”

“You don’t remember? I’m wounded. I’m your new captain.”

Oh, shit, he’s got to be joking. But come to think of it, hadn’t the coach said that the fox guy that day was the new captain? Aomine had only been half-listening, his mind made up already. It had been him, but for some reason, Aomine only wants to show off now, and it’s hard to outdo that, especially when he really hasn’t been practicing.

But that’s okay, the only one who can beat him is him, after all, and he’ll raise that bar a little higher, impress Imayoshi all over again, make it so Imayoshi won’t be able to tear his eyes away from Aomine, so that Aomine’s the only thing he sees. Aomine’s up for the challenge.
