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).

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

oh, I love this. the tracklist is incredible, but the narrative from just the graphics and the sequence of them is what really makes this stand out. what a superb, creative fill.

Re: FILL: TEAM HIKARU NO GO, T

[princesssid]

Re: FILL: TEAM HIKARU NO GO, T

"Please don't forget that this is a demonstration for blocking, not for spiking," Tsukishima says, settling into a waiting stance as Kageyama and Hinata set up.

Hinata grins. "But to demonstrate the best block, shouldn't I give you the best spike I can? Blocking a shitty—"

"Language."

"—bad spike wouldn't help much, would it?"

Kageyama looks at him from the other side of the net and shrugs. "He's not wrong."

Tsukishima looks at them both balefully. "Just give me a spike, morons," he mutters. Louder this time, so it carries to the underclassmen stationed along the edge of the court: "Watch carefully—timing and positioning makes a difference." He nods at the duo opposite him. "Send me a few."

He gestures at Yachi, and she tosses up the first ball.

Tsukishima knocks down the first one with practiced ease.

Hinata, predictably, pouts.

"Again," he says, smiling despite himself. It never stopped feeling good.

Hinata's pout vanishes, and he reassumes his starting position. "You better be ready, Tsukishima."

Tsukishima wonders if Hinata knows it's near-impossible to ever prepare for him, if he knows that it's that precise trait that makes him both a joy and a pain to face off against.

Probably at least a little by now, he thinks.

But Tsukishima has had over two years to learn Hinata, to get in his head, to figure out how to best maximize his potential, and to know when the team's morale relied on him.

It's important for a captain to know his ace, after all, and to know his strengths—as well as his weaknesses.

Tsukishima gets a one-touch on the next one, but Hinata bests him the next.

Tsukishima flexes his hand, feeling the sting of the ball.

"Again."

Later, he'll have Hinata be the blocker (to prove a point about height—it's something Ennoshita did for the new recruits last year that Tsukishima is borrowing) and he'll just watch, taking in the flow of practice, taking note of performance as much as he can. Yamaguchi guides them from drill to drill, his patience an endless resource Tsukishima finds himself grateful for near everyday.

"Don't strain yourself," Yachi says from next to him, pen moving across her clipboard. "Your head looks like it might burst."

Tsukishima snorts. "With this team, sometimes it feels like it."

He's thinking of their senpai, of Karasuno's "rowdy" reputation, something that seems unlikely to fade anytime soon, even as new club members cycle in each year.

This year, it's Hinata at the center of it.

After practice, after Tsukishima has helped Takeda-sensei lock up, he meets Hinata outside the gym, where he's bickering with Kageyama about something. Yamaguchi stands off to the side, something like fondness just visible behind his exasperation.

Hinata stops short as he notices Tsukishima walk up, and he smiles. "Ready?"

"All set," he responds.

Hinata links his hand with his, and they start their walk to Ukai's shop, Hinata and Kageyama continuing their argument all the while.

They'll drag him in when they need a third opinion and Yamaguchi's isn't satisfactory, but for the most part he's quiet, enjoying the feel of Hinata's calloused hand in his, and the late afternoon sun on his face.

I was grinning from the very beginning because I just love everything about their dynamic but I was swooning by It's important for a captain to know his ace, after all, and to know his strengths—as well as his weaknesses. Everything about this version of them as third years works just great for me and I'll take whatever percentage of blame you want for you shipping them, especially when I get to read things like this. :D
