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.

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).

Daiki wears shorts a lot, even when the weather isn’t quite appropriate. Satsuki’s first thought is that it’s unfair; her parents make her swap out her own shorts and short skirts over bare legs for pants and thick stockings as soon as they see the first red leaf in the fall. The second is, why does he? Even in the summer it’s occasionally cool enough for something longer, and even when they’re playing basketball they don’t have to wear shorts.

“Why do you wear shorts so much?” she asks.

“I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear,” says Daiki.

Satsuki supposes he’s got a point. They’re easier to pull on than something longer; he’s a boy so he doesn’t have to wear skirts but they’re usually more trouble than they’re worth, blowing up and earning Satsuki a scolding from her parents to be more careful not to show her underwear to the world. Shorts are cool in the summer; the kind they wear for basketball are light and breathable and not too tight around the waist. Daiki grows fast, and the same pair of basketball shorts last him all summer even though he has to get his pants let out or swapped for the next size up.

Satsuki stays over at Daiki’s house a lot; they stay up late in the back yard catching bugs and looking at the stars, trying to pick out constellations and planets through the city lights, because even when all the houses on the block are dark there's still enough from the rest of the city to block it. Or at least, that’s kind of how Satsuki’s grandmother had explained it to her; she’s not sure if that’s the truth or the kind of lie adults tell children when they don’t know something or don’t want to explain.

She forgets pajamas and a change of clothes; she’d been sent over with everything else, a fresh-baked cake as a thank you from her mother; her favorite teddy bear. It’s too late to go back over, so she just borrow’s a shirt and a set of Daiki’s old basketball shorts. Already, she has to look up to look him in the eye, but the shorts still fit her, soft and loose, easier to sleep in than her own pajama sets. Shorts are definitely the way to go, she thinks, as she drifts off to sleep next to Daiki, who’s already drooling and hugging her teddy bear.
