Bonus Round 4: Quotes

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.

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!

There isn’t much that Mayuzumi hasn’t seen in this line of work.

He’s quiet, works hard (or as hard as he tells himself to, anyway, which is more than enough considering he is the only one here), leaves the front end to those emotional feelsy types like Mibuchi. There’s nothing quite like the plaintive wails and fake sobbing of family members that gets on Mayuzumi’s nerves. At the very least, he’s glad for the thick, soundproof walls of the embalming room.

There aren’t that many privately-owned funeral parlors in this part of the country anymore, mostly because some of the dead simply do not stay dead for very long. Most of the time Mayuzumi catches them before he actually starts the operation—a cursory swipe across the cartoid artery would usually reveal something if not a pulse.

Of course he gets the occasional zombie, but what can he do but calmly shoot it in the face. Good thing ghouls aren’t susceptible to that shit.

Sometimes he gets hungry—it’s inevitable, for someone like him—but.

“Chihiro,” Akashi says, having appeared out of nowhere like he always does, too close to Mayuzumi for comfort in this sort of space. “Please respect our customers.”

“I’m not gonna eat them,” Mayuzumi snaps at him, turning away. He carefully puts down a stiff arm, already in its final stages of rigor mortis. This one is, obviously, very dead. Akashi looks down at the deceased, brushing aside a few strands of hair, the smile on his face too fond for Mayuzumi to comment on without sounding equally embarrassing. “I am trying to work here, in case you can’t tell.”

“I can tell just fine.”

“Right,” Mayuzumi says. He goes back to his needle and thread, deftly sewing up the deceased’s lips, smoothing down the features, closing the eyes. Akashi watches him work, eyes flickering towards the picture propped up on the work table.

“If you need an injector—“

“I don’t.” It would work just as well, maybe more cosmetically elegant, but nobody has complained to him about the viewings yet. At least, nobody has gotten through Akashi about that yet, and Akashi would definitely have made it known if Mayuzumi had fucked up in some way. Now, though, as he reels the tank over to his work table, he sees Akashi looking at him in a way that suggests otherwise. “What.”

“I was thinking,” Akashi says, his smile showing too-sharp teeth, fingers brushing against Mayuzumi’s hands in that commanding sort of way, despite the dirty rubber gloves Mayuzumi’s wearing and the smell of formaldehyde a complete turn-off from whatever Akashi’s got planned. “Perhaps you should finish your work early.”

Mayuzumi checks the tube, then starts massaging the body as he starts pumping fluid into the veins. “What did you say about respecting our customers, again.”

“Hm?”

“You’re insinuating you want to fuck next to,” Mayuzumi gestures at the dead man, who thankfully stays dead. “Him. Like I said before, no.”

Akashi has the gall to look affronted. “Chihiro.”

“I’ll be done in two hours,” Mayuzumi tells him, peeling off the gloves for new ones as he watches the fluid meter tick. He presses a quick kiss to Akashi’s forehead as he passes, throwing the gloves into the wash basin. Maybe it’s too much of a compromise, judging from the smile returning to Akashi’s face, but there’s nothing like people getting all up in his workspace to prevent him from functioning, vampire boyfriend/boss/what have you included. “Go wait in the office for me, won’t you?”

Sorry for the late reply! I love you for running away with the prompt, it was so much more than I'd hoped for!

Now please, Akashi, give the man some space to do his job and HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR THE CORPSE
