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).

me: hm i love hiruma/kurita and hiruma/agon, how to choose!
my fill list: you don't have to
me: ????
me: OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***

"Are... are you really sure we can do this?"

"Of course we can do this fucking fatass! Christ, can't you quit bitching for two seconds?!"

"It's not about can." Hiruma says, staring down Kurita and Agon across from him. "We're going to do this."

It's not ideal, nothing about this is ideal - all the Deimon Devilbats have to their name is this musty old storage room, the shitty table they're sitting at, and the three of them. Hiruma has his blackmail notes sure, it gets them their helper players so they can make enough of a team to play in matches, but shit, they're not going to win unless they get more real players.

"We should at least try to talk to Musashi, I'm sure if we just talk to him he'll--"

"Fuck that old man!" Hiruma and Agon say in unison, and Kurita deflates. Hiruma doesn't like taking the wind out of Kurita's sails, but after the way he left, there's no bringing him back easy. It's another thing that is really, really not fucking ideal.

"I can be the kicker, we don't even need him." And that's not ideal either, Hiruma thinks, because while Agon has the kind of ruthlessness that makes an amazing offensive liner he'll run his stamina into the ground if he's playing kicker. Besides, his range and aim is nothing on what Musashi had - even if it's better than anything he or Kurita's got going for them in their legs.

"Don't say that!" Kurita puffs back up, as he always does when there's someone to defend, "We need good players, and Musashi's one of the best!"

"Bullshit he is!" Agon slams his hands on the table, squaring up for a fight he's bound to lose if Kurita really tries because his bark is so much worse than his bite.

"He's right fucking dreads. Three people don't make a football team."

Agon snarls back at him, teeth gritted as he looks between him and Kurita - finally realizing that he's not going to win this one.

"Oh fuck the both of you!" he grabs his jacket and heads for the door, and Hiruma just rolls his eyes. Another fucking tantrum.

"You're gonna let Unsui win that easily?"

He doesn't have to turn around to know that Agon has frozen in place, that the hot rage on his face is wiped away by icy realization, and Hiruma just grins to himself. He's so easy - his complex with his twin at Shinryuji and his fucking god-like abilities makes Agon the easiest one of all to make stay.

The force of the thrown jacket makes the chair wobble before Agon sits back down at it, fuming at Hiruma while Kurita beams.

"Listen you fucks," Hiruma starts, slamming the but of an M-16 onto the table. "if we're gonna be serious about this, we're gonna fucking train and recruit people until you're spitting up blood. You fucking hear me? Shinryuji ain't going down because of lucky shots. We gotta fucking kill 'em, so we need to get together everything we can get our damn hands on. Got it?"

For the first time, Kurita and Agon both smile together, wide grins matching his own. They know what they've got to do. He knows what he has to do.

And god fucking dammit, it's gonna get done.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this was so good!!! <3 <3 <3 hiruma and agon being in sync in cursing out musashi, it's been a while since i've reread es21, but i think hiruma wasn't one to even mention musashi after he left(?) esp in front of kurita, so to see him vent that anger instead of bottling it up (or via destroying inanimate objects) i don't really know how to put it into words in a way that makes more sense, but seeing the influence of agon's presence on hiruma while later you can see how agon's very actions are also pretty much dictated by hiruma gives them such a nice dynamic

ok, that was pretty ranty and probably doesn't half make sense, but. this just whets my appetite for this 'verse even more ahhhh thank you again for linking me or i would have missed this gem!!

AAAA IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKE IT :>>> and yeah, hiruma tries not to mention musashi period so like, having agon to also scream about him is so good for him? but also they're just awful?! i Feel you
