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.

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).

“I’m not in love,” Hanamiya says, practically spitting the words.

He hates Imayoshi’s guts; as trite as it is to say that means deep down they love each other it’s not fucking true. So they fool around sometimes, so Imayoshi’s fun to mess with (except when he thinks he can get away with messing with Hanamiya). That’s got nothing to do with love and romance; even if it did if it was them it would be a mockery.

This feeling is like having his throat cut, blood spilling over and choking, the ay Imayoshi looks at him, a nasty smell like his guts being pulled out of him with Imayoshi’s bare hands wrapped in his intestines. There are no roses and chocolates and tender things, spoken lovingly or even sarcastically.

“Of course you’re not,” says Hara. “You just talk about your boyfriend, Imayoshi, all the damn time—”

“Not my boyfriend.”

“And how much you hate him, how he makes you feel things that aren’t the urge to elbow someone in the head,” says Seto. “It’s cute, Makoto; you’re growing up.”

“Shut the hell up. Who says I don’t want to elbow you in the head?”

“Not as much as you want to kiss Imayoshi,” says Hara, and then he starts to make kissy noises.

Why does Hanamiya let these people hang out with him? Basketball, maybe, but even outside of that. His cheeks are getting hotter, but it’s only because he’s angry with Hara for acting like a small child, ten at best. This is not love; this is just amusement and loathing, mixed together all funny, quickly tipping over the way it feels in a flash. Like, again, his throat being slit, the life going out of him (except, maybe, the opposite effect).

“I’m not in love!”

“If you weren’t you wouldn’t talk about it so much,” says Yamazaki.

Furuhashi’s somehow got a hold of Hanamiya’s phone; Hanamiya lunges for it but Furuhashi ducks. “He’s sending you hearts and you haven’t deleted them or given a concussion.”

“Why the fuck do you have my phone?”

“Thought it was mine.”

“You’re reading my text messages!”

“I was going to text myself to find my phone.”

“You have a different brand!”

“That’s off-topic,” says Hara. “Just admit it Hanamiya, you love your boyfriend so much; you want to hug him and kiss him and marry him and make love—”

Hanamiya pushes him off the bleachers; Hara smirks all the way down.

This was such fun(?) fill to read! Hanamiya's denial is absolutely venomous and I adore how embarrassed he feels all the way through, where the beginning parts are so reasoned and graphic, like he's absolutely wrapped up in the way Imayoshi feels and interacts with him but absolutely is trying to frame them in a "classic" couple space to show how they don't fit the stereotype.

And everyone teasing him is absolutely delightful, because they needle him so well, and despite the sharpness of his retorts they're wonderful and all the ridiculousness of teammates <3 Thank you for sharing!
