Bonus Round 5: Clue
Sometimes, all you need are a few little details to imagine something bigger. This round is inspired by a classic board game with a cast of colorful characters, but for SASO your only limits on "who", "where", and "with what" are what you can imagine (and the SASO fandom list, of course)!
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)
RULES
- Submit prompts by commenting to this post with the format of a Clue mystery - "[character] in the [location] with [item]", along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: Sawamura Daichi in the teachers' lounge with the Hello Kitty! lunchbox
- The person in your prompt MAY be a member of your ship, but is not REQUIRED to be part of your ship. They must still be a named character from a SASO-nominated fandom.
- Your place must be a physical location, not a state of being or a state of being. However, this location is not required to be real, nor must it be from the same setting as the characters.
- The "item" used must be a physical object that the character can hold or manipulate.
- Unlike the board game, your prompt is NOT required to imply murder. The scenario implied can be anything at all! (As always, please tag properly!)
- 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 Clue-inspired fanwork.

Shougo still can't fucking believe it. He looks down at the papers in his hand, all signed, thinks back at how they’d walked into the courtroom, taken a picture with the judge, all three of them. It’s official now even though they’ve been family for a long time, family with the caveat that the foster system could rear one of its uglier heads and move Heaven to some other house, the care of her birth father’s family even though they want nothing to do with her.
Heaven’s always been ambivalent about her name, and so she can be a grouchy kid a lot of the time—but Shougo’s going to be as sappy as he damn well pleases today, because she’s brought a hell of a lot into his and Shuuzou’s lives since they’d decided they were going to try another foster kid, hope that everything turned out okay, and this is more than okay. They’d ended up with a great kid, a great kid who’s theirs officially and forever. Shougo had tried not to break down in the courtroom or the car and mostly succeeded, turned around to ruffle Heaven’s hair in the backseat and tell her how proud he is and see her halfway roll her eyes. But now, shit; he doesn’t have to keep it together in front of his kid or his partner; he’s just. God. So fucking overwhelmed—more than draft day, more than any stupid basketball thing, more than anything with Shuuzou even.
“Hey, there’s more cake,” Shuuzou says, pulling Shougo in for a hug and smacking his cheek. “You okay?”
This is so embarrassing, but Shougo doesn’t even care; he buries his face in Shuuzou’s shoulder and squeezes his eyes shut.
“I know,” says Shuuzou, his voice a little hoarse. “I know. But hey, they’re legit. You’ve been looking at those papers long enough, and your daughter’s kind of on a sugar high.”
“Whose fault is that?” says Shougo, blinking the tears back.
“Well, I’m not the one who ordered it with double buttercream icing, just saying,” says Shuuzou, lightly bumping Shougo’s hip.
The TV’s on in the den, baseball again, Jays-Braves; Shougo sits down on the couch and scoops Heaven into his lap.
“Hey,” she says. “I can’t reach my cake.”
“Guess I’ll have to eat it then.”
“Dad,” she whines, but he picks up the plate and hands it back to her.
The sound of Shuuzou’s camera shutter goes off; they both make faces at it—Shuuzou loves taking pictures, and neither Shougo nor Heaven has the patience for too many of them. But Shuuzou smiles at both of them anyway, and Shougo smiles back; he can’t see Heaven’s face from this angle but she’s probably smiling, too, and they might as well let Shuuzou get away with taking another one.

After years of struggling through endless paperwork and waiting, Kimishita isn’t really sure this is real. He sits in the middle of the living room floor, a small stack of papers trembling in his hands.
She gets to finally come home.
It’s all that Kimishita can do to stop himself from running around the house just to expend his excited energy; he would have called Ooshiba already to share this excitement, but he wants it to be a surprise. He falls back onto the floor and covers his face with the adoption papers in a bid to calm himself, but it doesn’t seem to work. Kimishita is just going to have to wait another hour or so for Ooshiba to get home and then they can celebrate together. He bites his lip just thinking about Ooshiba’s reaction, how ecstatic he’ll be to find out that he gets to be a giant, ridiculous, wonderful parent. They both do. They get to raise a sweet little girl together, and there is absolutely no doubt in Kimishita’s mind that Ooshiba will spoil her rotten. Kimishita resigns himself, albeit fondly, to being the “strict” parent despite the fact he is probably weaker to her smile than he cares to admit.
Kimishita can almost feel how lively their house is going to be, strewn with little toys and the tiniest clothes he can imagine. He and Ooshiba can actually buy all those adorable clothes still open in countless tabs on Ooshiba’s laptop, including sensible fluorescent dresses and a jersey kit because they all have to match, of course. A giddy laugh bubbles up his throat and he needs Ooshiba to get here already so he can jump into his arms and tell him that their lives get to change in the best possible way.
The hands on the clock move more slowly than Kimishita ever remembers them moving, so he checks whether the stupid thing is even working—much to his dismay, it is. He’s so focused on cursing the thing’s existence that he almost misses the front door opening.
“I’m home!” Ooshiba’s voice echoes, sending Kimishita’s heart into a frenzy. Grabbing a pen on his way, he scoops up the papers and sprints to the door. He barely has time to welcome Ooshiba back home before he leaps into his arms and kisses him. The papers crinkle behind Ooshiba’s neck as Kimishita pulls back, grinning at Ooshiba’s puzzled blinking.
“I mean, I know you like me, but—” he starts, obviously amused as he lowers Kimishita to the ground.
“Kiichi, we got them—the papers—Kiichi—” Kimishita’s voice breaks and he shoves the papers and pen at Ooshiba’s chest in lieu of an explanation.
“What pa—oh.” Ooshiba looks at Kimishita, eyes wide as the biggest smile Kimishita has ever seen spreads across his face.
“We get to be dads!”
Ooshiba laughs, picking Kimishita up again and burying his face in his neck. “I can’t wait for you to still be the shortest member of our family,” he mumbles, tilting his head back so he can kiss Kimishita’s nose. Kimishita smacks him.
“Not for another few years at least, you giant,” he replies, letting Ooshiba lower him back down. “Now, comeoncomeoncomeon, get out of your shoes and come sign this with me!”
“You haven’t signed it yet?” Ooshiba asks, stumbling out of his shoes and nearly toppling Kimishita over when they skid to a stop in front of the nearest horizontal surface. Kimishita nudges Ooshiba’s shoulder with his head.
“I wanted to do it together, you dork.” Kimishita smiles softly at Ooshiba and offers him the pen. His heart feels so full.
Once their names are on the page, Ooshiba takes Kimishita into his arms and kisses the top of his head. Kimishita curls into him and grips his waist, still grinning. They get to be dads.
