Bonus Round 5: Clue

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

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)!

This round closes on 5 August @ 7PM EDT. (Countdown Timer.)

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.
• 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 got a little carried away. Warnings for sadomasochism, mentions of sexual self-harm, blood, cutting, masochism, sadism, mild sexual content.

***


"Aren't you a pretty canvas..." The words were breathed out low and admiring as Manami swung a leg over Midousuji's thighs, settling down just under the plump curve of his ass. He didn't cut Midousuji immediately but instead let the sharp edge of the blade run over Midousuji's skin, learning the curves and lines of his body, compensating for the slight lift as Midousuji breathed.

"Done this before?" He asked, then realized that the question wasn't quite right. He laughed, leaning down to ghost a kiss right down along the dip of Midousuji's spine. The drift of his lips was soft and subtle, more air then touch, and lewd little kiss he sucked to the small of Midousuji's back was purely for his own pleasure.

"Or rather, ever been cut by someone that's not yourself?" Midousuji wasn't scarred like Manami was. For all that Manami was usually careful not to cut too deep, the tempting black promise of death always whispered the loudest once the blade was against his skin. The smoothness of Midousuji’s skin was absolute, uninterrupted by anything that'd make his blade bump or stutter. It was so lovely that it made Manami's mouth dry.

“No,” Midousuji said, arms folded under his face and his skin a-prickle with anticipation. He shuddered, licking his lips at the contact of skin to those soft, soft lips.

Manami paused,, nuzzling a little kiss over the swelling bruise at the dip of Midousuji's back as he tried to decide what to do next.
The blade teased over Midousuji’s skin, still not cutting in. It'd take a while before Manami was ready to make the first cut; he wanted Midousuji to be shivering with anticipation for it, short hairs on his neck raised and his muscle taut with _want_. It'd feel better then. It'd feel like _release_, like completion.

"You really are quite good at making someone wait just right." Midousuji purred, not at all offended by Manami's too-light ministrations. He could afford to wait; they had all night, after all.

"I like teasing myself. " And Midousuji had watched Manami do it many times, teasing himself on camera, torturing his audience with the promise of drawn blood while keeping the reality just barely out of reach. He was being just as attentive to Midousuji's skin as he was to his own, raising its sensitivity but keeping the bite of blade just out of touch.

"And I _know_ how much better it feels if you wait for it. If your skin is alive and awake and _starving_. It's like being hungry and getting that first delicious bite of a cheeseburger - or whatever you like drinking. Everything's just so much more intense."

It was the same principle that was responsible for why Manami liked edging himself so much. He did it on camera too, letting his boyfriend see how aroused he was,, how _desperate_ Manami was to come but how iron his self control was.

The tip of the knife rested against the bruise that Manami had sucked into being and Manami applied just enough pressure to make the sharp edge of the knife teeter-hover against the skin before the tip finally sank _in_.

Manami lowered his voice a little, making it quieter so that Midousuji would have to strain to hear, to focus even more intently on Manami and his efforts.

"Your skin's beautiful. Not a flaw. No scars, no birthmarks. Nothing. And it's so smooth too. Feels the way that milk looks. Or fresh snow. Just clean and pretty and waiting to be sullied."

He let the knife draw light lines over Midousuji's skin as he spoke, thin little traces of red beading up to follow the tip of the blade.

"I like cutting the inside of my thighs best. Sometimes my cock or my stomach. And the way my own blood tastes..." He shivered, rapture unfeigned, then bent his head to take a quick lick at one of the wounds. So good. So rich and raw and vitally alive.

Manami continued to cut into him, watching the crimson beads welling up, but resisted the temptation to take another taste. He let the blade trace up along Midousuji's spine, carving wings into the planes of his shoulderblades and marking each distinct feather and pinion with surprising care.

When he cut himself, it was about what felt good, not necessarily looked good. This would be beautiful once it was done, blood blotted away so that Midousuji was inked with angel wings that he surely didn't deserve.

Manami had no illusions about his boyfriend; Midousuji was a monster.

But he was Manami’s monster and that made all the difference.
