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).

Teshima woke up with his head on Koga’s chest, which did not make a soft pillow but was still always a good place to find himself. He ran one finger along the line of Koga’s collarbone, enjoying the little smile on his face. If anything Koga looked smug about this situation. Teshima kissed his finger and touched it to the corner of Koga’s mouth.

Careful not to disturb Koga, Teshima pushed himself upright and stretched. They had somehow twisted the covers into a knotted nest around them, but Teshima figured it was warm enough that both body heat and blankets together would have been too much anyway.

Aoyagi had draped himself over Koga’s stomach, monopolizing as much space as he could cover. His slight frown made it seem like he was still not satisfied. It was so cute Teshima had to touch a soft kiss to Aoyagi’s forehead before turning his attention to trying to get out of the knot they had made.

It was impressive how much they had managed to tangle things. Teshima felt like his foot was caught in a Chinese finger trap. Trying to pull it out only made the knot tighten.

While he was distracted, someone grabbed him around the waist. Teshima found himself dragged backwards over Koga’s thighs until he fell against Aoyagi. Aoyagi’s arms latched around his waist.

“Hey! What are you doing?” Teshima thrashed, more with surprise than anything else, and only found himself clutched harder to Aoyagi’s chest.

Koga grumbled and put one hand to his face as his eyes cracked open.

“See, you woke up Kimitaka,” Teshima accused.

There was a shared look over Teshima’s head, and then Koga gathered both of them into his arms. Teshima found himself trapped in the middle of a tangle of limbs.

Teshima might have expected being sandwiched naked between the two of them to lead somewhere immediately, but it didn’t. Koga leaned over his shoulder to kiss Aoyagi, (and kiss him again when he pressed forward greedily,) then gave Teshima a soft kiss before nuzzling sleepily against his hair.

Aoyagi spooned himself snugly against Teshima’s back and breathed against the back of his neck and it sounded like, “Stay” even if he didn’t say a word.

“I was going to make breakfast,” Teshima told them. “You’re not getting any breakfast if you don’t let me up.”

Koga said, “Hmm” and kissed his ear. Aoyagi didn’t bother saying anything.

“I know you love my cooking,” Teshima grumbled, nose pressed into Koga’s chest. He didn’t actually want to escape now.

“You know we love you more.”

It wasn’t new, hearing something like that, and yet it always seemed to surprise him. Teshima had to stop and swallow down a giddy laugh. “Yeah. Okay. You win.”

“Damn right we win,” Koga muttered. Teshima felt the shiver of a silent laugh from Aoyagi.

Happily resigned to his fate, Teshima kicked fruitlessly at the blanket still tangled around his foot, which had twisted too tight. Aoyagi apparently trusted him (or trusted Koga not to release him) enough to reach down and unravel it. The knot came apart in his hands like magic, letting Teshima fit himself more comfortably between them.

Rather than being tangled in the blankets, he would much rather be tangled up with the two he loved.
