Bonus Round 6: Remixes
The goal is in sight, participants! Let's finish strong by drawing upon the thousands of fanworks you've created this summer and putting them in new lights.
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.
RULES
- Choose a fanwork created by other participants in a previous main or bonus round of SASO 2017 and create a new piece based on it. You could create a fanart of another work, an FST inspired by a piece’s style, a podfic of someone else's work, retell another person’s fanfic from another point of view, create a new fanfic inspired by a great piece of art... go wild! Sequels do count as remixes, with limits: "And then the same thing happened again" is not ok, but "And then some totally new thing happened" is fine, and please don't create only sequels.
- You cannot remix your teammates' works. You cannot remix your own works. You can remix fills that were created to your own prompts.
- You can remix a remix, but if we see any remix chains we'll be upset, so do this with moderation and restraint.
- You must have permission from the original creator. There's a blanket permissions post here (feel free to add yourself to it!), or you can leave a comment on their original post asking for permission.
- You must include the dreamwidth link to the original work in your post.
- Since all fills are based on previous works, there will be no prompts for this round. Simply post your fill as a comment in response to this post.
- Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

- 400 words (prose)
- 400px by 400px (art)

Format your comment in one of the following ways:

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 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).Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

fun fact i have an entire post-rin's death matsuoka curse fic plotted out somewhere and it's like two years old so shoutout to saso for giving me the excuse to try some things out lmao (also after having not written free! fic for all this time HARUKA IS SO HARD TO WRITE, JESUS)
***
years ago, it was sousuke that offered the hand haruka finally took.
he spent weeks, months, brushing everyone off. makoto and kou, of course, never gave up—not fully. kou invited haruka over to the matusoka home whenever she was home from school—which, after the accident, was often. sousuke isn't sure if that was for her sake or for her mother's.
she told sousuke, once, that once haruka left her mother would excuse herself to cry. "she hates seeing him like this, and it's like—it's like losing rin all over again, everytime she sees him. but she doesn't tell me to stop inviting him—i think she knows it's better for them both, but—"
sousuke stayed on the line as kou's voice faltered, trying to keep her breathing steady in the face of tears he knew she was fighting.
(he's glad, at least, that she never blamed herself, never entertained the idea that had she not fallen off that boat that rin might have lived.)
makoto checked up on haruka as best he could—made sure he was eating. on good days, haruka seemed a specter, as if he had slipped away with rin despite having been thousands of miles away from the storm that took him.
he and sousuke texted almost daily—they'd struck up a friendship a few years prior, having run into each other enough in tokyo to exchange numbers and see each other.
sousuke didn't like asking directly about haruka's progress—he knew it was slow, if not nonexistent. he took whatever makoto offered and left it at that, letting makoto have someone to vent to.
sometimes makoto tried to ask sousuke how he was doing; after sousuke's first three terse replies he stopped.
(in hindsight, he wonders how he never realized that it didn't make him much different from haruka. but, then, he was always blind when it came to those similarities.)
sousuke likes to pretend that he doesn't intervene in other people's business often, but, well—that would be to neglect the fact that he makes his friends' business his own.
when makoto broke down at dinner, in the middle of the ramen shop, something clicked. maybe it was because he'd just gotten off the phone with an emotional ai some hours previous, or maybe the image of his apartment—messy, belongings strewn everywhere because he couldn't be assed to do anything meaningful, let alone something as menial as clean—played in his head and he couldn't help but see haruka in that same place, and he just—
he pulled out his phone and dialed, barely thinking, something foreign driving his hands.
(he realized later that it was drive, resolve—strangers to him, after so long without them.)
he left a voicemail, and it isn't until makoto tells him later that he even knows what he says. something about being an asshole, about leaving his friends behind, about letting rin down.
sousuke joined makoto on his train to iwatobi the next week.
a week into the trip, after nearly punching haruka in his own home, after haruka tried (and failed) to eject sousuke from his room four times, haruka told him he never listened to the voicemail.
it doesn't matter, though—it's the longest sentence haruka has said to most anyone in ages.
they were at the shrine for rin. kou and his mother had it made next to his father's.
sousuke didn't immediately respond.
"he was supposed to live," haruka said. "he was supposed to live for matsuoka-san."
there was something like betrayal in his voice; later, sousuke learns that it wasn't betrayal directed at rin, but at the water.
he was supposed to live. he wondered how much haruka wasn't saying. sousuke cast his eyes to the medal that rests at the foot of the senior matsuoka's shrine. "he did."
ten years later, they stand at the same place.
by now, sousuke knows what haruka hadn't said then.
he was supposed to live so i could live with him, so you could live with him. he was supposed to live. he died so that kou could live. if i had been there maybe i could have saved him so he could live.
he was supposed to live.
sousuke sets down the stone he brought from the shoreline at avalon beach.
there are things sousuke has said to haruka since—things others have said to him, once he finally gave them the chance. there are things that people have said to him, too.
we're still here, haruka told him once. a fact and a reminder.
he holds his position, watching haruka crouch to his level, watching his fingers rub over the stone's surface.
a long moment passes before haruka pulls the medal from around his neck and sets it on top of the stone.
years ago, it was haruka that offered sousuke a hand up.
