Bonus Round 7: Free For All

[referees]

Let's finish SASO 2017 with a bang. This bonus bonus round allows any kind of prompt imaginable in any format. The sky's the limit!



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

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 literally any kind of prompt, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms, with the following caveats:
  • Large image prompts should be thumbnailed and linked to, as explained here.
  • Fanart/fanfiction/fanwork prompts are only allowed if you created the fanwork yourself or if you have explicit permission to use it, and proof of permission must be linked to in your prompt header.
  • Quote prompts can come from almost anything, but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
  • Reposting prompts is fine, but be respectful and keep crediting in mind. A prompt belongs to the person who posted it to this round, and who can fill it is determined by whether or not they are on that person's team.
    • If reposting a br2 (tic tac toe) prompt, please post each prompt square as its own individual comment. Posting tic tac toe boards wholesale will crash our br scorer and the bonus doesn't apply for this round, anyway.
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Akira & Hikaru). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Akira/Hikaru). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Besides that, if you want to prompt something, regardless of format—even formats not previously allowed in SASO—go right ahead. If you're unsure you can ask us for clarification, but tbh just go for the gold.
• Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with a fanwork.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:

• 400 words (prose)
• 400px by 400px (art)
• 14 lines (poetry)
• 8 tracks (fanmixes)

There is no max work cap.

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).

This is not as hard as the prompt but man I liked this prompt.

***

Kuroko remembered his past lives -- at least, he knew that he’d had past lives, and that there were certain people who would eventually show up in this one, since they’d always done so before. They’re always echoes of echoes, never quite completely the person they’d been before, but also never truly someone new, or different.

In truth, after the first few cycles, Kuroko had gotten sick of them.

After a few thousand cycles, he’d hated them.

*

Aomine was always first and Kuroko thought he might have been the one he’d loved best, the first time. Aomine never remembered his past lives and barely heeded the signs and warnings of his present one. But Aomine always came and plucked Kuroko out of obscurity, the burning white light that made the shadows all the darker. There was one cycle where Kuroko, through various schemes and outright lies, had managed to spend almost his whole life as Aomine’s shadow.

But the problem with shadows were that they were easily forgotten, and Kuroko did not love being forgotten. That life had ended violently and quickly, but the comfort was that Aomine had left the same time he had, in the same way.

*

Kise always chased him, no matter what life they were in. In one life, Kuroko, sick of the chase, had capitulated to him -- he had been born a woman in that cycle and Kise, a man. They’d married and had several children who were more like Kise and than they were like Kuroko. That had been one of Kuroko’s quieter lives, and perhaps one of his happier ones.

But the problem with Kise was that he was not enough. With him, Kuruko always grew impatient, eager for the others who Kise could only imitate.

*

Sometimes Kuroko and Midorima were enemies and sometimes they were allies. They were rarely friends, however, and that to Kuroko seemed just. Sometimes, there was a flicker of recognition in Midorima’s eyes, the first time they’d meet in a life, and Kuroko longed to ask if he remembered, if he knew which cycle they were in, and how many there were left to go.

But Midorima never admitted that he remembered and Kuroko never asked. He’d learned caution in one his earlier lives and would never forget it.

*

Every successive life Murasakibara lived, he grew more and more sick of it all. “Eh, Kurochin,” he said, crunching on a sesame seed candy, “why do we have to do this again?”

“I don’t know, Murasakibara-kun,” Kuroko said, wiping off the sweat from his brow. “Maybe we keep making some mistake that we have to correct before we can move on.”

“I think it’s bad,” Murasakibara said with a vindictive crunch of candy against his strong, white teeth. “Making us go through junior high school again. Isn’t it mean?”

*

“Akashi-kun, do you remember?” Kuroko asked him once and Akashi’s eyes flashed alarmingly. Kuroko never asked him again.

*

He didn’t always meet Kagami during his lives. When he did, he knew that this particular cycle would be a good one, and he was usually right. Kagami never remembered what it was like before, and Kuroko never reminded him.

It was enough that he found him again, it was enough to stop looking for now.

I listened to about half of a Luna Sea album writing this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

***

Their first one-man live was in two weeks, but even if Isumi were being gracious they were woefully unprepared. Exhibit one: they (mostly Isumi) were paying through the nose for the practice space and yet their vocalist and rhythm guitarist was nowhere to be found.

Exhibit two: Touya was kicking their amps in frustration, screaming, “As soon as Shindou gets here I’m going to punch that asshole in the face.”

Exhibit three: Hikaru finally walking in only to say, “I know that rat-tail is ugly but you don’t need to take out your anger on the equipment.”

“I will fucking murder you,” Touya yelled. “Do you think anyone thinks that raccoon patch on your head looks good?” And with that, the two of them descended into a screaming match.

Practice was off to a great start, thought Isumi.

*

They were finally almost through an entire song when Hikaru suddenly played a dissonant chord and stopped.

“What the fuck, Shindou,” Touya said. “Can you play at all?”

Hikaru marched towards Touya. “That scale is awful,” Hikaru said.

“You wouldn’t know a proper scale if it hit you in the face,” Touya said. “Who’s the lead guitarist, huh?”

“Oh I’m sorry, person who can’t sing.”

Isumi moved his bass closer to a speaker until the jarring sound of feedback made everyone cover their ears. “Both of you will be out of the band if you don’t shut up,” he said.

Blissful silence.

“Now: it’s two weeks to the live,” Isumi said, “and I would be very grateful if no one made any more changes to the arrangements, and if anyone wishes to do so they can have roadie duties for the next month.”

*

It was the night of the live, and judging from a quick peek from backstage, the Play House was packed. Isumi ought to be getting into the zone in the dressing room, except the dressing room was currently being occupied by two screaming idiots.

He nodded to Waya, who had just come from the direction of the room and was currently lighting up a cigarette. Waya offered one to him, but he waved it off.

“That bad?” asked Isumi.

“That bad,” Waya said. “I’d break them up, but we have twenty minutes until we go on and I don’t want them to get into another fucking fight in that time.”

“Why did I ever recruit them,” Isumi moaned.

“Because they’re the best in the underground and you know it?” Waya said. “And they aren’t complete dicks.”

“Except around each other,” Isumi muttered.

Isumi leaned against the grungy wall and closed his eyes, trying to find any measure of peace.

“It’s five to,” Waya said. “Want me to go get them?”

Isumi shook his head. “Finish your cig; I’ll get them.”

Walking to the dressing room, he could hear insults still coming from the inside. Knowing he would be ignored, he forwent knocking and simply pushed the door open.

Touya and Hikaru’s lips were locked with hands were in dubious locations under clothing.

“What the fuck,” Isumi swore.

Touya and Hikaru both scrambled away from each other. Touya, who at least had a bit of shame, managed to say an apology. Hikaru just look displeased.

“I thought you were fighting,” Isumi muttered in shock.

“It’s foreplay?” Hikaru said, and Touya promptly hit him in the arm.

“I will actually murder you,” Touya yelled.

“I don’t. I don’t want to know,” Isumi said. “Concert is in five, please come to the stage or something.”

Waya saw his face as soon as Isumi stepped out. “Cigarette?”

Isumi grabbed one immediately.

“Senpai.”

Inui whirled around in his desk chair, surprised. It wasn’t often that he was surprised, but then again it wasn’t every day that Kaidoh showed up in his bedroom and slammed the door behind him. Inui’s parents were just down the hall and didn’t like doors slamming very much.

“Kaidoh,” Inui replied, and he thought his voice sounded pretty even, especially given the surprise. And especially given that Kaidoh had moved away from the door and had straddled him in his desk chair. “Kaidoh,” Inui said again, though this time it sounded less even and more strangled. That was because Kaidoh’s tongue was inside his ear and his hands were pushing underneath his shirt.

“Hot,” Kaidoh said, even though Inui didn’t know if that referred to him, or to Kaidoh himself, or the ambient temperature of the room. His parents did have the tendency to like rooms on the warm side, but that was nothing compared to Kaidoh himself. “Senpai, did you know that I like you?”

Inui shivered at that, ambient temperature be damned, because those were words he’d pictured Kaidoh saying to him approximately once a day for the past few months. Hell, Inui was a teenaged boy, so sometimes he’d pictured Kaidoh saying those words two or three times a day.

“I like you, too,” Inui said, wrapping both of his hands around Kaidoh’s biceps and squeezing, something else he quite often pictured himself doing outside of their training sessions. Then he tilted his head back and tried to hang on because Kaidoh kissed him then, a messy, wet meeting of lips, where Kaidoh snaked his tongue into Inui’s mouth insistently. And Inui let him, oh god, did he ever let him. “Kaidoh,” Inui said, yet again, when Kaidoh tore his mouth away and stood, leaning down to grab Inui’s hands to pull him over to his bed.

Kaidoh sat down on Inui’s bed and pulled his shirt over his head, throwing it carelessly across Inui’s room. “I’m hot all over,” Kaidoh growled, which was really fucking true. Then he spread himself against Inui’s pillows, like all of Inui’s wet dreams come to life, right there in technicolor. Inui climbed onto his bed and curled over Kaidoh, not believing his good luck. “I’ve been hot since I got home from practice, and I needed to see you so bad,” Kaidoh said as Inui sucked on his throat and ran his hands down the planes of Kaidoh’s bare stomach, “ever since I drank your new juice, senpai.”

Inui froze then. He swore creatively and sat back. There had been a chance – a very slight chance, only around 3%, of his new formula displaying aphrodisiacal properties. Even in his wildest data compilations, he’d never expected to be the recipient of them. And while he very much wanted all of this – wanted Kaidoh so badly that his heart ached, physically, inside his chest – he just couldn’t bring himself to proceed under these circumstances.

“Kaidoh, it’s the juice,” Inui said regretfully as he stood up again, with great effort. “I’ll attempt to counteract the effects, but what you’re feeling is artificial. And I can’t – not like this.”

Kaidoh grabbed Inui’s wrist and squeezed, his eyes wild. “It’s not artificial,” he said, insistent, as a bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face. “It’s not, senpai.”

Inui smiled down at him. “Well, if that’s the case, you can tell me again tomorrow.”

The next morning, Kaidoh told Inui again inside the clubhouse. And then he showed him.

Misha has really chubby cheeks and they are perfect for kissing, Viktor swears by it. He has a morning and night smooching regimen as part of his Daddy-Son bonding time :3

I wrote this imagining Yuri to be about 19 or 20, and still holding onto that little stubbornness against letting Yuuri and Viktor know how he really feels about them. But of course he loves their son openly and unapologetically, so the message is really quite clear about how he cares for them, too. Sometimes he overcompensates a little lol

Thanks SO MUCH for letting me play in your wonderful verse. Warnings for blood and injury.

***

The injuries from the fight against Worthless had yet to heal when Karasuno came for them again.

Pridefulness and Indomitable stood side by side, bracketing a slim young boy with hair that flamed upwards. He was a candle burning bright and hot and his eyes held a wildfire’s wildness.

Kageyama leaned in towards him, leaned despite the meters that separated them, and Tooru knew he had lost.

“This is Hinata!” The Indomitable Sacrifice shouted happily. “He’s your true Sacrifice, Kageyama! He’s Flightless.”

Tooru’s throat burnt, so hot and violent that it felt infected. He watched numbly as the Flightless Sacrifice pushed up his jacket sleeve, exposing the black letters that matched Tobio’s so perfectly.

There. It had happened. Tobio’s true Sacrifice had come for him, his destined partner and now--

“This is why I wouldn’t let you carve your name into me,” he said, surprised by the steadiness of his voice. “Why carry two sets of wounds?”

This would hurt less than when Worthless had lived up (down) to his name; Tooru told himself that and pretended he believed it.

Tobio’s gaze slid off his Sacrifice and back to Tooru. His eyes were bright, so painfully blue - if other the boy was a candle, Tobio was the dark it chased away and the blue of the flame’s heart. They matched even in that.

“You said we’d have to kill you first,” a girl’s voice suddenly spoke. Tooru’s ears flattened against his head and he turned sharply in the direction of the voice; it was Limitless standing there with another male between them, this one with spiky black hair and a frown. The girl continued, “But we found another option.”

She beamed at him, all perky golden sunshine as if she hadn’t cursed him while cradling her Sacrifice to her.

“This is Iwaizumi-kun! He’s a blank Fighter, just like you’re a blank Sacrifice.”

(Blank no more, Tooru nearly corrected, but he touched his throat and held his tongue.)

“He can be your Fighter and Kageyama-kun can be with Hinata-kun where he belongs.”

Tooru’s tail lashed angrily against the backs of his own knees. He might have - when he was younger - fantasized about being part of a true complete unit, of choosing a name and having someone whose name matched his but he’d been young then. Naive.

This wasn’t a kindness on Karasuno’s part. It was for Kageyama’s sake so that he could feel he wasn’t abandoning Toori.

Tobio looked back at Tooru, then at Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi’s brown eyes locked on Tobio’s and for a second, the two Fighters looked ready to break into a spell battle right there.

Tooru went to brace himself, then stopped. If - if there was a spell battle now, it would be Iwaizumi whose Sacrifice he’d be.

It would be Tobio hurting him to show his new loyalty to Karasuno, his new loyalty to his true Sacrifice.

“I don’t want you as my Sacrifice,” Tobio said and the shock in Tooru’s eyes was mirrored in all of Karasuno’s. “Go be Iwaizumi-kun’s Sacrifice. He’s blank. You can be Flightless with him.”

“What are you doing?” Tooru hissed, the words tight and strangled in his throbbing throat. “I don’t need your pity.”

Tobio pulled a knife out of a pocket; a single slash cut through the word FLIGHTLESS on his wrist and then he flipped the knife around, holding it by its bloody blade and offering the handle to Tooru.

“We’re a complete unit,” he said, eyes on Tooru but his voice pitched for all of Karasuno to hear. “Give us both a new name.”

Tooru’s hand shook as he accepted the knife but it was steady as he started to carve into Tobio’s other arm.

FLAWLESS, the wet red wound said and Tobio smiled as he took the knife back and Tooru yanked up his own sleeve, offering his bare forearm to be marked.

“Nice name,” Tobio said and pressed the knife in far too lightly to scar.

Tooru placed his hand over Tobio’s and pushed the knife better. “It suits us.”

Vice-captaincy was treating Kenma well, Kuroo thought as he exited the gates from the shinkansen platform and made a beeline to where Kenma was waiting for him. Kenma had his nose in a video game like usual, but Kuroo knew better than to fall for that trick. Kenma's fingers hadn't moved since he first caught sight of him back when he stepped off of the train, and even if they were hidden under his bangs, Kuroo knew that Kenma's eyes would have been following his progress for just as long.

"I missed you," Kuroo said, juggling his bags until he could hug Kenma properly without dropping anything.

"I missed you too, Kuroo."

Now that Kuroo was away at university, they didn't speak as constantly as they had when they were neighbors and in the same school, but they still found time to at least send a quick message or two during the day, and they talked more nights than not. There were some things that just didn't come across on cell phone cameras in poorly lit rooms though, Kuroo thought. He'd only been away for a few months, but Kenma was a lot more solid than he remembered. He needed to remember to congratulate whoever had finally convinced Kenma to put in some serious time in the weight room.

Kenma seemed more confident too, but that was a more subtle change. Kuroo wasn't sure he would have picked up on it if it he didn't have so many other memories and moments to compare it to. It was small differences like how Kenma wasn't staring all the way down at his feet, or the way he didn't immediately attach himself to Kuroo's elbow and use Kuroo as a shield between him and the sea of people in the station. Small differences, but obvious ones to Kuroo, and he was glad Kenma had agreed to be the new vice-captain of the team. The leadership that came with it, and probably that came from being a third-year as well, seemed to be a good change for him.

And maybe it was just distance making his heart grow fonder, or whatever the saying was, but he swore Kenma was even cuter than he had been last time they'd seen each other.

"You owe me dinner," Kenma said, closing his game and slipping his hand into Kuroo's.

It was a struggle not to give into the urge to kiss Kenma right then and there, but there would be plenty of time for that later. They had all weekend after all. For now, he settled for grinning like a lovestruck schoolkid and squeezing Kenma's hand as he said, "lead on."

AU where Sousuke and Haru didn’t meet as kids. Warnings for infidelity

***

“I thought you’d be more muscled,” Sousuke said blankly, staring at Haru. He’d been hearing for so long about the paragon of swimming that was Haru that he’d expected someone with a build to rival his own. Rin loved being picked up and pinned against the wall; how could someone like Haru do that when he looked as fragile as a rice stalk?

“I thought you’d be a better swimmer,” Haru retorted as he looked Sousuke over. Of course he knew who Sousuke was. Everyone heard about the vice captain of Samezeka and how he and Rin were childhood buddies. When he’d seen the sext flash up onto Rin’s phone from Sexk, he’d thought that that Sexk must be an even better swimmer than him instead of a washed-up hasbeen with a ruined shoulder.

“...When you texted me from Rin’s phone to meet up here, what exactly did you think would happen?” Sousuke asked. One of them had to be responsible and break the glare-off.

Haru shrugged. “I don’t know. I just - wanted to see who Rin was cheating on me with. And why.”

“...” Sousuke’s gaze dipped down for a second, then he met Haru’s eyes again. “I’ve been in love with Rin since we were kids. He hooked up with me before you. Doesn’t that mean he’s cheating on me with you?”

“I don’t know,” Haru said, voice flat and devoid of affect. “But I didn’t know about you until I saw that text - and he kissed me first.”

Sousuke’s laugh was a rough, hurt whisper of sound. “Figures. He never could stop talking about you.”


There was silence for a few seconds and then Haru abruptly asked, “...Want to go to the beach?”

A flush colored Haru’s cheeks in response to Sousuke’s surprised look. “Swimming always makes me feel better. And we can get some ice cream afterwards.”

Well. The text was fake. Rin wasn’t going to meet him. And Haru - wasn’t actually as bad as Sousuke had always imagined. It was enough to make Sousuke feel a little guilty about having continued to fuck Rin even after he knew about Haru.

“Yeah. Okay.”

HARU: I’m breaking up with you.
SEXK: We’re done.

The two texts arrived at the same time, flashing onto Rin’s phone as he swam laps in the pool peacefully.

“Do you think we should invite Rin to the wedding?” Haru asked, ticking off names on the long guest list that Sousuke had compiled and crossing out others.

“Yeah,” Sousuke said, crossing over to fold his arms over Haru’s slim shoulders and lean his weight against him. “We can’t invite Gou and not him. We wouldn’t have gotten together without him.”

With an absolutely straight face, Haru suggested, “Maybe we can ask him to make a speech.”
