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.

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

Required Work Minimums:

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).

There are tales that are meant to warn children against going into the woods, of the strange man that lives among the trees, his house made of candy, designed to lure unwary children closer, until it's too late for them to realise that he man is actually a demon, living in the heart of the woods and lying in wait so that he can trap them and lock them into cages, fattening them until they're good enough to eat.

Sekizan is not a child and perhaps he should know better, but he stops listening at house made of candy. He decides that he needs to go into the woods and take a look for himself. Perhaps, as big and strong as he is, he won't fall into whatever traps the other children might anyway. He can take care of himself. Probably.

"Taka-chan, I still don't think you should be going into the woods," Hachioji says, biting his lip with concern as Sekizan speaks of his plan. "I honestly think it's just a story to keep the children away and teach them not to take things at face value. I don't think that there's an actual house made of candy out there. You'll just be disappointed, and who knows what else is living in the woods? You know that the hunters that go out there don't always come back safe."

"I'll find out for myself," Sekizan decides. "I'll take an axe, if I really need to protect myself."

"I'm not going to change your mind, am I?" Hachioji asks. "Please take care."

In the end, Sekizan is so distracted by the thought of a house made of candy that he forgets his axe. He just ends up pushing his way through the woods until he smells sugar in the air. He sniffs, trying to find the direction it's coming from, and barrels through the shrubs in his way, determined not to let anything get in between him and the candy.

The house he comes across is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. It's put together by all kinds of sweets, gingerbread holding the edges together, icing to give it some colour, and even konpeito as little detailed pieces of decoration. The entire thing is incredibly ornate and Sekizan reasons to himself that surely, he's not going to ruin the structural integrity of the place by eating the windowsills.

Which is how the demon finds him, walking out of his house and blinking his black-and-yellow eyes at Sekizan in confusion.

"What is wrong with you?" the demon asks. "You're eating my house."

"You're the one with the candy house," Sekizan replies, stuffing another piece of gingerbread into his mouth.

With a sigh, the demon rubs a hand over his face. "Look. Will you stop eating my window sill if I invite you inside and feed you some cake instead?"

"You just want to fatten me up and eat me," Sekizan accuses. "I'm fine out here."

The demon laughs. "I, Zanba Ryuujin, have no interest in ruining that wonderful physique that you have. You just pushed your way through the woods to get here. I can respect that. I have no desire in eating you when you could challenge me instead."

"Challenge you… how?" Sekizan asks, his interest piqued.

Zanba grins. "We can talk about this over cake, can't we?"

Sekizan can't really argue with that.

this was wonderful! sekizan's single-mindedness is one of my favorite things, and applied to 'finding a house made of candy' it is extra great. and zanba, impressed and bewildered- 'please stop eating my house'- also great!
thank you so much! i love this
