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.

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).

MAN this cap gets me every time!!!

***

Morning is two cups of strong coffee, both for himself.

One, he drinks now, one, he tips into a tumbler to bring to work, because the machine in the pantry is a travesty and whatever it churns out can hardly be called palatable, let alone coffee. As Suga wraps his hands around the mug and yawns into the steam, he hears the shower come on. The toaster next to him goes off with a soft ding.

Morning is Daichi emerging to a pile of buttered toast with his tie, invariably, askew. Some days, Suga straightens it for him. Some days, he waves him off with an innocent grin and lets him leave the house a little unkempt. His sense of humour, as Daichi’s fond of reminding him, can be an exasperating thing.

“That’s what you like about me,” Suga says, every time. It comes easy to the tip of his tongue, tripping off lightly after all these years. He’ll say it with his face buried in Daichi’s neck, laughter bubbling bright on his lips; he’ll say it over the laundry and the ironing and the kitchen sink, too.

Daichi only smiles, never asks in return what it is that Suga likes about him. Suga thinks he knows the answer better than Suga does himself.

Afternoon is an endless string of meetings and paperwork, casual chit-chat at the photocopier and texts from Daichi. Once, Suga’s coworker had swiped his phone as it lit up with a notification, eyes aglow to see what your lover’s sent you now, only to find a message about how much cabbage you need me to buy for dinner; Suga had burst out laughing at her bemusement and made a remark, only half-joking, about peak romance.

For Daichi isn’t measured by the hours, any more than evening is counting down to the end of something. Evening is standing side by side, bumping elbows as Suga hums along to the radio, shreds vegetables and lets Daichi get on with his pot of soup. He’s become a lot more useful since he learned not to burn the bottom of it.

“Pass me your knife and your chopping board when you’re done,” says Daichi, turning on the tap. “I’ll clean up.”

Peak romance, thinks Suga with a smile, is doing the dishes for someone without being asked.

These are their days, and these are their nights: no fleeting rapture, no giddy memories that Suga could stitch into this tapestry of them, only threads, plain and home-spun and patiently, patiently woven, and they are enough, they are more than enough. Suga could not look back now and say, this is what I like about Daichi, any more than he could pick a favourite thread.

Some days, the black one, like the jackets we used to wear; some days, the brown one, where Daichi spilled tea all over my freshly laundered shirt one night, and stayed up late getting the stains out.

There’s never been a when, to his falling in love with Daichi. Only a litany of the littlest moments, over and over again.
