Bonus Round 1: Quotes

SASO 2015 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

PLAY BALL! For this round, we'd like you to take inspiration from songs, sayings, poems, and other kinds of famous words.

Because this is our first full round, please read this post carefully before proceeding!

This round ends at 7PM on June 13 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here!" -Kermit the Frog
- The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Yachi & Kiyoko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Yachi/Kiyoko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.

Oh I love this idea... I have an idea for it, it might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I'm going to try my best to fill this!!

Inuoka Sou/Shibayama Yuuki, Haikyuu!!

“In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.” - W. H. Auden

This is the best kind of reaction and I am very pleased to have caused it. Imagine me rubbing my hands together like some evil cartoon villain (or with Teshima's smug-ass smirk when he's screwing with people's minds during a race).

Agreed.

confession i burn every time i read one of your t2 fics on the ao3 tag. i think i threw a little fit when i saw you post the airplanes story.

i may also try to fill this prompt, having them play a different game (cries) but... I LOVE YOUR T2 SO MUCH PEASE DNONT'SD GDOS DON'T STOP

Manami Sangaku /& Midousuji Akira - Yowamushi Pedal

"You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise" - Elvis Presley, (You're The) Devil In Disguise

Thank you Mira ;w; but seriously what a good voice for Kuroo! And I really love them using nicknames for each other, god bless

akaashi keiji/bokuto koutarou/kuroo tetsurou, haikyuu!! (prompts own ship like a loser)

“[The idea] that there is some kind of all-encompassing, burning, passionate love that will never die out unless you both die is so depressing and not real. There’s this trope in literature that somehow we’re not whole unless we have another — which, for me, is not fair to the uniqueness and wonderfulness of the individual. We can compliment one another greatly but we are not the source of each other’s happiness.” - chris pine (yeah i know)

Oh, please, please! <3 Even a drabble/short story will do! KyoAni could have made them bitter rivals or have some bad blood between them because of Rei, arguably, replacing Rin's place on Team Iwatobi + that trio, but instead they put the past behind them and Rei sacrificed his own spot to allow Rin the chance to swim a relay with his three friends again..

And then Rin taking Rei under his wing (BUTTERFLIES BUDDIES) and helping him with the other swimming strokes, awh my heart ( ；ω ； )

Oh no oh no this is so sweet I love this!! T2 meeting as babies is almost too much (clutches heart)

THIS IS SO GOOD

...if I gently spray you with holy water would it make it worse, and you burn more because of indecent thoughts, or put out the flames---omg

Ayase Chihaya/Wataya Arata, chihayafuru

“It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.” -e.m. forster, a room with a view

LIN... I'M BURNING THIS WAS GREAT

no major content tags // a little sexism/misogyny (not really, but better safe than sorry)

587 words

Tanaka Saeko would lie, if she said she wasn’t a little impressed by Shimizu Kiyoko.
Well, this would also be untrue, because she was, in fact, constantly being swept off her feet by the younger girl’s aura.
Each of her numerous admirers viewed her as a challenge and a prize to be won. They almost always gave up, when the realization Kiyoko wouldn’t perform any of their fantasies on them sank in. Some called her a bitch and warned her that her superiority complex would take its toll on her social life in the future, after she had rejected them. Others just walked away quietly, swallowing the rest of their manly pride. Shimizu regarded the both types with a silent stare that couldn’t be mistaken as anything but dismissal.
Saeko knew her better than them though.
She saw her as a star. Beautiful, cold and distant, but the closer one gets, the warmer and brighter Kiyoko is. Yet still dangerous and unclaimable. She remembered all the tales about her brother’s team’s beautiful manager and the passion in his eyes as he talked about her. Saeko had brushed it off as an exaggeration of a teenage boy with his first longtime crush then.

But there she was now- wiping her palms on her pants, preparing herself for asking the girl who made conventional Japanese beauty standards seem extraordinary out.
What she was the most scared about wasn’t rejection. Not even close to the top. The worst was perspective of disappointment in Shimizu’s eyes and being dismissed as one of the obnoxious, shallow admirers, despite their friendly encounters in the past. Or maybe because of them. She shivered at the thought of her jokes holding no more importance than all the simple-minded attempts to win a date with Kiyoko. She wanted them to matter.
She came prepared. She made additional bento for Ryuu and planned on giving it to him at morning practice, saying he forgot it. He already had one, but she believed he was able to take the hint and help his awesome big sister for once. She didn’t have a plan for actually talking to her little crush, but there’s a time for everything, right?
She was about to enter the gym, when the door suddenly opened, revealing the crush in question.
“Tana- Saeko-san, what are you doing here?”
“Oh, Ryuu forgot his bento today, so I decided to have mercy on him and bring it to him.” She shook the box, but stopped, hearing the contents moving inside. Oops, Ryuu wouldn’t mind, would he?
“I see. Well then, I need to go. Goodbye, Saeko-san.” Kiyoko turned to leave and the woman slapped herself inwardly for missing the perfect chance.
“Ah, wait!” rushed from her mouth. The younger girl turned around and looked expectantly at Saeko without a word. “So, well, do you want to grab a coffee sometime? Uh, maybe?”
A silence followed. This wasn’t her smoothest moment. Maybe she shouldn’t have done it. Kiyoko had probably received all sorts of extraordinary, flashy confessions. She totally screwed this up, didn’t she-
“Sure.”
Saeko rediscovered the phrase “to reach the stars”.

A few days later her brother approached her.
“Woah, you’re so lucky! To think my sis would be the one to conquer Kiyoko-san’s heart!” And she could only shake her head and laugh to herself quietly.

She may have gotten a permission to kiss her goodbye, but Shimizu Kiyoko wasn’t and would never be conquered by her or anyone else in this world.

(sorry)

tegan & sara are GREAT, you should check out their album called 'the con' :>

OP picked an amazing prompt \\o//

THIS WAS SO SWEET ;_____;

Nanase Haruka/Yamazaki Sousuke

"But I tried, didn’t I? Goddamnit, at least I did that.” — Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

S-Sorry it sounds like a rather sad prompt, but I picked this one interested in what Sousuke might be feeling about his future when he sees Haru's and vice versa, if they would talk about it... Anyway yeah disregard this, anything you take from the quote is fine!

Oooh wow. This was incredibly stylish. Dreamy and almost surreal in all the right places, and a real pleasure to read. The last lines especially were very heavy hitting. Thank you for the fill!

thank you!

Ohhhh! That was really gooood! It makes me want to read a longer continuation because UGH AOMINE NO. IT JUST CAN'T END THERE!

Like there's so many words unsaid, I just-- *puts the two together in a room* TALK IT OUT, HAVE A FEELINGS JAM.

AOMINE, SIT BACK DOWN! KUROKO, YOUR MISDIRECTION ISN'T WORKING I SEE YOU MOVING TOWARDS THE DOOR.

((prayer emoji)) y e s. please
