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.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• You cannot fill your team's prompts or your own prompts.

PROMPT: TEAM KAGEYAMA TOBIO/OIKAWA TOORU

[intricacies]

kageyama tobio/oikawa tooru, haikyuu!!

Don’t know what to say when you made me the enemy
After the war is won, there’s always the next one
I'm not bulletproof when it comes to you

Maybe I’ll crash into you; maybe we'll open up these wounds
We’re only alive if we bruise, so I lay down this armor
I will surrender tonight before we both lose this fight

— Landon Austin, "Armor"

no tags
poem, 15 lines

Press purple-blue-black bruises in the space below
your shirt collar, with mouths and hands-- teeth and fingernails,
and when you scream I know its more out of pleasure
than pain,
or maybe not,
but I'm not quite sure that I care.

Maybe there's a reason that we fit,
not like puzzle pieces, but like the
mangled metal of a car crash.
So wrapped around each other with the
beauty of death, destruction, that we lost who we once were.

Somehow now you're me,
and maybe I'm you,
but I'll only stop fighting when we're both too broken to move.

It's okay as long as you lose too.

Number 4

Ive always been
Stronger

You tell me between half whispered promises
And I try my best to believe you.

Always been strong
But never strong enough to
Tear myself away from your influence,
Strong enough to dislike
The feel of your fingers pressing
Into the sides of my throat
The hollows of my cheekbones
Like bowls for your keys

You own every bit
Of me that's left

And if I'm strong then it's
Only what you gave me
