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.

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.

You showed me strength in my skin, that no one else could see." - Telescope, Yellowcard

A TINY YELL, this is so cute. Flustered Mihashi is like 90% of Mihashis but I never tire of it, and ahhhh, Abe's tiny little blush! I love how soft this is, bless you.

How can one get tired of flustered Mihashi? He's just too cute. Thank you, glad you like it!

there may be a different catcher on home plate,
but i’m eternally grateful for the one who showed the way
the one who held my hand,
the one to thank for where i am now,
standing on center stage,
the pitcher’s mound at nationals,
the roar of the crowd painted with our colors
serves as the background to a career in the sport that
shut me out, only for you to open the door
and extend your hand

i reached out to you, your grip firm and steady
within your hold was a promise, three years, you said
but the product of your hard work, and mine combined
were the stepping stones for many years after, until
i could hold myself steady, on that block, leg pointed high,
my body working through the familiar motions

a big windup,
one to make you proud.
