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.

Matsuoka Rin/Ryuugazaki Rei // (RinRei), Free!

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great" -- Zig Zaglar

Their relationship developed a lot in season 2 and I was very happy at how they helped each other and grew closer. So proud of these two on their achievements and how they overcame such life's hurdles. (pfft-- that pun was for you Rei. you ex-track dork)

I COULD WRITE A NOVEL FROM THIS IM HELP

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 ； )

participant 9.

rei watches.
his eyes glide over rin
he stands there with his team
their team, but undoubtedly, his team.
the huddle can’t be described any other way but
beautiful
he thinks.

the tile is cold against his feet
rin curls his toes on it
anticipation from again
he flicks his eyes over to rei in the stands
his heart beats there too.

the gun rings and their hearts sync.

rin-san, please teach me.
