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.

I'm not scared of the dark though you tangle and tease me
Bite worse than your bark you said you'd never leave me
The devil may care but he don't, please believe me
Oh love of my life, won't you let me down easy?

no warnings

i had told myself way back when
that i do not want to love you.
that i would rather take the secret in my own heart to the grave
than speak it aloud and risk falling.

but you have been and always will be the sun,
the brightest thing i’ve ever seen
and you illuminate thoughts that i didn’t want to think about
(that i didn’t think i’d ever have)
and open up parts of me i thought were sewn shut.

you, the concept of you
(and, the better concept of you and me)
makes my heart unravel in the confines of my chest.
what was once hollow now isn’t.
and i let it come undone.

(for you, i would.
for you, i do.)

but leaving myself open and vulnerable like that is a risk
one i would take
but one i might regret

but that’s what happens when you fly too close to the sun
you burn, and sometimes you fall.
(but i don’t want to fall,
i want to soar and reach and reach, higher, higher.)

the higher i fly, the greater the fall,
but if it means i have a chance in hell,
i would take it.
(for you, i would take it.)

but if i don’t, and i burn myself
reaching for something unobtainable,
let me fall gently
let me down easy.

so there might be some hope of untangling myself
from this woven and intertwined mess people so fondly call love
