Bonus Round 4: Official Art
Bonus Round 4: Official Art
This round is CLOSED. Late fills can be posted, but they won't receive points.
Memorable canon moments, bizarre omakes, tantalizing magazine spreads—this is the round to explore them all. Bring out your screencaps, promotional art, and manga pages, and let's talk about what really happened.
Please read the rules carefully before posting!
RULES
- Submit prompts in the form of a canon screencap from one of our nominated fandoms along with a ship. Screencaps can be from an anime or manga, as well as any other kind of offshoot media, e.g. official art, drama CD covers, light novel illustrations, magazine covers, and/or caps from games. Doujinshi, fan-made games or any other fan-created work should not be prompted, even if you receive permission. Only prompt screencaps that are taken from a piece of canon media.
- Keep your prompt concise. Don't prompt a whole manga chapter, for example.
- Upload the cap somewhere (imgur works well) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Riko & Momoi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Riko/Momoi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work inspired by the cap.
- Fills can be directly connected to the cap, e.g. panel redraws or writing fic that fleshes out the moment that was capped or that fleshes out what happened directly before/after, but fills can also be more indirectly linked. As long as the work is somehow inspired by the cap, it counts.
- Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

FILL: TEAM AOYAGI HAJIME/TESHIMA JUNTA, G
Not quite sure if this is completely IC but...I am definitely more intrigued with this pairing now. Pining!Naruko is a lot cuter than I expected.
It’s a rare occasion that Naruko gets to spend any quality time with his captain, Kinjou.
His captain is an all-rounder, an amazing cyclist and while Naruko isn’t too bad himself, the fact comes down to that he’s a sprinter, through and through. When they aren’t practicing as a team of six for Inter-high, Kinjou has them split up into different groups: Climbers, Sprinters, and lastly, All-Rounders. This leaves Naruko paired up with his least-favorite, old-man senpai for most practices while Kinjou and Imaizumi go off and race with each other...wherever they go and race with each other.
And that’s fine. It is. Naruko, not that he likes to admit it much, has been learning a lot of thing from Tadokoro and has gotten even faster than he was since he joined the cycling team at the beginning of the year. So really, he can’t complain.
But on the days where they practice together, he can’t help but let his gaze wander until it lands on their captain. His cycling is so strong, so powerful, and Naruko often wishes that he had that as much control over his bike and body as Kinjou had over his own. Naruko prides himself on being fast, but how cool would it be if he could be fast and strong, just like Kinjou?
It’s a thought that stays with him when he starts training himself more on climbs before the Inter-high. Tadokoro is the one to tell him to train, but it’s the team, it’s his captain that he thinks of as he climbs hill after hill.
He catches his captain still in the club room one day when he comes back for his own extra training as the sun’s setting. Kinjou’s still on the rollers, alone, sweating dripping onto towels on the floor. The sight of his captain working so hard makes him want to work even harder, more than Kinjou himself because if this is how Kinjou is so good, then Naruko would have to work at least twice as hard.
Maybe then he’d actually be able to practice with his captain alone instead of hot shot Imaizumi, but then again, he’s still a sprinter. Just a sprinter.
And that’s how he ends his Inter-high experience too, as a sprinter that has given his everything to send his team forward. From the moment that he crashes into the ground, everything is a blur. His vision’s completely black and everything sounds fuzzy, and when they move him to the recovery van and he gives into the darkness.
When he comes to, his vision still black, but everything is cool. Everything but something on his shoulder. He can’t move any of his body, so it takes him a while to realize that something is touching his shoulder and eventually can place the feel of a hand and fingers. He must make some sort of noise because the hand gently squeezes down.
“Naruko, are you awake?”
With all things considered, Kinjou is the one that should be with him in the recovery...thing. Place. Wherever they are, but the sound of his captain’s voice surprises him. Still, thinking about where they are, the first words that Naruko says are
“I’m sorry, Kinjou-san.” Because he is. He’s sorry for being here, for having to drop out, but he’s not sorry for giving the rest of Sohoku a chance. Still, being next to his captain who had to drop out being of his knee...they’re the only words that come out.
The hand squeezes his shoulder again and another weight settles next to him. Carefully, Naruko lifts his hand to his face, feeling for what must be a cold rag and carefully pulling it up. His vision still isn’t the best, but there’s no denying the back of his captain that he’s stared at all these months.
It would be so easy to reach out and touch him, and maybe in this moment Kinjou would let him, but his captain’s voice stops his hand as it starts moving.
“There’s always next year.” Kinjou says, and stands up again when the announcers talk about the current rankings.
Naruko wants to say there’s no next year with you but instead he takes in the rare moment of shock on Kinjou face when it’s announced that Onoda is riding in the front. It's almost adorable. It makes him want to smile.
Sure, there would be no next year for Naruko and his captain, so he would just live in every moment he could get.

I basically Had To Write This, it completes a set with my other fills so nicely. I hope it's silly enough.
Naruko couldn’t see the way Kinjou’s broke when they first brought him into the med tent. But when they first brought him into the med tent, Naruko couldn’t see shit.
Kinjou sat himself down near Naruko’s head in quiet contemplation. His polarized sport shades were useless in the darkness of the tent, but without prescription lenses the world went fuzzy around him. He was able to monitor Naruko’s limp, dehydrated form better from a spot close enough for him to distinguish his blurred facial features from one another. Kinjou got the chance to fret over the state of the team and mourn what he assumed were Naruko’s broken dreams (hadn’t he overheard the first years make some bizarre pact to cross the finish line together? They knew nothing of harsh realities, but he admired them all the more for their childish goals) for all of three minutes, before Naruko began to talk.
“Captain Shades,” Naruko mumbles. Kinjou whipped his head around. Naruko’s eyes were still covered with a wet cloth.
“If it’s you, this must really be… the end.” Was he delirious?
“Tell mom and dad I love them. And Sakura and Kyou…” and Kinjou couldn’t hear as Naruko listed off the names of his remaining siblings. He leaned in to try to catch the soft humming of the words that couldn’t quite manage to leave Naruko’s lips.
“Naruko, listen…” he began.
“Just you and me now, huh, Captain beefcake,” Naruko said, with renewed articulation.
“What did you call me? Anyway, Naruko, we’re not dead.”
“I wish you could have seen it, at least,” he continued, blatantly ignoring Kinjou. “I was… so cool.”
At that, Kinjou smiled fondly. “I don’t doubt it one bit.”
“I know hotshot and Onoda were your favorites,” Naruko plowed on, oblivious. “Go figure when I do something cool, you’re not around to watch it.”
Woah woah, what? Kinjou thought. Had he been playing favorites that badly? Imaizumi and Onoda were just the kind of people who needed more gentle nudging and he’d thought- Naruko didn’t react well to authority- Tadokoro had it taken care of—
“I never got the chance,” Naruko muttered, “you would have been so impressed if you were there, Captain gorgeous,” and Kinjou’s heart broke a little more. This kid had just been trying to impress him. He didn’t even register the new nickname.
“With your big pretty eyes and your… sunglasses… back muscles,” Naruko started to lose coherence again. A single tear (or more likely sweat, but Kinjou was in a sentimental mood, and recovering from heat exhaustion himself) slid down the side of Naruko’s face, from under the damp towelette that covered his eyes.
Kinjou leaned in, even though he doubted Naruko would be able to hear him. “Listen, Shoukichi-kun,” he said. “I already admire your drive so much. Never give up.” Kinjou sat up again, straightening his back. “Also, like I said, it’s not over yet.”
