Bonus Round 5: Remixes

SASO 2016 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).


Congrats, this is the home stretch! You've worked hard and created hundreds of fanworks for sports anime fandom to enjoy. This round encourages you to look back at everything the SASO has made and use it as inspiration.

This round ends at 7PM on August 8 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

• Choose a fanwork created by other participants in a previous main or bonus round of SASO and create a new piece based on it. You could create a fanart of another work, an FST inspired by a piece’s style, retell another person’s fanfic from another point of view, create a new fanfic inspired by a great piece of art... go wild!
• You cannot remix your teammates' works.
• You must have permission from the original creator. There's a blanket permissions post here (feel free to add yourself to it!), or you can leave a comment on their original post asking for permission.
• You must include a link to the original work in your post.

There were two surprises awaiting Makoto and Haru at the vet’s clinic.


Surprise No. 1: Cocoa was a lady cat, and not the gentleman feline they had always thought her to be.

Surprise No. 2: Cocoa, a rather irresponsible lady cat, was not just fat because she had been stealing and eating Haru’s saba. She was pregnant.


Makoto simply gaped at his cherished pet, blown over by two consecutive waves of what he considered to be straight-up betrayal.

How could he have not known this?

How could Cocoa go ahead and get himself- no wait, herself- knocked up like this?


Haru sat next to Makoto, patting his boyfriend’s shoulder, suppressing a self-satisfied smirk.

He always suspected Cocoa was a traitorous hussy of a cat who’d won Makoto over with underhanded means, such as purring cutely and being fluffy.

Now Makoto would see.

Now he would realize how deceitful this cat really was.



After bringing Cocoa home, Makoto collapsed on the bed, unable to deal with the fact that his cat was going to produce a number of smaller cats quite soon.

Despite his undying love for all things that meowed, Makoto was not ready to be a grandparent just yet.

He was face down on the bed, groaning into the pillow, when Cocoa found her way in and made his broad back her new hangout spot.

With the feeling of her warm weight pressing down on him, Makoto let out another muffled groan of anguished frustration into his favorite pillow.

He couldn’t exactly scold a cat, or reprimand her for not using protection before indulging herself with whatever ruffian, streetwalking lover she’d picked up without so much as consulting with Makoto.

Not that he expected Cocoa to ask his permission before dating.

Wait, did cats date?

How did they get to know each before, you know, doing stuff?

Cocoa could at least have brought the father of her children around for a quick visit to the apartment or something, before starting a family with him.

Makoto shook his fists angrily at the imaginary figure of Cocoa’s lover- that villainous absconder, who had left his precious cat to raise a litter on her own after having his fun with her lady bits.



When Haru walked into the bedroom, all his intention to gloat at Cocoa’s expense vanished at the sight of a vanquished Makoto, being sat upon by a very fat cat.

Haru settled down next to Makoto in their bed, and gently soothed the small of his back.

“Where did I go wrong with her, Haru?” Makoto’s voice was still muffled by the pillow.

“I didn’t notice it either. Maybe if I wasn’t blaming her for getting fat off my fish, we would have figured it out sooner.” This was the closest Haru would ever come to apologizing for his consistent failure to get along with Cocoa, and Makoto was thankful for it.

“What’re we gonna do, Haru? Where will we keep all her children? There isn’t enough room. What if she has 6 kittens, Haru? WHERE WILL THEY GO?” Makoto got up unthinkingly, and Cocoa elegantly slid off his back onto the bed.

The cat looked infuriatingly self-satisfied as she sat there, licking her paws, enjoying the scene unfolding in front of her.

“We’ll figure it out, Makoto. Now stop whining.” Haru shot an angry look at Cocoa before taking Makoto in his arms.


Whenever Makoto was distressed, he loved being cuddled.

And even though Haru never admitted it, he loved being the bigger spoon in bed, holding Makoto’s head against his chest, whispering soothing words in his ear.

Makoto immediately slid his arms around Haru, buried his head against Haru’s shirt, breathing in his scent, relaxing visibly.

“We’ll figure something Makoto. It’ll be fine. Worse comes to worst, we’ll have a batch of kittens to raise. That’d make you happy, won’t it?” Haru ran his fingers softly through Makoto’s tangled hair, pausing only to kiss the top of his head now and then.

“And you’d be okay with more cats? You and Cocoa have enough trouble getting along as it is. I couldn’t do that to you.” Makoto hugged Haru closer, letting himself be comforted, savoring their intimacy.

Haru sighed deeply before shooting Cocoa another ugly glance.

“I’d do whatever makes you happy. You know that already, don’t you? Baka Makoto.” Haru smacks Makoto’s back lightly, feigning to reprimand him.


“I love you Haru.”

“Shut up, Makoto.”

“Nyaaaannnn.”

Cocoa somehow managed to join in the cuddling, fighting with Haru for Makoto’s attention.

As always.

“I’m done swimming. I quit.”

And in that moment, Haru’s world turned dark. His head, along with the room, started spinning, questions spiraling all around as Rin turned around and started jogging. Jogging away from Haru.

“Rin, wait-“ Haru called out, his arm reaching out in Rin’s direction, trying to stop him, to understand, to do anything.

But Rin was already gone.

And Haru stood there, completely frozen.

What…what on earth just happened?

Haru had known from the moment that he’d laid his eyes on Rin at the train-crossing that something had been up. While Haru had been happy to see him (he wouldn’t admit it out loud, but…he’d missed the energetic redhead’s constant presence), Rin had seemed…off. He hadn’t shown any excitement in seeing Haru for the first time in a year. He hadn’t mentioned anything about Australia. His smile had been strained.

The lack of light in his eyes worried Haru.

But Haru had decided that maybe the long flight had just worn-out Rin, or he was just having a bad day. Nothing too bad, nothing that couldn’t be fixed.

But a mere half-an-hour later, as Rin sat in front of him on the tiled floor with tears streaming down his face, clutching his goggles in his lap, Haru knew that he’d been wrong. So, so wrong.

It was supposed to be a friendly race, like always. Haru had stood at his starting block, a warm sensation coursing through his body as he glanced at Rin, who was adjusting his goggles on the starting block beside him. He felt unexpectedly excited.

I get to swim with Rin again.

And the whole time, Haru had been enjoying it. Enjoying the feeling of Rin’s energy in the water, of his heart speeding up as he made the turn. It had been fun.'

Until he’d seen Rin’s face as they got out of the water.

They’d stayed on opposite sides of the changing room, each one trying to shower and change faster than each other in the thick, awkward silence. Haru had kept glancing at Rin, still utterly confused and stunned. He wasn’t crying anymore, but his eyes were firmly glued to the ground, completely avoiding Haru’s gaze.

Rin had finished changing first. And, still avoiding Haru’s gaze, had stuffed his towel into his duffel bag and run out. Haru had slipped on his shirt and, not even bothering to put his towel in his bag, had started running after Rin.

“I quit.”

And now Haru stood alone, his arm shakily dropping back to his side as he looked in front of him to where Rin had just been standing.

And a sudden surge of guilt washed over him.

He’d…he’d made Rin cry. He wasn’t sure why, but he’d made Rin upset by beating him.

Rin is quitting swimming because of me.”

Haru’s hands clenched into fists. What had he done? What had suddenly happened?

And that’s when Haru decided:

If I made Rin stop swimming, then…then it’s only fair that I do to.

His fists clenched even tighter, making his nails dig into his palms. It’s not what he wanted, but…for Rin, that’s what he’d do.

no archive warnings apply. lapslock. all underlined words are from adele’s “cold shoulder". remixed from intricacies’s BR3 fill.
426 words




oikawa-san is usually impatient with him. “it’s all in your head,” he frowns. “the things you think just don’t make sense.” he goes all coy, and tobio watches the blinds behind his eyes close.

(he’s learned the quality of pride from him, taken its lessons to heart. he doesn’t ask--never asks anything at all, merely for oikawa-san grace him with his cold shoulder. he can do everything else by himself, with that little scrap of attention. he can fight for the rest.)

these days, when tobio sees him, he makes him feel like he’s see-through. oikawa-san was always aware of how other people acted and felt. it was like a superpower, how he could render tobio transparent as glass. his words, made of knives, cut through to him just as easily. he always sees his doubts.

“your heart’s not in it,” he’ll frown. “and i guess i don’t keep you satisfied.” it’ll be after he pulls tobio apart, when he’s at his most vulnerable: after oikawa-san leaves bite marks on his skin and leaves him to an empty bed. maybe when he’s half-asleep, arms empty of oikawa-san’s body. tobio always sleeps on his side, in case oikawa-san will ever come back to press himself against him--but it’s always cold when he wakes.

the reply is already on tobio’s tongue; he’d like to say: don’t turn it around on me like it’s my fault. you know i know just how you feel--and i’m starting to find that i feel that way, too.

tobio pretends to stay asleep while oikawa-san drums gentle fingers against his ribcage, just above his heartbeat. when he leaves, rustling for clothes and clicking the door shut behind him, he opens his eyes. he’s waiting for the last of it: for oikawa-san to say, you’re wasting my time.




time and time again, tobio plays the role of fool--just for him. he doesn’t know anyone else he likes enough, knows enough to do this with, and doesn’t know if he could be this way with anyone else. it’s not love, it’s something sharper. it’s not hate, it’s something stronger. he clings to him, desperate to keep the shape of him just to know what he himself is, but it just isn’t sustainable. they burn each other too brightly, to the bone, for it to ever last.

tobio opens himself up for oikawa-san, for him to dig deep into him and mark him, inside-out. he craves him, inexplicably, incomprehensibly. but he does know how he plays. when oikawa-san kisses him, now, he closes his eyes, too.

Hearts and Honeysuckle (470 words) (IwaOi)

He looked so serene there, lying in the bed of pale blue and periwinkle blossoms. They seemed to leech what little color was left in his skin, leaving it blanched and drawn. The fair hair that had been a source of pride to him now added only to his ghostly appearance, not his earthly beauty, and the silver crown glinted coldly amid the curls.

He wore such a serene, yet such a sad expression, the likes of which he may have worn at his lowest point. He looked chilled; forlorn; alone.

Iwaizumi couldn't bring himself to feel anything. His whole being was hollow-- that was all.

Clutched close to his own breast was a small bundle of orange and white sprigs. It felt as though his heartbeat could travel into and reverberate through the flowers, although he knew that was just an illusion. They smelled sweet-- sweet like Oikawa's satin hair.

He tried to draw a breath, but that beloved scent seemed to choke and strangle him. It was all he could do to take one step, then one more, forward.

"My... king." He couldn't bring himself to say the name-- that would make it too real.

Moving to lay the small bouquet down, Iwaizumi became vaguely aware of a tugging from deep within his chest. And, as he pushed the flowers farther from himself and toward the boy amid the bellflowers, he saw his own heartstrings tangled with the stalks. A heavy emptiness settled in his ribcage, accompanied by the sucking sensation of his heart being pulled from his body, amid his offering of honeysuckle, to lie against and bleed some living color across the chest of the boy in the coffin.

... ... ...

Iwaizumi woke with a small gasp, keenly aware of a single bead of sweat rolling across his forehead. He shifted his eyes over, momentarily afraid to move, checking that Oikawa was still asleep beside him.

The fair-haired, fair-skinned boy was smiling a childish smile, his pillow wrestled into an embrace as if it were a teddybear. It looked like was having a pleasant dream, and for a moment Iwaizumi decided not to wake him.

But, for all his emphasis on the good of the team when they were on the court, he was essentially selfish when it came to Oikawa. And so he kissed the other boy, and kissed him again sweetly until he stirred.

"Mm... Iwa-chan...?" he murmured sleepily, halfheartedly returning the kiss.

"Hey," was the reply, and Iwaizumi kissed him again. "You know... you're not alone, right...? Are you... okay...?"

"Yeah... yeah..." Oikawa replied drowsily, then released the pillow in favor of looping his arms around his boyfriend. "Love you, Iwa-chaaan..."

And Iwaizumi forced a smile-- a painful, genuine smile that barely kept him from crying. "I love you too. Please... don't forget that."

Death is a trickster demon

But I’ve made a friend of it

For the sake of you

I’ve spun stories for us to live in

Built castles in the air

And under the sea

To be with you



You-

Who share my soul

I would live life after life

Drowning in the grief

Of my own mortality, and yours

If dying would see you

Next to me once more



Fire burns above the water and black depths gape beneath

I’d bargain with Death again and again

For one more kiss with you

LAST MINUTE FILL FOR A LAST MINUTE FILL - audio link here

(to the tune of Nikki Minaj's "Catch Me", please forgive my rap non skill)

Extra spectacular, paralleled by none,
I fall perpendicular
Some people say oh now that's just ridiculous
Why should I parachute, just take the bus
It's only goin' to school, who do you think you are?
But you know me better than the others
You're there waitin' out, yeah got me covered
When I'm not aimin' up at the lander
Thinkin' I was on, you telling me I'm off
Your whole self holding me when you make that call
That's the reason I'm free to free fall,
I know you know I can trust you with my all.
Saying, "Usu", I know, it's okay if I fall
You have given your all
Funny how you could always make me feel tall
You have given your all

[Chorus:]
Catch me, catch me, I think I'm gon' fall
My mind is made up, I'm waiting for ya
I'm waiting on you, waiting, boy
My mind is set, I'm waiting on ya
I'm waiting for you, waiting boy
Could you catch me, could you catch me,
Could you catch me?
I am waiting on you to catch me

Kabaji-i, Kabaji-i, Kabaji-i
It's, it's whatever I say,
You'll do
And I just wanna say,
THANK YOU
You are at my disposal.

My mind is made up, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting on you, waiting, boy
My mind is set, I'm waiting on you,
I'm waiting for you, waiting, boy
Could you catch me, catch me, catch me
Could you catch me, catch me catch me
Could you catch me I am waiting on you to catch me, catch me catch me
