Bonus Round 1

Bonus Round 0 is now closed, and Bonus Round 1 is now open! Let's get creating, shall we?

This round, the theme is book-based AUs.

If you have an idea for something you'd like to see, please leave a book title, the characters involved, and any other details as a PROMPT below. Then read through everyone else's prompts, and leave a FILL for any which catch your eye. Fills can be in any media, and they need not be long, but please put a little effort in--if anyone starts spamming this post for points, we'll be able to tell.

You should place PROMPT/FILL, your current team affiliation and a brief summary in the comment title. NSFW prompts and fills should mention this in the summary or at the top of the post.

You will be awarded five points per prompt for the first five prompts you leave. The first three fills posted for each prompt will receive 15 points, the next three 10 points, and the next three 5 points. Prompts with ten or more fills will no longer receive fill points.

Bonus rounds are still rarepair only, but you can post prompts or fills for any rare ship this round, including gen/platonic ones (which should be indicated with an & as above). However, you may not fill your own prompt. We also encourage people not to fill prompts from their teammates, although the points will not be deducted if you do.

Bonus round fills can include links provided they are publicly viewable. Works can also be cross-posted to other websites, as there is no anonymity requirement in bonus rounds. However, works posted directly to comments will be limited to 16,000 characters by the Dreamwidth comment limit. Longer works should therefore be divided between multiple comments.

Remember, Team Chuck can participate in bonus rounds, and if you change teams, points earned will transfer with you until the end of the team shuffle period.

This round will close on October 6.

FILL: Frankenstein (Team Castiel/Balthazar)

It was the smell of food that drew me to the humble abode. I was hesitant after the treatment I had suffered from the night before from the barbarous villagers, but survival instinct over ruled. I stared into the open window, waiting for a chance to creep up to the sill to salvage the food cooling down, but the scene inside distracted me. It took me a while to understand what about the movements of the three dwellers fascinated me, until I was close enough to see their facial expressions.

When one ran their hand through the hair of another, their face was not filled with contempt like my creators when he touched me, but an emotion I had never seen before. The lips gently tugged back and the eyes creased, almost sparkled? Impossible, eyes do not sparkle.

Once I had sated my hunger, I found myself unable to leave, as curiosity kept my feet rooted to the ground. I had to learn the motivation behind these strangers’ actions.

There were three, all men like my creator, no companions, but they all seemed content nonetheless. I watched them for days and no one came, and no one left. There was no screaming like I had endured, except for at night, but in the morning they resumed their routine, unaffected it seemed. When one would touch another, it had the same tenderness my creator had shown me at my birth, but there was no disgust, only amazement, even though they repeated their actions so often, and surely they could not have changed so much in so little time?

And their lips touched. So often; brief encounters and long sessions of stealing breath. I touched my own lips with my clumsy hands, and felt a hollowness near my chest which I had not felt before.

They had a routine which was not quite obvious to me, but they all worked around each other in such a succinct manner that they were able to predict the others’ move, that it must be choreographed when my attention was elsewhere. One part of this dance was one of the gentlemen, with the deepest voice, enjoyed reading aloud to the others, a past time I partook in secretly; I found myself drinking in his words as much as his companions, constantly learning.

Perpetual time and attention was still not enough to understand some of their habits. For instance, they chose to be as naked as I, and used each other for body heat, which I could not comprehend because I knew they possessed clothes which would have been much more effective?

I found the pain in my chest growing, aching, never ceasing. The more I looked the worse my condition. Although I felt I still had much to learn about my unknowing companions, I left begrudgingly in hope I could by reunited with my father; I had a request he would be a fool to refuse me.

(I wrote this at 3 in the morning so I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense/has mistakes/is too short/isn't what you were after, I hope you still liked it)
