Bonus Round 1

[fantalaimon]

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.

Prompt, Team Balthazar/Castiel, The Song of Achilles AU

[destielixer]

AU. Based on the book The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Dean takes on the role of Achilles, the callous and arrogant prince who is tender to none other than his closest friend Patroclus (Castiel). So despite their differences in personality, they grow closer together as young men and they form a very intimate bond. It would be nice to write about how they met, one of the many sparring practices that they've been in together that results in one of them finding out that the other is in love with him. When word comes that Helen of Sparta (Sam i guess unless you can fit any other character into this role) has been kidnapped and the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in his/her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Dean joins their cause. And torn between love and fear for Dean, Castiel follows him into war. Preferably no character deaths. Severe injury is fine as long as the character recovers!
