srs2013Bonus 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.

Date: 2013-09-26 02:05 am (UTC)“I don’t have long,” Castiel told him, still panting from the run out of the opera house. He gripped on to Balthazar’s hands, steadying himself as he caught his breath.
They stood in the gardens behind the opera house just after a show. The bright light flooded from the huge glass windows of the opera house and cast a dim glow over the gardens. Castiel cast a worried glance back at the opera house, eyes scanning the windows for the Phantom. He knew how angry the Phantom would get should he find out that he was here with Balthazar. He absolutely forbade him to meet anyone else.
“You’re still letting him control you? The Phantom?” Balthazar asked following Castiel’s gaze.
Castiel averted his eyes from the windows, pursing his lips, “All I want is freedom,” he whispered looking to his feet, “a world with no more night.”
Balthazar slipped his finger beneath Castiel’s chin making him look up, “No more talk of darkness, I'm here, nothing can harm you,” Balthazar whispered leaning in to Castiel, their foreheads resting against one another’s now, “Let me be your freedom. Let me guard you and guide you away from all that darkness.”
He felt like sobbing at Balthazar’s words, the tears burned in his eyes and he swallowed past the lump in his throat, his grip tightening on Balthazar’s hands, “Say you’ll love me,” he whispered his voice trembling and small.
“I love you, you know I do,” Balthazar whispered, moving his hand around Castiel’s waist, pulling the other to him, letting his head rest upon his shoulder as his fingers combed lightly through the other’s hair.
Castiel felt safe here in Balthazar’s arms. Nothing could harm him. Not the darkness, not the Phantom, nothing. He pressed himself into Balthazar’s arms squeezing his eyes shut now as he savored this moment. He rarely got to see Balthazar thanks to the Phantom. But that evening Balthazar had texted him and told him to come to the gardens behind the opera house right after the show. Castiel had done just that, running from backstage after the audience had started to leave.
“Take me away from here,” Castiel whispered into Balthazar’s shoulder, “take me away from him.”
“Shh,” Balthazar whispered kissing the crown of Castiel’s head, “I’ll take you away, I swear it.” He felt Castiel trembling in his arms. Sometimes he felt that there was no way that he and Castiel could be together but then there were these little moments, these stolen escapades that gave him hope.
Lucifer pushed the curtain back a little more as he peered out from his hiding spot. He didn’t want to think that what he saw was the truth. But it was clear enough; Castiel wasn’t in his dressing room when he’d gone to visit him with the gift of a single stalk of a red rose. As he watched Castiel locked in the arms of another, he felt an anger raging inside him but stronger than anger was the feeling of sadness and hurt. He felt the hot tears trickling down his cheeks behind the mask.
“I gave you my music, taught you how to sing,” he whispered leaning his head to the glass, gripping the rose to his chest, “And now look how you've repaid me, denied me and betrayed me,” he sobbed, “He was bound to love you, when he heard you sing. Castiel…my Castiel…” he banged his head on the glass, the pain numb to him.
No one else should have him. Castiel was his. He’d trained him to be this good. Made him the best. Given him all his knowledge on music. Castiel was his property. No one could have him. No one. He shook with rage now as he watched Castiel lean in and kissed the other man on the lips, his hands threading in the man’s hair. The way they were pressed against each other, kissing like that when they thought he wasn’t watching. It disgusted him.
“You…Castiel…” he growled, his breath fogging up the window, “you will curse the day that you decided to disobey the Phantom.”
He stormed from the window, adjusting the white mask as he went along. He threw the rose down; not even noticing as he walked out that the rose had been crushed under his step as he left, leaving a reddish stain on the white marble floor.
The only indication that anyone had been there watching the two of them…
