Bonus Round 2

[fantalaimon]

Bonus Round 1 is now closed, and Bonus Round 2 is now open!

This round, the theme is holidays/special occasions.

If you have an idea for something you'd like to see, please leave the ship, a holiday/special occasion, and any other details as a PROMPT below. After you've posted, 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. Do not forget to change the title of the comment when posting a FILL as a reply to a PROMPT. NSFW prompts and fills should mention this in the summary or at the top of the post. Reminder that team names must be in alphabetical order (ie. Balthazar/Death, not Death/Balthazar) and that portmanteaus (ie. Lubriel, Annaby) are not allowed when identifying team affiliation.

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). Due to some unforeseen complication from last round, we have changed the rules. It is now 15 points per fill for the first three fills by three different people. So if someone does a fic for Fill 1 and a fanmix for Fill 2, then get 15 + 10 points, and then Person 2 does a fill and Person 3 does a fill, so even though those would be fills 3 and 4, they count as 15 and 15 points since they're fills by new people. You are still not permitted to 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 is now closed.

Prompt, (Team Crowley/Sam), Christmas Miracles [Adam/Samandriel(Alfie)]

[mooseleys]

It's Christmas again and even though he begs to stay home his mother is once again dragging Adam to church with her for early Christmas morning mass. He plans to spend the entire time doing everything he can just to stay awake until he can get back home to catch up on sleep. What he doesn't plan on is falling head over heels in love at first sight for the shy choir boy who sings with the voice of an angel seated not 10 feet away from him. His mother is pleasantly surprised when he offers to stay after and help out with the church's Christmas banquet. If only she knew the real reason for his change of heart.

Fill, Team Balthazar/Castiel, Christmas Miracles [Adam/Samandriel(Alfie)]

[destielixer]

His head jerks up at the sound of the choirboys singing. Adam is disoriented for a moment before he remembers he’s in church. Ugh. And with the choirboys singing, that means it’s time to stand. The sermon is over Adam didn’t even realize that he’d been asleep! As usual his mom had dragged him to the earliest Christmas morning mass once again despite his pleas to stay in bed. He didn’t need to sing or pray so early in the morning anyway.

Adam grudgingly stood and joined in singing. His eyes drift across the aisle to the choirboys. There’s something about them that screams ‘innocent little boys’. His mom had tried to get him to join and thank god he hadn’t or he would have been here like really early in the morning before the sun was up for rehearsals and what ever it is that choirboys do before mass.

He stopped singing halfway through the first verse of ‘Silent Night’. There was a voice so angelic, so pure that he couldn’t bear to drown out. One of the choirboys. Definitely not the ones across the aisle, so he turns and lo and behold not ten feet away in the choir stand was the source of the angelic voice. Adam couldn’t help but to stare and he noticed how the boy smiled shyly at him as their eyes met and his cheeks turned a rosy red before he looked back to his hymnal.

Just like that Adam knows that he’s head over heels in love with this angelic voiced boy.

“So I thought maybe I’d just hang around a little, y’know? Stay and help out with the Christmas banquet and stuff,” Adam says as he glances at his mother, then back into the church. The choirboys have dispersed and he can’t seem to find that boy again. He thinks that maybe if he stays a little longer he just might have the chance.

Of course his mother is really pleased that he’s actually staying in the church to help with the banquet instead of running back home to his videogames. And Adam is allowed to roam free without the watchful eye of his mom. After all how much damage can he cause on holy ground right?

Adam doesn’t see the boy until just before the dinner. As evening’s dark blanket slowly covers the sky, Adam catches a glimpse of him round the back in the kitchen. Quickly he darts around the corner seeing the boy there, his blue eyes looking to him.

“Were you following me the whole day?” he asked, seemingly amused.

Adam nodded, “Sort of…”

“I don’t see you around here much you know. In fact this is like…my third time I’ve seen you in awhile.”

“Oh so you do look out for me,” he says grinning and the boy blushes, his cheeks going red as tomatoes.

“You were looking at me too,” he answers back, his voice soft.

“Yeah, I was. I heard you singing, it was beautiful,” he says as they lean against the wall at the back of the kitchen, watching as the adults are prepping the banquet in the field below.

“Thank you. Oh, by the way I’m Samandriel,” the boy says, then continues, “But you can call me Alfie.”

“Alfie, nice,” Adam says trying out the name a few times, “I’m Adam Milligan.”

“The bad boy,” Alfie puts in and Adam laughs.

“So my mum tells me.”

“She must’ve got a shock seeing as you wanted to stay.”

“You think?” Adam asked as he scooted closer to Alfie, his fingers brushing the shy choirboy’s hand. He thought that Alfie might move away but instead the other boy intertwined their fingers.

Alfie smiles, leaning his head on Adam’s shoulder, “Well it is Christmas and miracles always happen during Christmas.”

“Hmm I guess you’re right,” Adam whispered, squeezing Alfie’s hand as they watched the glimmering lights lining the tentage come on as evening settled over the church grounds.

Adam smiled to himself.

Oh if only his mom knew the real reason for his change of heart.
