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.

Comments

FILL, Team Crowley/Sam, Breakfast

[assdictionary]

Kevin liked his new apartment. He'd been there for a good two months now, and he was glad to be away from home, despite how much he loved his mom. His apartment was good and warm and comfortable, and he could keep it neat and find it easy, and he just liked the new space.

The freedom was good, even if it was maybe a little lonely. Kevin was happy enough. Valentine's Day was coming up, but Kevin hadn't taken any time to meet girls or guys or... Well. Anyone, in all actuality.

It wasn't that Kevin was anti-social or anything like that, but he just didn't really have the time to go and hang out in bars - he had work to do, and he did enjoy spending his time on it, especially as he could work from home with no stress from meeting people or anything like that.

Kevin had broken up with his girlfriend before leaving home, not wanting to leave her hanging, and now, here he was. Alone. Without anyone. At all.

Well. Maybe it was a bit lonely.

It was Valentine's Day morning when Kevin left the house, and he moved to get groceries in the morning, before most everyone had woken up and taken the best lemons (they always took the best lemons) and damn it, Kevin liked the cook with a bit of lemon juice and he would never stoop to that sugared shit in a bottle.
He walked home with his fruit and a few assorted groceries, but then stopped short on the stairs. The bouquet in front of his door was gorgeous, in red wrapping paper, of a dozen or so roses. "Oh." Kevin murmured, taking a step forwards and leaning to pick up the card.

You look absolutely gorgeous. We haven't spoken before, but I'd like to.

Sam (202)


The man was standing a little nervously in the corridor, and Kevin looked to him, offering him a small smile.

"Sam." He greeted. "I'm Kevin. I'd, er, well, I'd shake your hand, but I've kind of got my hands-"

"Oh, God, sorry, look, I'll take your bag and then you can open your door-"

Sam helped Kevin unpack his groceries, and watched as Kevin carefully set the flowers down on his coffee table. "Uh, um, would you like some breakfast?" Kevin asked. "I mean, I've got waffles, if you like them."

"I like them." Sam said softly. "I'd, uh, I'd like that, too." Kevin beamed at him.

"Great. Great." Sam grinned right back.
