Bonus Round 1

Genre-Mixing

Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.

Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.

Rules

1. Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of two different genres and one ship. This cannot be your team's ship! These are worth 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.


2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!


3. You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.


4. Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

surrealism, 100 words or less

((I'm so sorry.))


Bro was used to a lot of strange shit happening in his life. Really, really strange shit.
But this… was just weird.

No, seriously, this shit was fucking weirder than a tabby cat with buttered toast strapped to its back falling through the blue-orange portal game set-up in an attempt to create a perpetual motion machine.

Yes, it was weirder than that mental image you just had.

He could have anyone he wanted. Anything he wanted. And out of anyone in the world, he had himself in bed with him tonight.

Maybe he should lay off the hallucinogens.

i.... this is so bad i'm sorry u__u

There is a door.

Sometimes. In your dreams. It’s always closed, but you can see a figure on the other side. Dim, fuzzy, like you’re looking through frosted glass.

“I know who you are.”

His accent is thick, “Ain’t that hard to figure out, kid.”

You’re not a kid.

“You’re right. We’re not.”

He’s there, but not. A shard of a forgotten universe, cracking the surface of your own. But you can feel him, and his fingertips ghost on your skin, leaving hot trails.

You open orange eyes to look at him but he’s gone. However;

There is a door.

FILL: TEAM JOHN<3ROSE

You're mirrored metal and slick black plastic and broken radio waves (you singular, you plural). Sick fires heating cold steel, ticking hearts beating in 8/8 time together.

(black leather, hot bare skin, living and dead flesh, how fitting to you singular, you plural)

You (both) take wry amusement from giving this new meaning to the phrase "self-love". There's nothing you do better. You might as well be honest with yourself (yourselves).

You're a one man (two man three man four man) endless hall of looking glasses behind looking glasses.
