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

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.

Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

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

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

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

RPG game + Post apocalyptic for Sollux <3 Aradia

It was dark. The sky was stormy and Sollux's eyes wandered around the desolate land. It didn't feel too different from the world he lived in, the world Aradia lived in. But at least here, they could save it.

"Are you ready, Sollux?" said Aradia, eyes brimming with determination as she clutched her whip. She was clad in a hooded red tunic and a breastplate, with armor on her arms and legs as well. She was his best friend, a brave and beautiful girl, and he didn't know where he'd be without her, even outside the game. Especially outside the game.

Sollux nodded. "Ath ready ath we'll ever be..." he said, his hands glowing as he prepared his magic. He was wearing a dark green cloak on top of yellow robes. They were the only two left to face the final boss in their team. It was time to save the world, and to beat the game.

The boss appeared, a creepy, dark skeleton-like creature of immense size. Aradia leaped ahead before Sollux could say another word. She began attacking the monster rapidly but to no avail. Sollux began blasting it with spells. Their combined effort seemed to be doing some damage.

They continued to attack, dodging hits but taking a few at the same time. Finally, the skeleton seemed to be running out of energy. Or so they thought. Out from it's jaws came a brilliant blue flame, aimed directly at Sollux.

"Sollux, look out!" Aradia quickly took the hit, falling. Sollux screamed as he watched her hit the ground. He rushed to her side, but quickly finished off the creature with a few more spells, as it seemed that attack took the rest of its stamina.

He held Aradia close, looking down at the brave girl he so admired. She slowly opened her eyes, looking up at him. She smiled, touching his cheek.

"You did it..." she said weakly.
"No AA, we did it." he said, hugging her tighter.

The sky began to clear, their surroundings looking beautiful again. Aradia sat up, looking around. The game was over.

"I wish we could do this in real life..."
"I wish we could too...

"I also mean, spending time together!" said Aradia cheerfully. "You know, in person..."

"That... would be really nithe." Sollux said, blushing.

"It's a date then!"
"I gueth it ith."

Hey, so I was going to fill this, but I don't think I have the time to finish it and my own R1 entry because I'm going to be without internet starting tomorrow. Actually, this was my first time doing this kind of thing in a long time, so I don't know if I would've had it finished even if I wasn't going to be gone. So here, see what I got started on because I don't want to just leave it unseen because this alone was a lot of effort for me?

It wasn't going to be a whole game, but it would've been several gifs made to look like a game.

This doesn't count as a fill obviously but if I can get everything else done and somehow finish this in time I'll try to get it here!
