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.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)

road support

It was dark out, and the only current light came from the headlight of Dave's bike as he pulled up next to her.

"you came quick!"
"you were on my route"

Aradia raises an eyebrow at him, making it clear she was not entirely convinced. When he shrugs she decides to let it slide; he's here now and she's very much in need of help.

"so lets see"

She nods and motions at her lifeless bike. She'd heard something snap as she was on the road, and instant swaying followed. Aradia managed to pull up to the side before harming herself or others, and after an intense bout of spluttering, the bike had given in completely.
She tried looking at it herself (she likes to consider herself decently capable when it comes to mechanics), but she couldn't seem to find the problem. Being stranded and her frustration with the situation running higher, she decided to text Dave. Only minutes later, the familiar rumbling of his own bike became audible.

You could say many things about Dave Strider, but when you really needed him, he was there.

She stared blankly at him and her bike as he crouched down near it, studying and touching the metal in several places. Briefly, she wondered how he could even see clearly while wearing sunglasses at night.

"has it been backfiring on you"
"yes.."

He nods and hums knowingly, then gets up and wipes his oily hands on his -already roughed up- jeans.

"fuel supply slash combustion issue" He says as if its the simplest thing in the world. "could be fuel going where its not supposed to" He trails off for a moment and gives her a questioning look. "or timing"

"my timing is fine!"
"yeah i thought youd say that"
"so what do i do?"

She was starting to feel a bit desperate; he noticed and smiled calmly.

"chill megido itll be fine"

He walked up to his own bike and opened the box compartment attached to the back.

"take mine for now and once yours is cool ill take it down to the shop ok"

Aradia was about to protest when she saw Dave walking back up to her, holding a large pizza box.

"..did you seriously bring pizza?"
"thought you might be hungry"

Her stomach growled in response and she gave him a grateful nod.

As they sat down by the side of the road to eat, Aradia relaxed. A messed up bike wasn't too hard to deal with in the right company.

Oh~ This is so awesome. Ah, thankoos~
