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.

((this is so far off from the prompt i'm so SORRY))

It’s hard at times, being the only friend of a serial killer.

She stands between him and the world, her hands curled into fists at her sides and his arms cold around her, and doesn’t let him break. He comes up to her from behind and wraps an arm possessively around her waist, pulls her to him; if it was anyone else, she’d smack him, but he needs her. If she lets him hold her, she knows where he is. She knows what he’s doing, practically knows what he’s thinking, and this way when he gets that certain glint to his eye and that Cheshire-crazed smile, she can simply turn around and pin him down and make sure he doesn’t paint the world with blood and send rainbows trickling down the streets.

No one’s been able to pin down just what they are to each other, and she’s fine with that. She hasn’t been able to figure it out herself, even after he patiently explained the quadrant system to her, thinking she didn’t know it already. Of course, she let him. It calms him down, sometimes, to hear his own voice and know he’s still alive, though when it gets too bad she finds it’s better to simply talk and let him know she’s still there.

She thinks maybe she’s his auspitice, keeping the peace between him and the world. It’s a hard, thankless job, but someone has to do it. And he, at least, recognises her and respects her for what she does and who she is-- to him, she’s not the drunken little sidekick, or the roguish waif who’s a pretty face and nothing else. They play at that, from time to time, taking on roles one after another of drunken sidekick rogues and broken princes, but they always go back to who they really are. He values her. Besides, even if it is a thankless job, someone’s got to do it. Someone who’s got nothing to lose.

She thinks that’ll be the title of the book she writes, when she finishes it. Nothing to Lose. It’s almost fitting.

She is his gift and he is her curse. They need each other, and for all her complaints, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
