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.

For fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)

“Got anything?”

Jade bit her lip, listening intently. But the radar continued to beep and after a few moments she sighed, closing it up and dropping the machine back into her bag at her feet. “Nothing.”

The troll girl sat down with a loud thump, digging her hands into the sand. Jade jumped, eyes wide. Her heart was still pounding, adrenaline from earlier not even beginning to wear off.

Awkwardly, she looked around – nothing but sand and jungle, the plane sitting awkwardly on the beach next to them. Instinctively she tried to think about what they should do now (food? Shelter? No, water, probably...) and wrack her mind remembering what gadgets she'd managed to bring, but exhaustion overtook her and she sat down in the sand next to her companion.

For several minutes, they remained quiet.

Finally, the other girl spoke. “Thanks. Thanks for- everything back there.”

Jade shook her head. “You were in trouble. I did what I could.”

“No.” Jade turned; the girl was looking at her intently, her eyes a vivid yellow even behind her ragged hair. “You didn't need to do any of that. I don't even know you, I-”

“Maybe. But I get the feeling we have the same enemy.” Jade sighed, looking up at the sky. “I've been working against CrockerCorp for years now, from the inside. I couldn't do much – if I deliberately messed the drones up, I'd just get fired at best, but I was able to at least do something. Intelligence. And spare parts here or there – that's how I was able to get all of these.” She gestured to the bag.

“But now you can't anymore. And I'm just a redblood, I'd probably have died anyway-”

“No-one's going to die if I can stop it,” Jade said harshly, staring back at her. “I won't regret saving someone's life. Not anyone's.”

The girl stared back. Slowly, she nodded.

She held out her hand. “Aradia Megido.”

Jade shook it, grinning. “Jade Harley.”

With that, Jade stood up, brushing the sand from her coat. “Well, it looks like we're in for a stay. I don't think they'll be able to find us on this island here – not for a while, anyway, especially if we keep communication very limited.”

Aradia watched her, then smiled, retrieving her whip and standing up. “I'm sure I could be stranded with worse people...Jade.”

Jade giggled. “Same here!”

ahhhhh this is entirely too cute! Thank you, thank you! ♥
