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.

The book is the first thing she sees when she's finally allowed into her new husband and king's room. Into the Looking-Glass, presumably the title, chipped and worn away after all these years guiding a young king. And she wouldn't have paid it any more attention than that one casual glance if a voice from nearby hadn't whispered, "That's where he keeps all his secrets, you know."

She startles, looks around. There's no one there. Rose shakes her head-- only a few hours spent in the company of the boy-king with the hot dead-eyed violet stare and unpredictable mannerisms, and already she feels like she's going insane. "Please show yourself."

"You can hear me?" the voice sounds surprised-- oh, yes, this is perfect. Her people can have a matching pair of insane rulers, it shall be beautiful. "I can't show myself, though."

"Yes," she replies, rolling her eyes in an extremely unladylike manner that would almost certainly get her reprimanded if there were any maids around to see. "Of course I can hear you." She doesn't believe for one second that the voice, that high sweet young voice, can't show itself. Any person can. "Who are you again?" Turning away from the book, not about to believe her own delusions, Rose-

- stops dead in her tracks. For "I'm Feferi Peixes," the voice says, "and I'm dead."

Brilliant. She hears dead people now, just what she's always wanted. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Rose Lalonde, and I'm going to bed."

In the morning, the voice isn't there and the king never arrives, but the book still is. It's almost like it's taunting her to open it. Well, ne'er let it be said she backed down from a challenge...

As soon as she opens it, she wishes she hadn't. Spiky, jagged writing fills the margins, makes corrections on the page, and is that a doodle of someone being vivisected she sees? Dear Lord. It is. She keeps reading with fascinated horror, unable to turn away as incoherent thoughts pour themselves out onto the pages of a book once revered as a god by this madman who calls himself king.

"Don't look behind you," Feferi whispers; it's three months later, and the two queens (one alive, one dead, both hating the boy-king and bonding over it) have become unlikely friends. Rose being Rose, she turns, and-

Well, she already knew he was going mad, with that scrawled diary of advice and crimes each more sickening than the last. The knife's in her back before she even notices he's there, whispering, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, swuh-weet Rosey darlin', but it's the eyes, they remind me so much of her!"

She smiles as she dies, because finally she's free.

(unhelpful as the book was when it came to dealing with one angry, vengeful spirit, it's even less so when it comes to dealing with two…)
