BONUS ROUND 1
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)

FILL: TEAM DAVE<3<KARKAT
It had grown dark, the light from the television flickering over their faces as they stared blankly at the set, John on the floor, Dirk and Jake on the edges of their beds. There was so much that needed to be said that none of them could breathe a word.
It was Jake that finally switched off the TV, and clicked on the lamp on his dorm desk. John was staring at nothing. Dirk was staring at Jake.
"I have to get to Dad," John said finally, voice high and strange.
"There won't be time." There was a quaver in Dirk's voice that made Jake's heart give an awful twist. "There aren't enough jets for everyone who wants to go west and the roads will be nearly impassable."
"I have to call him." John scrambled to his feet, eyes frantic. He made it to the door in two steps, and they heard his running footsteps echo off down the hall before the door slammed.
Jake buried his head in his hands. There was nothing any of them could do. That's what they'd said. The scientists. Nothing anyone could do.
"Jake..." He felt the bed dip under his roommate's weight, and a cool hand on his arm. "I need to say something."
Dirk sounded nervous and sad. Jake wondered if he'd ever hear any of his friends sound happy again. "Go on, then."
"I know you and John are...but I can't..." He let out a shaky breath, hugging himself, his eyes downcast. "I'm in love with you."
Jake could barely stop his hands as they reached for Dirk's shoulders, pulling him around. He only caught a glimpse of those startled orange eyes for a split second before he was crushing their lips together, hands sliding up Dirk's shoulders to tighten in his hair.
Dirk made an anguished sound, hands fisting in the front of Jake's shirt, kissing back in desperation. Soon they slowed and stopped, panting for air, foreheads still touching. They sat that way for a long time, in silence, their hands intertwined.
When John returned, face pale and eyes rimmed red, they pulled him between them, holding him tightly in a many-armed hug. John kissed Jake first, desperate for affection, for consolation, and didn't release his hold on Dirk even when Dirk leaned in and pressed a slow, nervous kiss to his throat.
Jake pushed John back onto the bed, and Dirk hovered for a moment, unsure of his place, until John curled one shaking hand around his wrist. "Please stay."
