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

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.

Dave<>Terezi, Stand-up comedy + the mafia

friends with benefits

so raise your hand if youve ever fallen down some stairs

Terezi chuckled as Dave strung along the entire crowd with ease. He’d only been doing standup for a month now, but he had the lines of a pro and the appeal of a master.

It was to be expected, really. It was his charisma that had gotten him involved in shady business to begin with.

When she first met Dave he was waiting for a money transfer she was supposed to intercept. Miraculously, he’d spotted her before the deal was done, and she was forced to pull her gun and make him an offer.

She’d never seen anyone sell out that easily.

Well, he didn’t just sell out. He struck a bargain. A good one.

While enjoying privileges and safety similar to those of the president, Dave provided Terezi with valuable information and insights regarding the biggest mafia family around.
Speaking of which..

during all of those meteor threats did anyone ever bother to ask how big the meteor would be
it seems like an important detail to me I dont know about you guys

A meeting was about to take place in one of the backrooms behind the stage. An important meeting. Dave was set as crowd control, while several higher-ups took care of some debts being repaid. Normally Dave would keep his friends as far away from this kind of life as possible.

But Terezi wasn’t your average friend.

And his friend, she became with ease. There was so much to like in her smart, righteous yet bat-shit-crazy attitude that Dave didn’t bother to dislike her. Sure, he’d gotten involved with the mafia, but he wasn’t anyone’s lapdog. His talent for laying low kept him safe from suspicion, and if the day should come where he’d be confronted, he had backup akin to a small army.

on a scale of one to jupiter

Jupiter. That was the signal word. Terezi straightened on her bar stool and discreetly pressed a button on her cellphone. Moments later, she got up and tossed some money on the bar. She felt Dave's eyes on her and turned to face him; he nodded with a smirk as she grinned, pushing her glasses further up her nose. Dave did the same to his shades.

Then she was gone, and Dave announced a short break to his audience. He pretended to get some more water, but slipped out of the side door instead. Waiting around the corner was Terezi's car, and she honked as she smelled him closeby. He jumped in, and they took off.

"im still not comfortable with a blind chick driving me around"
"1TS 4 LOT MOR3 COMFORT4BL3 TH4N PR1SON"
"yeah ill let you be the expert on that one"
"H3H3H3"
"so whats going down at the teather"
"HOW LONG S1NC3 1 L3FT?" She asked, and Dave answered without a second's delay:
"nine minutes"
"TH3N YOUR FR13NDS SHOULD B3 CUFF3D 4ND R34DY TO F4C3 JUST1C3 BY NOW"
"dont flatter these people woman they are not my friends"
"OF COURS3 NOT" She chuckled as she made a turn so sharp Dave's stomach turned along with. "TH3 1NF4MOUS D4V3 STR1D3R DO3SNT H4V3 FR13NDS"
"nah"

He shrugged.

"who needs friends if youve got terezi pyrope on your team"

-fin

Ahhh this is great! Really love how you combined the two prompts.
