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.

FILL: TEAM [Bro<3Dave]
“Kitty!” A shrill voice alerted him. With a weak groan of protest, he stomped out of his room.
“WHAT IS IT AUNT LE SUZ?”
“Kitty come on down now, our favorite customer is here.”
Karkat paused; there were about three ‘favorite’ customers, two of which he didn’t really like himself, but the third.. He walked down the stairs and quickly hoisted up his stockings before entering the lobby.
“you look lovvely”
Karkat scowled at Eridan, but a stern look from aunt Le Suz had him awkwardly smiling shortly after. It wasn’t the cross-dressing he minded -he was used to that by now, even the heels no longer managed to intimidate him-, but the scratchy fabrics of his ruffled corset-dress were driving him mad.
“Well then I suppose I should leave you boys to your business.” The older lady mused, pinching Karkat’s cheek before returning to the other boys and girls in the lobby. “Play nice now Kitty!” She then turned to Eridan. “Remember dear, we charge extra for scratches.”
“yes it wwont happen again madame”
With a final approving smile, they were finally left to themselves. Karkat quickly grabbed Eridan’s hand and dragged him back upstairs and into his room. The door slammed shut, and the two trolls took a moment to just look at each other.
“you really do look nice” Eridan said with a smile.
“SHUT UP.” A slight flush betrayed him.
What followed next was their usual routine; Karkat would hug Eridan for a while, and then they would lay down on the sofa together. The Prince would tell Karkat how his days had been, and Karkat would listen as patiently as he could, interjecting every now and then with a good slice of his own opinion.
Eridan Ampora, Prince of this little country they lived in, had been visiting Karkat Vantas aka “Kitty” for about two years now. He was the first customer Karkat ever had to tend to when he started working for aunt Le Suz. When Eridan returned fully clothed, yet covered in scrapes and bruises, it was clear to both of them that Kitty wasn’t your average escort. Something about him sparked Eridan’s interest though, and as time passed the two got along more and more.
Karkat found himself looking forward to the peaceful moments when he’d have to entertain him; he could be himself and keep his dress on. Aunt Le Suz didn’t mind as long as Eridan paid, and pay he did. Royally, one might even say. If it wasn’t for his regular patronage, things would have been a lot less comfortable for Karkat in his current occupation.
Eridan was being awfully quiet.
“OK SPILL IT.”
“wwhat”
“YOU HAVEN’T SAID A WORD IN FIVE MINUTES; CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG.”
Eridan simply chuckled at that and hugged Karkat -who huffed at being ignored- a little bit closer.
“you dont have to livve like this you knoww”
Karkat rolled his eyes and sighed.
“WE’VE BEEN THROUGH THIS AMPORA. I NEED A ROOF ABOVE MY HEAD AND YOU CANT TAKE A WHORE INTO YOUR CASTLE. LET IT GO.”
Eridan let out a sigh of his own.
“i wwish i could” His fingers were lazily toying with Karkat’s hair. He heard the sad tone in his voice and shifted a bit in his embrace.
“IT’S NOT THAT BAD.”
It really wasn’t. Aunt Le Suz had her mind on her money but she was a good person at heart. The other trolls and humans were too busy dealing with their own customers to pay Karkat any attention, and he preferred it that way. Sure there were quite a few things he could go without –mostly the scratchy dresses and ‘entertaining’ random strangers for a living- but within the circumstances, it wasn’t bad at all.
“i just wwant to make fins better”
“IF I DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER I’D SAY YOU’RE WAXING RED FOR ME.” Karkat commented with a mean edge in his voice. He’d been red for Ampora for quite some time now, but the impossible reality of the situation had forced him to shove his feelings aside and keep his quadrants clear of the prince.
“wwhat if i am”
“WHAT.”
Eridan leaned forward and rested his chin on Karkat’s shoulder. His hands sneaked down to hold his, and his voice turned to a whisper.
“red for you” He squeezed his hands gently. “wwhat if i am”
“T-THEN..” Karkat squeezed back. “WE’RE ROYALLY SCREWED.”
“i could take you awway from here”
“BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CASTLE. YOU CAN’T JUST MARCH IN WITH SOMEONE LIKE..” He paused for a moment. “LIKE ME.”
“i think youre wwonderful”
“YEAH AND THAT’S GREAT AND ALL, REALLY, BUT THERE’S JUST NO WAY, AND AUNT SUZ WOULD NEVER LET ME GO TO BEGIN WITH, AND WHY ARE WE EVEN DISCUSSING THIS?”
Eridan shrugged.
“madame le suz has a price” He said casually. “evveryone does”
Karkat took a moment to take everything in.
“SO YOU’RE REALLY JUST GOING TO BAIL ME OUT OF HERE AND BRING ME TO YOUR CASTLE TO PLAY MATESPRIT OR SOMETHING?”
“id prefer those feelins to be mutual”
“NO- I MEAN YES- I MEAN THAT’S SERIOUSLY YOUR PLAN?”
“yes”
Another silence slipped in between them, and as Eridan held Karkat close to his chest, countless of thoughts raced through both of their minds.
“YOU’D BETTER HELP ME PACK”
“it wwould be my pleasure”
