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.


4. Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

((I couldn't resist. I'm monopolising the mirrors for princes genre I think...))


She’s only a tailor, but she’s also the only one he can actually talk to. Maybe it helps that he knows she won’t judge him, can’t judge him really. He spends quite a bit of his time in her little room, just talking and talking and letting her try clothes on him, because it’s their shared interest in fashion that drew them together in the first place. She designed all of his most official outfits, the ones that always get compliments from the rest of the court and draw him the attention he so desperately wants, and in return he lets her vent all the problems a fashion designer and tailor shouldn’t have but for some reason she does.

She’s possibly the person who knows him best at court, even when he’s crowned king at far too early of an age and turns to the book for advice instead of her. Into the Looking-Glass, she thinks it’s called, and he treats it like a god.

Only it doesn’t tell him what to do with his wife, the feisty redhead he loves so much, and that’s an area that she’s good at… only, he never asks her, and that girl dies. She knows how, and why, but he’s her best friend even if he never talks to her, so she doesn’t tell. Perhaps she can’t tell, for she watches him struggle with voices that no one else can hear (except her, sometimes, a faint little whisper in the air asking why did you let him do it why did you let him KRILL me), and she pities him more than ever.

He doesn’t ask her when it comes to his second wife either, that spidery girl who trashes her shop and kisses her in the back room and admits that she thinks she can hear ghosts sometimes. He doesn’t talk to her at all, too proud and too mad, now, to go seeking refuge with the tailor he abandoned long ago when he fell in obsessive love and hatred. A second whisper joins the first, he said it was my eyes, why didn’t you ever teeeeeeeell me, Fussyface, I never meant to leave you.

And she doesn’t ask him when she slips into his room in the middle of the night, knife glinting silver treason in her hand.

A third voice adds to the chaos around her, eventually. Kan, it whispers, wuh-why?

She does her best to ignore them all and scribbles in the book instead, adding her neat writing to his madly jagged scrawls. A Word To The Wise: Books Are Not Gods. Don’t Treat Them As Such.
