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.

Scoring
For prompt posts: 5 points each (maximum of 100 per team)

For fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15 in each post: 10 (per entry)

I'm channeling Roxy, it seems

Is that supposed to be Roxy hearts Sollux or Roxy spades Sollux?

I really want to do this fill, and there's a slowly forming idea in my head, and I don't particularly care about the quadrant, but I'd imagine you do.

Spades, but either way would be wonderful- I just really love to imagine a strong mutual respect/rivalry between them :D

((So, this is kinda weird, and I know you asked for spades, but while I was waiting a response I sorta formulated this as flip-flopping back and forth and I love it that way and that's how it's staying. Not as prose-poetic as it is dictionaric, but still.

LOVED the prompt, by the way.))

Meeting (n)
1. A smile of teeth like broken glass, esp. when beside her broken veneer.
2. A drunken giggle, growing grotesque in the air and echoing in his head until it becomes imagined offense.
3. It's supposed to be a professional interaction for a professional conference. In modern usage, it's not.

First (adj)
1. A correct-but-wrong impression.
(Noun phrases)
1. First words
a) "Why the fuck are you laughing?"
b) "Because I'm having fun. You should try it some time."
2. First date
a) An impossibly unlikely occurrence, like that of a cherub falling in love or any one instance of a universe winning the game.
b) Where her dress is made of dainty flower petals, her words are made of ice, and her mind is made of booze.
c) An even rarer occurrence in light of the fun he has.
3. First kiss
a) Starting messily and angrily, passion and unrestrained beasts and lips and teeth colliding.
b) Softening slowly as they grow together, as the flashing, explosive need for contact subsides and the slower, lazier creek-desire to explore takes over.
c) A good hour spent with hardly a break for air.
4. First time
a) Where she--alternatively a burning, scarring, blazing fire and a slow, loving, healing caress of water--and he--very much the same--meet in full.
b) A long-awaited event.
c) Fantastic. Awkward, but fantastic.

Love (n)
1a. The long quiet while she sits and codes and he sits and codes and they're in the same room doing the same thing but might as well be universes apart.
1b. The harmony in said silence.
2a. His insistences that she not drink herself away and understanding patience while she does so anyway.
2b. The way he carries her back to bed, expecting and taking nothing from her in her weakness, and then grumpily nurses the hangover in the morning.
3. Her genuinely enraged, tearing-down shouts as she stands up for him, no matter how many times she had said the insult herself.
(v)
1. A feeling or action found between sheets, as in "I love you."
2. A feeling or action expressed in private moments of excitement or strong impression, as in "I love you!"

Hate (n)
1a. Fights and screaming matches and two infinitely stubborn souls meeting, never giving in so long as all the other does is charge in guns blazing.
1b. The inevitability that that is all the other will do.
2a. Her continual insults to everything about him, ostentatiously playful but meant to tear him down.
2b. The simmering inside of him as he can't strangle out a response.
3a. His occasional-often-rare sabotage.
3b. Her unbridled rage in response.
(v)
1. A feeling or action expressed in public, as in "I hate you."
2. A feeling or action found suddenly, sporadically, and passionately in barely-private places and vigorous, violent contact, as in "I hate you!"

Trust (n)
1a. Roxy Lalonde and Sollux Captor.
1b. Something they will have between them no matter what else changes.
