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.

PROMPT: TEAM DAVE<3ROSE
alcohol + fluff!
FILL: TEAM DIRK<3ROXY
******
"What's with the plush shreds?" You ask upon finding Rose lounging on a massive pile of ripped apart scalemates. You sort of feel stupid, because this is the first time you've really spoken to her in three years and you ask her about plushie carnage.
"It's become something of a habit. The trolls find themselves calmed by the presence of large piles of various objects. They hold 'feeling jams' in these piles, in order to unladen emotional baggage. Care to join me?"
You watch her for a moment. You can still read the things she's not saying, even though she's not your Rose and you're not her Dave. You can hear what she's really saying behind the nonchalant inquiry: "Please talk to me."
So you float over and plop down on the pile next to her. You fall into old habits and withdraw a bottle of alcohol from your sylladex, "Drink?"
It hits you instantly that it might've been a mistake. It took Rose weeks to cave in and drink anything from her mom's house before.
To your surprise, though, she nods. You pour her a drink and hand it to her, watching her more closely.
"I believe this is the first time we've spoken," she comments casually, but you can see... hurt? "You never came to see me that day. You didn't pester me either."
You don't know what to say, but it's Rose and you know she'll pry it from you somehow, so you just speak the truth. "I felt guilty."
"For leaving me behind?"
"Yeah..."
"I... she... understood that it had to be done," she says after a moment.
You're silent, unsure, but she continues before you can wonder too much and get lost in your thoughts.
"Your advice worked. I remember bits and pieces," she takes a sip of the alcohol. She grimaces almost unnoticably before taking another.
You're relieved. And you're furious that you're relieved. Because on the one hand she shouldn't have to remember those hellish four months, but you're glad that the Rose you left behind isn't really dead. You're glad she remembers the times you spent in her house, drinking and talking.
You down your glass.
"I forgive you, you know." Rose says quietly.
Your eyes sting. You pretend it's from the strong alcohol you just gulped down. But she knows better, and she takes your hand and squeezes it gently.
You unceremoniously lose your cool, and everything comes spilling out. And soon she is talking too, and when it's over you just hug your sister, feeling lighter than you have in forever. Because everything's going to be okay now, and you've both alive somehow, and you can win. You can fix this.
And you're together.
