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.

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.

FILL: TEAM DAVE<3JADE
"Nah. You probably won't even feel a thing, it'll be over so fast."
They won't let him accompany her inside the hospital farther than the waiting room -- not a family member, terribly sorry sir -- so he floated there, awkwardly reading old magazines, wishing for once in his short life that sprites could smoke cigarettes without doing damage to their internal game mechanics. He waited for hours - twelve hours, five minutes, thirty-two seconds - before they finally came out for him, smiles on all the nurses' faces.
"She made it. The operation was a success!"
When she came home a week later he helped her make lists - things she couldn't do as a sprite that she could try again as a human. Jade didn't remember how to walk, so he helped her, holding her hand at the physical therapy sessions and leaving her notes of encouragement spelled out in cheerios on the kitchen table. Speaking was different, too -- and so there was more of it, more physical therapy, more appointments that she needed a friend for. Davesprite didn't mind - the girl deserved it, she was his best friend and had just gone through a crazy buttfucked surgery - and perhaps as a result of his dedication, the first word she relearned was Dave.
He would take her places, things she had never dreamed of. Eating hamburgers for the first time caused her to get indigestion; going to the movies and eating popcorn - what was left, they threw at the backs of other people's heads; even running, watching her run through the park, green hair flowing behind her was an accomplishment, after something like that.
"So, did it hurt?" They would lay side by side in Jade's backyard, staring at the sunset. Feeling the grass was another thing she hadn't done, and Dave was happy to oblige her, even if he couldn't feel it himself.
"Oh....no. Someone told me it wouldn't, so it didn't." She sniffles, and he's almost happy that her tears are accompanied by a smile. She almost never cries these days. Being human has almost made the bad things go away, it's taken so much work and effort.
"Who?"
"You."
"Well, this you person sounds like a pretty swell guy." Davesprite looked up at the sky again, pastel pinks streaking the atmosphere. "Whoever he is."
