Rules

• Submit prompts by commenting any AU or UA idea of your choice.
  AU stands for Alternate Universe. This is a broad trope that involves everything from placing the characters in wildly different settings to slightly adjusting key points.
  UA stands for Universe Alteration, a subtype of AU. Its meaning is similar to canon divergence i.e settings that are mostly like canon expect a few points are changed.
  You may suggest what role the characters have in said universe or let it to the filler's imagination.
  
  Example:
  • Harry Potter AU
    
  • Royalty AU where they're part of ennemy kingdoms
    
  • AU where Karasuno lost against Shiratorizawa
• Prompts can be in any language as long as you provide an English translation!
  
• Fill prompts by creating fanworks inspired by the setting.
  
• You cannot fill your teammate's prompts or your own!
  
• You must use the prompt/fill headers below, and you cannot leave any line blank nor delete lines!

***

As any good middle infielder knows, there should be a certain ease to fielding grounders. To a middle infielder who’s worth their team’s time and energy, catching tricky hops should be second nature, even if they’re defending behind a pitcher with a wide array of tricks up their arsenal, or even if they’re not technically a pitch-to-contact type of player. Fielding, like most things in baseball, should seem effortless. Graceful. Almost dignified. And Akaashi would like to say that, for these reasons, he should be considered somewhat of a valuable asset to Fukurodani’s Baseball Club.

Emphasis on should.

Because, really, when he has to share the infield with someone like Bokuto Koutarou, how can Akaashi be expected to be a valuable asset to anything? Bokuto is enough of a distraction with his completely insane gray and black hair spiked up every day with copious amounts of hair gel and voice loud and abrasive enough to wake small woodland creatures in the neighboring nature reserves.

(Akaashi watches him style his hair from time to time, in the locker room. He’s still not sure why someone like Bokuto would put so much effort into a completely subjective aspect of appearance yet. But, oh well. It’s not like he’s here to make friends with the guy, anyway.)

But as critical as Akaashi is of Bokuto in his current hyper-fixated monologue, there’s a bit of another problem as well. A problem that, apparently all of the rest of the team aside from Akaashi was already in on: whenever he’s on the field alongside Bokuto, Akaashi messes up on simple fielding plays he thought he’d mastered in late primary school.

Akaashi trips over his feet, he slips on a wet piece of dirt between first and second base. Akaashi’s glove isn’t quite up to speed on pop ups either, evidenced by the third failed attempt in this twenty minute stretch beside Bokuto. It’s unfair, Akaashi thinks, because they have so much chemistry together off the field. (No, literally-- they’re both in the same chemistry class.)

After what must have been his tenth mistake of the practice session, the coach’s whistle blows.

“Number four! Switch out with Konoha! Go cool your head!”

Akaashi bites his lip to keep from crying out. It’s uncharacteristic of him, yes, but after a week of playing like this there’s sure to be some unresolved tension. He sighs to himself softly before heading toward the dugout and away from this mess.
