Status: Closed
This round has closed. It remains open for fills, comments and remixes, but prompts are no longer accepted.
About
For this round, there is no theme for the prompt and you can suggest whatever you want. However! You can only prompt a single sentence and the fill must end on that sentence. Be controversial, be vague. Fillers, add to the atmosphere or subvert expectations, the choice is yours.
(Note: art fills just have to include the phrase and remixes don't have to follow the rule.)
Examples
Joshua
"Did you think America would change things?"
Soonyoung/Seokmin
Seokmin looks at Soonyoung one more time, "I may not trust you with my wallet, but I do trust you with my life."
97 line
In the dark they grasped each other, fingers intertwined, and stepped forwards.

- NSFW art should not be visible, please provide a link and a warning. You may crop the artwork and embed a SFW preview.
How it works
Prompting
- Click on [Post a New Comment] at the bottom of this post;
- Change the subject to something interesting;
- Copy+Paste the following HTML into your comment and edit the sections. Feel free to add as much detail as you want!
Filling

- Change the subject to [FILL], you may add a title or stay chaotic;
- Copy+Paste the following HTML into your comment, edit the sections, and add your text.
You may also upload your fill to the AO3 Collection.
Remixing
- Post as a reply to the fill you are remixing, using the same HTML as above;
- Change the subject to [REMIX].
Art/media
- Upload your work to any platform (twitter, imgur, youtube, soundcloud, google maps, etc.)
- Using the same HTML code as above, copy the link into your fill or remix. That's it!
- Optionally, you can embed a picture into your comment. Please use the following code instead.
(To explain, the HTML resizes your picture to 400x400px so that it fits on most screens. Users can view the full size if they click on it. You can also add a link to your work on twitter so that others can share it, or to any other website you want)

It’s been five weeks since Seokmin died. No cards anymore, no flowers. Minghao’s colleagues used to tread on eggshells around him, but only so he would notice how they took their shoes off first. Now they don’t even bother doing that. It’s been long enough that Minghao’s mother has stopped texting him every day – clearly she thinks she doesn’t need to worry anymore. The world has decided it’s time for Minghao to move on.
But Minghao sees Seokmin everywhere. His therapist tells him it’s a grief response. His mother tells him it’s Seokmin’s spirit. But whatever it is, Seokmin is still there. When Minghao walks into his apartment, Seokmin is on the sofa, face contorting into a grin when he looks up to see Minghao there. When Minghao wakes up, Seokmin is beside him, the weight of his cold touch floating over his chest. When Minghao tries to cook, Seokmin comes up behind him, wrapping his leaden arms around Minghao’s middle, digging his bony chin into his shoulder.
It’s not really Seokmin, Minghao knows that. The real Seokmin would be warm and light, his fingers gentle, his frame broad and strong. That isn’t the Seokmin that permeates every corner of Minghao’s home. The new Seokmin is heavy against him, yet weak, like he’ll snap in two if Minghao tries to keep him here. His voice isn’t dulcet and gentle but somehow hoarse. When he laughs, his laughter is slow and joyless, like he’s just pretending for Minghao’s sake. It sends a chill down Minghao’s spine, weakens him like a poisoned candy. The Seokmin that beams at him from the photo on the wall is not the Seokmin that whispers, Remember when you took that? Five years ago, wasn’t it? We were so happy back then, Myungho-yah.
This Seokmin doesn’t make Minghao happy, but he’s everywhere. He’s on the bedside table, where he used to leave his books, looking at Minghao with cold eyes as he grabs his watch. He’s in the bathroom, hovering near the half-full bottle of his shampoo, smiling with a menacing wryness when Minghao uses that shampoo rather than his own. He’s on the other end of the couch, staring at Minghao like he’s going to pounce, laughing that mirthless laugh when Minghao catches sight of him.
After another month, Minghao moves out of the apartment. He can’t bear it anymore. There’s laughter in every room.
