2017 Prompt List
And now for the fun part!
Claims will stay open from March 6th to March 13th, 11:59pm PST (what time is that for me?). The minimum number of claims is 5 and the maximum number is 15.
As a reminder, you are claiming prompts you want to read, not prompts you want to write and not your own prompts. Once matching is complete, you will be assigned one of your own prompts you signed up with to write for someone who claimed it. In turn, you'll receive one of the prompts you claimed.
Remember, claims are not first come/first serve! So no need to worry if you can't submit your prompt claims right away. Once everyone has submitted their claims request, and everyone has a possible match, we'll begin hand-matching assignments. Each participant will fill one of their own prompts for their assigned recipient, as well as receive one of the prompts that they claimed as a gift. If no one requested one of your prompts, we'll ask you to submit a new set of prompts, and an additional claims period will open. But the prompt list is fantastic, fingers crossed that won't happen!
Like your sign-up, you will be able to edit your claims after you submit the. Google will automatically email you a link to edit along with a summary of your claims.
And if you notice anything missing or wrong with your prompts, e.g. broken links, says you're offering art when you definitely offered a mix, missing players, etc. please let us know!
Prompt Claiming form is available here.

Prompt #93
Focus: Cristiano Ronaldo/Gareth Bale
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Gareth’s sitting in the dressing room, still brooding over the red card. He’s angry for so many reasons: at himself for lashing out, at his body for failing him consistently, and at his inability to summon the right words whenever Cristiano is near.
The last person he expects to find staring down at him is Cristiano, but there’s something he needs to say – something urgent. Gareth can’t hear him over the voices of their teammates.
Suddenly they’re holding hands, Cristiano’s long, tanned fingers leading him away. It’s exactly like one of Gareth’s dreams; the same lingering intensity in Cristiano’s gaze, the familiar rush of anticipation as a door clicks shut behind them.
Optional details: This fic will be inspired by Real Madrid's clash against Las Palmas on 1 March 2017. Real Madrid drew 3 – 3 after a dramatic game at the Bernabéu. Following an uncharacteristic display of temper, Gareth was sent off for only the second time in his professional career. I thought it would be interesting to explore what might have caused him to react this way.

"of what?" isco wonders, tongue between his teeth as he decides his move.
alvaro's eyebrows climb even higher on his furrowed forehead, nearly caressing his hairline.
"of james!"
isco glances up at him. between the shaggy hair and the head tilting slightly, he looks like a very perplexed pup.
"why should i be?"
alvaro's mouth opens and closes, trying to figure out the words. he groans, glances around for support. finds instead marcelo tugging james' arm up over his head and around his shoulder. james beams, drags him closer before kissing at his temple. marcelo goes back to whatever he's griping to cristiano and pepe about.

-dolce & gabbana is going to outfit the groom's party ("an italian?" sergio balks, hands on his hips like a disapproving mom. "what a disgrace.")
-alice is the bride (although not if isco has anything to say about it)
boyish hi-jinks, chaotic wedding planning, bachelor party mischief, SHENANIGANS GALORE! in the midst of the usual wedding madness, there is the question of what the months apart meant for him and isco, if there even is anything there after all the time they spent not speaking about it. on top of all this, alvaro questions whether his future is here at madrid, the place he's dreamt of belonging to his whole life, or if some things are not meant to last forever. through it all, the ties of canterano love and T E A M keep his head attached to his body, his body tethered to the ground.
Optional details: i daydream about this fic in snippets every day. please let me write it because otherwise, i never might.
also, one time, isco wore morata's jersey just to hang out with the group. in return, alvaro wore isco's jersey during celebrations for la decima. it's been almost three years and i have never recovered from this, so neither should they be allowed to.

nacho stands beside him, takes in the sweats, which are loose but clean. his hair's ungelled, but it doesn't look greasy. makes him sigh in relief as he carefully reaches out, a hand on the back of his neck.
"how are you?" he asks, thumb barely brushing over him. his skin's soft, warmed by daylight and summer. dani grunts, tilts his neck to expose more of it to him.
"what do you need?" nacho asks, voice pitched now but firm, demanding.
dani closes his eyes, bows his head forward slightly. the wings of his shoulderblade bunch tight underneath his thin tee, body tensed in expectation.
nacho squeezes, the grip on his neck tightening slightly.
there's no mistaking the low, needy moan that returns to him.
Optional details: listen. canterano buddies becoming best bros becoming starting xi backline besties together is the most excruciatingly beautiful narrative. add on the fact that dani is a delicate violet and nacho's willing to do anything for the team and you've got yourself a story. the future captain and vice-captain of real madrid are prime examples of still waters run deep.
Prompt #109
Focus: Raúl/Guti, Iker Casillas/Cesc Fàbregas (Sergio Ramos/Fernando Torres, and Cristiano Ronaldo/Kaká as sort of background things)
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: AU - José María Gutiérrez Hernández is easily the most competent witch this side of the Williamsburg bridge. That doesn't stop his human lover's apprentice from getting sucked into an alternate dimension, mind. But it should be noted, okay. None of this is Guti's fault.
Optional details: I was reading too many Marvel and DC magic comics one night and decided to brainstorm an AU. This would probably be a three act (chapter) thing in the style of a classic comic (but like, fic, cause I can't draw). There are other characters involved in the universe, but the main story centers around Guti, Raúl, and Iker, and them getting through this transdimensional caper.
Prompt #110
Focus: Raúl/Guti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: There’s either a real scientific reason to explain why he’s got Raúl's voice stuck in his head so often these days, or something so batshit that he shouldn’t even try to process it. Guti puts his money on the latter. Telepathic bond AU.

Focus: Raúl González/Xavi Hernández
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Pep told him not to, but it's not like he could help it. It's not like Raúl wanted to fall for Pep's protégé, not to mention the fact that Iker would probably kill him if he ever found out. Pep would most likely kill him, too. And Guti? Definitely.
Optional details: A fic dealing with Raúl's feelings/interactions with Xavi during international break.
Yes, the pairing is a little odd, but who doesn't like a good clásico, or Real Madrid-FC Barcelona romance? You always hear about Raúl's good relationships with other players like Pep Guardiola and Carles Puyol, but there's no doubt he and Xavi got along, too.

Optional details: Secret relationship fic. I really want to write something that goes back and looks at the relationship between Geri and Sergio over the years. This will probably take the form of a ‘five times they thought they’d fooled Iker, one time they definitely didn’t’ kind of thing.

Optional details: Iker & Xavi run a porn studio which produces high quality adult films. They are in constant battle with a rival porn studio run by Gigi Buffon. When Gigi's company announces their next big budget feature will be an adaptation of a classic piece of literature, Iker & Xavi decide they've got to get their own high brow porn offering released first.

Optional details: It's strange to feel so connected to someone who's only ever been a rival, but very little of Gigi's career has happened out of sync with Iker's.

Prompt #93
Focus: Cristiano Ronaldo/Gareth Bale
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Gareth’s sitting in the dressing room, still brooding over the red card. He’s angry for so many reasons: at himself for lashing out, at his body for failing him consistently, and at his inability to summon the right words whenever Cristiano is near.
The last person he expects to find staring down at him is Cristiano, but there’s something he needs to say – something urgent. Gareth can’t hear him over the voices of their teammates.
Suddenly they’re holding hands, Cristiano’s long, tanned fingers leading him away. It’s exactly like one of Gareth’s dreams; the same lingering intensity in Cristiano’s gaze, the familiar rush of anticipation as a door clicks shut behind them.
Optional details: This fic will be inspired by Real Madrid's clash against Las Palmas on 1 March 2017. Real Madrid drew 3 – 3 after a dramatic game at the Bernabéu. Following an uncharacteristic display of temper, Gareth was sent off for only the second time in his professional career. I thought it would be interesting to explore what might have caused him to react this way.

"of what?" isco wonders, tongue between his teeth as he decides his move.
alvaro's eyebrows climb even higher on his furrowed forehead, nearly caressing his hairline.
"of james!"
isco glances up at him. between the shaggy hair and the head tilting slightly, he looks like a very perplexed pup.
"why should i be?"
alvaro's mouth opens and closes, trying to figure out the words. he groans, glances around for support. finds instead marcelo tugging james' arm up over his head and around his shoulder. james beams, drags him closer before kissing at his temple. marcelo goes back to whatever he's griping to cristiano and pepe about.

-dolce & gabbana is going to outfit the groom's party ("an italian?" sergio balks, hands on his hips like a disapproving mom. "what a disgrace.")
-alice is the bride (although not if isco has anything to say about it)
boyish hi-jinks, chaotic wedding planning, bachelor party mischief, SHENANIGANS GALORE! in the midst of the usual wedding madness, there is the question of what the months apart meant for him and isco, if there even is anything there after all the time they spent not speaking about it. on top of all this, alvaro questions whether his future is here at madrid, the place he's dreamt of belonging to his whole life, or if some things are not meant to last forever. through it all, the ties of canterano love and T E A M keep his head attached to his body, his body tethered to the ground.
Optional details: i daydream about this fic in snippets every day. please let me write it because otherwise, i never might.
also, one time, isco wore morata's jersey just to hang out with the group. in return, alvaro wore isco's jersey during celebrations for la decima. it's been almost three years and i have never recovered from this, so neither should they be allowed to.

nacho stands beside him, takes in the sweats, which are loose but clean. his hair's ungelled, but it doesn't look greasy. makes him sigh in relief as he carefully reaches out, a hand on the back of his neck.
"how are you?" he asks, thumb barely brushing over him. his skin's soft, warmed by daylight and summer. dani grunts, tilts his neck to expose more of it to him.
"what do you need?" nacho asks, voice pitched now but firm, demanding.
dani closes his eyes, bows his head forward slightly. the wings of his shoulderblade bunch tight underneath his thin tee, body tensed in expectation.
nacho squeezes, the grip on his neck tightening slightly.
there's no mistaking the low, needy moan that returns to him.
Optional details: listen. canterano buddies becoming best bros becoming starting xi backline besties together is the most excruciatingly beautiful narrative. add on the fact that dani is a delicate violet and nacho's willing to do anything for the team and you've got yourself a story. the future captain and vice-captain of real madrid are prime examples of still waters run deep.

Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: AU - José María Gutiérrez Hernández is easily the most competent witch this side of the Williamsburg bridge. That doesn't stop his human lover's apprentice from getting sucked into an alternate dimension, mind. But it should be noted, okay. None of this is Guti's fault.
Optional details: I was reading too many Marvel and DC magic comics one night and decided to brainstorm an AU. This would probably be a three act (chapter) thing in the style of a classic comic (but like, fic, cause I can't draw).

Prompt #110
Focus: Raúl/Guti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: There’s either a real scientific reason to explain why he’s got Raúl's voice stuck in his head so often these days, or something so batshit that he shouldn’t even try to process it. Guti puts his money on the latter. Telepathic bond AU.

Optional details: A fic dealing with Raúl's feelings/interactions with Xavi during international break.
Yes, the pairing is a little odd, but who doesn't like a good clásico, or Real Madrid-FC Barcelona romance? You always hear about Raúl's good relationships with other players like Pep Guardiola and Carles Puyol, but there's no doubt he and Xavi got along, too.

Optional details: Iker & Xavi run a porn studio which produces high quality adult films. They are in constant battle with a rival porn studio run by Gigi Buffon.
