Round 4 of claims for artists are open! This is the final round of art claims for the 2021 round. Everybody spread the word! We have 8 story summaries below for you to choose from, and this round, you may choose as many stories as you want to do art for! Just use a different check in ID with each sign-up.

This year, art claims are working a little differently than in years past. We are using a google form to streamline things, which should make things easier both for you as participants and us mods. To claim a story, the form requires email, check in ID, and the identifying number of your first choice of story. Putting your top three choices is best in case your first or second has already been chosen. Please be sure you've read the FAQ before claiming.

Click here to claim a story!

Stories are listed by fandom in alphabetical order and then by the story name, with a number identifying that story (for our records). Stories are first come, first serve. I'll update the post as stories are claimed. On Thursday, I'll temporarily close the form and post the stories that are left.

Official posting dates begin on August 8th. Once all stories are claimed and all artists/authors have been notified, I will put up a sign-up sheet so authors and artists can choose their posting dates.

Authors, if something is wrong with the info for your stories, please let me know ASAP here or via email at wipbigbang@gmail.com.

Summary Izuku Midoriya goes missing at six years old.

Eight years later, Val Rammsteiner crawls out of the Underground that raised him, a mad dog in his spine and blood on his hands. He has no plans to get involved in the Heroics scene--he knows that no stray dog could ever save anyone.

Haikyuu

Title: Almost Lovers Always Do
Pairing/Characters Testuro Kuroo/Kenma Kozume
Rating: Teen
Warnings/Tags: Major Character Death
Summary I guess I’ll see you later, then.

Kuroo knew these words. He wanted to hate them for everything they meant. They meant a broken promise of a future never had. They meant a lifetime of “what if’s” but never were. They meant knowing that he’d always be a second, a minute, a lifetime too late.

But despite all of that, he couldn’t bring himself to hate them. Because those words also meant that, for however brief it might be, he’d found something—someone—and that it would mean something, even if only in the moment he’d say goodbye.

AKA a soulmate AU where the last words your soulmate says to you are printed on your wrist. No one else can see them until after your soulmate says them to you.

Title: Guarding Meister
Pairing/Characters Jazz/Prowl, Ironhide/Chromia, Sideswipe, Blaster, Stungun, Chase, Drench
Rating: Teen
Warnings/Tags: Chooses Not To Use Warnings
Summary Prowl's not happy about being stuck on protective custody detail, but what's a fairly young Enforcer to do when he gets orders? Jazz isn't happy about being stuck in a dull house with cops round-the-clock, but it's better than winding up in a smelter feet-first.

Of course, that was before everything went sideways. Now, Jazz and Prowl are on the run from the very mecha meant to protect them, only to find help in a very unexpected place.
