Battleship 2023

Two teams compete to clear boards of targets. Each board is a grid on which targets of various sizes and shapes are secretly placed. Teams fire shots at the boards. When a shot is fired at a square on the grid, the mods declare it a hit or a miss. Once all the squares occupied by a target are hit, the target is eliminated.
The rules are loosely based on the Battleship board game, but for the Battleship Exchange, shots are fired by creating fanworks with particular tags. For more information, see the complete rules.
The Battleship Exchange was created in 2020 by Soulstoned and Red Ranger, inspired by a community challenge in the Trick or Treat exchange. This year’s mods are Soulstoned, Asymptotical (a.k.a. Firebird), and lailah_tov.

Summary
The early evening sky darkens slowly, stars pulling themselves out of the sky. 'Hikaru' digs his feet into the grass, part of his attention busily appreciating the novel feeling of the green living slide of the strands against his bare toes, the rest just watching Yoshiki lying there, staring up into nothing, his hands folded across his belly.

Summary
Dream feels it, a shiver in the universe like a pebble dropped into the ocean. Tiny ripples almost immediately obscured by the larger waves.
It’s too late to trace the sensation to the source, but he doesn’t need to.
“Dream!” Matthew bursts in with an awkward storm of wings. “Dream, Hob Gadling is in trouble.”

Summary
"I don't want to kill you, Doctor. Not now that I finally find you interesting." Will said sarcastically, gripping tight to the coat that it felt the threads would fray.
"If you recall, I did warn you." Hannibal retorted, cheekily.
"Oh, you've given me plenty of warnings."
With a firm hold on Hannibal's outerwear, he shoved the man down to the ground, so that Hannibal was kneeling before him.
"And I gave you a warning too, didn't I?" Will growled.
--
Will struggles with his conflicted feelings of Hannibal after being released from the BSHCI.
Set around Yakimono where Will ambushes Hannibal in his own home, where he decides to start his reckoning a different way.
