Rounders is a bat-and-ball game where players score points by attempting to hit a thrown ball, then running between four bases, distinct from the batting position, which are marked by wooden posts. A point, or "rounder", is scored when the batting player completes a circuit of the bases, without being gotten "out". A batter is out if a fielder catches the ball cleanly; the batter reaches a base that had been 'stumped' (touched while holding the ball) by a fielder; the bat is dropped whilst the batter is running; the batter leaves the base before the bowler has bowled the ball; or the batter is 'run out' (overtaken) by the next batter.
as a person with hyperfixation on both Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, I really love crossovers with their characters from different movies. such as David Mills/Aaron Stampler, Rusty Ryan/'Worm' Murphy, and so on. it's not necessarily ships, just their dynamic would be very interesting to me, I LOVE arts with this content (I haven't seen any fics with similar crossovers, but if you've seen something like that, please send me a link 🙏)
