Bonus Round 3: FSTs

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

Profess your love for your favorite ships with the power of song! In this round, we ask you to create fan soundtracks and use them as inspiration for new fanwork.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES

• Submit prompts in the form of a short playlist (1-6 songs) and a ship from any of our nominated fandoms. Submit only the track listing and a link to where they can be listened to; the idea is for others to interpret what you present. You may also link to lyrics if you would like.
• Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Lilia & Sara). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Lilia/Sara). Please don't say "Any pairing," either.
• Create content based on the playlists of others! Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
• Fills may be in any form you choose (except for another FST of course) as long as they are inspired by/fit the mood of the soundtrack they are filling for.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

FILL: TEAM PRINCE OF TENNIS, T

[fickle]

Ship: Reiji/Takeru
Fandom: Prince of Stride
Major Tags: tags omitted
Other Tags: tags omitted
Word Count: 401 words

***

The fans scream and Reiji laughs, throws back his head to expose the slim column of his throat. He waves to them and then steps back, letting the curtain descend.

They’re all exhausted after a show, hoarse-voiced and in need of a shower. The adrenaline rush that comes from a successful performance is there but it fights against the drain of energy that comes from dancing and singing for hours.

Their congratulations to each other are muted, slaps on the back and arms, the occasional muttered compliment that sounds nothing like their high, clear voices on stage.

What they are has been stolen from them; what they are was freely given to the girls with grasping hands and hungry hearts.

Reiji needs to refill himself so he parts from the others and goes to his private dressing room. Shizuma wants to accompany him (always) but he tells Shizuma wait, tells Shizuma stay and like the leal servant he is, Shizuma obeys.

He leaves Shizuma behind and steps instead into Takeru’s world.

No singing here, no screaming fangirls. There is nothing but Takeru’s hand in his, pulling him through the window, dragging him down the street.

He sheds glitter as he runs, leaves behind a sparkling star trail like Hansel’s breadcrumbs. Stardust marks his trail, a discarded skin under which he is silk-bare and open to the night. They run through the city and Reiji fills himself with its electric lights, with its noise, with its charred air. He will purify everything he takes in and spit stardust when he brushes his teeth in the morning.

Besides him, running, Takeru is the night. He is silent and dark, a black hole to Reiji’s brilliant star-heart.

But when Reiji kisses him (under the bridge, hidden from sight, two bodies, two boys), Reiji is the one who takes. He swallows Takeru’s silence, Takeru’s endless calm, and lets it soothe the bruised places inside himself.

It hurts to tear his heart out and feed it to the crowd but nothing less will satisfy them.

He fills himself with Tomoe and lets the other’s cool numb the parts of him that still throb with hurt. He is full now, full of peace and pollution, full of adrenaline and adoration, and he will survive another day.

It’s late and they should run home.

In perfect silence, they kiss until the sun rises, fingers intertwined and heartbeats synched.

OK, these songs honestly make me really emotional because they're so affirming? so yeah, this entire fill just touches on a soft spot for me. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND I AM SAVED, basically

i love that it starts with all the burdens that reiji has to deal with on a regular basis. his job is his life, but it's high stress AF. i mean, he's not inclined to share that with his fans and the other group members are more or less in the same situation so obviously he's gotta run with/to takeru. "No singing here, no screaming fangirls. There is nothing but Takeru’s hand in his, pulling him through the window, dragging him down the street." feels so singular to me? like from here onward, it's just the two of them and as long as they're together, everything's magic i feel so sappy how did this happen to me i'm gonna cry at handholding shdfdgasfg

THANK YOU for all this lovely imagery!!!! the way it transitions from glittery makeup to starry skies to bright urban energy to charcoal filter all the way back to stars, GEEZ i'm enchanted!! takeru as the night, no words needed, just his expansive presence to match reiji's light ahahahadsdfgdf my heart T.T the give and take, light and dark, endless love for a depleted soul, i can't

THE LAST LINE!!!THEY'RE KISSING AND HOLDING HANDS, THIS IS A LEVEL 5 EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahhhhh, this fits so well the fst and is so so romantic in that us-against-the-world way that i apparently love. it's killing me softly and i would much prefer death by murder-content so y'know, a surprise for the both of us??? they're in love and i am SO HAPPY for them, thank you so much <33
