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: Akashi/Kuroko & Aomine/Kuroko
Fandom: Kuroko no Basuke
Major Tags: tags omitted
Other Tags: tags omitted
Word Count: 482 words

The first two verses of Undercover hit me the hardest so that’s what I went with! Infidelity, unhealthy relationships, emotional manipulation, depression, despair.

***

“I understand, Daiki,” Kuroko says calmly, gripping the phone so tightly that his own joints ache. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

A pause and then, “You too.

He hangs up and puts the phone down with the deliberate overcarefulness of a man hanging on tightly to his control.

There’s silence for a second, then the chair creaks as Akashi stands. His hand comes to rest on Kuroko’s arm, sympathetic without being intrusive, and when Kuroko looks up at Akashi, there’s nothing but pity in Akashi’s gaze.

“He lied to you, didn’t he?” Akashi asks.

Kuroko nods, voice strained, “He said that the camp with his team was going fine.”

The photos on Akashi’s phone tell an entirely different story. Kuroko’s never seen that girl before but she’s stunning, a dead ringer for the Mai-chan that Aomine had idolized so during his formative teenage years.

Maybe that’s why Aomine couldn’t resist her. Maybe that’s why he decided to throw away his relationship with Kuroko by cheating with this girl.

“...I’m sorry, Tetsuya.” Akashi’s hand squeezes Kuroko’s arm so lightly that Kuroko barely feels it, too wrapped up in the death of a seven year relationship. “What are you going to do now?”

Do? Kuroko stares blankly for a second before realization dawns. The apartment is Daiki’s name. So is the car. Kuroko has nowhere to go and no way of taking his meagre possessions out of the apartment.

“I’ll call Kagami-kun,” he says after a few seconds. “He’ll let me stay with him.”

Akashi’s grip tightens for just a second but Kuroko doesn’t notice that either.

“He’s on the other side of the continent, Tetsuya. Surely there must be someone closer.”

“...Do you mean Momoi-san? She’s his manager. I don’t want to put her in the middle of this if Dai-- Aomine tries to convince me to come back.” And besides, Momoi has always looked after Aomine. What if she’s been helping him cover this up too?

“You could stay with me,” Akashi says and slides his hand up to rest on Kuroko’s shoulder. “It would be no problem. Our company keeps apartments for visiting executives with maid and laundry service. I could lend you one for as long as you need - and a car too.”

“...That’s so generous of you, Akashi-kun,” Kuroko says, ducking his head a little. “I really can’t accept.”

“Please,” Akashi encourages gently, placing two fingers under Kuroko’s chin and tilting his head up a little to make Kuroko look at Akashi’s gentle smile. “I insist on helping you. What are friends for, after all?”

Kuroko’s wan smile is so hurt and sweet that Akashi only barely resists the temptation to kiss it. No. Not yet. He has to wait until Kuroko’s more dependent on him.

To make a move now would scare Kuroko off - and it would be a waste of all the money Akashi paid the escort to seduce Aomine.
