Bonus Round 3: FSTs
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.

It's easy to pretend he's forgotten, in the hectic rush of life. When his days are filled with meetings and work, time flies by him so fast that it's dark before he leaves the office. He has no time to remember, to think about it.
It's harder to forget at night, when he has loneliness and absence to remind him. Sometimes it’s just the silence and the stillness. Sometimes it’s an ache, a longing for Midorima to just be here, be where he was.
The lack of it is what strikes at him most, in late hours when he cannot sleep, where he wanders through the rooms like a ghost. The piano is reproachful in its corner, aching for touch, the way his chest aches for love lost too soon. He's afraid to open it, because it has always been more Midorima's than his. But tonight, tonight it sits there, silent and alone, and Akashi cannot help but run his fingers over the lid, finding solace in commiseration.
He misses hearing the sound of it, the sound of the apartment filled with music. The silence presses down and Akashi cannot bear it, cannot bear the way it reminds him of all his losses. Fire cannot burn without fuel, and love dies a slow death in absence.
His fingers are hesitant on the keys, but it's not hard to remember how to play it, scales and arpeggios drilled into muscle memory, even if he hasn't played the piano in a long time now. It doesn't take long before he starts playing simpler pieces he vaguely remembers, improvised from what he can remember of them. He used to accompany Midorima on the violin, they'd played through an entire repertoire of composers, from Tchaikovsky to Liszt, to more modern pieces they’d improvised for duets.
Midorima had always loved the nocturnes most though.
His fingers are halting, hesitant with each note, but he remembers it, from watching Midorima play, from learning it himself, years ago.
Memory is a ghost that lives in his mind, in the empty spaces of their apartment, now taken up by the absence of which Akashi had to live with. It aches, and Akashi sometimes cannot remember how to breathe.
So he plays, and he plays until his fingers are trembling and tired, until he feels like he has exhausted all his emotions and all that’s left is a quiet acceptance and resignation that sinks into his bones.
Letting go is not forgetting. But letting go comes slowly, and he thinks that in this, he is slow to learn. He will remember Midorima in other ways, but not in the spaces he left behind.

this is so lovely and appropriately melancholy and oh, akashi....the repetition of his memories and ways he tries to forget and remember are so haunting i just. im lying here on the cold hard ground.
The piano is reproachful in its corner, aching for touch, the way his chest aches for love lost too soon. -- i LOVE this line, it just encapsulates the entire mood of the song and the story so well. just, akashi's longing for companionship, for someone to play music with, for love taken away from him too soon...ahhhhhhh, man. the last sentence also is a punch to the gut ;A;;;;;.
