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.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:

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).

sohoku 3.0 is probably going to be a little bit of a disaster, too


***

Miki always wears her Kanzaki Cycle Shop apron like her favourite colours. Even here at their third Interhigh together, where she is completely and wholly Sohoku's, she carries her family name like her own proud banner.

Aya sometimes feels like all she can do is watch.

She watches as Miki gently places her bike wrench back in its place in her repair kit, watches as Miki slowly unties the double-knotted bow of her apron and carefully slips it over her head. No point in letting it catch against the bike grease smeared across her cheek from the hasty chain repair she had done for Onoda on the way to the mountain checkpoint, caught in the middle of a summer shower. It had been beautiful, droplets catching in Miki's hair as she had expertly righted the gears in record time, and when she had pushed Onoda back into the battle for the peak she had been humming the Love Hime theme along with him, crowned by the rainbow that had curved against the bright blue of the summer sky, its brilliant colours refracting all that rain into a halo.

Onoda had not been able to catch up and Manami had to take the peak alone. Miki had looked at her hands and her mouth had been set in a straight line. "Tomorrow, we'll get it back," Miki had said. Her voice had been bright and resilient, but Aya has been watching for a very long time, and she knew.

Kaburagi and Danchiku and Naruko fight together for the second day sprint checkpoint, and then it was Kaburagi and Danchiku losing it alone. Miki is at the feed station as they pass by and she cheers them on with her strongest voice. Aya stands beside her and cheers louder, cheers with all of the anger in her lungs and the frustration lining the empty hollow space in her chest, and when all of Sohoku passes through, she takes the hand that Miki lets fall tiredly at her side. Miki is still smiling.

"These idiots are only doing this well because of you," Aya grits out as she tightens her hold on Miki's hand. She wishes Miki didn't have to smile all the time. She wishes that she could smile in Miki's stead. "They're nothing without you. Think of the disaster this would actually be if you weren't here."

Miki just laughs at that and Aya wonders if this was the wrong thing to say.

The third day sees Naruko and Imaizumi lead Sohoku into the mountains again, and the entire team holds its breath as their captain and vice-captain prove themselves as the elites they are, Sohoku's double aces that have put everything on the line. They just need to send Onoda ahead. They need a miracle they can't afford to throw away.

"This is yours," Aya says as they wait at the finish line. There's nothing else they can do now. "They're yours and they won't let you down."

"It's yours, too," Miki replies softly, and she reaches for Aya's hand as they wait to see which colour emerges from the peak.

Years&Years always give me Feelings and somehow it all spiraled into...this *weak laughter* hope you like this!!

***

There's a chess set he keeps by the side of his desk like a white elephant.

"Do you play?" Iwaizumi had asked Oikawa once, back when they were very, very young.

"Not really," he'd answered then and it was a sort of truth; he knew the basics of where each piece could go and that whoever ended up on the white side always took the first turn, but he never had the inclination to find out more about the finer aspects of the game. Volleyball was always the main priority, after all.

"Then, why do you even have it in the first place?"

A good question. Oikawa had simply shrugged and smiled, said, "I just like the look of it."

Iwaizumi squinted at him, like he didn't believe a word that came from his mouth, and it made Oikawa laugh all the more because there was nothing else to prove.

It really was just that.

(He thinks.)


***


The first time he loses a match in junior high, Oikawa cries.

The frustration starts as a burn inside his chest that spreads all over without a care for his consent, a wildfire he doesn't want to acknowledge until the tears become too hot for him to hold back. So, they fall and fall and fall.

Into Iwaizumi's cupped hands.

Seeing the way the moisture pools between the lines and creases of his best friend's fingers leaves him feeling uneasy, suddenly, but it also makes him stop crying. Quietly, he reaches into his pocket for a tissue and passes it to Iwaizumi, watches him wipe his hands clean with it and throw it into a bin.

There's something carthatic about the whole process, and perhaps, it is the lack of thought that goes with discarding something so easily that makes it so oddly satisfying.

(Oikawa wants to replicate the feeling.)

He goes home and opens the chess set. He picks up a pawn, since it's the most useless piece on the board, squeezes it once just to memorise the shape of it in his palm, and then, it's gone; he's flung it outside his room window.

The sharp thud it makes as it hits concrete echoes like a sonar.


***


It becomes a pattern, then.

A bishop goes flying when Kageyama replaces him for the very first time as setter; a queen breaks against the wall as he remembers how insurmountable Ushijima made the court nets seem; a knight gets lodged in the gutter down below the day Seijou is denied any chance at Nationals during his second year of high school.

Each piece takes its turn to go missing, leaving random gaps on the chess board that he'll never fill again, because he's not planning on buying a new set just to make up for the deficits.

(Instead, the growing emptiness soothes him.)

In the end, it all comes down to the final two pieces: the kings.

The black one he hides, because for some forsaken reason, he can't bring himself to do anything to what's considered the defining piece to every chess game, and as for the white king, he gives it to Iwaizumi.

He doesn't react at first, when Oikawa shows up and presses it into his hands.

"Please take care of this," he says, and it feels like a burden's been lifted off his shoulders as Iwaizumi's fingers curl slowly over it, wordlessly protective.

Iwaizumi takes a look at it then, before he nods, taking things in stride the way only he unerringly does, and asks just a single question: "It's important to you, isn't it?"

Oikawa looks to the side. "In a way, I suppose."

(He wants to say thank you, thank you for showing it the care it deserves because all I ever did was hurt the others, but the words are stubborn, lodged deep within his throat.)

"Alright then, I'll keep it." Iwaizumi smiles, simply accepting it for what it is.

And with that, Oikawa lets it go.

Warnings for crippling sports injury, depression, Aomine being a jerk! This kinda went in the wrong direction….

***



"Find another sport," Kuroko suggested and Aomine glared at him as if Kuroko just told Aomine to shoot Tetsuya #2.

"Even if I wanted to find another sport," Aomine snapped, "It wouldn't be basketball. And how many sports are there where I wouldn't have to use my legs?"

"E-sports," Kuroko said so promptly that Aomine knew Kuroko had been thinking and planning already. "They're very popular. Your physical condition only matters for your hands and arms there."

"I'm not going to play a video game professionally, Tetsu," Aomine said through gritted teeth. "That's for geeks and besides, you have to be young for that. I'm too old."

"You could still try," Kuroko said patiently. "There's a new MMO called Glory that's very popular. At least it'd give you something to do while you recuperate."

"Recuperate implies that I'm going to get better," Amine said, unable to stop himself from picking fights with Kuroko even though he knew that his boyfriend didn't deserve it. "I'm not. My leg's shot and it's going to stay that way for the rest of my lie."

Kuroko turned around and marched out of the room. For a second, Aomine wondered if he'd said too much and that would be the straw that finally made Kuroko leave him but when Kuroko returned, he was carrying his own laptop with an Ethernet cable plugged into the side.

"Here," he said as he set it down on Aomine's lap. "At least try it. Then you'll have something solid to explain why it won't work. I already loaded up an account card but you'll get to create the champion yourself."

"This is stupid," Aomine grumbled but he set his hand on the mouse anyway. Kuroko found a hardback book and slid it under the mouse to use as a mousepad.

Five minutes later, Aomine was engrssed in trying to make a character that looked as much like himself as possible.

Five hours later, Aomine was still playing.

*

"When I announced my retirement from professional basketball, I thought that it was the end of my life," Aomine said, adjusting his collar nervously. Press conferences always made him so nervous but his new team insisted that with his star power, he had to give one and get the team more publicity. Momoi had agreed with them and more damningly, so had Kuroko.

He coughed and continued, "I couldn't imagine living if I couldn't play. And then my boyfriend, Tetsu - Kuroko Tetsuya - told me to try competitive e-sports. I didn't think I'd like it. I didn't even want to try it. But here I am, signing on with Team Happy. I hope you will support us through the upcoming season."

His polite speech wasn't very good still but behind the stunned reporters (they'd no doubt been expecting an announcement he was returning to basketball), he could see Momoi and Kuroko starting to clap.

He still had the both of them. Losing basketball had been bearable, after all, with the two of them standing by his side.

Now it was time to conquer the world of GLORY.

They fight about stupid shit sometimes. Kagami’s not even sure what it was this time that had set off the stupid chain reaction, but there’s no immediate importance to it, only that it had happened and now they’re here, on opposite sides of a divide existing as clearly between their minds as it does physically. And they’re both still mad; Kagami’s mostly mad at how Aomine had juts fucking stormed out like that, but it’s not as if they would have somehow figured out how to solve all of their issues if he’d stayed behind. Kagami can wait it out, wait for him to come back; he’s got patience. It just might not be enough to deal with Aomine’s stubbornness (somehow it never is; it’s as if Aomine delights in pushing his limits in that, too, and maybe he does).

Kagami sighs; there are only a few places where Aomine could have gone and if he’s going to have to go after him at least he knows where to look. He shoves on his sneakers, grabs his keys, and locks the door to his apartment behind him as he goes. It’s cold, but Aomine had taken the sweatshirt on the coat rack (he can’t be too mad if he’s still wearing that); Kagami walks to the park quickly, checks the basketball courts and finds nothing. He turns to look at the vending machines, and there’s Aomine in that grey sweatshirt. Kagami shoves his hands deeper into his pockets. Aomine sees him as he’s coming over, jerking his head towards an unoccupied bench. When Kagami gets close enough he sees Aomine’s got two cans of coffee, one held out.

“That for me?” says Kagami.

“No, I want to be up all night,” says Aomine, rolling his eyes.

Kagami scowls but takes the can, opening it as they sit. “Thanks.”

Aomine nods. His posture’s loose, legs slightly spread, free hand open, slouching against the back of the bench. It’s a casualness that may once have been forced, but he’s so used to it now his body remembers without him trying.

“I said some dumb shit,” says Aomine. “I was an ass, and running away didn’t help.”

Kagami shrugs. “We needed space. Maybe that wasn’t the best way of going about it, but.”

“I wasn’t done,” says Aomine. “I’m sorry, okay?”

Kagami grins. “Me, too. Also for interrupting.”

“It’s all good.” Aomine waves his hand.

And on my own time, I wanna waste mine
And spend the rest of it asking myself, "Is this who you are?"
And I don't know
It just feels gross

Put It Behind You Now by Keane (lyrics)
Times goes by at such a pace
It's funny how it's easy to forget a face
You hide the cracks, the facts will find you
Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now
You better it put it behind you now
You better do what's best for you

Don't Let Me Fall Behind by Jukebox the Ghost (lyrics)
Cause I'm the ghost of your past and mine slowly combined
And I'm the one with whom memories you can reside
Come back at anytime
And I'm the one who you can call at anytime
Don't treat me like the past
Don't let me fall behind

...So, yeah, this got a little violent and creepy, but it’s not actually got anything all that bad! A little non-consensual groping and looming but really NOT THAT BAD.

***


"Not bad," Arakita says and the boy whirls around, all big startled eyes and sweetly shocked mouth. Arakita's used to girls with mouths like that, the kind of girls that blow slow, exaggerated bubbles and wink at you right before popping them, but not boys. Especially not boys who look so damn innocent, lips pursed in an O and prettily full. There's no paint on them, no fuck-you scarlet or sweetly poisonous pink shellac. There's no barriers between him and the world except those glasses of his.

Glasses are another thing that Arakita's unused to. Bikers rarely wear glasses except occasionally shades. These big round glasses look like something out of a children's book.

Acting on impulse, Arakita leans over and plucks them off the boy's face.

"What-- Thank you - what are you doing?" At last, the boy finds his voice. It squeaks high with surprise, a mouse caught in a corner, and Arakita finds his mouth curling into an unbidden smile.

He's missed this. Oh, he'll be good for Fukotomi, he'll pay at being leashed, but he is a wild thing at heart and wolves carry the forest in their heart.

"Just wondering," Arakita says as he sets the glasses aside and catches the boy's chin between his fingers. "What makes you so special."

"I'm not special," the boy says and Arakita squeezes his cheeks lightly. It's all soft, just as he was expecting. How can he have won the InterHigh if he has even a gram of spare fat on his body? Arakita's as lean and rangy as a wolf, barely enough padding on his ass to let him endure having to sit on the bicycle seat.

"People who aren't special don't win the InterHigh." He leans forward, wraps an arm around the boy (he squeaks again, a stuffed toy that's been stepped on) and grabs a good handful of the boy's ass. When his fingers close on muscle instead of fat, a tight little bubble butt that any model would be proud of, Arakita lets go and steps back from the boy.

His teeth flash in a smile that makes the boy cower back from him, the instinctive response of prey that no medal can overcome, and Arakita pats his cheek lightly.

"You're not as useless as you seem," he tells the boy. Big, bewildered blue eyes blink up at him, disfocused without the glasses were and Arakita generously puts the glasses back on the boy's face. They're a little askew but the boy relaxes when he can once more seen.

"Onoda, right?" Arakita says and is rewarded by a jerky little nod.

"You pulled me--" Onoda starts to say.

"Yeah, I know. And I told you that you were like Fukotomi." His smile makes the boy flinch again but Arakita steps back, puts even more space between them. "And you're still going to stand there and say you aren't special?"

Onoda's cheeks flush a pretty pink, pinker than any lipstick that Arakita's ever seen, and Arakita tousles his hair in his best impression of the seniors of his old gang.

"You're fucking unbelievable, kid," he says and swaggers off.

Such innocence isn't for him to taint.

i love this song but it hurt to write gosh

***

Koutarou stares down at the people walking down the street. There’s a lady walking her dog over there, but he can’t even work up the energy to be excited about it. He’s still feeling the freezing stiffness locking his limbs in place like it always does when Akaashi levels him with that cold, flat stare, the one that makes his green eyes look like sharpened jade stones, and Koutarou can barely remember to breathe.

You’d think he’d have gotten used to how ruthless Akaashi can be. But, Koutarou supposes, one does not simply “get used to” Akaashi Keiji.

It’s Koutarou’s fault, really. He knew Akaashi was having a Bad Day. Koutarou can’t help it, he craves attention and company, and he especially craves Akaashi. When they’re both at home, he finds himself gravitating towards the other man, settling on the couch next to him while he’s scrolling away on his tablet, dropping into the chair next to him when he’s eating a late meal. Akaashi is Koutarou’s favourite person—arguably even higher on the list than Kuroo, but Akaashi isn’t always his favourite person to be around.

See, the thing with Akaashi is this: he is winter grace and winter ruthlessness all in one. Akaashi is as beautiful and breathtaking as snowfall in the middle of the night, smart and captivating, wicked sharp humour. But Akaashi is as biting as December cold, quick with his opinions and harsh with his quips. Akaashi is proud and Koutarou both loves and hates that about him.

But Koutarou is just as proud. He doesn’t know how to make his words sharp and dripping with honey-poison like Akaashi does, but he knows the bitter tang of stubbornness and the chill that sets in during a cold war behind closed doors. He knows the burning flames that rise from his gut to his throat, bypassing his brain as he spits back accusations he doesn’t mean just to watch the disbelieving widening of Akaashi’s eyes. He knows the exhaustion that comes with every fight, the crushing heaviness in his ribcage because what if Akaashi is right, what if they weren’t meant for this after all, what if this time is the last time, what if they’ve really broken themselves too far.

The balcony door slides open behind him. Koutarou doesn’t turn his head, but he can picture Akaashi’s face clear as day; the downward tilt of his lips, the way his gaze slides to the side and flickers away from Koutarou, the weary lines around his eyes.

“Koutarou-san,” Akaashi says, voice drawn and quiet.

“Akaashi,” Koutarou says back.

There’s a pause, and years ago Koutarou would have been shaking in his seat at the stifling silence. But Koutarou has years of practice reading Akaashi’s silences now, and this one is as familiar as his own reflection.

“What do you want for dinner?” he says, stretching out his arms.

Akaashi slips into the other chair. He looks out at the street below them, too, and when Koutarou risks a glance over, his frown isn’t as severe as Koutarou thought. “How about we eat out today?”

Koutarou hums. “We could try that new restaurant by the library.”

“Okay.” Akaashi tips his head back, and Koutarou watches a slight breeze brush through his messy curls. It’s gotten long again.

“It’s nice today, isn’t it?” he says quietly, and Koutarou knows that Akaashi hears what he doesn’t say.

I’m sorry, and you are, too, aren’t you? We’re still okay, aren’t we? We’re going to be okay, won’t we?

“Yes,” Akaashi replies just as quietly, and Koutarou closes his eyes.

He tilts his face towards the sky, and allows the mess between them to fade back like the tide, for another day, for another day.
