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).

Kuroko is cruel, but it’s the dull knives that leave the worst wounds. They’re the ones pressed to hard, that don’t cut until they cut too far, and now there’s blood all over Akashi’s hands, invisible to everyone but him. There’s a voice in his head that whispers things of course Kuroko would never, that he’s always had eyes for Aomine, that that twisted tangled metaphor about light rings true here. Aomine’s light is so strong that a stark shadow like Kuroko can’t help but follow, that a shadow may stray and grow long but it will always snap back to the light when the angle changes over.

“I’m glad you could come, Kuroko,” Akashi says, and Kuroko looks back at him, blank as always.

“Of course, Akashi-kun.”

“Oi, Tetsu!”

And Kuroko’s demeanor changes, slight enough to anyone not looking close enough, but to Akashi it’s stark, a sharpened shadow against the pavement as he approaches the streetlight. Aomine’s waving; Kuroko’s lips are slightly curved into a smile; he stands to greet him and Akashi does not look away when they kiss. Perhaps it’s more polite, but this is his house. Were Akashi someone else, he might make a cutting remark about Aomine greeting a significant other like that, but it would fall too dry from his lips.

Aomine’s arm drops around Kuroko’s shoulders, and Akashi sips his tea, thinking about it spreading calm through his body. It does no good to be angry; this is a step up from playing shogi by himself while Aomine distracted Kuroko from their conversations back at Teikou and then Akashi feels pathetic for thinking that. Is it really a step up when he’s still watching them from across the table, almost like a voyeur in his own home to their relationship, Aomine’s unrelenting casual up against Tetsuya’s quiet formality, the way they somehow don’t clash completely. Wanting Kuroko is cruel, and Kuroko’s the one who twists the knife by looking at Aomine the way he does, the smuggest sort of happiness that makes Akashi wish he could crush his teacup in his fist.

He always invites Kuroko; Kuroko always brings Aomine; if Akashi presses it he pretends to assume it’s a group thing. It’s his way of saying that he knows and he does not want any part of this, even if it’s just the two of them, platonically, like he needs his buffer of a boyfriend. But Akashi will not concede; he’ll let Kuroko bring Aomine because he’s still here; perhaps one day Aomine will cancel and Kuroko will not be able to scramble for an excuse; perhaps one day Kuroko will pity him and Akashi will pounce. He can wait.

awww, this is gorgeous. I adore how you've characterized Akashi here - smart enough to know he's hurting himself but unable to make it stop all the same. And his hope that maybe one day he'll win. It's really prettily done and Kuroko being smart enough to bring Aomine along as a buffer is just perf.
