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.

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

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).

The first thing Alex does when she wakes up is wonder what time it is for Masako. She reaches out to her side, batting at her morning alarm to turn it off and grabbing for her glasses at the same time, putting them on so she can read the red digits of the clock by her bed, telling her that she's woken up to her first alarm for the day, at five thirty. She sometimes hits snooze for another fifteen minutes but she's not feeling it today. Not when her bed feels emptier than she'd like it to be, her apartment too big, too quiet.

It's too early in the morning for mental mathematics, so she picks her phone up instead, checking her world clock. It's half past nine at night for Masako right now. If Alex wants to catch her before bed, she has an hour to make that call.

She drags herself out of bed, still wrapped in her thick blanket, and makes herself some coffee first. At least that way, she'll be less likely to sound like she's dying over the phone. That's always a plus. She's still yawning as she dials Masako's number, but she can deal with that.

"Alex," Masako answers immediately. "It's early for you."

Yawning again at the reminder, Alex wipes the tired tears from her eyes. "Yeah. I missed you."

Masako doesn't reply immediately, but Alex hears her sigh and it's a simple sound, filled with the same kind of longing that she feels. "I miss you."

"I wanted to talk to you," Alex tells her. "I mean, I wanted to talk to you anyway, but I had a reason. I'm sending one of my boys to you."

Masako is silent for a beat, then says, "Himuro Tatsuya."

"You know him," Alex says, surprised.

"You only have two boys," Masako tells her. "Kagami Taiga, who already moved to Tokyo, and Himuro Tatsuya. Unless you've adopted more since we've last talked?"

Alex laughs. "I didn't adopt—"

"Close enough," Masako tells her. "You love them like they were your own."

"And I'm sending one to you," Alex says softly. "Take good care of him, won't you? He isn't like Taiga. Tatsuya needs someone to pull him out of his own head before he gets lost in there."

Masako hums in thought. "You've sent him to the right place, at the right time. I'll have an interesting partner for him. That aside, I'm willing to take your pupil on as my own, but when are you going to come here?"

Alex sighs heavily. "Soon. I promise."

"If these two boys of yours are as good as you say, they'll play against each other eventually," Masako says. "You'll have to come and see them."

"And I have to come and see you," Alex murmurs. "I will. I promise."

"Good," Masako replies, and Alex hears her muffle a yawn.

It's unfair, Alex thinks, that they're both tired, both alone, on opposite ends of the Pacific Ocean like this. "I'll see you soon."
