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!

If there really such a thing as hell, Noya thinks to himself, it exists in the space between him and Tanaka. It's right there in the space between their fingers as they sit on Tanaka's bedroom floor, the distance between Tanaka's head and his shoulder, a gap that he desperately wants to close, even though he knows that he can't. It's not his place to fit into and Tanaka's heart isn't his to mend. It never will be; he's begun to learn that by now. If Tanaka was willing to try things out with Noya, they would have had their chance together by now. Instead, here's there as silent support by his best friend's side, and if this is the place in the world that has been carved out for Noya, he'll take it just because it means that it's still a place beside Tanaka. It's not what he wants, but he's learned by now that what people want is not always the same as what they get.

"Maybe it's me," Tanaka mutters, as another relationship fails, another person failing to realise just how amazing he is. "These things never end up working out, no matter what I do. There must just be something wrong with me, right?"

"No," Noya replies immediately. He nudges Tanaka's foot with his own, and shakes his head just for emphasis. "Shut up with that. It's not you, when you're awesome. These people are just too blind to realise what they're missing out on, or taking for granted. I bet they all realise when it's over and it's too late to fix anything. None of them deserve you, man, and that's a fact. You deserve the world."

Tanaka gives him a sad smile, drawing his knees up to his chest and folding his arms on top of them. "You think so?"

"Hell yeah, I do." Noya needs to pull his own heart out of the equation, before he ends up hurting himself again. He's had enough of this, enough of slowly crumbling from the inside while pretending to be happy that Tanaka has found temporary love with yet another stranger who doesn't see half the things that Noya sees in Tanaka. He needs to stop setting himself up for the hope that Tanaka will finally see what's in front of him, and the crushing pain when he's overlooked, once again. He sighs, looking away. "The right person is waiting for you. You'll find them someday, Ryuu."

"Yeah. I hope so." Tanaka leans against his side. "Thanks."

Noya gives Tanaka the best smile he can muster. He already knows what whoever it is, it's not going to be him.
