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.

Required Work Minimums:

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!

No warnings, just Hinata being a little petty/obsessive. Thanks so much for the chance to write my dark horse pair!


***

The Olympic medal looks oversized in his hand when he thrusts it triumphantly into the air. On the podium itself, wide smile spread from cheek to cheek, Hinata jumps into the air. The sun glints off the medal and the Olympic torch is positioned just right that its flames look like a continuation of Hinata’s hair.

The picture makes the cover of Newsweek with the headline: THE TINY GIANT OF JAPAN.

Everyone who knows or knew Hinata buys a copy; Hinata’s Facebook feed is flooded with photos of the cover next to photos of Hinata and them,

The only person who doesn’t do that is Ushijima. Hinata wonders if he’s even seen the interview.

R: “As the whole world knows, you’re only 166 cm. That’s very short for a volleyball player! What inspired you to get into volleyball?”

SH: “When I was a kid, I saw a volleyball match on TV when I was passing by. There was this kid, a teenager, jumping. He wasn’t much taller than me but when he jumped, it looked like he was flying. I thought if he could do it, maybe I could learn too!”

R: “And that led you to the Olympics?”

SH: “Not on its own. I met a lot of people along the way who encouraged and discouraged me. My setter, Kageyama-kun, he believed in me and I believed in him. We make a good team because we’ve been together since high school. And Oikawa-kun, he’s also very good. He was one of the first people to pay us the respect of taking us seriously as opponents. And Bokuto-kun too!”

R: “So who was it that discouraged you?”

SH: “Ah, well.” he laughs nervously. “A lot of people teased me for being short. But the worst was this one guy, Ushijima Wakatoshi. He was the ace of his school, Shirtoriwaza, and he acted like we didn’t have a chance against him. Said we were concrete and stuff. I got so mad, I jumped right up and stole a ball from him at his own school.”

R: “You stole a ball?!”

SH: “No, no, not really stole. I jumped higher than him and hit it. I didn’t take it home or anything!”

R: “Ah. It must’ve surprised him to see you in the Olympics!”

SH: “...No, I don’t think so.”

R: “No?”

SH: “I wrote to him when I made it onto the Olympics team.”

R: “What- why?!”

SH: “Well, he just made me so angry back then! I still get angry thinking about it. I wanted him to know that I’d succeeded!”

R: “...Did he ever reply?”

SH: “Yes. He sent me a good luck card.”

Maybe, Hinata thinks, he’ll hand-deliver a copy of the magazine to Ushijima.

[gionkenji]

this song fits hinata/ushijima so well, it's a bit eerie?

hinata is adorable, he has that intensity about him but he's just cute through and through and he's living his dream here!!!! SO GOOD minus ushijima's ~mysterious~ non-participation

loooool at hinata not getting any taller between high school and olympic representation though. can't be the little giant if you're not little lol
what a Thing, to bring up a hs rivalry from your first year, to name drop ushijima as if he wouldn't remember the loss without the extra help.... and to share all this gossip with a magazine, salty

"Maybe, Hinata thinks, he’ll hand-deliver a copy of the magazine to Ushijima." I HOPE HE DOES!!! i hope hinata brings his medal too

thanks for this triumphant display of proving your worst critic wrong! we all should aspire to this level of living out of spite
