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!

I can’t believe I got through this without any character death BUT zombies. Possibly because I feel like a zombie during this last minute BR crunch.

***



“PEDAL FOR YOUR LIVES!” Fukutomi bellowed as if any of them needed the encouragement. The moans of the zombie pack behind them was enough to have all of the cyclists churning their legs as fast as possible, pulling away from the pack at their respective top clips. At the front, Fukotomi was pulling to break the wind with Arakita close behind him. Toudou kept pace with Manami and Shinkai, Fukutomi glancing back over his shoulder every few seconds to make sure his team was still safe.

If only they could reach the mountaintop fortress before dark, they’d be safe! None of them could ride during the night time – the headlights from their bikes would attract zombies and the bones that littered the roads made riding blind far too dangerous, even if they didn’t have to worry about accidentally riding right into a zombie’s arms in the dark.

Makishima had managed to get word to them of his family’s place high in the mountains. Supposedly it had its own generator and solar panels so was still operational. According to him, it was cold enough up there that the zombies couldn’t come without freezing into unmoving blocks that were easy to destroy.

Their last cell phone was dead now. They couldn’t call him for reassurance or just the comfort of his voice (or Onoda's, or Kinjou’s, or even Tadoroko’s who was apparently in high demand now as his body heat made him an excellent cuddling partner).

They’d all memorized the instructions on how to get there so even if the rest of the team fell, they’d be able to continue. Fukutomi went over them in his mind as he kept his legs pumping, refusing to relax as the moaning of the zombies died away.

It was cold. Makishima was right about that. They’d ditched their cycling gear in favor of stolen jeans and thick, sheepskin jackets that they wore folded around their waists so it wouldn’t catch in the chains of their bikes. Their breath puffed ahead of themselves in white clouds of steam and in some places, the road was slippery-shiny with black ice.

The zombies here were certainly slower but they hadn’t yet hit the cold-weather line past where zombies simply froze stiff.

A little further, Fukutomi told himself, encouraging his aching legs to keep going. A little further and they wouldn’t have to worry about zombies anymore.

His team was counting on him. They only had to pedal a little further.
