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).

It ends bittersweet, like biting into a bar of baking chocolate and thinking it’s semisweet when it’s really 99% cacao, the taste that Nene can’t erase from her mouth, covering her taste buds, blocking her, stuck in her mind. Maybe it doesn’t end, because there was nothing really that had ever begun, nothing to signify either way, just fraying like a worried end of a string, the leather ties on Koharu’s old baseball glove (Coach has to drag her out to buy a new one because she keeps saying she will, and she makes him run over it with his car to break it halfway in; Nene tries not to think of it as a metaphor).

She knows she can’t get anywhere thinking of Koharu like this, Koharu with her mighty swing and quick reflexes and bad haircut, Koharu who loves baseball so completely that it’s not fair of Nene to want to take up space in her heart. And so she tells herself not to feel those feelings, buries herself in shitty comics and avoids the twist of unrequited-but-not-really, a trope so common in fiction, maybe just as wish fulfillment. And Nene’s feelings fall away, petals on a dead flower; but there is still space where they should be. She feels the space in her mouth, like the space in front of her teeth after she’d gotten her braces off, space for the bitter taste to crawl back.

She takes the score in a neat line on the card, pretends she’s not spending more time on Koharu’s stat line, the batting average that rises like a gull on the sea breeze, a comparison Koharu would laugh at if Nene had made it because that’s probably not how gulls work in real life, so Nene doesn’t make it. She turns away, busies herself with tracing over the numbers of the positions, erasing and rewriting so they fit better in the tiny little boxes. She tugs at her skirt. She smiles at Koharu when she scores, the streak of dirt from her slide at the plate halfway up her sock.

“Nice hit you had.”

“Thanks,” says Koharu, with a grin, and it craters Nene’s heart that ti doesn’t crater her heart.

It’s odd to think about, that she misses wanting, the thrill of knowing it will never happen but entertaining the thoughts too much anyway. Shouldn’t it work the other way, her assumptions just building? But then again, she’s basing it all on fictions, assumptions faultier than a three-run lead in the seventh with the heart of the opposition’s order coming up.
