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).

I LOVE THEM

***

Tooru has known Bokuto now for almost five years. They've played together, fought together, and slept together—in the platonic sense, that is. They know each other well, and on the court they play even better.

Knowing what he does, Tooru never expected to be the one bubbling with impatience, yearning for something to happen, but here they are. He puts it out of his mind and tries to focus. It's match point, the fifth and final set of their game against Germany. Perhaps he's being melodramatic, but it feels as though this serve will determine more than just the colour of their medals.

Tooru takes a deep breath. The whistle blows. He throws the ball up into the air, everything narrowing down to its flight, the weight of his legs as he begins his run up. It feels like everything is moving in slow motion. He leaps, swings for the ball.

The crowd is screaming before Tooru even sees the umpire's call. He had taken a chance, aiming right for the very corner of the box, their wing spiker's weak left side. The call comes in: the serve is safe.

"SEEEERVICE—AAAAACE!" Bokuto screams, picking Tooru up in his arms and swinging him around.

Tooru feels deafened, breathless—he's laughing, and then there are tears on his face, and his teammates crowding around him to smother him with their sweaty bodies. He loses sight of Bokuto, but he can't see anything more than a blur of faces and white-and-red shirts as he's jostled and spun around. Finally he feels warm hands on his neck, and then Bokuto cradles his face and laughs at him.

"We did it," he yells, clutching Tooru tightly. "We won, we won."

Tooru fists his hands in Bokuto's jersey, and laughs.

—

The after party is loud and overwhelming, but Tooru doesn't get drunk. He's the centre of attention, but for once, he hates it. Bokuto is there with him in the scrum for most of the night—the star setter and his indomitable ace. They're close, but apart. There are too many people, too much shouting and laughter for them to do more than catch each other's eye occasionally and grin, disbelieving at what they've achieved.

It's afterwards, when Tooru sneaks away, and Bokuto follows. When they walk hand in hand back through Olympic village. When Bokuto pins him against a wall in the darkness and murmurs, "We did it, I knew we would."

"What now, Koucchan?" Tooru murmurs, putting his hands on Bokuto's shoulders.

He doesn't specify; Bokuto knows what he means. Tooru made his feelings clear six months ago.

"I made you wait," Bokuto says, looking regretful.

Tooru shakes his head. "You were right. We needed to focus."

"And now?" Bokuto looks so hopeful, his eyes so soft and longing—Tooru can't help but wonder if he's been looked at like this for the past three months without even noticing.

"Now," Tooru says, tugging Bokuto closer. "Don't you think?"

Bokuto laughs, and keeps laughing as they kiss, until Tooru is laughing too and they have to stop until they can touch one another without giggling. He feels high on their win, high on the feeling of Bokuto's lips grazing his cheek, huffed laughter on his skin. His heart is so full, he thinks it might explode.

"Take me to bed, Koucchan," Tooru murmurs, sliding his arms around Bokuto's neck. "And don't let me go."
