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!

Sighs at "love, love, love". Hello darkness my old friend :')

***

The first time Kageyama tries to confess, the words get caught at the back of his teeth.

"I'm--," he stops. He loses the thread of his thoughts. For a moment, all that swims through his mind are echoes of a past he still thinks about at dark nights: the empty courts at Kitagawa Daiichi, the receding tide of his teammates' backs , and the hardened set to Kunimi's eyes as he looked away from the ball sent towards him.

(Not pleasant things to think about, at all.)

But that was then; this is now.

Here, Kunimi doesn't look at him with tired contempt, he doesn't frown or hide the way his jaw is clenched. Here, Kunimi is a friend, and he is patiently waiting for Kageyama to continue.

Here, Kageyama thinks he could be something more with him if he only could be braver to bring himself to say the words he's kept inside his chest for ever so long, properly.

Here, they are at a crossroads, they might go beyond it, even.

And yet Kageyama finds himself stalling in the worst way possible: he is afraid.

Kunimi's fingers come to tap at his wrist, softly, hesitantly, an inquiring touch: are you alright?

"Do you need anything?" He asks and slowly pulls Kageyama to a nearby bench, makes him sit down. He pulls a water bottle from his bag and hands it over, shrugging at Kageyama as a signal for him to drink.

Kageyama does so, gratefully, and tries to will down the blush he feels flaring up when he inadvertently thinks of indirect kisses. The coolness of water slipping down his throat steadies him, and he takes his time to regroup himself. Kunimi comes to lean beside him, a comforting press against his shoulder.

"Feeling better now?"

"Yeah, a bit." It doesn't hurt so much to breathe now. Kageyama caps the bottle and passes it back to Kunimi. "Thanks for…that." And for helping me.

"Mm, it's fine." Kunimi stares hard at him for a few seconds then glances away, focusing his eyes on the playground in the distance. The wind picks up then, fluttering Kunimi's fringe. He reaches a hand out to adjust it, then, sighs. "You don't have to rush it, you know."

Kageyama blinks. "Rush what?"

With a resignation that speaks of him knocking his head against one of Kageyama's many cluelessness, Kunimi snorts, perhaps smiles a bit. Kageyama can never really tell sometimes. He folds his arms and puts more weight against Kageyama's side. "Whatever it is you need to tell me, I'll wait for it."

Relief sinks in like a solvent tablet in water. Kageyama nods his head a tad shakily "A-alright."

They watch the playground's swings sway untethered by the breeze.
