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!

FILL: TEAM GRANDSTAND

[ellipsometry]

Ship: mika-chan/daishou suguru/kuroo tetsurou
Fandom: haikyuu!!
Major Tags: none
Other Tags: alcohol/drinking, polyamory
Word Count: ~450

OK THIS IS SHORT BUT LEGIT ONLY BC I HAD TO CUT MYSELF OFF OR ELSE I'D BE WRITING A FCKIN 100K+ COLLEGE AU ABOUT THESE THREE OTL

***

“You know I have to take, like, three trains to get here, right?”

It’s Kuroo’s version of a greeting, so typical that all Daishou can do is roll his eyes. So, look a bit happier to see me! is what he really means. Daishou tends to disappoint on that front, but Mika never does. She’s cheerful as always, greeting Kuroo with a hug and a surreptitious peck on the cheek.

They look good together, Daishou thinks. This was all a terrible, horrible mistake.

“I’m hungry, where are we eating?” Kuroo turns to Daishou with a smile. He has one arm around Mika, the other inching toward Daishou’s waist.

Old habits die hard, and Daishou recoils for a split second before letting himself be pulled into Kuroo’s side for a quick hug.

“You look very pleased with yourself,” Mika laughing, reaching up to ruffle Kuroo’s hair, “It’s your choice for dinner.”

And Kuroo does look pretty satisfied, grinning like the cat who got the cream as he leads the three of them towards his favorite sushi bar.

They hang out and eat like any normal couple or group of friends would, even if they are anything but. Daishou sneers at Kuroo’s choice of sashimi but tries some anyway; they get dessert purely because Mika wants some and neither boy can resist her pouting face; they have just a few too many beers and end up giggling and fumbling with the keys to Daishou’s apartment. When they finally make it inside, Kuroo makes a beeline for the futon, landing face-down and spread-eagle.

“Hey, leave some room!” Daishou reaches out an arm to at Kuroo’s side, drunk reflexes too slow to resist when Kuroo just snakes his own unnaturally long arm around Daishou’s waist, pulling him down onto the bed as well.

“Don’t resist the cuddles,” Kuroo mumbles, and he is so lame and endearing that Daishou wants to puke.

Whatever. It’s fine to fall asleep like this every once and awhile, isn’t it? Daishou accidentally headbutts Kuroo’s chin as he brings his head down to nuzzle against the other boy’s collarbone. They’re a bit too awkward and angular, and they fit together but they do need a bit of a push, which comes in the form of Mika nudging them on the futon to make room. She’s the only one among them who actually manages to change into her night clothes and wash her face, and she climbs into bed and curls against Daishou’s back, yawning as she pulls a blanket over the three of them.

I could get used to this, is what Daishou thinks before he falls asleep, followed by I wish I knew how to get used to this.

c-crying on you... this made my entire day

mika and kuroo being real sweet on each other is so cute, I can definitely see them being more openly affectionate-- and daishou LET URSELF HAVE THIS THEY LOVE YOU. that lack of assurance/verbal appreciation being a bit of a let-down in relationships is too real. man, I'm just working my way down this, DAISHOU RECOILING (btw I just find that really fun wording bc snek) ahhh... I can really feel mika and kuroo wanting this to work and being so content in it, but that "I wish I knew *how* to get used to this." closing line kills me. I believe in u daishou.............. u will get this. eventually.
