Bonus Round 3: FSTs

This round is CLOSED. Late fills can be posted, but they won't receive points.

We're halfway through all the bonus rounds now. If you're like us, every love song on the radio seems to apply to your OTP. In this round we'd like you to serenade us with some of your top picks!

This round ends at 7PM on July 11 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

Submit prompts in the form of a short playlist (3-6 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. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Riko & Momoi & Alex). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Riko/Momoi/Alex). 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.
You cannot fill your teammates' prompts or your own prompts.

"So! Hajime! Basshi!" Ashikiba clapped her hands together, wide bright eyes making them both square their shoulders a little sharper. "If you want to perform a duet together, the most important thing to do in such a case is to find a song that resonates for both of you!" At her own words, she intertwined her fingers, holding her arms out to them both. "When you do that, you'll be able to feel the true feeling of music pulsing from one heart to the next. It's one of the most beautiful things in the world."

Doubashi clicked her teeth together and Aoyagi slapped her ear - or attempted to, only managing to reach as far up as her shoulder when it came to making any kind of contact. Ashikiba frowned. While she wasn't much of a tutor, she had been glad that friends came to her first when it came to music - though she didn't have a clue where to begin with two people whose biggest understanding of music came from grade school recorders and percussion.

But they did ride bikes - and bicycles, with their beautiful wires and thin singing metal, were instruments in of themselves. Moving music, that carried anyone along land in a way that her performance hall never could, as much as she loved the feeling of her fingers traversing ivory keys as though they contained the entire world.

"What kind of music do you like, Basshi?"

She shuffled in the tight fitting seat that Ashikiba had insisted on, feeling uncomfortable with attempting teaching if there wasn't at least one proper desk in the room (even if the three of them had needed to steal such supplies from a classroom in another building entirely). "I don't ... listen to music," Doubashi grunted, slouching her head down.

"Oh, no, everyone listens to music!" Ashikiba tittered at such an impossible thought. "Do you see many movies? Plays? The school anthem? How many games have you been to? Did you grow up with cartoons? Have you ever heard workers at corners humming to themselves, loving lilting lullabies to share with the world," and she was drifting away into her own fantasy, for a moment, until Aoyagi's cough dragged her back down to Earth, and gazing at Doubashi with expectant eyes.

"...I like some movies. I'm into action. Giant monster flicks. Some romance is alright." She grimaced, starting to hum, poorly, until Ashikiba recognized it as the lead-in theme to many popular western movies.

Though it was a small hope, she still swelled up with a bit of pride at hearing the sound. "Wonderful! Hajime, how about you?"

"Sci fi." In place of humming, she tapped buttons on her phone until she pulled up a video of an expressedly familiar tune from an older science fiction classic - though Ashikiba had never seen it, she'd heard the brass smoothly raise up in calling out the coming of some strange feeling of sunrise, perhaps it was, alongside the endless percussion.

"Good! That's perfect," she answered, turning to her empty board, and privately puffing out a cheek in consternation. Those options were all well and good, but the problem laid more in the fact that their choices didn't have any words - instead focusing on the combination of instruments and harmony to express feeling. It was fine that Teshima had never quite mastered any instrument beyond the harmonica, as long as he had his voice, since she had the piano and could pull along any kind of tune - but neither of her current pupils had that fortune. "Is there ... anything else, though?"

"Jurassic Park is cool."

Ashikiba turned just in time to see Aoyagi's emphatic nod in agreement, and she gained the slightest more heart. That movie had many tunes that were complicated, but on the other hand - several that were simple, several that could focus on percussion, and better yet, simple but soothing harmonica tunes. If anyone had the lung capacity for such things, it would be these two - though Ashikiba still found herself longing for the chance to have real time to introduce them to tubas and trumpets.

Harmonicas were cheap and in great supply - they were easy to play and accessible - or they were supposed to be, she thought to herself, as Doubashi honked into her own, struggling to situate her lips to any space where she could control the sound, as Aoyagi whistled into her own, tone deaf and unaware.

"Um ..." Ashikiba stopped them, hands shaking, feeling a little ill from the bad notes that still hung in the air and in her ears. "M-maybe we should start with ... something else. Like note reading!" She laughed as her two music impaired friends nodded without question. "Nothing like a good note reading to get us all prepared ... for music ..."

She didn't have a clue how she'd prepare them by the end of the month.

aaaa, you wrote Ashikiba, i'm so glad! and she's so happy and exuberant and excited about music... i'm also super excited to see doubao (via terrible musical duet at least?) and Doubashi, i don't think i've seen either the ship or the character in a fill so far, yet...

this was so cute and silly and i can totally see Ashikiba's difficulty in trying to share something that's such a big part of her life to two people who have next to no knowledge of it :') somehow i get the feeling that Ashikiba wouldn't be a very good teacher, what with all her good intentions...

also loved the bonus detail of Teshima only being able to play the harmonica, pfft.
