Bonus Round 4

Mobius Double Reacharound FST - Revisited


Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 4! Bringing back a favourite from last year! (Sorry for the delay, we're very busy!)

Here’s how this is going to work: somebody will submit a selection of 3-6 songs without comment. Then somebody else will come along and create a companion fanwork to fit the soundtrack!

Rules

1. If you are submitting a soundtrack: submit only the track listing and download or youtube links. The idea is that people should ~interpret~ your selections!


2. You are not allowed to fill soundtrack prompts with your team's ship, nor are you allowed to fill your own soundtracks. (Filling your team's soundtracks is okay!)


3. Soundtracks count for 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.


4. Fills may be in whatever format you choose (except FST, of course) so long as they link the songs by mood and/or lyrics in some kind of narrative.


5. Post your fill as a comment to the prompt post, using the title format described below.


6. This challenge will run until 11:59PM EST August 3rd.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.
SOUNDTRACK: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
For prompt posts: 5 points each (maximum of 100 per team)

For Fills (as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

FILL: TEAM Eridan <3< Vriska

the first time i saw you, with your beautiful eyes, i knew you'd be gone as soon as you could go... and why wouldn't you be? what right did i have to hold you?

love of mine, i knew someday you would die. i was only selfish enough to hope i could hold you for a while, against your will. not that i gave you much of a will, did i? maybe if we went back, now, it would be different. probably not. but i'm sure you would have learned to love me back, in time.

anyone can see the road i walk on is one paved with stolen gold. i'm the owner of a vast fortune i was never meant to have, and you know what, my love? i don't regret a thing. maybe i should. then again, there's no way that would ever happen, since if it was that easy for me to take it from them, they probably didn't deserve it in the first place.

So long ago-- so long ago that she doesn't even remember when-- people say that the great pirate (queen) Mindfang lost her only friend.

(of course, they never take into account that these tales aren't real and there is no such thing as a friendship in which someone takes over another's mind and completely annihilates all semblance of free will. friends should be equals. concubines, it seems, need nothing of the sort, but that's okay-- when you have no friends, there's no way anyone can leave you or break your heart and she should never have been so foolish as to let herself love-)

But Vriska was never a pirate queen, and it was only in her dreams that she was great...

Maybe, just maybe, there's someone out there for her.

(maybe even the same beautiful girl there was for her ancestor, as history repeated itself fatefully once again and the roles reversed-- she was never supposed to be the one who died)

So she turns her back on the world (because fuck it all for betraying her in the first place and if she's alone there isn't a damn person who can hurt her anymore) and travels down a road of madness with a heart too broken and black to (n)ever love again. Everyone else is going mad here, but maybe that's her.

Maybe she's been mad all along.

(and maybe it doesn't matter as a pair of jade-green eyes watch her go)
