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.

If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

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.

She's not a pretty girl. That's not for her. She's a beautiful girl, all long-legged awkwardness and vicious claws and no one but you thinks so. You think she'd look even better with that beautiful cerulean blood staining anything and everything you can reach, and you're definitely the only one who thinks that.

She's not a vulnerable girl. She's no maiden in distress hidden up in a shining crystal tower waiting for her Prince to come. Only, she is vulnerable, just in a different way that you're the only one who ever sees. You see her when she cries after her very first (ruined, mangled) kill, and you see her when she laughs before her friends. You like being the only one to see this, since you know you're the only one she'll trust enough to show.

She's not a flawless girl. Not by any stretch of the word. She's cracked and mad and violent and not really that murderous but has an overwhelming need to survive. But it's okay. No one's flawless, really; even you have issues, though you hide them better than most. You don't mind.

She's not a strong girl. Not like she boasts and wants everyone to believe. She talks like a lion but you get her alone and you know her, pretend to really know her, and she acts like a lamb. She relies on you to comb the tangles from her unkempt hair and soothe all her worries away. Everyone knows growing up hurts, but everybody does, and you'll force her to whether or not she wants to (it's for her own good).

She's not a sane girl. Maybe none of you are, but she dreams more than most and immerses herself so fully in those mad dreams. You think she might be one of the most broken of you all, often mistaking fantasy for what truly goes. Even when she shakes her head at you and tells you, "It's all just in my head. All of it." You can't believe her, because if you don't, who else will dare?

She's not a loveable girl, not at all. And yet, for some reason, you do. She could be the centre of your world if you let her.

Now, though, you are twelve and you have no choice but to believe in each other to let each other survive. You don't think she's seeing that, though. You can already feel her slipping-- slipping away.
