3sfmod posting in

Welcome to the 2023 Three Sentence Ficathon!
As of 16 Jan 2023 this post is NOW CLOSED TO NEW PROMPTS! PLEASE POST YOUR NEW PROMPTS HERE, IN POST 2! Do continue to fill prompts here but please put all new prompts in Post 2.

This post will remain open for new prompts until we hit 4000 comments, at which point we'll open a new one to avoid captcha as long as possible. New fills and comments on fills will always be welcome.

How to Prompt

Prompts should be one prompt per comment, formatted in this way: fandom, character(s), prompt word/sentence

Example: Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't like sand

Prompts may also be open ended, unspecific, or anthropomorphic, such as:

any, any, I don't like sand
or
Earth geography, sand, I don't like humans very much, either

Prompts for relationships are welcome; a / is used for romantic/sexual relationships and an & for platonic. A prompt that uses both means the relationship can be written as either romantic or platonic, such as:

Star Wars, Anakin/&Obi-Wan, I don't like sand

Prompts may be repeated if they are unfilled; there is no obligation to read through every prompt to make sure yours isn't a repeat. This year's 3SF will stay open for new prompts through Sunday, February 12th.

How to Fill

Respond to your chosen prompt with a short fic of three sentences containing the fandom & characters requested!

Prompts can be filled more than once, as many times as someone has a new idea for them.

Notes & Rules

No, fills do not need to be exactly three sentences! It's more of a guideline. Please abuse grammar and punctuation as much as desired.

3SF is a Choose Not to Warn space. Spoiler and content warnings are not required, though writers are free to add them if they please. If you see something you don't like, just scroll until you do!

A Dreamwidth account is not needed to participate. Anonymous prompts/fills are welcome, or you can use Open ID.

Cross-posting is encouraged; there is a 3SF Collection on AO3 if you'd like to post fills there as well.

Note that the comm is searchable! Tick the 'include comments' button when searching to easily find prompts for your chosen fandom/characters.

And most importantly, have fun! If you have questions, check the Sticky Info post and if they're not answered there, head to the Contact the Mods post.

Narnia/Sandman, Lucy/Delirium, she was once called Delight

From:

silveradept

"I don't understand why anyone wants to grow up," the young girl said to Queen Lucy, "and I can fix that, if you really want me to."

Lucy looked at the girl with the mismatched clothing and the multi-colored hair, her eyes widening as she realized who was offering her the chance to skip out on having to grow up again.

"It's a very kind offer," Lucy began before the world dropped away from her and she began to feel the happiness that comes on from having too much delight in too small a container to hold it all.

From:

whynot

Narnia/Sandman, Susan & Destiny, a stranger in his garden

From:

ravenlilyrose

There is a stranger in Destiny's garden, a girl, one he does not expect and does not recognize; she is not supposed to be here.
"Destiny," she greets, sounding like a queen and not a girl, and somehow she knows him while he doesn't know her, "I was told I could find you here and that you might need my assistance with something?"
Destiny considers her, then opens his book to read, and yes, they will make a fine team, a very fine team indeed, he thinks as he offers Queen Susan his arm.

From:

whynot

Oh she would definitely have some advice for Destiny xD

From:

ravenlilyrose

I'm kinda terrified of what they could do together, honestly

Star Wars, Captain Rex & Luke & Leia, too much like your parents

From:

senmut

It wasn't that they weren't like their parents, Rex decided, after studying them on Endor for a while, waiting for a transport large enough to take them and their prisoners home.

It was that the two of them mixed up all the pieces of his General and the Senator, with the Princess quicker to temper and action like his General, and the Jedi like the Senator's hopes of finding the peaceful path backed by a willingness to do violence.

The flip of genders to the traits he saw made it amusing, and he kept filing the pieces away for whenever he saw ... well, for the future.

From:

ravenlilyrose

This is so sweet and just a little sad and it’s amazing and I love it.

From:

senmut

Thank you, so much! I loved the prompt.

From:

be_themoon

it's true! luke is so much padme's child and leia is so much anakin's, but there is also so much else and ahhh

this is excellent thank you

From:

Thank you!

Narnia, Edmund&/Jadis, you really think it's over after all these years

From:

vialethe

you know perfectly well what this is a sequel of sorts to!

There is no need for sleep in Aslan’s Country, of course, but it survives regardless as one of the great pleasures of life, the ability to sink down into a downy featherbed, to bury one’s face in a cool pillow and burrow under the weight of pure white linens, the bedclothes heaped high as snow-covered hills.

So it is that Edmund sleeps, and dreams still, even here in paradise; so it is that the chill comes to him, the scent of powdered sugar on the edge of a breeze, a bright ringing of silver bells in his ears, and not the slightest fear to accompany them.

“My darling boy,” she says, her voice rich and thrilling as he remembers, “you’ve come home at last, and without your elder sister to deny us,” and when her white, white hands come alongside his face, Ed turns over in dreaming, and smiles.

From:

LETHE NO

BAD LETHE

From:

I don't know what you mean, I've never done anything wrong in my life.

From:

From:

Wait that's not how the dialogue goes!!! Also that's why you love me.

From:

From:

Star Wars, any, Time Travel not fix-it just chaos

From:

word_devourer

"Yousa shoulda listened!" he shouts, the burning red lightsaber swinging with wild abandon, loose debris flying in a maelstrom of channeled Force.

"I don't know who you are," shouts Anakin next to him, barely audible over the noise, "but since you look like you know what you're talking about, have you ever heard of Darth Plagueis the wise!?"

"He is... no role model," says Darth Vader, the only words he can muster the attention for as he tries to get enough of a lock on Darth Binks to force choke him into submission.

From:

ravenlilyrose

Soooooooo much chaos. This is glorious

From:

ceruleantactician

Oh no, lol, not Darth Jar Jar! And poor Vader, trying to give advice to his younger self.

From:

marquisguyun

Luke shuffled, trying to balance himself and get a better grip with his left hand as he tucked his right arm against his body.

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father," Darth Vader said, and all Luke could think was how dare you!

"He told me enough," Luke snapped at him. "He told me you killed him."

Vader looked like he was about to say something more, but then--

"Sorry to interrupt," a voice came from behind Vader.

Both Luke's and the Sith Lord's heads whipped towards the sound to see a previously unnoticed man standing there. He was tall but not quite Vader tall, dressed in black and brown with a glove on one hand. Where had he come from? How had neither of them noticed him show up?

The stranger smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Are you talking about Obi-Wan Kenobi? Because as soon as I figure out where he went, I'm sure he'd be happy to talk to the two of you."

From:

ravenlilyrose

This is perfect and amazing and I am barely refraining from screaming

From:

Star Wars, Luke Skywalker & Jedi Council, what's going on?

Narnia/Sandman, Susan/Thessaly, pragmatism and a lack of fear

"You're really doing well?" Sandra asked, frowning slightly; he did look well, but Ryan had grown to be quite good at concealing his troubles from her - particularly when there was such a distance between them.

"I'm fine, Mom!" Ryan insisted again, smiling at her and rubbing idly down Molly's back beside her crest. "Everything's-" he broke off with a laugh, and she leaned closer to the video screen. "Everything's coming up roses." he said with a playful grin that convinced Sandra, but also made her curious.

From:

whynot

Narnia/Sandman, Rose Walker & Lucy, the other hands that draw the world

From:

Narnia, Edmund/Susan, I would kill for you again

From:

vialethe

“I’d have killed her myself, to get you back,” she confesses to him once, panted out against the heat of his skin as she sits in his lap, nails scoring his shoulders, everything in his world narrowing down to the point where she grinds against him. “You know that, don’t you?”

I wouldn’t have deserved it, feels too raw, he thinks, shuddering from passion, from fear, imagining Susan, wild eyed and mad, coated in the blood of a witch, and she might have said the same about you, darling, seems inappropriate, sunk deep inside her, nearly lost to the moment; instead he manages the closest thing to the truth, and says only, “I do.”

From:

whynot

SHE MIGHT HAVE SAID THE SAME oh mannnnn. Jadis-haunted!Edmund is still a fave of mine, ok. And I am reminded of how I adore feral violent Susan :3

yayyyyyyy

From:

vialethe

I do in fact know that and that is of course exactly why I wrote the whole thing around her!! I took lessons in causing pain from betsy.

From:

LEARNING FROM THE MASTER

From:

be_themoon

LAS I'M A NICE PERSON lethe is terrible by herself

i'm a very nice person

From:

be_themoon

no??? i'm a nice person??????

From:

vialethe

you ARE and yet you are also an expert as causing pain.

a person can be many things at once you know.

From:

be_themoon

okay this is in fact so wonderfully awful and hot and awful, well done, and also he can't even find the right way to answer that isn't just he knows, even if he doesn't want to know and doesn't her to ever even think about it

ughhhh

From:

vialethe

Ed's feelings about Jadis are VERY COMPLICATED okay and he loves Susan so much for saying that but also hates her for it just a little bit and honestly i think that's very brave and hot of him.

From:

ravenlilyrose

Star Wars, disaster lineage, Anakin never moved out after he was knighted and now Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka have to share when they're all back in the temple

From:

demigodscum

"You can't be serious," Ahsoka says, staring with horror at the two single beds crammed side-by-side into Anakin's room, which barely has space for one bed.

Anakin huffs, crossing his arms with a shrug and a pointed look her way, and says, "It's either this or you sleep on the sofa. It's not my fault that Yoda didn't give me advance notice I was getting a padawan, and unless you want to be the one to submit a room reassignment request and pack all of your stuff and all of my stuff and move it before we have to ship out again in two days —"

"Fine! Fine, whatever, but if you snore, I won't be responsible for what I do in the middle of the night to make you shut up."

From:

ravenlilyrose

I love this!

From:

demigodscum

Yay!

From:

ceruleantactician

Lol, the difficulties of wartime logistics! I'm sure they'll work it out eventually. This was great!

From:

demigodscum

Poor them, this is not what they were trained for. Thanks!

From:

vialethe

The list of things she could do is endless, truly. That seems like the kind of thing Anakin would totally forget about, lol.

From:

demigodscum

Oh, so very many things...

From:

elementalraven

hahaha, this is great XD!

From:

demigodscum

Hee thank you :D

From:

From:

“Dad searched and offered rewards for years after everyone else gave up, he still claims Mom might be alive, he wouldn’t sell this land even if it burned to ash because of her memory. Come on Caitlin, what possessed that lovely mind of your’s?”

It was cold comfort to hear such a compliment when she was certain he would never speak to her again.

State park AU begun over at this thread.

priama

“Masterfully done, Zaraki Kenpachi… My work here is done...”

The memory turns his laughter into a bitter shudder and his grin into a strained grimace; his chest always, always tightens afterwards.

Unohana had been cruel to use her last breath to say his name to his face.

From:

dawen

any, any, growing the family

From:

ravenlilyrose

After the sixth tiny, force-sensitive child Din brings to him, Luke despairs of ever convincing Din that maybe every single unattended child you meet doesn't need to be adopted (which is really a difficult argument to have, since Luke genuinely agrees that in all six situations, Din had been justified in removing the child). It's what he gets for agreeing to train (co-parent) the first child and then becoming best friends with a Mandalorian, for whom adoption is apparently an imperative instilled in their very being. As he watches his strange little family grow, he does wonder why Din keeps bringing the kids to him before remembering when he used to tell his Aunt Beru that he wanted to have a lot of kids when he grew up but didn't ever want to get married and how he may have told Din that story a few months after they met (when Grogu was still an only child) and his heart swells with love for his best friend.

From:

dawen

-gasps softly- platonic coparenting!!! aroace Luke? -eyes emoji- very nice!

From:

theseatheseatheopensea

Awwwww <3

From:

ceruleantactician

Oh, this is adorable! I love the idea of Din continuing on his adoption spree and him and Luke co-parenting.

From:

elementalraven

this is lovely!

From:

chikita

"Hey, Shou, if mom decided to adopt Tobio-kun, would that make us siblings?", Natsu asked through a mouthful of noodles as the two of them sat at the dinner table, her question resulting in a groan from her brother's side.

"You've asked that about Kenma and Yachi too, you can't just adopt people who already have a family; that's illegal."

"Not fair," she grumbled, already making plans to get around that law somehow because it made no sense to her at all.

From:

dawen

ah, well, unofficial adoption it shall have to be...

From:

kalira

"Dare I ask what Anija is doing out there?" Tobirama asked as he seated himself opposite Mito, already pouring tea; Hashirama had not even noticed him walking up, occupied with his trees.

Mito sighed expressively, flicking a few grains of salt into her own teacup; Tobirama restrained the reflexive grimace easily and simply spared a moment of gratitude that Mito no longer insisted on making the entire pot of tea in the Uzushio style.

"He loves his little orchard like his babies," Mito said dryly, and Tobirama snorted; he was familiar with that, "after some discussion of how we won't be having another child," her lips twisted for a moment, her eyes flashing; Tobirama knew she hadn't necessarily wanted more children desperately, but making a choice and having a boundary imposed on one were quite different, "I told him to try budding one off his children out there . . . and I believe he's now actually trying." she said, flicking a glance that way, and Tobirama had a horrible feeling of foreboding, knowing how wild mokuton was, with a very life of its own unlike all other chakra natures. . .

From:

dawen

Hashi no. X'D I guess that's one way to have another kid!

From:

kalira

Mito gave him tacit permission! Even suggested it herself! (Of course, you'd think after years with Tobi, Hashi might recognise shut up/leave me alone sort of responses against serious suggestions, but then again . . . I think he chooses to understand things however he pleases, really. XP)

. . .I do wonder how she'll feel about it if he's successful, though. . .

When Bruce brought Dick in, Alfred was wary; with Jason, he was cautiously hopeful Bruce was beginning to heal. With Tim and Cass, the emotions changed quickly to alarm then resignation. By the time there was Damian and Duke - not to mention Babs, Steph, Harper and Cullen, Alfred realized he should have seen the signs that this wasn’t necessarily Bruce healing but another coping measure, one he couldn’t mind because it banished the terrible quiet of the mansion.

From:

dawen

whoooops, not healing after all... XP

From:

rustedeaglewings

Nope, not at all.

From:

silveradept

Even though it's the place where most of the terror originated from, the mansion is also the only place big enough and able to hold all of them so they can help each other finally let go of all the fear and trauma. Eventually, some of them move away to their own places, but they are always welcomed back when they're in the city. Adrien always wanted to have an extensive family, but it takes him discarding the one he started with and growing his own before he finally achieves it.

demigodscum

"It was foretold that you would be here," he says, and his mind flashes with the visions he's been having for years while floating in bacta, biding his time.

Her eyes follow his deliberate path to her unwaveringly, alert precisely as though she were hunting him or being hunted by him, but he makes no attempt to prepare or brace for an attack.

The only move of his hand is to extend it toward her as he did once many years ago, her beads in his palm back then and now his powered-down saber, his voice crackling with a rush of fulfillment when he says, "Hello again, Padawan."

From:

Corin dropped his saber with a clatter and heaved a sigh, leaning back against the wall of the training hall as he grumbled, “Why can’t I simply box my enemies? It’s much faster than learning all of this rot.”

“Because your brother will become king, and he will need knights to protect him, and his knights must be able to defend themselves with whatever weapon is at hand, and”—she pinned him lightly against the wall with her saber, knowing he would quip that his fists were always at hand—“fists are no use in a sword fight, if you value having your hands attached to your arms,” she finished, lowering her saber.

“Now I, if not you, do intend to become a knight, so you will kindly practice with me even if you see no benefit in it for yourself,” she said, rapping him on the shoulder with the flat of her blade, "so practice the movement with me again."

Don't mind me filling all of your Aravis prompts. They're just too good.

From:

elementalraven

(I definitely do not mind at all, this is a delight!) Love this, Aravis wanted to become a knight to protect Cor, sparring with Corin and winning, amazing!

From:

arveldis

Yay! These were so fun to write! You always have the most creative prompts! Knight!Aravis is absolutely inspired and such a fun idea to play with.

From:

vialethe

Ha, I love this! School him good, Aravis, it's what he deserves.

From:

arveldis

“Lasaraleen, we are here to spy, not to seek husbands,” Aravis hissed, swatting at her friend, who had lowered her eyelashes at a young Tarkaan, who watched them with interest and looked to be on the verge of making his way over to them.

“But, darling, I can get information from him,” Lasaraleen protested, looking back at the Tarkaan as Aravis hauled her behind a column flanked with potted palms; frowning at Aravis, she said, “He wouldn’t be able to resist me; I even put on my special jasmine and lotus oil—the one I bought at the bazaar in Mezreel, you know; the bazaar there isn’t half so large as Tashbaan’s, but its oils and perfumes are positively unmatched—”

“Las,” Aravis said, grabbing her friend’s shoulders, “this is dreadfully important; we must get near the Tisroc and listen to his conversation, and we must not be seen doing so; and you must help me do it because you know the palace better than I do,” she said seriously, and with Lasaraleen’s sigh and resigned nod, they crept closer to the dais on which stood the Tisroc’s grand tent.

From:

elementalraven

oohhh love the idea of Aravis and Lasaraleen spying together!

From:

arveldis

Thanks! <3

From:

vialethe

Your Lasaraleen is too cute, with her chatter about markets and perfumes! Her scents alone will get them caught, if they're not careful.

From:

arveldis

Lasaraleen is so much fun to write! I can’t believe I’ve never tried my hand at writing her before. Aravis might need to think twice before enlisting her to spy again, though! 😉

From:

nasimwrites

While all others see insolence and unlikability in the girl, Viyya Tarkheena sees potential. So she lets the young Tarkheena roam wild during her Tashbaan visits for longer than she would normally tolerate. She turns a blind eye to the girl's sword practice, introduces her to key families, and invites her to pour over collections of old tapestries -- even those with histories the Tisroc (may he live forever) would prefer remain hidden away.

"One day," she whispers, "you will hold the nation in the palm of your hand. And it's best you know how to wield it."

From:

elementalraven

Yesss!!! Love this! I love how Viyya subtly teaches Aravis the things she needs to know while also letting her be herself

From:

Viyya yessssssssssss. Love her, love her insight, love the potential she sees in Aravis from the start.

Aravis wiped her slender blade against the dark fabric of her trousers, smiling as she bent over the crumpled form of Ahoshta Tarkaan; leaning in, she whispered into his ear, “Now you will never force yourself upon a young girl again, Ahoshta,” and she pulled down the front of her veil to reveal herself to him.

His eyes widened, and Aravis placed her finger over his lips, adding, “Calling for help would be unwise; there is nothing that can now be done for you, and Tash, may he curse you eternally and darken your eyes forever, does not look kindly upon cowards and cravens, nor do I,” she warned, “so if you would like for your death to not become any more painful, you will not make a sound.”

She rose, watching as death took its hold of him, and as she turned to leave, she heard the soft tinkling of bracelets, and she saw in the shadows, half-hidden behind the curtains, the wide eyes of Ahoshta’s young wife; Aravis nodded to her, whispering, “Go now; you are free of him,” and the girl vanished in a rustle of silk, and Aravis replaced her veil and melted into the shadows.
