threesentenceficathonWelcome 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.

Date: 2023-01-15 02:36 am (UTC)Surrounded by the stillness and filled with light, feeling the cord that’s grown between them grow stronger still, she sees that his eyes are the same deep blue as the sea that spreads around them, carpeted with lilies, and she can’t bring herself to look away.
He turns to her, and she feels the cord between them anchor itself and tighten as he smiles and takes her hand in his, and they stay there until the bright ribbons of sunset stretch across the horizon.

Date: 2023-01-15 02:37 am (UTC)"Nothing," the sea girl murmurs against her throat, sleepy from the sun beating down on them where they lay; she isn't used to this much sun, but she could learn to love it if it meant more of all this with Lucy.
"Nothing? That can't--are you sure?"
The girl sighs as sits up to frown at the confusion in Lucy's gaze. "My people set expeditions out in all directions in the past. To the west, they meet your lonely islands and have seen the shores of unending land. To the north and south, they have found great reefs and icebergs. But to the east? There is nothing. One group traveled east for three months and still found nothing. So, it is as I said. There is nothing because otherwise my people would have found it."
Lucy frowns, looking up at the blue heavens that stretch on into forever. "It's said that Aslan's father lives out here. The Emperor beyond the Sea. That's why Caspian has brought his people out here... are you sure there is nothing out there?"
"Nothing," she says, pauses, and then speaks again. "Except for a great sandbar, but it only appears for a few short hours. Your ship will run itself aground upon it." With a shrug, she flops back down against Lucy's shoulder. "If you are lucky, the high tide might push you free and then you will come back here. When that happens, you'll find me here. You'll see."
Lucy is quiet as her companion curls against her, and tries to think. Was Caspian's continued voyage really for nothing? What if there really was nothing out there? Reepicheep would be devastated, but what could be done? Should she tell the others, or let them find out for themselves on the off chance that maybe they would succeed where the sea people hadn't?
And why didn't she feel all that upset by the idea that they would just be coming right back this way shortly if what her companion said was right?

She won't be the Queen of Hearts, but the Queen of Roses.

Date: 2023-01-15 02:41 am (UTC)Dodger doesn’t follow Erin in the same way Rodger does.
Rodger hears Erin talk about thousands of different lives, thousands of different timelines, thousands of different disasters, and he follows each thread, each possibility, each lost world.
But Dodger takes it all in, after Rodger does, and she puts together the big picture, world upon world spinning as the numbers dance in her head, and finally, she knows the way to put it right.
Loving Hearts in the Hard Ground
Date: 2023-01-15 02:42 am (UTC)She sleeps there after a time, Solovey’s tail swishing as he keeps watch, and does not wake until the sound of hooves approaches, and with it a chill, and the gathering dark, sweeping over the little clearing in a blanket, the first flowers of frost shyly touching summer’s green.
“Did no one warn you of strange men who might happen upon an unwary girl in the woods?” Morozko asks her, slipping from the mare’s saddle, but Vasya only puts her tongue out at him, responding, “But I am not unwary, and you are not strange,” before stepping into the shadow of his arms.
