2023 Three Sentence Ficathon - Post #1

[3sfmod]

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.

[vialethe]

Ooooh, that's a good way to take Ahsoka's departure, that he's jealous she was able to when he's known it was what he should have done for ages. If only you'd just followed her, Anakin!!

yay you took the bait!

Re: (All Creatures Great and Small 1978, Helen)

[ceruleantactician]

Lol, this is very cute!

[vialethe]

Didn't it seem to matter more?? OW. A mortal wound.

The face-touching! The fact that he's the one putting it all into motion on her behalf! The pain.

[demigodscum]

Ah, parallels my beloved. I'm glad you enjoy this!

Re: Fill

[ceruleantactician]

Oh, poor Lucretia.

Re: I think this qualifies as suicidal ideation. You good Lucretia?

[ceruleantactician]

Oh, Lucretia. This is devastating. :(

[vialethe]

Awww, Susan. It's so sad that she wants her siblings still around when she's looking at her children! And thinking of their lost friends and responsibilities once they were stuck back as kids is also just heartbreaking.

Re: Star Wars, Han & Luke

[ceruleantactician]

This is great, very in-character for both of them. I especially like this line: the Force did not seem to like Han very much. Honestly he's probably not wrong!

Re: Knives Out/Glass Onion

[ceruleantactician]

Lol, this is very cute!

[ceruleantactician]

Oh, poor Leia. :(

[ceruleantactician]

Oh, I love this look at the twins and their importance.

Re: Inheritance (Star Wars, Ben/Rey)

[ceruleantactician]

This is beautiful, Rey's love for Ben really shines through here. I love seeing the contrast between how their interpret their respective family legacies.

[ceruleantactician]

Oh, this is lovely. I love the acknowledgement that there is no way to completely atone for what he's done, but that taking responsibility for his past actions and trying to do the right thing is still crucial.

[arveldis]

Thank you! ❤︎

Ride The Cyclone (Jane Doe)

[(Anonymous)]

It's (probably) not her birthday, and she (probably) doesn't know any of the other members of the choir she (probably) belongs to, but she also (probably) won't have another one, so she smiles, listens to their song, blows out the candles. How many times have they sang together, how many harmonies have they practiced until their throats hurt, their doctors put them on rest? All of that gone, from all of their futures, and from Jane's past, lost to the world, on her birthday of all days.

[ceruleantactician]

This is adorable and I love it. <3

[arveldis]

Oh, I love that comparison! Thank you!

[arveldis]

Thank you! ❤︎

[arveldis]

Thank you so much! ❤︎

Re: Young!Jadis and her sister travel to Narnia in its Final Days as a Magician's Nephew swap

[slowmercury]

I can't help but suspect Jadis is biting off more than she can chew, here. I guess I wish her luck, if Narnia's dying anyway?

Star Wars Prequels, Padmé/Anakin

[ceruleantactician]

When she looks back at their relationship, it’s a thousand different things that doomed it: how quickly they had decided to get married, having to lie to her family and friends, the frequent separations caused by their respective duties, how quick he was to violence (she remembered Rush, bloody and beaten), and a secret left buried in the sands of Tatooine that Padmé can hardly even let herself think about.

But it happened, and one day hearing Anakin was coming home early from the front brought dread to her heart instead of a smile to her face, when the force of his love for her feels suffocating instead of comforting.

A part of her will always love him—she can’t change that—but the next time she sees him, she forces herself to ignore his pleas and his tears and tells him that she wants a divorce.

Re: Fill (double fill) Harry Sullivan/Sarah Jane Smith

[ceruleantactician]

Ah, this is adorable and I'm accepting it as canon. I love it!

Re: Sailor Moon, Minako

[alexseanchai]

💗💐😿

Re: The Locked Tomb - John

[hamsterwoman]

Ahaha love this choice of character for the prompt XD

Re: Doctor Who, unspecified US companion

[ceruleantactician]

Lol! At least they'll be getting a decent breakfast.
