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.

Seven and Naomi, Science and Luck

[silveradept]

"This is a science vessel, Naomi Wildman," Seven said bluntly, "and concepts such as 'lucky numbers' have long since been disproven as the random noise of the universe."

"If there's no luck, then, how do I explain the good feelings I have that you're here and helping me?" Naomi said, confusion clearly written all over her face.

Seven stifled a sound of annoyance and once again tried to see Naomi's insatiable curiosity as the workings of a maturing and healthy human mind.

Killer Deranged Snow Goons?

[silveradept]

"Oh, hello!" Okay said brightly, taking in the bushes of the snow creatures engaged in either torturing or being rushed by their fellows. "Are all of you related to Marshmallow?"

As one, the cadre of snow people turned their heads to stare at Olaf, their faces wearing nearly the same aggressive visage.

Olaf's brain cells devoted to self-preservation flared to life, and he swiftly departed the yard, keeping the snow people in front of him until he felt safe enough to turn and run at top speed.

Talisman (Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song, Raphael/Constance/Albert, SFW)

[wallwalker]

Raphael hadn't ever doubted his feelings for Constance - he had loved her for years, fully and completely, and had known she felt the same, and he had every intention of being as good a husband to her as she deserved. He knew that she knew his heart, knew before he did that he had grown fond of the young noble warrior who had saved them both, that he had grown to love him as Eugen had loved Mirsa... and so he'd confessed it to her, having nothing to hide, hoping that she would understand that it would not diminish his love for her one iota. It was only later when he saw Albert in Mirsaburg that he truly understood - when he saw the good-luck charm that Constance had received from her mother resting around Albert's neck, a symbol of her fervent hope that Fate would bring him back to both of them.

Leverage, Parker/Eliot/Hardison, Wrong Precipitation

[mad_madam_m]

"I was promised a snowstorm." Parker pointed at the television. "The weatherperson promised me a snowstorm! For the past week!" She waved her hand at the window, where rain lashed the glass—stupid wet rain, which just made everything muddy and gray. "This is not a snowstorm!"

Hardison pulled her into a hug. "I know, babe. I'm sorry."

Parker burrowed into his soft sweater and continued to pout. "We should steal his weather license. He doesn't deserve it."

"Pretty sure the Channel 12 meteorologist doesn't actually control the weather, otherwise I'm sure he'd have made sure we got snow." Hardison rubbed her back. "Tell you what, why don't we go ask Eliot to make some hot chocolate? That always cheers you up."

She did like hot chocolate. "With peppermint and marshmallows?"

"All the marshmallows you can eat."

Parker grinned and kissed his cheek. "Well, it's not snow, but it's the next best thing."

NO I am not bitter about the lack of snow, why do you ask

Distractions (Final Fantasy XIV, Aymeric/Haurchefant/Estinien, SFW)

[wallwalker]

Estinien didn't have time for such relationships; he had promised himself he would spend his days training until he could gain Nidhogg's power for himself, and use it to put the dragon to death once and for all. He didn't want to be distracted by unimportant things.

That was his mistake, he would think later, seated between two of his fellow Knights in a secluded hot spring and reluctantly admitting that both Aymeric and Haurchefant were quite determined to be important to him, and that their determination was at least the equal of his.

Re: Distractions (Final Fantasy XIV, Aymeric/Haurchefant/Estinien, SFW)

[kalira]

*giggles* I am unfamiliar with the fandom, but what an excellent use of the prompt. XD

Re: Castlevania (Netflix), Trevor/Alucard, Sypha, Greta, Emotions Are Hard

[kalira]

Of course you had to! Considering I prompted it after posting a(nother) Castlevania fic tagged "Trevor "oh god no not a feeling" Belmont", I mean. . . I feel you. XD

Also, oh gods Trevor you disaster. X'D Poor Alucard. Well-deserved huffiness there. >.>

Re: Leverage, Parker/Eliot/Hardison, Wrong Precipitation

[kalira]

*eyes the grey, wet, cold, bleh outside* Parker is very mood. *huffpout*

This is very cute, though. ♡ Steal his weather license indeed. X'D

Re: Tiger & Bunny, Barnaby/Kotetsu, He Likes Plants

[kalira]

>.> Kotetsu, how could you? *tsks*

(Clearly they need a bigger house. Possibly with grounds and a greenhouse? >.>)

Re: Reverse Tank (Kingyou-hime; Keisuke/Kingyou-kun)

[kalira]

Fish has had a bit of a rough life, but the tank isn't so bad, no. XD And . . . now he lives in a tiny apartment with a disaster fuckboy of a boyfriend, but that appears to make him happy, so. . . *shrugs*

Re: Naruto Founders, Tobirama & Izuna & Hashirama

[kalira]

Well you can cut a liver in half pretty easily; definitely more easily than, you know, carving it (and the heart, even worse!) out manually. XD

Re: Queer as Folk, Brian/Justin

[severina]

hehehe Thanks!

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Entrapta and Scorpia as observed by Catra, Similarities

[silveradept]

She had to admit that when Entrapta and Scorpia were in the same space, they seemed to work together better than they did apart, even if what they were doing became twice as incomprehensible to everyone else around them.

"If I stare at them too long, their energy will be contagious," Catra said, to herself, "and that usually means I'm up half the night pacing and trying to plan enough that my brain revs down enough to sleep."

A thought appears in her head about how much Adora would also love this working environmen, and the associated feelings of longing and loss about Adora flared briefly before Catra squelched them and went to the training room to take apart same robots.

[silveradept]

Finding a game that was fair for both of them was a challenge. Seven was able to keep enough information about the state of the game to engage in optimal play, including being able to summon a specific dice roll when needed, which left Naomi at quite the disadvantage at most games, even with additional resources and advantage at the start.

"I think you'll like this one," Naomi said, holding up the recently acquired box, "although I have no idea why anyone would call a game 'Calvinball'."

this is more than three sentences long; the jabberwocky is a poem i have memorised for some reason

[eiriee]

‘Twas brillig, and the palmate feet
Did slap and plap upon the road;
Loud honking came out naturally,
The white goose braz'nly strode.

“Beware the horrible goose, my man!
The beak that bites, the wings that flap!
Beware that fucking bird, and shun
its pilfering ransack!"

He put his flatcap on his head:
For long within the garden moiled–
So, outwards hence, to sit on bench,
The gate open to his toil.

A moment of peace he thought he had,
But, klepto-beak, the white goose flew
Honking flaps up from soggy path,
Its bell-passion made anew!

One two! One two! And out and round
He chased it hard and it chased back!
Rake was plundered, he felt outnumbered
and even lost his snacks.

“What is up with this bloody bird?
I'm out of wits, I've smashed my thumb!
O curse'd day! Fuck you! Go 'way!”
He yelled, not having fun.

‘Twas brillig, and the palmate feet
Did slap and plap upon the road;
Loud honking came out naturally,
The white goose braz'nly strode.

Re: Fill, Untitled Goose Game, Boy With Glasses, Gardener

[eiriee]

I love this; this is a great line: "All frared was the glass-boy, all grumpling the grass-man."

Oh, very nice! :)

[elementalraven]

hahaha that would something!

Re: Silmarillion, Fingolfin & Fëanor

[arveldis]

I'm rereading The Silmarillion right now, and the tragedy of Fingolfin and Fëanor's relationship and the further tragedy that befalls Fingolfin for choosing to make amends, forgive Fëanor, and pledge to follow him again and again is so interesting to me, especially because Fingolfin's mind is largely hidden from readers, so we never know exactly why he chooses to do so (which I tried to preserve here).

Hmm...I think Finarfin could be either, really, but I'm leaning toward water because he always tries to smooth things over and calm tempers—he's the water (that tries to) to dampen Fëanor's flame and the current flowing around Fingolfin's stony stubbornness.

[elementalraven]

oohhh I love this! Helen's daughters will be queens! And Helen's advice is great

[elementalraven]

oohhhh amazing! I love how Frank just listed of all her skills and how he is humble enough to say all this to her, and also, I want to read this au

Re: Silmarillion, Nerdanel/Fëanor

[arveldis]

Nerdanel's story breaks my heart. She goes through so much pain because of Fëanor's choices. 💔
