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.

Comments

Stardew Valley, Junimos

[raisedbymoogles]

(premise for next game after he gets done with Haunted Chocolatier? >_>)

The Junimo didn't understand what they'd found at first; just hid under the structures when it rained or when the Wizard flew overhead, and otherwise went about their business as usual. Then a couple of human hikers stumbled across their home one day, spent an hour exclaiming and taking pictures, and went away again, and the Junimo learned a whole new vocabulary for what they had discovered.

Time and work and forest magic got the merry-go-round working again, the weather-worn painted horses bedecked in flowering vines; the concession stand was piled high with acorns and mushrooms and other delicious things; the bumper cars and the pendulum ride would take more work, but perhaps with the help of a nice human friend or two, the Junimo could make them work too!

Bat Family (Batman), Jason & Tim, "You found it on the ground, okay? You found it on the ground."

[rustedeaglewings]

If Jason hadn’t been riding sleep deprivation from a too long stakeout with his most annoying brother - Nightwing, of course - he wouldn’t have responded to Tim’s request to see his gun with a shrug and handed over his primary weapon.

The sound of the gunshot started sense into him and he turned to find Tim looking at the just fired weapon with contemplation, ignoring the now shattered Batcomputer beside him, for the bullet had hit a stalactite, bounced off the giant penny and landed straight into multimillion dollar equipment.

Jason pales and immediately began reviewing what favours he could cash in to Oracle so she’d remove the video tape evidence and backed away, muttering under his breath as he left, “this isn’t my fault, you found it on the ground…”

Anne/Gilbert

[lyssie]

It was something Anne had been pleased to discover delight in, those moments when she and Gilbert were twined round each other so tightly that nothing could come between them, their skin slick and flushed with pleasure. As though they were briar and woodbine, grown far too quickly and lost forever to separation. The rush of joy eclipses her thoughts until there's no thought for anything but the pulse of life between them.

Bat Family (Batman), Jason, this shit, I'm out.

[rustedeaglewings]

The silence should have alerted Jason to something being afoot, the manor was never quiet when more than two family members were home, and everyone should be home considering he had been invited for Sunday Brunch.

He tread cautiously to the kitchen and had only poked his head around the corner when something hit him in the back, and the spatter was obviously one of those washable paintballs Dick had commissioned so Alfred wouldn’t get angry every time they had a paintball tournament.

Looking back at the grinning face of Steph, Jason decided he was not mentally equipped to deal with this today and turned to head back out the door he came from.

Re: Doctor Who, The Centurion and Amelia Pond, Reboot The Universe

[ceruleantactician]

Oh, poor Rory. I love his neverending dedication to Amy.

Kingdom Hearts/Silent Hill 2

[shamanicshaymin]

"I'm looking for my wife," James Sunderland said. "I got a letter from her saying she would be here."

"I'm looking for someone here too. I have to find Riku... and Kairi..." Sora gave the sullen man a reassuring grin. "Don't you worry, if we stay together, we're sure to find your wife! Safety in numbers, you know?"

"It's just... strange," James replied. "My wife died years ago, but this letter is unmistakably hers. I don't understand it."

"Why would you be looking for your wife if she's already dead?" Donald looked at James skeptically.

"Shhh! Do you hear something?" Goofy raised his shield. The four became deathly still as the screech of a gigantic blade grated the rusty metal floor.

Mawaru Penguindrum, Himari + Double H

[shamanicshaymin]

Himari was proud of her friends for fulfilling their dream, but she'd be lying to herself if she didn't wish she was on stage with them. That's what happens when you somehow cheat death - you see the world that might have been but will never be. The yearning to be with loved ones, only to break their hearts over and over as they fight to keep you alive... to Himari, their pain hurt more than her own death ever would.

[be_themoon]

Legion lies there on the ground, his sacrifice the same she would have made for her people, and Tali halts as everyone else starts talking about their next move.

"Do we... bury him?" she asks, glances at the Primes, and for a moment she can see what Legion gave them, in the slight whir and the tilt down, can see that Legion didn't die for nothing, that he died here for something that will go on forever.

"Affirmative, Tali'zorah vas Rannoch - but I - I think we would prefer to do it ourselves."

Tali takes the step forward to bridge that last final gulf between them all, holds up her handful of dirt.

"Of course it should be you. But I would like to be there, and I would like him to be buried here, on Rannoch, our home."

Re: Bat Family (Batman), Tim, hey brother, do you still believe in one anotheR

[be_themoon]

damn i need to actually read the full red robin comics at some point, i read the first ones and enjoyed them and then fell off but it seems like it only got worse and i mean, that's my JAM

and clearly yours too, because this made me deeply sad for him and oh dick, always saving his million adopted siblings, and they have so many problems forever

Re: TGCF, He Xuan/Shi Qingxuan [spoilers]

[marquisguyun]

Oh damn this was good 👀

Re: TCGF, Hua Cheng/Xie Lian

[marquisguyun]

Oh my god, thank you for writing this!! The prompt definitely made me think of Wu Ming 😭💜

The Worst Moment I Could Think of to Interrupt with Time Travel

[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."

Re: The Worst Moment I Could Think of to Interrupt with Time Travel

[ravenlilyrose]

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

Harry Potter, Hermione/Draco

[arveldis]

“We’ve only got a few moments, and Harry told me that there’s been a slight change to the plan,” Hermione said in a rush, pulling Draco behind a corner into the shadows to deliver the new instructions, but he interrupted her before she could continue, his heart hammering in his chest with a mixture of fear, adrenaline, and a desperate longing for the witch who stood in front of him, beautiful and brave and bent on victory despite all the odds levelled against them: “Kiss me,” he said; it was the only thing that made sense and the only thought in his mind, despite all that waited for them.

Hermione blinked, and he said it again, feeling as if no moment mattered more than this one: “If this is the end, Hermione, then please—”

She caught his face in her hands and drew his face down to hers, her lips warm against his and every bit as desperate as he felt as she kissed him fiercely, pressing her body against his and sliding her hands into his hair; the world shrank to the wall pressed against his back, the heat of their mouths moving against each other, the warmth of her body through her shirt as he held her waist—and for the moment, it was all he needed.

Wherever We're Together (That's My Home), Elementary, Sherlock/Joan

[topaz_eyes]

When Sherlock tells Joan he will stay, despite her predicted protests he hugs her, truly embraces her for the first time since they met all those years ago, in hopes that it will get his message across loud and clear: You are my home, Watson.

From the way she returns it, he knows it is not only received, but reciprocated.

You are my home too.

Harry Potter, Hermione/Draco

[arveldis]

The lean line of Draco’s body pressed against Hermione's back as she braced herself against the wall, his hands wrapped around her wrists and his lips hot upon her neck as he bit and kissed down to the crook of her neck and across the line of her shoulder; she tilted her head back onto his shoulder, unable to stifle the gasp he drew from her as he bit hard enough to leave a mark, then laved it with his tongue.

Draco's hands slid up her arms, then fell to the buttons of her shirt, undoing them deftly, and slipped beneath the fabric, stroking her stomach and brushing beneath the curves of her breasts in slow, agonizing sweeps that made the heat building within her reach an aching fervor as he whispered into her ear, “Can anyone else undo you like this?”

“No,” Hermione gasped as his palms cupped her breasts and his thumbs skimmed over her sensitive, burning skin, tracing circles until he pinched, the movement sending a sharp spike of desire racing through her as she shuddered against him and said, breathless and trembling in his arms, “No, no one can.”

Original fic, fantasy horror

[eerian_sadow]

“Uh,” She held the container out at arms length, still grossed out by the contents but getting more desperate by the hour. “They told me that if I brought you three squirrel brains, you’d give me directions to the lich’s keep.”

The zombie’s rotting flesh split into something that might have been a smile and it rasped out, “Oh, you thoughtful child! Squirrels are my favorite!”

Transformers, Jazz/Soundwave, g1ish, rated T

[eerian_sadow]

Jazz watched as his (FriendLoverBelovedSparkmate) former partner lifted his weapon and shot down one of the Autobot snipers up in the nest. Then he turned away before he could watch it happen again; hopefully Ratchet or one of the other medics wuld be close enough to save them while he slinked behind enemy lines looking for the actual unit commander.

The betrayal he and Soundwave had enacted between each other would have to wait for another day, because Prowl was right that eliminating Onslaught was more important right now.

Transformers, Mirage/First Aid, g1-ish, rated g

[eerian_sadow]

“Everything packed?” Mirage rested a hand on his partner’s roof, going through his inventory checklist one last time and trusting that First Aid was doing the same.

“Everything on the list and that extra tent Wheeljack insisted on.” There was a fondness in the younger mech’s voice at the way his creator fussed.

“Excellent.” Mirage stepped back and transformed, revving his engine softly with eagerness to get away from the Ark and the rest of the Protectobots and have some private time with his lover. “Let us be off, then. If we hurry, we can be in Seattle before the storm breaks.”

“And if not, we’ll camp out and enjoy the rain together.” First Aid gave his engine a matching rev, and then pulled away from the base. Mirage laughed with delight as he peeled out in a cloud of dust in order to follow.

[eerian_sadow]

(this ficlet has the distinction of being my first ever Ghostbusters fanfic, despite being in love with the series since I was a wee child.)

“You haven’t left this room in three days, so I brought you back a pastrami on rye when i went to the deli.” Janine set a bag down next to the Latin translation guide, careful not to cover any papers, pages or diagrams doodled on the tabletop.

Egon’s stomach growled loudly a moment later, and he wondered how she had known he would need to eat now. “Thank you, Janine. That was thoughtful of you.”

“Well, someone around here has to be.” She smiled and held up a matching bag. “You want some company while you eat?”

Normally, he wouldn’t, but he was starting to get a headache from staring at the text for too long and he needed a break anyway. “Yes, please. But we should move to Venkman’s desk for safety.”

“Yeah, I’d hate to accidentally wake up some ancient demon or something because one of us dripped mayonnaise.” She nodded and reached for one of the spare chairs to drag over to their colleague’s desk.

[archersangel]

this is a nice, little scene.

[eerian_sadow]

thank you!
