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.

Re: Star Wars, Obi-Wan/Padme/Anakin

[lyssie]

Bwaha. Good for her, cutting through all of the red tape of which way is best is probably a long-honed skill.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines (Nine Worlds)

"This is, without a doubt, the darkest timeline that has ever, will ever, and could ever exist," Fitzroy announced as he burst out of the tent (much larger on the inside, courtesy of some highly experimental magic) where the rest of the Red Company were taking their ease after a filling lunch.

Jullanar counted to ten, then uncricked her neck and glanced up from the ethnographic and cartographic study of southern Colhélhé that she had bargained fiercely for in a small market stall just that morning. Fitzroy looked slightly put-out at her delay in giving him her full attention, but neither calm enough nor wild enough for this to truly be serious, and so she merely raised one eyebrow and said, leadingly, "Oh?"

"Yes, because Pali ate the last of your gingersnaps and laughed at me for being too slow to claim it," Fitzroy said, and flung himself down on the grass to rest his head in Jullanar's lap like an oversized cat -- or perhaps like a younger brother asking for comfort without yet knowing how to vocalize his needs.

Jullanar wondered if he would ever tell them the truth about his childhood, and what he had been doing before he fell out of the sky and into that rowboat between her and Damian. She was fairly sure it couldn't have been anything pleasant, not with the way he sometimes treated normal human interaction like a vast, intricate puzzle constructed by intelligences as foreign as, say, termites.

She was equally certain that mentioning her concerns wouldn't help anything.

"I'll bake some more gingersnaps after I finish my chapter," she said, "if, and only if, you hold very still and let me use you as a bookrest. I think that's a reasonable bargain."

"Deal," Fitzroy said instantly, and closed his eyes. Soon thereafter he drifted off to sleep, and Jullanar allowed herself the small pleasure of combing her fingers gently through the wild curls and squiggles of his hair.

She read three chapters rather than disturb him before he woke on his own.

Exxxxxxxcellent. I'm always a fan of not-quite-human Pevensies.

Augh! Edmund is so sure oh himself, he almost has only himself to blame.

House of Dragons Daemon/Rhaenyra: Inevitable

[grey_wonderer]

“Let them stare,” Rhaenyra said, her lips barely moving and her voice low as she and Daemon entered the castle surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
“I find it exhilarating, my Queen,” he said giving her hand a little squeeze. “We are Targaryens and Targaryens always draw the attention of mere mortals because you and I are blood and we belong together in a way that others must find exciting and a little terrifying because of our combined power.”

Re: Narnia, Susan & Edmund

[scytale]

Cute! :D

Re: BTS, Min Yoongi, That photoshoot

[celli]

LOVELY

(Nine/Rose)

[lurking_latinist]

“Suits you, that color,” the Doctor comments one morning, when Rose debuts a new top.

“I thought you hated orange,” she says, surprised; “you convinced me to buy that blue jumper instead of the orange one, last week.”

“Who said anything about orange—that blouse is bright varnob in the infrared spectrum!”

"I thought the twist was a little contrived," Belle admits. "The victim just happened to have an identical twin sister who no one thought to mention before now? That's a violation of Knox' tenth law."

"On the contrary!" Blanc fumes. "Plenty of famous people have siblings who their admirers and hangers-on might not care for. She never let the success got to her head and stayed close to her birth family; that can be admirable."

Belle rolls her eyes. She'd thought that reading detective novels with a real-life detective would be fun, but then again, that was what his video game friends had thought too.

"We'll read a Harlan Thornbey book next time," Blanc promises. "Oh, and Marta wants to talk to your staff. Make sure they're being treated fairly and standing up for their rights."

"That's fine," says Belle. The castle employees had been better about growing a spine since they'd, well, regrown their spines.

Re: Well, Lucy's not wrong

[scytale]

AMAZING.

This rocks. :D

[scytale]

The tour of weapons and reactions here is great :D

Torchwood - Rhys, Gwen (S2 Spoilers)

[lyssie]

He's bloody used to this, her coming in at all hours and all sorts. But she's leaning against the door, eyes closed, and she is soaked in what he can see is a lot of blood, "Christ, Gwen, we've got to get you to hospital!"

"It's--it's not mine," she says, eyes still closed before her knees seem to buckle and she slides down the door, gasping for breath that is escaping too fast, and her voice breaks as she gasps out, "it's--oh, God--it's Tosh's."

[be_themoon]

one day i'll do the expanded version

[kalira]

any, any, if this is the end // kiss me

Funeral Song - Mono Inc.

Re: Waste Not, Want Not (Original universe/characters) Took a tiny bit of liberty but loved this pro

[whynot]

He just wanted a refreshing drink xD

Re: Naruto, Sakura, infiltration gone wrong

[scytale]

Ahahaha, I love the cataloguing of weapons and yep, the list was incomplete!

[lyssie]

I'm almost terrified of the image of Lucy shooting the witch point-blank, or from a slight distance. =D

[galadryels]

Lucifer, Maze, Nice is different than Good

Re: “I got a rock,” says Charlie Brown

[lyssie]

LOL!

Re: Well, Lucy's not wrong

Mwahaah

Re: hello again! o/

[arveldis]

Hello! I was hoping you'd see these! ^^

This is such a good fill! "But what Inej doesn’t understand is that she’s already reached him. She’s docked at his harbour, anchored so deep into the ocean bed of his waters that even if she was to leave, he’d still feel the imprint of her weight no matter how far she sailed." Ahhh!! It's perfect. I also love, love, love the inversion of the brick by brick line from the book.
