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: Adventure (Arda; Éowyn & Éomer)

[vialethe]

Awww, this is so cute! I love the little pair of them.

[intrikate88]

The Owl House, Eda/Raine, threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now

Re: The Planeteers, The Kick-Your-Ass Protocol

[silveradept]

Thankyou, thankyou.

Re: Third Eye

[vialethe]

Ah, that explains everything!! Well, almost, at least.

What I Wouldn't Do

[word_devourer]

"You also can't move mountains for yourself."

Averted eyes.

That's the point; focus on what you can't do so that you don't have to admit what you'd be willing to try.

[vialethe]

LOL, Tash intends to sit his feathery butt in his beautiful temple and not move out of it, thanks very much!!

I nominate Reep for god of Narnia, myself.

[vialethe]

Lucy the lioness!! Of course that's the way it would be.

the untamed, Jiang sibs, family

[(Anonymous)]

It was most obvious to Wei Wuxian when Shijie made pork rib and lotus soup for him and Jiang Cheng after one of their - not fights, exactly, but not-not fights, either.

She would make the soup, go to them individually, clean up any cuts or scrapes or bruises, dry any tears, then gently cajole them into the same pavilion overlooking the blooming lotus blossoms or the sunset or the stars, and she would feed them.

Food, for Wei Ying, meant safety; pork rib and lotus soup, though, that meant love - it meant family.

[rustedeaglewings]

By only traumatizing the people you’re mad at?

Re: i mean you knew i was gonna right

[vialethe]

Oh, poor darling!

XCOM (2) - Anyway, here's how you can complete the campaign before the end of the first month.

[word_devourer]

"And thus, at last, you have returned to us, Commander," comes the thrumming, psionic voice of the Elder, "as we knew you would, sooner or later."

"I was always going to end up here sooner or later," he says, drily.

"Excellent work, 47," says Diana, as the ethereal, otherworldly alien demonstrates a very earthly vulnerability to a bullet through the skull, "the money has been wired to your account."

Re: Narnia, Edmund/ Susan, “drinking the Folgers”

[rustedeaglewings]

This is 100% Winged’s fault.

Re: Narnia, Susan & Edmund

[vialethe]

LOL I love it! Susan's gentle reprimand is perfect.

[ravenlilyrose]

Grogu whined from where he was buried in a nest of blankets and pillows and every other vaguely soft and warm thing Din could find.
"I know, ad'ika, I'll go get you something more to drink," he offered and ran a gloved hand over the kid's head.
He wanted to give him something to help with the fever, but he had no idea what species the kid was and didn't want to accidentally poison him while trying to help; they'd just have to wait for the fever to break the old-fashioned way.

[vialethe]

A lifelong bruise!! Damn, that's a good line.

implied violent sexy times

[(Anonymous)]

Peter breaks his nose and Caspian sprains an elbow during the struggle for dominance. Afterwards, Peter will claim he had the upper hand, Caspian calls him on the lie which results in another round and Peter falling out of bed.

They're both limping the next morning; Lucy and Susan look expectantly at Edmund, who passes over coins to both.

[rustedeaglewings]

There is a crowd around 3SF’s fallen friend, yelling angry cries about how AO3 is letting letting everyone down.

3SF wants to rush in, cradle their friend in their arms and protect them from all the harsh words until AO3 stands up again.

It’s not to be, and 3SF draws the attention of the disgruntled crowd to themselves to allows AO3 time to pull themselves together once again.

Narnia, Jadis+Pevensies

[last_haven]

"And you say," Jadis pauses and really must resist the urge to rub her temples because that is beneath her, but damn if she doesn't have a headache. "You say that this--your version of the Lion sent you here to help me?"

"Well," the oldest girl speaks after a shared look between all the siblings. "It's more like he sent us because if we came, then it would trick your version of Aslan into think this world's version of us had come."

"And if we're here, then the evil versions of us won't be summoned to fight you!" the youngest girl adds succinctly.

Mm. Yes, still baffling, but maybe she could work with this--but still, how could she honestly trust these... interlopers? Her people stand at the brink of defeat and the Lion claws at her domain with his army of demons at his heels. Her powers and her winter are all that holds him at bay, but now she is to assume that four children will be enough to save her adopted realm? "I am to believe that your Lion is doing it out of the goodness of his heart? Why save another world's Narnia?"

Three of the children look nervous, but it is the youngest boy who looks at her, ice in his gaze as strong as her own magic. "It's not that we're here to save you. We are here to stop the False Aslan before he causes trouble in our Narnia."

"Edmund!" the oldest boy scolds, but Jadis sits back in her chair and thinks.

Ah, of course. It's not just charity or goodwill; this is a matter of pride and pragmatism. Now, that she could believe out of a supposedly good counterpart to the demon that prowls her land.

At last, she admits defeat. "Well then. I believe that working together is to our mutual benefit." Her smile is grim as she offers her hand to seal the deal. "Come then, children. Today, we hunt lions."

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

[vialethe]

A JEDI COLLECTION. Get it, Padme.

Anyway, I love that she's the one who solves the problem in the end, too. That's my girl.

Re: Diego Hargreeves x the Addams Family

[vialethe]

So many knives!! I'm dying. Pitch perfect Gomez, and of course Diego doesn't get it but goes with the flow.

Re: A Kiss For Good Luck (Elementary, Joan Watson / & Sherlock Holmes)

[(Anonymous)]

This is delightful! I'm giggling, because I could both hear Sherlock, I could also see his pause for processing expression.

[last_haven]

Utena, Juri/Shiori, something always brings me back to you/it never takes too long

[ravenlilyrose]

"Mina, darling, I have thought of one minor complication with our son's name."
"I believed you were fully satisfied with his bundle of names; has your opinion changed?"
"No, I still find myself quite satisfied, only I wonder what we might name a second child."

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

[word_devourer]

Sometimes, she wonders if it was a mistake inoculating herself against both voidfish; she could keep secrets from herself, she could... she...

She could forget herself entirely; despite her best efforts, she wasn't able to harden herself enough to make her friends forget everything, though she got damn close with Taako and... Davenport.

She wouldn't be so merciful with herself; she knows what it can do to lose memories that deeply held, and she knows, in the pit of her stomach, that she deserves no better.
