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.

'90s era Bond movies

[archersangel]

Bond came out of M's office and looked at Moneypenny for several moments.

It had been a couple of months since he had seen her, with one thing or another, and her hair was decidedly longer and darker.

"Getting back to your roots, are you Moneypenny?"

[sincereously]

Star Wars, Mara Jade, family

Re: Made to Measure

[demigodscum]

Ohhhhh fuck. Fuuuck I love that *entirely*. It's hot and delicious and a little angsty and all-around perfect. her mouth tasting of fire under his. *chef's kiss*.

[d_generate_girl]

House of the Dragon, any, all the people you made in your image/see them fighting in the street/cause they can't make opinions meet

[wintersday]

I love this, especially Ursula acting out of annoyance, or at least telling herself that’s what she’s doing.

[archersangel]

Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy, Discovering the ancient concept of fanfiction

[wintersday]

Oh, brrrr. That is beautifully creepy.

Re: Storm of Song (Little Mermaid; Ursula)

[wintersday]

Ooh, very cool, especially the touch of personal history.

[wintersday]

This is such a neat interpretation of the prompt, and I love the image of the song released from the nautilus shell in reverse.

Nirvana in Fire, Lin Chen and Fei Liu

[marquisguyun]

"Fei Liu," Lin Chen said slowly, something like genuine concern seeping into his voice, "Is that your blood?"

The boy thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Mine!"

It took nearly a shichen for Lin Chen to pin him down long enough to examine him, only to find that apparently Fei Liu didn't have so much of a scratch on him; the blood was his by right of possession.

Re: But I Come Back to the Water

[wintersday]

Oh, this is lovely.

Re: Made to Measure

[vialethe]

Can you tell I will be obsessed with the brothel scene until it kills me.

What else would a Targaryen possibly taste of, right??

[wintersday]

Oh, damn, that’s good.

[svgurl]

Aww, I love this! It is so happy yet there is an underlying sense of foreboding because at some point, Diana will have to be without him again. At least they get to enjoy the time (which is hopefully longer than the previous ones) that they have together. Her last line just made me FEEL so much. She would never give up on him! :D

Thank you for picking and filling my prompt! Receiving Wondertrev from you is a wonderful treat for sure. :D

[wintersday]

Ahahaha, perfect.

[dawen]

any, any, doing the dishes

[wintersday]

Aww, super cute.

Re: Nirvana in Fire, Lin Chen and Fei Liu

[kalira]

*laughs* Oh no, the alarm! X'D

[wintersday]

Thank you! <3

Re: Fill

[wintersday]

Aw, thank you so much!

[wintersday]

Oh, that’s excellent.

[ruthchinn]

thank you!!!! I was definitely aiming for that with the ribs/corset thing and with the last line. <3

All the Fire Bright

[vialethe]

The first snowflakes kiss her upturned face, and Vasya laughs, each icy pinprick a brush of his lips against her skin.

“Aunt Vasya loves winter very much,” Marya says, dubious, watching from her mother’s side as Vasya whirls through the falling snow in their courtyard, hands outstretched as though holding fast to another, feet sure and certain on the frozen ground.

“More than is good for her,” Olga says, and turns away with a sigh, but Marya stays, squinting through the blur of white; if she looks hard enough, at just the right angle, sometimes she can catch him, the quicksilver figure carved from ice, dancing hand in hand with Vasya, wild as the winter’s winds.

Re: The Fifth Season

[hamsterwoman]

Ooh! This is an excellent fandom choice for this format! Your ficlet reads like a bit of stone lore :)

Scholomance

[ruthchinn]

The hilarious thing is that once El is swept away to school, she's not the bad-luck magnet that she used to be. Among little baby wizards just like herself, there's nothing in particular to pick her out from a crowd, beyond the fact that she always stands alone within it. Oh, the mals are out for her blood just like anyone else's, but for once she's not an attention-grabbing black hole for her neighbours, or the schoolkid who gets strange bumps and bruises from the monsters no one else ever sees except her mother.

Of course, none of that stays true once she reaches senior year, but the anonymity was good while it lasted.
