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

sparkles in the void; Time to Orbit: Unknown

[ruthchinn]

At one point on the long trip back from the front of the Courageous, Aspen started to see little twinkling lights at the edges of the suit's helmet's field of view, then turns to look, and gasps. There's a beautiful storm of dust and flashes passing through the void of space, and by some chance and some miracle, there's a witness to the sight. It's a wonder to behold, the emptiness of the space that extends far above the ship's shell, but even greater are the little things that fill it.

This ship holds thousands, but it's tiny in comparison to the vastness of everything surrounding it; that is, absolute nothing. Perhaps everyone who joined the slumbering crew is mad to have done so, to be trying to defy the void itself. Perhaps they're all simply human.

kill me? T_T

[wintersday]

Heh, I bet that’s a relief. This is great!

[ruthchinn]

Curse Words: Spellcasting for Fun and Prophet, any, the nature of spells

[ruthchinn]

Any, any, lovers to friends

[wintersday]

He’s trying his best! <3

[kalira]

I love it!

Re: Adventure (Arda; Éowyn & Éomer)

[kalira]

Thank you! ♡

[wintersday]

Oh, that’s just stunning, and a really lovely fix-it.

[ravenlilyrose]

There are no statues in Narnia, but the land does not want for art. Even centuries later they have never forgotten that statues might once have been cousins, but they can still mold clay into flowing waves that could be either the ocean or the wind or both or neither, still weld metals together until a lattice like a honeycomb shows a beam of beautiful sunlight. So no, they never forget and there are no statues in Narnia, but there is art and sculpture and beauty all the same.

Re: Final Fantasy VI, NPCs, maybe channelling a little of my own expasperation XD

[wintersday]

Brilliant.

[(Anonymous)]

He knew of the goose of, everyone did, it’s existence was one of the most hotly debated topics among lonely singles, not that he’d consider himself one, but Percy knew better than to question the goose.

It led him through crowds of people before coming to stop in front of a triclops witch named Boscha, who was sporting a loom of dread to match Percy’s.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” The pair said in unison.

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

[wintersday]

That’s one way to solve a problem! I love it.

[kalira]

Oh, this is so lovely~ A perfect cycle, down to feeling Yue's . . . weariness over all that time, for all she continues on, all the same.

Re: Lucy+Van Helsing

[wintersday]

Break my heart, why don’t you.

Re: Fill: Spock & McCoy, Star Trek

[wintersday]

Hah, this is great!

Re: Rogue One, Jyn/Cassian

[wintersday]

Excellent. :D

Re: Miss Marple

[hamsterwoman]

Ha, this is great! :D

Warmed the Coldest Night

[vialethe]

He is cold, yes, his skin burning over hers like the bite of frost, trails of ice run in chills down her body, from clavicle and ribs to hipbone and back.

And hard too, hard and unyielding as the ice hidden just beneath the snow, deep and solid as the freeze in the clear lakes, carved like marble for the pliant warmth of her body to bend against, to shape herself around him.

And yet - at his touch, she burns from within, built to a blazing fever pitch by the cold and dark in him.

Kittens' Prize (Sex Pistols; Kunimasa/Manami/Noririn, Yonekuni/Shiro)

[kalira]

"I mean," Yonekuni said, not even really bothering to smother his laughter, "I think you should let them have their way, otouto. They did save your dumb ass."

Shiro did try to stifle his laughter - try. Poorly. He hid his face in his mate's shoulder at the depth of affront on Kunimasa's face.

But he remained where he was, sprawled in the middle of his bed with his mates pushily fussing at him, both of them showing fluffy ears, swishing tails - and the claws and teeth that had made their point about their mate so very . . . clearly.

[wintersday]

This hits the perfect balance between funny, cute, and oh no, this poor kid.

Re: Fill: Spock & McCoy, Star Trek

[hamsterwoman]

Hee!

[wintersday]

Excellent character study.

Re: Made to Measure

[vialethe]

It is amazing and the fact that they didn't actually have sex is a crime but also does nothing to reduce how good the scene is.

I've left many scattered Daemyra prompts, so that's an easy way to see more of them!! Ahem.

[wintersday]

And this is an excellent mirror image AU.
