2023 Three Sentence Ficathon - Post #1

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.

Timeless, Rufus & Lucy

"This is the darkest timeline," said Rufus, shaking his head miserably as he contemplated the cinema marquee.

"Believe me," said Lucy, "when, as a historian, I say that things could be a lot worse."

But he was unconsoled: "I refuse to live in a world without Star Wars."

Time passed; the world completed its long, slow, ugly slide into destruction; and there came a time when Adam The Savage clambered out of his Fearsome War Mech to inspect his new conquest and spotted a familiar face.

"Jamie!?" he half-shrieked.

Jamie looked vaguely annoyed, but he still clasped Adam's hand with the same strength and sincerity he'd always possessed. "I knew it was you out there when I heard what happened to my ballista," he said.

"I should've known it was you when I saw that ballista!" Adam laughed. "How the hell did you end up here?"

"Long story," Jamie shrugged.

"Well, tell me about it over a drink. I figure I owe you one at this point."

Adam had never really stopped smiling, but he felt like he definitely needed that grin-ectomy when Jamie finally responded with a small smile of his own.

"Oh, Jack, Ten of swords in your future position. Do you know what that means, Jack? You still have a while to go before..."

Whatever dumb babble Rose had to say about his future or whatever went in one ear, out the other.

Raiden did not have time to think about stupid cards while trying to stop the bleeding from his arm wound, desperately holding his breath to keep from screaming as he considers cauterizing it - that would be nice, nicer than this.

Above the black outline of the Derbyshire hills the dawn was colouring the sky in shades of rose and saffron, spreading and subtly changing; and below, heedless of the gorgeous display, the boy sat, his left sleeve pushed up above his elbow and his features drawn into a frown, tracing and retracing with the fingers of his right hand the lines and swirls and dots that covered the skin of his wrist.

Abruptly he looked up: from somewhere amongst the moors a great bird had risen up—and another—and another... until they almost filled the sky.

He watched them for a minute or two as they flapped, wheeled and looped about in strange patterns, surprisingly agile on their broad wings, their deep voices quiet in the still air; and then he threw back his head and laughed aloud.

There were a million ways they could have stopped this. A million ways they could have given warning, softened the blow. Master Igor knew everything; he could have done something—

—but he didn't. He just let the story play out.

Elizabeth had trusted him. Had believed him, when he said we must not interfere directly; we are not of their world, it is not our place.

She didn't know Master's perfect ending needed the Wild Card to die.

And it hadn't just been the Wild Card, had it...?

She's sick to death of it all.

When she leaves the Velvet Room for the last time, she makes two promises, blowing them like kisses up to the moon and hoping her love can hear her.

I'll set you free. I'll find a way.

And I shall never stand on the sidelines again, when there's anything I can do to help.

Re: Made to Measure

[personal profile] caramelsilver 2023-01-14 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah! This was exactly the thing I was looking for. I'm obessessed, with these two, the brothel scene. All the untapped potential of their relationship. Love love love.


PS! Do you know the song I used in the prompt or is it just the biggest coincidence that you named this Made to Measure? You see the song starts with: "Take it, don't break it, know it was made to measure" Song is Never let Me go- Metteson

HotD, everyone, snapshot

[personal profile] caramelsilver 2023-01-14 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A snapshot, look, a picture: See the matriarchs standing opposing, ready for battle, each standing in front of their children.

Watch and you will see, children who grew up side by side, snarling at each other.

Tragedy in the room, inherited hatred filling the air.
