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

[snacky]

It was such a great scene! Thank you for the insight into Jon!

[violsva]

She strokes the smooth metal of the gun, and it feels like power—like strength, like having the last word in an argument, like saying, “Time’s up,” and being listened to.

It isn’t power. With one bullet she would give up all the power she has in her position, in her life, in this dangerous world she moves through, exchanged for fear and insignificance—and she’s going to do it anyway.

[snacky]

Yes, exactly. Sansa learned all the lessons of the game, and she's not going to give up on it now.

Re: Warmed the Coldest Night

[snacky]

FORCED into it!

TGCF, Feng Xin/Jian Lan

[zdenka]

When Feng Xin stops visiting, Jian Lan doesn't try to find out what happened to him. He could have grown tired of her, even after all his words of devotion; he could have become ashamed of associating with a prostitute; he could have fled the city with his fallen prince; he could be captured or dead -- she is used to loss, now, and some kinds sting worse than others.

But when she realizes that she's pregnant, she takes out the protection charm he left with her and presses it to her belly; the child of a wanted fugitive, born in such a place, will need all the luck it can get.

Re: The Thought of Him Undressing

[vialethe]

I was very satisfied with that one!!

I was playing with your Yuletide fic there, where she isn't quite willing to answer his wedding questions, but he's patient and Just Knows anyhow.

Re: The End Was Soon

[snacky]

You have to, and I love it!

(I think I made it? I can't even remember now, but steal away!)

Re: If Secrets Were Like Seeds

[vialethe]

I always want to see more Alyosha and Irina, as you know! There were so many chyerti around their village, and Morozko's place was so close...surely there's still plenty of adventures for them to have.

Re: Your Time has Come

[snacky]

Jon's blessing and his curse, tbh. :D

Re: All the Fire Bright

[snacky]

Listen, Olga, you made your choices, she makes hers! :D

[harmony_lover]

Newsies, Sarah Jacobs/Jack Kelly, Somewhere in a hidden memory/Images float before my eyes/Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires/Dancing 'til the next sunrise

Incognito (Enchanted Forest Chronicles)

[edenfalling]

"One of the vanishingly few upsides of spending seventeen years locked away in a pocket dimension," Mendanbar said as he led Cimorene down the second-left cellar stairs toward the dairy room and its delivery door, "is that I hardly need to bother with disguises anymore. Either people have completely forgotten what I look like, or they still expect to see a handsome young idiot rather than a tired, middle-aged man with graying hair and wrinkles."

He grinned at Cimorene and added, "Getting people to overlook you, on the other hand, takes a lot more work."

[ravenlilyrose]

sooooo good. I can feel this and it hurts beautifully

[harmony_lover]

Newsies, David Jacobs/Katherine Plumber Pulitzer, There is enough/So ask for more to fill you up
Nobody's keeping score/Do you know what you fight for?/What you fight for?/I want more love

Re: All the Fire Bright

[whynot]

ooooh harvest goddess, I love that!

[ravenlilyrose]

amazing!

Re: If Secrets Were Like Seeds

[vialethe]

He totally could, right?? Justice for Alyosha!!

[harmony_lover]

Newsies, Sarah Jacobs/Jack Kelly, I knew/When you told me you don't wanna go home tonight/And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked you why/Somebody hurt you/Somebody hurt you/But you're here by my side

[demigodscum]

Win! \o/ I'm so glad you like it.

[vialethe]

LOL I love all this Daemon slander. He deserves every bit of it. And of course Rhaenyra doesn't actually care at all ("candied comments" is so great) and prefers him to any faith. Why wouldn't she??

Doctor Who - Play Me a Memory

[word_devourer]

"Oh, I've been too many people to remember all of it," says the Doctor, "so... I try to hold onto whatever I can't remember in here."
A flickering remembrance of what could easily be an elderly human, laughing as he steps back to the TARDIS.
"Sometimes I forget that I used to be so young I wanted to look old just to be taken seriously."

[vialethe]

Eustace!! That is incredibly sweet of him, really. It's his version of drawing!

Also lol at his writing being so hard to read it doesn't really serve any purpose for Jill to have stolen it. Using your thigh as a table is no excuse for bad penmanship, Scrubb!

Star Wars, Leia vs. dark!Leia

[sincereously]

"I don't think you and your pitiful little rebellion know what you're dealing with," the Empress drawled, the yellow irises of her eyes catching the bright red beam of her lightsaber as she stared at Leia; with her free hand she twisted a strand of her familiar dark hair out of the way of her horribly familiar face, in a gesture Leia had seen thousands of times in her own mirror.

Looking at the Empress was about as disorienting as falling into this universe in the first place had been...but Leia had her own advantages, from her weapons to her friends to her strange recognition of the storm of rage and passion and determination she sensed from her enemy's all-too-familiar heart.

"I think I know exactly who I'm dealing with," Leia snarled, igniting her own saber's blade, "the question is, do you?"

Re: Fill, Untitled Goose Game, Boy With Glasses, Gardener

[slowmercury]

I love this so much. So, so much. Thank you, you horrible goose.

[vialethe]

My secret is that whenever I write Ed and sirens there is always a black-haired one with scarlet lips, and people always think it's Jadis, but really it is always Susan. Always.
