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.

Our Flag Means Death, Ed/Stede, Stede's secret tattoo isn't so secret anymore
"I had to pick somewhere I could reach but no one would ever see, not even tailors, and it was meant to be a compass star, but I bungled it and had to turn it into a flower instead, and even then not a very good one, but in my defense I was eleven," Stede prattled, barely pausing for breath as he shed breeches and drawers to expose the tattoo whose existence Ed had disputed on the grounds that, if Stede had one, then Ed would have already seen it, given how often they had been getting naked with each other lately. "In hindsight, it's pathetic," he concluded with a sigh, gesturing to the little blotch of ink high on his inner thigh, blurred and faded with age, which Ed had indeed seen before but mistook for a birthmark, "but I so desperately wanted to feel at least a little piratical, and a hidden tattoo was all I could get away with back then."
"Don't call it pathetic," Ed said, bending to kiss the tattoo before continuing, "not when you did it all by yourself, in such a sensitive location," kiss, "at age eleven; no, I'd call that pretty badass."

"Hey, Izzy," Edward said as he hurried over, his face wearing that look of anticipatory delight which Izzy had started feel wary of years ago and then learned to distrust even more in the time since Stede Bonnet had bumbled his way into their lives, "how old were you when you got your first tattoo?"
Bonnet, who Edward had dragged with him, looked vaguely uneasy, like he'd rather not have whatever this conversation was, so Izzy felt willing to actually answer the question instead of telling them both to fuck off with their distractions and let him get back to work, and after digging back through the decades to remember, said, "Twenty three, maybe twenty four."
Edward nodded, and Izzy didn't know what mental math he was doing but could see the exact moment Edward reached his answer, because the man's smile bloomed into a full grin, and he cackled, dragging Izzy into a hug with his right arm while doing the same to Bonnet with his left and shouting, "Ha, that means Stede's tattoo is years older than any ink either of us have," and the only response Izzy could give to that was, of course, "What the fuck?"
Re: Our Flag Means Death, Ed/Stede, Stede's secret tattoo isn't so secret anymore
The idea that Ed had already seen it and thought it was a birthmark is *chef's kiss* and I love that Izzy walked right into the nonsense thinking he was winning!
