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.

Naruto, Kakuzu/Hidan
If anything, he thinks Hidan will at least appreciate the cards themselves which Kakuzu had gone to great lengths to choose. It took some time to find, he wanted something that reminded him of Hidan, something darker and macabre. It had been a deck with iconography of skeletons, all in black and gold and shades of gray.
A little embarrassed for overthinking his gift and it being too late for him to be able to back out in giving it now, Kakuzu neatly wraps the box in newspaper and hopes, if anything, it might give Hidan a new, quiet hobby. One he’d best keep to himself, because Kakuzu does not want Hidan of all people to try and divine his future or his troubles.
Not that Kakuzu puts much weight in things like tarot card reading anyways.
A week later, Hidan shuffles the deck with all the ease and skill of someone who had to have dealt cards for a living at some point, and then smoothly spreads the cards out in a neat row on the kitchen table. “Pick three cards, Kakuzu! But think of something first!” Hidan tells him, looking more serious than Kakuzu remembers seeing him in recent memory.
Instead of scrolling through his phone in the evenings while Kakuzu read, Hidan had been reading the guidebook that came with the deck. Kakuzu had found it to be rather a turn on, especially when Hidan broke out his glasses. Neither got much reading done that night, though neither complained about it.
“I’ll pass. Pick your own cards.” Kakuzu almost regrets the way Hidan’s face falls. Almost. “You know I don’t believe in that stuff.”
“But you bought them for me.” And then a second later Hidan is grinning up at him. “Best gift, by the way!”
How can Kakuzu refuse after that? With a long suffering sigh, he slides three cards at random out from the rest — but not before being reminded to think of something — and Hidan eagerly turns them over.
Kakuzu can’t help but snort when he sees the middle card, ‘the lovers’, depicted by two skeletons draped in robes and gazing tenderly at one another as one holds the other's face and the other a bouquet of golden flowers.
“What’d you think of?” Hidan wants to know but Kakuzu is turning away to pour them each a cup of coffee from the coffee maker and pretends not to hear. Of course he had thought of Hidan. But it was just luck, or coincidence.
Hidan is insistent however. “Kakuzu, come on, tell me what you were thinking of!”
“That’s not how it works,” Kakuzu says as he turns back around and sets a mug in front of his lover. “You don’t need to know what I thought of to interpret the meanings. So go on,” Kakuzu sits opposite him at the table and takes a sip of his own coffee, “tell me what this is supposed to mean.”
