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.

Doctor Who - Play Me a Memory

"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."

Nirvana in Fire, Mei Changsu

There was a weight to it as he got dressed, heavier than the armor itself, but he felt lighter than he had in over a decade.

The Lin Shu of his distant past could dress this way, all martial cuts and youthful invincibility, but the Mei Changsu of his more recent years couldn't dream of it, wrapped up in the warm layers of an ill man.

To dress for war now felt like clothing himself in his past self and stripping himself bare all at once. He knew better now than to think himself invincible--he'd been dying for nearly half of his life--but he didn't need to be invincible this time. He only needed what he'd needed since he first came into Lin Chen's care: to live long enough to accomplish what he'd set out to do.

This is lovely, the contrast of the young warrior and the old man, invincibility and wisdom as he goes to meet his fate.

Thank you! He's actually only in his early 30s here, but he's been living on borrowed time (and with a new identity) since he was fatally poisoned in his late teens.
