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.

The Folk of the Air, Jude/Cardan
Without looking at him, Jude says, “We could always just spend a few days in the mortal realm, until the heatwave passes.”
“It’s just as hot there, if not worse.”
“At least they have air conditioning,” Jude points out as she rubs the back of her neck with cool, wet hands, not at all caring that the hem of her dress is soaking up water and mud. “What do you say? You could simply glamour some leaves into money and we can stay at a hotel and blast the air conditioner while ordering room service.”
She splashes water on her arms, up to the elbows and Cardan finally joins her, kneeling with far more grace than one has any right to when kneeling on a muddy riverbank. Jude has half a mind to shove Cardan into the water for no other reason than just that, but instead watches as he brings water to his face and runs his wet hands through his hair. He catches her eye, of course he does, and smirks at her.
That’s it, Jude thinks and, with a smile more innocent than she should ever wear being Cardan’s only warning, she shoves him and sends him toppling into the water face first.
When Cardan emerges from the water he’s sputtering, his tail switching back and forth and there’s some moss stuck to the tip of it. “And here I was just about to agree to your plan to go to the mortal realm with you for a few days.”
“We can still go,” Jude snorts with laughter, “the really nice hotels have huge bathtubs you can clean up in.”
“We can still go, yes,” Cardan says as he looks her over and it’s the lilt of his voice that gives him away, but Jude isn’t fast enough and Cardan grabs her by the hand and pulls her into the water with a laugh of his own, “if you join me, that is.”
