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.

Millisecond away from her whip, just enough of a dash and movement to make sure it misses (he doesn't let himself think of the times he wants it to hit, not here), a spin around and his bloodstone in her.

She never smiles at him in here, not really, but that's part of the deal isn't it (she smiles at him other places and other times, touches his face with hands more gentle than anyone would ever expect and than he would ever tell anyone) and he brings the spear back to his hand, tenses for the next moment.

The whip lashes through his chest, not enough time to evade it, and there's a moment of almost triumph in her eyes even as she yanks him closer (she knows it's not a good idea but how good is her judgment really when it comes to him) and he trades blow for blow, watches her slide into the river in anger, knows next time he comes home it will be something new and catches the spear again, lets himself breathe and remember that the journey home will bring him back to her.

Yes... Yeessss this is the juice I hoped for when I posted this prompt. I have very rarely considered Meg being gentle, but you're goddamn right; there's gotta be a lot of tension from keeping yourself constantly rigid and aggressive, takes a lot of trust to let yourself be soft with someone. Which makes the concept all the more intriguing.

i like to think that eventually, over time, they have an intimacy that lets them choose whether they want to be gentle or harsh with each other, whatever is needed for that bedroom encounter and each other. one day, eventually, they're true partners.
