threesentenceficathonWelcome 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 Untamed, Nie Mingjue and Wen Qing
Date: 2023-03-12 11:13 am (UTC)(second of a series, follows on from this one
Nie Mingjue was nothing if not steadfast. Especially if it meant that he could also aggravate the smarmy, sanctimonious, self-serving leader of the Jin sect.
"Are you serious? You are protecting... Wens?" Jin Guangshan tried for patronising disbelief but only managed some sort of unpleasant, constipated emotion that Nie Mingjue couldn't be bothered deciphering. Wen Qing who was standing by his side in Nie green and grey - which suited her, he thought - could do the deciphering for them all.
He was feeling too good, too relaxed, too calm. All the ugly, almost mindless fury and easy bloodlust that he had lived with for years, if not quite gone, was weakened and definitely fading from his mind, his nerves and his blood. The treatment she had persuaded (no, not bullied, despite a delighted Huaisang's fondness for the term) him into was working.
That didn't mean, however, that he wasn't a Nie, with a Nie's stubborn pride. Sure, his brother called it contrariness and, in their not infrequent shouting matches, so did Wen Qing, but even this it was different now. It felt... clean. Light. Free of blind rage and blinder hatred.
It felt good.
Not Mingjue still didn't wholly trust her and her people, but he probably - probably - didn't hate them any more. He could put up with them. He couldn't put up with creatures like this man, though; he just didn't want to kill them on sight. At least, not much.
He put a light hand on Wen Qing's shoulder, as they had agreed he would and could if needed, and stared the Jin into retreat.
"I am,"he rumbled, not bothering to add that they were protecting him and his brother, and his own Sect. That was no one's business but their own. "And I will continue to no matter what. Deal with it."
Next to him, Wen Qing smiled.
