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.

It’s not that she doesn’t love Narnia—just that she loves the cultivated fields, the fresh air, the sun through clouds, the gentle whisper of wind in the trees, the feeling one can have of being entirely alone and surrounded by silence.

Will she ever have that again? Or will she be surrounded by others at every moment, whether she knows it or not—would an island in another world, a silent world, a world that is not looking at her, judging her, every moment, be so much worse?

And that's not a feeling an awakened Narnia would have! oooof. This is sad, and not a POV I think about much.

Someone Will Remember Us (Susan/Edmund)

From: [personal profile] vialethe
The last time she sees him, they go down to the sea; to the Channel cold and grey below its cliffs, to the honeycomb of caves, old havens of pirates and smugglers and outcasts like the pair of them, exiles in search of a haven, a place free of prying eyes and judgements.

They stay as long as the tide will allow; she doesn’t fuss over the damp and dark, and he doesn’t mention the hard-packed sand under their bodies.

Before they leave, he carves it for her, leaving their love behind, embedded in the stone of the cave with her laughter; E&S intertwined, crowned with a lopsided heart, as much of their old country as their hands can manage to recreate, here-

(-Susan will try, in the years after, to find the cave again and again, but they are a maze, one too much like the other, and she never does.)

I guess it's too close to being a piece of Narnia, somewhere where she was once happy!!! Can't have THAT.

Lucy stands on the deck with the sun on her face and the wind in her hair and feels unspeakably sad; she doesn’t know how the idyllic setting can yet fill her with such dread.

She must leave, she knows, and she is ready, yet that doesn’t mean she precisely wants to.

Caspian’s hand is on the wood beside hers but they do not touch, and they do not speak; they have said all that needs to be said, so Lucy determines she will not be sad and instead will take comfort in his presence for as long as she still has him.

Lucy stands at the railing, face upturned, drinking deeply of the sunlight and sweet air, when Caspian joins her, his shoulder brushing against hers in familiar gesture, and they stand together in companionable silence, arms pressed against each other, for there is something about the Silver Sea that makes every touch sweeter, fuller, and dearer than those shared before it.

“What do you think lies at the end of the world?” Caspian asks, breaking the silence, and Lucy looks at him, bright and golden in the sunlight, made all the more radiant by having tasted the water of the Silver Sea, and for a moment, she wishes that there were no destination, no end to this journey, or to this unnameable emotion that stretches between them; for a moment, she wishes that the sea would stretch on forever, and that all their days might be like this—bright and sweet and full of a loveliness that fills her from her toes to her crown.

“I don’t know,” she says, “but I hope that whatever we find there is as beautiful as this,” and she smiles up at him.

ohhhh, this is lovely, it feels like the light of the Trees in Valinor making everything more sweet and beautiful, and Lucy and Caspian holding onto that moment forever
