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.

Flight to You

When Cheng Xiao landed the plane back in Luzhou four days later, having flown the longest international return flight of her career so far, part of her mind was probably still half-way across the world, and it took until Gu Nanting asked, “Should we go home?” that she remembered she had sent all her things to his house, and now they would return to his apartment together.

She was no longer such a stranger to his apartment as she had once been, but now it was still strange to see her things displayed casually around the house. He had placed her model airplanes next to his - the bright colours she had added to her planes contrasting with the grim colours on his in such a way that made her laugh. When he showed her the bedroom, Cheng Xiao felt like her chest was filling up with warm air to see her spare captain’s uniform hanging next to his in the closet.

Gu Nanting wrapped his arms around her from behind and pressed a kiss to her hair. Then, he took her hand and said, “Come, I want to show you this.”

He led her to the room he was using as a home office, and there on the wall, he had put up the two maps of their flight routes side by side. The map that she used to record his flights still had that tear from when the movers had ripped it from the wall of the apartment opposite them.

“You haven’t updated this in a while,” Gu Nanting said, running a finger against the tape that she had used to patch up the tear.

“No,” Cheng Xiao answered. “Not since I moved the last time. At the time, it just felt…too much.”

Gu Nanting only nodded, and that was when Cheng Xiao realised he hadn’t updated her map either.

“You also stopped at around the same time?” she asked, though she already knew the answer.

Gu Nanting nodded again, but this time, he smiled. “We can start updating them again now, together? In celebration of your latest achievement?”

Cheng Xiao couldn’t help but break into a wide grin, before leaning to kiss his cheek. “That would be wonderful!” Then, a thought occurred to her and her face fell. “Oh, but I left my logbook at the office.”

“Wait here,” Gu Nanting said, before leaving the room. A minute later, he came back with his flight bag, from which he produced both his and her recent logbooks.

“You had this all planned out, didn’t you?” Cheng Xiao asked, giggling.

Gu Nanting smiled and placed the books on the table. “Of course,” he said. “I thought this would be a good way to welcome you home.”

"Whyyy did we have to go without alpha?" Naruto whined, clinging to Sakura's back and nuzzling her shoulder; at least they'd parted ways with the four other members of their temporary team already - and they were nearly home - but. . .

Well, Sakura couldn't blame him, even as she patiently reminded him they had been undercover at an omega-only onsen; it had been tiresome, and she had missed their mate as much as he - they weren't used to taking missions without him, let alone long ones, but as skilled as he was, there was . . . no way Kakashi could pass himself off as an omega, not for so much as an evening, let alone weeks.

Now, however . . . Naruto released her and bounded ahead, but Sakura was already picking up speed herself, and they slipped through the gate together, laughing as they reached Kakashi and tumbled across the grass just shy of the engawa together; Kakashi was lean and solid and familiar as he drew them in close, his own laughter flavoured with an affectionate rumble.

After spending sixteen years in a small cottage, Cimorene had expected the castle to feel oversized and drafty.

Which it was, if she were honest—it always had been, with echoing grandiose halls, tall rafters that hadn’t been cleaned in sixteen years now, and long meandering hallways that she had to squint to see the ends of—but in a way that felt less uncomfortably spacious and more like she could breath. Like her lungs could expand and like she didn’t have to think about how much space she took up.

It was a strange thing to be home again, but Cimorene quite liked it.

She was back here, in the House, resting her back against the pillar of a statue shaped like a faun. Thoughts came to her like rain, and she opened her notebook and wrote them down: it felt strange, and yet, so right, to add her own words to this world--somehow, it felt like home. The faun, with his finger on his lips, only smiled, and kept the secret.
