caramelsilver | 3 Sentence Ficathon 2010

This was so much fun last year, so I'm doing it again!

The rules:

This is a challenge where you answer a prompt with a fic consisting of only three sentences. It's open to all fandoms and you can post and answer as many prompts as you like. Only one prompt per comment please.

When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence.

Lastly, please pimp this to your flist, I'd like as many as possible to come and participate!

Have fun!

Edit: December 1:

grim_lupine is being awesome again this year! She's compiled all your prompts into this delicious archive. All prompts are tagged with fandom and if it's filled or not. So, to make this easier on her, when prompting, please, use the whole name of the fandom and not just the abbreviation. Thanks!

Also: Multiple answers to prompts are not just allowed, but encouraged as well. Don't let the fact that someone else has answered it first stop you if you like the prompt!

If you have any questions ask them to the first comment.

Angel, Connor (& any?) gen, The New Pornographers' cover of "When I Was a Baby," (http://anonym.to/http://www.box.net/shared/3uo9gl5c84) any of the lyrics:

when I was a baby, I looked like a pig
my nose was a snout and my ears were too big
my mother would poke at the holes
at the back of my head where my brain was exposed
I didn't know it then but never again would recapture those wonderful days

when I was a baby, I fell down a well
I landed deep down in the furnace of hell
the devil would rock me to sleep
with stories of cities of ivory and gold
it took a long long time before I could escape from that terrible hold

when I was a baby, I lived in a crib
I crawled on all fours and I ate with a bib
but then I was taken away
and was sold to the circus for trinkets and beads
now I lay awake at night and dream about what I would do if I'm ever set free

The English Patient (preferably book?), Caravaggio/Hana, found his voice for her

They took his thumbs, took his hands. But a thief is not all thumbs - a good thief is at least half words, and for months he feels that knife sawing away at his voice, lack of use dulling the desire to speak. Hana, though, deserves at least half of him, and she gives him morphine, and he gives her the words he steals from delirium.

The English Patient, Hana/Caravaggio, fingers to mouth

The X-Files (and/or The Lone Gunmen), any or all of the Gunmen, The New Pornographers' "Graceland" (http://anonym.to/http://www.box.net/shared/6oyr3ti3hb), any of the lyrics:

Countdown to zero, to zero
I am listening
Through the walls, not at all
What I thought I was missing

In my case there is something
In the will to escape life at last
As we ride into the sun safe we burst into flames
I don't know, I don't know how you missed us
Rolling by, rolling by like the three ghosts of Christmas
In my life this will happen to a boy every time, the perfect crime
Which as everybody knows pays just fine...

So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even

Lights out and the first of your circuits is broken
Tell the post, good to go, set it, gives into motion
In my life this will happen to a boy every time, the perfect crime
Which as everybody knows pays just fine...

So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even

So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even

The English Patient, Caravaggio/Hana or Hana/Kip or Caravaggio/Hana/Kip (OT3 or gen-ish), her body full of stories and situations

The English Patient, Caravaggio/Hana or Caravaggio/Hana/Kip (OT3 or gen-ish), words are tricky things (much more tricky than violins)

The English Patient, Caravaggio/Hana or Caravaggio & Hana, watching during meals

The English Patient, Kip/Hana or Caravaggio/Hana or Kip/Hana/Caravaggio (OT3 or gen-ish), many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it

The English Patient, Hana, boys are staring and they wait for dances
in lines as long as country miles / the girls' voices drift like anesthesia...

The Sarah Jane Adventures, Clyde/Rani, never let you down

Discworld, Bashfullsson (Grag Bashfull Bashfullsson from Thud!), I bargain with no axe in my hand

Merlin, Morgana, A world lit only by fire

She doesn't dream of fanciful ideals or fairytales, she dreams of things to come, and one of these things is fire.

Her sister is gone now, and she is all alone, and there will be fire in Camelot, everywhere. On the battlements, across the cobblestones, spilling over from torches onto the walls and floors, eating at the air, in the moat.

Star Trek, Jim/Bones, Love is a battlefield

Doctor Who, Rose, losing you was terrible; I've been spoiled for anyone else

Narnia, Edmund, smoking

(obligatory post is obligatory :P)

Narnia was kind to you, soft and welcoming, even after you made a mistake that nearly ruined everything. After so many years away, coming back to England hurts, all sharp edges and jagged angles, like a broken mirror of yourself.

So you hold onto your cigarette like a last lifeline to that other land and watch as the smoke softens the edges of life.

Narnia, Peter, PC movieverse, yearning for an other time.

He wants another time, another place, another world, one that isn't bombs and grey and pavement and smoke, one where the air is clean.

It doesn't help that there is just enough beauty in England to see Narnia, a flower blooming just so and he thinks of the Dancing Lawn, stained glass and he thinks of the Cair, Susan's laugh.

He wants another world, wants his country and his home, the land he swore to protect.

Firefly, Jayne/Simon, "one hell of a surprise."

Firefly, Mal/Inara, finally they kiss but it's their final kiss.

Buffy, Faith/Willow, post S7 one night stand.

Angel, Wes/Angel, betrayal.

Angel, Spike/Lindsey, orgasm denial.

Angel, Andrew, seriously crushing on Spike who is oblivious.

Angel, Spike/Willow, "it's complicated."

Firefly/Serenity, Simon/Kaylee, dinner for two.

Chuck, Ellie/Awesome, Ellie worrying about Chuck.
