3 Sentence Ficathon 2010

[caramelsilver]

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.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Snyder, the greatest of these is hope

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Darla, brittle

[summerofsoaps.livejournal.com]

There shouldn't be enough time when a vampire dies, between the stake and the moment of darkness, for reflection. But Darla thinks about how brittle life has turned out to be. First Angelus broke beneath the wait of his soul, and now here she is, too, snapped at the hands of an angel.

Angel the Series, Gunn, we've come a long way together

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel the Series, Cordelia/?, one last touch

[laeria.livejournal.com]

Keanu's being lead away, of course he is, and it's better that way, because he'll go live with other rich horses and will probably have better housing (and food and hygiene) than Corelia herself. Still, he's staring at her in his stupid equine way, all but is it not a grand day to go out for a strut (Keanu sounds like Giles in her head, although clearly he would be way less studgy and bumbling than Giles and far far more graceful even as a librarian). There's tears, of course there's tears, and she pats his haunch as rough see-you-later-I-love-you-make-sure-they-keep-you-combed, and then she runs rack into the house that's no longer hers.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel the Series, Faith, one last job

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

As fire rained from the sky, Faith stood at the edge of the Earth (or at least the damn big crack that might as well have been the edge), knowing that the big bad was down there and when she beat him (because she was going to beat him), the crack would seal before she could reach the surface.

There was only one thing she could do. She looked around, taking one last look at the world she was about to save, then jumped.

Supernatural, Anna, not so much dead as temporarily incapacitated

[ticketsonmyself.livejournal.com]

I LIKE THIS PROMPT.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Nikita, Nikita/Alex/(Michael), she knows Nikita's not all right - she saw the bruises Michael's carrying

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

SPN, Castiel, to-do list

[metonomia.livejournal.com]

"Raphael has broken through one side of our third sphere defenses, and Hamael's troops in the second sphere are being overrun, and somehow they've got their hands on David's slingshot..." Abdiel goes on and on and all Castiel can do is to stand there and absorb his fault. His fault for pushing them into this rebellion, his fault for being so sure he of all the Host knew God's true will, his fault for the screams in all their heads as his brothers and sisters are torn to pieces. There is too much to do, and Castiel is no longer sure he ought to be doing it.

Highlander/Leverage, Methos/Amanda&/Parker, "No, I'M stealing it!"

[selana1505.livejournal.com]

"Adam, leave me alone, I'm going to steal this diamond..." Parker listened to the man and woman bickering in the hallway while she let herself down from the ceiling - they were just outside the door, so she'd have to hurry. She just had enough time to grab the diamond without tripping an alarm when the door opened and the dark haired man said with a sigh: "Fine, we will steal and and share." They both stopped in their tracks when they saw Parker waving down from the air shaft: "Sorry guys, too late, I'm stealing!"

T:SCC, Lauren Fields & Jesse, Judgment Day comes and goes with no bombs

[ticketsonmyself.livejournal.com]

BEST PROMPT!!

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Susan, not enough sky to fill my dreams

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

The sky of England is a muddy gray today, in defiance of all that Susan wants the day to hold, and she sighs and fetches her umbrella. Perhaps a raincoat - but no, she doesn't want to cover up the brightness of her purple dress, not when she's meeting up with her family after they finish their madcap quest.

It's still raining when she arrives at the station, and she gets mud on her dress as she starts running when she sees the smoke.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Nikita, Jaden & Alex, Alex is just her ticket out of here

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Law and Order: UK, Matt & Alesha, damaged goods

[galindaxxxx.livejournal.com]

She's skittish, for a long while, around everyone, even him; Matt tries to adjust, and he does very well: he doesn't touch her suddenly or come up behind her with a wolfish grin on his face and say something flirty, no, Matt is gentle with Alesha, and he will be for as long as she needs him to be.

It is a long while, but eventually, she comes back to him; she touches his hand now and even smiles for him, except for when she looks at him n earnest, her hand over his and asks, "Doesn't it bother you that--"

"Never."

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Torchwood, Jack, "I can live forever and it's killing me."

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

As Jack stands over another grave, looking out at the endless cemetery (it's what this planet might as well be), he feels heavy as he's empty, and the dull ache in his chest turns sharp. He can feel the wind shift, and soon there will be no one left (no one except him), and there's nothing he can do about it.

He takes one last look at the grave before flipping open his wrist strap, and thinks about a simpler time, mumbling, "Time to get out before volcano day."

Star Trek, any/any, will you be there when I fall?

[galindaxxxx.livejournal.com]

It's kind of unspoken, when Jim asks him to be his CMO on the Enterprise. Kirk doesn't have to say "I want you by myside, Bones," because Bones knows that Jim won't say that as much as he means it.

"Yes, Jimbo," Bones says-but-doesn't-say, "I'll be here to catch you when you fall."

Narnia, Edlyn, come as you are/surrender your heart/you're broken and beautiful

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

You are a child who made a mistake; you are a traitor, hear it whispered in your shadows, claim the word (it will make you stronger); you are surly and moody, you want nothing to do with your family; you love them so fiercely that there is nothing you wouldn't do for them (you love one too much, soul-deep, cut into your heart); you are a diplomat, you are too angry to watch your words; you are compassionate and you are unbearably cruel (people are far too simple to read); you are strong, and you are half-shattered, broken.

You fight and you kill, you lie, cheat and steal; you protect, you die, you love.

You are a queen, damn it, and there is none better than you.

Battlestar Galactica, Dee, the things she knows

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Susan, she has always loved the sunrise

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

There is no question that Lucy was made for golden afternoons, bright with sunshine that is never quite as bright as her smile; Edmund loves the night, quiet and dark, a cover for his sins and his triumphs in one; Peter prefers the soft fall of evening when the sky is slowly leeched of its blue, a time for him to breathe a moment and drink in the crisp Narnian air.

Susan revels in still mornings, empty and solely hers; the sun slips into the sky with hesitance (a hesitance she likes to think is for her, so that her morning can stay just a little longer), streaking gold and pink with abandon; she takes her bow onto the practice fields, draws and releases again and again until her wind-chilled fingers are limber once more.

Sunrise belongs to Susan.

Battlestar Galactica, Kara/Lee, happy ending AU

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Narnia/Merlin, Edmund/Morgana, the price of wisdom

[wingedflight21.livejournal.com]

She wakes from a dream so strong the bracelet cannot block it, and stumbles out into the hall in nothing but her dressing gown, not thinking clearly in her haste to reach her sister. She does not realize he is in the corridor until he catches her arm and pulls her around, staring deep into her eyes as though searching for something.

When he releases her, Morgana stumbles back and rubs away the red mark; she barely feels surprise when he says with complete understanding, "Dreams can be a bitch."

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter, Percy, the quiet kind of defiance

[laeria.livejournal.com]

They brought Penny in - his own chipped-toothed, Charms-loving, lesbian-after-all first love - and Percy was, finally, ready to speak out, call them murderers, go out in a blaze of glory. Instead he bought her a secret glass of water and quickly but precisely forged papers proving she was descended from an expatriate branch of Longbottoms. She went along with it, miraculously, and smiled at him, just before they let her go, and for the first time in his life, Percy knew he was where he belonged: an assistant to evil, committing criminal fraud.

Ocean's Eleven, Linus, look what I can do right under your noses

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Linus looks sweet, innocent, and fairly incompetent.

It makes perching up on a bridge and watching the slow realization down a road he'd just played even more sweet to him.

"Enjoying yourself?" Rusty says, and Linus blinks and looks over.

The bastard is holding Linus' wallet and eating a hotdog, and Linus considers strangling him until he realizes that Rusty picked Linus' decoy wallet.

"Yeah," he says. "Can I have my fake back?"

It's totally worth letting one of his secrets slip for the disconcerted look on Rusty's face, and not childish at all, okay.

Narnia, girl!Edmund/Peter, your guilt is adorable, but unnecessary

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

"It's wrong, what we're doing," Peter protests, and pushes her away, "I mean, you're my sister and the things I want to do could not be spoken in polite company."

"You worry too much," Edlyn answers immediately, gently pushing him backwards and laying kisses on his chest. "Here, no one is judged for love, especially a love as true as this is."

The West Wing, Sam Seaborn, words can move mountains

[anysomething.livejournal.com]

He wrote a book about dogs in third grade; it was only eight pages and illustrated in crayon, but Sam couldn't have been prouder. "My brilliant boy," his mother had whispered into his hair, beaming, "you will do great things one day, I know it."

Sam remembers this, remembers it out if nowhere, when he opens a word document and hesitantly types, "My fellow Americans..."

Circle of Magic, Briar/Tris, they're the last to figure it out
