Welcome to the Three Sentence Fic-A-Thon:

[caramelsilver]

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!

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

Edit December 10th: Thanks to the brilliant grim_lupine we now have a delicious account. So head on over there to find some unfilled prompts: three_sentence_ficathon's delicious bookmarks.

A small note from grim_lupine who's organizing the delicious archive: "So I'm not familiar with all the fandoms here; sometimes when people post a ficlet they abbreviate a fandom and sometimes they don't (like BSG versus Battlestar Galactica, but I know that one) so I might have it listed twice in the delicious tags. If someone notices something messed up they can comment below." -- So do that, and when requesting something new, please use the fandom's whole name.

Bollywood fic: Rock On!, Aditya/Joe, Author's choice (I'm easy)

[thene]

James Bond, any crossover slash pairing; the high life.

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

In which parenthetical asides are woefully abused.


James is meant to be finding out the truth about Iron Man (read: how England can best profit from him), and to that end he supposes a case could be made for sharing a drink (or several) with Tony Stark.

Their eyes meet over their glasses, and James sees the wry twist of his smile reflected on Stark's face.

Really, it's just an excuse to live the high life (and all that entails) for as long as Her Majesty's Secret Service gives him (he plans to enjoy every moment).

Grey's Anatomy, Meredith and Alex, friendship

[vexatively.livejournal.com]

Meredith passes off whatever she and Alex had between them as friendship. Derek pretends not to notice when her voice grows high-pitched and loud as Alex brushes by her, too close even in the narrow hospital hallways.

"We're just friends," she insists, even as Derek watches Meredith watches Alex walk away.

ohmigod ohmigod ohmigod thank you you rock for this

Um. So I know you might have wanted actual friendship for this prompt. But close enough, right?

Author's Choice, Jack/Rose, fly

[vexatively.livejournal.com]

Rose would choose another disastrous trip on an unsinkable boat over flying in a heartbeat. It wasn't the literal sense as much as its fickle nature: bringing her high, but never high enough, and falling, falling, falling afterwards...

And then Rose remembers a time when she hadn't minded so much, when Jack had been there to catch her when she fell.

Othello, Desdemona, ever faithful

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Desdemona is cruel and spiteful, an avenging angel hellbent on retribution. She is a temptress and a conspirator and a manipulator. But most of all, she is ever loyal, ever faithful.

Star Trek, Kevin Riley, starving

Magic's Pawn, 'Lendel/Staven, unison

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Magic's Pawn, Moondance, lightning echoes through his dreams

[thene]

Whenever the storms come, Moondance climbs the trees to be with his shay'kreth'ashke. It feels...safer, to be huddled against his beloved's back, to feel the wind shaking their shelter but never able to reach inside it.

It's safer than being alone downstairs, remembering and reliving as he listens to the lightning echoing through his dreams, and knowing why he cannot, will not, ever truly trust himself.

Magic's Pawn, Vanyel/Yfandes, resentment

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, McCoy, Sometimes he thinks he must be crazy

[les342.livejournal.com]

Sometimes Leonard thinks he must be crazy and mostly blames it on Jim, who forcibly inserted himself into his life, slowly but surely tearing down the walls Leonard had built around his heart. It was something that he had suspected for a while, but only knew for sure when he went back to get Jim so that he could sneak him on to the Enterprise. He knew without a doubt, Kobayashi Maru, the hearing, and Jim's suspension be damned, that he would do whatever it took to keep Jim by his side.

Magic's Pawn, Vanyel, tears dried on his face

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Biblical, Saul, blinded by the light

[phlogistics.livejournal.com]

Saul was used to being hateful- it was part of his job, really. It made it easier to tell himself that he was doing the right thing (even though that annoying little voice he'd been told just may've been his conscience kept telling him that no, it wasn't right, not at all)- if he hated those "Christians" it was much easier to kill them. But then their God decided to shine down the sun into his eyes and blind him and change his life and make his stupid conscience dance around singing "I told you so" and make him belive- and part of him would always hate their God (his God, too, the voice said) for making Paul hate who he had been so much.

(I hope this was okay. :) It was kind of odd to write, as I'm not religious, but I hope you enjoyed it.)

Othello, Desdemona/Bianca, sing the swan

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I meant Desdemona/Emilia! I don't want this fair and blameless lady hanging out with a prostitute. Though that would be pretty cool if anyone wants to do it.

(I'm so sorry, I just can't stop)

Magic's Pawn, Vanyel, "Some say the world will end in fire/ some say in ice" (Robert Frost)

Star Trek, Kirk/Bones/Spock, light at the end of the tunnel

[rinfics.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, Spock, Jim says (the one hand crushing his own in a death grip the only sign betraying how much pain his captain must be in), we'll get out of this mess sooner or later--you know Bones will kill us if we die without him.

He presses the gauze pad more firmly against the still bleeding wound in Jim's abdomen (the additional pressure causing his captain to let out a soft hiss) and replies: Jim, you are being illogical--Doctor McCoy cannot attempt to take our lives if we are already dead.

Suddenly there is a burst of light and a cacophony of voices coming from the previously blocked entrance of the cave they were trapped in (Leonard was leading the cavalry, hypospray and tricorder like sword and shield in his hands), and Jim grins at him and says: our knight in shining armor; he nods and replies: indeed.

Star Trek, Kirk, clinging to the edge

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

Kirk has clung to the edge of more cliffs than he can count, but that doesn't mean he's ever going to get used to it--the dizzying rush of adrenalin and fear, the thought that this time he might slip coupled with the knowledge that he never has before...

He breathes, quick and deep, through his nose and hoists himself back onto solid ground, away from the lava bubbling far below. Around him, the battle rages unabated, and when he fires off a shot that fells one of the enemy, his hands only shake a little.

Doctor Who, Rose, rain with her teardrops

[metonomia.livejournal.com]

She remembers a time when her tears were born of the most beautiful pain anyone could feel, when the pure light of Eternity dried them as they fell. These new tears are more natural and much more difficult to bear, hidden among the sheeting rain but staining her cheeks and her heart. She has been left alone, and neither her beloved Doctor nor Time can stop this flood.

Harry Potter, Albus/Gellert, hidden

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

It's all about secrets and hiding with them--hidden smiles, the hungry, wicked ones Gellert means only for Albus; hidden touches, the slow brush of Gellert's hand against his bare stomach when they lie shirtless in the summer heat; hidden words, do you see how good we are together?, breathed lightly against Albus' open, gasping mouth.

Albus hides the extent to which Gellert's words inflame him, how his golden-bell laugh rakes down his spine like the stinging pain/pleasure of Gellert's nails on his skin; and as for Gellert?

Albus does not let himself wonder what Gellert is hiding.

Criminal Minds, Hotch/Reid, given up

Ficlet!

[wingstar102.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds
Hotch/Reid
"given up"

Hotch had long ago given up everything of his heart and soul to the fearsome mind of Spencer Reid, to be tucked away in some protected corner for all time. Hotch found it ironic that as he fumbled around, trying to learn every millimeter of skin under his calloused hands, Spencer had already learned every part of Hotch by sight and was just reacquainting with it by feel. Hotch grinned as he thought about it and decided that he really didn't mind.

Naruto, Naruto/Sasuke, priorities

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Sasuke is Naruto's alpha and omega, his beginning and his end. Finding Sasuke and bringing him back will be his first priority even if the world burns around him. Sasuke doesn't have priorities, doesn't have friends, doesn't have lovers; all he has is revenge.

Jesus Christ Superstar, Jesus/Judas, pretending

Magic's Pawn, Vanyel, change of heart

Star Trek XI, Kirk/McCoy, it's always been you

[samueljames]

"You want this" Bones asks half-afraid that Jim is about to reveal some elaborate trick now that he's gotten Bones to confess his feelings."

Jim nods and kisses Bones softly, "you are the most stubborn, brilliant man I know and whenever I've needed a friend or someone to rely on it's always been you who was there for me, may have taken me far too long to realise it but what we have some people never get."

Bones is surprised to have this declaration from Jim but sees no mocking in those blue eyes as he pulls Jim close and kisses him again marveling at the sensation of Jim's lips on his, when they break the kiss he has to have the final word "about damn time."

[les342.livejournal.com]

Star Trek XI, Kirk/McCoy, It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

It's so much, Jim thinks inanely, hand clenched at his side in a vain attempt to staunch the flow of blood, christ what a stupid way to go; and isn't it funny, isn't it, that after years of almost throwing himself into death's ready embrace, he finds out just how much he doesn't want to go?

"Jim, you're going to be fine, kid; I'm going to tear you a new one when all this is done," he can hear Bones chanting in his ear, voice thick with all the things they've never said to one another--and maybe it's time they do.

"Love you, Bones," Jim murmurs, and everything's fading to black like this is the end of his story, but he's wrapped up in Bones' arms and he can't feel anything but the quick rise-fall of Bones' chest behind him; and everything's going to be fine.

Chronicles of Narnia, Edmund, hidden knives.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

A knife is handy to have--Edmund has learned the quickflash draw of metal from its sheath, press against the enemy's throat, do not draw blood unless there is no other option. In Narnia he has the knife at his waist, and the knives he makes of his ever-ready words, no less dangerous for all that their danger is hidden.

When they fall out of the wardrobe back into a time that is no longer truly theirs, Edmund feels a loss, heavy in its absence: weapons are no longer appropriate, danger here is insidious and sly, not so bold-faced that he can carry a knife in his too-small hands--he will have to content himself with words.
