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.

Master and Commander, Jack/Stephen, married at sea

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

The crew jokes about Captain Jack and Dr. Maturin's relationship. They say Jack has two wives- one on land and one on sea. Little do they know how right they are.

Macdonald Hall, Cathy/Diane, cross-dressing

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

"Look, I just want to go on a date with you while you look like, you know, you," Diane says desperately, wondering if she's completely insane for being so head-over-heels in love with someone so crazy.

"I know you do, and we will," Cathy says without looking away from the mirror, tucking her hair neatly up into a cap and adjusting her tie, "but I want to see if I can fool Bruno and Boots with this getup."

She looks at Diane and smiles; "I love you, and we have all the time in the world for normal dates, so please come help me bind up my chest?" she asks plaintively, and somehow Diane falls in love all over again.

(XD WHAT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I JUST WROTE, BUT CATHY AND DIANE ARE AWESOME)

Macdonald Hall, Scrimmage & Sturgeon, THIS IS THE LAST STRAW

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

"This is the last straw," Miss Scrimmage seethes, looking like a ruffled cat about to have an apoplexy, "I have just found one of your hooligans accosting the innocent young ladies in my school, and I will not stand for it!"

"Your 'young ladies' wouldn't know innocence if it danced in front of them in a tutu, madam," Mr. Sturgeon says icily, "and I will thank you kindly not to bring your shotgun upon these premises."

("Okay," Cathy says complacently, pulling away from a shell-shocked Boots, "Just kiss Bruno like that, and we can all stop being smothered in sexual tension.")

Macdonald Hall, Elmer Drimsdale, you can't solve this with science OR CAN YOU??

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Elmer has full faith in the powers of science, but he is unsure if even they can help rectify this situation; Bruno and Boots clearly harbor a great deal of affection for one another, and yet neither is willing to admit it to the other. Elmer fears that in Bruno and Boots, science may have met its match; or maybe...

"Elmer, what are you doing?" Boots asks curiously, blushing furiously when his hand accidentally brushes against Bruno's, and jumping away from him like he's been electrocuted; "Testing my mind-reading device," Elmer says absently, "Gentlemen, I need test subjects."

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Macdonald Hall, Bruno/Boots, aaaaawkward

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

When he hears a dry cough from behind him, Bruno freezes, and slowly withdraws his hand from where it had been wandering up Boots's shirt; Boots is looking over Bruno's shoulder, and his face looks like it can't decide between going tomato-red or the color of old milk.

"Well," Mr. Sturgeon says from behind him, "I can't exactly say that I'm surprised, and I suppose I'm happy for you boys if it will keep you from the kind of trouble that is slowly making me lose my hair; but you do have a room for a reason."

"Yessir, we're going," Boots says frantically, and after dragging Bruno away, he hisses, "Oh, yes, Bruno, making out under the stars is so romantic."

Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Jonny/Jessie/Hadji, dessert

[nevacaruso.livejournal.com]

It's Jessie's eighteenth birthday, and the celebration has gone as scheduled without any mad scientists or sea monsters trying to crash the party. When she blew out the candles on her cake, she wished for the same thing that she always does - for her family to still be together after another year - and Hadji licked frosting off her nose when he kissed her, and Jonny rolled his eyes in mock disgust.

Later, when the three of them are sprawled over each other on the couch, she lets herself stop thinking about what the next year will bring.

Harry Potter, Neville, will you join in our crusade, who'll be strong and stand with me? Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

He's always led a sheltered life - his grandmother made sure of that. But there comes a time when everyone is forced to grow up far too quickly - that's when he catches his first glimpse of the sky. It's stormy and violent, but it's something worth fighting towards, so it's him who rallies the students, even when the whole world is falling apart and everyone else is cowering in fear.

Macdonald Hall, Bruno/Boots, ten years later and they're still crazy (in love)

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Macdonald Hall, Bruno/Boots and Cathy/Diane, best double date in the WORLD :D

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Narnia/Macdonald Hall, Bruno and Edmund, mischief

(Ahahaha, OH GOD. IF SOMEONE WRITES THIS FOR ME, I WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER. :D FORGET PLAUSIBILITY, NO, REALLY.)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

"Stop that!" Edmund commands as Bruno swings the sword around. "It's just for show and we're not actually going to kill anyone at the meeting, all right?"

"I know, I know," Bruno says in an assuring tone as he nearly lops the head off a nearby faun.

White Collar, Neal Caffrey (Neal/Peter undertones are ♥), first day of freedom.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Four years go by in the blink of an eye. Neal watches as Lauren removes the GPS tracker from his ankle, and tries not to feel a ridiculous sense of loss; "So, now I guess you don't own me anymore?" he asks, trying for cheeky and hitting plaintive instead.

Peter looks at him and cuffs the back of his head lightly; "Please," Peter says, lips curving slyly, "like I ever needed the tracker for that."

[betweenthebliss.livejournal.com]

Carnivale, Ben Hawkins, justice.

[finkpishnets.livejournal.com]

Nothing exists in terms of 'right' or 'wrong' anymore, not out on the road following a set of rules he was never taught, a set of rules that change daily depending on where they are and what someone can get out of it. He can hear his mamma in his head sometimes, chanting about devils and sinners, and he wonders what she'd make of all this - the magic, the corrupt, the lost - and then he doesn't care because she was a bitch anyhow. They travel on, a family in their chaos, and they exist outside of any law because no law could hold them accountable besides their own, and Ben does wonder whether that's a form of justice in and of itself; the world turning around them as they stay still, trapped in a history none of them remember anyways.

[betweenthebliss.livejournal.com]

White Collar, Neal/Peter, "There's nothing wrong with enjoying the finer things in life."

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Peter knows what Neal would classify as 'the finer things in life'--the crisp cut of a well-tailored suit, the deep shine of jewels, the marked strokes of a rare valuable painting. These are the things he values, and says there's no harm in enjoying, and they're what get him into trouble time and time again.

Peter knows what he finds infinitely more valuable: the bright dimpled grin Neal reserves solely for Peter, free of any kind of pretense; the brilliant blue of his eyes when he's intent upon proving himself to Peter, totally unaware that there's no way he could prove himself any further; the way he looks at Peter sidelong, half-shy, like he's handing him his heart and warning him to be careful with it all at the same time--maybe these things won't get Peter arrested, but he knows they'll mire him in trouble all the same.

Firefly, Jayne/Inara, "you like the taste of danger".

[betweenthebliss.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Jo/Anna, grace. (post-5x10 is fine. ;__;)

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Joanna has elegance of form, of manner, of motion; Joanna has the good will of the only one bar the Father with the right to command the archangels; Joanna has the moral strength to say 'these are my mother and my brothers'; Joanna gets a stay of execution, long enough to know that her sacrifice is worth it and that she won't die alone; Joanna has, if anyone does, the unmerited love of God. Anna has only the never-ceasing Energizer-bunny drumbeat where her heart used to be.

These are the reasons the archangel Anael fell.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Hana-Kimi, Akiha/Umeda, grouchy but in love

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Anthropomorphized objects, Door/Wall, He's come unhinged

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

It's been a while in coming, the progression slow but sure. Every day, he drifted farther away--she told him to have a care, to take it easy, but though he heard he never listened. Now the Door's come unhinged and the distance between them (only inches but it may as well be miles) is too great for the Wall to bridge.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Epistemology, the knower/the thing that is known, never quite touching

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Physical Science, Solid/Gas/Liquid, really all the same

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Like the triune god of Christianity, they are essentially the same thing, but are different for the satisfaction of our love affair with division. For them to love each other, they must love themselves, and thus accept themselves -- their past, their present, their future. They hold us as we hold them: you rise from the water to breathe in the air, and in the end, the earth will open her arms to receive you.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

History, the past/the eyes of the present, to the victors go the spoils

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

"You have become too cynical," Now says gently, her hands light on Then's shoulders, and he sighs.

"You are too young," he says, "you will see soon."

"Never," Now says, laughing, "the world is too beautiful, and I am the moment."

Where the Wild Things Are (movie), Max and his sister, watching TV

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Where the Wild Things Are/Narnia, Max & Lucy, forest

[atruebluesky.livejournal.com]

Max didn’t know how long he sailed this time (months and years and hours and weeks and seconds and days) but he knows he isn’t back in the wild and raw world of his childhood; this place is something new and different, a world that speaks of ancient secrets and danger and the kind of magic Max only half believed in but was too young at heart to deny. He walks through the woods, eyeing the world around him carefully, praying to a deity he doesn’t believe in that he isn’t found by anything that threatens to eat him on a near daily basis.

Instead he stumbles across a girl standing by a lamppost that doesn’t belong there anymore then he does (even though they both do- if only because they don’t) and the girl smiles at him- a wide brilliant thing that makes it quite clear that she’s got a mind of her own and a spunky attitude that won't be denied anything- and says “Welcome to Narnia,” and all he can think is that she might have been the kind of wild he wanted but never knew he was looking for in the first place.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Where the Wild Things Are/Narnia, Max & Susan, a bite to eat

[weisquared.livejournal.com]

Susan heard Max growling and stomping upstairs: “More food!” he roared, “I’ve been gone for years and years.”

Her husband looked at her with an amused expression and asked, “He does understand what being sent to bed without supper means, right?”

Susan doesn’t join in the joke – for a moment, she heard her sister’s voice saying “I’m here. I’ve come back I’m all right” – and decided to bring him a plate of food, still hot.

CRACK Narnia/Supernatural, Castiel and Edmund, Castiel resurrects Edmund because NO ONE ELSE CAN STOP THE APOCALYPSE!

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

(Look at my pretty new Narnia icon! :D)

Edmund looks around him with interest, brushing flecks of dirt away from his clothing; "All right, I'll bite. What am I doing here?" he asks, lifting an eyebrow.

Castiel looks a touch put out at Edmund's nonchalance when confronted with an angel of the Lord; "I have raised you up from the ground to put an end to this battle around us; Lucifer must be stopped, or this world will end in fire and blood," he intones, looking extremely serious and intent.

Edmund shrugs his shoulders and says, "Give me ten minutes and it's done, but I'm going to want a bath afterward; I'm absolutely filthy."

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

Chronicles of Narnia, Edmund and Eustace, Jedi Knights!AU:"We're not turning Sith anytime soon!"

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

He does not expect to find his cousin sprawled across a large faintly purple rock, using the Force to make dust grains form shapes in the air above his hand.

"You're under arrest," Eustace declares loudly, trying to hide his nervousness by igniting his lightsaber, "for betraying the Order."

Edmund glances up at him, lazily, and says, "I wasn't aware that leaving was a betrayal."
