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.

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Jonny, his (and/or his friends') reaction to the rumors of Zac Efron being hired to play him (http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/02/16/rumor-zac-efron-and-dwayne-johnson-for-jonny-quest/) XD

in which his friends are no help

"It's an improvement on your face, I suppose," Jessie shrugs.

"I'd like to see him outrun me on a Questworld hovercraft," Jonny mutters, "'cos you know they're just gonna do all that in CGI."

"To be fair," Hadji says, "Questworld is pretty much all CGI."

Captain Planet, Wheeler/Linka, how to save the world

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Little pieces at a time. Don't worry about Gaia's death, it's just another piece in the scheme of things. What mattered was not the power she granted you, or Captain Planet - it was you, the five of you, and even if you only see Wheeler these days you can all still save the world.

NCIS, DiNozzo and McGee, friendship

[samueljames]

Somehow without realising it Tim finds himself consulting Tony over his next Deep Six novel as Tony insists Tommy should get the girl this time. Tim knows that Tony wants Tommy to get the happy ending he missed out on with Jeanne and he listens as Tony opens up about her interspersed with jokes and quotes in an effort to mask some of his pain. Tim wants to help his friend without making Tony feel awkward but Tony's just glad he opened up at all instead of leaving it to fester like he normally would, he knows he can trust Tim.

Harry Potter, Luna, whimsy

Daydream Believer

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

They’re in a boat on a river made of glass and golden snitches, and Dean tints the dreamworld with an enchanted paintbrush as he and Luna drift along—with the rainbow-shattered sun in her eyes, she points at the Quidditch goalposts towering far above them, where Harry and Ron and Ginny are aloft on dragons and laughing madly; and Dean barely blinks at the sight of a glaze-eyed Hermione hovering past them on a magic carpet made out of books; while on the shore, Neville gallops astride on the back of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack, wielding a blazing sword.

They pass what looks like a rickety train station, and Luna waves at her mirror image, the silvery-haired woman who is sitting there as though she’s always been waiting and always will be, and Dean swallows over the lump in his throat and takes Luna’s hand.

She is laughing as she dabs a bit of enchanted paint on his nose; and he smiles and keeps his eyes open, losing himself in kaleidoscope eyes and her daydream charm for just a little while longer.

**

(I hope you don’t mind Dean Thomas/Luna? :p I’m not sure about the mechanics of Patented Daydream Charms, so I just winged it ;) And just so you know, I was totally listening to “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” as I wrote this.)

Othello, Iago(/Othello), that which shall not be named

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

(I love you)

Oh look at the sweet little maid before me,
Who speaks not the words I've slipped in his mind.
What goodness is this, o whore of denial?
Thou must not know how well I know thy husband.

Batman, Joker/Batman, all fun and games until...

[lettersandliars.livejournal.com]

wasn't sure what verse you wanted, so i hope this is okay.

"Strong silent type, eh? I like that in a man."

Batman doesn't respond, just drags him along, a little closer to Arkham and a padded cell with every step.

"Oh, come off it, Bat-brain. I didn't actually take your little bird's eye out, there's no reason we can't be friendly! Still, it is the thought that counts."

Merlin, Merlin, Before he got down to the Middle Ages, he was the crazy guy muttering to himself at the back of the bus

[betweenthebliss.livejournal.com]

The twenty-fifth century had been rubbish, thought Merlin, but it was nothing compared to this; relegated to the last row of a crowded bus somewhere west of Cleveland, watching the architecture of 1985 pass him by. He looked seventy but felt seven hundred, and wanted nothing so badly as a hot bath and a soft bed-- but it was two hundred miles to his destination, and he knew those famous words that spoke of miles to go and promises to keep.

He knew what he was meant for, knew what promise waited for him at the end of this long line; he murmured the words softly to himself, rex quondam rexque futurus, over and over again until they lulled him into a light sleep.

Bones, Booth/Brennan, UST

[pleonasm]

She doesn't know the right words for the tension, so she doesn't say anything about it, because Brennan wants to be confident in debate, and to know all the facts beforehand.

But there's something in the way he watches her, his face closed but his eyes sharp, the way his gaze lingers over her hands when she gestures, the spark of amusement that rests in all but their most fierce arguments, and Brennan does not understand this. She does not understand people, and Booth never hesitates to remind her of this, but she's beginning to think it's more upsetting that she doesn't understand him, and she doesn't know why that should be true, but it is.

Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, That which is done cannot be undone

[faorism.livejournal.com]

Why do I get the feeling you are baiting me? lol~

There! a velvety sheathe--burning auburn in the dim candlelight--surreptitiously embalming my hands with their slick, hot gore. Wash it away; away you shall go! My flesh will not be muddied by this mess for longer.

Chronicles of Narnia/The Lion King, Edmund and Simba, allies

(because, Talking Beasts!)

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

"You know how He isn't a tame lion?" Mrs. Beaver hisses at her husband. "I don't think he is either."

They watch the lion and the king bow to each other, both faces solemn.

Merchant of Venice, Antonio(/Bassanio), To which the answer is no

[faorism.livejournal.com]

Author's choice, Author's choice, "You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Supernatural, Dean, Inigo Montoya

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Sam asks Dean to make a run to the nearest Blockbuster; Dean knows perfectly well it's to get him out of the way for a bit while Sam raids Bobby's library again, but they're pretty much stuck at Bobby's till Sam's shoulder heals and therefore the library raids will happen regardless, and anyway Dean's bored, so it's not a problem. Dean scoffs when he passes the Star Wars Special Edition DVD and spends a cheerful ten minutes arguing with a nearby customer over same (in conclusion, Han shot first; anybody who thinks otherwise was apparently watching the shortest movie trilogy in history instead of the movies Dean saw), then stops next to the movies with titles beginning in P. "It's not a lot of money in revenge" and "never get involved in a land war in Asia; never go up against a [Winchester] when [the life of another Winchester] is on the line" and "I want my father back, you son of a bitch": Dean grins bright and broad (it's only been six weeks; yeah, he's got other things to worry about, but he's entitled to still be riding that high) and grabs the box off the shelf.

Supernatural, Sam and Dean, Jedi Knights!AU: "Hey! You can't do that in a duel!"

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Sam's green lightsaber hums, whirls, crackles against the red of one Sith and the yellow of the other, thrust and parry and twist and dive and there his signal: two blaster bolts sizzle past Sam's ear and take the second Sith between the eyes as Sam knocks the head off the first one's shoulders. Both corpses are wide-eyed, betrayed—Sam's lightsaber is the only one still on. Sam switches it off and gives Dean a thumbs-up without looking; no one's ever accused Winchesters of playing fair.

Narnia, Lucy, most unladylike

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

"Lucy, you must learn how to act like a lady," Susan tells her sharply, and it stings at Lucy's heart. She can see the old pain in Susan's eyes, knows she has not forgotten Narnia no matter how much she purports to, but Lucy is hurting too; she feels like a woman grown but must act like a child, and here at least she should be able to drop that constricting pretense.

"In Narnia we threw daggers and fought alongside our brothers in battle," she says bitingly, "and we ruled as queens and ladies; you were a lady then, Susan, when you wore no lipstick and you could draw your bow in your sleep."

Doctor Who, Doctor, He gets the "George Bailey" effect one christmas.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

mythology, Narcissus/lake, "she was false as water" "thou art rash as fire to say that she was false"

[faorism.livejournal.com]

I see me—I see her—I see love and glory and beauty: her dewy hair; my hazel eyes; our pert breasts. Touch her—touch me and we laugh with equal mirth. Want her; love her; am her; am me.

Last Herald Mage, 'Lendel/Gala, Companions don't Choose murderers

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, "let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand"

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

There's light burning through his closed eyes, and the sort of screaming Dean knows is caused by burning flesh, and then things go silent.

When he opens his eyes, Castiel is still standing in the middle of the room, and then he sways just a little bit before turning around.

"They have been taken care of," he says, voice gravelly, and Dean blinks twice and instinctively reaches his hand out as Castiel approaches.

Shelter, Shaun, maybe Zach isn't ready for this.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Zach's not the only one who's afraid of this thing between them (just call it falling head-over-heels in love, there's nothing else he can call it when it feels like there's a hole in his chest when they're not together), but Shaun's not afraid for the reasons Zach might think; it's not that he doesn't want Zach (he does, wants him so much he can't breathe at times), and it's not that he doesn't want the responsibility of taking care of Cody (Cody's the most special kid he's ever met, and sometimes he wants to find Jeanne and shake her until she makes him understand how she could possibly let Cody go).

Shaun's afraid that Zach isn't ready, that maybe he pushed Zach into this; he's afraid that one day Zach will look around him and want something different, and Shaun will be left with memories and a hole in his chest.

"You think too much," Zach murmurs into the curve of his shoulder, brushing a gentle kiss onto his skin and wrapping an arm around him; Shaun strokes a hand over the length of his back and lets his worries burn away.

[samueljames]

Get Real, John/Steven, they've made it this far.
