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.

Othello, Iago/Othello, jealousy is the green-eyed monster that mocks the meat it feeds on

[faorism.livejournal.com]

At the foot of my bed, a man with a broken heart (and now a trail of drying cum running down his thighs) sits still, so aghast at his own actions that he does naught but utter, "Honest Iago, what have I done," again--and again--and again in a melody of sinful regret. I, in turn, whisper in his ear, "Nothing, my king, you have done nothing; I have done nothing; this we both know." And to this nothing, I slip my hand between his legs, knowing that this I have as my own.

Harry Potter, Oliver/Percy, acceptance.

[rinfics.livejournal.com]

Percy meets Oliver's eyes and wills him to understand--he loves him still; he will always love him; the will be no one else like Oliver in his life--and he opens his mouth to explain but Oliver is faster, one finger against his lips, and he can feel the roughness of Oliver's calloused finger and he closes his eyes at the touch--in other places, in another time, where there was need and fire and the sweat of two bodies and the scent of sex.

Oliver's eyes are sad but kind--it's all right; I understand; I just want you to be happy--and Oliver rubs his finger against his lips, back and forth, back and forth--one last time, do you remember what it feels like--and then that fleeting touch is gone and he can hear the chair creak as Oliver leans back, can almost see the smile in his face when he says: "Name the first one after me, yeah?"

Then he hears the sound of a coin being dropped on the table and the chair being pushed back and footsteps walking away from him--goodbye, goodbye--and he opens his eyes, blinks back the tears, and apparates back to the Burrow.

Glee, Will/Emma, happiness.

[lettersandliars.livejournal.com]

There's the fact that Ken all but spits at Will when he sees him in the halls nowadays, and that stings more than expected.

There's also the fact that Terri's threats have prompted Emma to change her phone number three times and sleep with a can of pepper spray under her pillow.

Underneath that, though, there's that one time that Will brought coffee and bagels and they let Sunday afternoon take them, all curled on Emma's couch with the radio playing softly, Will humming along, and they're pretty sure that things will work out in the end.

[samueljames]

Good Will Hunting, Will, happiness scares him.

[samueljames]

Star Trek, Jim/Bones, celebration.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

It's his birthday and he's just been promoted to Admiral so he should be happy. But it's also the anniversary of his father's sacrifice and the last time he'll see his ship (lovely lady that she is) for a long while. But then Bones comes into his cabin to warn him of "Romulans bearing gifts" and he can't help but be happy.

(Is that Ianto in your icon, by the way?)

10 Things I Hate About You, Kat/Patrick, picnic.

[samueljames]

Ocean's Eleven, Linus/Rusty, "well that was unexpected."

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

"You're taking me to a movie? Isn't that kind of high school?" Linus asks, raising an eyebrow and trying to pretend he isn't shyly pleased at the thought; Rusty smirks at him and says, "I figured I'd evade Bobby's wrath by taking you on a real date."

They walk up to the ticket counter, and Linus says easily, "I'll get this, you get the concessions," and it isn't until almost a minute later that Rusty realizes it's his wallet in Linus's hand.

He doesn't bother hiding his amusement and admiration when he says, "Well, that was unexpected," and Linus grins at him brightly and tells him, "I don't want you getting bored with me." Rusty looks him up and down until he starts turning pink, and says, "Kid, I don't think that's going to be a problem."

(Grr, I couldn't make this three sentences. So have an extra one. :D)

Shelter, Zach/Shaun, romance

[samueljames]

He'd been so nervous that first Valentine's Day handing over his gift unsure of what Shaun would say, he'd been to the mall with its cards, roses and ridiculously priced chocolates and none of it was them, they didn't fit with any pre-conceived notions of romance. Shaun's smile is huge as he looks at the drawing Zach did and Zach realises why because Shaun's card contains a poem for him. Heated kisses are exchanged and then they head for the bedroom, they don't mind upholding some Valentine's traditions.

[figaro23.livejournal.com]

Shelter, Zach/Shaun, domestic

[samueljames]

Sure the special occasions are great, birthdays and anniversaries are important but they aren't Shaun's favourite moments. The moments that he enjoys best are when he and Zach sit quietly working on their respective writing and art projects while sneaking little glances at each other. It's been ten years now and those looks from Zach still get his heart racing and then it's just a matter of who will crack and make the first move, not that either one really minds the distraction.

[figaro23.livejournal.com]

Shelter, Zach/Shaun, experience

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Shaun finds it doesn't even matter how much more experience he might have over Zach; just the shy brush of Zach's fingers over Shaun's lips is enough to get his heart jumping out of his chest.

He finds that mornings when they wake up together, all he wants to do is kiss Zach endlessly until neither of them can breathe, until their lips are swollen and tender and they taste only each other.

"Tell me what to do," Zach says, biting his lower lip, hands hesitant but insistent nonetheless; Shaun smiles at him, bright with all the love he has, and tells him, "We'll learn each other, together."

[figaro23.livejournal.com]

Shelter, Zach/Shaun, new to me

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

"This is, I don't--" Zach breaks off, takes a breath and starts over, "I'm not used to getting what I want; I'm not used to being happy." He smiles, a little tremulous, hands coming up to clasp around Shaun's neck. Shaun nudges their noses together and brushes his mouth softly over Zach's own, whispering, "That's all I ever want for you, Zach; If I have my way you and Cody won't ever have anything but happiness ever again."

He looks utterly certain and resolute, like everything Zach's ever wanted and someone he can trust, someone he can let himself believe in.

Star Trek, Jim/Bones, We just won't let this break us

Vaguely in the region of your prompt

[samueljames]

Most of their classmates are gone and they feel as if they shouldn't grieve because Earth is safe and Vulcan is gone. Jim's almost died countless times, Bones works for hours to stabilise Pike and yet the worry is still there about what the future holds. Bones hasn't told Jim but if they suspend him Bones is going too, Jim's the only reason he's made it this far.

Othello, Iago, when he first suspected what this feeling was

[faorism.livejournal.com]

My hands, just too small disks of flesh, clenched and unclenched; flexed and twittered with a vague attempt to grasp the very copper-tinted air I took within myself with every breathe. At my feet lay a mangled feathery mass--dead weight--an eye sore--something that was not worth my time to wring.

I was only seven, but I vowed never again to let my hands touch such filth again.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Shelter, Shaun/Zach and Cody, Christmas morning

[samueljames]

Cody's eyes are wide when he sees all his Santa presents as if he's never seen so much stuff before and Shaun realises he probably hadn't. Zach looks so happy at Cody's reactions even if they had disagreed over how much to spend. He turns to Shaun and hugs him whispering thanks, presents don't make everything better but Cody deserves to be spoiled every once in a while.

Merlin/Twilight, Merlin/Alice, They're both haunted by the future

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

"It's easier with someone to keep you in the present," Alice says, touching his sleeve, but Merlin just looks through her. She waits, knowing what he will say already.

("I'm afraid I'll have to wait for that, but - rex quondam rexque futurus, you know.")

Doctor Who, Brother-of-Mine, Headpiece filled with straw -- Alas!

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

anthropomorphic objects, rain/dew, blushing maiden

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

The dew is new and young, and the tiniest thing that the rain has ever seen, her hair glistening like the droplets on the flower she holds out shyly.

"Thank you," the rain says, accepting the flower. The dew stands awkwardly, shuffling her feet, and the rain holds out her arms, "Come here."

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Jane Eyre, Jane, The red room

[faorism.livejournal.com]

Squee!

A darkness--the shadow of light--the need for a compassionate sprawl across my heart: this I learned in my entrapment. I rebelled and repelled and recovered whatever hope I had left, only to be shamed and beaten and forever treated like the rubbish I am not meant to be. But I shall go on.

[samueljames]

Hamlet, Horatio/Hamlet, secret.

[faorism.livejournal.com]

Oh, Horatio/Hamlet, how I love thee!

Oh, my friend! the one true king! how you tremble within my arms tightly wound about your thin, ghastly form. Blood--you--my trusted companion--your essence seeps down onto my clothes and I wish to push you away and flee from the gore and not see you in these moments--I want the man whom I pledged my allegiance to so long ago back: not you, a sack of emptying mass. But I stay, and you award me with that which you always kept but a breath away: your lips against mine--and you depart with me as your last memory.

[samueljames]

Angel, Spike/Lindsey, roleplaying.

[samueljames]

Torchwood, Owen/Ianto, hatesex.

[flash-indie.livejournal.com]

The lack of intimacy would be disconcerting really, if Ianto could think beyond himself and the wall, and Owen trapped between them, angry and hurt and more than a little physical, emotional, messy.

“Don’t think this means I like you,” Owen hisses, all teeth and angles, even in the half light of the hub.

Ianto doesn’t reply, but it would be rather disturbing to think of Owen affectionately, so he bites him instead, crowds him further and is rather glad for the height difference.

[samueljames]

That '70s Show, Hyde/Eric, "why'd you kiss me?"

[notoriousreign.livejournal.com]

Hyde backed away, trying to pretend that his face wasn't going red from what had just happened.
"Why'd you kiss me?" he asked, bewildered, even though he was fully aware that Eric was ready for the answer.
He shrugged in front of him, crossing his arms almost in self-defense, "I dunno... felt like a long-time coming."

Supernatural, Jamie/Cassie, Bechdel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dykes_to_Watch_Out_For#The_Bechdel_test)

[samueljames]

Numb3rs, Don/Colby, surprised.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who, Rose/Ten, when the wall slips past their fingers
