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.

Narnia, boy!Lucy and Peter, Peter trying to give him the talk about being ~responsible and boy!Lucy is like "free love, Peter!" XD

(Uh, since I just totaled up the ficlets I've been writing and realized I hit 75 [holy shit, I really have no life XD], I'm going to be TOTALLY SHAMELESS for a moment and beg someone to fill that prompt I gave a while ago, Edmund/Peter where Edmund uses sarcasm because Peter likes it so much. :D *pleading eyes* XD)

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Peter loved his youngest brother, he really did, but sometimes Lucas did not understand the concept of responsibility; maybe it was all his fault, after all Peter had been the one to say that Lucas should be allowed to be a child as long as possible, but this was starting to border on the ridiculous!

"Lucas, how could you throw a toga party while the Calormene are here, you know Ed has to put one of their people on trial tomorrow and the Calormene ambassador is not happy!" Peter seethed as he paced in front of his guilty looking brother.

"I was just trying to cheer everyone up," Lucas said, "a party always turns a frown you know," Lucas grinned, "even Calormenes deserve love, Peter!"

**
Totally cheated here. We don't count question and this ! (which I suddenly can't remember what's called. Better go to bed now.) as proper punctuation, do we? *sheepish*

My new favorite set of Pevensie's are now offically Peter, Sam, girl!Ed and Lucas. (we need to find a girl name for Ed, just because. We'll still call her Ed, but... I just need to give her a name... Any suggestions? I'm totally voting for Edlyn. It means small noble one!!!)

Edited for the second time: Or Edeline. (Yeah, I don't have a life either, and apparently I have insomnia too.)

True Blood, Eric/Jason, hard to resist.

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Peter girl!Ed boy!Susan and boy!Lucy, pickpocket!AU: confidence tricks.

Sam and Edlyn

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

I might write another with Peter and Lucas.

Sam is nervous - he hasn't picked a pocket in years, and if he messes up, it's all their necks on the line this time. Edlyn takes his his hand, "Don't worry," she says, her eyes dusky, "I'll cover for you."

So he fools himself to trust in his own skills and slips out into the crowd.

Chronicles of Narnia, all-male!Pevensies and female!Rabadash, it's not that we don't like her well no, actually, it is

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

I have written fic! But it turned into a thousand words, so I'll give you the link after I get it back from beta=)

Ocean's Eleven, Linus and Danny and Rusty, confidence is catching

Can't do this the justice it deserves but here's my attempt

[samueljames]

Attention to detail is important, it's how he picks his moments and can rob someone without them even noticing it but he wants to be involved more, prove he can do it all except some skills aren't about repeating an action till it's just right. Danny and Rusty possess this easy charm with charisma and confidence oozing from them that makes people want to be around them and gets people to tell them secrets they never intended divulging. After he's studied them a little more he sees that even behaviour can be practiced, spots the way they interact with people, flirting as a distraction or using false praise to flatter, he asks Rusty to help him because he likes being around them and if he can learn enough they'll never ask him to leave.

Narnia, Susan, She finally lets herself believe

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Sixty years old, Susan wakes from a dream of color-bright summers and a lion's mane, dancing trees that whispered their secrets in her ears, and a crown that sat atop her head like she had been born to wear it. "There's no such place as--" she says to herself, and her voice breaks before she can say the name; then: "Oh, those wretched--why did they have to leave me behind?"

She clenches her hands into fists, nails biting into her palms, but something has--something has changed inside her: "No," she whispers, "I am too old; lying to myself is no longer attractive, merely foolish," and when she catches her own reflection in the mirror above her dresser, for a moment she sees herself young and unwrinkled, bow in hand, fierce and gentle (Queen Susan the Gentle) all at once; she says plaintively, "Oh, Aslan," and the air around her reverberates with a lion's roar (once a Queen of Narnia, dear heart).

NCIS, Tony/Tim, major character death.

Star Trek Reboot, Uhura, one girl revolution

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

She's always considered herself a bit of a historian, so when she finds the Twentieth Century Beatles album she seizes on it immediately. It's true what they said, she muses as she's rocking out later that evening, They all want to change the world - all the worlds - and all too often communication gets in the way.

So she spins around the room, her own little revolution, and anyone who can't keep up with her orbit is just going to get left behind - Alright!

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Star Trek Reboot, Uhura, funerals

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Nyota has mixed feelings about funerals - on the one hand, she's sad that another friend is gone, but on the other, it's all a celebration of life so she feels a calming sense of joy.

And then the Enterprise and Nero and Vulcan and Spock happen and all that changes. As she hears the names of the cadets who were on the Farragut, she allows her tears to melt the hard knot of guilt for tricking her way into life.

Chronicles of Narnia/Avatar: The Last Airbender/Merlin, Zuko & Arthur & Peter, men of power

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. And heavier still is the head of a guilty man. Men of power are not infallible, no matter how hard they try to be.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter/Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko & Draco, everyone deserves a second change - I'm yours

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Avatar: The Last Airbender, Kyoshi, a private revolution

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Kyoshi will never be relegated to the sidelines, will never allow others to fight for her, and most certainly will not stand for tyranny. She sees what Chin is doing and witnesses as the leaders of her time wring their hands while he oppresses his people. If no one else will do anything than she will stop him herself, have her own private revolution.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Avatar: The Last Airbender, Mai, some girls don't feel a need to wait for war to send their lovers home

Uh, this ended up femmeslashy

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Mai was never some wilting flower, patiently waiting for her love to come home. She was a warrior in her own right and proud to be one. So when Ty Lee's mission with the Kyoshi warriors is taking longer than expected, she packs her bags, stashes her favorite weapons up her sleeves, and goes to fetch her erstwhile lover.

Monstrous Regiment, Polly/Mal, I'm not leaving till the battle's over

[pleonasm]

Mal saw Polly fall but she couldn't spare a second to think about it. Steel was in her future, from all sides, and she was probably fighting a losing battle but she'd foght more than one of those in her life, and would fight them until they were done and she and Polly could go home to the Duchess and be (not just women, not monsters, not soldiers, just be themselves-- if they could figure out who they still were under all this mud).

She hadn't had coffee since very early that morning, and blood and dirt and human stank in her nose, staining her skin, tracing across her now threadbare uniform; but she fought, she fought for Polly (who she hoped was only sleeping, even if she couldn't really believe that), she fought for her country and she fought for herself, the person whom she found it easiest to believe in-- and so Mal kept going.

Chronicles of Narnia, Susan, walking in the rain

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

The streets of London are cold and gray, but Susan loves it there. Rain is always refreshing because at least it's not snow - she's seen enough of that to last her a lifetime. And it never makes her think of death because her brothers and sisters are so alive, even though no one can see them.

BBC Merlin, Gwen, make of me a harbor

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Morgana's nightmares become worse as each day passes and no potion or tincture seems to help. And every day Morgana gets up and arms herself in all her finery, determined to take everyone else's burdens onto herself. Oh my lady, Gwen thinks, please let me in to be your safe harbor in troubled seas.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Chronicles of Narnia/Supernatural, Sam/Lucy(/Edmund), those who hold faith

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

"It's just--" the man starts, hunching over his drink, misery written into the uncomfortable curve of his back, "it's just that everything's going to hell, quite literally, and I want to--I have to believe there's a light at the end of it; I have to believe there's something good out there, or what's the point of it all?"

Lucy smooths a hand over his back compassionately, tells him softly, "There is, dear heart, never doubt that."

Edmund catches the man's eyes with his own, says to him intently, "Remember this: as long as you keep fighting, there is hope left in this world; nothing's ever too bleak to set right."

(Um, hope this made some sort of sense. XD This was an awesome prompt.)

anthropomorphic objects, oasis/desert, a place of refuge

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

The desert may be dry and dusty, but there's life in her yet, even if it's only the oasis who knows this. He writes poetry about the hidden streams of love she feeds to him and how her hair sparkles in the sun when she dances. No matter how far away he travels, she will always protect him from the people who want to steal his life.

A Christmas Carol, Ebeneezer and Clara, Can you forgive a stupid old man who doesn't want to be left out in the cold anymore?

Star Trek, Kirk/Bones, seafaring!AU

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Captain James Tiberius Kirk, renowned pirate of the sea with his trusty first mate Leonard 'Bones' McCoy--it's not the kind of life McCoy ever imagined for himself growing up; he'd learned his trade as a doctor and thought he'd found his place in life, until a persuasive young pirate captain with more charm than any one person should have kidnapped him onto his ship. It's probably telling that McCoy hasn't tried particularly hard to fight his way off the Enterprise, but he decides not to think too hard about that.

The sea around him is beautiful in its unpredictability (even as he's getting his sea legs and fighting not to be sick for the first week), and it's as blue as anything he's seen--but it still can't touch the brightness of Jim's eyes.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek/Supernatural, Sam Kirk and Sam Winchester, leaving home

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

The prodigal sons leave home amidst chaos and yelling and violence. They leave behind their brothers- both more malleable and easily coerced than they. And always, always in the back of their minds they promise to come back for those they left behind.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

A Christmas Carol, Ebeneezer, as merry as a graveyard on a wet Sunday

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

As merry as a graveyard on a wet Sunday.

As warm as an unlit hearth in January.

As merciful as a lion with his prey.


These are the curses they heap on him, casting black looks like stones and muttering imprecations like death sentences. He ignores them, for what do their opinions matter to him? They cannot touch him (no one can); he is secure (he is alone).

Author's Choice, I'll remember you longer than we both shall live

Supernatural, Dean, I'll remember you longer than we both shall live

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Dean died at twenty-seven and Sam ten months later at not quite twenty-four; Dean goes to the crossroads for Sam, like Dad did for Dean, because Dean can't live with only memories of Sam.

Dean died at twenty-nine and Alastair tells him at irregular intervals thereafter that Sam's dead: a week in, Dean laughs in his face, because he knows damn well that Lilith (tore Sam apart) ran the moment Sam remembered he was holding the knife that could get him the revenge Dean knows Sam would want; eighteen years in, Dean laughs in his face, because he knows damn well that Sam's (a reverse silhouette on the Fremonts' wall) long since gotten out, away from anything that could want him dead, excepting the kids he's sure Sam wanted, probably teenagers who're as much of a headache as Sammy ever was; thirty years in, Dean doesn't laugh, because Sam's fifty-five (if Sam's alive), older than Dad ever got—Winchesters are matches, flare bright and hot and briefly, do the job and they're done—the whole point of all this is Sam alive, and if he no longer is...

Dean died at thirty-one and Sam at twenty-seven; they're together when they bring Lucifer down and together when they tell the reaper to get lost and together as they speed along every two-lane road in America, muscle and metal and memory and a tale that's sometimes true.
