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.

Supernatural, Winchesters, must all end in blood

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Salt, iron, silver, and holy water; God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy; death and taxes; everything ends bloody, everyone dies alone. These things are inevitable. But Sam and Dean are old hands at dodging death and taxes (and 'God is great' isn't holding up so well either; neither are salt and holy water, come to that, because Azazel ignored the salt lines in Stanford and the holy water in Jefferson City), and also they are stubborn contrary fuckers who don't handle loneliness real well, so when they hear Gabriel say "it's gonna end bloody for all of us—that's just how it's gotta be", all it does is stiffen their resolve.

Narnia, Peter and Lucy, moments written in snow

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

I.
Lucy smiles as the snow falls on her shoulders because she knows that now Peter and all the others will believe her.

II.
The river is leaking, so Lucy knows that spring is on the way, but for now Peter just needs to get them across the ice bridge before they all fall in.

III.
Tracking the magical white deer, Peter and Lucy see the lamppost at the same time and wave the others over to look at it.

Narnia, all male!Pevensies, too much to drink

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

(ALL OVER THIS. :D)

Lucas is the happy drunk in the family, which comes as no great shock--let the wine flow like rivers, he cries out, drinking deep from his goblet and dimpling brightly at whoever catches his eye--and somehow he never drinks so much that he's hurting the next morning, instead as painfully cheerful as always.

Sam is the moody drunk, the one that stares into his goblet for ages and bemoans his lot in life into any willing ear; Peter waxes philosophical, puzzling out the mysteries of nature and life with his golden hair ruffled and his eyes slightly unfocused.

Edmund never has too much to drink; he's good at pretending--he can make himself boisterous or quiet or morose or belligerent, whatever the circumstances demand--but someone must always keep watch, and he always takes that duty upon himself.

Smallville, Clark/Lex, romantic gesture.

[samueljames]

True Blood, Eric/Godric, fiercely loyal.

Jane Eyre, Mr. Rochester/Bertha, he wonders if it was ever love

[kaitimcgill.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! I saw that this was unfilled and it made my day :D I've never really done a 3 sentence one before, but I'll give it a go since I love this book so much! Let me know what you think!

Mr. Rochester stared at the shadow of the women he married years ago, struggling against her bindings, her eyes starting to bug out of her purpling face... the face that had once caught his eye like none before it.

How could it have come to this, a clearly ailing woman who he could hardly look at seemed to mock his every memory of the beauty he once loved... or did he?

Could he so callously forget such a love in this way if it had ever really been real, turning away from her hideous face trying to quell the nausea he inevitably felt at the site of her... can love become such feelings or were his memories of such bliss a lie; was he trying to deny his repugnance by convincing himself it was in service of his first great love?

Torchwood, Owen, a madness to his method

[samueljames]

The purpose of his sarcasm is two-fold; he uses it as a shield and as a warning to others in much the same way as prisons place barbed wire on the top of their walls. He's a shit sometimes and he knows it, feels like he's kicked a puppy when that hurt look flashes in Tosh's eyes but really anyone else would have stopped trying by now. She is intelligent and beautiful and could so easily be the one for him if only he didn't need to keep his heart closed off, losing Katie almost broke him and now he knows it's safer not to feel at all.

Anthropomorphized fic, angst/fluff, complementary

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

He frowns; she smiles. He broods; she dances.

They've nothing at all in common, but somehow (he pines and she smothers him with kisses) it all works out.

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Susan and Lucy, always and forever

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

"You bitch!" Lucy shouts at the closed door, not caring if their parents hear her. "You utter bitch! You're still my damned sister," she adds, so soft it's barely a whisper, and slams her fist against the door.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds, Hotch/Rossi, casual gestures of love that they don't notice but everyone else does

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Morgan laughs as he sees Rossi reach up to straighten Hotch's tie, smiles lighting both their faces. A day later Reid has to smother his smile as he hears Hotch exclaim from his office. "I don't care if you don't like them Dave! You need to eat your vegetables." And after the bottom falls out of Hotch's world Prentiss goes to visit him in the hospital- only to find that Hotch has all the comfort and company he needs in the cranky Italian man holding his hand between two of his own.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds, Hotch/Rossi, first kiss

[kelachrome]

Aaron has grown so used to Dave's arms ending up around him during the moments he's fighting off burnout that he barely notices the first time Dave kisses him. He doesn't think Dave does either--he acts without thinking, brushing Aaron's forehead with his lips, trying to chase away the horrible emotional ache that comes with facing injustice.

After a minute or two Aaron realizes that something new and different and right has happened, but really what he can't figure out (watching comprehension dawn in Dave's eyes before kissing him properly) is why it hasn't happened sooner.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds, Reid/Morgan, pretty boy

[samueljames]

Oh god it used to drive him crazy, sure there was a compliment somewhere in pretty but the boy part implied a resentment of someone so young being on their team so he did what he always did turned to facts and used them to make his profiling decisions and show the team he was as good as any of them. Now he knows Derek never meant anything of the sort, it was his way of being friendly, meant to tease not make him squirm. Derek doesn't call him pretty boy at work any more, it's something just between them for more intimate moments when Derek makes him squirm in a much more pleasurable way.

Nightrunner series, Seregil/Alec, caught mid-kiss

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds, Reid, random dirty fact that makes the rest of the team do a double take

(Oh my god. I just watched Mathew Gray Gubler: The Authorized Documentary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ3IQZujpuo), and now I kind of want to request MGG/grown-up Anton Yelchin fic, except you might all look at me like I'm a freak or something. XD TOO MUCH AWESOME CONTAINED IN ONE PLACE.)

no fic

[samueljames]

No fic but thanks for the link, it was very funny.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, Jim and Chekov/Spock, "Oh god, that's so sexy."

[samueljames]

Jim had seen Uhura and Spock kiss but it was hardly the most erotic kiss and he'd assumed Spock to be pretty much asexual. Now he knows that most certainly is not the case as he's just spotted Spock with Chekov on the observation deck. Spock's hand moves quickly inside Chekov's trousers as Chekov licks Spock's fingers slowly, he means to stay hidden but instead shocks them both, "oh god, that's so sexy."

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Star Trek XI/Criminal Minds, Chekov & Reid, underestimated

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Morgan and Sulu blast through the doorway, weapons in hand, eyes wide with worry; "Reid, are you guys all right?" Morgan calls out frantically, before the dust clears and he takes in the sight in front of him.

The two guards are lying unconscious on their backs, hands and feet bound, one with a bloody nose and the other sporting a black eye; Reid and Chekov are sitting on the ground playing cards, and Reid looks up when they enter and smiles, saying, "Thanks for getting the door open for us, guys; we didn't bother because we knew you'd handle that, but we managed to take down the guards with a few distracting statistics and a chair!"

Chekov shrugs and plays another card, saying complacently, "Was easy."

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Actors RPF, Mathew Gray Gubler/present-day Anton Yelchin, Star Trek XI

(OKAY. I defy you to watch the episode of Criminal Minds with both of them in it, and then watch MGG's Authorized Documentary, and not want to read fic about both of them. :D ...DON'T JUDGE ME. :D)

biblical, Serpent, beyond the garden walls

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

Taking some liberties with theology here. Can you tell that I like your biblical prompts?


Eden is perfect. He knows this, and knows that to wish for more than perfection is an affront to the Creator--still, sometimes he wonders what lies beyond the garden walls.

He watches the humans skirting nervously around the Tree of Knowledge and a plan clicks into place.

Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, night on the town.

[pleonasm]

A night on the town has very different definitions for both of them-- Aziraphale would be content with a book and an evening in Starbucks, ordering tea every hour with consideration for the employees; whereas Crowley, well, might step into Starbucks for a morning chaser before going to bed.

"You want to do the Charleston in a gentleman's club?" Crowley asks in disbelief; Aziraphale is offering him a hand and a disarming smile, but Crowley still doesn't want to believe him.

"Is there a more appropriate place?" the angel says innocently, and Crowley wants to facepalm, but that always gets fingerprints on his sunglasses, and the gesture would be lost on Aziraphale, anyway, so he takes the proffered hand and gets to his feet, thinking that he will surely regret this, but what was a little more entropy in the world?

Highlander, Connor MacLeod, after the first hundred years, some of the glamor starts to fade

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Immortality seems like a boon when you're young. Never having to grow old or worry about permanent harm from guns, disease, or blade. But after you see everyone you know and love go to the earth it starts to lose its shine.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Peter Pan, Wendy, a mother for real

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

She looks down at the bundle in her arms and her first absurd thought is, I'm a mother for real now, not just playing.

Her mind reels years ahead to reading stories to her son, telling him about Peter Pan, and she thinks it won't be very different at all from being Mother to the Lost Boys.

Then her baby grabs onto the neck of her hospital gown, grins toothlessly at her, and she realizes that there's a world of difference between pretending and being.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Lucy, the Florence Nightingale of Narnia

[makinhistory.livejournal.com]

No one dares to call her mad, but their eyes follow the glow of her lantern after every battle, drifting past at hours in which no young queen should be wakeful.

She knows they whisper about her.

But her touch soothes, her presence cheers, and she thinks they would not whisper so if they really knew.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Narnia, girl!Ed (Edlyn), trapped

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

She hates this feeling, the sudden rising panic that comes in small spaces and no way out. It takes her years of training and hours spent sitting in small dark spaces to master it, but eventually she learns to use it, to turn her fear and terror into a weapon, to channel the adrenaline running through her body into her blows.

When they come back to London the whole city surrounds her, pressing down until she stumbles into the bathroom and throws up.

Chronicles of Narnia/The Snow Queen, Edmund and Kay, the touch of frost

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Edmund is standing outside in the cold when he sees the other boy, standing across the road and staring up at the sky with a touch of fear on his face.

"Winter's here," Edmund says, and the boy starts a moment and then nods, jerkily.

"Kay!" someone calls from nearby, and a young girl comes running up to him, tugging at his hands and talking earnestly to him, and Edmund closes his eyes and hears nothing but the echoes of sleigh bells.
