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.

Firefly, Simon, allergic to girls.

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

"It's - it's a medical condition, I have the proper equipment to deal with it some - somewhere around here," he stammers, and Kaylee pouts.

"But I have this cream for rashes and honest to god it works like a charm, you'll be better before you can say - hey, where's he going?"

Jayne guffaws, "I bet he's allergic to girls!"

Star Trek, Chekov/McCoy, Leonard's too worried that he'll "take advantage" of the kid, so he's paralyzed with self-doubt

[samueljames]

Technically Chekov's not a kid but he's still a teenager and it feels wrong to miss half of what he's saying because he's so focused on those lips and the way Chekov licks them briefly as he announces the sensor readings to Jim.

He usually has lunch with Jim so there's really no need for him to be here to make arrangements but lately he's been spending more time on the bridge and if it was just a crush he should be over it by now, luckily it doesn't matter if he missed out on any of that technobabble so he excuses himself and heads back to sickbay a little troubled.

He's only thirty years old, hardly ancient but there's a hell of a gap between eighteen and thirty, he doesn't even know what Chekov thinks of him and he's not going to go throwing himself at the unsupecting Chekov.

Star Trek, Kirk/Bones, clingy tears

Angsty angst

[samueljames]

"There is nothing more you can do" says Spock knowing that is of little reassurance to the doctor. Bones doesn't even register what's being said just holds Jim close wishing they'd been a minute or two earlier, he takes the wedding band from Jim's hand and slides it on over his own.

He doesn't try to hold back the tears as he holds his husband close, cries all over Jim's hair and would give anything for Jim to complain about his hair being messed up but those eyes are forever closed and just that thought alone triggers more tears.

Torchwood, Owen/any, why he became a doctor in the first place

[samueljames]

His classmates had nobler motives wanting to make a difference or save lives, some of them wanting to go into medical research to pioneer cures. He wanted a job that would challenge him and pay a shitload of money and he would have gotten that after his residency if he'd actually managed to finish it. Still Torchwood pays well, extremely well but his teammates don't care why he's a doctor only that he's there to patch them up and admittedly it is a bit of an ego boost when he's able to help them.

Doctor Who, Rose/Doctor, that stupid wall

cheer up, emo doctor. ._.

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

For about a week, it's hard for anyone to get her to leave that room - she paces sometimes, or rests curled up on the floor, but mostly she listens, very quietly, or leans her forehead against the wall, waiting for a signal that refuses to come. Her universe - and he was her universe, in many ways - is gone.

For his part, he leaves the wall - that place, that time - entirely, and does not go back; there is nothing for him there but loss and pain, so he leaves, puts his mind to work, comes up with a project - a cross-dimensional transmission to send one final message to Rose, harnessing the power of a sun entering supernova to power it - and puts all of himself into that, because without a project to consume his attention, his grief will consume him instead.

Star Trek, Kirk/McCoy, don't leave me

[samueljames]

"Don't leave me this way, I can't survive, I can't stay alive, without your love." Bones just shakes his head as Jim sings away with the assistance of the antique music device he'd picked up on shore leave last week. It's a simple idea that he's been persuading the crew to try; sing along to the music as the words scroll up a screen but Jim wants them to try a duet next and Bones wished he hadn't agreed during sex, Jim always knew to ask for something when his defenses were down.

Star Trek, Kirk, Admiral

[samueljames]

It's a promotion, one he definitely deserves but somehow it feels like a punishment. No matter how good Admiral Kirk might sound he'd prefer to remain Captain Kirk, not trusting anyone else to take care of his ship and his crew the way he can. He's going to miss this ship so much everything from the crew to his chair, it's only being able to talk it all out with his husband that stops him crying during his last shift on the bridge.

Sherlock Holmes movie, Mary/Irene, flirting

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

She knows John Watson well, better than he thinks - knows the way he gets when he's around Holmes, certainly - and she outright refuses to be the third wheel while out to dinner with her own husband, so, through some mixture of badgering and coercion, John convinces Holmes to bring along a lady friend to the Cafe Royal.

The woman introduces herself, in an American accent, as Irene, and converses animatedly through the soup course, dark hair and dark eyes shining in the low light, after which Holmes and her husband are called away by the police inspector to advise on an earlier incident, leaving the two women alone at the table.

Mary finds herself somewhat lost for words, intimidated, perhaps, by this young woman's beauty and wit, and excuses herself: "I won't be a moment," to which Irene replies with a bold wink, "Care for a hand powdering your nose?" and frankly, Mary knows her husband well, well enough to know he takes his comfort elsewhere sometimes; tonight, she decides, returning Irene's coy smile and leading the way away from the table, she and this fiery American beauty shall do the same themselves.

Pirates of the Caribbean, Elizabeth/Will, king's consort.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, Bones, "dark and silence - who is there!?"

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, Jim/McCoy, when there's no one around to hear them, he recites Shakespearean poetry

[samueljames]

"But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd and sorrows end" says Bones "Shakespeare put it better than I ever could Jim but essentially what I'm trying to say is that you make everything better, just knowing I'm going to see you at the end of each day makes it better and maybe we could make it official."

Jim smiles at the earnest look on his lover's face "you really want to marry me, will there always be Shakespeare?"

Bones kisses him, "of course", it had started as a way of wooing Jim almost three years ago and now he knows some of the pieces as well as Jim does but he loves the sonnets best because somehow a man who died many centuries ago knows exactly how he feels about Jim and he loves that this is something they can share.

Star Trek, Uhura, girls just wanna have fun

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

Yes, she has a xenobotany exam at 0900 the next morning, and yes, she just last week received an academic merit for superlative performance and dedication to her studies, but Thursday night is Ladies' Night at The Lucky 13, and she knows the xenobotany material cold. Tonight, Nyota's skipping study group, getting some half-price drinks, playing some pool, and maybe finishing the night with some karaoke before heading back to the dorm for a few hours' sleep. She'll catch up on homework and sleep Friday afternoon - tonight she's got a date with herself.

Supernatural/Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dean/Buffy, nighttime

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

At Swim Two Boys, Doyler/Jim, how you shyly placed your eyes on me (did you ever know that I had mine on you?)

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Jim is all too eager to get his hands on Doyler's bare skin, tearing at his clothes with an immensely flattering eagerness, but more often than not Doyler has to coax Jim out of his own clothes; what Jim is fine with him seeing when they are in the water together is apparently not as comfortable for him when Doyler looks him over hotly, letting his eyes linger over slowly-pinking skin and long limbs; anyway, Jim says with a blush, I'm not as nice to look at as you are.

Doyler raises an eyebrow; And which of us has the experience here? he asks pointedly, and grasps Jim's length with a casual friendly hand, delighting in Jim's surprised little gasp, if I say you're enough to keep me interested forever, pal o' me heart, then you had better believe me.

Jim ducks his head, looks up through his lashes; he does not look convinced, but it's no matter; Doyler will convince him one way or another that he's the most beautiful thing Doyler's ever been gifted with, no matter how long it takes him.

Supernatural, Dean, little green army men

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Despite what he told the boy, Dean never held any fondness for green army men. They always reminded him of his father, of screams in the night and memory flashes that his dad couldn't hide. John may have left the jungles of Nam but they never left him.

Supernatural, author's choice, ain't ready for Marines yet

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who/Pirates of the Caribbean, Captains Jack: hand in a jar, heart in a jar.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek: TNG, Deanna Troi, dreaming other people's dreams

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Narnia/Doctor Who, Lucy Pevensie & Lucy Saxon, the Valiant

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who, Doctor/any, There's no time for us

Ten/Rose

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

"How long have we got?" she asks quietly, voice catching.

He replies ruefully, forcing a bitter smile: "About two minutes."

She cries, and he breaks into a million little pieces - he's got a time machine, he's a bloody Time Lord, and she's gone from him anyway, lost among universes in the uncrossable streams of time.

Star Trek, McCoy/Jocelyn, "What is this thing that we call love, when love must die?"

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

Animorphs, Jake, rapid fire

[pleonasm]

Is it sad-- perhaps: that a teenage boy would know so much of the pattern of weaponfire, of dodging and the pain of not-dodging and when to run and when to advance against the chance of getting killed.

Jake knows these things and he learns them swiftly and firmly because he can't let anyone die, can't fail his ragtag group of trying-to-preserve-our-freedom fighters; he is the leader and that means he has to be the best, for their sake.

If that means he must be first into the breach, or last, then he will do it; if it means that he has to take a bullet for their sakes, or worse, then he will do it without hesitation; he might be a teenage boy but he is also an Andalite bandit and he must act, or all will be lost.

Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Smith, worth the monsters

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, McCoy, surprised to be in love

[samueljames]

Jocelyn really did a number on his heart and his ability to trust and he'd decided that relationships weren't worth the risk. On the third year of their mission he forgets their wedding anniversary for the first time and is surprised when he does remember that he can think of her without feeling any bitterness. The following year when that anniversary rolls around he's been with Chekov almost nine months, surprised at how quickly he let down the walls around his heart, and Chekov arranges a romantic evening to give Leonard some new memories for this date.

Star Trek, Kirk/McCoy, when comets collide

[samueljames]

They are opposites in some ways and yet so alike in others as their tempers flare and they both become too stubborn to ever apologise. They surge forward now clashing together as lips meet and are then captured between teeth, a hand grips a hip tightly and pelvises rock back and forth in battle with one another till there's an explosion. They won't apologise but tomorrow the kisses will be softer, the touches more tender and they will fall back into an easy orbit of one another.
