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, author's choice, exotic imports!

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Caspian stares wide-eyed at these strange and exotic creatures that gather before him. Two girls and two boys, pale and thin with hair every shade under the sun. They befuddle and enchant his mind as the intoxicants shipped from beyond the sea never will with their queer beauty and boundless courage.

Bones, Hodgins, Little Known Fact!

[samueljames]

Arrested Development, Michael/Marta, keeping secrets.

[pleonasm]

Marta can't tell him right away-- it's only proper to tell Gob first, to let him down easily (even as she suspects he'll hardly notice, as long as she doesn't interrupt one of his tri-- illusions). And Michael has spent all afternoon chasing her, trying to hide his desire, because even if Gob doesn't deserve Marta he does have her, and there are some lines that Michael doesn't want to cross ("Family is most important, right?").

Their short relationship is built as steadily as a house of cards and is as easy to topple; if it had only been another time, another place, another set of circumstances-- but it isn't; so when all the secrets come out no one is left holding the aces.

Bones, Zack/Hodgins, definition of analysis

[samueljames]

Doctor Who, Master/Doctor, role-play.

[faorism.livejournal.com]

The Master and the Doctor had their games with twisted, unconventional and dastardly in their witty exchanges; a queer attraction to one another—the other only one of their kind; and the serendipity of their paths crossing again and again and again. Yes, they had their games, but the cruelest of them was the one they played at night—where skin against skin, four hearts beating thumpbumpthumpthumpbahthumpbumpbah. Such a cruel game... especially when the Master realized that he had to pretend there was lust—rather than the Doctor's need to not be alone... such a cruel, cruel game.

Glee, Puck, BAMF

[samueljames]

Want to avoid spoilers. How much have you seen?

[samueljames]

Anthropomorphized fandom, viewer/show, "it's just not the same any more."

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

We're all sitting around in the living room, and three cute girls and a sexy con man are making eyes at the tall, dark, handsome alien, who clearly has no idea that any of them exist.

You could cut the tension with a knife, so I break the silence with, "You know, I liked it better when there were four or five of you at once - there was more opportunity for dynamics - and now you all live in your own little bubble." The very sexy con man and the blonde look at each other to hold hands and an older woman pokes her head out of the kitchen to say to them, "Oh yeah, that totally counts" rolling her eyes "five lousy episodes, big deal - you know, back in my day..."

(this makes more sense in my head, it really does)

[samueljames]

Anthropomorphized fandom, viewer/character, so disappointed.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

The twelve-year-old girl draws her knees up to her chest and wrings her hands even though she knows that the heroine will be swept off her feet by the end of this. But when the man on the screen puts on his hat and walks out without even saying a proper goodbye, she stops breathing for a minute. "I hate you all!" she finally screams at the end credits, "You were perfect for each other and now he's gone, and you're not even going to run after him and try to get him back because you're all so stupid!"

[samueljames]

Glee, Puck/Kurt, boys don't cry.

[pleonasm]

This one was HARD to get done in three sentences, sorry for all of the creative punctuation.

Boys don't cry, but Kurt is an honorary girl (and yes, he considers that an honor, not because he wants to be a girl or wants to be with one, but because the girls are so much nicer to him than any of the boys are), and he ends up in the last stall in the ladies room, sobbing quietly into his hands and wondering why he thought this was going to end differently than, "Sorry, Kurt, but I don't like boys"; every time he thinks of the way that Finn's face fell when Kurt began to turn and flee, it makes him a little sadder, because he didn't want to make Finn sad or guilty over feelings he could not possibly return; he just wanted Finn to know.

"Hey, Hummel," someone says suddenly, and Kurt swallows his tears; that isn't a girl's voice, it's-- no, can't be-- but then Puck is leaning over the top of the stall, casually taking in Kurt's heartbreak, and Kurt almost wants to hit him, except Puck is handing him a cup and Kurt looks down into a cherry slush that isn't about to be plastered all over his face, apparently.

"You're not supposed to be in here," he says finally, because he can't be smooth all the time and he has a history of saying all the wrong things to football players; Puck just snorts and leaves, but when Kurt finally emerges from the bathroom, his hair and face as repaired as he can manage, Puck is waiting, and he falls into step beside Kurt as they walk down the hall (Kurt isn't quite sure why, yet, or even if he wants to know, but it's a little comforting, anyway).

Catcher in the Rye/Star Trek, Holden/Chekov, notice me!

[samueljames]

Star Trek, Bones/Jim, break-up.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

(deleted and reposted because I forgot scene breaks)

It happens so slowly, Jim can hardly tell that they're drifting, but Leonard knows all too well how much they're hurting each other, because he's seen it before, lived it before, and he doesn't want to see it happen again.
-/-
The first thing that tips him off that something is wrong is the sheet of paper on his bed: he always teased Bones because he had to feel the pages or else it never felt real to him, so he knows this is serious.
-/-
He locks himself in his office because he knows that his lover (not anymore, he reminds himself) will be down here any minute to find out what the hell is going on, and he never wanted to be the one to hurt his friend.

Flash Forward, Mark/Demetri, last day together.

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Narnia, all-male!Pevensies, no one fights you like your family

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

"Fuck," Lucas says softly, sliding down against the wall to land with a thump on the floor. He can still hear Peter and Sam going at it from the next room, and if he lifts his eyes he can see Edmund standing at the door, stiff and cold, anger flashing in his eyes.

"Fuck," he says again, because he can, and leans his head against the wall, unable to hold back a wince as fist connects with flesh in the next room.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who, Doctor, someone realizes how stupid the "Tinkerbell Effect" at the end of Last of the Time Lords is

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

"No, no, no, now wait," the Master said, narrowing his eyes, "I must be misunderstanding - you can't possibly mean to tell me that you intend to overthrow me and foil my brilliant plans through... through what, the power of positive thinking?!"

"Er... yeah, something like that, yes," replied the Doctor brightly, smiling his idiotic smile, "thanks mostly to Martha's field work - well done, you, by the way, spreading the gospel of me!"

Martha blinked dreamily at the Doctor, and sighed as he lifted into the air and began to glow messianically; the Master buried his face in his hands and wished, not for the first time, that he could have put aside his ego and just killed the bastard while he had the chance.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, Kirk/McCoy, he realizes why Bones worries

Totally A Sequel

[samueljames]

Jim smiles at Bones when he gives him the okay to leave sickbay and tries to kiss him with Bones almost falling over in the resulting huge step backwards "can't watch you try to kill yourself Jim, it hurts too much."

"I've never tried to kill myself, I wouldn't do that."

"Doesn't have to be a suicide attempt, I sit here and wait for you to come back praying whatever it is I can fix and you act like it's nothing, like you're nothing" he pauses cautiously hopeful as a look of understanding appears on Jim's face.

Star Trek, Scotty, It's not as easy as you think.

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Breaking the laws of gravity and Newtonian physics isn't as easy as Kirk thinks. It's nail-biting, back breaking work that has Scotty fearing he'll get an ulcer. But the truth is that hard or not, Scotty wouldn't change a minute of it.

[les342.livejournal.com]

Star Trek, Author's choice, mind your manners

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

"Watch yourself," Kirk hisses to McCoy. The planet they are on practices a highly sophisticated form of sexual slavery not unlike the concubines of China and Japan. McCoy growls and mutters under his breath about human rights and freedom and he's not a liberal goddamnit Jim.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Susan/Peter, "Yes, that's clever, let's antagonize the bandits holding us captive."

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

"You can't treat the High King of Narnia like this! I'll have your heads!" Peter roars, struggling futilely against the ropes that bind them. Susan rolls her eyes, mutters yes, that's clever, let's antagonize the bandits holding us captive as she works the slender knife out from her boot.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Star Trek XI, Sulu/Chekov, mission gone horribly wrong

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

(Lol, I went for the crack. Hope you don't mind. :D)

Chekov holds kitten-Sulu in one hand and watches the tiny scrap of black fur roll onto its back and struggle to roll back over; "What do I do with him?" he asks desperately, looking up at Captain Kirk, who is trying and totally failing at hiding his laughter. Next time they are all in terrible danger and Chekov saves the day, he will make sure the Captain is turned into something adorable and fluffy, and then he will give him to the women on the ship and watch him suffer.

"Well, I'd suggest rolling him over for a start," the Captain says in a choked voice, and dissolves into helpless laughter when kitten-Sulu licks Chekov's thumb and starts purring loudly and contentedly.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Narnia, girl!Ed, only a matter of time

Girl!Ed/Peter

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

They come off the battlefield with the taste of blood in their mouths and their hands trembling with adrenaline; they fall into bed together in the same haze of battle-fury and helpless lust, and it's fitting that the first time they've allowed themselves this, this resolution to the strange wordless connection they've had almost their entire lives, it's after they've both nearly died.

Edlyn bites Peter's lip hard, drawing tiny drops of blood, and tears at his clothing frantically; Peter growls and pushes her down, leaning closer to trace with his tongue the path of the arrow that almost took his sister in the heart, and when he tries to slow his stuttering breath and gentle his hands, Edlyn rakes her nails down his back and spits out, "Touch me like you mean it, damn it!"; Peter does, there is nothing he means more, nothing more important to him than this moment, and he would lose himself in Edlyn completely if he weren't already lost.

Afterward, he stares down at his hands and feels his stomach clench--this is what he has been fighting against for years, ever since he began to notice Ed's creamy skin and darkly flashing eyes, and realized his sister was rapidly becoming a beauty as well as his best friend; he's always known he wasn't strong enough to resist this forever, but it doesn't make it any easier right now; Edlyn snakes her arm around his waist, drawing him down to murmur in his ear, "This was always going to happen, Peter, it was only a matter of time; I want this and you want this, and the only thing that stands between us is your overblown sense of guilt; I think between your guilt and my desire, we know which is more stubborn, don't we?"

Supernatural, anyone outside the continental U.S., what they think of the Winchesters

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Samuel Winchester was baptized Catholic in his twentieth year; Dean Winchester, never that Padre José María Sánchez y Martínez or Padre Miguel Pedro López y Navarro can find record of no matter how many estadounidense priests they contact. José thinks the small matter of Dean not being under the Vatican's jurisdiction should be no barrier to excommunicating both the brothers; after the third demon he and Miguel pin down and exorcise, too late to save one or three or a dozen of those that José vowed to protect, José is not inclined to think charitably of the Winchesters. Miguel, meanwhile, tallies up the people known to be alive because of the Winchesters, reminds José that all the rumors of the Winchesters' opening the diablo puerta are secondhand at best and everyone known to have been present at the time agrees that the Winchesters killed the ones who did open it, and lights candles in prayer for Sam's and Dean's souls.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds, Hotch/Rossi, Hotch does have a sense of humor

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Rossi knows the team thinks of Hotch as this cold, humorless entity but they don't know him the way he does. They have never seen Hotch chuckle as the watch every Charlie Chaplin movie known to man on his plasma screen. And they damn sure better not have experienced the revelation of pinning Hotch down and kissing him until he's breathless with pleasure and giggling as Dave strokes his ticklish sides.

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

Star Trek XI, Kirk/McCoy, the rest of the crew noticing that Kirk is basically making this face at McCoy all the time: ♥______♥

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

"Do you think he even realizes he's doing it?" Sulu wonders, and Chekov blinks.

"Who's doing what?" he says.

"The Captain, always making this face at Bones," Sulu says, and does his best to look lovelorn and puppyish at Chekov.

Glee, Puck/author's choice, duet

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Rachel had been chasing Puck to sing a duet with her for two weeks now, ("Please?" "No.") no one had ever held out that long at the onslaught of her nagging; if she wasn't so annoyed with him (how couldn't he see how amazing it would be?) she would have been impressed.

But people should just learn that against Rachel Berry, resistance was futile; "Fine, I'll sing the fucking duet with you, Berry; Please shut the fuck up!"

They were amazing, just like she said they would be.

[samueljames]

Glee, Will/Emma, dealing with her OCD.

[pleonasm]

Will is used to the idea of her OCD; it is, after all, pretty much impossible to ignore once you've known Emma for any length of time. But adjusting to it in a relationship is slightly different, and he has to hide his impatience when she checks the stove a third time before going out, or cleans the seat at a nice restaurant.

It takes time, but finally he realizes that he's coping-- better than coping; he smiles sweetly at her as she scrubs carefully at her piece of fruit, and when someone says joking, "It's almost as if you love her for it," he nods; it isn't that he loves her because she has OCD, or even despite it, but it's okay because it's part of who Emma is, and he loves all of her, good and bad.
