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.

Fringe, Peter, childhood

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Peter's childhood is a broken, fragmented thing, all rough edges and sharp points. His memories are disjointed and unhappy, even the good ones. And as he looks back on those times he feels as though something important is slipping through his grasp, something macabre and vital.

BSG, Helo/Athena, paint by numbers

Sap alert!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

It’s protein bars and changing diapers; it’s stumbling into the cockpit half-asleep and half-alive and stumbling out half-awake and half-dead; it’s the shooting range and the weight room and dropping Hera off at daycare; it’s war paint and finger-paint and what’s the difference anyway?

It isn’t anything like he planned: married, to a Cylon who’s more human than anyone else he’s ever known, with a perfect little girl with his mother’s curls and his wife’s eyes; fighting a war to keep the remnants of humanity alive, making the hard choices, day after day with no way of knowing whether he’s right or wrong or if there’s any such thing anymore.

But he tickles and Hera laughs and Sharon smiles, and he knows exactly what right is.

Farscape, Crichton, slipping away

[rosalui.livejournal.com]

He panics the first time he realizes he's forgotten exactly what his elder sister looks like. His brain has been frelled with by half the people living in this universe and a good portion of those outside it - to someone as prone to loopiness as he is, minor memory loss should be the last of his worries.

But as he tries again and again to picture Susan's face, and it slips away and morphs into a thousand others (none quite correct), he panics - because his memories are all that he has left of home in these Godforsaken Territories, and they are slipping away.

Star Wars, Anakin/Obi-Wan, the ties that bind

[fiendlikethee.livejournal.com]

Kind of on the angsty side... Sorry about that.

Even now, duelling over the lava, evading blows meant to kill, Obi-Wan cannot believe Anakin irrevocably lost. They are Master and Padawan, more; these are ties that bind, closer than blood, closer even than fear.

Anakin glares at him beyond the searing heat of their locked sabers, nothing but murder in his red-rimmed eyes, and Obi-Wan realizes with a flash of grief that this is no longer the boy he knew (the boy he loved), that there are no ties between the two of them any longer.

Heroes, Nathan/Peter, hope is worse

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Nathan can fly. No one believes it but Peter and he loves his brother so much for that. When they're together, they're invincible; but then he's alone, and this time when he dreams of flying, all he can do is fall.

Katekyou Hitman Reborn | Dino/Tsuna | hidden somewhere

[lyra-star.livejournal.com]

"Reborn is so gonna find us here Dino-san! And then he'll kill us, shoot us up with bullets and kick us in the head and OH MY GOD! WE ARE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEE!!!" he hisses at the Chiavarone Tenth like he normally won't do, would be too shy to do; but in the face of his probably prolonged painful merciless death he can't quite bring himself to care about being polite to the person who's managed to lock them inside a smelly closet, just to avoid some bloody meeting with his other Guardians!

He feels the hand that creeps up his back before Dino's larger frame presses against his back, he can feel the other man's smirk pressed against his neck where the other man is busy nuzzling him.

He wants to squirm against him, but fear for his life has him almost hyperventilating or maybe that was the heat finally getting to him; all in all he wasn't feeling all that sensible, the smack he delivered the chuckling man is proof of that.

TELL ME THAT'S THREE SENTENCE! I'LL FEEL BETTER THEN! hope you like ^^

Doctor Who, Jack Harkness and Ten (gen or slash), decisions.

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

Jack is all wrong, never ever changing or staying dead for any amount of time, and the Doctor is scared of touching him or looking at him or even being near him.

But he's even more scared of facing Martha once she finds out he's abandoned his friend once again, since he knows he won't have a good answer to her accusations.

So for now he'll just wait in a terrible limbo, not daring to move or choose, for fear that it will all crumble to dust.

Revolutionary Girl Utena, Utena/Juri, fencing naked.

[chiharu-octavia.livejournal.com]

They'd faced each other before, many times, but this was always her favorite way to do it: empty-handed, hair unbound, naked as the day she was born. She watched Juri, watched those lovely, thick curls as they bounced across bare shoulders, and readied her imaginary foil for a feint. She flicked her wrist as if to disengage, and as Juri swung her own arm down to block, Utena ducked beneath her swing, cut in, and slapped Juri's large breast with her open palm -- "Touch."

[thene]

Firefly, Saffron and [or /!] River; I can see right through you.

[trascendenza]

Pretty lies don't lie so pretty inside, she says as she lays her palm on Saffron's sternum, bringing each fingertip into deliberate contact like the five points of a starfish.

Saffron's hands curl around her hips, pulling her closer, there's a reason I don't let many people in.

Why me?, River asks, and Saffron smiles an uncrafted smile, and her answer is more of an undercurrent of a thought than words, 'cause you're already in here, darlin', and there ain't a thing I can do about it.

Supernatural, Sam and Dean, some go to war, some never come home

[grim-lupine.livejournal.com]

(Older prompts deserve to be loved too! :D)

Don't kid yourself, Dean, Sam says to him one night, bitter-drunk and weary, this is a war we've been in our whole lives, and Dad's the one that brought us into it.

Dean looks at him and tries not to resent his anger, roiling heavily between them; someone has to take the other side of it, and as long as Sam is the one who rails loudly against their fucked-up childhood and their revenge-driven father, Dean is the one who has to counter that he only taught them enough to keep them safe from what lurks in the dark; sometimes Dean would like the luxury of being angry at his father as well, but he doesn't feel right unless someone is defending him in his absence, and Sam never will.

People go to war all the time, Sammy, and it's because they're the only ones that can, Dean says, shrugging his shoulders; Sam tips back the rest of his drink and says darkly, Yeah, but how many of them don't come home after that?

(Wow, okay, this totally went in a weird direction I wasn't expecting. XD)

[kittycow.livejournal.com]

Resident Evil - Chris/Claire - Shooting Range (or really authors choice, i just want more chris/claire)

[chiharu-octavia.livejournal.com]

"No, no, you're holding it all wrong," Chris grumbled into the cold air of the gun range as he reached over to adjust his sister's grip.

Claire stared at him as he closed a hand over hers. "So what, you want to give yourself a hand job?"

[kittycow.livejournal.com]

Kyou Kara Maou - Yuuri/Murata - Past Lives

[kittycow.livejournal.com]

Marvel - Tony Stark/Peter Parker - Idolize

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

(I've never written for this fandom before. Hope this is what you're looking for.)

Peter's been waiting for this interview for a long time. He's going to make sure Tony knows just how inspiring he is to the bright new generation of heroes. "Mr. Stark," he stammers, "you were awesome and I love-- that is to say-- can I just have your autograph, please?"

[thene]

Metal Gear, Gray Fox, scar tissue.

[xturncoatxiii.livejournal.com]

Avengers, Hank/Jan, "all dressed up with nowhere to go"

[kittycow.livejournal.com]

It was the night of yet another Stark party and even though Jan always made it a point to attend, Hank never cared much for large groups of loud people (unless they were cheering for him, of course).

They had all but left the house when Hank told Jan she looked beautiful in that color and one kiss led to another.

Tony never found out what happened to his comrades that night, but formal clothes strewn across the bedroom floor easily told of the passionate night the husband and wife shared.

Sifl & Olly - Sifl/Olly - Away from the mic

[not a fill!]

[alder-knight.livejournal.com]

I have only seen this show once, so I cannot fill your prompt, but I have to tell you that it is brilliant.

[chiharu-octavia.livejournal.com]

Fullmetal Alchemist, Roy/Maes, tuxedo

[kittycow.livejournal.com]

It was the after-party for graduation and Roy was irritated, "I hate wearing tuxes, the collars always end up choking me!" He made a face and looked away while Maes adjusted the bow-tie.

The other smiled and made him a deal, "Well if you suffer at least half-way through the night, I'll make it up to you afterwards..."

[chiharu-octavia.livejournal.com]

Star Trek TNG, Riker/Troi, family

[chiharu-octavia.livejournal.com]

Heroes, Matt/Mohinder, couch

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

"So tell me," said Matt, "how does that make you feel?"

"Since you can read my thoughts what's the point of this, anyway?" answered Mohinder, getting up from the analyst's couch.

Matt considered this and came up with a very professional answer, "You're right, we should just skip to the part where we sex."

Star Trek 2009, Chekov, birthday

[lastshadow.livejournal.com]

Pavel was hardly one to view himself as a child, especially after the events of That Day, and the fallout of That Year, but there was to be no convincing of his shipmates that this particular birthday was not the start of his adulthood. Sighing, he began drawing fractals alongside the navigation plots, his doodles encompassing first Andoria, then the Andorian gas giant, slowly expanding to devour the entire Alpha quadrant. Minutes later, when the Keptin pulled up the plots suddenly onto the main viewing screen, there was no reprimand, merely a 'You must be anxious for the celebration, Chekov', that made Pavel sigh and wish for once that Alpha Shift would last forever.

[roselikeschips.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler, post-Waters of Mars

[rosalui.livejournal.com]

He's spent centuries perfecting the art of Not Thinking About Certain People; but images, memories, and snippets of Rose Tyler are always breaking his barriers down, invading his mind with unequaled stubbornness - //I wish Rose could see this,// he finds himself thinking, or //I never got the chance to take her here and now it's too late--//

He needs her now - knows she could quench this fiery rage inside him as she has so many times before - and yet this is the first time he's ever been glad she's gone.

He doesn't want her to see what he's starting to become.

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

Chronicles of Narnia, Edmund/Jill, sitting there, across the way

off limits, post SC, Edmund/Jill, pg

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

She's off limits in so many ways, because Eustace is just as much his friend, as he is his cousin, so she's off limits. That doesn't stop him from watching her, and smiling at her and saying yes, when she asks him if he could help her with her archery. Both Jill and Edmund knows that she'd be better off asking Lucy, but Edmund is not going to point that out, since now he gets to touch her while readjusting her grip on her bow.

[rosalui.livejournal.com]

Petshop of Horrors, D/Leon, "he'd accidentally hit an animal with his car, and oh God, D was going to kill him."

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

That thud-ud-ump was possibly the most terrifying noise he'd ever heard, because he'd seen that flicker of eyes in the road, couldn't stop in time, and now D was really going to kill him, no two ways about it. This was something a few carefully selected pastries couldn't fix, and dammit D had actually been less annoying than usual, and they were actually getting along.

I'm sorry, Leon thought, as he got out of the car and picked up the rabbit with a plastic bag; it was still breathing, but barely, and stopped while he held it.

[lyra-star.livejournal.com]

Naruto, Naruto/Sai, oblivious to him

[ivy-queen.livejournal.com]

You still find his steely determination and never-ending optimism baffling, yet mesmerising at the same time; it grates on your nerves when you finally realise that he only sees the back of his best friend and no one else.

You can never be to him what Uchiha Sasuke was, and still is, but you will stand by his side if it means that you will get to bask in the light of his happiness for a bit longer.

And so you smile at him, heart clenching at the sky blue of his gaze and say, "I will help you save him, Naruto."


Of course, written from Sai's POV. I know, it's way too vague, but I tried!
