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.

Star Trek 2009, Kirk/McCoy, an ordinary average day

[samueljames]

Jim thrives in a disaster situation, it's like the pressure makes his neurons fire a little faster, it's how he's proved to everyone he deserves to be Captain. McCoy's not fond of disasters, medics rarely are and he worries about his Captain, his lover. The one thing they do agree on is appreciating the everyday moments, like waking in each others' arms, meeting up for lunch or chatting about their days just before bed.

Nice! I like reading fic that show the crew in quiet times. It would be boring in a movie, but is nice to read about in fic.

[samueljames]

Thanks. Yeah downtime wouldn't make for good action on screen but I love the idea of these two sharing some quiet times together.

I just have to say that I love your icon. Especially the face he's making.

Middle Ground

[kain-was-here.livejournal.com]

Below average was something Jim had never aspired to be. Above average, on the other hand, came with as little effort as failure did for some people and he'd never considered the middle ground, revelling in the excitement of new challenges. But now, with Bones wrapped snugly around him, an anchoring arm draped possesively over his midsection and his light snores tickling the back of Jim's neck, Jim though that maybe it would be nice to have an 'average', and for this to be it.

I liked this prompt so much I wanted to write a ficlet for it too. :D

Sometimes Jim worries that he doesn't know who he is when there's no excitement around; it's all flash, bangs and action with him, never being still (stillness leaves room for introspection, too much thought, and thinking's never done anything for him but leave him discontented). If the world isn't going to hell where he stands, then what use is he (and if there's no use for him, people will leave, they always leave)?

"Just sit here with me, Jim," Bones says softly, threading their fingers together and pulling him close, and the look in his eyes is both heated and lazy and--oh, Jim thinks, oh, maybe this isn't so hard after all.

[samueljames]

This is really nice, love how Bones grounds him.

:D Thank you! Jim's got so much energy, he needs someone like Bones to keep him steady.
