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.

They probably should have tried being friends first, but both of them were too bad at establishing the right lines; one thing they had in common was ambition, even if Puck's tended toward sexual conquests and Rachel's toward living forever on Broadway.

But finally listening to "Sweet Caroline" stops making Puck feel sick in the pit of his stomach (with manly annoyance, he'd swear), and Rachel stops looking at him with that ridiculous pity because she knows how much he wants to be a part of his baby's life (that takes much, much longer; the baby is long gone by then into the arms of a family who won't, Puck is sure, tell their daughter just how badass her real dad is, and what a waste).

When she starts acting like herself again around him, all misdirected enthusiasm and irritating cheer, he cuffs her gently on the shoulder like she's one of the guys and tells her to chill out, and her eyes widen, and then she smiles like he's given her the Emmy or something, and they become friends, which is how this whole thing should have started, really.

Thank you, this is so lovely. I love how you brought it full circle with just three sentences. I liked how they tackled them on the show because I don't think they would have worked long term but it's a good way to have more interaction with them. I liked how you showed how much him being friendly meant to her.

I don't think they would have worked long-term either, but I think maybe they could be friends, as long as Rachel could call him on his crap once in a while. XD Glad you liked it~
