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.

Arrested Development, Michael, "I've made a huge mistake".

[pleonasm]

"I've made a huge mistake," Michael says, the feel of the words so familiar on his lips. If there is one thing that the Bluths are good at, besides lying and cheating and selfishness (because we must include Michael in this family, and he isn't very good at any of these), it is failure, and Michael is intimately acquainted with making mistakes (an arm, a growl, "this is why;" Marta's face, the way George Michael hesitates when something has gone wrong again).

Michael doesn't forget these mistakes, which is something else the other Bluths are good at: there will always be overdrawn credit cards and dead doves in the fridge; Michael sighs and fixes things, and makes new mistakes the next time, because he tries very hard at everything he does, even at living when he remembers.

Thank you for filling so many of my prompts, you have been busy.

This is great at showing how Michael is different from the others but also summarising the rest of the family. Love the dead dove reference.

Heh, well, quiet afternoon at work, so I decided to have some fun.

Michael has more in common with them than he realizes, which is why he's fun to write. The dead dove will never stop being hilarious.
