Three Sentence Ficathon 2022

This post is NOW CLOSED TO NEW PROMPTS!  PLEASE POST YOUR NEW PROMPTS HERE, IN POST 2!  Do continue to fill prompts here but please put all new prompts in Post 2.






 
Welcome to the Three Sentence Ficathon!

Here's a Friending meme!

What is the 3 Sentence Ficathon?
This is an open exchange where you answer a prompt with a fic consisting of only three sentences. It's open to all fandoms and you can post and fill as many prompts as you like, as many times as you want.

What do I do first?
You can start 3SF by posting prompts! When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character(s), prompt word/sentence.

Only one prompt per comment please. So, for example,

Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't like sand."

Open ended and anthropomorphic fills are popular too, such as:

Any, Any, "I don't like sand."

or

Earth geography, sand, "I don't like humans very much, either."

What happens after that?
You answer other posters' prompts in three sentences (or more if you can't stop yourself) and fill as many prompts as you want, as many times as you wish. If you see that a prompt you loved has already been filled, go ahead and fill it again! Multiple fills of the same prompt are allowed and even encouraged! (We get really fun stories going this way).

Can I still post if I need more than 3 sentences? Or should I just abuse grammar in ways the English language never contemplated?
Yes. Yes.

But I'm not a member of Dreamwidth
No problem. You can comment anonymously or through open ID

I'm really overwhelmed by all the prompts and how much there is and how fast it goes. I can't read 1,000 prompts and fills. It's too much. 
I hear this a lot and it keeps a lot of people from participating.  The 3SF is big and it moves fast, especially at first. 
I get overwhelmed, too, and I'm hosting the thing. With 2020 and 2021 sucking so badly you don't want something that's supposed to be fun cause you anxiety.  I have a couple of suggestions for managing the 3SF volume. 
  • First, really, you don't have to read every prompt and fill on every page.  You can start at the last page of this and just go forward, or back a page or two.  It's fine.
  • You can come and go as time and energy allow, you don't have to participate the whole time, and it drops off quite at bit after about 2 weeks and especially once we open a new post because this one is approaching 4,500 comments.
  • Even after the 3SF and new prompting end, people fill prompts all year long.
  • You can fill an already filled prompt and you can can leave a prompt that's already been prompted before.  People do it all the time. 
Always make sure you're looking at top-level comments only, not threaded. That helps a lot. Your screen should look like this.




But shouldn't I read everything to see if someone already prompted the same prompt I want to leave if someone already filled it? 

No.  Prompt as many times as you want, as much as you want.  It doesn't matter if someone prompted the exact same prompt.  Go ahead and prompt again!

I left a prompt and no one filled it.  Can I prompt it again?
Absolutely!

Can I spread the word?
Yes, please. I generally fail at creating banners and embed codes but if you create one and make it really idiot-proof, I might be able to post and share it.  Feel free to cross-post this entry. If you create your own banners or icons, let me know and I'll share!
Please share the 3SF with your followers, friends, and any channels and comms you are active on.  I'll post on fandom calendar, Tumblr, and Twitter, but I don't have many connections in other spaces such as Discord.

Here's my attempt at a text box that might go horribly awry.






How long will it go?

The 3SF closes to new prompts on February 13, 2022. The entry stays open permanently and people post fills all year long.  (There were a bunch of new posts to the 2021 3SF this week!)

Are there any rules about cross-posting?
Nope, you can post wherever you want, whenever you want. A lot of folks collected their responses together and posted them on AO3 under the 3 sentence fiction tag. 3SFs are a terrific prompt for remixes and could be helpful for Yuletide bears, too.

What about spoilers, content and archive warnings, triggers, pairings, ratings, tags, and squick?
I thought a lot about this. It boils down to reader beware.  In my experience, this typically gets too big, moves too fast, and the stories are too short for content warnings and ratings to even apply. It is too big for me to moderate in this way. You should assume spoilers are fair game and that the initial poster and the responder have opted to use no content warnings or tags. This means AO3 content warnings for dubcon, violence, canon character death, underage, etc. COULD be present (and much more). I've found personally that I can skim and scroll by stuff that, from the prompt, I can tell isn't my favorite flavor of delicious cake. Use your best judgment, protect yourself, and be prepared to skip over things that aren't your thing. In this format, the obligation is on you, the reader, to protect yourself from triggering content.
Some posters do include warnings and spoiler tags or include spoiler space, but they don't have to do so.


Why is 3SF split among several posts?  That seems confusing.
It is confusing and we always lose momentum once we have to move to a second post. The reason is because at 5,000 comments to a single post, DW installs a human test CAPTCHA, which is a pain for users.  So, once this entry gets to the upper 4,000 comments, I open a new post.  If you've been waiting until things slow down to participate, when we open a second post is often a good place to join.

If I have questions, what do I do?

I'm rthstewart everywhere, here, Twitter, Tumblr, gmail and AO3.

A special thank you to [personal profile] conuly  .

He avoids her stare as he wraps a bandage around her hand with same gentle precision he would apply to disarming a bomb, but he still noticed Jyn flinch from the disinfectant spray.

"Doesn't hurt at all, thanks," she says casually, carefully flexing her hand, and gives him a hesitant look, before she leans toward him.

The kiss on his cheek is brief, but the smallest touch from her overwhelms him and Cassian needs a moment to recover before he kisses her back.

Any, any, favourite pizza toppings

love is (accepting each other's pizza toppings), smallville, clark/lois

[personal profile] svgurl 2022-01-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pineapple?"

Clark barely refrained from wincing at Lois's horrified expression. She was looking at him like he told her she was an alien, or how he feared she might look at him- in fact, she had been enthused about that particular revelation. This one, on the other hand, wasn't going down as well.

"It's good," he protested. "Have you had Hawaiian pizza?"

"It's pineapple," Lois said, making sure to put emphasis on the word that had so clearly offended her. "Fruit doesn't belong on pizza."

He wrinkled his nose. "Well technically, tomatoes ..."

"Don't start with me, Smallville," she interrupted, huffing. She wandered off to the phone, pizza menu in hand. "I can't believe I'm going to marry a man who likes pineapple on his pizza." She pointed the phone at him, almost in warning. "But you're getting your own pizza! I will not have your pineapple contaminating my meat." She paused. "That sounded less dirty in my head."

Raising an eyebrow, he smirked. "Since when has that stopped you?"

"Whatever, pineapple lover," Lois said, but she was smiling. She gave him a thorough once over, and he found himself straightening under her gaze. "We can talk about other types of collaborations ... after."

"Can't wait," Clark said, grinning, as she went off to make their dinner order. He could hear her mutter 'pineapple' under her breath, and he let out a small laugh.

One thing was for certain: he couldn't wait to marry her.

"I want sausage!"

"Pepperoni!"

"Extra cheese!"

"Poutine!"

Shadow, Miya, and Reki all turned to look at him, mouths open. Over at the counter, Joe was standing over the pizza dough and shaking his head, and looked a little like he was trying not to laugh.

"What?" Langa asked. "I like poutine."

(Found it!)

Cassandra's not sure how to account for how easily her adoptive father circumvents her curse. Perhaps it's merely how his mind works, twisting through thought like an eel, always looking for new angles; perhaps it's because he too has been a plaything of the gods and knows what it feels like.

Either way, Cassandra marvels at having found apparently the only man in all the world who hears a woman's words and says that doesn't sound right, but I choose to trust you anyway.

It may be that clever minded Athena hears her prayers and blunts the edge of her brother's words, or it may not.

Cassandra offers her her fervent thanks and gratitude regardless - woe to her a thousandfold should she anger another of the gods with a lack of proper acknowledgement of their largess, and as daughter of her father, overlooked and ignored as her words are, she can more than provide suitable offerings.

Even year after year into war, even as the camp outside the walls grows to be a city, even an enemy of her king and people - but he hears her, and her words, and he listens, and the man who is no one (for is that not how he had introduced himself?) takes a tight-lipped heed.

Any, any, raisins are only disappointing because you expected chocolate chips instead

You Are My Glory

[personal profile] ruanchunxian 2022-01-18 11:57 am (UTC)(link)

The news that Jing Jing was bringing her boyfriend home for the holidays was enough for her grandmother forget her car sickness and consent to be driven down to Yixing, and when Jing Jing and Yu Tu arrived at her house after having lunch with his parents, the fragrance of lamb meat permeated through the house.

At dinner time, Jing Jing spent at least ten minutes meticulously picking raisins out of her polu, to Yu Tu’s amused gaze.

“When I was little, I thought the raisins were supposed to be chocolate chips and was so disappointed they weren’t that I can’t stand the taste of them,” she explained when he asked what she was doing.

He gave her an even more confused look. “Why would you expect chocolate chips in a lamb rice dish?”

“I was five!”

Stiles watches, with his mouth shut and hand holding on to Derek so he won't say anything, as his father's face lights up at the sight of the big plate of cookies on top of the counter.

Then he watches the absolute look of horror and betrayal when he reaches out for one of the cookies and bites into it. "Son, how could you?"

"Raising are only disappointing because you expected chocolate chips instead," Stiles tells him and grabs one cookie for himself and one for Derek. "That's all on you, dad."

It is some time after the cure is found that any of them are able to appreciate trail mix, because on a recently empty stomach it feels too much like starving, but things have started to get back to normal. “Here, have the rest of mine,” says Artemy, dumping a mix of fruit of nuts onto Daniil’s plate, and he winces as he realizes too late that it’s disproportionately raisins as he picked around them, with hardly any chocolate left at all, but his boyfriend’s face lights up.

“You saved the best part for me, you old softy,” Daniil says with a delighted kiss on the cheek, and Artemy figures, sure, why not, this arrangement is perfect for both of them.

[personal profile] mad_madam_m 2022-01-24 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Ainosuke-sama, you've received a package of cookies." Tadashi placed the tin, carefully unwrapped, on Ainosuke's desk.

Ainosuke's eyes lit up. "Oh, from a secret admirer?" He opened the lid. "And chocolate chip! My favorite."

"From your aunts," Tadashi said, just as Ainosuke had taken a giant bite, "and they're oatmeal raisin."

Ainosuke spit out the cookie and dumped the rest of the tin in the trash, and Tadashi made a mental note to pick up a few chocolate chip cookies from the bakery down the street the next time he was out on errands.

In their...family (can he call it that?), childhood is a strange concept. Din's was cut short, Grogu's was strange and then interrupted and now strange again and always far longer than Din's concept of childhood previously encompassed, and most of their fringe family members have not had the most typical of childhood experiences either (Din guessed that was what nearly a century of war did...though he wasn't quite sure about the wars, everyone said they'd happened, so he guessed he would believe them).

Still, despite all of their abnormalities, Din was determined to give Grogu the best childhood he could, even if he had no idea what that meant—he should probably find someone to ask about that

Susan is a sister without siblings and a daughter without parents, but at least she can talk about that; at least other people understand what she is missing. When her brothers and sister were killed, along with them died everyone who knew she was once a queen, everyone who had seen Narnia's green hills and foamy seas from Cair Paravel. She has never spoken of it to anyone else; now there is no one to speak of it to her.

Narnia, Susan, AU where Rabadash kept her in Calormen, will you feel anything at all?

[personal profile] snacky 2022-01-18 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been so long since she's heard her name, or even her proper title — in Calormen, she is Rabadash's wife, his princess, or the barbarian queen, and because of that, people (even her husband) avoid speaking to her directly— it's been so long that she's forgotten what her name sounds like, spoken by anyone.

But Susan grew up in a land of magic, and she knows the power that names have — it's best that they don't name her, because that would give them even more power over her than they have now, and Susan keeps what power she can, storing it up for when she needs it, for when it's time to make her move

When that time comes, she will know, because she will hear it ringing in her ears — "All hail Queen Susan the Gentle" and she will escape.

Ed doesn’t know what there is to envy in a little sister, a boring mewling thing, but the fascination remains. Lucy is a rival and a friend and a person to protect, and an ideal to aspire to, and she doesn’t even seem to know that she is half these things, which just isn’t fair!

Why do they all believe any silly little thing that comes out of Lucy’s mouth, but when Edlyn says the only truth that matters they ruffle her hair and say of course that can’t be her real name?

"I know this one," Nandor said, with an exuberance that made Guillermo's heart sink. "It's al-a-kam," he said, with such pride; he gestured toward's Guillermo's sandwich which would have been tasty had Guillermo had anything to put in it; "Alakam," Nandor repeated, obviously proud.

"Almuerzo," Guillermo said softly; he touched Nando's hand, trying to temper the disappointment, but the vampire pulled away.

"Stupid language," Nandor said; "Why did you have to change it, it was perfectly good!" and Guillermo raised an eyebrow and moved on to the next word.

"I told him it was a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory," Guillermo admitted to the camera.

A gravely voice announcing "I am the danger" could be heard from a laptop in the next room over, followed by another delighted roar of laughter from Nandor.

A weak smile resignedly tugged at the corners of Guillermo's mouth. "I guess it worked."

She's the one who breaks it up, soft words getting Wei Wuxian to step back and stop fighting, to give up his anger at Jin Zixuan and accept her quiet resignation, her insistence that it doesn't matter, this insult to her; she's the one who speaks up the second time, soft words of apology to Jin Zixun turning into firm and resolute questions, replacing Wei Wuxian's anger with her own, insisting that it does matter, this insult to him, because he matters to her.

And Lan Wangji stands by both times, his hands empty and his heart full. (He doesn't know yet about the third time, when her soft words will be gone, and his hand will hold everything that matters, for a while.)

Doctor Who - Hello Sweetie

[personal profile] vendettadays 2022-01-18 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh–it was a single syllable stretched into a breathless utterance the moment River saw the Doctor.

She was a Doctor unlike any incarnation before with soft blonde hair that brushed the line of a firm jaw, instead of gelled or floppy brown, and absent of any hint of grey; a long coat, instead of sensible suit jackets or tweed blazers but at least the suspenders had stayed; and a secret spark to her hazel eyes like she shared a secret only she and River knew.

The woman in front of River was different, more intimately familiar, but still very much the Doctor and that was it took for a wide smile to appear on her lips as she said, ‘Hello, sweetie.’

One of them will die today upon the Fold, and they both know it. They cannot live in this world together any longer, the dark and the light, always at odds, never using their power together, never shining the light upon the darkness, or letting the shadows fall to hide in.

They could never find the common ground they needed in this life, but Aleksander knows this: when the end comes, no matter who survives, they will never forget, and they will come together again.

If they *must* have their canon ending, this is the best possible way to look at it - soulmates across lives is just as good as soulbonded in one life, after all.

(and you chose my favorite line for the title, and one I associate so strongly with him. PERFECTION.)

These two really hit that soulmates vibe for me, sooooo hard. I love the idea of them just replaying the lives until they get it right.

She is lost.

She is lost and she is alone, and it's been so long since she's seen a familiar face or heard a voice (the one her soul longed to hear), and Ravka's winter is taking the life from her, leaving her a frozen husk of the sun summoner she once was, and then she hears her name.

"Alina," he says and the shadows start to fall.

The images that last line conjures up are just...YES. I love it.

(She's lost but her soul longs to hear him!! Just leave me here to die, please.)

He starts to walk away, to leave her behind for good, to never look back, but she says his name.

"Aleksander—" it's barely more than a whisper, it's a wonder he heard it, and it's been so long since he's heard his name on someone's lips that it almost doesn't register, but he hears it and he turns to look at her.

The sun is setting, and the sky is the perfect mixture of dark and light as she smiles at him, and says, "Aleksander, we can try again."

(do i need darklina icons? it is possible)

(YES you absolutely need Darklina icons, at least if you're going to keep playing around with me in this dumpster.)

THE NAME THING OH GOD. It kills me and I love it. The way it almost doesn't register for him! The sky being at just the right moment to blend them! Alina not wanting him to leave!! Yes more of all of this, please.

(That song is SO Darklina, I swear)

Listen, I'll follow you into the dark(lina) lolol.

I have to confess, the Name Thing is kind of a kink for me. And you were right, anything with light works so well for them.

(Oh god, do I need to go see if that's a Darklina song??)

You know it is for me too just from the initial reaction I had to reading it!! It cemented their OTP status for me for sure.

(I have so many more light and darkness-related prompts for them...so many...)
