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  .

FFVII, ensemble, Shinra Tower is hosting a reality TV series and Sephiroth's Looks at the camera accidentally became the star

[personal profile] raisedbymoogles 2022-01-15 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Just don't look at the camera, and act natural, he'd been told, but no order had ever been more difficult to obey. Constant monitoring had been his norm since he was small, but those cameras had had the good manners to stay up in the corners of ceilings where he could ignore them - these camera operators were everpresent, staring, and always on the move, especially when Sephiroth was trying to train or issue briefings or keep a neutral face while Heidegger was on another one of his little rants.

Apparently his neutral face was failing of late, but he couldn't deny a little thrill of vicious satisfaction when Zack informed him that his 'General Face' in the face of Executives Behaving Badly was consistently the most popular and most-...meme'd (?) part of Shinra Tower Confidential.

Sephiroth staring directly into the camera like he is on the Office would be amazing. Hell yeah it should be the strongest meme. They really gave him the worst instructions too, "act natural". I can only imagine the IT Crowd scene and Sephiroth is Noel Fielding's character, naturally. <3

Amos rolled his sleeves up and ignored the looks he got from people as he made his way through the crowd after saving the world again--he knew he looked good in his white shirt with varying patches; Peaches had said so.

He smiled when he got to his target, snaking an arm around her waist and twirling her around before she could kick him in the balls and drop him right then and there, and said, "Chrissy, a dance?"

Chrisjen Avasarala's expression went from murder to amusement while she raked her eyes over his shirt; and then she let out a laugh, clutched his arm, and said, "I fucking hate when you call me that."

(also I hadn't seen this picture and it's my new favorite thing now lol)

Jorts & Jean, either or both, reenacting the woman-doing-math meme
nasimwrites: (Default)

[personal profile] nasimwrites 2022-01-16 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Pam always tried to explain it to him. It was almost every day, at this point. As Jorts pushed the closed door to the Food Place with his head, he could feel Jean whining on the other side. Jean want out. Open door, Jean! He looked up, focusing all his ginger gentleness. Open door, Pam!

"Silly boy," said Pam, opening the door. Jean brushed past him, giving him a lick as she went -- she could smell the Dorito powder from the trash can. "Now, see, I'm going to leave the door ajar. Try pulling it with your paw, not pushing with your head!"

She had done this a million times before, but for the first time, the sight of Pam's painted pink claws against the doorframe made something fall into place. He reached forwards experimentally, pushing a paw through the gap. The door widened.

Oh, thought Jorts. It all finally make sense. NOT always push. Push when going to Food Place mean door close.

"See, Jorts?" Pam said, baring her teeth widely. "I knew you were a smart cat after all. Now, do it again! Practice makes perfect!" She reached for him, pulling him back, away from the food.

She closed the door again, until the gap was tiny. Then she prodded him towards the door again.

Mrph. Maybe not. Jorts plopped his butt down onto the floor and very ineffectively licked his paw. Then he got up and deliberately pushed the closet door closed with his head. Oops. Time for a nap on his favorite boot tray. He could steal a snack from the trash later. Pam not my manager.

On a metal world far from Earth, Spike crouched amid his fellow stowaways and pitched his voice low. "Okay, what's our assets?"

"Your looks, my brains," Carly responded archly, "and Raoul's dance skills."

"Also my Walkman and a set of miniature flash grenades courtesy of Wheeljack," Raoul volunteered. "Tracks hooked me up."

"Well, that's better than last time," Spike grinned. "Let's go cause some mayhem."

The hospital looks deserted, nothing to indicate that it's inhabited by monsters that wear the face of men, worse than any goddamn walker. He's heard what they do there, to the women. The ground trembles beneath his boots and the air turns frosty as he takes the stairs, one eye focused on Rick and the kid but most of his attention on the landing, the door, the hall that will lead him to her.
ernest: (don't panic)

RWBY, Ironwood

[personal profile] ernest 2022-02-20 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ironwood knows these kids are right and he hasn’t been acting in the best interests of his citizens; he’d have failed even if he wanted to focus on all of them at the expense of the rest of Remnant. He reaches across the aisle, makes plans to protect the most vulnerable first, but before he can shake hands a single chess piece lands in it, along with the knowledge that his enemy cannot be destroyed

His hand becomes a fist once more, his tyranny all the worse for the fear in his eyes.

Obsidian & Blood, Acatl & Acamapichtli

[personal profile] notapaladin 2022-04-27 02:11 am (UTC)(link)

“I want vengeance,” Acamapichtli says. Even though he’s not quite looking at Acatl, his voice is like stone, and Acatl hears the unspoken vows behind it. Acamapichtli will avenge his clergy, and Acatl will be either at his side or in his way.

There was a time when he would have at least recommended caution. That was before Tizoc turned his attention to his beloved sister. The walking corpse they so foolishly placed on the throne hasn’t made his move yet, and Mihmatini herself is confident that she can handle it, but Acatl knows that the moment for caution is long gone. (Teomitl may have nobility and an army, but he has his own ideas. Knives are involved.) And so he nods and stands aside, motioning for Acamapichtli to enter the inner confines of his temple. They can speak privately there.

If Tlaloc and Mictlantecuhtli disapprove of Their High Priests planning regicide, They do not make Their opinions known.

Narnia, Susan Pevensie+Aslan, How do we forgive our Fathers? Maybe in a dream

In dreams, she is still in Cair Paravel, golden crown on her head and velvet dress brushing against marble floor, candles shining, twinkling like starlight all around her.

In dreams, her brothers and sister twirl her around on the dance floor and they weave between fauns and nymphs, as her parents watch from the marble dais.

In dreams, there is no breath of lion at her neck to jolt her awake to nubby linen sheets and the high-pitched horn of a distant train.

[personal profile] last_haven 2022-01-16 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I asked for this and I still got sad. It feels like even in dreams she can't forgive Aslan, even when those dreams should be what she wants. Also, the idea of Susan waking to the sound of train horn is just haunting.

Also, I learned the word "nubby" which I somehow had never heard of before. Delightful! Thank you for the lovely fill.

Apology (Narnia; Susan & Aslan)

[personal profile] kalira 2022-01-16 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"I did what I thought best, for you and for Narnia," Aslan said, and Susan held her head high with the poise she had learned as Queen, even as tears prickled at her eyes, "but I know that I caused you and your family hurt, and for that, Susan, my daughter, I am sorry."

Susan's eyes snapped open and she stared at the ceiling - whitewash in need of dusting, a familiar crack; not the arching, beautifully-carved stone her mind still said should be above her - as her throat tightened.

It wouldn't have eased the pain anyway, she thought, closing her eyes once more, but . . . perhaps it would have helped - the apology she knew would never come.

Iliad, Achilles/Patroclus, all that is gone and can never be again
wintercoffee: (Default)

[personal profile] wintercoffee 2022-01-21 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Achilles awoke, weeping, from a dream where Patroclus' shade demanded to be sent to Hades.

How could he let Patroclus go and lose everything that made up a life together: fighting side by side, lying side by side afterwards, the scent of him, the taste of him, licking the sweat from his chest and the wine from his lips, the sound of his laughter, the sound of his weeping, the sound of his singing, his hardness and his soft skin, the sun shining on his brass helmet and the moon shining on his face, feasting and games, mourning the death of friends, celebrating the birth of sons, a mosaic of moments that make up a life.

Soon their bones would be buried together and crumble under the inexorable weight of time; would the bards remember and celebrate them, or would they fade from the world completely?

Apologies if this ends up double posted. I thought I'd posted it but it disappeared into the aether.

[personal profile] fireburnbright 2022-01-26 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
I am not there, Patroclus calls, helpless and hopeless and sick with it, the fear clawing at his throat, tearing at his entrails. It is cruel that the fear persists when all other feeling has fled, that he is as vulnerable to the failings of the mortal heart when that heart is still and silent in the corpse Achilles sits beside.

But Achilles does not, cannot hear him. It is not the way of the living to heed the calls of the dead.

Patroclus offers his pleas nonetheless; to hear a ghost would not be the first miracle laid at the feet of his love's feet.

[personal profile] last_haven 2022-02-13 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, this is just heartbreaking--that Patroclus still has to feel fear is just disheartening and that he's still trying to help Achilles? Ah, right in the feels. Thank you for this, even if I'm very late in getting back to it.

Furiosa - she keeps the war name Joe bestowed on her, it's hers now - walks the walls of the Citadel, and marvels at the dusting of green against the dunes.

It's nothing like home - nothing will ever be again. But the seeds Dag planted were from Home, and now and then the hot-dry wind gusts just right to bring a scent of green life and flowing streams to her nose and she is transported, just for a fraction of a moment, to the green peace of her childhood.

"Occupational Hazard", You Are My Glory (Cdrama)

[personal profile] ruanchunxian 2022-01-16 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
When shooting period drama scenes involving some mysterious unidentified compact brown medicinal pill, you’d usually be fed chocolate instead, and sets of period dramas that anticipate such scenes are never short of Maltesers. Jing Jing didn’t mind them – it wasn’t like she was ever in enough of these scenes to develop an opinion of any sort about them – but today, she could barely swallow the dry, crumbly piece of tasteless honeycomb and chocolate in time to catch her next dialogue cue.

“I almost feel like I should ask how long that packet’s been opened or if it was even within date,” she grumbled quietly to Xiao Zhu after the director had called cut, “it still tastes like sand in my mouth.”

"Oh for- Is it that difficult to believe I managed to create a dessert that you actually enjoy?" Sun Woo asked with a pout that Jin Hyuk had seen bring any number of smitten idiots to their knees.

Jin Hyuk examined the chocolate on his fork, then took another cautious bite of the simple galette; it was smooth and bitter, rich but with barely even a trace of sweetness.

"You needn't say anything," Sun Woo said, obviously preening with pleasure, "it pleases me just to see you eating something I have made," he paused, with a little moue, "without spitting it out or making yourself ill."

Melt (The Terror, Collins/Goodsir)

[personal profile] flowerdeluce 2022-01-17 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Chocolate didn’t melt at these temperatures; it almost didn’t melt at the skin contact of Harry’s fingers either, the tips of which barely left prints in the surface once stripped of its foil and, really, had one questioning if it were real chocolate at all.

The first occasion he had to feed a square to Henry Collins, its purpose was bringing the man from shock, drawing him to the present where a sweet flavour and scent might drive back the horrors gripping him.

Later, between the wet, slow presses of a kiss, Harry shared his willingness to feed Henry again, for Henry to crack the confection with teeth, melt it messily upon his tongue, and for Harry to touch the apple of his throat as he swallowed the offering down—Henry obliged, naturally, until his kisses tasted only of chocolate and Harry was certain he'd never look at his rations in quite the same way again.

Scum Villain's Self Saving System, Shen Qingqiu & Shang Qinghua

[personal profile] marquisguyun 2022-01-20 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Shang Qinghua stared suspiciously down at the dessert he was holding. "Are you sure this is real chocolate?" he asked. "I'm pretty sure there wasn't any chocolate in Ancient China."

Shen Qingqiu glared at him. "You wrote papapa flowers into this world and you're complaining about the historical accuracy of chocolate??? If you won't appreciate Binghe's hard work, maybe you don't deserve to eat it!"

Shang Qinghua squeaked and clutched the chocolate protectively against his chest. "I didn't say that! You can't hog my son's cooking all to yourself!!"

Hades (game), Zagreus+Hades/Persephone, Zagreus re-enters the throne room from the Styx at a really inopportune time

(Anonymous) 2022-01-15 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"My goddess," Hades rumbles, his voice low as thunder as his lips brush against the bone of Persephone's ankle. His broad fingers curl lightly, reverently at the back of her ankle, up her calf, as gentle as though she were spring leaves new from the bud. Despite it all, everything they had been through and the hard, painful talks they'd had since she came- home, this echoing cavernous audience hall was home, and her heart sang even as her breath caught at her husband's attentions - he still touched her with all the adoration of a petitioner. The dark crimson of his eyes shift under thick lashes; watching her face, following the folds of her robe as they slide away from her thigh. "May I?"

She watches him for a moment, her supplicant kneeling before her throne, massive shoulders bowed to cradle one of her grass-stained feet with unthinkable delicacy. Pretends to consider, for all that he is already part-way between her legs and he can see the hairs rising on her legs at the brush of his beard against her skin. "You may," she decrees with all the gravity the Queen of the Underworld commands, and his eyes twinkle as his head bows-

There is a crash from the river landing, and they both freeze as a red-spattered form collides with an amphora.

"...oh dear," Persephone blurts, and lets out a helpess giggle as her husband growls against her ankle.

*cackles* YES! That's what I wanted--and so beautifully described as well. I think my favorite line is She watches him for a moment, her supplicant kneeling before her throne, massive shoulders bowed to cradle one of her grass-stained feet with unthinkable delicacy. The comparison to him as a supplicant! The contrast of his size to his delicacy! The detail of her "grass-stained feet"! I love it.

Heeee, thank you! The mental image just hit me all at once - and poor Zag too, I think he might've fallen right back into the Styx. XD And really, Hades is so HUGE next to Persephone! He's at least three times her size, at least across the shoulders, surely! But I really like the idea of her being far, far more dangerous, though the game didn't take it that way, so... :D

Hamlet/Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet/Romeo, “and out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone”

(Anonymous) 2022-01-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"You are too merry for this weary world," Hamlet informed him, but Romeo only shook his head and laughed.

"And you are too maudlin," he replied, crossing to drape his arms over Hamlet's shoulders and press his weight against the back of Hamlet's chosen chair. "Fair prince, will you not give audience to a cheerful thought?"

"As fair as a midwinter night," Hamlet says dryly, but he neglected to snap or pull away when Romeo bent forward, when his fingertips dragged lightly back over Hamlet's shaven cheek. "You are my sun," escaped him near unwilling just before Romeo's mouth pressed almost-chaste to his, and the rest...was silence.

Eee, thank you! I think Hamlet is practical and stubborn but needs someone to get him out of his own head before he spirals, and Romeo is a bit of a romantic himbo and can do that easily. XD

...and of course this leads to the thought of Juliet/Ophelia.

Himemiya Anthy was a better liar than a girl her age ought to have to be, but the signs were clear; he'd know for certain once he'd spoken to the chairman.

Akio came to the entrance still buttoning his shirt, stopped four short of the collar to brush back the hair from his eyes, and smiled. He said, "Come in," as though there were anything else he could do.

Admitting she needed help was like admitting she needed to be saved, and that wouldn’t do at all — she wasn’t a princess, she couldn’t be, or she’d still be in that coffin, curled in her grief like a blanket. She expected a counselor to call her confused, a silly girl who’d made a silly mistake (when that mistake was her reason to live and her life a mistake without it.)

“I’m going to be a prince,” she said, and the counselor listened, nodded, and asked without judgment — “What is a prince?”

[personal profile] last_haven 2022-01-23 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't help but imagine Utena's immediate reaction to be "lol what a stupid question" only to quickly turn into "wait... what DO I mean by prince?" after more than half a second of self reflection. So many identity problems, solved. Akio would have been shit out of luck in the later half of the series.

Thank you for the fill, it's wonderful!

The outside world, as Anthy had feared, was not safer than Ohtori. She knew this, made some mistakes, but it was still so much better to fuck up in freedom than slowly suffocate like a flower in amber. Still, there were some hazards that tripped her up again and again.

"Talk to a therapist" someone had said. "Go see a counsellor." said another. "What the fuck. What the fuck. You want me to kill him for you? Because I'll totally kill him for you." said a third.

Anthy didn't want another prince.

She went to a therapist.

"Why are you here today?" the therapist asked.

Anthy said something pleasant and false. Anthy left.

She went to a therapist.

"How do you feel about your mother?" the therapist asked.

Anthy said she loved her mother. Anthy left.

She went to a therapist.

"Compulsive lying, self sabotage, learned helplessness, history of self harm, clearly you have a personality disorder. For your own safety, I'm having you committed."

Anthy packed her scant belongings before the doctors could suspect a thing. Anthy left.

Therapist after therapist after therapist. All trying to shut her into coffins. So many aimed swords. Anthy wondered what to do. Was it really her? Did she do something wrong again? Something stupid? She can't be better off in the rose garden. Not after all this.

After a while, Anthy met the murderess at a cafe. Tea and cookies.

"I don't want to be rescued." Anthy said. A confession.

The murderess shrugged, more casual than even Utena had been. "I'm not trying to. But women like us, we gotta look out for each other, right?"

Anthy looked at her teacup. "Like us?"

"Yknow. Hurt. Bitches. Dykes. Crazies. Abused and shit." The murderess munched freely. "I dunno how much applies but I remember wishing someone would off my old man when he hit me, yknow? You looked like you could use the offer."

"What are you offering?"

"Community center holds meetings sometimes. Pick any you like, there's womens' support, an LGBT thing, or just general abuse survivor mutual support. There's a board with schedules but I can give you a pamphlet if y'want."

Anthy took a long sip of the tea.

"I'd like that."

Epilogue by a Fool (the Fool)

[personal profile] woodmr 2022-06-03 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)

Why, here’s a balmy riddle to confound
The gathered company of either land:
Who shall we blame, whose guilt abound,
For so much death and waste of fair Britain?

This man, unseemly and untimely born,
Schemed with those got in royal beds;
And neither sex nor blood nor age is shown
To ’scape the carnage where it led;

But whether was more fault of fate or men,
The pull of Mars and his vengeful demands,
Or mere mortal jealousy, spite, and sin,
’Tis naught to grief but futile mute commands.

So tragedy is raised by heedless acts,
Sown in base luxury, reaped with regrets.

[personal profile] undeadrobins 2022-01-15 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Wei Wuxian knows that the wolf isn't even real - he can see the shimmering outline that tells him it's just a figment of his overactive imagination - but he's still rooted to the spot, unable to move; he can't even lift his flute to his mouth (not that it would help at all against an imaginary wolf, but it would give him a measure of comfort).

Ironically, it's Fairy who saves him when she barrels through the illusion in her excitement to see him, shattering it completely.

As he falls to his knees, Fairy takes it as permission to come bounding over to him, pushing her furry head into his hand; it takes him a moment to realise that he's petting her, but when he does, he leaps up screaming and runs away, reminding Fairy (and everyone else around) that he's still not quite over his phobia yet... although there may yet be hope for him.
scytale: (Default)

[personal profile] scytale 2022-01-16 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes! :D I love the observation on the flute as (useless) comfort, and Fairy vs. the imaginary wolf! And the note of humor at the end, and then the optimism--and it all feels so symbolic of the complexities of his relationship with the Jiang sect and whether or not he can get over all the trauma and complications of the past overall.

And oh, Fairy. <3 The best dog, Fairy, even if she is a dog! And yes I am glad she gets the pet, and maybe there is hope for Wei Wuxian after all. ;_;

Shen Wei hasn't even stepped out of the Dixing portal yet when he realises something is wrong.

The grass blanketing the park is still verdant green as ever, the sun still bright, but the silence – Haixing has never been quiet like this in all the millennia he's known it, a hush so absolute it's almost like he hasn't returned to the surface at all.

A second tear in space opens without much conscious thought on his part, driven solely by the ice rushing through his veins; he needs to get back to the SID, now.

(It's all the mildly-horror vacant-city vibes until Shen Wei figures out what's going on, i.e. that something's gone wrong with the portal due to [insert appropriate reason here depending on which part of canon/postcanon this is set in] causing him to end up in a slightly-to-the-left parallel version of Haixing. Bonus points for (a) other Dixingren previously sent on Hallows-related missions also being stuck there and Shen Wei immediately activating his self-sacrificing mode (why) to get them back home at all costs, (b) Changcheng being the only one able to talk and/or see Shen Wei as an extension of his "communicating with souls on another plane" power and therefore having to pass messages, including (c) Zhao Yunlan threatening to break something possibly the universe because what the hell kind of sense does this make that he could videocall people in YOHE ten thousand years ago but not even talk to Shen Wei when he's all-but-physically right there – )

The Earth Weeps (Naruto; Hashirama & Tobirama)

[personal profile] kalira 2022-01-16 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hashirama felt the scream in his heart, felt the despair and sorrow as his mokuton surged with his grief, but no matter how easily weeping had always come to him - even when he wished it wouldn't - as his emotions spilled over. . .

The world was silent around him as he crumpled to the earth, the freshly-turned mound covering over his brother - his last brother, now taken from him; the one person who had always stood at his back - and bowed his head, barely seeing the greenery rapidly spreading over the raw earth.

New trees grew tall and strong as Hashirama's grief continued to rage, their branches twining tightly together as their leaves unfurled, protecting the tiny space as Hashirama had failed to protect his beloved brother in life.

I love the imagery -- the loss, the "freshly-turned mound", the greenery rapidly spreading over the raw earth., and the final image of the trees growing and protecting but how that also represents a loss. I don't know the canon but my eyes are prickling a bit with tears: the grief, the regret, the love!

Fill: Lord of the Rings, Gimli

(Anonymous) 2022-01-17 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Silver and gold in Gimli’s memory was Lorien in winter, fine as any treasure of the earth, and always there was song half-heard, impossible to hold in the mind once it had faded. In summer he returned, with Legolas at his side, and there was no elven song to greet them, nor laughing speech in a tongue he had no comprehension of. The power that had laid like twilight upon the Wood was fallen from it, and no silver was there where Galadriel once kept her mirror, nor gold — but the green was dark and deep, and in its silence, there still echoed the memory of music.

Robo & Fiona, Chrono Trigger, Fiona's Forest

[personal profile] azurefishnets 2022-01-18 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
The day they laid her to rest no birds sang in the forest; how painful, how silent was the acolytes' long journey to the center, wending past the glorious profusion of verdance to the last vestige of desert, the sandy soil reminding them all it had all begun once and again with a red-haired child soldier, a frog knight, and a princess of a far-a-when land came clambering out of the desert dirt and gifted their Lady with a mechanical man of uncertain provenance and boundless wisdom.

Even birds had sung in the desert, sometimes, filling the barren, dead air with hopeful song when all such had seemed lost, but now the forest arced over them and the wind was still, the air cool and soft and silent against their dry and solemn eyes as they spread in a silent circle around that same metal man now taking Fiona back to the earth she'd caused to grow lush and rich with new life.

No birds sang now; yet as Robo carefully placed the last rocks misted with mossy lichen over their Lady's rest, a bright hope sang in the birds' place for the forest to last long beyond them all, to bring their shared dream of flourishing green and peaceful silence for many generations still to come.

The Interim (Greenwing & Dart)

[personal profile] edenfalling 2022-01-24 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
When Astandalas fell, all the bindings the Empire had wrapped around its five close-held worlds shattered, for good or for ill, and all the brighter stars and deeper dark that had been trampled down and barred out for generations crashed down upon the provinces like a roaring spring flood when the ice gives way (as all things give way in their time).

Olive Greenwing felt the ties that bound her to the Woods Noirell strain and screech, and had barely the strength to see her son rush across the suddenly soft-edged room (had the walls always been so tenuous? the angles of the joists so debatable?) with fear etched upon his face before hungry silence swallowed her soul.

In the dim fog where she floated for many days thereafter, she prayed to the bees and the Woods and the honey and the sunlight, and most of all to the Lady of Green and White: that she would wake, that her son would live, that the world would regain shape -- and finally, after a timeless time, when all her words had worn smooth to meaningless sound, a bright leaf sprouted in the emptiness and the Lady's answer tinged the silence green.

The Sound of Silence

[personal profile] livewareissue 2022-02-02 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Tobirama sat, breathing deeply and silently, letting the sounds of the forest lull him into stillness. The sun filtered through the leaves around him but failed to warm him, and water burbled along the creek as the cicadas sang their song into the evening air.

The melancholy sound of their call never failed to remind him of the man who had created this - all of this - and Tobirama released his thoughts into the green of the world, "Anija, I miss you."

The Witcher, Geralt & Ciri, "do as I say, not as I do"

(Anonymous) 2022-01-15 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"I really don't see the problem," Ciri said indignantly, as Geralt covered his eyes with a hand both in a clear signal of dispair and also to avoid getting his arse singed by a fireball. "Tris and Yennifer-"

"Tris and Yennifer," Geralt gritted out, shifting his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, eyes still closed, "left me tied naked to the bed at the suggestion."

"Well," one of the two sorceresses curled in Ciri's blankets said with a purr, both of them entirely too amused and the three of them entirely too naked for Geralt to pull his hand away, "I'm terribly sorry Master Witcher, but she's much prettier than you are."

Transformers (G1, between S2 and the Movie), Optimus Prime and Daniel

[personal profile] raisedbymoogles 2022-01-15 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
The feral cat in the footwell of Optimus's cab hissed when Daniel opened his door, but settled down when Daniel set a paper plate full of wet food down in front of her and slid it within her reach. Her clowder of kittens, still so new their fur stuck up in damp spikes, slept on unperturbed as their mother devoured the food in neat little bites.

Resting his chin on his folded hands, Daniel asked, "Named them yet?"

"We cannot keep them, Daniel," Optimus answered, ever so reasonable and stoic despite the fact that he'd been refusing to move or transform since the mother cat had claimed his cab and both of them knew damn well he would continue his exiled vigil until she and the kittens could be safely moved. "They must go to keepers who can provide them proper care and attention, and war does not make for a consistent and safe environment." Daniel gave Optimus Prime's steering wheel a dubious look. ".......the little gray one on the end is Epsilon."

You Are My Glory (Cdrama): no such thing as too many rabbits(-shaped things)

[personal profile] ruanchunxian 2022-01-16 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Jing Jing supposed it started in high school, when her affinity for rabbit-shaped and rabbit-themed things, from erasers to giant stuffed toys, was a semi-conscious manifestation of her hopeless crush on Yu Tu, which gave Pei Pei so much ammunition to tease her frequently enough that it would have destroyed any friendship not forged in the fires of the necessity of a shared desk at school. In the years that followed high school, it had developed into a habbit, and over time, her Taobao algorithms learnt to feed her a continually stream of rabbit-shaped paraphernalia. So of course Jing Jing wasn’t surprised when, about two weeks before the KPL award ceremony and exhibition match, she got a push notification advertising a pair of sparkly rabbit earrings, and buying it was only another few taps of the phone away.

Roxy Lalonde's No-Frills, No-Fee Cat Café (Homestuck)

[personal profile] edenfalling 2022-01-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Listen, you have had a Very Difficult Year, and if defeating (or helping defeat) A) the alien fishqueen who destroyed your planet, B) an unbeatable universe-killing monster, and C) your own alcohol addiction, not to mention creating a whole new universe and recycling your poor battered homeworld doesn't entitle a lady to some choice rewards, you don't know what would.

And by rewards, you mean kittens.

Possibly slightly unwise numbers of kittens, but you are going to be a responsible cat owner this time around and get them all (well, mostly all) spayed and neutered at the appropriate ages, and make sure they have lots of space and enrichment and microchips to find them if they sneak out and get lost, and look -- you just want to make your home a comfy, welcoming place where all your friends can drop by whenever they want (or need) and there will always be fresh food, soft pillows, cool video games, and a purring cat for their laps.

Sam was putting his foot down this time. He really, really was. "No. Nuh-uh. Absolutely not. We already have two kittens. Three is too many."

Bucky held up the small black kitten, who mewed plaintively and rubbed its head against his chin. It was not cute. It wasn't. "C'mon, Sam. Like you said, we've already got two. What's one more?"

Two pleading pairs of eyes blinked at him, one pair yellow-green, the other baby blue, and Sam folded like a cheap suit. "Fine. But you're getting another litter box if we do!"

Anxious looking servants and guards alike start blathering at Cersei as soon as she nears her sons room, explanations and apologies all mixed together, the latest disaster apparently unforeseen by all. Cersei cuts them off with an imperious glare as she walks through the door, determined not to falter at what she might find inside.

And then-, she cannot stop herself from gasping in horror, not even Tommen’s happy greetings can distract her from the sight before her: for her sons rooms are filled to the brim with dozens and dozens of furry, mewling kittens.

". . .oh kami, I thought you had agreed to help Kagami with his kata and some new jutsu, not," Madara paused, catching sight of another young Uchiha peeking around the couch, "how many of you are there?" he asked absently, counting at least seven.

"I did," Tobirama said, resettling Kagami on his lap; he made a little almost-purr of a noise and cuddled closer, yawning, "but I was hardly going to tell them all no.

"You could have; you could have sent them home." Madara pointed out, despite the wide, pleading eyes that were immediately turned on him for the suggestion; Tobirama just looked . . . wonderfully content and pleased with himself, however, and Madara shook his head, feeling unutterably fond of his - perhaps slightly mad - partner.

Stagate Atlantis - mostly Elizabeth, John and Rodney

[personal profile] sallymn 2022-07-20 08:44 am (UTC)(link)

Major Sheppard came in first, alone and looking... conflicted. That was never a good sign.

"Major?" Elizabeth waited a moment, but none of the others - his team, several Marines and a dozen scientists from various fields, all of whom had been eager to check out the new planet and people - appeared. "Major, where is everyone? Did the inhabitants cause you trouble?" The locals had seemed friendly, she was planning a diplomatic visit herself, but... friendly was always a relative term in this galaxy.

"Well... not really. They liked us." He shrugged. "They liked us a lot, especially the geeks, even Rodney."

Which said volumes about their friendliness.

"And Radek. Took them all over the place, showed them all these gadgets and things, talked up a storm," Sheppard said. "I think the ruler wanted to keep a couple of them, but Ronon stuck close and looked mean, so... they gave the geeks presents. Lots of presents."

Elizabeth relaxed - a little - and tried not to think too smugly that if someone with the politic charms of their Dr McKay could charm these people into wanting to be friends, maybe for once, just once, Atlantis had stuck diplomatic gold. "That's wonderful, John. Anything useful to -"

Her voice dried as something large and fluffy and... purple dashed through the wormhole and threw itself at Sheppard, making the most appalling yowling noise. He staggered a bit but caught it - just - and half-turned his head. "Okay guys, you may as well bring them through now..."

And Rodney came next, beaming in a way she couldn't recall ever seeing, with a left armful of lime-green-striped something and a right armful of blue snuggling into his neck.

Radek was next - his something, which was as orange as his hair, blinked at her with its one enormous rainbow eye, and made a noise like a demented but happy tiger as he cuddled it. And someone else came behind him, with a pink-and-white one. And another, and another, and then Ronon with five of them, a rainbow of somethings clinging to him with far too many legs and tails and...

And...

And they looked like plush toys. Like demented, one-eyed, alien plush toy...

"Kittens," Rodney said cheerfully, while trying to pet his now wriggling armfuls without dropping them or his gun. "Or skittens, That's what we've decided to name them. It's a diplomatic gift, Elizabeth, we can't refuse them and there's enough for everyone!"

Elizabeth opened her mouth. Closed it. Stared at her senior staff, her most trusted and reliable people all draped in an interplanetary pet shop full of 'skittens'.

And - because her fur allergy had to extend to a completely alien species, didn't it? - started to sneeze.
