3 Sentence Ficathon

[rthstewart]

EDIT!  THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW PROMPTS,  PLEASE POST NEW PROMPTS HERE!

CaramelSilver isn’t running the awesome 3 sentence ficathon this year, but she said I could do it in her place!!  (Banner courtesy of CaramelSilver and thanks so much!)

What is the 3 Sentence Ficathon?
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, as many times as you want.

What do I do?
You post prompts!  When posting a prompt please format it this way:

fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence.

Only one prompt per comment please.

What else?
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 allowed. 

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

Can anyone play?
Yes!  Please pimp this to your flist, I'd like as many as possible to come and participate!

I'm cross-posting to LJ but we will keep all prompts and fills here, so they are in one awesome place (and with less spam). 

Here's a link for spreading the word to all your friends and comms (thanks snacky !)

How long can it go? 
CaramelSilver kept the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon up for a month.  I'd suggest closing it on Sunday, April 7, 2013.  How does that sound? (edit:  If we reach 5,000 comments sooner, I'll start a new one).

Are there any rules about cross-posting?
Nope, you can post wherever you want, whenever you want.  Last year, a lot of folks collected their responses together and posted them on AO3 under the 3 sentence fiction tag.

Gosh who are all these people writing such great prompts and fills?
Good question!  Come to the friending meme and introduce yourself if you like.

As  lady_songsmith explains, for the 2011 3 Sentence Ficathon, grim_lupine created a delicious account to archive the 3 Sentence Ficathon.   lady_songsmith has reactivated the archive on delicious for this challenge, so, here is the account (nothing current added yet, though): https://previous.delicious.com/3sentence She asks that if anyone would be willing to help knock down the backlog of the prolific-ness thus far, let her know!!  (She adds:  I know folks are kinda down on delicious with the changes, but, hey, it's an archive already set up with useful tags!)

On the subject of archiving, I really encourage people to collect and post their fills elsewhere.  That way, we can find your work more easily again, redundancy is always good and it's really useful for future remixes and other challenges and gift exchanges you might participate in. I'll start a linking post so that if you do collect all your fills and post them on your own blog or an archive like AO3, you can give give us the link in comments.

Greek Mythology, Praxithea; you always loved the smell of the wood burning.

Revenge, Nolan +/ Emily, trust

[meridian_rose]

Revenge, Nolan/Emily/Aiden, negotiation

[wingedflight]

It takes him off guard, sometimes, to look up in the midst of a discussion and see the awkward schoolgirl instead of the queen. And it hurts, sometimes, because he knows how hard she's trying to be what she once was.

(And he wishes, sometimes, that they'd all forget the past.)

Once Upon a Time, Rumpelstiltskin

[moon_blitz]

It all comes down to this - to Regina's hatred, to Snow and Charming's true love, to the curse working exactly as he expects it to.

It all comes down to this - to the Chosen One, the Saviour, to Emma breaking the curse on time.

It all comes down to this - to Rumpelstiltskin being able to finally see his beloved son again.

[wingedflight]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Sherlock, Spike & Sherlock, daytime soaps

[moon_blitz]

I'm missing you still, Ianto. The nights are longer without you by my side. Now I can only see you in my dreams, and damnit, that's not enough.

[pleonasm]

So glad you liked! ♥ Martha is criminally under-appreciated, I'm just doing my best to fix that.

Digimon Xros Wars, Ryo and Ken

[moon_blitz]

Ryo sees Ken for just a moment, running below what he can only assume is a Digivolved Wormon and he freezes in shock. He desperately wants to call out, but he can't, and it's fear that stops him. Ken won't recognize him, since he's Justimon now, and besides, the adventures they shared were in the past, and he's afraid to confront his best friend from the world he was torn away from so long ago.

[vialethe]

Oh, that last line! I love that maybe Susan isn't the only one who just wants to forget sometimes. And he understand how much she wants to be what she was! Oh, my darlings. Thanks!

[pleonasm]

Glad you liked! :D I love Luke and Sky, they're so cute.

[vialethe]

Discworld, Ridcully, can't a chap have a bath in peace?

[vialethe]

Avengers, Bruce/Natasha, is it just madness/swallowing me whole

[vialethe]

This is awesome - poor Luke.

[ruanchunxian0.livejournal.com]

Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Charlotte Lu, the art of trolling

(Because dammnit Char, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT??)

Once Upon a Time in the Old West

[moon_blitz]

She pulls on the reins to bring her horse to a stop, then looks around her new town. With its dusty streets and ramshackle houses, Storybrooke doesn't look like much of a frontier town, but then again it really isn't, since no new settlers will ever arrive. She sees Graham approaching then, wearing a white cowboy hat while sitting tall on his horse, and kicks her own mount into a trot so she can ask the Sheriff if he's free in the evening.

[buttonloops]

GLOMP SQUEE YES. This fixes everything to perfection. THANK YOU.

Re: I tried to keep the blatant spoilers out of it...

Are you on LJ?

Kami-sama no Memochou, Yondaime/Narumi

[moon_blitz]

When the fog following what happened to Ayaka finally lifts from his mind and he returns to the world, Narumi finds Yondaime waiting for him. Silence hangs between them, then Yondaime grabs his hand and pulls him into a hug.

It is only then that Narumi realizes that perhaps the hole in his heart can be filled by someone else.

(Yeah, I'm not expecting anyone to know the fandom, but I want to write it anyway)

[buttonloops]

WHEEEEEE.

"Edie, have you put frogs in my bed again?" Luke calls, and hears his sister giggling madly from the next room.

Once the laughter would have been malicious, her intent to send him shrieking from his bed like a child, embarrassing himself before the castle.

Now though, there's nothing in her giggles but childish glee, and though his sheets are a bit damp (and perhaps a touch slimy as well, truth be told), Luke finds that somehow he doesn't mind so much - though perhaps tomorrow he'll have a chat with the rats, see if they can't be convinced that yes, of course Edie would welcome their company at night.

[buttonloops]

Wow. I... There's an entire untold story here that I can't unravel, but the more times I reread it, the more I think you've captured something essential about the poem. Thank you!

[vialethe]

Maybe it sounds silly (because, well, of course), but I love the energy that your Lightning has here, and the way it longs to dominate the sky, even for that single moment.

[moon_blitz]

Leaving the barn has always tough for him, but now it's not just because he's leaving the world of technology behind. No, he's leaving Kiera behind now, and the guilt and worry that tears at him ever time he does so makes his stomach churn. He is her lifeline to the world she was ripped away from after all, and while he doesn't want to admit it, she is his lifeline to the world outside the barn - the world he both wants to escape and so desperately be a part of.

Re: Chasing Down an Anodyne

[buttonloops]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA FLAIL YES THIS IS JUST WHAT I WANTED. Thank you, Starbrow, for prompting! Thank you, Vialethe, for filling!
