Three Sentence Fic-a-Thon

Let's do this thing!







THE THREESentenceFIC-A-THON



In this challenge, you write a fic consisting of only three sentences in response to a prompt. All fandoms/characters/ships are welcome, and you can leave as many prompts and write as many fic as you like. Please leave only one prompt per comment, though there can be multiple fic "answers" to each prompt.

Format:

Fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence


Please go here for more in-depth instructions, examples, and to ask any questions or voice any concerns you may have.

Pimp far and wide, please! The more participants, the more fic! And if someone wants to whip up a banner or something, that would be great!

Go forth and fic!

Tick tock, tick tock, the clock tick-tick-ticks all in a row and she knows the order's wrong because ticking musn’t go round and round but up and down in sideways spirals and backflips that float on air until they splash. It’s wrongwrongwrong and no one notices or cares (selfish the lot of them, blind they are), especially him (all he can think about is her, the girl wrapped in sunshine who wants to bleed light into him and burn him from the inside out), and she’d go to her sweet Spike but he’s already trapped in the spinning round and round (can’t kill wheels no matter she smashes the gleaming bits every night, come morning the wheels are back, shiny and new). It’s a lie, a horrible lie that’s screeching tick tocks making everyone rise and shine by the turning of the hand (she knows better, she knows the way the world twists and turns) and so she smashes the ticking into bits—lies are not to be abided.

Oh, awesome, awesome, awesome! Drusilla's so suited to this format because her mind can't be bound by the rules of grammar or punctuation, and I love how you took full advantage of it. And your Dru-voice is awesome!

I absolutely love the ending!

I'm so excited! This is exactly the sort of thing that I was hoping would come out of this Fic-a-Thon!

I think Drusilla's especially suited to the format, like you say. Because her mind is all about divergences and confusing twists. And the parentheticals fit her so perfectly.

I dunno if there's another one in me at the moment. The Drusilla prompt just sparked my response and I couldn't stop typing, but the spark isn't lighting again at the moment. ;)

Exactly. Another reason to love Dru.

Hey, I understand. I'm just glad the prompt caught your fancy. Though if you have any prompts you want to share, I'm sure someone would be willing to take a whack at them.

Beautifully done! The push and pull of Dru's whirling thoughts really sang.
