Three Sentence Fic-a-Thon

[lirazel]

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!

And it's not built on anything she can reasonably unravel, whatever this is--there are nuances she had never expected, heavy glances across crowds of people, her bare shoulder brushing against his leather jacket, his fingers pressed against the curve of her thigh or the arch of her back.

It's not what they say to each other, in the end: no sweeping declarations of love, no whispered forevers or rings; no bells (never any bells).

Instead, there are porch steps, his arms around her when she can't bear anything else, three small words before everything flashes bright and hot--and she knows (somewhere in between tears and the blood filling her mouth) that promises have never saved the world.

That's beautiful. Okay, and the resonance of that last line is slowly but surely bring me to tears. Oh, it snuck up on me. How (perfectly, wonderfully) sneaky of you.

Aw, thank you so much! I didn't mean to make you cry. D: *hugs you tight*

Oh, I knew would be able to write magnificent Buffy/Spike if you ever decided to! And I was right!

This is absolutely perfect. Thank you, love!

Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you.

Now if only I can write something longer, lol.

You're welcome! And it's true!

Yeah, that is one bad thing about this kind of format--it encourages you because hey! You're writing again! But then you remember how hard it is to put down a thousand words instead of a hundred and you must sigh.

By the way, I'm definitely planning on writing for your Mal/Inara prompt. I just need to come up with the right approach.
