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!

Sometimes, Claire wonders whether she's been made this way by accident or design, whether it's all part of their perfect little agoraphobic doctor (no secrets are gonna get seduced out of her after all, though, God, it saddens her to think that's the way they'd imagined her giving information away), or whether Topher simply forgot about that part of the programme, forgot to flip the switch and target her attraction at one sex or the other (or at both, or at animals, or at anything). When her thoughts turn this direction she considers hacking into Topher's computer once more, digging up her file and poring over the data of her make-up, just to find out whether this thing is a part of her or a lack, a thread stitched in the chemicals of her mind or a peephole snag in the fabric.

But she never goes; instead she gets on with her job, patching up the dolls who smile blankly at her pretty clothes, who probably understand better than anyone else in the building that she wears heels to stand tall, not to cause erections with her legs; instead she keeps her place in the machine, facilitating all those deviant sexual needs of others, wondering whether she should pity them for their desire.

Unexpected but totally fascinating. Very, very well done. Very.

Thank you! I should confess that this perspective on Claire is not something I made up on the spot - she's been my asexual muse for a while now.

Wow, I really love this.

[quinara]

Oh, thanks for saying so; I'm so glad. :)

Ooh, wow. What a perfect character to use for this prompt. This kind of identity exploration is very much the sort of thing I wish the show had done more with. Yikes, what a question.

Very nice!

Thank you! Claire's been my asexual muse for a while - because it makes so much sense.

Brilliant. Precisely what I'd hoped for. I think you captured the frustration of having you own very annoying, sweatervest-god, seeing him every damn day without being able to ask the whys of your own existence.

[quinara]

Thank you! I'm so glad it's what you wanted. Claire's story really gets to me, because how much would you ask your god about yourself, really if you had the choice?

[caboca.livejournal.com]

mmmm. Terrifying, innit. Especially because he's so... smug and fallible, so how could you possibly be anything other than wrong?

[duh-i-read.livejournal.com]

I am a little blown away.

[quinara]

*blush* Thanks so much for saying so. :)
