little_lady_d | DF Three Sentence Ficathon

Inspired by the annual Three Sentence Ficathon, for the Desperate Fans Community! This is a mini fic exchange for all the Desperate Fandoms. Alt universes and crossovers are (of course) encouraged.

Prompt Format

character(s), universe (if applicable), prompt word/sentence

For example, for an alt universe fic, you could prompt

Shen Yuan/Sagramore, Arthurian Isekai AU, sword innuendo

For a normal day at the mansion,

Gideon + Mercutio, sword innuendo

To fill a prompt, reply directly to the original comment. There’s no limit to how many fills a prompt can have — just create a separate subthread for each fill. If your fill is NSFW (if your sword innuendo is too spicy), please mark it as NSFW in the subject field.

If the spirit moves you, and you end up writing more than three sentences, feel free to post it, anyway. It will still be loved! But I will tell you that half the fun is testing the limits of what a sentence can be, so let your sentences run wild.

Shen Yuan/Sagramore, Arthurian Isekai, sword innuendo

From:

sagramore

Shen Yuan is pretty sure it breaks the rules for the love interest not even to be a named character, what the hell T.H. White, but whatever, because this is obviously the love interest, even if everybody in the book can't shut up about that Lancelot guy: tall, dark, handsome (Shen Yuan isn't gay, but he obviously can tell when someone is handsome), with the eye crinkles and the chest hair and the grin -- Shen Yuan narrows his eyes. Is T.H. White gay?

Maybe that's why there are no well-written female characters in this stupid thing.

three sentences is hard sob

The Darkling/Apollo, AU where Baghra is present at the Mansion, everyone meeting each other

From:

imperfect_tense

Baghra leaned heavily on her cane and appraised Apollo critically while ignoring her son glowering angrily at her. Tall, chiseled physique, rather easy on the eyes and slightly glowing to boot - Aleksander really was so predictable.

"Well, my son always did like his lovers to be beautiful and stupid."

o m g this is so good. baghra is such a specific kind of judgey mother x 1000 and the judgment here is so cutting and succinct, i can feel the physical discomfort everyone in the room with her must be sharing.

Any, everyone has turned into animals for the day

From:

biteybaby

It is no secret that Sunny Baudelaire, even when she hasn't been turned into a very small, very round, very moist, baby hippo, enjoys biting. That urge is even stronger now, and she waddles her small, round, moist baby hippo body over to Magnu's knee and clamps her mouth down around it. "Smile," he says, snapping a photo of her and his leg with the polaroid camera.

The great expanse of space outside sped by as the crewmates gathered in the cafeteria for the emergency meeting, all looking at the small figure in the pink spacesuit that had pressed the button.

"Impasta," Sunny declared, pointing at Noo-boh.

"No!" Crowley gasped.

From:

onthewillowsthere

"Beloved, thou dost everything so neatly," Claudius says, leaning over to steal a look at Galahad's page, and Galahad glances back at him, almost expectantly. There will be a but. "But dost thou not think Tinker Bell has the vibes of a redhead?"

From:

little_lady_d

aaah this is so sweet and cute, i love galahad's near-expectant look because he knows claudius well enough to know a but is coming. and you know what, tinker bell does have redhead vibes. it's not just that claudius has a thing for redheads (cough).

Szarka is a Good Girl, attentive to her family, and so even though she's in this strange long body (the one with drapey white fur covering its body, long black fur falling from its head, and a strange ~~blue~~ white collar in the wrong place) that struggles to properly stay on all four legs, she knows just how to communicate. On her normal-ish front paws and weird, long, multijointed back paws she walks right up to the figure recognizable as her sister even though Sunny's body looks a lot smaller than she's used to.

Opening her mouth, eager to finally speak to someone who will definitely understand her, she intones, "Ar ar."

From:

little_lady_d

omg the mental image is fantastic, and i love how in szarka's head you got for it. lan wangji's forehead ribbon as a weird collar ... where is the lie.

From:

little_lady_d

Claudius’s rabbit heart flutters fast in his chest, thudding danger-danger-danger in every direction, sights-sounds-smells heightened and overwhelming -- “I say!” exclaims Xiaoxue in Wangji’s voice, nose twitching brightly on Wangji’s face. “I could outpace a pack of griffins with legs like these. Come along, shushu,” he says, bold and beaming, “let’s have a nosh.”

Grantaire/Dionysus, streamer AU, the phone number Dionysus gave him at the mansion actually works.

Étienne was fully expecting to hear the number wasn't in service, but not only did it ring, it connected and he heard a new and familiar voice with an uncertain greeting on the other end.

"... Hello, Dionysus? I have a very strange story to tell you."

From:

little_lady_d

this is the perfect 3sf teaser because i want to hear the story but you captured that moment of the unexpected connection so well. i really liked the antithesis of 'new and familiar' and the relationship it evokes between two people getting to know each other while already feeling close. to be able to listen to their phone conversations ...

From:

drdulosis

"So," says the new arrival with a genial nod, "is that your son?"

Sunny slings an arm around Magnus's shoulders, ruffling his hair. "Nah," she says, "he's my big brother."

From:

little_lady_d

aah i for one think this is cute. i love how familiar she is with him, and thinking about all the years they've spent together, and sunny as a middle-aged lady but magnus is still big brother.

"I do not think she likes me very much," Temeraire says idly, as he curls up in Enjolras' lap. Charlotte, from the other side of the bed, is glaring, ears back, and her tail thumping angrily side to side.

"No," Enjolras replies with a sigh, "I suppose not."
