The Power of Tea

Prompt: 'any, any, tea makes everything better' for @three-sentence-ficathon

Summary: While waiting for Aragorn and the hobbits to reach Rivendell, Bilbo attempts to ease Gilraen's anxiety by offering her tea.

Character(s): Gilraen & Bilbo Baggins

Rating: G

Word count: 1.8k (I tried to keep it short, I swear)

Excerpt:

Gilraen glanced at Elrond, wondering if Lobelia was some public figure whom she was meant to know, but he continued to gaze fixedly out of the window. He must be just as worried as she; Estel was his as much as he was Gilraen’s, after all. If only I could worry like an elf, all stoic and still. She was about to resume pacing when suddenly she discovered a cup, painted with daisies, being proffered in her direction by a pair of small, wrinkled hands. “Tea, my lady?” said Bilbo, even as he pushed the cup into her hands. “I don’t -” Gilraen began, just grabbing the cup before it slipped from her fingers. “Marvellous concoction, tea,” said Bilbo, already pouring another cup. “Perfect for anything really. A little pick-me-up during a long afternoon. Something to warm your fingers when it’s frosty outside. And of course if nerves need a little soothing …” He glanced meaningfully at Gilraen, whose legs were already itching to begin a circuit of the room again.

3SF: Narnia, Lucy/Caspian, you’re so gorgeous/i can’t say anything to your face/cause look at your face

The first time Lucy sees him, this Telmarine prince, this soon-to-be Narnian king, her heart skips a beat; it's embarrassing, considering how many years she's lived in her heart if not in her body, that she could still find someone that young so... interesting. But she's too young for him, the way she looks now, and he doesn't look at her the same way she looks at him, and so Lucy packs up that longing and puts it away until a dark and lonely night in England when she can reflect back on this young and dashing prince and imagine what could have been.

And then: a painting, a flood, an ocean rescue, and suddenly Lucy is dripping on a deck in the middle of the Eastern Sea and Caspian is there again--and this time, he looks at her, and blushes, and looks away.

2024 Three Sentence Ficathon

[violsva]

3SF!

My first six three sentences fics this year (all actually 3 sentences) are on Dreamwidth over here, and hopefully more to come. The Blue Castle (L. M. Montgomery), Band Sinister (K. J. Charles), Carmilla, and Dimension 20: The Ravening War, in a wild assortment of fluff, humour, angst, and darkfic. Second post now open for prompts here.

3 Sentence Ficathon - DC Comics, Courtney Whitmore & Emiko Queen

Emiko has never had a best friend before-- never had the chance, before she came to live with Ollie and joined the Teen Titans-- before she'd met Courtney. She forces back a yawn and glances down at Courtney: her blond hair splayed out behind them, her head resting on Emi's shoulder in sleep. As she tries to turn her attention back to the dumb monster movie they'd been watching, her last thought before falling asleep is that having a friend who knows both halves her life is pretty great.

Holy Guacamole, we've reached 1500 comments already!

Incredible work, you crazy kids.

But if the sheer number of comments is beginning to intimidate, here are some 3SF tips and tricks:

You do not have to read every prompt and fill on every page. Add new prompts immediately, if you wish. When filling, jump in wherever you want, whether that's the beginning, the (current) end, or somewhere in the middle.

You do not have to be participating the whole time. There's always a rush at the beginning, so if a slower pace is your thing, you can hop into the fest later in the month once the flood of comments has slowed somewhat.

You absolutely can fill prompts that have been filled by someone else. It's also just fine to leave a prompt that's been prompted before. (People do it all the time).

You can fill "any" prompts with any fandom--even your own original stuff! And there are a ton of "any fandom" prompts in the mix this year, so feel free to use those if you can't find something for the specific fandom you want to fill.

You can change the comments view to make things easier to browse! Dreamwidth automatically shows the Threaded view, but you can switch to Top-Level Comments Only for a cleaner experience.

In conclusion, don't stress! Just hop on in, leave a couple of prompts, write a couple of fills, and soon enough you'll find yourself in the swing of things ✍🏻

And if you have any other tips, share them in the reblogs!
