3 Sentence Ficathon Fills Batch 3
https://rthstewart.dreamwidth.org/
Any, any, "Put me down, you're drunk." (Howl’s Moving Castle, Howl & Calcifer)
"Not drunk enough!" Howl lamented to Calcifer's frantic demands and he wouldn't have cared if the wizard hadn't scooped the wood he clung to in wavering hands while the spirit could only cling helplessly, watching the wood burn away, not really listening to Howl's ramblings.
But somehow through the cloud of mournful drunken despair Howl must have registered Calcifer's plight and demands to put him down because he finally did at last, and Calcifer slunk deeper into the hearth well away from the consequences of another failed endeavour with a lady.
Calcifer hid, Howl moaned and the whole of the castle remained in a sulk for the rest of the day until it was all forgotten in the morning.
Any, Any, See what the new day brings (Ace Attorney, Edgeworth)
It was finally over. Fifteen years the nightmare haunted him and then he woke after a quiet night, feeling strangely hollow and off balance. Now Edgeworth stood at his office window in the early morning sunlight, watching the city below, and there was a great deal to consider, but one thing was clear: this was a new day unlike any other.
Lilo and Stitch, Lilo, any
It was a hot and sunny day, the beach was crowded and Lilo scampered among the various tourists snapping away with her camera. This time she had an extra goal and the number of different people—so many—a funny seagull and a cute fish—she paused for a moment to feed it some snacks she kept in a bag at her side—were excellent targets. When she decided she had enough she ran back home with delight, knowing she had the perfect batch of distractions for the forlorn Stitch who had at last discovered a limit to his appetite.
Any, any, remember me, think of me/picture me, never forget me/you must remember me (Tales of Symphonia, Lloyd & Colette)
Colette stood with their camp, but apart and the moonlight—that at least seemed the same in this strange new second world—shone eerily off blank red eyes.
"...And how about that time I tried to help dad bake bread and it was really hard and you were willing to try it anyway until dad stopped you? Remember us, remember me; you've gotta," Lloyd pleaded, knowing it was hopeless, but there had to be something of her still in there, and he swore again and again every night and every morning he would find a way to bring her back—she would remember them all and she would be remembered as the Colette they knew and not another sacrifice.
Ace Attorney, Dick Gumshoe, finally getting a raise
"Detective," Edgeworth said, "I believe it is time for another discussion about your salary."
"Yes, sir," Gumshoe said, his shoulders starting to slump.
"That would be a raise," Edgeworth continued, and waited while disbelieving recognition dawned in a slowly widening grin and when Gumshoe let out a loud "whooop!" he suppressed his wince; the good detective deserved this much after all.
Gris, Mae & Block Buddy, a spray of apple blossoms
She knows this pattern now with her new-found companion and there's a quiet... pleasure in dropping apples one by one and basking in the moment of contentment if not herself then for them.
In a soft shower of petals the next apple falls and her friend does a small twirl as if to dance among them before setting to the newly fallen treat.
For a little while in this green place there's a spark of light.
Discworld, Death and any other character(s), any
IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE; WAX CANNOT KNOW.
"It doesn't have to make sense, Master, on account of it being tradition," Albert sneered, "and you can't say no to that, nossir."
I SEE, said Death ponderously as a skeletal digit delicately placed another candle around the single name written in goopy black gothic lettering, Susan, and he spoke again: YOU WILL GRANT SUSAN ONE BIRTHDAY WISH and ignored Albert's muttered 'oh dear oh dear'.
Trails of Cold Steel, Kurt, Overusing Blade Dance
The fight was a fierce one and pushed them all and now Rean curses himself as his eyes land on Kurt who's kneeling, shaking on the ground--his dual swords lying beside him as his hands no longer seemed to have the strength to wield them.
He knows how easy it is to fall into the trap of pushing and pushing well-past his limits for those he cares for and he should have seen it coming that the dedicated and prideful young man ran that same risk.
He offers a shoulder for his shaky student and apologizes to eyes full of incredulity and pride and when that appears to have little impact otherwise, changes tact to a short lecture that only has Kurt looking away, and maybe this lesson won't hold just yet, but he knows he doesn't want to see Kurt, nor any of his students, putting themselves in that position again.
Undertale, any, sunlight
The sun was long lost to the monsters underground, relegated to distant memory and myth until the day came that everything changed.
The monsters trickled slowly into this old and unfamiliar world. As Toriel's eyes landed on Asgore she saw the same wetness she felt when they gazed at the the warm sunlight like yellow flowers.
Lotr, any, just keep on talking
Some days Sam knows Frodo is only present in body and he fills the silence himself with talk of the buds in the vegetable garden, the blooming flowers throughout the Shire, his plans with Rosie and the games the children played. Those days Frodo will eventually smile and, eyes still distant, quietly request that Sam keep talking. So that is what Samwise Gamgee does until Bag End fills with warmth and Frodo comes home again.
Transistor, any, Fairview
They wanted a bridge to Fairview; the petition never saw completion. In a way though, they got what they wanted: connection in an emptying canvas as it all fades away. Fairview and the rest of Cloudbank are joined now by that tenuous and all-encompassing strand of Nothing.
any, any, wearing a loved one's clothes (Ghost Trick, Cabanela & Jowd)
Jowd would be the last to claim any sense of fashion, or he would be if wife and friend didn't firmly share that spot already, but even he could see that green didn't suit Cabanela. For his sake he kept his amusement at bay for now—it could come later in comfort and he did owe the man after all—but it was a hard thing when his own large coat looked several sizes larger than it already was on Cabanela's much slimmer frame, and if done correctly could likely be wrapped around him at least twice, which on second thought may have been a good idea as Cabanela shivered somewhere in there, hair still dripping water.
Ah well, there were always other methods and Jowd wrapped his arm around Cabanela's narrow shoulders buried under the coat's folds and held him there until he warmed up from the impromptu swim in the river.

100 Fandoms Prompt: Lighting
Fandom: Gargoyles
There were some things Elisa knew she would never get used to.
Goliath's arm was firmly around her and she knew she was safe; she could stare at the sky above lit by the silver moon and stars closer now than before and the city below in a sight both comfortingly familiar for how many times she walked those streets and utterly new, lit by a thousand glows of streetlamps and car lights as people went about their business like any other day in a mosaic spread before her.
There were some things she would never get used to and it was for the better if it meant a breathtaking sight like this every time.
In Which Herding Cats Takes on Full Meaning
Three Sentence Prompt:100 Fandoms Prompt: Oversight
Fandom: To Say Nothing of the Dog
I should have known after that long wet night along the river with Princess Arjumand and the many long days after trying to keep her from meeting her watery fate all over again. Maybe I let time soften the memories or maybe I thought time-lag made it seem worse than it was.
Either way I never put much consideration into the old phrase "like herding cats" and now we paid the price for not giving the phrase the respect it deserved, as Verity managed to return one wriggling kitten back into their pen just in time for another to spring out while I tried to stop her sibling from bolting from the room, but as I put him back in the pen (again), the look I exchanged with Verity was equal parts exhaustion, exasperation and fondness and yes, herding cats isn't for the faint of heart, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Summary: It is a place of stillness and silence. It is a place of death hidden under raised earth.
It is a place of stillness and silence. It is a place of death hidden under raised earth. Once, a being oversaw all until shadow guided by light came and silence was shattered by colossus’s fall. It is a place of death above and below.
Until a bird hops among stone where flowers bloom. Where death falls life rises. It could be ribs, it could be mere rock. It matters not to the small creature, but it doesn’t linger. It senses something once dwelt here, deep and powerful. The bird takes wing and leaves the dead to rest in peace.
Challenge and writing stuff
I've got treats I want to do for the Trick or Treat exchange and three possible fic ideas for AU stuff that I want to give more time and less pressure to than what Fictober causes, so I'm not exactly sure when work on those will happen between Fictober and Exchange stuff (Yuletide before too terribly long!)
I've had plenty of time of this week, but writing has been hard and it's just generally been an Off week after being sick last week. But I'm proud that I'm staying on top of Fictober at least despite that.

Summary: She can no longer feel a fire's warmth, but it's okay. It's okay.
They're settled in around the fire for another night. Lloyd and Genis's chatter fill Colette's ears and she enjoys listening, though she stays out of their conversation this time. Raine is buried in a book, but she finds comfort in their teacher’s presence; she’s so grateful she came. Kratos is silent and watchful. The mercenary is still a stranger in many ways, but she finds a comfort in him as well. Noishe has taken up residence beside her, his head resting on his paws and she absently strokes his head in silent thanks.
It is a comfortable night. They're here, all together and the fire crackles pleasantly. She reaches a hand towards it and feels nothing. She tries to tell herself she's getting used to it. She is getting used to it. It's not all bad after all. It's still pretty and provides light. In a way it's like a painting, but better. She can enjoy the appearance without feeling the heat. At least she can't burn herself, or rather she wouldn't feel the pain of doing so, and that's good, isn't it?
Lloyd laughs at a comment she didn’t catch. It's a happy night with her friends. They'll have many happy days and nights ahead of him. The journey will end and they can have this for as long as they want and she is so, so happy for them.
She can’t feel the warmth of the fire, but she can take a different warmth from her friends and give it back in turn. She smiles.

Summary: Pigeon Man was expecting Cabanela; he wasn't expecting a minor unexplained mystery
Rain washes down the window. The professor sets the kettle on the stove with a slight frown. He should have been here by now if he was coming at all. Sense dictates calling a rain check in its most literal form, but then while the professor is willing to concede to intelligence and general cleverness, he is quite ready to hold up sense as a point for debate.
Point proven when the door flies open, letting the rain in briefly before Cabanela lets it fall shut behind him. The professor raises an eyebrow at him.
"You're late."
The man is drenched, water dripping off his coat, hair falling apart from its normal styling. How long had the fool been out there?
"Haven't heard of an umbrella, have you?"
Cabanela waves an airy hand. "Had a bit of an iiincident. It's gettin' some use I can tell you that."
"What are you babbling about?"
He tosses himself into the chair near the stove and stretches out comfortably. "Nothin' mooore than the machinations of a clever opponent, baby." With that mysterious comment he brushes away some stray drops from his coat and gives the kettle an interested—possibly overly so, in the professor's opinion—look. "Is that tea?"
The professor pours him a mug with a shake of his head, still wondering what on earth he’s on about and passes it to him. "Care to elaborate?"
Cabanela only lifts the mug in reply. "Cheers, prof!"
In a darkened park the rain continues to beat down accompanied by the sound of rustling grass. If there was anyone to see it, they would see a yellow shape moving through the grass, resolving itself into an open, bright yellow umbrella.
From behind a head emerges on a long and elegant white neck. Wings flare and the quiet of the park is broken by a triumphant honk.

Krile expected the air inside to be cool. It wasn’t cool nor was it warm. It simply was. Her steps were quiet as if the very stone called for silence. And there it lay ahead of her—the light, the path, her journey.
“Are you certain, princess?”
“You’re far too young to take this risk.”
“You don’t know what waits on the other side.”
He needed her. The worlds needed all their help. There was no choice but to trust in the meteor. For the world, for her grandpa, she would take this chance. She stepped forward.
“I’m coming, grandfather.”
Challenge Rambles
Final Fantasy VI and X are potential options, but really lacking in ideas there and X is intimidating. I've written for Tales of the Abyss before so that could be an option too, but again. Ideas.
Then there's the 100 Fandom challenge inching along ever so slowly. I was hoping to be further along by now. Certain games going 'I fit here, here and here' in prompts don't help when I already covered them! No pressure there; it'd just be nice to be farther along. I have 12/100 done...
So 100 Fandoms Challenge creeping along. Challenge on the Big Bridge, a big up in the air shrug.
In the Rain... (100 Fandoms)
Prompt: Rain
Fandom: I and Me
AO3
A little drabble for the little game, I and Me, which is honesty more melancholic than cute little fuzzy cats imply.
When the rain falls what do I feel? It’s dark and lonely in this place. The drops are all around me but I am alone among them. One drop falls and another and another, rippling outward farther and farther away from me. It’s this world. It’s another world. I reach out but I cannot touch it. It’s separate from me. I think that’s okay. Isn’t it?
Am I alone? Do I want to be alone?
Then I see me. I am here and I am there. In the rain we are separate and we are one. I’m not alone now.
