ATTF: Three-Sentence Fic Challenge!!  
I thought I'd start early, so our Aussie colleagues can play while it's still Friday there!  (Although now I will have to submerge for a bit -- work can be a distraction ...)

HERE GOES:

If you're anything like me, you need a break from trying to pummel that Secret Santa story into submission.  But ... not that much of a break, because then you'd get distracted and might have to start from scratch, and that would be just ... horrible.  Right?  Right ...
Allow me to throw you a small distracting flare, in the form of a three-sentence fic challenge.  We've done it before, and it was Huge Fun.  With any luck, it will help to get those creative juices flowing -- maybe in unexpected directions, maybe in a direction that may actually spur you on!
The three-sentence fic is perfect in many ways:
Perfect for a Friday, especially if you've had a glass of wine (mulled or not).
Perfect for writing -- for practicing economy, for packing a wallop in a teeny space, and for getting that single image out of your head that simply won't stretch into a proper fic;
Perfect for prompting (especially if you'd rather not write); and
Perfect for sharing, caring, and a good laugh or some calculated shivers.

Oh, and icons count too!!  (They're small, right?)
Go forth and prompt, ficcify, iconize, crossover, fuse, provide thinky thoughts -- or meta on the utility of three-sentence anything!  We'd just ask that you put any warnings (or "chose not to warns") into the header for anything you may come up with.
And a reminder:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
Have fun!
 
 
Current Mood: excited

His need for caffeine was being cockblocked by his occasionally latent sense of self-preservation. There wasn't a single Avenger who knew how to make a decent cup of coffee save him and he hadn't made this pot: Tony, Steve, and Thor made (respectively) rocket fuel, turpentine, and something none of them could pronounce but could slay the wildest beasts of Muspelheim with only a drop; Bruce made brown water and Natasha, dear Natochka, could break down a Mark 19 in under a minute but couldn't figure out a Mister Coffee because she only ever used a Chemex or a briki at home. But Bruce and Natasha were away (for very different values of 'away') and Clint had been in the Army long enough to risk drinking coffee that could melt steel, so he reached for a cup.

Clint is truly brave to face Tony's coffee.

Does Pepper refuse to make coffee because then they'd always be asking her?
