If you see a neon sign on the train right back to the inevitable

For the second year in a row, which marks some kind of fandom record for me, I am participating in [community profile] threesentenceficathon. So far I have written three fills and am enjoying the diversity of canons from myth to television to nineteenth-century novels. The time I spent this evening with a nosebleed feels gratuitous and the consumption of the afternoon by phone calls definitely was, but last night my godchild showed off both his mermaid sitting and his hair in progress—I have since received documentation of its color-correction—and my god-aunt sent me a link to the Technicolor jazz noir of Sandra Boynton's "C.A.T." (2019). The end of this week will see a conjunction of Venus and Saturn, which sounds as though it should occasion a masque. I remain tired to the point of absurdity, uncharmed by the shape of the year, here.

They are good little fics! Thank you for linking them. I particularly like the one for Labyrinth because, as the commenter said, there's always a price.
You got a nosebleed on a massive full moon and I almost texted you to ask your godchild where my Tarot pack has gone. (I'm giving him until tomorrow. Today was the four of cups.)

I think most decks have the fourth cup, like, disembodied in the air; mine just has it off alone away from the other three, and if life has taught me anything, it's "Don't drink from that one, what is wrong with you. That's got a bee in it. At LEAST." /very arcane face

Every bit of fiction counts. *hugs*

I keep thinking of the conjunction of Tarva and Alambil in Prince Caspian.

Now would be an incredible time for the talking animals to show up, actually, I could really work with a couple of talking honey badgers here in the DC suburbs.

Aw, I'm glad you managed to come up with some fills! I don't know any of those, but the Labyrinth one is very beautiful regardless. <3

(And "not counting" is the joy of commentfic. Of course, it does really, but it also doesn't, and that's much needed and and lovely and very freeing - and, look, words!)

*hugs for the rest*

I know. I just want more words and of different kinds and more time to write them!

And so you should! <3 (I hope you get them.)

I'm very glad to see you in the [community profile] threesentenceficathon again this year! <3 Your fills are all wonderful, but the one for my prompt is obviously the best--yes, I'm being very objective here! ;) I'm also uncharmed (and unimpressed) by this year so far, but bits of good fiction make it more bearable. Thank you again! *hugs*

The flash length seems to be a remit my brain can reliably cope with.

That's one of the reasons I like it so much. I can participate, even during the worst part of summer.

Thank you for being an occasion for writing!
