Three Sentence Ficathon 2016!

[alette]

(Because one didn't seem to have started this year, and I admit to wanting very much to participate in one of these challenges!)
Presenting the Three Sentence Ficathon 2016!

The Steps:
1. Prompt the fandom/pairing/situation of your heart, preferably in the following format: fandom, character/pairing, prompt word/sentence. .
2. Find a prompt by someone else (or heck, your own) that catches your interest.
3. Fill the prompt in no more than three sentences. (NB: This is really more of a guideline
4. Revel in reading the (hopefully large) amounts of fics thereby produced.
5. PROFIT!

Narnia, Peridan, another interpretation of the prompt words

[marmota_b]

There were more ways to have a wish granted; there were rumours of a magical wishing well far to the west and north in the mountains of Telmar: throw a precious stone into the deep waters and anything you ask for will be given you. Peridan would not have paid heed to those rumours had he not first heard them from Kiolani and Arlimas. But he could not go back deep into Telmar with them as he once had, anonymous watcher observing and recording; and the price for a wish granted a Narnian king in Telmar would be much higher than the abundance of precious stones that the dwarfs kept finding could ever cover.
A king could have his foibles; but he would never allow his foibles to be grandly and sweepingly destructive like that. So instead, every now and then he would go out to the beach in the morning and try and skip stones over the sea’s surface towards the rising sun with the children of Cair Paravel. And truly, he thought as the Naiad child pressed her smooth white pebble into his hand, what kind of wishing well is it that grants wishes only to those who can afford to give gems in return? But then perhaps that was the point: perhaps those were the ones who had no end to their wishing.
Maybe his Narnia was Golden no more; but he could still keep it sturdy and self-sufficient like the homespun woollens and linens of his everyday tunics, and find satisfaction in simple meals and simple joys.

Oh, this is gorgeous, and I love the twist, and how well it reflects Peridan's character.

Perfect! <3
