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!

Every choice a splinter

There was a saying in Spanish -- he'd forgotten which whore he'd heard it from (or maybe it was Rackham; the man was always spouting out little bits of knowledge like a whale's blowhole) -- de tal palo tal astilla. Like father like son, only less abstract, something he could grasp and grip and feel the rough wood in his hand: from this stick, a like splinter; and though a splinter was not as strong as the stick, it was still a thing of its own, not heavy enough to bludgeon but surely sharp enough to blind the eye of an enemy -- or a father.

And so Charles Vane left his teacher on the sand in the sure knowledge that, having carved and shaped him in his own image, Blackbeard could blame no one but himself for whatever would follow.
