Yup, I'm considering doing a week for the youngest of the Arclights! Prompts are still in progress, but right now I'm aiming for February 25-March 3, 2026, so that the finale can line up with III Day.

A thoughtful lull in a last minute study session.

Midnight Oil, Midafternoon is a short little Kansas AU Aztecshipping fic written for @iii-week -- it was originally supposed to be the Names prompt on March 1st but now it's a bit belated </3 Just in time for 3/3 though! Happy III/Trey/Michael Arclight Day!

How to tag

Submissions for III Week can be tagged as #IIIWeek, or you can @ this blog directly. I will do my best to reblog all posts, but if I miss one feel free to politely message me.

Event dates

III Week will run from February 25-March 3, 2026, with the finale lined up with III Day on March 3.

What is allowed???

Just about anything! Fic, art, memes, gifsets, cosplay, and more are all accepted so long as it's about III.

Shipping?

Just as long as III is involved in the pairing, it's accepted! Just make sure to tag your ships correctly.

AI Generated work is banned

Obviously there is no surefire 100% way to detect AI work, but I trust you all to not do that.

There is no hard deadline

While the event is scheduled to run until March 3, I will continue reblogging late submissions past that date. Likewise, you can jump in at any point during the week. This is meant as a chill event!

Hello! As we approach III Week, I thought it'd be nice to do a post about each of the prompts, inspired by what @rioweek did in the leadup to that event! Of course you don't have to follow my suggestions, this is just if anyone is stuck for ideas!

Day 1 (February 25) is pretty straightforward thematically - the theme is III's intense need to protect and the prompts are gladiators/knights, self sacrifice, and protectee!

Gladiators/knights draws from III's infamous gladiator outfit and knight thematics. Despite not being a knight himself (that's Durbe's past job), he does have some rather knight like traits, between his sword and intense loyalty. This prompt is all about digging into that.

Self sacrifice is another huge thing with III, considering his consistent tendency to try to lay down his life for others without a second thought. How does he feel about that? How does he feel about still being alive, despite the odds?

Protectee is intended as a sort of role reversal - III as the one being protected. Whether it's Yuma returning the favour on III's vow to defend him or Thomas defending his baby brother in the orphanage, how do you think he'd feel about that? Alternatively, you could explore how others feel about III's protective tendencies - how does V feel about being defended by his younger brother?

Welcome to Day 2 of III Week! Today's prompts are History, Duel Monsters, and Aliens!
