POLYSHIP WEEK 2024

→ Day 4: promises “I made a promise, too; I promised to keep the pair of you alive. If Moghedien shows up, she’ll go after you two. Now, here.” [Mat] pushed the medallion at her again. Elayne reached up to pull his hat off and slip the cord over his head. She actually tucked the foxhead into his shirt and patted it before handing him his hat. [...] “You wear it. After all, you can hardly keep your promise if Moghedien kills you.”

Polyship Week - Blitzo/Stolas/Lucifer (Day 5):

Relationship Anarchy/"You're burning up!"/Arranged Marriage/Only One Bed

"Why the fuck do you guys get to go but we can't?!"

"Dad calm down. I don't like it either but you're a human and I'm an angel. We can't just go to Hell whenever we want. Our bodies probably wouldn't be able to handle it." Vaggie set a hand on her father's shoulder to try and calm him down.

"You think I wanna go?"

Messing with their bowtie, Lucifer couldn't help but feel anxious. This was only the second time that they would be seeing their father. The last time had been when they had accidently time traveled into Hell.

The only reason Lucifer had agreed to go was so that Charlie could meet her grandfather and see the unexpected beauty of Hell like they had.

"You can share my room, Charlie."

"Aww~ thank you, Via."

"Oh, oh! Me too! Me too!"

Watching the little girl jump around excitedly, Octavia picked her up with a laugh. "Sure Niffty. You too."

"Girl's night sleepover!"

"Yay!"

"What?! Why does she get to go?!"

"Did you forget that my dear Niffty is half demon?" Taking his little girl, Alastor set her on his head where she usually sat. "Besides, I doubt that you could handle her while I'm gone."

"Can we just get this over with?"

"Come on, Luci darling. At least pretend to be excited. How about showing us that beautiful smile?"

~

"Are you sure this is the room we're supposed to be in?"

"Of course, darling. This is your room after all. Hence the one bed."

Watching the two talk and unpack their bags, Alastor could feel his annoyance growing. This wouldn't be an issue if Stolas stayed in his own room or if Alastor's room hadn't been destroyed by that imbecile Vox in his absence. At least he could take out his frustrations on him later.

"Alastor. Are you going to unpack as well?"

"Uh... Stolas. Alastor isn't going to be all that keen on sharing a bed with the both of us. He isn't that big on touch."

"Oh. Oh dear. What should we do?"

Sighing, Alastor couldn't find it in him to stay upset at the situation. It wasn't their fault. Besides, they could still make this work.

"As long as you do not touch me Stolas, I shall be alright."

"Yay! I get to be in the middle!"

Laughing at his goofy and adorable partner, Stolas guided them to the bathroom with him so that Alastor could have some privacy to get ready for bed.

"Let us get changed so we can turn in for the night."

~

Flopping down in the middle of the bed, Lucifer had to admit that this visit wasn't as bad as they had been dreading. Especially since now, they were gonna be sleeping next to Alastor. It was a rare occasion since he didn't want anyone besides, Lucifer, Niffty, or Adam to touch him while he slept.

As Stolas settled in next to them, they tossed his book away. Lucifer knew that he would stay up all night reading if no one stopped him. Plus, they were feeling a little selfish tonight...

"Could you not throw my book please?" Amused by his partner's childish behavior, Stolas positioned them, so they were laying on their sides with his arms around them. "Better?"

"Much. Now we just need Alastor and we can go to sleep."

"I am just setting up my radio. Or are you going to throw that as well?"

"Oh, ha ha. Hurry up~"

"So demanding. Do not worry your highness I have finished."

Smooth and relaxing jazz music filled the room as Alastor got settled besides Lucifer on their other side. Hooking one of his fingers with Lucifer's, Alastor thought that he could get used to this sort of arrangement.

so we're not written in the stars

Sixth and final chapter of my Polyship Week 2024 fic, Shameful Company, is now up!

(Yes, a bit late, but life happened)

Words: 11.9K

Rating: chapter is General, but fic is Explicit

Relationships: James Bond/Q/OMC, Q & Madeleine Swann, James Bond & Madeleine Swann

"James, MI6 did its damnedest to intentionally, systematically strip you of your ability to form lasting attachments to other people. You adapted to the conditioning, which is how you survived. But now, you have to decide if you want to undo that conditioning.”

[dandelion-wings]

Diluc/Jean/Kaeya (with background Eula/Jean/Lisa. I'm out here giving my girl a harem) for @polyshipweek's free day. This is a sequel to last year's Group Composition!

When Jean and Kaeya appear battered on his doorstep, Diluc lets them both in out of the cold to rest. Out of the cold, and into his bed, where keeping Jean warm leads him to reminisce about past such slumbers.

Is it cheating to post only for the free day? Probably! But I promised myself a good year ago that I was going to finish this one in time for Polyship Week '24, and I'd like to for once in my fic-posting life hit a deadline. XD

Valicer Polyship Week 2024, Day Seven: Free Day – Only One Bed (Valicer In The Dark AU)

It's Day Seven, aka the finale of Valicer Polyship Week 2024, kindly brought to you by @polyshipweek! Today was the Free Day when it came to prompts, so I decided to scurry back to Day Five's list and grab the other prompt from that day that I was interested in -- "Only One Bed!" A classic fanfic trope to be sure -- and one that, for me, is probably permanently associated with my Valicer In The Dark verse, thanks to the fact that the gang's lair literally only has one proper bed. XD So, naturally, I had to write a fic about their bed situation! From Alice's POV, because I'd noticed that I'd written two fics from Victor's POV and three from Smiler's over the week, and I didn't want her to get shorted. This one was rather hard to bring together for some reason, but I got there in the end. Hope you enjoy!

--

When the Three Pillars first all moved in together, abandoning their old lives and claiming Elder Gutknecht’s home as their own, Alice had worried that the fact they only had one bed would turn out to be a problem.

Granted, they’d managed those first couple of days before killing Bumby all right, back before they’d realized they were going to be living together for the long haul – Smiler had been kind enough to immediately surrender any claim to the four-poster to their companions, and Alice had been happy enough to swap with Victor after the first Names (especially after seeing how poorly her new friend had slept on the floor). And yes, once they had realized living together was going to be a permanent change post-flight from the Van Dort mansion, one of the first things they’d done was set up a schedule to determine who got to sleep in the nice bed when, and who had to make do with the cots Smiler had sourced from their fellow Advocates. But Alice hadn’t been able to shake the conviction that, at some point, the bed was going to be a source of trouble. After all, going from an elegant four-poster to a rickety old cot wasn’t exactly the most pleasant experience – she’d been tempted a couple of times to refuse to give up her claim, and she was certain Victor and Smiler had too. It seemed only a matter of time before the schedule broke down and there was a fight over the damn thing. Not to mention she still didn’t fully trust that glass canopy, no matter how many times Elder Gutknecht assured her it was safe. So she kept an eye on the bed, and on her friends, and wondered what crisis would eventually spark.

And then, early one Numbers, Victor reluctantly admitted that, even with access to such a large and comfy bed, he was having trouble sleeping. And Smiler offered up their hypnosis skills to fix the problem, and she insisted on watching just for her own peace of mind. And that – that led to them all sleeping in the bed together, her and Smiler wrapped around an entranced Victor, unwilling to move for fear of waking him and undoing all their hard work. And that had indeed sparked a crisis – just not the one Alice had thought. She’d expected to feel awkward about sharing a bed with Victor and Smiler. To feel uncomfortable about finding herself in such close quarters with them, even if they were people she liked.

She hadn’t expected to enjoy it. To realize that she’d had one of the easiest Names’s sleep of her life in that bed, cuddled up tight against Victor’s back. To additionally realize that she’d actually rather – enjoyed seeing Smiler hypnotize him. That watching Victor slip into trance had been – weirdly inspiring in certain ways. That she wanted everything she’d seen the previous Names to happen again, if at all possible – and the next day, and the next, and the next. That – that she was pretty damn sure she was in love with Victor, and maybe Smiler too, in a different way. And she hadn’t really known how to hell to deal with all of that knowledge. So she’d tried instead to ignore it, avoiding Victor and Smiler’s eyes and refusing to bring it up in conversation. Tried to remind herself that, however nice it had been (and it had been nice, oh God she hadn’t had something so nice since she was small), it couldn’t be repeated. That she would have to just have to go to her cot that Names and go to sleep and try not to think about how warm Victor had been against her, how weirdly sweet it had been to open her eyes and see Smiler looking back at her –

And then. Then they’d gone to that rich toff’s house. And Victor had nearly fallen off the roof. And Alice had gotten a stark reminder that life was short and that she needed to tell the people she loved that she loved them before it was too late. So, once they’d finished the job and made it back home, she’d forced herself to say that they needed to have a talk –

And discovered that Victor and Smiler had enjoyed everything that had happened the previous night as much as she had, if not more. That they hadn’t known how to bring it up either, consumed by the same doubts she’d had. That they – they loved her too. And after that rather a lot of kissing had happened, and after that –

Well. Alice forced herself to be practical and insist that Smiler only take back one cot, and keep the others for emergencies. Who knew if any one of them might need it for some reason or another. But in truth, she didn’t think the extra cot was very necessary at all.

Turned out, one bed was more than enough for three people.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock/Nyota Uhura Characters: James T. Kirk, Nyota Uhura, Spock (Star Trek), Winona Kirk Additional Tags: Post-Movie: Star Trek Beyond (2016), polyshipweek's Polyship Week 2024, polyshipweek 2024 day 2: gift-giving Summary:

After the events of Star Trek Beyond, Spock gives a gift to Kirk that leads to discussions about life, love and the Enterprise.

“One last question before I let you go, Jimmy,” his mom said.

Winona had aged well, by anyone's standards – her gaze was more commanding than it had been when he'd been a child, the crow's feet by her eyes only adding to the sense that she could see right through him. Her close-cropped hair was more silver than blonde these days, lending her a dignity that he knew she'd felt the lack of when she'd been a grieving widow trying to figure out how to handle a kid and a newborn all on her own.

“No,” Jim said, not needing her to actually ask to know what the question would be. “There are no grandkids on the horizon. There isn't even a partner on the horizon. Still flying solo and happy about it.”

One Big Bed

Pairing: Cassandra/Rapunzel/Eugene Fandom: Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure Length: 900 words Prompt: Day 5 "Only one bed" for @polyshipweek

Zhan Tiri may have blasted a hole through the wall, but Rapunzel’s bed is still intact. Her murals weathered the final battle with minimal damage too. 

Most importantly, Cassandra and Eugene emerged from the ordeal unscathed. Rapunzel has not left their sides since Zhan Tiri was defeated and the Sundrop and Moonstone were returned to the heavens. 

Night fell fast after the dust settled and everyone was accounted for, and the three of them ended up in Rapunzel’s room. She can’t stop staring at Cassandra’s black hair. Cass looks pale and tired, but her dark eyes are focused and clear. 

Eugene has been talking a mile a minute since their victory, trying to defuse any lingering tension, and Cass has told him to shut up three times already, and that’s how Rapunzel knows they’re going to be okay. 

“You sure you want to sleep in here, sunshine?” Eugene asks, looking at the debris from the hole in the wall. 

“It’s not so bad, Eugene,” she says. “Some fresh air will be nice, and we just spent the afternoon getting the guard back in order, so there’s no danger.” 

“Yeah, I mean, what are the odds we get attacked twice in one day?” Eugene agrees. 

“Pretty high now that you’ve said it,” Cass puts in. 

Rapunzel laughs and sets Pascal on his perch before flopping down on her bed on her back. “This was a good day.” 

“Sunshine, we almost got stomped by a giant demon sorcerer lady,” Eugene says. 

“The key word is almost,” she says with a sigh. Her body feels liquid against her silk bedding. 

“It’s certainly been a day to remember,” Cass says dryly. “I guess I’ll head back to my room. It’s still there, right?” 

Rapunzel sits up on her bed. “What? I mean, yeah, it’s still there, but you’re gonna leave? You just got back, Cass.”

“Well, yeah,” she says, but she hesitates. 

“Well, I’m not going anywhere,” Eugene says, throwing himself on the bed next to Rapunzel. “Pretty sure Zhan Tiri trashed my room anyway.” 

Rapunzel laughs. “You’re welcome here anytime.” She takes his hand, and he squeezes it. “Cass?” Rapunzel says. 

Cass huffs as she sits on the edge of the bed. “Someone needs to look after you two.” 

“Yay!” Rapunzel squeals. She leans over to kiss Cass on the cheek before she stands up and darts behind her dressing screen to change into her nightclothes. 

When she gets back, Eugene has taken off his jacket and boots, and he smiles when he sees her. “I’m gonna have to get used to not calling you blondie anymore.” 

“You’ve always been slow on the uptake,” Cass says. She’s still wearing her black and gray bodysuit with the hole where the Moonstone used to be. 

Rapunzel digs around in her drawers until she finds what she’s looking for—a white blouse and brown leggings, leftover from a long ago sleepover with Cass. She hands them to her without a word, and if Eugene is surprised that Rapunzel still has some of Cassandra’s clothes in her room, he doesn’t show it. 

“Thanks, Raps,” Cass says. She stands and ducks behind the screen. 

Rapunzel lays down in bed and rests her head on Eugene’s chest. He plays with the ends of her new haircut. 

Cass returns in soft white and brown fabric, and Rapunzel beams at her. She rolls her eyes as she climbs into bed on the other side of Rapunzel. 

The princess’s bed is big enough for the three of them, and Rapunzel curls up between Cassandra and Eugene. Eugene drapes an arm over her, and Rapunzel wraps an arm around Cass with a sigh. 

“The last time we did this, we were all on the way to the Dark Kingdom,” she says. 

“Feels like just yesterday,” Eugene says. 

Cass huffs a laugh. “Feels like a lifetime ago to me.” 

Internally, Rapunzel agrees with both of them. “Are you still going to leave tomorrow, Cass?’ 

The former lady-in-waiting is quiet for a moment. “Yes,” she answers. “There’s a big world out there beyond Corona, and we only saw a bit of it.” 

“Okay,” Rapunzel says. She knows what Cass means. She knows Cass has to leave for the same reason she did, and for the same reason that she turned down Eugene’s first proposal and floundered at his second. “Will you be coming back?”

“Of course. Just don’t ask me when,” she says. 

“We’ll hold you to that,” Eugene says. “So don’t take too long, or Sunshine’ll send the Royal Guard after you.” 

“Eugene! I wouldn’t do that!” 

“You would,” Cass and Eugene say in unison. 

“Only if I was really worried,” she concedes. 

The trio falls silent for a moment. Eugene’s arm is warm and comforting around Rapunzel’s waist. She can feel Cass’s steady breathing as her chest rises and falls under Rapunzel’s arm. Eugene lets out a sleepy sigh. 

“Will you still be here in the morning?” Rapunzel whispers. 

“Yes, Raps,” Cass says, fond and exasperated. “I won’t leave without saying goodbye.” 

“Okay.” 

“Now get some sleep.” 

“Okay. I love you,” Rapunzel says. 

She can practically feel Cass rolling her eyes through their connection. “I love you too.” 

“That’s great, but can we have this discussion in the morning?” Eugene says with a yawn. 

“Can it, Fitzherbert.” 

“Love you too, Cass.” 

Rapunzel falls asleep with a smile on her face.

[howdoyoudothedew]

Rated: G

Pairing: Gruvion (Gray/Juvia/Lyon)

Word Count: ~300

A/N: Day five for @polyshipweek using prompt 'only one bed'

“Oh no,” Juvia says and Gray feels an instinctive dread already. “It seems they made a mistake. There’s only one bed.”

“There is?” Lyon says with a huff. Gray doesn’t need to look to know there’s a particular glimmer in his eye. Dammit. Honestly, Gray should’ve known those two getting together would somehow just make them worse. “I know I specifically told them we needed two.”

“Nothing we can do now,” Juvia sighs. She does a lot worse hiding her own glee. One bed was no mistake, Gray knows.

“I’ll take the chair,” Gray says before either of them can suggest sharing. It doesn’t stop them, of course.

“We couldn’t possibly make you sleep on that chair!” Juvia says and Lyon nods, adding, “It wouldn’t be right.”

“You must share the bed with us, Gray, darling,” Juvia says.

Gray groans because, really, he knows they know he won’t want to refuse in the end. To save money, they’d gotten a smaller room, so the chair is a single rather small wooden one in the corner. Of course, Gray’s slept in plenty of uncomfortable spots. Sleeping next to Natsu– the portable space heater– in a wooden stagecoach comes to mind. Whenever Gray can, he prefers to sleep somewhere comfortable. Especially on a job. Like he is now.

“Fine. But I’m not gonna like it,” Gray says, displeased. The other two don’t seem to get the memo that he’s not happy about it, given how they ambush him and drag him toward the bed. He’d fight them on it, but they’d only ignore him, so he only sighs and lets them.

day 184 - @polyshipweek day two; stair cuddles

[fandomworld9728]

Polyship Week - Blitzo/Stolas/Lucifer (Day 3) + Alastor & Adam:

Queerplatonic Partners/Beach/Reverse Tropes/Through the Years

(Lucifer is in a QPR with Stolas & Blitzo, Alastor is in a QPR with Adam The reverse trope being used is everyone is convinced that you aren't actually dating)

"Beach day!"

"Luci don't run off without sunscreen again! Remember last time!" Stolas called out to his partner from under the umbrella they had set up.

"Ha! That shit was so funny. They were red all over and pouted for two weeks."

"You too, girls. Come over here and I'll help you apply it. Honestly, we are a family full of pale beauties."

"Oh! Vaggie is here! Dad, can I go over and say hi?"

Finishing getting coated in sunscreen, Lucifer had her sit down. "After we get you cover too, duckie."

~

"Why did you drag me to the beach? You know I hate crowded places. Especially out in public."

"It's for the girls. Besides, I need you to keep all the female attention off me. Lucifer is here- Hey! Get back here you asshole!"

"You and I may be partners, but I will not let you have my love so easily Adam!"

"Wait for me, Alastor!" Running after her father figure, Niffty quickly jumped on his back.

"Dad, why do you and Alastor fight over Charlie's parent so much?"

Oh boy. Of course she would ask him that. How did he even begin to explain that? And too a teenager no less. "Um... pass?"

"It just doesn't make sense to me. Lucifer is already in a polyamorous relationship. There's no reason to fight over them. Especially when they like you both already."

"Vaggie! Come swim with me!"

Seeing his daughter smile and run over to her girlfriend, Adam couldn't be happier for her. After everything she had been through, she deserved to be happy and have this love. He also thought about what she had said.

Vaggie was a sharp kid and usually knew what she was talking about it. But it was more than Lucifer accepting them both as their partners. They were both competitive and possessive men. They also had to get past Stolas and Blitzo. And their three daughters.

~

Sitting in the sand, Alastor had somehow been roped into helping Lucifer and Niffty build a sandcastle. He blamed his weakness to the Morningstar puppy dog eyes that Lucifer had taught to his daughter figure. Although, he supposed it was worth it to see the two of them spending time together and getting along.

"So~ Al. There's a rumor going around the office that you and Adam are dating."

Alastor couldn't stop his scoff from slipping out at the idea. "Heavens no. I have no interest in dating. Least of all Adam of all people."

"I was right! I knew he wasn't your type. You don't know him that well yet for it to even be a possibility. You two are like me and my partners. I tried to tell them, but they wouldn't listen."

That surprised Alastor. He hadn't realized that he had gotten close enough to Lucifer to be comfortable around them to share that sort of information freely and let it be easily noticed. He also can't believe they had remembered that about him. It usually took others a few times of being reminded before they remembered.

"Yes. That is exactly what it is. I appreciate you trying to correct those gossip hungry co-workers of ours."

This was... nice. Could this be the life Alastor could have if he stayed in this world until Lucifer died and took their rightful place on Hell's throne? Sharing these special moments, soft smiles, and time with their daughters? If so, then he supposed that pretending to be a human wasn't completely horrible. He could get used to it.

~

"Charlie. I didn't expect to see you here today."

Here and Vaggie had been enjoying the day together and treating it like a little date. They had been taking selfies together by the water when Seviathan had interrupted them and her good mood.

"What do you want Seviathan?"

"I'm here to see if you've changed your mind about going out with me."

"No. Stop asking me. I told you already that I have a girlfriend."

"We both know that's a lie. You've already got my attention, baby."

Ew. Okay, Vaggie didn't know who this guy was, but he was two seconds away from having a broken nose. "Was my girlfriend not clear or are you just stupid?"

The Seviathan guy looked her up and down before laughing. Loud and obnoxiously. If Charlie wasn't here, Vaggie would fuck him up. But she knew Charlie wasn't a fan of violence.

"Is there a problem?"

Oh. Charlie's two beautiful cool older sisters were here now. Thank goodness. Now if Vaggie lost her temper they would either beat her to it or hold her back.

"No. No problem, ladies. Just laughing at the funny joke your sister and her friend made. Honest, Charlie, if you want me to believe you're dating someone at least pick someone better-"

The three girls gasped as Seviathan hit the ground. Did Charlie the pacifist, who cries when she steps on bugs, actually punch this jerk?

"Stop laughing at and talking bad about my girlfriend! I'm not interested in you, and I love Vaggie!"

"Wow. Did your girlfriend rub off on you?"

"Nice punch little sis. I knew those lessons would pay off."

[pommedepersephone]

It's WIP Wednesday over at the @mi6-cafe! I have got my black coffee, and I am sitting in the back corner working on my little series for @polyshipweek - which is a follow up to make it count from LDWS! So if you wanted to know more about Q, Jyoti and James... Follow along starting 17 Nov!

Q grew up with no model for what a loving partnership should look like. His grandparents, who raised him, had married young out of social necessity. They were more resigned to one another, in a tired sort of way.

His parents, well, his parents had married for love, but no one would ever know if their youthful passion would have lasted. An early death in an automobile accident with no one to blame other than bad weather and worse luck had reduced their presence in his life to this - a box of fading mementoes.

Jyoti knows about the box because Q told him. James knows because he’s a nosy bastard.
