Poly + ACOTAR Week Prompts 2025

Day 1 - 4/6: Whose court is it anyway?

This can go so many ways! What was your groups courtship like? Who courted who? Are they from different courts, and if so how does that affect their relationship? 

Day 2 - 4/7: Reveal

Who, or what is being revealed? Is it a flirtatious move or a serious conversation? You tell us!

Day 3 - 4/8: Will there be enough room?

Many of our favorite tropes are written with a pairing of two: grumpy/sunshine, golden retriever/black cat, enemies to lovers, the other male/female. How do they change when there’s more than two? How does your group of four or five fit in that inn’s only one bed? Take these tropes and flip them on their heads, or expand them for a larger group!

Day 4 - 4/9: Alternate Universe

Maybe it’s an alternate world, or a retelling of how canon would change if there were a larger romantic group. Perhaps your group is reminiscing on what could have been. What world will your group travel to? 

Day 5 - 4/10: Memories and History

What is your group remembering and why? Maybe it’s a memory of a favorite experience, or a painful one.  Is it a former partner, the day they chose to get together? 

Day 6 - 4/11: Courage

What does courage mean to you, or to your group? Courage to live freely, courage to go on an adventure, courage to try something new? The world is your oyster! 

Day 7 - 4/12: Why Choose?

Welcome to free day! Pick your favorite prompt ideas or tropes and mash them together, or take it literally and create a why choose scenario for your group.

We can't wait to celebrate with you this April! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Poly+ ACOTAR Week - Day 6 Celebration (Nesta/Eris/Cassian) @polyacotarweek

What if upon finding out Beron tortures his sons, instead of being called a coward Eris got shown some goddamn empathy. Then they form a protective throuple and get tripple married.

Poly+ ACOTAR Week Master List

I knew I wanted to participate in @polyacotarweek this year but I even surprised myself at how much I wrote. Starting tomorrow here is what I have planned to post this week!

Day 1: Beginnings || Embers in the Wind

Nesta X Cassian X Eris Part 1/4 || 4k words READ ON AO3

Cassian and Nesta are happier than they have ever been, or so they thought. When their mating bond snapped, it wasn’t only euphoric it was healing. Both Cassian and Nesta had so many years of trauma to overcome to finally learn to love each other properly. So, what happens when they get thrown a third mating bond that they never expected? What happens when their new mate can’t handle the pressure of the bond? What happens when it's someone they thought they were supposed to hate?

Day 2: Comfort || Embers in the Wind

Nesta X Cassian X Eris Part 2/4 || 4k words READ ON AO3

Day 3: Secrets || Embers in the Wind

Nesta X Cassian X Eris Part 3/4 || 6k words READ ON AO3

Day 4: Adventure || Embers in the Wind

Nesta X Cassian X Eris Part 4/4 || 7k words READ ON AO3

Day 5: Favorite Tropes || A Dance Named Starlight - AU

Cassian X Nesta X Eris X Azriel 7k words READ ON AO3

Fake wedding dates + a little bit of jealousy, plenty could go wrong, but what about all the things that could go right? Nesta and Cassian are on a break but she can't show up to her sister's wedding alone. Who better to accompany her than the ostentatious brother of the groom, Eris Vanserra? Thankfully, he is also newly single and ready to make a pointed appearance with Nesta on his arm. Dressed to impress and ready to wow everyone on the dance floor, this pair thought they were ready for anything. What they didn't account for was just how tangled their heartstrings would become.

Day 7: Free Day || Lighthouse in the Woods

Azriel X Eris X OC Prologue + Ch 1/4 || 9k words READ ON AO3

The New High Lord of Autumn isn't fairing too well with his new reign. Luckily his allies in the Night Court are willing to send him aid. The Spymaster is just too good at his job however, and the High Lord isn't quite sure how to let him go when his problems become manageable again. When a budding friendship turns into something more, they're going to have to decide how they define what a family is and where to call home.

Foxtrot

Nesta x Cassian x Eris

A/N: I see your Azris Crackship, and I raise you - Nerissian

Wordcount: <700

Warnings: Angst, violence 

So much had changed since the last Solstice. Prythian was finally experiencing a period of somewhat peacefulness. Eris, who had proven to be a loyal ally to the Night Court, was once again in attendance at the annual Solstice Ball in the Hewn City. 

Eris stalks up to the dais to greet the High Lord and Lady. Bowing his head, he says with his typical smirk, “Happy Solstice.” 

Eris presents a gift to Feyre. She takes the box from his hands and removes the top, revealing a palm-sized orb with a button on the side. 

“This is for Nyx. It’s a nightlight, press that button to turn it on.”

Feyre presses the button and the orb lights up, projecting a replica of the night sky onto the ceiling. From his mother’s lap, Nyx’s little eyes widen.

Eris crouches down to be at Nyx’s level and speaks to the boy in a hushed tone, “With those great wings, you’ll be able to see all of those stars one day.” Nyx babbles back to the male, revealing a tiny bottom tooth. 

“Thank you very much, Eris. This is so thoughtful,” Feyre responds, smiling wide at the Autumn Heir. 

“It’s my pleasure, I had something similar when I was a young boy.” Eris rises from his crouched position and his eyes meet Nesta’s.

From her spot at the side of the dais, Nesta watched the interaction thoughtfully. She had warmed to the male over the past year, but her mate had not. 

Eris flashes Nesta a charming smile and extends his hand. “I haven’t stopped thinking about our last dance. Would you do me the honour of joining me for another?”

Nesta steps forward, looking regal in her black gown and halo of silver laurel wreaths. She takes Eris’s hand in hers, “You know it’s hard to find a good dance partner these days.” 

Eris winks at Nesta as he brings her hand to his lips. 

Cassian tenses as he observes the exchange, but says nothing. He knows how much Nesta loves to dance and wants her to enjoy the ball. 

With arms linked, Eris leads Nesta to the centre of the dancefloor, just in time for the next number.  

The song is slow enough that partners can chat with each other as they move around the room. After a few graceful spins, Eris pulls Nesta flush against his body, still swaying in time with the music. 

Eris leans forward to speak softly into Nesta’s ear. “I never got a chance to congratulate you on your mating. It’s a shame, Autumn would have suited you. You certainly have your own flames.”

Eris pulls back, his eyes simmering with heat as they meet Nesta’s. Her eyes widen as the sharp snap rings in both of their ears and they feel the tug in their chest. 

Nesta gasps as she drops Eris’s hand and reaches for her heart, towards that shimmering bond.  

Eris moves his free hand to gently caress her jaw, “Ah little fox, you may be a fire queen after all.”

Cassian, who has been watching the pair intently, storms over at that moment. “Get your hands off my mate,” He yells. 

Fists fly, and Eris ends up on the floor - not expecting the attack. 

Nesta screams as Cassian kneels to hit Eris again. “No, please don’t hurt him.” Nesta claws at his arm to stop him, but he’s frozen mid-punch.

Cassian’s jaw goes slack and his arms fall to his side as he meets Eris’s amber eyes. The unmistakable snap echoeing in their ears. 

“Cauldron, no,” Cassian whispers.

Hushed voices and shuffling feet can be heard as Rhys clears the ballroom. Azriel grabs Cassian under his arms, hauling him to his feet. Nesta rushes to Eris, kneeling beside him and dabbing his split lip with a handkerchief.

“Mother’s tits,” Rhys mutters, prowling over to see what the commotion was “You guys are such children, what is— oh.”

Rhys lets out a dark chuckle as he realises what has just transpired.

He looks between Eris and Nesta on the ground, and then over at Cassian who looks like he’s about to be sick. “The cauldron is cruel.”

Multi/Poly ACOTAR Poll

I'd love to see you comment and/or tag your favorites! I know I personally would struggle to pick just one myself. Let me know if you prefer the pairing as poly or multi as well (poly being they all love each other, multi being one person is the center of all the love). If your favorite option isn't there, please add it in the comments! There wasn't room for an "other" option, but I'm aware there's a lot more possibilities here!

Would be so grateful if you reblogged so this can reach as many people as possible! I've left the poll open for a week to see what results I get. LET ME KNOW ALL YOUR THOUGHTS!

Visit the X Reader sister post here to cast your vote there as well!

Thank you for sending in all the stories, here you can find the collection! Some of these are one-shots, some are longer stories, just click your way through them and also check out their other fics!

Embers in the Wind (Cassian x Nesta x Eris)

by @chunkypossum Cassian and Nesta are happier than they have ever been, or so they thought. When their mating bond snapped, it wasn’t only euphoric it was healing. Both Cassian and Nesta had so many years of trauma to overcome to finally learn to love each other properly. So, what happens when they get thrown a third mating bond that they never expected? What happens when their new mate can’t handle the pressure of the bond? What happens when it's someone they thought they were supposed to hate?

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tender (Cassian x Nesta x Azriel)

by @acourtofladydeath Nesta has always struggled with more intense cycles than most, and when she became fae it only got worse. Thankfully, her mates Azriel and Cassian are there to take care of her.

I Could Be a Better Boyfriend Than Him (Gwyn x Emerie x Nesta)

by @HeadCanonHeadCase (on ao3) What if when Nesta ran to Emerie's after her fight with Cassian things went a little differently? What if all that talking led to something more? What if both Emerie and Gwyn think they can be a better boyfriend than him?

this is me trying (Cassian x Azriel x Nesta)

@witch-and-her-witcher Aux officer Cassian brings a stray home with him and he doesn't want to let her go. Lieutenant Azriel, and his life partner, thinks he has a bleeding heart and an undiagnosed mental health condition - until he meets Nesta Archeron for himself, sweating and vomiting through a self-led alcohol detox, and decides ... yeah, they should keep her. Nesta is at an all-time low, all her bridges burned, but she's going to pull herself together and try to keep her mess from spilling into these ridiculously gorgeous, kind-hearted Auxie's lives.

[acotarmemes]

What if Nesta’s twelve cats began fighting with Eris’s twelve dogs what then???

What we really should consider is who gets caught in the crossfire. What if the cats and the dogs are united against a common enemy?

keep an eye out for version 2 which will be azris & nessian coded!

i'm proposing a nerissian threesome

[iftheshoef1tz]

i have GOT to hear more about the demon!azris WIP you mentioned!! spill the deets! i love the title "What Hath Night to Do With Sleep", you always have the best titled fics.

I would love to tell you about demon azris!! I posted a little bit of it for Halloween, but the main idea is that Eris, a young German doctor living in West Berlin in the late 1960s, summons a demon to help him kill his father and the former Nazis he grew up around. In addition to azris, eris kind of sleeps with everyone, so there will be neris and nerissian, as well as blink-and-you-miss-it Kallias/Eris and feysandris. Eris, in a word, is living my dream and fucking his way through the acotar cast. This fic will be heavy on the trigger warnings (bc, you know, Nazis and the killing thereof), but i don’t plan to include any onscreen violence against Jewish people.

It’s been a really interesting bit of history to research (with special, special help from @queercontrarian) and i have looked up the most random things. Including a hilarious article from WikiHelp on how to summon a demon, as well as “what cars did West Germany have,” “when were ball pens invented,” “names of politicians in the AfD,” “bones in the hand,” and “symptoms of gout.” My search history is a mess, lmao.

The title is from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” and it slaps severely. If you’re ever at a loss for titling something and you can’t find a song title or lyric that’s working, poetry is always a good bet!

[secret-third-thing]

political intrigue nessriel or nerissian 😈

eafkjwe;alwj I want to. I would LOVE to. I may have to.

... i already have an idea for it

[legendl0re]

This is giving me poly-fic ideas. Nerissian anyone? XD

I love seeing posts that are like “I love nessian but Neris has piqued my interest but i love nessian and want them to keep being canon but-“ and its just babe

multishipping exists

Its for some reason rare as fuck in the acotar fandom but you can have multiple ships.. for the same character

And im not trying to be mean to these people but its just funny that it just doesn’t occur to them that they can do whatever they want. theres no rules and regulations 😭!!

@erisweek2023 Day 6 - Arranged Marriage

Somehow combined my desire for Eris to have nice things with my want for Nesta to be away from the Night Court, and for Cassian to follow her somewhere for once.

Sending y'all off with this before I go to bed so I don't have to remember to post it later! Happy POLY ACOTAR WEEK thank you @acourtofladydeath for all the tireless work you've done to set this up and prepare everything. I am so excited!!

Snippet under the cut.

Cassian couldn’t blame her. It wasn’t as if he was excited to have to begin the day meeting with Eris either, but what could he do? Rhys needed this information passed on as quickly as possible and they were already traveling. It just made sense.  “Here I was thinking we decided to pity him instead of outright hate him.” Cassian teased.  “I do pity him,” Nesta began, “I pity the fact that he also has to put up with his personality.”  This made Cassian roar with laughter again and by the time they were landing, both of them were giggling like gossiping school children.  The perfect eye roll, one that you could feel someone give you from across a room, was an art. One that Eris Vanserra had become an expert in over the years. It burned him and Cassian rolled his shoulders back like he was trying to shake off the firelord’s judgment. Taking a deep breath, Cassian turned to Eris with a smile.  “Prince,” he said with a mocking half bow. Nesta snickered next to him and Eris blew out an exasperated breath. The male was watching them from a nearby tree. On his stomach, his long body was stretched out lazily along the length of a thick branch. One arm was tucked under his head to rest his cheek and he almost looked like a painting, surreal and deadly.

Thanks for the tag! 💕

I haven't opened this site in weeks - the holiday burnout has been rough. Most of my drafts don't have titles to start with - so I'll attempt to summarise ~ some of these are only a few sentences just to note an idea

Fic idea: Rhys's sister + bi Azris

A court of shadows & sunshine - all subsequent parts have been roughly plotted - she's getting close!!

War camp orgy

Foxtrot Part 2 (Nerissian fic)

Safe word

I also have a list of song titles to inspire fics

WIP Game

Rules: In a new post, list the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!

Thanks for tagging me @prythianpages 💕💕

I literally have SO many WIPs so here are some:

Are We Out of the Woods?

Started outlining a series titled “How Do You Measure a Year in the Life?”

I’m Still Stuck in the Moment

In My Dreams, You Should See the Things We Do

Snapshots in Time Part 2
