Dear Holy Poly Creator 2021

Hello dearest creator!

 

AO3/Tumblr/Discord: greyduckgreygoose

 

Thank you so much for writing my request this year! I apologize about the lateness of this letter, but life has been, to say the least, quite hectic this year. But I'm quite easy to please and I'm sure I will adore whatever you have in store for me :)

Fandom 1: The Witcher (TV)

Ship: Eskel/Jaskier/Geralt

• PWP a-okay here! Eskel and Geralt wrecking Jaskier is always my fave, but changing it up with Eskel or Geralt as the receiver of attention would be magnifique
• Eskel/Geralt as either old friends (with benefits?) or lovers of long standing who have always been devoted to each other. Jaskier feeling awkward/unsure of breaking into this dynamic, but too damn in love with them both to give it up.
• Established Geralt/Jaskier where Jaskier knows that Geralt has been pining after Eskel and decides to make it happen.
• Post-mountain Jaskier taking up with Eskel and it's so easy. But then Geralt gets jealous ....
• Playing into Eskel and Geralt's wolfish mutagens for sweet, smutty or angsty results
• Eskel's self-hatred about his scars, Geralt's self-hatred about ... a lot of things

Fandom 2: Original Work

Ship: Prince/Princess/Commoner who volunteered to be their mutual concubine as a wedding gift (OW)

• I saw this scenario as an arranged marriage between the prince/princess, who might have never seen each other before their wedding night and one/both are inexperienced and virginal. The commoner (prefer male) might be someone who is known to one or both of them (a servant? a trusted companion? a forbidden love?) who helps guides their consummation
• Angst welcome! But hopefully everyone has a rocking good time and there's a hopeful ending

Ship: Male Omega King/His Harem of Male Alphas (OW), Male Alpha King/His Harem of Male Omegas (OW)

• Alliances/forbidden love/bitter rivalries between the harem members
• Does the king have a favorite/favorites? How does he express this? Is it truly love on all parts?
• World-building and exploration of hierarchy and oppression (whichever way you decide the oppression runs)
• How pregnancy/child-rearing is handled. Does it raise the harem member in prestige?
• Also love me a found-family harem who all adore the king and rally around to protect him/advise him

Ship: Kind Sickly King/His Protective Best Male Friend/The King's New Male Betrothed (OW), Irritable But Competent Lord/Affable Male Captain of His Guard/Lord's New Male Betrothed (OW)

• Pining + forbidden love + protective/loyalty-based relationship + falling in love in an arranged marriage
• Complicated feelings all around!! Jealousy and misunderstandings!
• A slow-burn feelings-focused fic would be A+++ here ... emotional anguish and a happy ending?

Ship: Warlord/His Sorcerer Lover/Conquered Prince (OW)

• AOK with some hard dub-con here, but I'd prefer the prince to enjoy himself at least a little bit (even though he might hate himself after)
• The prince being wily and attempting seduction as a way to cause a rift between the couple (and quickly realizing he's in over his head)
• Sex magic
• Could go with a dark-ish ending with the prince ending up their pet, or a more hopeful ending with a benevolent warlord/sorcerer

Ship: Pirate Crew/Prince Who Paid Them To Kidnap Him (OW)

• Non/dub/fully con all AOK! Did the prince not have the money he promised? Or did he just want to have some fun before his "rescue"? 

Ship: Nymph/Pack of Werewolves (OW)

• Preference for male nymph
• Would like the werewolves to be of human-ish intelligence and not "full wolf"/beastiality
• Non/dub/fully con all AOK - a hunt through the woods + a ravishing? Is the nymph the leader of the pack and they are all protective of and adore him? A ritual sacrifice/trade of power? 
• Bonus points for a particularly innocent nymph

Ship: Elf Prince/His Male Orc Lover/King Brother They Overthrew (OW)

• Leaning towards a non/dub-con direction, but feel free to surprise me!
• Incest in on my DNW, but in this particular case it's just a squick if the brothers have sex with each other. Elf prince can direct his Orc lover in the ravishment/humiliation/etc. 

Ship: Male Alpha/Male Beta/Male Omega (OW)

• I'd love some world-building in this! Is alpha/beta/omega the most "standard" relationship pattern? Is there a hierarchical structure in this society/systems of oppression?
• Alpha/Beta are the "main couple" and Omegas are used as surrogates/pets?
• Alpha/Omega are the "main couple" and the Beta helps with child-rearing/household management?
• Rock-paper-scissors situation where Alphas lead the family, Betas care for Omegas and Omegas can control/pacify Alphas with pheromones
• Any subversion of said tropes!

Fandom 3: Dragon Age

Ship: Alistair/Zevran/Female Warden

Optional (but loved) if you use my female Tabris here

• Established Zevran/Warden: Zevran and Warden have a fiercely close bond. Alistair pines from afar until they take him in and throughly debauch him (bonus if it's his first time). Very two cats + a dog dynamic, he's just happy to be here ;;
• Established Alistair/Warden: Alistair and Warden invite Zevran for a sexual encounter (more likely, agrees to one of his half-serious propositions, to his surprise). Zevran is smitten to experience the relaxed, fun dynamic between the two and is surprised when they both decide to focus on him, as he is usually the one doing the servicing (very very bonus for Alistair fucking Zevran while Warden rides him). Afterwards, Zevran thinks that it's just a one-time thing and steels himself for never feeling such love again ... but then they reassure him that they want him for good.
• Established Alistair/Zevran/Warden (AU?): Alistair receives a visit from his Royal Assassins (and/or Royal Courtesans). Some power play where Zevran and Warden play-act that he is their king/can order them to do his bidding, but really the power is in their hands.
• Love triangle: Warden is really annoyed with Alistair and Zevran sniping at each other, acting jealous and not-so-subtly trying to get into her pants, so she agrees to sleep with both of them at the same time and date whoever can make her come first. Would prefer a humorous, light-hearted take on this rather than angsty haha, and Alistair/Zevran/Warden endgame, of course.
