Dear Holly Poly Author

[capsquared]

Genre thoughts: I love both the fluffiest of fluff and the smuttiest of smut. I don’t expect to see both in the same fic, but if you can make it work, power to you. I have a complicated relationship with angst - it’s fine if there’s some there, but I prefer it conclude with a happy ending. Given that I have multiple fandoms that include teenagers, please make sure everyone is 18+ - and that it’s made clear in the fic - if there’s going to be any smut.

Character death thoughts: Permanently killing a main character is a big fat DNW for me. Referencing the death of a minor character is okay, as long as it’s not a primary plot point. Basically - fic opens at a funeral or passing reference to someone that died before the events of the story, okay. Minor character dying in the middle of the story, DNW. Temporary character death is okay, as long as the resurrection occurs at the end of the story. Fix-it option for anyone dead in canon.

Pregnancy/kid fics: Yes please. I adore all sorts of kid fics. While I’m okay with mpreg as a general concept, I don't want to see it in every fandom or with every pairing, so I'll mention where I'm good with it in the specific request.

SFW DNWS (unless otherwise explicitly stated): on screen-death of any character, permanent death of a major character, angsty endings

NSFW DNWS: dub-con/non-con (unless otherwise explicitly stated), extreme kink, body fluids not meant to be involved in sex

DC’s Arrowverse
Barry Allen/Eddie Thawne/Iris West
I have a few ideas for three:
1) An Eddie never dies AU where they are an established OT3.
2) Barry & Iris trying to move on without Eddie when they find an alternate Earth version of Eddie.
3) When Barry goes back and saves his mom and changes things, he comes back to find Eddie alive and Barry, Iris, and Eddie are an established OT3.
4) Joe’s reaction to both his kids being in a relationship with his partner.

Barry Allen/Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak
I see this one starting as a V, with Felicity being the point, and over time Barry and Oliver become involved with each other as well.

Kara Danvers/Lucy Lane/James "Jimmy" Olsen
Kara had a huge crush on James and then Lucy shows up, and she decides “the more the merrier.”

Laurel Lance/Tommy Merlyn/Oliver Queen
This is my messy one.  Oliver dated - and cheated on - Laurel before he disappeared.  Laurel is dating Tommy when Oliver returns.  At some point it comes out that Oliver and Tommy used to hook up - I’m good with it being before Laurel or Tommy being one of the people that Oliver cheated on Laurel with.  Things get extra messy once everything is out in the open and ultimately gets resolved with an OT3.

ER
John Carter/Luka Kovač/Abby Lockhart
I think part of the issue with Carter and Abby is that they were both in bad places in their lives and when Abby first got back together with Luka she was in a much healthier place.  I’d love to see something where Abby turns to Carter during that period of season 14 where it seems like everything’s going to shit on the Luka & Abby front (I actually stopped watching for a bit and it’s been years, so a bit fuzzy on the details), and ends up evolving into an OT3.

Harry Potter
Charlie Weasley/Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
I have two ideas for this one.
1) Percy has always known that his boyfriend has had a hero-worship crush on his older brother.  After running it by Charlie to make sure that he’s on board, for some life event, Percy gives Oliver a “hall pass” to sleep with Charlie.
2) Oliver has an open relationship with Charlie because they live in different countries, and then Oliver starts dating Percy.  It gets all sorts of awkward when Charlie finds out that his boyfriend’s other boyfriend is his brother.

Audrey Weasley/Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
Audrey gets confused when Percy asks her out because literally everyone thinks that Percy and Oliver are a couple.  Her attempts to play matchmaker end up with her being part of the relationship as well.

Draco Malfoy/Bill Weasley/Charlie Weasley
Draco Weasley has a type.  He knows how incredibly ironic it is given how much he hates the Weasley family, but he finds himself drawn to gingers.  On two separate trips abroad, he hooks up with two different incredibly attractive gingers.  When he finds out later, that not only are his hookups related to each other, but that they’re Weasleys, he’s initially horrified, but it ultimately resolves itself with a V relationship, where Draco is the point.  I’m assuming that this is a) post-Hogwarts and b) an AU where Bill stays in Egypt and never marries Fleur.

Fleur Delacour/Nymphadora Tonks/Bill Weasley
Bill and Tonks would flirt at Hogwarts, but Bill never took things further because she was Charlie’s friend.  They lose touch when Bill graduates and moves to Egypt and when they reconnect years later, Bill is engaged.  Fortunately, Fleur doesn’t mind sharing.

Hermione Granger/Bill Weasley/Charlie Weasley, Hermione Weasley/Fred Weasley/George Weasley
I see both of these as two siblings that have always shared everything (Bill & Charlie shared a room at The Burrow) also deciding to share a girlfriend.  I see either of these as a V, with Hermione as the point.

Lucius Malfoy/Narcissa Black Malfoy/Severus Snape
Lucius and Narcissa like to spice things up occasionally and know they can count on Severus for his discretion.  Bonus points if Draco accidentally catches them in the act.

Marcus Flint/Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
This is one of my guilty pleasures.  I’m assuming that two are together first and bring in the third.  Percy/Oliver bringing in Marcus probably makes the most sense, but I’m open to the other alternatives.

Penelope Clearwater/Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
When Ginny sees Percy kissing Penelope, she only has half the story.  What she doesn’t realize is that Oliver is also part of their relationship.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
James "Bucky" Barnes/James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Sam Wilson
Please pretend that Secret Invasion doesn’t exist for this one.  Rhodey takes a more actively role in TFAWS and is working with Sam and Bucky the whole time.  It ultimately evolves into more.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Maria Hill/Steve Rogers
Steve and Maria are dating.  And then Steve’s long-presumed dead boyfriend turns out to be very much alive.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Maria Hill/Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov
I see this as a post-Winter Soldier AU where Bucky is found without all the drama from Civil War.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Natasha Romanov/Sam Wilson
As much as I like to just pretend Infinity War & Endgame don’t exist, a post-Endgame AU where Nat lives and Steve still goes back to be with Peggy.  The three of them have to learn to live without Steve and it brings them together.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers
Peggy helps Bucky and Steve hide their relationship and ends up becoming part of it.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Sharon Carter/Sam Wilson
They all loved Steve in their own way, and learning to live without him is what brings them together.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Howard Stark
I have a few ideas here:
1) Steve and Bucky were a couple before the war, and bring Howard into the relationship
2) Steve starts a secret relationship with Howard - Bucky, who had never thought about Steve that way before gets jealous. The three men eventually come to an agreement.
3) AU: Bucky and Steve were a couple before the war. After Bucky falls, Steve seeks comfort in Howard. Steve does not crash the plane and he and Howard continue their relationship in secret when they come home after the war. They learn that Bucky is still alive when Hydra sends him to kill Howard. They are able to break Bucky free of his programming and when the dust settles, it becomes a three-way relationship, because Steve can’t give either of them up.
4) AU: Steve still crashes the plane, but Howard finds him much sooner. Howard had always suspected that Hydra had tested one of Zola’s attempts to replicate the serum on Bucky, so when Steve survived at the bottom of the ocean, he convinces himself that Bucky survived the fall. Howard and Steve move heaven and Earth to get Bucky back and bring him home.
4) Present Day: Steve gets angry about the “went into the ice a virgin” jokes and makes a comment about how he had threesomes all the time during the war. Tony is horrified in a “oh my god please stop talking about my father’s sex life” way when he figures out who Steve was having those threesomes with.
5) Non-Superhero AU: Howard is a single father. He hires Bucky to help his son Tony learn how to defend himself as the boy gets relentlessly bullied over being smarter and younger than all his classmates. He doesn’t expect to fall in love with Bucky and his boyfriend Steve.
6) Howard, Bucky, & Steve were an established threesome during the war. Howard wasn’t trying the replicate the serum and therefore, Bucky was never sent to kill him, and Howard Stark is still alive when Steve gets found (either Maria has already passed away or she and Howard have divorced - no infidelity please). Tony gets his entire worldview turned upside down when Howard & Steve pick things back up, as it explains Howard’s obsession with Steve. There’s a whole lot of drama when Steve learns about Operation Paperclip, but it leads them to getting Bucky back.
7) Endgame Everyone Lives AU: Steve takes Bucky with him to return the stones, and then they go back to 1971 to be with Howard (just in case “changing the past doesn’t change the future” isn’t completely true, they don’t want to prevent Tony from ever being born).
8) Changing the Past Does Change the Future AU: Howard spent years trying to invent time travel in an attempt to go back and prevent Bucky from falling and Steve from crashing the plane. He stops when Maria gets pregnant with Tony so that he doesn’t prevent his son from being born. After Infinity War, they build on this research to go back, destroy the Tesseract and fix a bunch of other stuff so Howard, Bucky, and Steve get their happily ever after and Tony still exists.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov
Steve and Nat both have their complicated pasts with Bucky, which all comes to a head once it’s learned that Bucky Barnes and the Winter Soldier are the same person.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov/Sam Wilson
I see this as either a post-Winter Soldier AU where Bucky is found without the trauma of Civil War or a post-Civil War AU where Bucky’s not in cryo and is instead with Steve, Nat, and Sam doing their thing.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson
Give me anything post-Winter Soldier. Canon divergence (ignoring CW, IW, and Endgame) preferred.

Maria Hill/Pepper Potts/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
I see this as something set between Winter Solder and Age of Ultron.

Peggy Carter/Angie Martinelli/Daniel Sousa
We’re just going to ignore the whole ending of Endgame thing here.  Post Agent Carter, Peggy gets her happily ever after with Angie and Sousa.

Pepper Potts/James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Tony Stark
Tony and Rhodey have been on-again off-again for years because Rhodey can’t be out because of military regulations.  Pepper finds out about this once Tony & Pepper are already together.  Then DADT goes away, and Pepper takes matters into her own hands.

Pepper Potts/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
When Pepper takes matters into her own hands to make sure Steve and Tony get along, she doesn’t expect Steve to end up part of their relationship.

Sharon Carter/Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov
Maria and Nat both are aware of Sharon’s undercover identity when she’s living down the hall from Steve.  Being with them is the one time she’s able to be herself.

Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov/Sam Wilson
I definitely see them getting together post-Winter Soldier.  Or maybe there’s a quick hook-up in the middle of the action somewhere.  These three have been through some shit none of the others have and almost being executed by Hydra can be a bonding experience.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
At the time of the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve and Tony are dating and Tony is aware of Steve’s past with Bucky.  And then it turns out that Bucky’s not dead and Howard’s death wasn’t an accident.  As Tony and Steve figure out how to deal with these revelations, they end up helping Bucky recover from the brainwashing and even though Tony wants to hate Bucky for killing his parents, he can’t because he knows it wasn’t really him.

Numb3rs
Ian Edgerton/Charlie Eppes/Colby Granger
I’d love to see something about how they navigate this relationship without Ian feeling left out given that he’s not always there. I hadn’t considered this trio until I wrote it in a fic, and now I love it.

Power Rangers
Kimberly Hart/Tommy Oliver/Adam Park
I see this as Kim & Tommy being an established relationship and then mutually deciding to seduce Adam after he becomes a Ranger.

Kimberly Hart/Tommy Oliver/Hayley Ziktor
When Hayley starts dating Tommy, she’s well aware that he never got over his first love.  When said first love comes back into his life, she decides that sharing him with Kimberly is better than losing him to Kimberly.

Kimberly Hart/Tommy Oliver/Jason Lee Scott
Kimberly isn’t the only one with an immediate crush on Tommy.  She and Jason decide to pursue him together.

Rocky DeSantos/Adam Park/Jason Lee Scott
When Jason returns, Rocky isn’t just worried about losing his spot on the team, he’s also worried about losing his boyfriend.  While he wasn’t expecting things to turn out this way, he’s also not complaining.

Rocky DeSantos/Tommy Oliver/Adam Park
After Kimberly breaks up with him, Tommy starts spending more time with Rocky and Adam.  None of them are sure how that ended up with Tommy being added to Rocky and Adam’s relationship.

Rocky DeSantos/Tommy Oliver/Adam Park/Jason Lee Scott
Adam is the last of the four to turn twenty-one.  While celebrating, things take an interesting turn.

Sense8
Felix Berner/Wolfgang Bogdanow/Kala Dandekar
While Wolfgang has an immediate bond with Kala, he also has years of history with Felix.  He never imagines that he can have both them.

Hernando Fuentes/Lito Rodriguez/Daniela Velasquez
Once the truth came out, they thought Daniela would leave as she no longer needed to pretend to be dating Lito.  Instead, she stays.

Star Wars
Bail Organa/Breha Organa/Obi-Wan Kenobi
While Obi-Wan uses needing to keep an eye on Luke as an excuse for his life on Tatooine, it’s also to run away from his feelings for Bail and Breha.  After Leia is returned home, they tell him it’s time to stop running.

Lando Calrissian/Leia Organa/Han Solo
After Leia gets Han to admit that he and Lando have a past, she doesn’t expect her to invite Lando into their bedroom.

Lando Calrissian/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo
Han and Luke are an established couple and sneak off to the Falcon to celebrate the defeat of The Empire. Lando walks in on them and they invite him to join him. You can assume that Han and Lando had hooked up at some point in the past if you’d like - if you do run with that up to you if Luke already knew or if he figures it out mid-hookup.

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano
I’ve not seen Clone Wars or Rebels, and I’m only partway through Ahsoka, so there’s some canon I’m missing, but basically I’d like so see something where they say “screw this no attachments thing.”  I’m assuming Anakin was never with Padmé.

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun
Instead of trying to keep Obi-Wan away from Luke, Owen makes sure that he’s part of his life.  He didn’t expect Obi-Wan to also became part of his marriage.

Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker
Palpatine’s attempts to isolate Anakin backfire and he and Padmé end up bringing Obi-Wan into their marriage.

Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa/Breha Organa
I see this as an AU where Padmé lives and Bail and Breha give her, Luke, and Leia refuge on Alderaan.  Obi-Wan hides out there as well just in case they are discovered and need protecting - or an escape route.

Poe Dameron/Finn/Rey
Finn can’t decide is he wants Poe or Rey more.  It turns out that he doesn’t have to decide.

Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker
1) Qui-Gon lives AU.  Anakin is Qui-Gon’s Padawan, but Obi-Wan is a frequent presence because of his secret relationship with Qui-Gon.  Everyone ignores the obvious crush that a teenaged Anakin develops on Obi-Wan.  But then Anakin comes of age and everything changes.
2) Obi-Wan and Anakin start a relationship and Qui-Gon's force ghost won't leave them alone.

Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Mace Windu
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan work very carefully to keep their relationship secret as they aren’t supposed to have attachments.  When Master Windu finds out, it doesn’t turn out how they expect.

Stargate
Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran/Cameron Mitchell
Vala is used to getting what she wants.  And if she wants two boyfriends, she’s going to have two boyfriends.

Evan Lorne/Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard
I love the idea of the three of them going way back and having and on-again, off-again triad over the years where being stationed far apart is the main reason for the off-periods.  You can have them navigate a long-distance relationship with Cam on Earth and John and Evan in Atlantis or you can go with an AU where Cam is also in Atlantis.  I’m good with either. Mpreg is okay here in a "weird ancient tech did weird things and now there's a pregnant dude" capacity.

Evan Lorne/Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
When I was watching “Runner” to try to get Lorne’s voice back for a fic, I was drawn in by the banter between Evan and Rodney.  I see this as John and Evan dated back in the day and broke up pre-SGA.  Then John and Rodney start dating during season 1 when they have no idea if they’re ever going to see Earth again.  Then Evan comes to Atlantis in the second wave of personnel and it ends up becoming a triad.

Laura Cadman/Evan Lorne/Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard
The boys have had various entanglements over the years as their career trajectories have overlapped multiple times.  When he starts dating Laura, he assumes that he’s done sleeping with men, but Laura has other ideas.

Laura Cadman/Evan Lorne/John Sheppard
Here I’d love to see past Evan/John, and then Evan and Laura are part of the second wave as an established relationship and John is all sorts of jealous until they resolve things with a trio.

Laura Cadman/Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
John and Rodney are in a relationship.  Cadman discovers this while sharing Rodney’s body during the events of “Duet” and wants to be a part of things.

Sam Carter/Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard
They’ve all known each other for years, and have been together in various twosomes as they’re been together in the same place at the same time.  And then the Atlantis expedition gets sent back to Earth and all three are stationed at the same place at the same time for the first time ever.

Sam Carter/Vala Mal Doran/Cameron Mitchell
Given that Sam and Cam have known each other for years, Vala can’t understand why they aren’t together.  Her attempt to get them together end up an OT3.

Sam Carter/Vala Mal Doran/Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard
Vala meddling in her friends’ personal lives doesn’t quite go as expected.

Vala Mal Doran/Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard
I see “Pegasus Project” as the launching point for this trio.  Vala can tell pretty clearly that John and Cam are together, Cam has to explain why that’s a secret, Vala thinks its stupid but also beards for Cam back on Earth, and then eventually it becomes a triad.

Vala Mal Doran/Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Rodney is so shocked that Vala is flirting with him, that he blurts out that he has a boyfriend even though no one is supposed to know because of military policies.  She isn’t expecting Vala to tell him that his boyfriend is welcome too.

Suits
Donna Paulsen/Mike Ross/Harvey Specter
Donna and Harvey are already together when the series started and neither expects just what affect Mike Ross would have on their lives.  Mike’s lack of law degree isn’t the only secret they end up having to hide.
