AO3 COLLECTION | SQUIDGEWORLD COLLECTION

Happy New Year! I'm already looking forward to creating about the complicated relationship dynamics that come up when you have four or more people in a polycule. What are you looking forward to this year?

Well, hopefully, you're looking forward this event.

Let me introduce to you: the 2025 Four or More Valentine's Flash Fiction Madness collection!

What's this? It's a writing-focused challenge, however all mediums are welcome in the collection. The idea is to purposefully create in smaller chunks for your favorite relationships with #fourormore people with the intent of promoting your favorite ships and populating those tags of polyamorous goodness.

This event will run from February 7th to February 21st.

This is a low-stakes, personal challenge. There's no penalty for going over the limit. In fact, if you manage multiple works that go over the limit, you have my admiration.

  • All works must be your own and not previously posted. AI generated works will be deleted from the collections.

[ID: A picture of a person surrounded by smoke passing a blunt to the person in front. On top of it, there's a text that reads "pass that blorbo" in all caps.]

Pass That Blorbo 2k25 is a +18 prompt challenge where we try to figure out how to pass that blorbo in as many ways as possible.

How many ways can you pass that blorbo? Lovingly and sweet? Hard and brutal? Forcefully? Like a party favor? Like a blunt? Like the last bottle of tequila at the after party?

This April, we pass that blorbo.

I ammm always needing more werewolf shifter Steve BUT that โ€œMy turnโ€ on the polycule bingo is speaking to me ๐Ÿ‘€

Uno reverse and happy birthday! You get both. This is the closest I ever got to writing omegaverse, I think.

Part of @fourormore bingo - "my turn". I also used "snow" from the upcoming @stmonstercalendar werewolf day. Aaand I guess i could count it as "winter" from my @steddiebingo

E | 2575 | Stranger Things | Steddie, Corroded King | snowed in, open relationship, friends with benefits, orgy, mating cycles, werewolf Steve, not beta read im tired

"Well, this was a great idea," Eddie complains, his teeth chattering as he looks out of the window. Not that there is anything to look at. It's just snow as far as the eye can see.ย 

His answer is, of course, a loud choked off moan. He rolls his eyes.ย 

"I don't know what you're on about," Gareth answers, his breath hitching. "I'm having a blast."ย 

Jeff snorts.ย 

"Steve's having a blast. Inside you."

We proceeded without too much difficulty, though I watched Sleipnir intently. While my own senses were sharp, the horse had a mystical sense for danger and an understanding one wouldnโ€™t have expected, and I found myself growing quite fond of the creature. Intermittently, however, I would be reminded of his lineage, and had to swallow the urge to pull my partner from his back. The steed would eye me, as if sensing my doubt, and the anthropomorphising part of my brain couldnโ€™t help but think he looked almost apologetic, informing me that he was no happier about his lineage than I.

I wondered if he had any sense of who his father โ€“ mother? โ€“ was. I wondered if he was aware that he was dead. I wondered if heโ€™d care either way, if he did understand the concept.

I wondered if he felt the same darkness in his heart, and fought every day to be better than those that came before. Or maybe he tried, but secretly thought he could never outrun that darkness.

I blinked, shifting my eyes away from his.

I think Iโ€™m overthinking this a little too much.

My mind turned instead to the other child of Loki that dwelled in my thoughts. If Sleipnir was the good that had come from the trickster god, then Fenris was surely considered to be the evil โ€“ just as dark and torturous as his father, but with far more capacity for ending the world than the son of Odin had ever shown. Loki himself had proven largely content with extracting a more personal apocalyptic pain โ€“ good for the world, admittedly, though not so much so for my own bubble of it.

I turned my eyes to my partner, chewing worriedly on my lip. Iโ€™d thought Loki was the last of his kind we would ever have to face โ€“ and yet here I was. He and his bloodline seemed determined to haunt me to my last.

We passed into the mountains without issue, the peaks less intimidating than those surrounding Asgard. Nevertheless, the shadows cast over us made me shiver, fingers clenching around the reins. Bug glanced back at me with concern, and I forced a tight-lipped smile, my nod letting them know I was okay.

But I couldnโ€™t help the way my eyes skimmed every crag and recess, half-expecting to see the mangled body of the Spiders that had haunted my dreams after my frantic search.

We could see the border in the distance when Thor stiffened, raising his hand to still us once more. His head was cocked, looking off to his left, but I was focused on the land before us.

The divide between Nornheim and Varinheim was clear โ€“ from long views of soft meadows and rough rock to the all-encompassing, blinding white of snow and ice, glimpsed in short bursts between mist so thick it looked as though one could choke. Instinctively, I coughed, clearing more clinging debris from ash-coated oesophagus, and Thor shot me a look of fury, eyes narrowed. With a jolt, I recalled the warnings heโ€™d given as he explained the map to us.

โ€˜The Domain of the Dark Man. Not somewhere you want to go.โ€™

Heโ€™d seem nervous at the thought, eager to avoid whatever creature haunted this corner of a distant realm โ€“ except now neither realm nor creature were quite so distant, and his nerves were returning. With an apologetic wince, I ducked my head, fighting the immediate need to cough that arose as he slowly guided us forward once more.

I was almost relieved when the sound of horseshoes on rock became the softer thump of metal on snow, though each crack and growl and roar and howl of the ice had my heart stuttering.

And then the almighty cold wreathed itself around me and I gasped at the pain of it, air coming like knives in my lungs. Before me, Mars curled in on themselves, trembling violently. Even the great god leading our party ducked his head and hissed audibly, the wind whipping his hair around his face.

โ€œThor!โ€ I called, voice hoarse from the dry, frigid air. He looked back โ€“ with some difficulty, owing to the cape flapping into his vision โ€“ and I gestured. โ€œWe canโ€™t see a thing. We need to wait out this storm!โ€

He nodded once, glancing around himself, and then beckoned Sleipnir closer, leaning down to mutter indecipherably into the horseโ€™s ear. Slip leant out a soft nicker, the sound carrying on the wind, and broke into a brisk trot, leading our eclectic party along a path only he could perceive between towering blocks of ice and wind-whipped chasms.

It wasnโ€™t long, however, until we were led into the shelter of a colossal slab of rock, the ground around us protected from the ever-falling snow. A cavern yawned ahead of us, a dark hole in the ragged surface, and I hesitated as the horse didnโ€™t slow.

โ€œWeโ€™reโ€ฆ Going in there?โ€ I clarified quietly, the shelter allowing for a lower tone, the rock echoing my own voice back at me.

โ€œI would trust Sleipnir with my life โ€“ and, more importantly, that of the pair of you,โ€ Thor added, glancing back at us. With a stiff nod, I loosened my grip on the reins, giving Glaรฐr her head and letting her follow Sleipnir into the darkness.

Hi thank you for keeping this blog running, I have a suggestion: can we have a rec week/rec fest? I don't write or draw but I read a lot of polyship stuff and I would happily put together some rec lists to spread the love. I think a lot of people miss out on the good fics because they're posted/reblogged at odd hours and maybe having rec week every once in a while would help. Obviously it's just an idea you don't have to use it but it would be nice to participate

Well, let's see what people think about this.

What's a Rec Fest?

Traditionally, it's a limited period where people make recommendations based on a certain prompt set by the organizers. Sometimes people add their own review about why they're recommending a certain work, but it's not mandatory.

We would focus on polyamorous ships, with prompts to be released closer to the date of the event.

Share this with your polyshipping friends!

"You said you weren't dating"

Happy New Year @stevesjockstrap <3 I'm sorry this is late, this is def not what you (or I) had in mind and I'm sorry for the cliffhanger, I will coontinue this soon :')

Also fill for my @fourormore bingo "Didn't know they were dating"

Ships: Corroded Coffin, Steve/Gareth | 2.6k | M | CC living together (AND THEY WERE ROOMMMATES), pre-relationship, Jealousy, Jealous and confused Eddie, confused Steve, some flavor of a/demi-sexuality happening

"Gaaaareeeeeth!"

"Eeeeedieeeeeeeee!"

Jeff sighs. Every day he questions his choice in friends. Did he really have to pick the ones that use echolocation to find each other? It's not like the apartment is that big anyway.ย 

Eddie jumps off the last few steps with a thud, and not for the first time, he worries one day he's going to break a leg doing so. And how a lead guitarist on a wheelchair will look in a metal band?

"Could you not jump like that?" he asks, knowing full well it will have no impact on Eddie's behaviour. But at least his conscience will be silent.ย 

"I could, but where's the fun in that?" Eddie grins at him as he passes, trying to pat his head but Jeff ducks out of the way. He just started growing it out.ย 

"Yeah, walking in a cast will be hella fun too," he mumbles, but gets completely ignored as Eddie has already entered the kitchen.ย 

"What is it that I'm hearing of you hogging the garage this Thursday?" he asks as soon as he sees Gareth.

His answer is a loud sniffle and a choked voice.ย 

"What's it to you? I just need it."

Eddie furrows his brows, suddenly worried.

"You okay, man?"

But as he steps closer he can see it's just the loads of onions Gareth's been trying to chop all by himself. He rolls his eyes.ย 

"Outta the way, nerd," he commands as he hip-checks his friend away from the counter. "Wash your hands and face, I don't want no snot in my food."

Gareth snorts softly, but goes to the sink to do as he was told.ย 

"You have at least three extra pairs of hands on deck, you should learn how to use them," Eddie half-heartedly scolds him.

"I know, I know," Gareth groans like an exasperated teenager, making Eddie smile. He was the youngest of the group and sometimes fell into that role way too easily.

"So, what do you need the garage for that doesn't involve your band? Working on a solo project already?" Eddie tries prying again. He can already feel the sting of his eyes, but keeps chopping.ย 

Gareth hums.ย 

"Yes and no," he says eventually. "It is a solo project, but I'm doing it with another person."

Eddie turns to him, blinking slowly while a singular tear rolls down his cheek.ย 

"What?"

His friend tears off a paper towel to dab at his face.

"I saw an ad that someone is looking for a musician to help with a personal project. And I answered it," he explains simply.ย 

Eddie leans away from his touch, his eyes wide in shock.ย 

"You're inviting a stranger into our metal haven to play their boring personal shit?"ย 

"Yes," Gareth deadpans. "Well, I haven't met him yet, so I don't know how boring it is. I just thought it would be fun to do something different."

"What's wrong with our thing?" Eddie bristles.ย 

"Nothing?" Gareth frowns. "I just wanted to try something else?"

"Traitor!" his guitarist slams the knife on the counter. "Betrayer of bands! Of sacred blood brother bond!" he seethes, escaping the kitchen.ย 

Gareth sighs.ย 

"You never did the blood pact," he murmurs to himself. He grabs the abandoned knife to drop it into the sink. At least all the onion has been chopped.ย 

"Hey, Gar?" Doug enters the kitchen with a confused frown. "Why is Eddie crying and telling me you're ditching us for some guy?"
