Dear Holly Poly Author (2017),
Dear Holly Poly Author,
Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user graveExcitement (arachnids)), and I'm super excited for Holly Poly! Thanks in advance for writing for me. I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but feel free to ignore the prompts or only use part of them if a different idea strikes you!
The length of my prompts may vary between my requested fandoms, but rest assured this does not reflect any kind of preference for what I receive!Also, I'm still working on some of my prompts - if it goes too long without me finishing this up, feel free to have the mods prod me if you need to! I'm sorry it took me this long to finish the rest of the prompts - I'm fairly certain none of them were what you matched with me on, based on the sign-up summary, but I still should have finished this much earlier.
I'll take a moment to go into my Do Not Wants. These apply to all of my requests. I don't really want to see abuse; referencing/mentioning it is fine, I just don't want it to be focused on. Kismesissitudes (if you're a filthy Homestuck like me)/hatesex are great! I'd just prefer it stay in the realm of like, healthy rivalry. I also do not want any non-con or watersports/scat. (To clarify: I don't want non-con but I am fine with some dub-con, like sex pollen or other mind-altering substances.)
Now for some favored tropes/elements of mine:
In general I don't tend to think of prompts that are all that explicit, so my fandom-specific prompts probably won't have any smutty prompts, but if you do want to take it in a smutty direction, I'm down! A few elements I like in my smut are: mind-altering substances (alcohol, recreational drugs, sex pollen, aphrosidiacs), mating cycles/heats (though I'm not really fond of ABO fic otherwise, so maybe don't go that specific route), telepathy/mind-melding, light bondage, xeno, tentacles. But I also like non-kinky smut, don't worry - vanilla is fine with me!
As for some non-smutty things I like: I'm a big fan of telepathy, bodyswapping, and bodysharing. I love characters cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together. I also like hurt/comfort (especially sickfic), time travel/time loops, fake dating and fake marriage, soulmates/soulmarks (especially if they're an unusual form of soulmark!) and fics that focus on humor. I didn't really put most of these into my fandom-specific prompts, but if you want to jump off one of these tropes instead of or in addition to using the specific prompts, that's cool too!
My requested fandoms are:
Dangan Ronpa (and New Dangan Ronpa V3 - spoiler warning!)
The Expanse Series - James S.A. Corey
A Song of Ice and Fire
Homestuck
Total Drama
Mitarai/Tsumiki/Impostor
I loved the trio of Mitarai, Tsumiki, and the Impostor in DR3. The way they support and take care of each other is just [clenches fist] lovely. I'd love to see them get together, either during Despair Arc or post-Hope Arc! Fix-it fic/canon divergence AU for Despair Arc would be lovely (someone save poor Mitarai!) or you could stick to the bounds of canon. Hurt/comfort would be quite appreciated, and there's certainly lots of "hurt" possible (even just Mitarai's tendencies to overwork himself!)
Note: Either they/them or he/him pronouns for Impostor are fine with me. Also, I understand it's officially "Imposter"; that spelling's still weird for me, but it's fine with me if you use it!
Mitarai/Tsumiki/Impostor/Ibuki
I like the idea of adding Ibuki to this group - I love Heir Guitar (Ibuki/Impostor) and I think she'd fit well with Tsumiki and Mitarai as well! Maybe something set post-Hope Arc, with these four trying to figure out how they fit together? Would love to see Impostor and Ibuki supporting, inspiring, and cheering on Tsumiki and Mitarai.
Hinata/Komaeda/Nanami
I'm a big fan of the Trial Point Getters trio, obviously. I feel like these three are capable of balancing each other out nicely. As for prompts... It'd be interesting to see how these three would interact if Komaeda ever ran into Nanami and Hinata together during their Hope's Peak days, before the Kamukura Project sunk its claws into Hinata. Komaeda would probably be disdainful of Hinata... but perhaps Nanami could convince him otherwise?
Or, maybe a canon divergence AU from chapter 5 - could Komaeda have been swayed, if things were different and these three were closer together? Alternatively, I love Despair Disease AUs, so playing with that could be fun. Or you could just write them getting together post-game/post-Hope Arc, as they figure out how to heal. Anything's fine with me! At the end of the day, I'd just like to see these three working things out, helping balance each other out, and working together.
I've stuck my NDRV3 prompts at the bottom of this letter; they are spoilery, so beware if you have not finished NDRV3!

Amos Burton/Jim Holden/Alex Kamal/Naomi Nagata
With everything we see in Expanse-verse about poly families and poly crews of ships, I just want to see the (core) Roci crew as a poly family. Maybe something about how this relationship develops (maybe it starts with Holden/Naomi and Naomi/Amos, then expands to include Amos/Alex before all four of them get together? Or maybe it develops in some other way - I'm very open!) Or perhaps a soulmate AU - it'd be interesting to see soulmate stuff applied to Expanse-verse! Really, though, anything you write here would be lovely.
Top
Tyrion Lannister/Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen
Would love to see these three as dragonriders, the "three heads of the dragon." It could also be pretty cool to see the three of them ruling together in some capacity - Daenerys as queen with Jon and Tyrion as her advisors, or with Jon & Daenerys as king and queen with Tyrion as their Hand...
Or, you could do something more casual, set in Modern Westeros, perhaps? I have a fondness for Modern Westeros. (Either as a reincarnation thing or just as a modern-setting thing.)
Top
Jade Harley/Rose Lalonde/Kanaya Maryam
For Jade/Rose/Kanaya - either as a flushed triad or as a V with Rose in the middle - I'm thinking something fluffy, maybe even domestic. Cuddling and falling asleep together would be lovely for these three. Maybe gardening together? Or if fluff's not your thing, perhaps something set in a fantasy or space opera AU? I'm open to all sorts of AUs, really!
Sollux Captor/Terezi Pyrope/Karkat Vantas
I love the way these three synergize! The way they work together and balance each other out is just really interesting to me. I like these three flushed, pale, some flushed-pale combo where one or two of the individual pairings are flushed and the other one or two is pale... any of those are good! You could even throw some black romance in there if you wanted :U
As far as prompts go, just... something about these three working together and balancing each other out. Maybe a canon divergence AU where Sollux goes with Karkat and Terezi on the meteor for the 3-year trip?
Terezi Pyrope/Dave Strider/Karkat Vantas
Ah, Karkat/Terezi/Dave... a classic. Would prefer that the Terezi/Dave be flushed; it's up to you whether you go for flushed or black when it comes to Karkat/Dave and Karkat/Terezi. Could be flushed both ways, black both ways, or flushed one way and black the other.
I absolutely love the bantering between this trio. They each have a lot to say, and Terezi and Dave in particular are great at fucking with people, verbally. So, witty banter is a plus.
In general just... these three being willing to fuck with each other, but when it comes down to the wire they work together, fight together, protect each other. Some makeouts along the way wouldn't go amiss!
Top
Okay, so requesting this at all is a long shot, because the Total Drama fandom never really moved to ao3 and is usually nonexistent in exchanges. But it's always worth a shot!
Noah/Owen/Izzy
I love the friendships between these three in canon and would love to see how those friendships develop into a poly relationship. Maybe something set during or after World Tour? Or you could go even later, post-Ridonculous Race; maybe they end up on a hypothetical new season of TD? You could also go for something domestic/not competition related; them sharing an apartment could be fun (and chaotic, with Izzy in the mix!) Would love to see: pranks, shenanigans, cuddling, Noah wearing his partners' clothes.
Noah/Owen/Izzy/Eva
This is basically just the above, but with Eva added in - the same prompts apply!
Top
Beware of spoilers!
Harukawa/Momota/Saihara
Training Trio!! I loved these three's friendship in the game and I'd love to see that grow into something more. Something fluffy would be great - you could do something set in School Mode, or something with them actually attending Hope's Peak. Maybe something with them training together, or Momota dragging them into some mischief?
Fluff's certainly not required, however. Momota and Harukawa assisting Saihara with his detective work could be fun. Or a talentswap AU could be interesting too... Really, go wild!
Momota/Ouma/Saihara
I LOVE these three; I love pretty much any combination of them, and I especially love them as a triad. The way Momota and Ouma worked together in Chapter 5 was fantastic, and it just makes me think: how much could they accomplish if they were working together with Saihara, too? So, anything with these 3 working together, whether against the ringleader, or as partners in crime, or something else entirely. AUs are welcome.

In conclusion, I hope you are inspired by something in this letter! Good luck, and have fun!
Sincerely,
Grave
