and you needed someone to show you the way
by SailorChibi
Tony knows what the team really thinks of him. It's a delicate balance: they tolerate him because of his money and his toys, and he gets to stay on the team and fight with them. He's okay with that. So long as he hides the fact that Steve's and Bucky's names are written on his skin in the most embar
Don't Say It
by bibliomaniac
Tony Stark is autistic and nonverbal. Which is fine, obviously, except for it means that Steve and Bucky don't have his words, and it only takes him a few minutes to decide they don't need to know he has theirs. That's also totally and definitely fine, until he goes and falls in love with them.

You Think We Need One More?

meddle about
by hopeyoustay
Rhaenyra and Laenor both knew the backlash that would undoubtedly occur should they not have a trueborn heir of their own, likely courtesy of the Hightowers. So they get...creative. Harwin very much enjoys laughing at both of them.(A cup and funnel, a turkey baster, they'd tried it all. Things final
Follow Rivers

Love like a common cold
by supercrunch
Katsuki remembers it, vaguely; they’d gone out for patrol and immediately gotten mobbed by Uwabami’s rabid fans. Some guy asked for a hug. He had most of his face covered, and he wouldn’t let go even though Uwabami kept telling him to stop. Yaoyorozu had seen it and Katsuki had stepped in, yanking h

room enough for three
by rarepairenabler
Before he met Kuroo and Bokuto, Tsukishima didn’t think he’d ever fall in love again. He couldn’t have known he’d fall for two people at the same time and he certainly couldn’t have predicted that the two he’d fall for would already have each other. OR “Both of them,” Tsukishima repeats. He hadn't r
Absurdly Happy
by Sarolonde
If anyone had told Kei ten years ago that he would be in a relationship with these two idiots, Tetsurou and Koutarou, and the angel, Keiji, he would have given them a lopsided smirk and told them where they could shove their stupidity. Then, three years ago, when the four of them sat down for a very
To Build a Home
by rarepairenabler
“You’re gonna be living with them?” Iwaizumi asks, sounding more concerned than necessary. “With the two neighbors you’ve been crushing on for the better half of the semester?”What.Ridiculous.

Repair

Running in Triangles
by NoelleHolidayStanAccount (TerminalMiraculosis)
Noelle fell fast and hard for Susie. Embarrassingly so, really—while she can ace a math test or whip up a five-paragraph essay in short order, she’s incredibly out of her depth when it comes to romance. But after her strange dream in the library, she’s determined to give it her best shot.Kris has be
The Seduction of Straight Boy Solace
by stxrksfics
"So is everyone on this floor queer?" Nico says in bemusement. "Except for Hazel?"His sister glares at him indignantly. "That is a completely unfair accusation.

Blood and Magic

The Buried Life

playmaker (crossing the edge)

About Polyamory
Romantic relationships among three or more people, written with the negotiation, jealousy management, and abundant communication that real polyamory requires — or with the easy harmony fiction allows. Covers triads, vees, and whole-team arrangements.
Poly fic refuses the assumption that love is a competition with one winner, and readers enjoy dynamics where the answer to a love triangle is simply 'both.'
Common scenarios: A love triangle resolved when the two rivals realize they like each other too, or an established couple carefully courting a third who assumes they're joking.
