Prompts are here! Remember these are more guidelines than rules and you're welcome to interpret them however you'd like within the bounds of ethical/consensual non-monogamy. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

Day 1 - 4/5: Positions

What compromising or uncompromising positions does your group get into? Take this prompt with as much spice or sweetness as you’d like.

Day 2 - 4/6: Climate

How does the political, economic, or environmental climate affect your group? An excuse to write an elements-related AU or an in-depth commentary on the world your group exists in.

Day 3 - 4/7: Exposed

Exposure can be physical, mental, or emotional. Is your group exposed in the wilderness? Accidentally outed? Trying something new?

Day 4 - 4/8: Favorite Trope

What it says on the tin! How does your favorite trope change when applied to a CNM situation? Or can it be applied directly?

Day 5 - 4/9: Royalty

How does your group make each other feel like royalty? Or are they actually canon royalty? Maybe this is the perfect excuse to write a prince/princess/pauper AU.

Day 6 - 4/10: Peace

How does your group find peace? Is that peace with themselves, amongst the group, or with those around them?

Day 7 - 4/11: Why Choose?

Welcome to free day! Pick your favorite prompt ideas or tropes and mash them together! Or take it literally and create a why choose scenario for your group.

Their couple offers some great storytelling options to explore with the parallels between the two of them. And obviously, I prepared a table for this.

So, to start a simple list: eldest sibling, but having a strained relationship with their youngest sibling and in general aren't considered the best person in a room, have shitty parents, been abused, fire in their blood (even though it's cold and hot), private people, good dancers, good diplomats, good at risk assessment ( though some characters from 'stupid and brave' squad would name them just cowards), smart, and both have to deal with stupid people. Also, this is a wink to Azris, Nezriel and Nezris shippers: both had/have a crush/deep appreciation of Azriel's character.

Another observation from Silver Flames: they both understand and can play the social game(and they like it). They speak the same language. I always considered that a relationship between them would not start with love. It would start as something calculated, but I can see how over time they start to care more about each other. Because they are so similar, it means it's also a step in the self-forgiveness process. While loving each other, they will learn to love themselves. I guess that's why A Court of Flames and Forgiveness by mytearsricochet89 is my favourite of all times Neris work.

@polysjmweek Day 4: Alternate Universe Pairing: Nesta/Eris/Azriel Rating: Explicit

Read on AO3

Summary: AU where Rhysand runs a cult. Azriel is his most devoted acolyte—quiet, scarred, and utterly consumed by obsession.

Eris doesn’t believe in gods. But he keeps crawling back to the apartment that reeks of incense and rot, letting Azriel carve madness into his skin one kiss at a time.

Nesta just wants to find her sister. She doesn't believe in cults, or saviors, or second chances—only that Feyre is somewhere behind those doors, and Nesta won’t leave without her.

You know how these work - reblog this post and wait for the asks to start rolling in!

In your favorite poly pairing, who wakes up first? Goes to sleep last? 

Which SJM character do you think would most naturally thrive in a polyamorous relationship, and why?

In a canon-compliant world, how might different cities/locations (Night Court, Autumn Court, Adarlan, Lunation) culturally view or regulate poly+ relationships? How would that impact your characters? Bonus points if your characters cross the Maasverse.

Who is the “emotional glue” of your polycule? Who needs the most reassurance? Who’s the wildcard?

For modern aus: What’s their group chat name? What emojis are always being used?

Who in your poly group has the worst taste in movies and insists on regular Bad Movie Nights?
