“What have you done to my vessel?” Grima gnashes his teeth and wails, clawing at his own torso until the fabric of his tunic frays, and fresh blood dribbles down his exposed chest. “What is the meaning of this?! Explain!” “Stand down,” Chrom commands, as his grip on his lance slowly eases. The cold hostility in his glare does not. “You cannot harm us here, fiend. We are allies now.” Grima will only learn this truth later, but: the cruel laws of this world have bound his vessel to a miserable, unbreakable contract of allegiance. Those summoned by means of the ancient relic, Breidablik – be they humans, gods, or monsters – are fundamentally incapable of killing each other. Grima, the breath of ruin and the wings of despair, has been rendered powerless.

@commonfate's request was nuanced polyam feelings, a focus on identity and emotions, and: 'Most of all, I would like to see Grima treated as their own character'. bonus points for JP-only mute robin ;) emotional baggage, trust issues, and non-linear narrative awaits - please enjoy!!

Found

A Laura/Clint/Natasha story. Written for the @polyship-exchange

Fandom: MCU Rating: Teen Word count: 3.2k

Excerpt:

It was Coulson who called, which should’ve given her a clue that things had gone very wrong.

He went for the jugular; there was no time to process anything after hello. “Laura, I regret to inform you that Agent Barton is M.I.A. and it’s been impossible to establish contact so far.”

A pit of despair opened at the bottom of her stomach. It was a struggle to stay standing as her knees buckled. Clint was missing—just missing. He could still be found. That made her ask for the only person who would be able to find a way out, “What about Romanoff?”

Coulson sighed. “They were together when the structure collapsed, Laura. They’re both missing, presumed dead by now. I’m very sorry for your loss.”

“I need to speak to Fury,” she asked. No, she demanded.

“He’s busy with the cleanup. Agencies tripping over each other for their missing people, yelling about those who got away —you know how it is.”

“Tell him—”

“Laura.” His tone made her pause. “There’s nothing left to do.”

Gifts are out!

Feel free to browse the collection works here or check your email for your gift!

It’s not required, but please consider leaving a kind word for your gifter. Consider leaving a comment on ao3, everyone worked hard on these gifts!

Thank you all for bearing with us through this process. This is my personal first attempt at an event like this run through ao3 and I appreciate all the feedback and support. 

Enjoy your gifts everyone!

A masterlist will be going out, but bear with me while I set it up!

[polyship-exchange]

sper excited about the works, I can't wait for reveals! question: will there be a masterpost on tumblr/dreamwidth to further promote the works?

That wasn’t in the plans but it can certainly be arranged! I’ll see if I can do that

[polyship-exchange]

It's almost the reveal date, and I'm excited to see everyone's gifts :) Will the AO3 collection go live if people are still waiting for gifts, or will it be postponed for pinch hitters? Thanks!

No, the collection will not go live until everyone has a gift. However, all pinch hits are in and the only gifts missing have already been discussed with the mods, we’re not worried. There is only one unposted gift to be concerned about, but it will not impact the reveal if it is unposted since the gift is for a mod.

TL;DR: Yes, but not to worry! The collection should be revealed on time

[polyship-exchange]

Quick reminder that the exchange deadline is in about 12 hours! If you need an extension or will be late, please contact one or both of the mods either via discord, dms, or exchange account(s). We will be reaching out via email to those who have not completed a gift!

[polyship-exchange]

Hey hey! I missed the sign up period this year, so I was wondering, are treats open to everybody, even if you're not otherwise participating in the exchange? And if yes, are the requirements still the same? (asking about min length specifically)

I am so sorry about the late reply, but yes! Feel free to gift to anyone! Treats don’t have to abide by the deadline, so you can post at anytime—even after the event ends. And yes, treats do need to meet the minimum.

Sign-ups open!

Hello, sign-ups are officially open! You can find the link here. Sign-ups will remain open until May 31st at 11:59 pm EDT (June 1st at 3:59 am UTC). For specifics, check the details within the sign-up form. For easier communication with the mods as well as easier access to event updates, consider joining the event server!

[polyship-exchange]

I found this too late to add to the tags, and while I like several of the fandoms, most of them only have relationships that I'm not into available. Since the relationship is a required field, I'm guessing I'm not able to request/offer that fandom unless I do the relationship(s) included?

Yup, I’m so sorry about that! Even if you were able to offer/request only a fandom, though, you would still end up creating for one of the relationships since others would still request the relationships.

[polyship-exchange]

Hi! Would it be possible for you to add a link to your carrd (and/or twitter and tumblr) onto the ao3 profile? as it is, you're like "if you have questions but don't want to join our discord server, please contact us on twitter/tumblr" but there's no easy way to find you from ao3. Thanks!

Yup! I can do that!

Hello! I'm looking forward to the sign ups soon! I just wanted to ask about the schedule: the creation period is unusually long for an exchange. I'm used to 6-8 weeks tops, with some extra time after for pinch hits to finish. Is there a reason it's four months long? I'm concerned that more people will end up dropping out with so much time to lose interest... Thank you for running the exchange, though, I really am excited!

Hey there! In all honesty, this is my (Aris) first time running an event of this size so I’m still getting the hang of everything. I referenced past events I took part in for general timeframes so it might just be something with the events I was a part of.

Hopefully at the end of this a form will be sent out asking for opinions on how to better the event in the future, I think that’s something worth adding to that. I’ll keep it in mind as well! Thanks for sharing and letting me know about that!

Tag Nominations Open

Hello everyone! Tag nominations are now open, you can find the link and guidelines below.

Link

- You can nominate 8 fandoms and 8 relationships within each fandom. The minimum requirement is 1 fandom with 1 relationship.

- Please disambiguate your nomination: this means adding the fandom name (or acronym/shorthand) in parentheses at the end of the relationship, --e.g. Dazai Osamu/Kunikida Doppo/Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs) or Sherlock Holmes/John Watson/Mary Morstan (Sherlock (TV)) - if in doubt, look up your fandom name on AO3.

- All relationships are welcome: use & for friend/aroace/Queerplatonic ships, and / for romantic/sexual ships.

- RPF is accepted, however, all those involved must be 18 or older.

Interest check question 1; How does the exchange work of its multifandom?

I answered this with an ask, but it’s always good to make sure it’s clear how it’s going to run!

In case you cannot see the picture:

Question :

“I'm intrigued in how this event would operate? There are many polyships spanning many types of medias, would people submit their own ships into the exchange? If so, what would happen if there were no other creators who knew of the ship?”

Answer:

Since this event is both multifandom and run through ao3, tag nominations will determine pairings allowed to create for. For a limited period of time, I will open up the tagset for nominations on the exchange collection and people can submit ships and fandoms. By doing this, everyone knows what is available to request, and no one will be left giftless due to a lack of interest in the ship. Unfortunately, once tag noms close, they will not be reopened and these will be the only ships and fandoms available to request or create. I will make an exception, though, for requests dm’d to me before sign-ups but after tag noms that are requested by two or more people.
