I've mentioned a long time ago that my Ikemen Prince OC (MC stand-in) is Dahlia, and while I have many versions of IkePri running in my head simultaneously, one of them has Dahlia in a polycule with most of the Rhodolite princes. I started, and never finished, a fic with Dahlia pregnant and her prince suitors taking care of her, though I only posted it on ao3. I've also used this poly-AU as a jumping off place for many fics, including my long-fic (still in progress) Deceit and Decay.
Recently, I've requested a sketch series done by @dicenete of Dahlia pregnant with her lovely prince lovers, and you guys will not believe how GORGEOUS AND AMAZING they turned out! So good! Amazing work! Let me show you!
Here we are! The gift exchange hosted by @lorei-writes and @pond-lilies is here! And we can finally reveal our gifts! :3
My giftee is @crimsonchili ! I just saw the Secret Relationship trope in your S-tier and I ran with it xd Especially since I love how it would fit between Nokto and Mavis. A little handholding even at a public party, even if invested in different conversations, they would still know the other is near. I hope you like it, Chili!! ^^

This piece is my submission for the Top Tier! Gift Exchange, hosted by @lorei-writes and @pond-lilies.
I had an absolute blast with it and it was positively delightful to get to participate (and hang out with everyone on discord too).
Let's do this again sometime, hmmm?
Esther: Maeve, Maeve! How are the preparations going? Are you ready for the party?
Maeve: We got the pastries, we got the cake... I bought some tea from Jade and, oh, of course! We got enough honey just in case! Do you think we're good to go?
Esther: Looks like it. I finished writing the invitations too. The only issue is, Prince Clavis seems to be scheming something and I haven't found ---
A rickety sign stands in the middle of the corridor. "Careful: Spilled Tea," it says.
Spill the Tea! OC Gift Exchange party is about to start! Will you accept the invitation?
