Another requested fic that I was very excited to write! I'll admit, it took a bit of thinking (and some serious back-and-forth with myself) because I really wanted it to feel just right. Fingers crossed it lands the way I imagined x
Expect plenty of emotions, intrigue, a little spice, and lots of domestic Azris shenanigans because who doesn't love a little cosy chaos? :)
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Your votes and comments mean the world to me <3
Summary: If Rhys is going to determine why Eris hasn’t gotten you pregnant yet, he insists on reviewing the technique. In person.
CW: explicit smut, DIRTY TALK, heavy breeding kink, oral (bj), p in v, voyeurism, praise, you get spitroasted by a high lord and an heir, creampie, banter, you like being called a slut, inappropriate use of magic (fire, daemati, bargains), trying for an heir but make it a group project, this meeting could not have been an email, eris and rhys think dirty talk is a competitive sport, spoiler alert: you’re the ball
“Are you ready for my spark to catch inside of you?” Eris’s hot thickness drags against your walls in a mind-numbing rhythm. Your toes curl in response to his words.
The air shifts. A dark presence appears.
“I heard you’ve had a little trouble breeding. I’ve cleared my calendar. I’m here to help.” Rhysand leans against a chaise, eyes on where you and Eris are joined.
Your chest flushes hot. This is the first time Rhysand has seen you nude. And you're split open on your mate.
Eris's hips don't miss a beat. “You’re early.”
“Couldn’t wait to see my magnificent mate? Or was it my cock that tempted you?” He tosses his hair over his shoulder. “I hope you haven’t been neglecting male lovers now that you’ve found your mate. Might make you overly eager.”
Rhys slips a few fingers into his pocket. “On the contrary, my mate quite enjoys sharing males. I’m here because you two asked me to help. Do I need to remind you why I’m your best hope at proper breeding?”
His words, “sharing males,” repeat over and over in your mind as you look between Eris and Rhys, clit throbbing.
Eris adjusts his grip on your thighs, the smooth metal of his rings digging into your skin. “No. But there’s nothing in this realm that would keep you from a chance to brag.”
Rhysand stalks closer with each phrase. “I’m the only High Lord to whom you’re not related who’s fathered an heir. My daemati gifts make me uniquely able to diagnose any issues by using your exact memories.” His violet gaze pins you. “And I’m excellent at making both males and females cum.” He tucks a strand of hair behind your ear, the soft motion at odds with the danger in his tone.
Eris pumps into you faster. “We don’t need any help with that last bit.” Eris’s eyes cut to yours. “Do we?”
A mischievous smile curves your lips. “Definitely not.”
“Let’s see about that.” Rhys sandwiches your hand between his. “Show me what I have to work with, darling. Let’s see how much of a slut you are for Eris.”
Eris’s smirk could cut glass.
You feel Rhysand hovering at the edge of your mind. It’s not unpleasant. It makes you feel deliciously exposed, like someone’s about to see your hidden stash of smut. The thought of him experiencing the many ways Eris has fucked you through your perspective makes your veins spark with need.
You close your eyes. “Do it,” you say. “Please.”
Rhys’s power slips into your mind like melting butter into warm toast. He gasps softly as he latches onto the first naughty memory. “Mmmm. Here we go. Let’s revisit all the loads he’s given you. I need to see them all.”
Eris chuckles. “How long do you have?”
His thrusts slow to an agonizing crawl. The pace he uses when he wants to take his time, keeping you suspended in bliss until your body forgets what it feels like to not be stretched open on his cock. Cauldron help you.
Scenes of sex with Eris float through your mind’s eye, one after the other. An urgent quickie on his desk, still-wet ink stamped on your ass. Riding him slow in his favorite velvet armchair by the fireplace. Back pressed against firm bark in the Autumn Forest, held upright with ropes of fire.
Breaths come heavier as the past slips by faster and faster. Eris’s measured thrusts and Rhysand’s manhandling of your raciest memories blur everything into pleasure and desire.
Your eyelids flutter open, instantly noticing the hand Rhys is holding is mere inches away from his sizeable bulge. You want it.
You’re sucked back under when a hungry sound crawls up Rhysand’s throat. Your cheeks burn as hot as Eris’s fire when you realize he’s rifling through every moment you were wet and wanting. It spurs you higher, calves contracting when your mate’s aroused satisfaction snakes down your bond.
The scent of Rhysand’s arousal fills your nose, thick and heady. “Well. There’s no question about how much she loves your cock. And you certainly fuck her often enough.”
Your pussy clenches involuntarily. Eris groans in response.
“But I do see some opportunities for improvement.” Rhys blinks twice, coming back to the present moment. He leaves a tendril of his power plugged into your mind.
His grip on your hand softens.
Somewhere far away, you’re happy Rhys has found what he needs. But right now, he’s what you need.
You grab the hard length of him through his pants, mouth already salivating.
His answering laugh is dangerous. “I’m here to make you two cum. Not the other way around.”
“Want to make me cum?” you ask. “Let me have you.”
Eris presses his warm palm to your lower stomach. “Can you help and fuck at the same time?” His voice drops an octave. “My mate is hungry.”
Rhys’s fingers play with the leather of his belt. “I’m more than happy to play along. The lady gets what the lady wants. And right now—” his head tilts, then his eyes darken, “—she wants me to feed her.”
He read your mind.
Literally.
You lick your lips—slowly.
His buckle clinks as he shoves his pants down, thick shaft springing free. He grabs it and holds it above your face. “Is this what you want, darling?” He thumps it against your cheeks a few times.
Eris’s irises glow amber. “You look like a High Lady already. Getting two powerful males to worship you at your request.”
You roll your tongue seductively along your lower lip. You want Rhys inside you now.
“I’d ask if you’re always this eager. But you’ve already exposed all your dirty little secrets.” Rhys groans as he slides the head past your lips, halting once he’s filled your mouth.
Eris thrusts into you a little faster, voice purring, “Yes, she’s a very good slut.” His nostrils flare. “And today the scent of her sweet cunt is even more intoxicating than usual. She’s ripe for breeding.”
Your hands fist in the sheets. You silently beg Rhys to move already.
A dark chuckle from Rhysand. “You forget I can hear you, darling. She really is a good girl… begging so prettily for me to fuck her mouth.”
“My mate is an excellent beggar. She’s had plenty of practice. Even her body begs.” Eris rolls a nipple between his warm fingers. “Look at the way she pushes her chest towards us, asking for more. See how she coats me so liberally with her nectar. Witness how nicely she begs to be bred.”
Your mind says what your mouth cannot. Yes! Breed me. Pleeease.
Rhysand squeezes your other nipple. “Do you feel how hard you’ve made me? Watching Eris fuck you makes my dick swell.”
It weighs heavy on your tongue.
“Feeling Eris stretch you open on his cock over and over made mine throb for you.”
He’s all you can taste.
“And feeling how you burn to be filled again and again made my cock ache to stuff your holes.”
He finally starts pumping. Slowly. Like he’s savoring every millimeter of friction.
The flames in the fireplace crackle louder. Eris must be enjoying this as much as you are.
Rhys grunts. “Why have you never mentioned how delicious her warm mouth feels?”
Eris’s wicked fingers wander down your body, petting and stroking. “Why would you assume she’s anything less than perfection?”
Their praise makes you squirm, but there’s nowhere for you to go. You’re pinned between the two males.
You swirl your tongue and hollow your cheeks to show Rhys just how good you can make him feel.
He growls and grips both sides of your face. “That’s it. Suck Daddy’s cock so I can make your mate a daddy too.”
Eris’s fingers still for one moment. “I won’t be calling you that.”
The High Lord of the Night Court’s power hums through the room. His voice is cool and treacherous. “Only one of us is a father, Eris. You want to be one, too? You’ll call me whatever I tell you to.”
Eris uses his courtier tone. “Are those your new terms?”
“Absolutely.”
Two moments of total silence.
“I’ll call you that when I see proof of your usefulness,” Eris counters.
“Deal.”
Magic hums between them, buzzing through your body on both ends, meeting in the middle. It heightens the pleasure.
Rhys chuckles darkly. “I would ask if you liked me being in your mind and mouth at once, but you can’t talk, and your thoughts have already told on you.”
Every embarrassment just fuels the flames that sizzle your blood.
Eris circles your clit. You melt further into the mattress from the perfect pressure. “How does it feel to be all stuffed full?”
Your pussy, your mouth, your clit—it’s all too much and exactly enough, but still you want more.
Rhysand palms your breasts. “Such a good girl. Look how well she sucks us both in at once.”
Their dirty mouths are going to end you right here in this bed. The floor is going to swallow you whole. Or your body is going to float into the sky. Maybe both.
Eris fucks up into you faster, pushing his arousal down the bond. “You’re perfect. Our perfect slut.”
Your pussy throbs around him, each pulse drumming deeper.
The daemati’s voice is in your ears and your mind. “Do I taste as good as your pretty mate?”
You moan around him, losing yourself to the pleasure in every crevice of your mind and body.
Out of the corner of your eye, you see Eris lean into Rhy’s space, faces so close their noses nearly touch. “She’s magically wired to favor me, but don’t worry, I bet you’re a close second.”
Your thighs tremble.
Rhys doesn’t retreat an inch. His tone? Mocking. “Aww. Is your mate the only one who likes your flavor?”
Eris's mouth curves. “Spare me the restraint. You're here to assess me, aren't you?”
Wait. They aren't actually going to...
Their mouths meet above you, urgent and shameless. Their lips dance as well as their words do. They take turns tongue-fucking the other with the same rhythms they’re using on you.
The fire roars louder, logs crackling.
Your pussy melts. Wetness gushes where you and Eris converge.
Rhysand pulls back with a knowing chuckle. “Did you enjoy that as much as I did, darling? Can you feel it through the bond, Eris? How close she is to cumming?”
Rhys’s lazy rhythm steadies you.
Eris’s urgent pace winds you tighter.
Every muscle in your body clenches.
Eris heats his swirling finger a few degrees. “Is the sum total of your help thrusting yourself down our throats?”
Rhys barks a laugh. “Hardly. I need to make sure you don’t hold yourself back.”
“Does it look like I’m holding back? I’m about to make her cum all over my cock.” He drives in harder to make his point.
Your insides coil, primed to snap.
Rhysand’s voice is pure, chilled night. “Prove it. Cum with her.”
A dare.
Please. Please. Please.
“I could if I wished.” A few heavy breaths. “But I always attend to her pleasure first. Several times.”
Rhys’s thumb circles your cheek. “Trust me, we’ll take good care of her. But breeding takes many loads. Are you up for it, Eris?”
Your muscles lock.
Eris’s grip on your thigh tightens. He pounds himself into you. His cock heats your pussy from the inside.
Oh fuck.
Your eyes roll back. He’s about to fill you up.
“Prepare to carry my flame,” Eris says, voice straining at its leash.
Your hips rise on their own.
“Breed her full, Eris.”
Every nerve explodes.
Fireworks.
Made of flame and pleasure.
Your mate’s groan rings in your ears.
Eris’s hot cum hits your deepest point.
Your insides milk his cock.
Are you floating above your body?
Your cunt sucks Eris’s seed further into your depths.
Only heavy breathing breaks the silence.
Rhysand pulls out of your mouth.
You suck down more air.
He strokes your jaw. “You did so well.”
Eris’s eyes, smoky and half-lidded, find yours. “My perfect girl.”
The moment stretches. Ten breaths of contented stillness.
Rhys clears his throat. “Good work, fire prince. Now push it deep and seal it inside her with your magic.”
A tiny ember reignites in your core.
“Already on it.” Eris pulls himself out of you. Then something warm and smooth slides deep, plugging you and keeping your mate’s wet seed nestled against your walls.
The mattress dips beside you. He scoops you into his chest, kissing your forehead. “Thanks for all your help, Rhysand. I was hoping it would be more enlightening.”
Is Rhysand really going to leave so soon?
A voice slinks into your mind. “Let’s rile him up, shall we?”
Rhys’s chuckle promises danger. “Do you think we’re here just to give her one load? We’re here to breed her full. If you don’t pump another one into her, I will.”
Eris’s head snaps to the High Lord of the Night Court. Fangs glinting.
Rhys’s voice is black silk. “My cock is ready. My balls are loaded. My seed is strong.”
Eris snarls.
Rhysand strokes his slick cock, precum already blooming. “Your choice, Eris. Do you want to raise a Night heir or an Autumn one?”
Possible Part 2: Rhys hasn’t yet demonstrated why he was called in to consult. He intends to prove his value with a hands-on lesson in technique. Eris may find the instruction… unexpectedly interactive.
Arriving in the Winter Court in the middle of a storm has you shivering all over. Luckily, your two best friends are ready to keep you warm.
warnings: none
note: happy day 2 of @polysjmweek ! this was my favorite fic to write for the week because it gave me the best idea for day 7 which is a pretty steamy fic (pun intended, you'll get it in part 2 lol)
“Mother above,” you say through chattering teeth. You were no stranger to cold or harsh winter days in the Night Court. But the winter season in the Winter Court is truly something else. If you had known how cold and windy it was going to be you would’ve winnowed with Mor instead of visiting your friend in a nearby village first, then making the trek over to the palace. Thankfully it wasn't a long walk in the blizzard, though it felt like it.
As guards close to the doors to the massive palace once you’re inside you spot your favorite Illyrians led by one of Viviane’s assistants. Azriel sees you first, his hazel eyes lighting up as he takes you in. You notice the corners of his lips drop as he sees that you're shivering, his shadows curling next to his ears. He politely excuses himself and Cassian from the female and rush over to you.
“Thank goodness you made it in one piece.” Cassian says, pulling you into a giant warm hug. “Once the weather turned for the worst I had half a mind to go out looking for you.”
“I was fine Cass, honest.” You appreciated how worried your friends were but sometimes they could be over dramatic. Especially Cassian.
“You must be freezing,” Azriel says, freeing you from Cassian’s hold. He slips off your gloves cupping his hands around yours to heat them. “A little,” you giggle at Azriel’s touch. Heat flooding your cheeks at the way he looks at you with such care and gentleness. “Let’s get you warmed up then.” Az rests a scarred hand on your lower back to guide you towards your room for the next few days.
Cassian opens the door ushering you inside. A fire is already burning bright in the small hearth of the guest room and soft fur blankets are piled on the end of the bed. Your bag rests on a foot stool by the dresser waiting for you to unpack thanks to Mor.
“Here, let me help,” Azriel unbuttons your coat, sliding it off along with your hat and scarf. All of which are wet from the snow storm outside. Cassian wordlessly strides over to your bag to dig out fresh warm clothes for you. They reluctantly leave you to get settled for a bit since Rhys called them away.
You climb under the covers still violently shivering from your walk. A knock sounds on the door as you pull a blanket around your shoulders, Az and Cass poke their heads in. “We just wanted to check on you before our next meeting.” Cass says. “And we brought you something.” Az holds up a pair of dark, thick wool socks, the ones you have always been jealous of because they seem so warm.
Azriel kneels next to your bed gesturing for you to turn to him. You let him slip the socks on your feet as you try to bite back a smile. “Thank you,” you whisper. “You’re welcome.” Az says, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead. You wished his lips lingered. That his hands weren’t afraid to caress you. You look up at him with bright eyes as the heat fades from your cheeks.
Cassian ruffles your hair, his large hand lingering comfortably on the back of your head. You hold back from leaning into his grasp. His hand slips from your hair and he longingly looks at his palm.
Instead of saying anything, Cassian wraps the abandoned blanket snug around your shoulders, and pulls the down blanket, along with two throws over your lap. “Can we get you anything?” Your eyes quickly dart to the book poking out of your bag but you feel too bad to ask for it. Azriel notices as well as his shadows. The little wisps transport it from your bag to your lap making you smile.
“Warm up, love. We’ll check on you before dinner.” You nod at them as they leave, wishing they would stay and cuddle you. You’ve had dreams where you’re squished between them–some dreams less innocent than others. One day, maybe, you’ll get the courage to say something when you’re not cold and pathetic looking.
Azriel and Cassian couldn’t focus to save their lives. Their minds focused on you.
Are you warm yet? Your hands and face were so pale and cold it made them worry. Should they have called for a healer to check you over?
Too many questions ran through their heads as Rhys and Kal discussed borders and other High Lord duties they could commiserate in.
Azriel knew with a certainty that it was the mating bond that connected you to him and Cassian. He hadn’t stopped shivering since he laid eyes on you and he is rarely this cold. The Illyrians shared a look, as if to ask each other the same question of how and when?

You knew exactly what you were doing, even if you wouldn’t admit to it.
There was a reason you were wandering the halls in nothing but a tiny nightgown, the one that Cassian had complimented you on when he’d barged into your room without knocking one morning before you’d dressed.
You were waiting.
Waiting for your best friends’ ruts to overpower their better judgement when they scented you. They’d warned you to stay locked in your room as often as you could over the next week, not wanting to take advantage of you.
Not that they would be, but you still weren’t ready to confess that they were the only alphas you thought of during your heats, a knotting toy between your thighs as you held their stolen clothing to your nose.
You were tempted to go to the shared bathing chambers deeper in the House of Wind, but decided against it. It would be far more fun for you if you had a chance to run from them before they pinned you to the stone and knotted you-
Your thighs squeezed together for a moment, heat pooling low in your belly just at the thought of being taken by them. Currently you were heading in the direction of the High Lord’s personal library, much smaller than the one the priestesses lived in, but close enough to the alphas’ rooms that they would be able to find you if they opened their doors. It only took a minute or two to reach the large double doors, one of them already cracked. You peeked inside, the overwhelming scent of alphas in rut hitting you, slick beginning to drip down your thighs. You couldn’t see them, but you heard low moans coming from further back in the room.
Slipping inside, you shut the door behind you softly before padding towards the back of the room where the sitting area was. The quiet sound of skin on skin and low groans had you clenching on nothing, anticipation building in your blood. You made it to the bookshelf before the couches before the noises stopped suddenly, two cold shadows wrapping around your ankles.
Oh no, you thought to yourself, heart racing in excitement as you peeked around the corner, coming face to face with Rhys, violet eyes and hulking wings waiting for you right around the bookshelf.
“Pretty ‘mega, what are you doing here?” he crooned, both of his hands grabbing your waist firmly, face diving to your neck a moment later.
“Ah- I just went out for a- a walk,” you stuttered, thoroughly enjoying hit tongue and lips and teeth on your neck, getting dangerously close to your scent gland.
“Should’ve thought better, omega,” Cassian warned, rising from the couch he’d been on with Azriel, the other Illyrian following a second behind.
“Too late now,” Azriel growled as the three of them encircled you, hands pawing at whatever skin they could reach.
Rhys’s hands lifted you off the ground, spinning you away from the other males and towards the couches, and you took the opportunity that a slip of one of his hands gave you, darting off into the library and away from them. Not that you expected, or wanted, to get far, not with the speed and skills the three of them possessed.
However you’d expected to get further than the first bookshelf, Azriel’s shadows clamping around your ankles and sending you sprawling towards the ground, more shadows cushioning your fall and preventing any damage, but stopping you with your face on the ground and ass high in the air, exposed when your nightgown slipped up your torso.
“Silly omega,” Azriel tutted behind you, already teasing your folds with the head of his cock. “Rhys said you felt my shadows, I think you want this,” he said, pushing into you in one thrust, stretching you wide. A shadow slipped over your clit in quick circles, easing the pain as he began to fuck you without letting you adjust, setting a quick pace. Just as you’d wanted, his rut had taken away his gentleness and let him take without babying you, your cunt already quivering when the other alphas joined you.
Rhys didn’t ask before lifting your head up and pushing his cock against your lips, and you opened eagerly, moaning at the taste of him, and again when Azriel brushed your cervix, pain mixing with pleasure deliciously. You tried pressing your hips back as Az thrusted into you but Rhys growled, holding you by your chin to keep you in place for him.
Your eyes were pouty when you looked up at him through your lashes, watering when Rhys hit the back of your throat, gagging slightly around him and clenching around Azriel’s length.
You felt hands on your chest, large fingers slipping below your nightgown to pinch your nipples and squeeze your breasts.
It was perfect, being touched by the three of them at once. All you wished for was a way to take all of them at once, but you felt Azriel’s knot threatening to pop each time he buried himself in you, the squeeze of your cunt only tempting it further. He felt just right in you now, brushing every sensitive spot in you with each snap of his hips, sending you closer to the edge.
Rhys was getting close too, enjoying going as deep into your throat as he could and staying there until you needed to breathe, and you loved the way he gagged you as you brought your fingers to cup his balls, tears spilling from your eyes while he emptied himself in your throat, knot inflating against your lips. He hissed, pulling out of your mouth, cum still leaking from his tip. You chased his cock, licking up the rest of his seed and giving him a cock-drunk smile before your lips parted to moan, Azriel’s shadows sucking on your clit, his own cock spilling inside of you a second later, knot popping inside of you and you tumbled over the edge, milking him as you shook beneath him.
Cassian pushed Rhys out of the way, pressing his cock to your lips and you parted them greedily, though you weren’t certain that he would fit- he was thicker than Rhys, and a little bit longer.
But that didn’t mean you wouldn’t try, and he didn’t seem dissuaded either.
You slid your tongue along the underside of his cock as he slowly pressed into your mouth, and you felt Azriel twitch in your cunt. He probably enjoyed the sight, especially with him having the honor of knotting you. You gagged far faster on Cassian, the sheer size of him making it harder to breathe, and you felt Rhys slip into your mind, far more overpowering than usual with his rut, but you hardly minded as he forced your jaw to relax, letting Cass slide to the back of your throat, his throaty moan more than worth it.
He fucked your mouth slowly, savoring the tightness and trying to buy himself, not wanting the same fate as Rhys, with no sweet omega cunt to bury his knot inside. If you’d been looking, you would have seen Rhys roll his eyes. Instead you felt Azriel’s shadows start again, rubbing your clit quickly, easily sending you over the edge with how stimulated you were. Your moans around Cassian’s cock had him spilling down your throat, knot inflating as he did, and he cursed, a hand knotted in your hair keeping your lips flush to his knot until he was spent. You popped off his cock gasping for air, chest heaving in your nightgown.
You felt wonderful as Azriel tipped the both of you onto your sides, his chest pressing tightly to your back and arms curling around you assertively, the other two alphas kneeling in front of you.
Waiting to claim you next.
You sighed and nuzzled into Azriel’s hold, delighting when he curled a wing around you. You knew it was only a matter of time before his knot went down and you were being fucked by one of his brothers, and you were determined to enjoy your down time with each of them. After all, the end of their ruts could mean the end of your friendship with them.
Or, your mind whispered traitorously, it could end with you claimed by all three.
You clenched at the thought, mentally crossing your fingers that the boys would lose control with you entirely. You’d like nothing more than to be claimed by all of your best friends, and you had a sneaking suspicion that they’d always wanted it too.
You supposed you’d find out over the next week, tied to their knots.
warnings: none, reader is an over thinker for nothing. short n sweet!
a/n: written for day 2 of @polysjmweek
Your hands trembled slightly as you walked between your mates—Cassian on your left, Azriel on your right, their warmth a reassuring contrast to the cold panic settling in your bones.
A throuple mating bond was rare. Unheard of, even.
Would the High Lord believe it? Would they think it was all some ploy to get close to the General and Spymaster of the Night Court?
What if they didn’t approve? What if they thought it was too brazen? If the High Lord insisted that you must pick one to uphold the image of the royal family?
Cassian must have sensed the spike of anxiety rolling off you, because his fingers found yours, squeezing gently. “You’re shaking, sweetheart.”
You let out a nervous laugh. “Can you blame me?”
Azriel, always attuned to your emotions, brushed a soothing hand down your back. “We told you, they’ll love you. You have nothing to worry about.”
“You don’t know that,” you mumbled.
Azriel’s expression softened, but it was Cassian who stopped in his tracks, his grip on your hand tightening. “Hey.” You turned to find his hazel eyes burning with conviction. “You’re ours. No one gets to question that. Not even our family.”
Azriel nodded, shadows curling around his shoulders as if they had their own points to add to the conversation. “And if they do question it, we’ll handle it. Together.”
The love in their gazes, the unwavering devotion—it was enough to steady you.
And so, with a deep breath, you let them continue guiding you to the River House.
Laughter spilled from the sitting room as you entered. The warmth of a fire crackled in the hearth, golden light flickering over the gathered group.
Rhys lounged in an armchair, his arm draped over Feyre’s shoulders as she murmured something that made him grin. Morrigan was sprawled across the couch, sipping wine, while Amren sat cross-legged beside her, twirling a goblet between her fingers. Nesta and Elain were curled up on the loveseat, engaged in quiet conversation, but it was Nyx—perched on his mother’s lap—who noticed the new arrivals first.
His bright blue eyes widened as he pointed and announced, “Uncle Cassian and Uncle Az brought someone!”
Silence fell and you froze. All at once, every gaze locked onto you.
Rhysand was the first to stand, his expression unreadable. “Well, well,” he mused, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. “I was wondering when you two would stop keeping secrets.”
Cassian chuckled, placing a hand on your lower back, grounding you. Or keeping you from running out the door. “Not a secret. Just… something we wanted to take our time with.”
Azriel gave a slow nod. “We wanted to introduce her when she was ready.”
Morrigan set down her wine, sitting up straighter. “And she is…?”
Cassian grinned down at you. “Our mate.”
You felt like you might implode on the spot, your cheeks warming with all the attention on you. You hadn’t really talked about how they would introduce you to their family but this wasn’t exactly what you had in mind.
“Holy shit.” Mor gaped.
Feyre blinked, looking between the three of you. “A throuple bond?”
Even Amren looked mildly intrigued, which was practically the equivalent of shock for her. “That is rare.”
Your throat felt dry as you swallowed, heart pounding. “I—I know this is… unexpected.”
Feyre smiled gently. “Unexpected doesn’t mean unwelcome.”
You hesitated. “You mean it?”
Rhys’s violet eyes twinkled. “Darling, we’re Fae. The Mother works in mysterious ways.” He lifted a hand, summoning a few bottles of wine with his magic. “Now, I believe a celebration is in order.”
A soft, relieved laugh left you as the tension in your chest unraveled.
Cassian pulled you to the couch, settling you between him and Azriel as drinks were passed around. His arm draped over your shoulders while Azriel’s fingers found yours again, holding them tight.
Mor leaned forward eagerly. “Okay, spill. How’d you three meet?”
Cassian grinned, nudging you. “Should we tell them?”
You rolled your eyes, cheeks warming again. “I think you should tell them.”
Azriel’s lips twitched in amusement, and he glanced at Cassian. “Go on, big guy.”
Cassian launched into the story—how he’d met you first, how you and Azriel had danced around each other like wary predators until the bond had finally snapped into place one fateful night.
“And you took your time accepting it?” Nesta asked, her sharp gaze assessing.
You nodded, voice softer. “They wanted to give me space. To process it and make sure I really wanted it before committing.”
Azriel’s thumb brushed over the back of your hand. “We knew from the start that we loved her. But we also knew that this was uncommon. We didn’t want to rush her on such a big decision.”
Cassian kissed the top of your head. “And we don’t regret a second of it.”
The warmth in their voices, the utter certainty—it made your heart swell.
Mor sighed dramatically. “That’s so romantic.”
Elain smiled. “It is.”
Nesta gave a small nod. “Indeed.”
Rhys chuckled, raising his glass. “To our new sister. And to this rare, extraordinary bond.”
Glasses clinked.
Your heart, once burdened with fear, felt lighter than ever.
Cassian squeezed your shoulder, Azriel pressed a whisper of a kiss to your temple, and you knew there was only one meaning behind the feeling in your chest, the relaxing in your shoulders. You were home.
Summary - Finding out you were pregnant should have been the best news. It's too bad you don't know which of your three mates is possibly the father, though.
Prompt - Day 3 - Secrets
Warnings - slightly hidden pregnancy trope, pregnancy, being put in a protective bubble, alcohol mentioned, slightly angsty but I know some of you are hurting from all the angst going around so it turns to Fluff quickly.
A/N - Happy @polyacotarweek day 3! I almost turned this into a Lucien x Reader x Tamlin fic before I decided to keep it with the batboys to include Starfall. There is still an urge to make a Spring Court Trouple version of this, though, so let me know. Also, I included how I imagined Rhysand discovering Feyre's pregnancy went. As much as I hate the storyline, I can see him being so emotional over a baby
💕Poly+ACOTAR Week Masterlist💕
Madja held your hand in hers as you cried. You cried from joy, from frustration, from shock, from sadness. This should have been the happiest news of your long life, but you found yourself more confused than anything.
“It is a blessing from the Mother, y/n.” She ran a hand along your cheek, “They will be overjoyed.”
The laugh you let out was bitter. “I can't even tell them who the father is.”
“Does it matter in this type of relationship? All of them will be happy. They all want a family with you, together."
To you, it mattered. It mattered so deeply that two weeks into knowing, you still had your scent glamored when your mates were home, hiding the babe from them until you thought of the perfect thing to say.
Guilt had started eating at you as you pulled away from them, lying about stress from the new play you were asked to write the symphony for. Azriel so desperately wanted a family, even if he would not admit it, and was willing to wait until after you had given his brothers their babies. Cassian wanted a daughter more than he wanted food some days. He spoke about it constantly, about how he would braid her hair and purchase her beautiful dresses. Rhys wanted every baby you two passed on the street, always stopping to say hello and get to hold the smallest members of his court. He said it was practice for when you would bless him. Son or daughter, it did not matter to him.
You felt like this was bound to disappoint two of them, a babe, but not theirs. You signed as you continued putting away the sheet music you had been composing on. "What are we going to do, little one?" You placed a hand on your stomach.
You were home alone, magic completely dropped, and so deep into organizing your next big composition, you had not noticed Rhys walking in with two glasses of champagne until they had long shattered on the floor.
“Baby,” he whispered. He fell to his knees before you, hands gripping your hips gently as his forehead rested against your lower stomach. “Baby.”
He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close to him, basking in the joy he was sending so deep down the bond that your other two mates appeared. Cassian, always with weapons in hand, dropped them instantly. He didn't even care as they joined the scatter glass and champagne on the floor. He was at your and Rhysand's side instantly, kissing you deeply before kneeling next to Rhys and kissing the side of you stomach. Azriel had frozen, eyes wide and staring at you. “You're sure?”
All Rhys could do was nod, whispering again, “Baby. We're having a baby."
Dinner was a celebration just the four of you. The males all too happily planning out a nursery. You pushed the food around your plate, feeling too guilty to enjoy the meal Cassian had made you all. “Y/n, what's wrong?” Azriel pulled you to him. “Is it the babe? Do you need to lay down?”
You felt tears begin to fall as the guilt consumed you. “I don't know which one of you is the father.”
You waited. Waited for the 3 of them to fight, to lay claim to the babe, but Cassian and Rhys just both looked at Azriel and then you. “It is technically Azriel's,” the High Lord spoke slowly. “You smell like him. But it is also mine. Also, Cassian's. The babe is ours. We all are it's father.”
“But-”
“Sweetheart,” Cassian took your hand. “We knew once this bond happened, there was a chance you would get pregnant, and we wouldn't know who fathered the baby until the scent kicked in.. We do not want to be fathers, though. We want to be dads. We love you and the little babe, regardless of you smelling like Azriel.”
Azriel was nuzzled into you. “We accepted a long time ago that everything you got pregnant, you would smell like only one of us, and that one of us would get more protective.” He kept scenting you. “I would have been happy if it was Rhysand's or Cassian's.”
Rhysand finally spoke again. “A babe is always a means for Celebration as well.” You groaned. “I am thinking of an announcement at Starfall? With all of our family there?”
“That's only 2 weeks for me to plan and put something together.” You were used to Rhysand giving you short deadlines for things involving your family, the rest of the Inner Circle, and the Court of Nightmares, but for all of Velaris? You held those events to such high standards, and had since Rhysand asked you to take over that duty as High Lady.
“You could keep it simple this time?” You turned slowly to Cassian, glaring as he put his hands up in surrender. “Or not. Murder hormones kicked in today. Noted."
And “simple” had no place in the description of what you had done. You had made the choice to have the Rainbow opened to the celebration, watching as guests admired every faelight enchanted to twinkle like the stars themselves, watching as every guest took their turns on the dance floor you had put temporarily into the center of the large open theater. Rhys had allowed you to spare no expense. Vendors had made countless cakes and treats, food was plenty, drinks were pouring, and the orchestra played lively music.
You were shielded in the magic bubble all three males had demanded you be put in, but it wasn't enough for Azriel, who hung behind you like a constant threat even in his finest dress clothing.
Your own dress showed the smallest curve where your child was growing, causing every guest who greeted you and High Lord to pass their congratulations unknowing of the circumstances. “Won't they all shit when they figure out Az put a baby in you first?” You slammed an elbow into Cassian's stomach, smiling at an elderly couple as they held Rhysand's hands, praising him for bringing the city all together to celebrate a Night Court tradition and such a joyous announcement.
“We are just getting some of them okay with the idea of all of us as a mated unit. Let's not cause any heart attacks, Cassian.” He nodded to your statement and held a water glass to your mouth.
“Going to be a long night, sweetheart. Let's stay hydrated.”
The music switched to a soft violin based turn, one you had composed as Starfall began. Azriel held you close as everyone's attention turned to the sky, including yours. All three of your mates had their eyes locked on you, soft smiles on their faces as they watched the childlike wonder wash over you despite years of witnessing the event. “Always so beautiful.”
“Of course you are,” Azriel whispered. “And you will look even more beautiful when you begin to show more.”
“I can't wait,” Rhysand's hand went to that small bump, “To hold our babe.”
Cassian's hand rested on Rhysand. “Our baby. The first of many.”
“We would toast you, darling, but no champagne for you,” Rhysand handed a glass to Cass and Az, then water to you. “Darling?”
“To the stars who listen,” your voice broke as tears of joy came.
“And the dreams that are answered,” they all echoed.

My first modern AU ACOTAR fic for @polysjmweek! I wanted to highlight some of the difficulties people in relationships that don't fit the traditional binary face, and some of the ways they can be overcome.
Cassian and Azriel prepare to propose to Nesta, which forces them to face the reality of trying to marry as a polyamorous couple. They end up on a walk down memory lane trying to pick out the perfect ring.
Thank you to @jellybeanjellyfishblog for giving this a quick read and being so supportive! Read the complete fic on AO3 or find a snipped below!
The bell above the boutique jewelry store door jangled sweetly as Cassian and Azriel pushed it open. Cassian felt entirely too large to be such a small room littered with delicate displays and glass tabletops. He curved his shoulder in, trying to make his frame take up less space. Azriel instantly noticed and rolled his eyes at him.
“Come on, you’re being ridiculous.”
“What if I knock something over, Az? I don’t want to break anything!” Cassian hissed in a half-whisper as Azriel pushed him further into the shop, letting the door swing shut behind them.
“Then don’t break anything, Cass!”
“But—”
Az turned on him. “No buts. We’re doing this, and we’re doing it together okay?”
Cassian couldn't help the smirk that lifted up the side of his lips. “I love it when you get bossy.”
“I know you do,” Az responded, the feral glint Cassian recognized all too well shining in his eye. “So be a good boy, don’t knock anything over, help me pick a ring, and we can get home to play.”
His breathing picked up, chest heaving as Cassian tried to control his response to Azriel using those words on him. “You can’t do that to me in public,” he said, moving his hand in front of his obviously tenting pants.
Az leaned in to press a kiss to his lips. “I can, and I will. You love it.”
“I do,” Cassian responded with a smile, his lips brushing Azriel’s as he spoke.
