Morrigan sleeps at the town house after a night out and as she's trying to sneak out, she learns a secret about four people she never expected to find together.
AKA: Mor and Rhys hear some HOT GOSS because they're SNOOPS.
Have some cousin bonding and a secret polycule for @polyacotarweek day 3. Read a snippet below the cut, or the full fic on AO3 here!
Morrigan walked down the steps of Rhys’s Velaris town house quietly. After a rowdy night out at Rita’s she’d decided to sleep here since it was closest to the bar. What she’d forgotten in her drunken state was that Eris was visiting the Night Court today, and Rhysand had put him up in the town house.
She winced as she placed some weight on the creaky stair a few steps down, containing her sigh of relief when, for once, it didn’t make a sound. As Morrigan reached the halfway point on the stairs, she heard a voice that made her suddenly stop.
“Come on, Eris. You’ve gotta work with us here.”
Cassian’s voice had Morrigan’s heart pounding. Why was he here? What could he possibly need with Autumn Court’s heir?
Eris’s scoff wafted up the stairs, sharp even from where Morrigan hunched almost a floor above. “I’m pretty sure I’m already doing that, you brute. Rhysand doesn’t know truly why I’m here because you three didn’t want to tell him yet.”
This was all too much for Morrigan and her head began to spin. She sat down on the stairs as quietly as possibly and reached out to her cousin with her mind.
What’s wrong, Mor? Rhys responded almost instantly, sensing her panicked state.
Get to the town house. Eris is here with Cass and two other people. They’re planning something they’re specifically keeping from you and I don’t know what it is.
Rhys’s reply was clipped and hard, Where are you exactly?
On that creaky step. They’re down in the living room so winnow to the second floor and walk down to meet me.
Moments later, Rhysand was silently making his way down the steps to sit beside Morrigan. Have they said anything else? Rhys asked in her mind, cocking his head toward the living room to try and hear the people shuffling around. Mor shook her head, remaining silent as they listened in on the conversation below.

Hello loves! Here on WIP Wednesday to share a snippet of the fic I'm working on for Day 3: Secrets of @polyacotarweek!!
So excited for this event, and I can't wait for you all to see what i've been working on! In the mean time, here's a snack below the cut to tide you over.
Morrigan walked down the steps of the Townhome quietly. After a rowdy night out at Rita’s she’d decided to sleep here, since it was closest to the bar. What she’d forgotten in her drunken state was that Eris was visiting the Night Court today, and Rhysand had given him a room here.
She winced as she placed some weight on the creaky stair a few steps down, containing her sigh of relief when, for once, it didn’t make a sound. As Morrigan reached the halfway point on the stairs, she heard a voice that had her stop suddenly.
“Come on, Eris. You’ve gotta work with us here.”
Cassian’s voice had Morrigan’s heart pounding. Why was he here? What could he possibly need with Autumn Court’s heir?
Eris's scoff wafted up the stairs, sharp even after the traveled distance. “I’m pretty sure I’m already doing that, you brute. Rhysand doesn’t know truly why I’m here because *you* three didn’t want to tell him yet.”
This was all too much for Morrigan and her head began to spin. She sat down on the stairs as quietly as possibly and reached out to her cousin with her mind.
What’s wrong, Mor? Rhys responded almost instantly, sensing her panicked state.
Get to the Townhome. Eris is here with Cass and two other people. They’re planning something they’re keeping from you and I don’t know what it is.
Curious what Cassian and Eris are planning? Or who the other two people in the room are? Stay tuned for Day 3: Secrets of Poly+ ACOTAR week on 4/9!
