So someone asked for recs and…that lead me to this. The Magicians is an incredibly poly-ship-friendly show, if you ask me. But it can be hard to find the good multi-person fics in among all the, well, queliot.
Assume everything here is Explicit unless otherwise stated.
Take You There by achray - Margo/Quentin/Eliot - Set in an AU Fillory, Quentin is a plaything of Queen Margo and King Eliot. This is a scorchingly hot scene in which Quentin mostly watches while Margo doms and tops Eliot, while they help Q work out how he feels about d/s type kink. Seriously, blazingly hot.
until the hour of separation by @kaci3PO- Quentin/Arielle/Eliot - No smut in this one, and it’s set post 3x05 (but isn’t compliant with 4x05.) However it’s a lovely depiction of a fully poly Quentin/Arielle/Eliot triad and how the boys deal with the aftermath of their memories in its wake.
merrier the more by @oneprotagonistshort - Quentin/Fen/Eliot - Fen and Eliot request Quentin join them in bed and then order him around a lot. It’s super hot, and made me ask ‘hey, why isn’t this ship more of a thing?’
Real Hunger Has a Real Taste by celestialskiff - Margo/Eliot/Quentin - Eliot and Margo order Quentin around. A lovely established d/s relationship from Queliot, as well as the deep love with Margo and El and very hot oral sex. Very soft all around and full of sappy feelings as well as hot smut.
You and You and Me by @ohmarqueliot - Quentin/Alice/Eliot - Set post S4, but not compliant with the finale, this seeks to resolve Quentin’s romantic situation into a functioning poly relationship. It’s soft and slow and not explicit, but very comforting.
The Main Event by @oneeyeddestroyer - Margo/Quentin/Eliot - Very heavy on the smut and light on the plot, but OH what smut. Margo and Eliot seducing Quentin fairly early in their acquaintance, tying him up and having their way with him. Margo and Eliot are a wonderfully sexy, confident, in-sync duo in this and Quentin is very lucky.
Other People by @shmazarov - Margo/Quentin/Eliot - A bunch of little smutty vignettes, in which Margo and Eliot definitely don’t catch feelings for the boy they’ve brought into their bed.
Just got my recorded message from Hale in my email and I’m… wrecked. Sorry about the weird format, the original file was a little too big for tumblr. Anyway, here is Hale reading Eliot’s letter to Quentin from the book. If you need me I’ll just be over here Going Through It for the remainder of my life………
