let’s start with 1-5 for all the polycules! -@vacantgodling

This is gonna be a long one lol. But first, a little note on these polycules for those who don't know: they're legally mandated for the royal family (Kiatcarmen, Marcus, and Minaya) and have at least one of each sapient species in them. That's why Jimmy was replaced in Kiatcarmen's polycule when he died, whereas in an organic polycule, that likely would not happen.

1 - How many members are in the polycule? How are they related to each other? Feel free to draw a flow chart.

Kiatcarmen: there have only ever been five at one time. But those members have shifted twice, when existing members died. Kiatcarmen and Ashmalo are Marcus and Minaya's parents.

First set of members:

Second set of members:

Third (current) set of members:

Marcus: seven, technically. It remains to be seen whether Heith will stick around. With the exception of Heith, it's safe to assume they're all friends. Gren only knows OF Heith, since Marcus met her on another planet. Yera and Hossan recently had a baby. Also they don't actually have non-cow ears I just couldn't rally myself to make updated picrews for this post.

Minaya: six, all pretty much friends. Dawn is currently pregnant with Arbores's baby. Lanya is permanently annoyed with Arbores because his state of being is sort of to just disappear into the woods and not engage that much with the administrative/royalty things he, Minaya, and Dawn manage.

This isn't all the existent relationships in these polycules but it is all the most notable ones.

2 - Did the relationship start polyamorous, or was it a monogamous relationship that eventually opened?

All three of these started as technically polyamorous relationships, though they grew little by little. But if you look past the legal requirement it's a little more complicated. Kiatcarmen's polycule has always been a mess, and to be honest she would have been just fine having just Jimmy.

Yera and Hossan in Marcus's polycule started out as a functionally closed couple within the whole (they don't actually restrict each other to this but that was how it was anyway) but a couple years in, Marcus married Gren and Gren became besties with Yera. Over time this morphed into Gren being their third partner, but Gren is still very mobile between the different members and divisions of the polycule.

Minaya's polycule, once completed, was functionally three parallel couples (Minaya and Lanya, Dawn and Arbores, and Lucy and Ramona) until Ramona fessed up about her crush on Lanya and those two couples merged into something like a quad.

3 - If it started monogamous, how did the process of opening the relationship go?

Marcus: for a while it wasn't clear whether Yera and Hossan's relationship was going to open - maybe Yera just had a new fuckbuddy. But Gren and Hossan spent a lot of time together incidentally, and Gren also wanted to be friends with him too, and over time Gren just sort of got absorbed into their dynamic. There was a little jealousy they had to work out (Hossan was very used to being Yera's singular obsession), and there was a conversation at some point, though, when Hossan realized that he no longer thought of Gren as a separate external addition. He still doesn't think of himself as polyam but considers Gren in the same breath as Yera.

Minaya: opening her and Lanya's relationship felt easy. For a while, though, it was pretty much just sexual. That was easiest for everybody, especially with Lucy and Ramona being away for training and competition a lot. But over time it's developed into a more romantic dynamic, which has been fairly smooth, despite Lucy's defensiveness and Lanya's counter-defensiveness. There is some uncertainty about how things will change once Minaya ascends the throne, though.

4 - Are there any mono-poly relationships in the polycule?

Kiatcarmen: sort of. Despite having a sexual and quasi-romantic relationship with Pirianus the only person she's ever considered her partner is Jimmy, so in essence she has always been the monogamous person connected to her own polycule through her very popular spouse.

Marcus: no, but only because Heith isn't monogamous.

Minaya: Lucy teeters on the edge here. She's never outright decided she's monogamous, but she also doesn't have a lot of patience for maintaining multiple romantic partnerships.

5 - What “shape” is the polycule? A triad, a “V”, a straight line of metamours, or incomprehensible?

Kiatcarmen: currently, a cul-de-sac. Kiatcarmen only considers Pirianus anything close to a partner, Pirianus has complicated relationships with her and Thade, and Thade, Caladea, and Orvi are all just vibing with each other. In other words: almost entirely metamours and meta-metamours from Kiatcarmen's perspective, and something resembling a cohesive whole from Thade's.

Marcus: in Marcus's absence, it became kind of a bow tie, with Gren in the middle between Yera & Hossan and Umedes & Pali, and Marcus and Heith as a separate island. Upon his return, it expands into more of an anglerfish - Gren is still the point of connection between Yera & Hossan and Umedes & Pali, but Marcus has joined Umedes and Pali, and also has a connection to Heith.

Minaya: it's more or less a quad (Minaya, Lanya, Ramona, Lucy) with an orbiting couple (Dawn and Arbores).

“Don’t tell me you’re afraid of some flowers and glitter,” Frank couldn’t resist teasing the other as they walked past some of the crafting stalls. “What about the painting stall? Maybe you’re secretly a talented artist and you’ve been hiding it from me this whole time?”

Of course I pay. Just as any legally alive and well adult has to do.

James had grabbed two pumpkin beers, hoping to share one with any of the handful of people he actually knew in this town. Being from New York, it didn't both him much to not recognize the faces around him, but it was still nice to have some connection. Spotting a coworker, he moved closer and let out a loud snort as he got a better look at the costume they were sporting. "If that's what I think it is, I give ya props for creativity." He holds out one of the beers to Marcus.

After her vampiric transformation Keira still did cardio work outs until Marcus showed up while she was doing one & just said. “Kid. Your heart doesn’t beat anymore.” & left while she stopped running. He is the Funniest Vampire Father On The Planet.

"Two coins, if you let me eat that pretty ass."

"Two coins?" He smirked, quirking a brow at Marcus. "No one's offered two coins to do something to me," Nev couldn't say no to that, not when it involved the other man pleasing him. With that he turned around, hands unfastening his belt buckle before pushing his pants down. Nev looked back over his shoulder at Marcus. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Row wasn't having a good day. Finn Winchester was on trial for Nikolas's attempted murder (and God he wished it hadn't just been attempted), everyone was on high alert which meant he hadn't left the Undercroft much and when he had it had offered no opportunities for any time off in the castle. Seth was AWOL somewhere or possibly only a floor away, Row couldn't exactly call his friend, and he felt like he was about to rip out of his own skin at the need to escape the walls of the castle. One hour a day wasn't enough. He just wanted to touch fucking grass on his own.

There was a full moon in two days. Time was, that would've been a reason to hide as far back into the alligator reserve as possible to avoid accidentally killing anyone, but now thanks to his collar he didn't have to shift into a wolf. Only his body didn't seem to know that cuz he still FELT like he was going to. And he wanted OUT.

"Fucking Christ, I could burn this fucking place to the ground."

Open to f, 25+ Verse: Historical Plot: Our muses are engaged, and Marcus overheard several rumors of your muse ‘gallivanting’ at parties unbecoming of her position behind his back. It could be true or could be false.

"You are my wife!" Marcus snapped as he roughly upturned the dining table between them, sending their breakfast flying and crashing onto the floor. In an instant, the space between them disappeared as the prince loomed over his betrothed, grabbed the armrests on either side of her with a white-knuckled grip, and dragged her seat closer with a harsh screech. "If not yet by law, you are my wife in practice, so you will honor me. You will honor me in the way a wife is required to honor a husband-in the way a queen is required to honor her king! I am done. Do you hear me?! I am done being made a fool of this court by your antics!"

   Nathan was outside the church, raking leaves as they were now falling from the trees, and winter was getting ready to sweep into the town. He was sure he was going to have to invest into a good shovel, and lots of salt so no one slipped outside the church. Despite the cool air, Nathan was working up quite the sweat and his shirt was starting to cling to his body. So he peeled it off his body, tossing it aside and going about the rest of his work around the castle grounds. When he was done, he wiped his forehead with the back of his arm, and then as he was heading in stopped and smiled at the familiar face. 

“Marcus! Is there anything I can do to help you today.” Looking down he forgot he was topless, his chest hair sweaty and sticking to his pecs, this many tattoos on display. “Forgive my indecency I was out here working, and got rather sticky. Thinking I’m going to need a shower, once I get back home.”

Standing, Asalun, & Associates

An AOM &c. AU that nobody asked for, so I'm delivering!

This is me taking Mystery Incorporated, Dead End: Paranormal Park, Hilda, Mob Psycho 100, and let's be honest, the whole ghost segment of The Sword Interval that lives rent-free in my mind into one vibeful concept: Horatio and Marcus run a paranormal investigation business.

Due to all of their proposed names being terrible puns or just not catchy, they gave up and called it Standing & Asalun. They run it out of what is Horatio's Flowers in AOM, and they do extremely lackluster business. However, Celia thinks it's the most delightful fucking thing and inserted herself into the investigation so much that they essentially hired her. She still has a day job, like Marcus, and unlike Horatio MyOwnBoss Standing. Eventually Allison joined in, and even if they would hire him he doesn't actually want the job, so he's technically a contractor. Still, the addition of another regular meant that they finally felt like they had to change the name to Standing, Asalun, & Associates.

Season One

Season one is the alternate story to AOM and begins with things going poorly as usual - they're not actually that bad at their job, but they have a hard time finding people who actually need paranormal things investigated, or even stuff they can put on their video channel - until Sid blows into town, with his parents not far behind. Horatio is instantly convinced that something is Off. No one else agrees - obviously Sid is just having a bad time and is also sixteen years older than when they last saw him. Horatio is ready to acknowledge that he was just too hungry for a lead when Sid starts having dreams that are very clearly not normal weird but paranormal weird. On an island that seems to have nothing paranormal going on, there's nowhere they could possibly be coming from...unless Sid's recently arrived parents have something to do with it. But they're not even witches, let alone known to be capable of whatever this is. So why do they seem to make the dreams worse but their muddy message clearer? SAA - but especially Horatio and the newest associate, Sid - will stop at nothing to find out.

There was something to be said about being stuck in a small space, in heat, with someone he didn’t know. As much as it would have bothered him if he were in his right state of mind, right now it was driving him nuts. Why did he leave the suite, knowing he needed to stretch out his legs and give the two he lived with some down time. He was leaning up against the wall as he looked over the taller male, holding on tightly to his arms as he tried to keep himself from pouncing. Almost. “You going to just stand there or are you going to fuck me?” There was no time to be discreet, his raging hardon did not have the patience for that right now. The dragon would shift on his spot, waiting on the other to decide if he wanted it or not. He’d be as patient as he could, though that was wearing very thin as the time ticked on.

Dimensional Tumble

At first, Marcus had been grateful for stumbling through that portal. It had helped him escape the bounty hunters sent by his family. All to purge him of the dark arts he preferred to practice. However, it didn’t take long to realize he’d been called here. An inter dimensional academy that existed beyond time and space. To instruct those called here in whatever deemed necessary for him. And he couldn’t leave until the academy decided he was ready.

Marcus sighed as he looked at his fairly intimidating instructor. “I’m not interested in commanding other’s souls or bringing suffering and whatnot. I just want the power to protect myself.” He’d never killed. Hell, most of the time he just used his own blood for dark spells and whatnot.
