Dear Holly Poly Creator,
Thanks for signing up with one of the same fandoms as me!
I'm happy to receive fanworks of any rating. I'd love some NSFW art, if that's something you're interested in drawing/painting. If you're a vidder, I'm hoping you'll have bunnies for these ships already that you can work on, I'm sorry, I don't have any song suggestions. My favourite bands are Coldplay and The National, in case that helps.

Do Not Want: Character death, BDSM, Dom/sub
Person of Interest
Possible works to podfic: one | two | three
Harold/John/Root/Shaw
It's difficult to even begin to express how much I love all of these characters and their relationships with each other. Canon often deliberately highlights parallels between the two main ships, which just shows how complementary and good for one another they all are. I feel like you could make something very profound about humanity and loneliness and found family and connections to the world...and I would eat that up with a spoon.
All the subway station shagging though? I also need that. I think this OT4 can really fly in Season 4 and beyond (go AU and fix things to your heart's content), but if you can make it happen earlier, I'm all ears. If you're comfortable writing them, please don't feel you need to shy away from the Harold/Root, John/Root, John/Shaw branches of the foursome - I am dying to read those.
Joss/Harold/John
Almost any time in S1/2/3: Two of them get together and the third feels left out? For all their means of communication, these characters struggle to say things out loud.
Plus, there are a lot of opportunities for getting together as a result of hurt/comfort, with this OT3. One of my favourites is the 2x12/2x13 arc, where Joss and Harold work together to free John from Rikers, and which ends up with Carter painfully bruised from a car accident and John having to be carefully extricated from a bomb vest. There's so much emotional fallout to be unpacked from these episodes. Joss pretending to interrogate John while also potentially falling in love with him. And of course the painfully shippy Harold/John rooftop scene. I really need more Finch&/Carter scenes.
Or, if you're an artist, draw them for me. Relieved group hugs?
Carter/Elias/Anthony
After Carter saves Elias in Season 2, they start having secret meetings and she almost takes Anthony's place at the table, as it were. I'd like to see Elias reassuring a slightly jealous Anthony of his unchanging importance in his life? Anthony is openly very respectful of Carter, which is fascinating to me. How does she see the two of them in return?
Carter/Shaw/Zoe
Such competent, fierce, and stunningly gorgeous ladies! Whether they geek out over their favourite weapons, punch bad guys in the face, or take them down very quietly by pulling strings behind the scenes...I'd love anything you can come up with for these three. Obviously 3x03 Lady Killer is the goldmine for their interactions, but are there any missing scenes in other episodes to delve into? Carter/Zoe or Shaw/Zoe already had a thing, while Shaw/Carter is taking longer to happen because Shaw is so obviously enjoying her crush?
The Machine/Root/Shaw
Two words: Praise. Kink. Whether it's Root calling Shaw 'my beautiful girl' (5x04), or the Machine encouraging Root to perform greater stunts of daring superhero-ness, or Root's totally blatant canon worship of the Machine and all She's capable of...I want it all. Shaw praising the Machine is less likely but would rock Root's world, and we know how highly the Machine regards Shaw from when she drew a parallel between her and Actual Queen chess pieces. Most powerful piece on the board. Shaw might only admit out loud that everything Root does is 'hot' rather than wax lyrical about her talents and genius...but maybe she can work on that? :)
Black Sails
Possible works to podfic: one | two
Miranda/Flint/Hamilton
London era. The way their backstory unfolded on the show was A+++ and I'd love more. (Maybe Thomas does a painting of his loves?)
Flint/Hamilton/Silver | Flint/Madi/Silver | Flint/Hamilton/Madi/Silver
These people are so entwined, they all need each other so much! What ever way you want to bend canon to make it happen, please do. (Or draw them all happy and cuddled together.)
Anne/Jack/Max
Amazing, amazing OT3. I felt really sad for Jack when he walked in on them and had to accept it...but Anne is so vulnerable at that point in time and it's lskdlskjd complicated. If you want to work towards maybe resolving that, great, or if you want to write an AU where it's all different circumstances, also great.
Billy/Flint/Silver
I just. They're all so handsome? Something to do with the way Silver upsets the order of things, those early days on the ship? Maybe Billy/Flint are already secretly a thing when he arrives.
Eleanor/Jack/Charles
I hadn't thought about this before I saw it in the tagset but yes. Maybe Charles comes looking for Eleanor, she's unavailable for some business reason but Jack is there being his usual talkative self...and when she returns things are happening? Or...Eleanor wondering how to distract Charles from fighting a war against Flint...give him this guy who's desperate to be a captain? (That would only work for like five minutes but hey she tried.)
Doctor Who
Possible works to podfic: one | two
Nine/Jack/Rose
Ahhhh, Series One. Really good times. Adventures! The Doctor gets handcuffed to things without his shirt on for some reason! Jack is naked all the time! Rose is impatient for dancing! I have no specific prompts, but please let them have so much fun and laughter, they deserve it.
Ten/Jack/Rose
I love the episode Utopia, where Jack and Ten meet again and talk about Rose. It breaks my heart that the Doctor cannot accept Jack's immortality even though it's a gift that Rose gave him. Give me more reminiscing and comfort.
Or failing that, maybe rewatch Stolen Earth/Journey's End? I remember all the Ten/Rose hugging and Jack's salute when he leaves with Martha and Mickey...but do they have time for a quiet moment all three of them? If they don't, make one up. <3
iZombie
(I'm not caught up with S4, I've seen 1-3)
Ravi/Major/Liv
This canon would lend itself especially to fanart, I'd imagine? I already have all the Liv/Major and Major/Ravi feels, so combining those into an OT3 would be lovely. For fic, maybe tell me more about the tear-stained letter Major wrote to Ravi in 3x06 when he thought he was going to lose his memory? Could that be the start of the three of them getting together?
Sense8
Wolfgang/Will/Lito | Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan | Sun/Amanita/Nomi | Hernando/Lito/Daniela
Gosh this show was a polyshipper's absolute dream? Anything, anything at all that's fluffy and warm for any of these tags. They all make me think of sunshine and cuddle piles and working out, helping each other be comfortable in their bodies and minds.
Shadowhunters
I adore this show. When Season 3a aired I kept impatiently refreshing Netflix each week for the new episode. Waiting for more is hard!
Magnus/Alec/Jace
Alec pining for Jace makes me so happy and sad. Malec is already total perfection, but if there's a way to build more of a bond between Magnus and Jace, and Jace were less fixated on Clary (I'm an indecisive multishipper, I ship Clizzy and Clace) and could actually notice his parabatai, omg, I think this OT3 could be next level awesomeness.
Or instead of an AU from S1, maybe extrapolate from 3x10, after Magnus returns from Edom, having saved Jace?
Clary/Simon/Jace | Simon/Maia/Jace
I LOVED the super awkward double date where they all let slip they have history with each other's current partners! You could use that as a catalyst. If you're writing Simon/Maia/Jace, I'd be over the moon with background Clary/Izzy (totally optional).
