“We need like, magically entwined rings. Six of them. Forged together. Enchanted together. Together forever. Like we’re going to be. And I don’t think that there’s anything like that that we know about. So no marriage for now.”
Smolder scratched the back of her neck. “Actually...maybe...I know a spot?”
“You’re kidding,” Gallus said.
“I was holding off on talking about him until it was time to propose,” said Smolder. “He’s an old fart who lives in a cave on the borders of the Dragonlands. His place is kinda camouflaged to non-dragons so the professors don’t really know about it and neither do your species’ governments.”
“Well, I know what we’re doing today,” Ocellus said. "Committing crime for the sake of my five fiancees. You know, this is one of the few things that I think both Chrysalis and Thorax would be proud of me for."

Before reading:
Me: "Smaug!?
"
Also Me (channeling Smaug): "Sorry kids. A bunch of smelly short shits got here first and snagged them all. But if you can find those thieves, you can keep the rings--those things are more trouble than they're worth."
Now, onto reading....
Omniship is definitely interesting, buuuut...
You can't hide your favorite.
Very nice!
This is everything I needed in my life. This is comfort. This is safety. This is THE CUTEST FUCKING THING IVE EVER READ
I can’t even begin to comprehend how polyamorous relationships work. It just breaks my brain that people can share deep, romantic bonds with more than just one person, but despite that I just can’t get enough of this omniship. The student 6 you write have such rich chemistry with each other. There’s a special sauce in there, something I can’t put my finger on that just makes it work, and work well.
Of course, I am biased toward what Gallus and Silverstream have. They’re so adorable together! Like, damn dude. I completely love how they play off each other. I am completely satisfied and will sleep like a baby tonight having just read this. Yona and Sandbar mission sequel when?
Thank you for existing, Sem. My life would be quite a bit duller without your stories ❤️
...now after reading.
Well, my version would've been just as funny as this one, but not nearly as heartwarming and touching.
SERIOUSLY, that's a serious spoiler!! Don't peek before you read the story.
I have a thing for this! My first and favorite D&D character is a human-raised drow thief, and she uses knives. She specifically uses knives, not daggers. Mechanically identical, but her thoughts on the matter are...
"Knives aren't daggers. A dagger is a weapon. A knife is a tool. It's better to use knives than daggers."
Yo Am I the only dude who actually feel bad for Yona and Sandbar missing out the fun here
I love Ocellus's nickname of Ozzie. I wonder if she's ever bitten the head off of any birds.
This was cute and fun! As usual you tend to write them all being a bit more earthy and coarse than how I would, but it's done in a way that's pretty charming and still sweet.
I've been thinking for a while about Smolder and her relationship with her shorter-lived friends, especially Ocellus. I've been mostly inhibited from tackling it myself by the glut of stories about Spike or alicorn Twilight grappling with the same topic so that I felt it's been pretty dried out. This was nice and fresh though.
fivancees
...wait and since it's not "three fiancees and two fiances" I have to assume Sandbar and Gallus are now crossdressing and I'm very okay with this
Yak best
Go on
Ah, barely into the mid-life crisis
This is why you need more than rogues in the party
Oh she's good
Silverstream you giant goof XD

Polyamory comes with its share of difficulties but also strengths to compensate. This story is a fair depiction of just one way a polycule might work out. All having a deep love and loyalty to each other but perhaps having one you'd have a deeper connection to. Others don't have to be an interconnected web and it might look more like a ring, or a line, or a wonky Y...
When you love just ONE person so deeply and romantically, it can be difficult to imagine how polycules can possibly work because it's hard to imagine loving anyone as much as you love your significant other. But it can happen, and when it does you just have to make sure you and your partners communicate all the more to make sure the relationships (however interconnected they are or are not) work.
I definitely agree with you on your opinion of this particular polycule. It just WORKS and I love it! Galbar is my OTP among them but the omniship of the student six is my next favorite one and I adore this particular depiction.
Aww...
11053577
those fuckers shouldn't have left then
they'll get a lot of loving when they get back don't worry
11053482
it's true
11053512
THANKS JACK
THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF WHEN I WAS WRITING THE GALLSTREAM PARTS WAS IF I WAS GONNA MAKE YOU PROUD, I SURE HOPE I DID
11053515
uwu
11053541
ooooooooo
11053593
absolutely
11053628
thank you! i feel the same way about the Immortal Creature with Mortal Friends concept but felt that it was an ample thing to bring up with this story, happy it wasn't overbearing
11053722
FIVANCEES I SHOULD'VE PUT THAT IN THAT'D BE A GREAT SILVERSTREAM LINE
i think the feminine conjugation is cuter and didn't want to figure out a way to address both so i just went with the two 'e's lol
11053734
yak best
11053796
THANKS i love all shapes of polycule
this is by far my favorite student six omniship dynamic to write, though
as you said it just works
11053512
With sem reminding me of Ocellus with shy/cute smarts and your bubbliness and passion you put in your comments reminding me of Silverstream, I think you guys should crusade for your four other counterparts.
Nothing like a bit of Grand Theft Magical Item to bond over. Also, how dare Sandbar and Yona leave the other four like that.
This was adorable, and perfect. This is the true OTP.
This is quite simply too cute for me to endure for long, like shovelling sugar straight into my mouth levels of sweet. Here's some nitpicking so I avoid diabetes.
Gallus is a spacial anomaly, confirmed. Euclid has nothing on griffons.
Missed indentation.
Pretty sure there was one more, but can't find it. Anyway, that's enough of a break from the cute.
I loved it, and this is the sort of thing I'm glad we have this site for. Do keep it up.

OH GOD OH FUCK I TURNED GALLUS ELDRITCH AGAIN WHERE'S THE GRIMOIRE
thank you for spotting those errors i am mortified I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT THOUGH
11054254
How could I not enjoy it? This needs a chef's kiss. Don't be mortified, just keep being you. Oh, and keep your grimoire close by, I suppose.
Oh I love this ship! And it's a very entertaining fic. Touches on a lot of character tropes I enjoy about them, mostly just six creatures being in love and having fun!
Cute but random.
11053876
You have made me very, very proud! I wanna call this section out in particular
I absolutely love this! Gallus is the straight man of their comedy duo, and Silverstream plays him for a fool and drives him crazy in the best ways possible. This dynamic is so beautiful and you absolutely knock it out of the park
Howdy, hi!
This was super cute and heartwarming and adorable. I love how much they all bounce off of each other and how much personality each of them has. Clearly, 6-way polyamory is best ship for the young six. I love the setup and pay off in this so much. You just wrote this really believable relationship between all of them and I really find myself wanting more of it.
Thank you very much for the read. This was well worth the read.
This is already the cutest thing every ;-; Polyam relationship goals, right here.
AWWWWWWWW!
Aaand now it's sad. Smolder is gonna outlive them all <\3
Huh, you actually addressed that as an issue, love it! This is adorable, it makes me very happy.
Awww, I wanted to see them get the wings and surprise Sandbar and Yona it'd be so cute!!!
Super sweet, super cute. Perfect little resolution at the end.
Such a sweet story!!! Great job, as always!
Yeah I can see why this one's been on the featured box and popular tab for days now
it's petty good
You have this insane ability to make me care about characters I’d never want to read about otherwise.
You deserve: Small Cake (Pink)

No problem!
AWWWWW, it’s all so damn cute. Always love the way you write the interactions between these guys. There just too many cute moments to count.
Brilliant, just pure brilliance
I have questions, and I'm afraid there will be no answers.
11074455
My biggest question is how can she use pocket sand if she doesn't have pockets?
11053876
Say where DID yona and sandbar go to?
11133320
Bird land! Ornithia makes an appearance in the Season 10 comics. It's where Captain Celaeno hails from.
Ohhh, must've missed that.
I find hilarious that they complain about the school of friendship and living among ponies made them "cheesy and soft", when they literally get weapons to kill someone and steal he things, it is true what is said
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Outstanding work across the board. A wonderful balance of fluff and bloodthirst, with just enough of the immortality blues to add a bit of weight to the proceedings without making it cloying. Thank you for it.

A call from the future here, where such a franchise as "Helluva Boss" exists and where 'Ozzie' is the nickname of, excuse my language, fucking Asmodeus himself.
11390967
As the head demon of Lust, I'm pretty sure "fucking" is exactly the adjective that ought to be applied to him.
This is the epitome of be gay do crime and peak disaster bi energy. Very firm approval.
