Auction Spotlights
In order to highlight the diversity of the Marvel multiverse and make it easier to find auctions that feature poly relationships, characters of color and female characters, and relationships with those characters, we have the following auction spotlight categories:
Poly | Features POC | Femslash | Women (non-F/F)
You can click on the links in each section to see all the auctions for that category and/or use search and filters to narrow down the list even further! To see specific characters/relationships, check out our tag list.
Poly
The “Everyone is Poly Because Avengers” tag has around 815 works on AO3, and we know that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
We have 74 auctions offering a variety of poly ships this year, both the ones that usually get attention like Bucky/Steve/Tony but rarer ships like Jean/Logan/Scott, Clint/Laura/Natasha, and Darcy/Monica/Jimmy as well. If you’re into poly ships, make sure to browse these auctions and put them on your watchlist.
Never really looked into poly ships before but willing to dip your toes into the pool? If this is the first time you’ve heard of some ships, consider bidding on a creator and letting them show you what they love about their preferred poly ship(s).
If your favorite poly ship isn’t specifically on offer this year, don’t worry. You can always search “Character Name/Any” on our auction site to find creators who are open to offering any ship that includes a certain character. Another option is to search for people offering “any ship” or “any gen and ship” for fandoms. Remember to double check whether creators are willing to create for a poly ship before you bid on them.
Features POC
Fandom is all about creating a world in a way you want it to exist, whether that’s exploring characters’ genders and sexualities or creating works that bring characters of color and their experiences to the fore. The Marvel fandom is made up of people from all over the globe and all different racial and ethnic groups, and we also have characters who reflect that diversity.
This year, we have 107 incredible auctions offering works for characters of color across the Marvel multiverse who deserve to be celebrated. Whether you’re looking for fanworks that center on T’Challa, Rhodey, Xialing, America Chavez, Dani Moonstar, or one of many other characters of color, these creators can help make your dreams come true!
If your favorite character or relationship of color isn’t specifically on offer this year, don’t worry. You can always search “Character Name-centric” on our auction site to find creators who are open to offering works featuring that character only and/or any platonic relationship featuring that character (the creator’s work description will indicate if it’s for a solo character or a relationship—or both). To find creators who are up for offering any romantic relationship with that character, search “Character Name/Any.” Another option is to search for people offering “any gen,” “any ship,” or “any gen and ship” for fandoms, e.g., Black Panther fandom any gen and ship. Remember to double check whether creators are willing to create for a character or relationship before you bid on them!
Femslash
Does your heart belong to a femslash ship? Do you want to see more fanworks about women in love? Then these 35 femslash auctions are for you!
Don’t see your F/F OTP specifically on offer this year? You can always search “Character Name/Any” on our auction site to find creators who are open to offering any romantic relationship that includes a certain character. Another option is to search for people offering “any ship” or “any gen and ship” for fandoms, e.g., Captain Marvel fandom any gen and ship. Remember to double check whether creators are willing to create for a character or relationship before you bid on them!
If you want to see even more women-centric works, see the section below.
Women (non-F/F)
Who runs the world? Girls. And this year, Marvel Trumps Hate has plenty of fantastic auctions focused on female characters!
Are there female characters, friendships featuring women, or F/M ships you really want to read more fic for?
Are you craving more art of your favorite Marvel ladies?
Do you want to see more awesome female content within the Marvel fandom?
This year, MTH has 112 unique auctions offering an assortment of women-centric works for romantic (F/M) and gen/platonic (F&F and F&M) relationships as well as works focusing on solo female characters. You can find anything from popular ships to rarer character combinations, so make sure to thoroughly browse their auctions.

If your favorite female character or relationship isn’t specifically on offer this year, don’t worry. You can always search “Character Name/Any” on our auction site to find creators who are open to offering any romantic relationship that includes a certain character. If you want to look for creators offering works for solo characters or any platonic relationship for specific characters, search “Character Name-centric.” The work description will elaborate whether the auction is for a solo character or a relationship—or both.
Last but not least, you can search for people offering “any gen,” “any ship,” or “any gen and ship” for fandoms, e.g., Captain Marvel fandom any gen and ship. Remember to double check whether creators are willing to create for a character or relationship before you bid on them!
