It's not limited to sci-fi/fantasy, but anything around monogamy, love triangles, heteronormativity.
If humans on earth today can form a wide variety of relationships other than a man + woman nuclear family, so can aliens and such living in completely different cultures.
"I love Alex and Bryan how can I choose just one??" You don't have to. Stop it.
I recently read a fantasy novel called Silver Under Nightfall that has to be one of the first proper poly novels I've ever seen
The main character has an obvious attraction to a woman, and a confused lust for her husband. Both the husband and wife are into the main character. It's not high literature but I had a blast reading it anyway
Iron Widow is decent for this too if you like YA fantasy. Bonus for a Chinese setting.
