Love Triangles... Oh my

[fajrdrako]

From fannish5: List your five favorite love triangles.

1. Jack/Nine/Rose (Doctor Who)
   
2. Jack/John/Ianto (Torchwood)
   
3. Jack/Ten/Martha (with a tip of the hat to Jack/Martha/Tom, but we hardly know Tom, which I think is a pity)(Doctor Who)
   
4. Alexander/Bagoas/Hephaesteon in the Mary Renault novel The Persian Boy
   
5. Eugene Wrayburn/Lizzie Hexham/Bradley Headstone in Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens

And if I could have a #6 on the list, it would be Jack/Ianto/Gwen in Torchwood.

I just recently read a Jack/Ianto/Gwen story - it was pretty hot! (The Stars are Projectors (http://nightanddaze.livejournal.com/89848.html))

I also like Jack/Ianto/Tosh (What are you doing New Year's Eve? (http://community.livejournal.com/jackxianto/71425.html) which is a sequel to the Jack/Ianto story Blame it on the Mistletoe (http://community.livejournal.com/jackxianto/23778.html))

So with you on the first two, but 3 just doesn't grab me. The others are unknowns to me I'm afraid. I shall post my own I think...

Well... Jack/Ten is problematic, and Ten rejected Martha's love as much as he did Jack's. The situation is either untenable or unresolved: I'd like to think of a way it could play out differently, but it doesn't look as if that will happen. Not with Ten.

I look forward to seeing your list.

Do you have any in the Jossverse? Just out of curiosity, not our of obsessive annoyingness.

What a fascinating question. The easy answer:

1. Angel/Spike/Drusilla
2. Spike/Angel/Buffy
3. Buffy/Willow/Faith
4. Wesley/Giles/Buffy - not in terms of romance or sex, but of Wesley and Giles have a rivalry for the allegiance of the Slayer and, by extention, of her group.
5. Buffy/Willow/Xander, which tends to shift all the time.

Are those coherent answers? If I take more time to think, I might come up with better ones.

I am here trying to be canonical - in terms of fic and speculation, I could come up with a few dozen more.

I am tempted to say Giles/Ethan/Duty.

*Actually uttered a sigh out loud*

But yeah, ten thousand fics in that one.

ten thousand fics in that one

Yes. I'd like to read them.
