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.

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.

Yes. I'd like to read them.
