I had so much fun writing “Silentium” that now I want to write all the OT3s. Um, at least theoretically. (No, my plans don't currently include any more Eagle OT3 fic. I am actually kind of dry on Eagle stories altogether.)
Dostana
Oh my god, you guys, have I raved to you recently about how you all should watch Dostana? Not recently enough! Really, you just need to start out by watching this video, wherein Sam and Neha and Kunal are bestest best friends ever:
You see! You see! Doesn’t that just scream OT3? There's a pillow fight, for goodness' sake! And there are two other videos I could have picked to show the exact same thing.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I know enough about Indian culture to really do them justice – although they’re technically living in Miami, so maybe…I KNOW. I could send them to Disney World! All fics are better with Disney World! In the movie both boys take Neha on the awesomest date ever (separately, because they have not yet realized that they are destined to be an OT3), and she could reciprocate by taking them to Disney and setting up something amazing…
No, I still think it’s probably not the best idea. But I will request Dostana fic for Yuletide, and continue to live in hope!
Downton Abbey
You know what’s even better than Sybil/Branson? Sybil/Gwen/Branson! I saw this picture by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
motetus, and I so want to write that, except the timing would be difficult, given Branson doesn’t tell Sybil about his feelings till two years after Gwen leaves.
It could be an AU, of course, but in this case that feels a bit like cheating somehow. So, let’s see. It could be...pre-OT3! Gwen and Sybil and Branson being adorable! Maybe Sybil requests the car for something, but secretly it’s to get Gwen to an interview, and after the interview the car breaks down and there’s a picnic interlude…
Possibly Gwen and Branson conspired? The car “broke down” so they could have a picnic that Gwen packed. Sybil is used to things appearing when they’re needed, she may not even question it. There could be tiny sandwiches! It would be highly adorable!
Protector of the Small
This one is allcarmarthen’s fault. I was bemoaning the tragic fact that Kel and Neal could never be together, even though I have wanted them to be ever since Page, because I couldn’t bear to break Neal up from Yuki, and she was all, “Duh, OT3!”
OH MY HEART. Why didn't I think of that?
Well, probably because there are some massive logistical problems. Both Kel and Neal (in very different ways) are the soul of honor, and Kel in particular would never, ever admit to the dishonorable emotion of lusting after a married person...
Maybe they get drunk at Midwinter and they’re talking about something emotional and they kiss, and then they are both all “NOOOOOOOOO” and feel so guilty that they tell Yuki and she is like, “So? I am, after all, very fond of you both...”
I’m in the process of rereading PotS now; I’ll have to see if this chimes with Yuki’s characterization when I get to Squire. I do recall that the Yamanis are A-okay with same-sex attraction, though, so that’s one hurdle jumped.
Singin’ in the Rain
I must confess, I don’t have an idea for any particular story here; I’ve mostly included it so I could rec And Write that Symphony, which I read ages ago and adored – it was the first OT3 fic I read – and could never find it again; but now it’s on AO3!
This is just an abbreviated list. Any other OT3s I should absolutely consider?
