This addresses one of the issues that I often have with threesomes, namely that I think there's that danger of someone being the odd man out. What that means, though, is that maybe it can take some of the pressure off - different people are there for different reasons. This is just lovely, really.

So true! There are both aspects - everyone having someone to share things with without it all resting on one shoulder - and the feeling of being left out (even if one decides to leave oneself out of the game for a moment).

Thank you for the feedback!

I just love the three of them together. And how they get over themselves after indulging in small moments of self pitty. Also, no complaints about this being longer than it was supposed to be. Long is good...long means there is more brilliantness to read : )

Everyone feels a little self-pitying once in a while but they all do their best to stay out of it :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

(And ICON LOVE! :)

I love what this interlude (yes, it's exactly the right word for it *g*) gives to the rest of the series, and the glimpses you give of each man's insecurities, the bonds shared between the various couplings and while it may sound strange, I can't help but feel that the mutual hints of jealousy, made self-aware and kept in check by each other, really strike a beautiful balance in the relationship all three of them share. None of them is ever truly left out when everyone has an inkling of what that loneliness feels like, and I think that last scene of Pike's regret being openly acknowledged by Kirk and McCoy plays that out in perfect, fleeting detail.

Thanks so much for continuing this series, it made the perfect end to my long weekend. :D

Thank you so much! They're human, but they're also cool and self-reflective and willing to work for what they want.

.So.In.Love.With.Them. Sigh :)

I loved this look into their psyches and it rings so perfectly true. Being in a relationship with one person can bring out insecurities but with two? There have to be times when they'd feel like this, feel left out, excluded, not as important.

I especially loved the look in Jim's head because it was so unexpected and at the same time rings so true. It surprised me that he wanted Pike so strongly from the beginning but at the same time it makes so much sense. So does the fact that it's not the sex that bothers him, it's the caring

This is one of my favorite parts in this series--and of course I've loved them all :)

I re-read my own series tonight to check some things, and I actually have Jim say it, namely in "Rochade". But it's easy to forget with Chris/Bones more prominent in the general setup. Jim's quite right with his analysis, he just wouldn't feel so down usually. He's catching up with Bones, and he got Chris to admit that he loves him. So - he's moving up :)

Thanks so much for your feedback!
