Hee. Well, not hee at your Wes!pain, because I love the A/W and a grieve the Wes loss too. But hee at the way your issue with threesoming them is the exact opposite of my issue with threesoming them. Almost every writer I've ever seen 3x them, aside from [livejournal.com profile] jess79, has done so from the Angel/Wes side, where adding Spike in suddenly makes sense as an OT3 for them, but if you ask them to limit it to one pairing, they'd admit it's A/W. And that makes me protective of Spike.

It's shhh an open secret in fandom that I'm an S/X shipper (shh! I said shhh!) but when I can't get that (and let's face it canonwise and vidwise there's not much left to go on at the end of the day) I want Spike to be happy somewhere, and not playing third wheel to anyone in the sense of "Oh yeah, you, I've got this old family thing with, and the sex is fun, but Wesley has my heart." "Yeah, ok, that's cool, I'll just be over here sucking you or possibly him off and ignoring the fact that my one dream in unlife (under all the posturing crap) is to come first and best with somebody who loves me."

Thus I am utterly cool with A/W, and with A/S, but A/W/S stories tread a really thin line with me, and usually no matter how much I love them, even with the very good ones, I end up aching for Spike, and resentful of Wes.
