You know what sucks? TRAGEDY SUCKS. Even (especially) in fiction, where it was completely avoidable.
... so have some OT3 not-tragedy. Possibly a prequel to "...And A Wreath Of Flowers His Crown."
Someday, I will write a true sequel to that. haha. >_>
No Crowd
Kingdom Hearts II -- end of game series/speculation; SoRiKai [NOT WORKSAFE haha]. Some implied Roxas/Axel?

With anyone else but Sora, it probably wouldn't work out this way. Since it is Sora, it does.
+++++
The events of Sora's first kiss with Riku sort of goes like this:
The kiss itself is kind of hesitant and kind of clumsy -- because Riku got really damn tall during his year world-hopping and Sora had never really managed to catch up -- but kind of warm and tingly too, starting in his stomach and spreading out to his fingers and toes. And just as Sora is getting comfortable with how he has to bend his head and how tightly Riku holds onto him, as though expecting him to disappear, he thinks, rather unexpectedly, You both suck at this.
It makes him jerk back, hard and sudden enough that Riku's teeth score a cut in his lower lip, and he spends a few seconds sucking blood, trying to figure out where the thought came from. And Riku looks at him with hollow eyes like he was just expecting that, the rejection after getting what he's quietly wished for, and Sora has to kiss him again before he can think, because he hates that look, hates it so much and is grateful when he feels Riku relax again.
No, really, he hears the voice in the back of his head say again. You both really suck at this.
And he pulls back from the kiss and says, "Roxas?"
Which makes Riku give him a quizzical look, and then he says, "Uh, Sora--"
But meanwhile Sora pulls away and smacks the sides of his head with his open palms, scowling. "No, I mean -- Roxas," he says, and points to his forehead. "Here. Um. I--"
"That's where he normally is, I'd think," Riku says, but thankfully he stays relaxed and is even smiling a little as Sora tilts his head to one side and smacks his temple, like he's trying to get water out his ear.
Stop that, he hears when he does. You're giving me a headache.
And Sora scowls. "Serves you right," he says, a little petulantly, and then just to show him, he kisses Riku again, with clumsy enthusiasm, and Roxas subsides with what sounds like an exasperated sigh that Sora chooses to ignore.
And they do figure it out better later, but that's not the first time, and that's how all the events go.
+++
The first time Sora kisses Kairi, it's actually the other way around; she tells him to close his eyes and when he does something touches his mouth so featherlight that he almost thinks he imagined it, except then he opens his eyes and saw her blushing so hard that she matched her hair.
And then she stammers an apology -- she knows that he and Riku are, well, and she doesn't want to cause trouble, just, it's lonely when they're a pair and it was supposed to be all three of them and she just -- she wanted to know how it felt --
So Sora kisses her again, and it's kind of weird because she's smaller than he is, but he's had practice now and Kairi shakes against him for a moment before she holds onto him tightly. At first he doesn't quite know what to do with his hands, and so he settles for petting her hair, which is really soft and fine where Riku's is heavy and a little coarse but both are nice and then she's just hugging him, her face in his throat and he holds her until she stops crying.
And since he didn't like the way her face looked after, pale and blotchy and so sad, he kisses her face all over until she starts to giggle, and that's really so much better.
+++
And really, with anyone else but Sora, it should not have worked. It should have failed miserably, dramatically, and all in tears.
What actually happens is: Sora is walking to the beach with his best friends, flanked on either side by one, and the sky is shining brilliantly overhead, and he stops for just a moment, watching them walk the short way before they both turn to look at him.
"You know," he says, "I love you guys. Both of you."
And they both stare at him, and stare at him, and stare and--
Sora gets bored of it after a moment, and grabs their hands, one each, and plows forward, running to the beach and dragging them with him.
+++
And really, it's not weird having three people in the same bed, just -- really crowded. And it should be awkward, because Riku's all long bony limbs that aren't quite sure where to go and Kairi giggles if you look at her too hard, but Sora is comfortable, actually, clambering to sit on top, low on Riku's hips.
"See," he tells Kairi, "the biggest problem about Riku is that he's too tall. You need a chair if you want to reach him when you're standing, 'cause otherwise you get an awful crick." He cracks his neck to demonstrate, which is only partly exaggeration. Kairi laughs and presses her face into Riku's shoulder.
"Hey," Riku says mildly, though there's a bit of tightness still around his eyes -- he's still a little uncomfortable, a little disbelieving that it's all real; Sora thinks he'll have to work on that. "I'm right here."
"Yeah, well, she's not used to you yet," Sora tells him. "So it's fair warning."
"Fair warn--" Riku rolls his eyes. "Sora, it's a kiss, not a fight."
"I dunno," Sora says. "With you, it's sometimes the same thing--"
"You," Riku says warningly, and then flips, rolling them; Kairi squeaks loudly as they tumble over her and she ends up getting pulled in and they're all rolling, rolling--
--off the edge of the bed.
They land with Sora on the bottom and Kairi sprawled over his chest, and Riku on top of her.
"Ow," Sora says. "Jeeze, Riku! Geddoff!"
And immediately Riku recoils, not panicked, but a bit wide-eyed, rather sheepish, backing up until he bumps into the side of the bed. He and Sora look at each other for a moment, and then Riku looks sharply away. "... Sorry."
"Hmph," says Sora. "You should be."
Riku's shoulders are stiff. "I won't--"
"S'what you get," Sora says, and crawls over to him. "For getting bigger than me."
And that's obivously not what Riku was expecting to hear, because his head snaps around and his eyes are wide and he opens his mouth to say something else -- and Sora is pretty sure he doesn't want to hear whatever else Riku's going to say, so he kisses him instead.
It works pretty well.
+++
Eventually they find a position that sort of works: Sora gets sort of sandwhiched between Riku and Kairi, not quite pinned. Riku has one arm around his stomach and is running the other hand through Kairi's hair, over and over, as she presses small careful kisses across Sora's collarbone and down the center of his chest. And it feels really good, but he wants to move too -- but the moment he tries to wriggle free, Kairi bites him.
"OW," he protests. "Kairi, what--"
She looks up at him, and she's blushing hard still as she brushes her hair out of her eyes. It immediately falls back, so Riku does it again for her. "We're going to do it this way," she tells him.
"Er," Sora says. "That's cool, but I--"
Riku bites his ear, and it makes him jump and yelp. "It's self-preservation," Riku mutters. "Otherwise, you'll wear us out before you're done."
"Hey," Sora begins to protest, trying to turn. "What's that supposed to --"
And then Kairi starts kissing his chest again, one small slim hand brushing across his hip before it's joined by Riku's larger one and uh. Um.
Sora sort of doesn't remember a whole lot after that, though he's dimly aware that they relent and allow him enough movement to throw his legs around someone's hips and grope wildly with his hands, and Riku is muttering in his ear and Kairi's breath is on his throat and it
kind of feels like all the good things ever in his life
and he comes down from it slowly, gasping for breath and a bit hazy-eyed, not quite able to focus as Kairi, still blushing furiously, leans up to kiss Riku over his head, slow and steady and somehow completely comfortable.
Sora smiles and closes his eyes.
+++
He wakes up to a voice in his ear saying Okay, maybe you're not that bad at it.
Sora blinks muzzily; there's hair in his face and a head on his shoulder; he's so tangled up he's not really sure whose what goes where, and he's in no mood to try and free himself. "Whaaa?"
It's me.
"Rox--" Sora cuts himself off, and thinks carefully, Roxas?
Yeah. You handled that pretty well.
I didn't do that much, Sora protests, closing his eyes.
When he does, he can see Roxas, standing across from him; Sora is a bit thankful that at least in his own head, he's still wearing clothes. Roxas doesn't quite look at him, hands in his pockets and shuffling a toe against the ground.
And then what he just said sinks in and Sora sputters, bright red. "You were WATCHING?!"
"... Not my fault," Roxas says, a bit defensively. "I mean, this is sort of my body too. I can't help it."
Sora gapes at him; he can feel himself turning scarlet, and sees the same blush spreading across Roxas' face. "You -- I mean, you just -- how could -- I don't even want to KNOW --"
"Look," Roxas cuts him off, shoulders hunched. "I mean. I wasn't trying to pay attention, and I think I know how to completely ignore it next time --"
"Oh man," Sora groans, rubbing his face. "I can't believe--"
"I'm sorry," Roxas snaps, defensive, then sighs. "... You're lucky."
Sora almost continues grumbling, then stops and looks at Roxas. There's still a lot about his Nobody that he's not sure about; he knows Naminé better than Roxas. But he's shared enough memories, and he knows --
"Um," he says, a bit hesitantly. "Roxas ..."
"Don't," Roxas snaps, then takes a deep breath. "Don't worry about it. I --" He turns and gives Sora a half-awkward, quick smile. "I'm happy for you."
And there isn't really much to say to that; there are things that Sora knows aren't really his business, no matter how much of the same person he and Roxas are. So he tucks his hands into his pockets and smiles back, quick and a bit shy. "Thanks."
--end--

Because this is just. So. Incredibly cute and sweet and oh Roxas and. RIKU RIKU RIKU DON'T GO AWAY and I'm so glad that just like in canon Sora's ALSO starting to notice that and stop it. And Kairi is so... incredibly Kairi here and. Actually, they're all incredibly IC.
And this just-- it works and it's so cute and sweet and. I sort of love your Roxas's voice, tangentally, because you write him with the same diction that his english voice actor has, so I can kind of hear the lines, and that's several kinds of cool.
Also, Sora!orgasm is strangely adorable, and I love Kairi and Riku being on the same wavelength, and just.
So much yes. XD

I had to include Roxas snarking at Sora, man, I can't NOT include him in anything post-KH2. ... and given how difficult I actually find him to write at times (because he's got Sora's "voice"-but-not), I'm glad that he actually works. XD
Someday, I'm going to write a fic where Sora is off somewhere else, and Riku and Kairi will be left to their own devices. It will involve Riku being told that No One But No One Can Kidnap A Princess, But He MAY Escort Her If She Allows.

Roxas is several different kinds of awesome, too! The awkward smile is just so fitting and. Just. Yes. <--still incoherent
"Hey," Riku says mildly, though there's a bit of tightness still around his eyes -- he's still a little uncomfortable, a little disbelieving that it's all real; Sora thinks he'll have to work on that. "I'm right here."

I'm amused by your little snarkbutt Roxas. XD And awww at Sora, and Riku, and Kairi, and double awwwww at Sora being a woob and effortlessly making the threesome work. :D (My Sora is envious of yours now, I think. XD That is very much like how he WANTS to resolve his threesome, but nooo, I'm making him go through the false starts and the miscommunications and the angst. XDXD)
I'm not sure if Riku would be quiiiiite that skittish after the falling-on? I mean, he has to know that he's huge and Sora does not like to be squished. But other than that, adorable. :D And dhgkj Sora and Roxas. T_T Love.

XD Ah, and I wasn't trying for Riku being embarrassed about the actual act of falling -- more like in his head it's going "wtf I'm doing this with both of them" "WTF I'm doing this with both of them" "WTF I'M DOING THIS WITH -- oh, crap, I just fell on Sora BAD ME. DDD:"

Well, yeah, that's sort of what I meant - I almost feel like the "BAD ME. DDD:" is a little too... well.

I wanted to write something coherent as a comment, but my brain is just... it's a squealing fangirl, right now. I can't help it. XD I'm insanely in love with this threesome and I love your writing, so it's a win-win situation. *melts into a puddle of goo*
I really REALLY love your Sora, it just feels too natural the way you write him. But I really liked Riku in this one too, how he was sort of there, but still uneasy. This whole fic just made sense you know? Bah, *goes back to squealing like a piggy*
From:
no subject
Honestly, I'm a big fan of OT3s in general -- they solve so much in terms of shipping problems, and with a character like Sora, who just sort of loves both his friends SO MUCH, it's hard to concieve of breaking them up. XD
I'm REALLY glad, though, that Riku came across well -- someone once pointed out that after everything he's been through, he's NOT going to be the same cocksure little brat he was in the first, but I don't think that'd go away completely and ... yeah. ♥ I'm really, really glad you liked this, and that it made sense, yay~♥

For characterization, this seemed spot-on, and I love how Sora just effortlessly makes things work. And how Kairi's a little embarrassed and Riku's a little awkward and unsure and how they just... move on from that and fall together so nicely♥
......Also, how do you write sex that just makes me want to squee and cuddle all parties involved? X3 WTF cuteness.
From:

I maintain that, while Sora is not the smartest when it comes to books and numbers, he's pretty damn clever about things that pertain to the heart -- probably more than either Riku or Kairi, because he's spent so much time dealing with it.
