On a Lighter Shipping Note

Cat.  Cat, why?  I've been doing good in the Les Mis fandom.  Despite my joking about having an OT10, because I'm down with just about any combination of the Amis and Musichetta, I've really only been shipping two pairings for the most part.  Granted, one is still a triad, but it's a canonical triad.  Mostly.  (I do maintain that all my weird pairing numbers, be they the threesome from Series One of Doctor Who or the foursome from Decade or the six from Gokaiger, have a great deal of canon backing.  And the Gokaigers are aliens.  Aliens should have different ideas about sexuality than us.  Maybe a sixsome is normal for some of them!)

But after some of our recent discussions now I want to find some actual OT9/10 fics.  Or at least some Courfeyrac/Combeferre/Enjolras/Grantaire/Courfeyrac to see if anyone would actually try to balance that relationship.  And I don't even know how to go about looking for fic that has Enjolras and Combeferre as BFFs who complete each other but are in happy relationships with others but get off on hearing the other one sexually excited because, hey, soul-mates but not necessarily in a romantic way.  I mean... how did we even end up talking about that?  Is that a kink?  How would you even go about looking for fic like that?

Shipping is hard when you're a panromantic asexual who for some reason likes fictional poly relationships.

Oh dear, you are making me want to watch more of Gokaiger. (I watched the first few episodes, and may or may not be eventually talked into cosplaying the green one because a few of my friends have expressed interest in doing this, and I'm the one in the group who pulls off blond best.)

I actually found OT7 a quite possible solution for Ouran as well, and managed to find a few fantastic fics as well (not many, but quality sometimes has to work over quantity, right?)

...admittedly, I've discussed and explored a loose OT10 before with les amis with some dyads and triads within it. (Even written something which was mainly cuddling with no real point.) However, as far as proper fic...

Actually, I've seen some fluffy... semi-romantic friendship things, and a couple where Jehan gets to make out with just about anything, but I don't know if I've seen proper OT9/10 fic before. If my librarianskillz find anything in the future, though, I will be glad to pass it along. :)

Admittedly, I'm no expert, going right back to the fact that I was literally not allowed to watch Power Rangers as a kid. That being said, I have a good friend who definitely knows all the sentai/Power Rangers series (individually and together, i.e. which ones got mashed up to make which Power Rangers series, which actors were in what, the best/worst of them, etc etc etc etc etc) far too well. (Not that I can talk, I'll hardly shut up about certain anime/manga series/musicals myself. ...or dorking about spike tape. Eep.)

It gets even better with the live-action version. Honey-senpai is the red ranger in Goseiger..... >D (and he's so adorable!!)
And Mori-senpai's actor actually got married to a woman (Mari Yaguchi, she's from Morning Musume and has been in a few things...) who is just under 5 feet tall. If that's not perfect casting I would seriously like to know what is. XD

I agree on that. Dyads and triads don't get in the way of the full group, it just makes for familiar and comfortable pockets within it.
