Puzzlement
In a fandom where the relationship I read about was never a couple, always part of three, how come people still write angsty love triangle jealousy stuff? I mean, two people love Jack, he's not going to perceive that as a problem. Not in any world I can make fit.
Two people love Jack and mildly loathe each other, that could be a problem. But then the fun is seeing how they fit together. Having snarky bitey arguments about who doesn't belong, and Jack not participating at all except as some distant object of desire, seems like a pattern imported from another paradigm. Can't see it.
Coffee vs Tea wars I can see, Jack staying neutral I can't.
