I been trying to find some good love triangle stories, not just for TifaXCloudXAerith but for CloudxTifaxVincent.
Do you know of any?
And what do you think of CxVxV and TxCxA? I am curious to hear your thoughts
Edit: I met to say in my first comment was CxTxV not CxVxV sorry about that.

CxVxV...? CloudxVincentx?
TCA (to shorten it) frankly freaks me out. I've never been into Love Triangles, given the overall angst-ridden, saddening air of the unrequited love and the eventual leaving-out of one person. But the main reason why I dislike TCA is that I don't support CloudAerith. Fullstop. (My reasons are within the debate "Shipping Wars")
CTV is slightly better, given that I do support CloTi and VinTi on the side. But as I've stated before, I don't like triangles. They never work out (three, last time I checked, does not divide by two) unless it erupts in threesomes, which could be nice, but not for TCA or CTV.
My thoughts. xD

Agape by darknightdestiny is a pretty good one. It's written very, very well and the authoress characterizes everybody's emotions spot on. However, she hasn't updated in long while. It's a bit depressing. It's Cloud/Tifa/Vincent, by the way.

I sor tof wrote something that could have been considered a love triangle, except it shatters into a yaoi pairing within 5-ish chapters. ZackxCloudxTifa, dissolving into ZackxCloud. Not sure if that's what you were looking for, but it passes time...

never seen the appeal, most of the time it involves in one person in the triangle being demonised to some degree. Its very hard to balance out as everyone has slight preferences.

The only love triangle I've really loved would be... Neji/Sakura/Shikamaru, a crack triangle, in the Naruto fandom. I remember reading a story I can't remember for the life of me in which the three of them worked it out so that they were, uhh, a romantically involved trio. Weird, but it was an amazing story.
For CTA, though, that would never work because of the way they all interact and their relationships between each other. I also can't help but feel that each of them really deserves someone of their own.
CTV - err, same. And, well, Tifa/Vincent is one pairing I don't enjoy very much. I'll read Yuffie/Hojo first. Or Tifa/Nanaki. (Hey, don't knock it 'til you tried it, Kaj had a great take on it.)

I've never read any triangle in this fandom. Actually, weirdly enough I don't read much FFVII fic at all. The other FFs tend to interest me more because they feel fresher but I digress. Just saw this topic and had to link everyone to a marvellous Kingdom Hearts fic by The Glass Slipper: Double Forte. It's Riku x Sora x Leon but it's handled maturely and the writing is beautiful. The story's heading towards a three-man relationship that is evenly balanced so the dynamics are very interesting, making it the best 3-way fic I've seen.

Usually I find triangles pretty stressful to read, because I get too much into the characters and go through their emotions. It's even harder, when not the two end up together who I wanted. That's why I normally avoid fics with triangle actions, but 2 of my fav stories are triangles, though. Maybe I like them, because it isn't really a thing betweet 3 people.

To be honest, I don't usually go in for romantic stories; I prefer romance to be, say, a subplot or something that develops from the main plot - not the main plot itself. Regardless, I still have read some triangle romances - in particular in the FF7 fandom, as TCA & CTV come up frequently enough. However, I'm afraid I don't have any recommendations for those two triangles, because I don't remember what stories I've read that have them. I have read stories with them - just... don't remember them.
On LoveTriangles in general: Most often they don't work out for one member of it. HOWEVER, not all love triangles are mutual. That is... Suppose we have love triangle A/B/C. A loves B and B love C (and possibly A as well) but C has no feelings for B. That's still a triangle relationship, but it's one that has the potential for working out, if only B will get over C. =)
On TCA: Not to get into any sort of pairing debate, but in my interpretation of FF7, this is rather canon-ish, and I like it best when portrayed as Tifa is in love with Cloud who may or may not return her feelings but at the same time retains feelings for Aeris, who herself more than likely doesn't return them to him (at least in my head - bear in mind that this interpretation is not for everyone). =) So it winds up in my head being more of a Tifa/Cloud/Aeris/Zack, I suppose?
On CTV: My personal interpretation of this one has always been that Cloud takes Tifa for granted and doesn't realize his own affections for her until she (tired of being largely ignored) drifts away from him to Vincent. And I know I've read several of these. Actually, a lot of Vincent x Tifa stories tend to incorporate this somewhat... Gah. I wish I could remember some of the stories for you. >< This weekend sometime, I'll look around a bit and see if I can't dig them up, again.
But there's one relatively major (albeit only in the backstory of the game) love triangle that's been forgotten about here! =o
Vincent x Lucrecia x Hojo!
And that's my favorite one, too. xD
... and I know several stories on that one, so if you want me to dig up links to VxLxH fics, do let me know. ^___^
