Description:

The journey of Chris' contemplation of joining Kira and Ty in a triad, or perhaps a vee.

Slight canon deviance in Part 1, in that Kira doesn't reveal engagement to Ty. After s3e7 (Kira loves Chris more than Ty, but she's put too many years into a relationship with him to not continue with the wedding), there's considerable canon divergence. In Part 4, an OC and platonic marriage are an attempt at a Fix-It for the shaky canon foundations for the wedding (in so far that canon hasn't actually provided a reason for it, while this fic assumes it has to do with Ty's citizenship). The main focus is still on Chris, Kira, and Ty. Flat out ignoring s3e8 (Chris leaving Kira and Ty because they have a history of prioritizing each other over third partners).

While I had planned on a final part (Honey), this series is currently being marked complete as of 11.26.2019.

Notes:

-
Italics point towards some of the reasoning for aligning a certain apple with a part.

Greening Sour: "As the name implies this is not an eating apple: It's far too sour, with bracing acidity reminiscent of unripe grapes. It is, however, an excellent addition to a pie mix in combination with sweeter fleshed varieties."

Macoun: "Sweet and juicy, Macouns are often found at pick-your-own apple orchards. Intensely sweet, they’re best eaten fresh, but these apples bring a crisp sweetness if you’re looking to make applesauce."

Crab Apples: "While crab apples tend to be discovered rotting in the grass—apples you’d never consider eating because they’re sour and tart—crab apples are generally used to make jam and jelly. For other crab apple ideas, you can also pickle and juice them."

Golden Delicious: "With bright yellow skin, they feature a silky texture and a very sweet flavor. Bake into pies, toss slices into salads, and cook down into sauces. They taste best shortly after purchased because the thin skin is easily bruised."

Honeycrisp: "The name says it all: Honeycrisps are juicy and explosively sweet with negligible acidity and little complexity. They have a light, crunchy flesh. Honeycrisps aren't recommended for cooking, but for those that like their apples candy-sweet, they're excellent eaten fresh."
