Personally, when it comes to shipping, for me it's secondary. I believe it's important for characters to have their own story arcs, and characters need to also be interesting outside of their relationships whether they're romantic or not. After pondering on the love triangle in Legendborn, I'm strongly in favor of a polyamorous ending.
The love triangle in Legendborn is one of the most enthralling and interesting love triangles that I've come across in a while, and it stems from the love triangle actually being balanced and all three of its participants being connected to one another in some fashion.
Nick x Sel
- Their relationship was already established before Bree entered the picture, so there's already history and a connection established between the two of them.
- Sel at one point harbored romantic feelings toward Nick when he was 13 years old.
- They're both bonded eternally together due to the Kingsmage Oath. Sel is bound to protect Nick for the rest of his life or until death.
Nick x Bree
- Bree has admitted that she loves and desires Nick.
- Bree is Nick's safe space within the Order he can be himself and vulnerable in front of her. He only desired and wanted her to be his squire. He could endure reclaiming his birthright and facing Camlann if Bree was also there by his side.
- There's a familiar dance between the two of them of loyalty and trust. (Lancelot & Arthur)
Sel x Bree
- Bree has expressed that she thinks he's beautiful and that she desires Sel. Sel also desires and yearns for her. Sel called her cariad which can mean: sweetheart, darling, beloved, and love in Welsh.
- Classic enemies-to-lovers trope. They were antagonistic towards one another at first but there was a shift in their relationship and as they got to know one another they fell in love.
- Both of their mothers were friends.
- Bree felt guilty for being attracted to him even though she's Nick's girlfriend.
Nick x Bree x Sel
- Bree has expressed that she's in love with and has desired both Nick and Sel. She's romantically and physically attracted to both of them. Both of them are also her safe space.
- Bree, Nick, and Sel are a trio connected and bound together in some shape or fashion.
- Bree served as the catalyst to helping change and mend Nick and Sel's strained, toxic/unhealthy relationship. Nick expressed that Bree is a part of his and Sel's story too.
- All three are united in protecting and sacrificing themselves for one another.
In my opinion, as long as the trio consents a polyamorous resolution is possible. Even if the relationship between Nick and Sel is not romantic they'll still be bound to each other.
