Cute concept: Fedyor and Ivan taking Aleksander under their wing after Alina broke his heart. They eventually become a poly relationship and rule Ravka as the true grisha power triumvirate.
At first its just to be nice, and really Fedyor will Not have Aleksander's moping to the point of eating cereal out of the carton and milk out of the jug type shenanigans. They wanted to give him a place to stay, some time to get Back on his Feet (and maybe a hug or two, but Aleksander would never admit to needing it).
But once Ivan learns to put his foot down with his Best Friend for Life , Fedyor is willing to accept Aleksander into their relationship. Also consider for some bullshit of well if an amplifier loves you its basically yours, Fedyor and Ivan also become immortal
Cis Aleksander tries to have a threesome with trans Fedyor and trans Ivan, fully expecting to top both of them and be the center of their little tryst.
And he will be the center, in a way. But Ivan and Fedyor intend to top Aleksander
