Cosmo Brown/Don Lockwood/Kathy Selden is the classic OT3 of Singin' in the Rain.

Watched Singing In The Rain tonight for the first time and no one can convince me that Don, Kathy, and Cosmo weren’t a poly couple.[1]

The three's polyamorous relationship is a reflection of the primary involvement between Cosmo and Don, who have been great friends since childhood with a remarkable connection -- where one is, the other will also be. Upon meeting Kathy by chance, Don falls in love and as the three work together their relationship grows closer, with a specific scene where Kathy kisses Don and Cosmo on the lips. In addition to countless interactions where they do everything as a threesome.

They are such an OT3!!!!! Like, don’t get me wrong, Don/Cosmo is my lifeblood, but Don/Cosmo/Kathy????? Is also so good. Especially during/after the “Good Morning” number. 😍[2]

The concept of the three being a triad has long permeated within the Singin' un the Rain fandom, often causing fans to believe they were alone in shipping this ot3.

Singin’ in the Rain = A++ POLY PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL[3]

In my head, the guys were always attracted to each other, but never did anything about it until she showed up and was just like ‘we’re all sleeping together now, but first we must write a musical.’[3]

I am SO GLAD I’m not the only one who ships it[3]

I’m of the opinion that Don and Cosmo were the worst kept secret in Hollywood - hence why all the publicity the studio was pushing about Don and Lena. Kathy comes along, Cosmo’s jealous for a bit, then it’s ‘sod it, she’s just too cute. the bed is totally big enough’.[3]

Okay, BUT WHERE IS THE FIC?[3]
