have you ever seen RPS with presumably open relationship with canonical SOs where it's handled well enough? Yes - mostly with John Barrowman. In this case, it's easier to do because first, the person/character is openly gay, so no 'only gay for you' stuff I usually hate, and second, there are hints of not-quite-open relationship in interviews. Most stories just have that one line to explain the situation. and it works okay. There are a lot of fics with threesome Barrowman/Gill/someone else (that can start with barrowman/someone else and then go into threesome), and there are several stories which actually explore open relationship.
