It doesn't invalidate James and Thomas' love for each other if they both loved Miranda and she loved them.
This this this, as the kids say these days. And really good point that James and Miranda could have pretended to be brother and sister if they had wanted to. His entire intense mourning period in the first half of s3 isn't just for his "last connection to Thomas" or however this is handwaved, but for her, Miranda, the woman he's been living with for a decade. Now I'm perfectly prepared to believe James/Thomas was more intense - that's how any falling-in-love period feels like, and they never had the chance to live with each other day by day and transition into an "established relationship of many years" era, which both of them did with Miranda. I'm also fine with saying either of them outside their triangle prefered men sexually. But that they didn't love Miranda in every sense of the word? No way.
