OP

I like B/C together but only as part of an OT3. They can even have scenes with just B/C in an OT3 fic and I enjoy them. But a fic with just them and no A does nothing for me.

So the issue is excluding all the fics tagged B/C *except* the ones that are A/B/C? Ao3 doesn't have a function to go 'exclude B/C unless also tagged A/B/C', like that?

In that case, couldn't you just search for A/B/C? You won't get B/C on its own unless you're specifically searching for it separately, so the A/B/C tag should ensure that if it shows up, it's as part of the OT3.

Or, if the issue is that you're finding A/B/C tagged fics that only actually feature B and C in them, with A only mentioned, you could try searched 'A/B/C' with 'Character A' in the character tags? That one's not foolproof, though, I realise that, since a lot of people tag characters who don't actually appear if they consider them part of the main pairing or an important topic of conversation.
