The (possibly AU) Sibling Incest Meme
THE FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC EDITION
Incest is, despite its taboo nature in most societies, actually a pretty popular convention in both romantic fiction and works of a more erotic bent, in everything from period or fantasy pieces to series taking place in places like modern day Japan. Still, the most common configuration in these fictions are the pairing of siblings. Perhaps this is because of the usual lack of age difference and power dynamic that exists in child/adult relative pairings, though this is not always the case. Because of this, a sexual or romantic relationship between siblings can almost seem, well,
romantic in the right light. Of course, more often than not, there's a dark side under the veneer of forbidden love.
This meme is for those who would like to play out that, either the darkness or the light - or both.
AND AS A SPECIAL EDITION - Flowers in the Attic mode! Inspired by the new moving and surely Oscar award winning Lifeftime adaptation of
the V.C. Andrews classic, I encourage people to use this meme as a chance to play your characters in a Flowers in the Attic AU! They had a relatively normal childhood...until now, where they've been locked away with their sibling(s), either for being an interference in their parents' scheme or some kind of so-called abomination. You must come together to survive, but what will that bring up between you? This is especially in question if you're experiencing a sexual awakening as you grow.
Feel free to age down your characters for this and maybe give a tiny blurb or so about what your character would be like in this world/as a sibling in it?
HOW TO PLAY-Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to mention any hard lines you have.
-Comment around to others. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO FACILITATE CROSS-CANON TAGGING, THIS MEME WILL BE CONSIDERED AN AU FAIR GAME ZONE. Feel free to comment in with characters who do not canonically have siblings or comment to people from other fandoms.
-Be respectful of others.
