Shipping preferences, based on the [[Incest Subtext]] in a story.
Incest is a serious, possibly instinctive taboo among human
Even with the taboo, they might have an easier job than even the [[Ho Yay]] [[Shipping|shippers]], since normal family members are often so close to each other, both physically and emotionally, that with any other partner, it would be considered erotic by anyone. Just pick up any dialogue between relatives, [[Selective Obliviousness|ignore the obvious intentions]], and Ta-da! you have subtext.

See also [[Ho Yay Shipping]] and [[Foe Yay Shipping]] for other shipping tropes that are based on fan-speculation, and [[Incest Is Relative]] page for a collection of other incest-related tropes.

{{examples}}
== Anime
* The anime for ''[[.hack|.hack//Legend of the Twilight]]'' was notorious for this to the point that it's what a lot of non-fans of the series in general tend to know it for. The manga it was based on, on the other hand, was vague about it at best.
* The number of ItachixSasuke fans in the ''[[Naruto]]'' fandom would surprise newbies, and the size of the fandom only seemed to ''increase'' {{spoiler|when Itachi died.}} Outside of NejiHina, this is '''the''' most popular incest pairing.
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
** Then there are the cases in which they're [[Not Blood Related]], like England and America, or China and Japan.
** Then there's Norway and Iceland, who really ''are'' blood-related. Shipping them together actually ''increased'' somewhat after this revelation came out because it attracted shippers who liked the "forbidden" appeal of one of the few truly related pairs to be romantically involved.
* ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'': Gil's younger brother, Vincent, is [[Yandere
* ''[[Vampire Knight]]'' had Zero and Ichiru.
** And the {{spoiler|Kuran}} family has a history of incest, as seen in the current generation between {{spoiler|Kaname and Yuuki}} And many people do ship them.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* ''[[Code Geass]]''. It's just all over the place in that show, it even has its own [[Brother-Sister Incest]] page.
* [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] has brothers Edward and Alphonse. The 2003 anime is infamous for showing how close the brothers really are, a common saying amongst fans of the relationship is that 'they broke so many taboos already, what's one more?'
== Comic Books ==
* Leonardo and Raphael of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' fight in such a way half the time that it comes off more like [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] than actual [[Sibling Rivalry]]. This is especially noticeable in the recent 2007 film.
* Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, aka [[Scarlet Witch]] and [[Quicksilver]] from the ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'', were seen in this light, especially Pietro and his overprotective instincts. In the alternate universe title ''[[The Ultimates]]'', [[Brother-Sister Incest|however...]]
== Film ==
* In ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'', Luigi and Amber. Particularly the bit where she knees him in the groin and licks his ear at the same time.
** According to their brother Pavi's myspace page, ''he'' and Amber are also rather unhealthily close. And a surprising number of fans [[Foe Yay|ship Luigi and Pavi]] (or [[Portmanteau Couple Name|"Pavigi"]]).
* In a director's-cut scene from ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Two Towers]]'', a lot of what we'll call Stewardcest fangirls point for evidence to this moment that's very subtle, but oddly difficult to explain otherwise when you notice it: Denethor dismissively comments about his younger son, Faramir, "I know his uses. They are few." Now think about the implications of the word "use." And rewind and look at Boromir's expression again: It's not "Oh, dad, you're so mean," it's ''embarrassed.'' Arguably more of an Incest Eep! than an [[Incest Subtext]], depending on just how abusive you think this family is, but ... hoo ''boy.''
== Literature ==
Line 60 ⟶ 58:
*** Hell, even in the ''canon'' pairings one begins to wonder if Aragorn and Arwen are actually getting off on the fact that Aragorn's ancestry is awesome because it traces to her uncle; Faramir and Eowyn are some kind of cousin, too.
*** During the First Age, there's something of a genetic bottleneck among elves in that only a few families come back to Middle-Earth, and they promptly kill a large number of the same-species mating possibilities who aren't blood kin to them. Even then, the first few ''non''-related pairings among elves tend to go horribly wrong, to the extent that ... well, you start to wonder if Tolkien was taking some kind of revenge on people like Eol who made his back-to-Valinor family trees not fit neatly on one page. Making the author himself a bit of a kissing-cousins shipper.
*** Most fanfic treats the canon [[Brother-Sister Incest|Turin/Nienor]] pairing as tragic, like the book in which they're the title
* ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' has Hawkfrost/Brambleclaw, which even has its own [[Idiosyncratic Ship Naming|ship name]]: Brothershipping. They're actually half-brothers, which is probably the only reason it isn't banned from discussion on [[
** The reveal that {{spoiler|Firestar and Scourge}} are half-brothers as well means {{spoiler|Altershipping}} now falls under this trope.
* ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' has Percy and Annabeth, who, despite being closely related via their respected parents, Poseidon and Athena, {{spoiler|like each other romantically and eventually get together by the end of the series}}.
Line 70 ⟶ 68:
* [[A Series of Unfortunate Events]] had a small Violet/Klaus fandom that got quite a bit larger after the release of the movie adaptation.
▲== Live Action TV ==
* This is referred by the ''[[Firefly]]'' fandom as "CSI" or "Crazy Space Incest".
** [[Summer Glau]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JCvpFG-Ll4&feature=related opinion on the matter at 0:35].
* Justin and Alex in ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' - to the point where the pairing
* Quite common in recent ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' series. Especially ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'' and its many bathing scenes. However, "Kivacest" typically refers not to Wataru and Otoya despite their ''epic'' [[Time Travel]]-enabled bath scene (with back scrubbing!) but to Wataru and {{spoiler|Taiga}}, who turns out to be his brother.
* Some members of the ''[[Supernatural]]'' fandom, known as Wincest shippers, see this between Sam and Dean Winchester.
Line 92 ⟶ 89:
* There's no [[Incest Subtext]] shown between [[Angel|Connor]] and his parents in the show itself, but there ''are'' fans who have written Darla/Connor and Angelus/Connor stories.
** Yeah but don't forget Angelus taunting Connor about sleeping with the woman who used to change his diapers (closest thing he had to a mother.) [[Oedipus the King|"There should be a play."]]
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]] is all but canon between Cesare and Lucrezia on [[The Borgias]] (considering that the real life Lucrezia was rumoured to be in an incestuous relationship with both Cesare ''and'' her father Rodrigo, it's pretty much fair game). Cesare is incredibly protective of his little sister, and only shows his softer side to
** [[Parental Incest|Rodrigo]]/[[Daddy's Girl|Lucrezia]] and [[Sibling Rivalry|Cesare]]/[[Foe Yay|Juan]] shippers also exist in abundance.
* ''[[Frasier]]'' fandom has some Frasier/Niles shipping, otherwise known as "Cranecest".
* [[Life with Derek]] fandom give us [[Not Blood Siblings|Derek and Casey]] aka [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Dasey]], even though they're step-siblings
* There's a modest but passionate faction of Klaus/Rebekah shippers in [[The Vampire Diaries]]'s fandom. Joseph Morgan and Claire Holt's chemistry (they're friends offscreen) and certain
== Theater ==
* ''[[Hamlet]]'''s [[Oedipus Complex|subtext with his mom]]. Doesn't help that [[Age Lift|he]] is often older than [[Playing Gertrude|her]].
== Video Games ==
* Alfred and Alexia Ashford in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]''.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest/Video Games/Fire Emblem|A lot]] in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series. The king and queen of this trope would be [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Eltoshan X Lachesis]]. The Prince and Princess would be [[Fire Emblem:
** Really, all but one instance of incest in the series is subtext. The one text example is {{spoiler|Alvis/Diadora}}, also from ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Geneaology of the Holy War]]''.
* From ''[[Final Fantasy X-2|FFX-2]]'', we have [[Kissing Cousins|Yuna and Rikku]].
Line 111 ⟶ 106:
* [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake and Liquid Snake]]. It only gets worse once Liquid possesses Ocelot, who had a big gay crush on their father.
* [[Jak and Daxter|Gol and Maia]] are ''extremely'' affectionate with one another, talking to each other more like old lovers than brother and sister.
* ''[[Golden Sun]]'', oh ''[[Golden Sun]]''. The first and most obvious is Felix and Jenna, who are siblings. Then ''The Lost Age'' introduces Karst, who is absolutely ''obsessed'', easily to a [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous]] [[Yandere
** A 4koma doujinshi, ''Golden Sun Gag Battle'', has Ivan [[Power Perversion Potential|trying out his new Reveal power]] on {{spoiler|Hama and Feizhi's clothes.}} To be fair, ''Gag Battle'' was published before ''The Lost Age'' outed {{spoiler|Hama as Ivan's sister.}}
* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' caters to this trope, but when you think about it, it's not that surprising: there's shippers for Mia/Maya, Lana/Ema, Jake/Neil, Edgeworth/Franziska (although, to be fair, [[Not Blood Siblings|they're not biologically related]]), and even {{spoiler|Apollo/Trucy}}, all of which have a fair bit of subtext to them. The two incestuous pairings that are by far the most popular in the fandom are {{spoiler|Dahlia/Iris}}, from ''Trials and Tribulations'' and Kristoph/Klavier, from ''Apollo Justice''. As always, though, your mileage may vary.
* In the ''[[Touhou]]'' fandom, any pair or trio of siblings has a pairing with each other. Oddly, in all cases it is most common to see the younger sibling as dominant or otherwise more active/aggressive than the older one, who, if not submissive, is thus the passive one. Expect any inversions of the relationship to be of an equal or higher degree of [[Fetish Fuel]]. Of course, this IS [[
* Hawke/Bethany has a surprisingly strong following in ''[[Dragon Age 2]].'' Isabela and Merrill weren't everyone's cup of tea, and Aveline wasn't a love interest. Cue a large amount of people shipping Hawke with his/her younger sister.
** There's also a considerably smaller, but still noticeable amount of shipping for Carver/Hawke. Perhaps all that waits now is for Bethany/Hawke/Carver to become the [[One True Threesome]]. Though [[Rule 34|they probably already have somewhere]].
Line 120 ⟶ 115:
* Toad and Toadette of [[Super Mario Bros.]], but it's possible that the fandom doesn't know they're brother and sister.
== Web Comics ==
* Since [[Jay Naylor]]'s webcomic ''[[Better Days]]'' contained actual [[Twincest]], readers have been joking about something similar happening on its sequel ''[[Original Life]]'' ever since it got started. As of this writing, nothing has ever actually happened, but [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/comic/OL164.10-12-24.jpg some] [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/comic/OL165.10-12-27.jpg dialogue] between siblings Thomas and Janie following her arm injury sounds rather... questionable. If the two weren't related, you would know ''exactly'' where dialogue like this would lead. And since Naylor ''has'' done it before...
** And early in the series there were definite undertones of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|BST]] between Janie and a [[Kissing Cousins|cousin]].
== Web Original ==
* Lenny and Elizabeth Priestly of ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' v3 are seen by most handlers as having an... [[Twincest|interesting relationship]], due to Lenny's protectiveness of her. Some handlers also ship Reiko and Reika Ishida (twins), and Rosa, Frankie, and Ilario Fiametta (triplets).
== Western Animation ==
Line 139 ⟶ 131:
** And Suzy's attitude towards her brother is absolutely creepy even for fans of this trope.
* Occurs in some segments of the ''Animaniacs'' fandom, though probably more because there aren't very many other shipping options.
* ''[[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan]]'' has almost no fandom and was made long before the internet and Rule34, but Tom still manages to have a few [https://web.archive.org/web/20111205182328/http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/inabarrell.PNG choice] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111205180505/http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/look.PNG moments] with Alan ''and'' have a dynamic with [https://web.archive.org/web/20111205190428/http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/flirtylookidk.PNG Anne] that sometimes screams "they'd be strongly hinted at as a couple if they weren't siblings".
* In ''[[Rugrats]]'' and ''[[All Grown Up!]]'' some people [[Ship]] Chuckie and Kimi together. At least they are only step brother and step sister.
** ''Any'' shipping between the Rugrats is vaguely squicky. Having known each other since they were infants, [[wikipedia:Westermark effect|the Westermarck effect]] should be in full force.
* Papa Smurf and Smurfette in ''[[The Smurfs]]'', while not biologically related, get constantly shipped together in this fashion. It doesn't really help that [[Ephebophile|Papa Smurf even has]] [[Pervert Dad|that type of interest in Smurfette]].
* Cousins Ben and Gwen from ''[[Ben 10]]''.
* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Ninja Turtles]]'' get this treatment quite a lot, which is known as "turtlecest" in the fandom. The [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|second animated series]] an the 2007 CGI movie are probably to blame, since they've introduced a more complicated dynamic between the mighty foursome and, by the rules of shipping, any tension can be interpreted in a [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|sexual]] way.
* In ''[[My Little Pony:
