In fiction, the most life-changing events seem to happen at family gatherings. No family is immune, but especially not at a reunion, wedding or funeral, though it is also a staple of Christmas Movies. No matter what sort of family gathering — particularly one involving a Big, Screwed-Up Family — there are shocking revelations, death, divorce, or even attempted murder. If this makes family gatherings sound dangerous, don't worry. There is almost always reconciliation in the end, and everyone comes out of it learning valuable lessons about life, love, and the value of family. It often leads to a Prodigal Family situation. |

Wonder Woman (1942): In "Who Killed Col. South?" all of Col. South's niephlings, his daughter Sunny and a handful of his daughter's friends come to South Haven for a reunion. Col. South is then murdered, along with one of his nephews, by another nephew who also tries to kill Sunny. His remaining niephlings all prove to be jerks as well, with everyone more concerned about who's going to get the inheritance and the inconvenience of sticking around for the murder investigation than South's death and deriding his daughter for her worry. | |

The Celebration (or Festen, in Danish): in which a son chooses his father's 60th birthday to reveal to the rest of the family, and all their friends, that said father sexually abused him and his twin sister for years, leading to her suicide. Understandably, an exception to the "almost always reconciliation" rule. | |

In Rose Redemption AU, Steven rigs things so that he and his mom could spend family time with Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond, hoping that the three of them could reconcile. What follows is a full-on flop of a day at Funland, followed by arguing. | |

Nirvana in Fire: Jingrui's disaster of a birthday party. You know it's a failed family get-together when you find out neither of your "fathers" is actually related to you, one of them was trying to kill you all along, and he's decided to finish the job now, along with the rest of your family and all the guests who now know too much. Ouch. | |

House of the Dragon: While appearances are maintained in order not to offend the dying King Viserys, the last dinner between the Targaryens-Velaryons of Dragonstone and the Targaryens-Hightowers of King's Landing goes south the minute Aemond decides to mock the Velaryon children of Rhaenyra by calling them "Strong", as in a double entendre that they're bastards of Harwin Strong. That dinner is one of the last straws towards the Dance of Dragons, a Succession Crisis turned Civil War that will engulf Westeros. | |

The Haunting of Hill House (2018): The surviving Crain family members are not on the best of terms at the start of the show, and only all reunite at the funeral of the youngest sibling, Nell. This sets them on the path to confronting their personal demons at the titular haunted house, and coming out of it as a better family. It's also lampshaded. | |
