A common cop-out in anime, manga and soap operas when a series is based on Brother–Sister Incest, is to reveal towards the end, or explicitly state in the opening monologue, that they're Not Blood Siblings. Usually, for all intents and purposes, everyone acts like they are. Alternatively, it can be used to explain why everyone's okay with the relationship. Despite its name, the trope is not exclusive to siblings and sometimes refers to other kin who aren't biologically related.
This can also be foreshadowing for such a relationship, as many shows usually won't make a big deal about adopted children unless there's a Changeling Fantasy involved.
Sometimes this is a result of Bowdlerization, Media Watchdogs, and Executive Meddling, in that in the original series they were blood relations. It also comes up in Moe, for fans who still feel a bit too squicky about it. First Girl Wins can sometimes explain the prevalence of this trope.
This trope is often related (but not by blood, of course) to and brought up around the Little Sister Heroine trope and the Sub-Trope Flirty Stepsiblings, which is about stepsiblings who are in their teens when their parents marry.
As for reality, it depends. These tropes tend to gross out anyone who has been raised alongside their stepsiblings. If they met as teens or later, though, it can seem unfair that their parents got together before they did. Real-life adoptive siblings are usually no more open to the idea of dating their siblings than blood-related ones are, either.
In older works, when sex shouldn't even be hinted at in family-friendly stories, main child characters are usually conveniently adopted orphans. That way, the main male and female character don't have to be accounted as their actual parents. This situation does lead to a lot of confusion with readers. A boy and a girl are adopted by a family, therefore appear to be brother and sister, but still have a romance thing going on and jealousy when one of them has success with another love interest. Since the situation isn't always explained, this often leads to disturbing, confusing ideas with the readers.
Quite often it's just a case of cultural misunderstanding. In Japanese the words for "big brother" (å…„ã�•ã‚“ — nii-san) and "big sister" (姉ã�•ã‚“ — nee-san) are very commonly used in casual speech to address young people in general, too, and it's not rare that little kids and teenagers will use them to address older but still young friends (or love interests). However, sometimes clarification is needed if the context is not clear enough about it.
For when "siblings" are by choice, instead of blood, that's Family of Choice. Also, do not forget that the ever-growing number of imouto-titles has practically translated this trope into the category Like You Would Really Do It and Captain Obvious Reveal, so even its well-founded use can very quickly get into Cliché Storm. Not Blood Siblings is to Brother–Sister Incest as Faux Interracial Relationship is to Maligned Mixed Marriage. Not to be confused with Sworn Brothers, where unrelated characters make a pact and become like siblings. Also, see Wife Husbandry for when this trope is taken to an even squick-ier level. For the inverted version — people who find out they're related after thinking they're not — see Surprise Incest. See also Not Blood, Not Family for cases where a person is excluded as family due to lack of blood ties.

Pretty Little Liars: Stepsiblings Jenna Marshall and Toby Cavanaugh. The main characters quickly assume it wasn't consensual and that Toby was the perpetrator, since All Abusers Are Male. The Plot Twist is that it was coercive, but Jenna was the perpetrator.

Tales of Legendia, in which Senel and Shirley pretend to be brother and sister (arguably, they do rather act as though they are, but they certainly don't resemble the other in the slightest, and have different surnames, to boot) until they are exposed by the main villain as not being related at all—in fact, each of them belongs to a different race altogether. Not too long after this, Shirley confesses to Senel that she is in love with him. They presumably end up engaged via the Rite of Feriyen by the end of the Main Quest... although afterward, the other characters note that the relationship between them doesn't seem to have changed much at all (they even get new titles to reflect this; Senel obtains "Still A Brother" and Shirley obtains "Sister Girl").

Bushwick: This is apparently the case with Lucy and Belinda, as Lucy explains to Stupe that they were both raised by Grandma, meaning they're sisters in that way. As neither looks anything alike (Lucy is white, Belinda most probably a Latina) they likely aren't even half-sisters.

X-Men:
Nightcrawler's "true love" is his adoptive sister Amanda "Daytripper" Sefton, even though they were raised together since infancy. To be more specific, Kurt dated a woman named Amanda Sefton, who would later be revealed to be Jimaine Szardos, Kurt's adoptive sister who he was raised alongside as a sibling when Jimaine's parents found Kurt abandoned as a baby. Despite tricking Kurt into believing her to be someone else, Kurt continued his romantic relationship with Jimaine fully acknowledging their sibling relationship.
Nightcrawler (as Mystique's blood son) and Rogue (as her adopted daughter) have potential for this, as well. Which if it happened would be less potentially squicky than Amanda; they never even met until adulthood. He still flirts shamelessly with her quite often though.

Frankenstein (1818). The same was true, but considerably more (sexually) explicit, in The Film of the Book, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. At least kind of; Elizabeth was raised by Victor's parents, but there seems to have always been a kind of barrier between the two thinking of each other as siblings, probably because their family always wanted them to get together as adults. Note that they may be biological cousins depending on which edition you read.

On Dark Angel, Max and the rest of her X5 unit consider each other siblings because they were "raised" together, although they don't share genetics. Their only biological siblings are their clones, who were in different units. (Jessica Alba's real-life brother Joshua does play Max's brother Krit, but it's unclear this is meant to imply their characters share DNA.) Zack falls in love with Max, and it Squicks her out. She wasn't too sanguine about the idea of being breeding partners with Alec, the twin of her brother Ben, either.

Gilmore Girls: Some fans were put off by the Like Parent, Like Spouse Love Triangle set up in the 2016 reboot, with Jess and Rory implied to still have feelings for each other, as Luke and Lorelai finally tie the knot at the end of it. With Luke as Jess's uncle and Rory as Lorelai's daughter, they are now step-cousins. The show's avoidance of the usual Unfortunate Implications, however, make this a non-issue for most of the fandom. Namely that Jess and Rory met as teenagers, they dated and broke up years before Luke and Lorelai got together, and they're both in their 30's in the reboot. And though Luke has been a part of Rory's life since she was a child, he got together with Lorelai after she left for college and while she loves him, she doesn't view him as her father.

Claimed in the penultimate route of Duel Savior Destiny, but then undone in the actual final route. The story first claims that it's so convenient that Taiga and Mia aren't related in the resolution to her route, but in the Crea/harem route that follows it, the story notes that they have a blood relation. Whether this is a subversionnote Meaning they were simply wrong in the previous exchange about the matter or a simple retcon is unclear.

Subverted in That '70s Show, in an episode where Eric's hot cousin comes to visit and tells him she's adopted, and then seduces him just to trap him into making a move on her in front of his parents.

Dexter: Although Dexter and Deb are not in the least bit involved, there was an instance where when Deb got angry with Masuka for not inviting her to Dexter's bachelor party. He said that it was men only unless she had wanted to be talent for the evening. Deb says that is gross as they're siblings, to which Masuka replies "not by blood". Dex just puts on his killing face in response. Deb also dated Dexter's biological brother, the Ice Truck Killer in the first season, although she was unaware of the connection at the time. Her own psychologist tries this excuse while suggesting that Debra's love for Dexter may be more than just sisterly, using this trope as a justification. She later fell in love with Dexter totally, which became a key plot point late season six onwards.

A very clumsy Western example: Ator, the Fighting Eagle (the first Ator film; MST3K fans might be more familiar with its sequel Cave Dwellers). Ator, the titular swordsman, falls in love with a woman whom he thinks is his blood sister; when he asks their father permission to marry her, the father happily reveals that he is in fact, adopted. (Instead of, you know, being totally squicked out by the idea that he would be in love with his blood sister in the first place).

An odd example: in one episode of The Simpsons, Homer's father briefly dates Marge's mother. Homer is against their relationship since he believes this will make him and Marge siblings, and retroactively turn the kids into freaks "with pink skin, no overbite, and five fingers on each hand!" The two wind up breaking up, though. However, Marge later becomes Homer's aunt when Abe briefly marries Selma. This is even weirder when you take his relationship with Mrs. Bouvier into account...

Emma Emmerich, in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, has a thing for her big brother Hal "Otacon" Emmerich. Turns out that they're really just stepsiblings; they have the same last name because Hal's dad adopted Emma after he married her mother. The sexual relationship which developed between Hal and Emma's mother, however, adds an extra layer of Squick to the situation.

re:Bound (RWBY) is a RWBY fic which ships Ruby and Neo. It's revealed several chapters in that Neo is the adopted daughter of Raven, taken in after Raven's tribe killed six-year-old Neo's parents. Raven is the biological, absentee mother of Ruby's paternal half-sister Yang. So they're both half-sisters to Yang in a sense, but on different sides of the family tree.

In Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, it was claimed that none of the Turtles were actually related to each other; they just happened to be the same relative age in the same terrarium at the time. This was done so that there would be the potential for Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, or Michelangelo to have a relationship with the female fifth turtle Venus de Milo, who was established as having mutated with the other four before being separated from them.

This is presumably what was intended with Two-Tone and Lucky in 101 Dalmatians: The Series. They're love interests despite being siblings. In the original film they're related by blood. It's most likely the creators of the cartoon mistook Two-Tone for one of the adopted puppies.

In Their Bond, Link was adopted by Princess Zelda's father as a child and the two were raised as siblings. As teens, Impa catches the two being intimate but it's a bit different than it initially seems. Yes, it was sexual, but neither actually wanted it. They're not even attracted to the opposite sex. Zelda uses making out with Link as a way of dealing with her past sexual abuse by Ganondorf.

Pristine example in Miyuki: The main character soon discovers that his stepsister Miyuki is not blood-related to him. She ignores it until the end of the manga when he proposes in the middle of her wedding to one of his best friends. She then breaks up the wedding, and they eventually get married.

Soap operas do this sometimes, particularly Days of Our Lives, where almost everybody is related to everyone else somehow (puzzling out the Brady/Horton/Kiriakis/DiMera family tree is so complicated that NBC even runs a commercial spot with star Ali Sweeney claiming she can't figure it out). Lately, Max Brady (adopted son of Caroline and Shawn, brother of Roman, Bo, Kayla, and Frankie) has dated two of his female nieces, Stephanie (daughter of Kayla) and Chelsea (daughter of Bo), and nobody has found this the slightest bit strange or squicky. On such fine technicalities are the constantly-churning relationships of soap opera characters kept acceptable to the Moral Guardians.

Fire Emblem:
The series tends to prefer the full-blooded version of this trope, but apparently decided to go the Not Blood Siblings route in Radiant Dawn... twice. Once with Micaiah and Sothe, and also with Elincia and Geoffrey. In both cases, they end up married at the end if they have an A-support with each other. Micaiah and Sothe is a combination of this and reversed Wife Husbandry. Due to her long life span, she raised Sothe from when he was a kid, though it could be argued that she viewed him as a little brother since physically she is only in her mid to late teens. Interestingly, they are the only characters who start out with A support for each other.
In the original Fire Emblem Gaiden, the relationship between Alm and Celica could be seen as this, considering they spent their childhood together under the care of Mycen. Downplayed in the remake, where the game quickly notes through dialogue that they are not related.
Near the end of the first half of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, King Trabant of Thracia kills Quan and Ethlyn and takes their daughter, Altenna, to raise as his own. She ends up falling in love with Trabant's biological son Areone. There's also a bit of the full-blooded version there too: Areone is a descendant of Dain, and Altenna is of Njorun... Dain and Njorun were Brother and Sister. Note that this was a little over a hundred years ago.
Meanwhile, Altenna's actual younger brother, Leif, is raised by Quan's loyal knight Finn. While Genealogy of the Holy War allowed a bit more freedom in pairing non-Lord units than most other early Fire Emblem games, its Interquel Thracia 776 suggests that his canon love interest is Nanna... and also that Finn is canonically her father. (Later material contradicts the latter assertion, saying that Nanna's father is whoever you chose to marry Lachesis in Genealogy of the Holy War and that Finn was more of an adoptive father in the event that he isn't her biological father, but the trope still applies.)
In Fire Emblem: Awakening, male Robin can marry Aversa, the indentured servant of Robin's biological father, Validar. They never met each other before the events of the game and Validar never considered Aversa's family, but this doesn't stop Aversa from calling Robin "Big Brother" as a joke, which Robin detests as he they aren't related in the slightest as her relationship with Validar was purely professional.
Doable in Fire Emblem Fates if Corrin marries any of their siblings from Nohr, since they were merely raised together and not biologically related, or their Hoshidan siblings, since it turns out they're not related either.
Also possible if Azura marries either of the Hoshidan brothers, as she spent most of her life with them but isn't related by blood. Meanwhile, her marrying the Nohrian brothers falls under another related trope.

Roseanne:
Darlene and David's relationship didn't start this way, but it became more and more the case as the series went on. When David was "adopted" (taken in) by the Conners, Roseanne let him know he could move in by walking in on David and Darlene kissing and cheerfully crying to Dan, "Oh, look, honey, our kids are necking!" By the time they got married, Jackie opened the episode by saying, "I can't believe our little Darlene is marrying... our little David," Mark scolded David for asking about their birth parents when the Conners were practically his parents, and David and Darlene paid tribute to "our parents Dan and Roseanne Conner" in their wedding vows.
Another episode centers on David being creeped out that he had an erotic dream about Roseanne because he thinks of her as his mother.

Both played straight and subverted in One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Rebeca marries José Arcadio. Rebeca is adopted, and they didn't grow up together: Rebeca came to their family at age 11, and José Arcadio was out of the house by then, having run away with the gypsies. Yet it's kind of a Subverted Trope in that José Arcadio does seem to consider it incest. He calls Rebeca "hermanita"note "little sister" in bed. When he goes to dump to Rebeca's Disposable Fiancé for her, José Arcadio does not pull out this trope as a defense, and instead very much owns it as incest.
The second example is a spoiler for the end: Amaranta Ursula (seventh generation) and Aureliano (the second) Babilonia get married under the pretense that they aren't related, but then Amaranta Ursula gives birth to a child with a pig's tail, he is eaten by ants, and Aureliano Babilonia realizes that Amaranta Ursula is his aunt. It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context

In Spiral, Ayumu is strongly hinted in the anime and confirmed in the manga to be in love with his sister-in-law. Inverted with Kousuke and Ryouko, who have blatant Ship Tease much before we learn (in the manga only) that they're actually half-siblings—but they've always known it, and though they've been raised apart, it has always been an obstacle to their relationship. (They eventually do make it to Official Couple status.)

In the Season 2 premiere of Reaper, Sock, once he gets over the shock of a stranger living in his mother's house, instantly lusts after his hot Japanese stepsister whom he just met when they were both adults, and did not grow up together. The problem is, she just wants a genuine sibling relationship between them and is completely oblivious to his attraction (until it gets really, really Anvilicious).

In Date A Live, Kotori has a crush on her older foster brother Shidou. He only sees her as a sister, which ticks her off. He is willing to kiss her, but only because it is the way to seal her out of control powers. When facing his biological sister Mana, Kotori actually used this trope to an advantage: since they're not blood sibling, Kotori can marry Shidou, Mana can't.

Subverted for all it's worth on Arrested Development. Cousins George Michael and Maeby are attracted to each other and George Michael clings to any hope that Maeby isn't his Aunt Lindsay's daughter. When they find out that there's a chance she's been adopted, they go to second base... then they find out that she is Lindsay's daughter. As a result, Maeby begins dating a boy from school—Steve Holt. Meanwhile, Steve decides to find the father he never knew, who turns out to be GOB, Maeby's uncle. As a result, they break up. Then, Maeby's mother Lindsay turns out to be adopted. Lindsay promptly starts hitting on George Michael's father, who is completely freaked out after thinking she was his twin for 37 years. And then, "in a kneejerk act of revenge", Michael's brother GOB decides to hit on his adoptive sister Lindsay. Subverted again in the Grand Finale with the reveal that Lindsey actually is Lucille's much younger half-sister, meaning Lindsay is GOB and Michael's half-aunt, while George Michael and Steve Holt are Maeby's half-first cousins once removed (or about as related as second cousins).
Lampshaded with the in-series movie Les Cousins Dangereux, a stereotypical french movie about cousins in love. When it's finally re-made for American audiences, the narrator explains that "the studio [...] had hoped to avoid controversy by artlessly explaining that the two leads were not biological cousins" but it didn't stop the protesters from picketing the premiere.
A callback joke has narrator Ron Howard remind the audience that George Michael and Maeby might not be actual cousins.

Penguindrum has two instances of these:
In Episode 19, it is been revealed that Himari is not Kanba and Shouma's blood sister; she is actually a girl rescued from the child broiler and was adopted into Kanba and Shouma's family, and she is in love with Shouma.
In the next episode, this is also revealed Kanba is not really Shouma's blood brother as well.
Then provides a surprise aversion: Kanba and Masako are Half-Identical Twins. Guess Masako is into half-twincest?

The canonical routes in both Da Capo games have always been about Not Blood Siblings, though the second game strayed into a fine line between this and Kissing Cousins for both Asakura sisters, since the protagonist is both adopted and raised by another parent—who, in turn, is another Not Blood Siblings with Asakura grandpa.
Which makes his surrogate son Yoshiyuki the adopted distant uncle of the Asakura sisters, which make his relationship with either sister one generation apart... No, wait, that's not right. Hmm... Try to wrap your head around the family tree of this franchise.

The manga, Me & My Brothers, takes great pains to remind the reader nearly every chapter that the heroine is in fact not blood-related to the titular brothers, despite the also-incessant reminders that they are all family and that Sakura is their "little sister." This is used quite blatantly so Sakura can be obsessively fawned over by her new guardians — and eventually fall in love with one of them — without the Squick.

The Irregular at Magic High School plays with this trope when it turns out that Miyuki is an improved magician, i.e., she was artificially created and then genetically modified to have powerful magic powers so that she could stop her brother from destroying the world, if needed. In this way, although she and Tatsuya are certainly biological siblings and have the same parents, their genes are different enough so that their potential Brother–Sister Incest connection is safe for their offspring. Later they are engaged under the guise of cousins, although their feelings are not mutual.

The Mortal Instruments:
Clary and Jace spend two whole books thinking that they're long-lost siblings, leading to much angst, until the third book. While they are not biological siblings, Jace was actually raised by Clary's father, Valentine, until he was 9 years old, making him his father by all accounts. However, Clary was raised by a single mother and doesn't meet Valentine until she is 16, notably after she meets Jace. Reportedly, the writer was going to have them be blood siblings until she decided against it.
Midway through City of Bones, it is revealed that Alec has a crush on his adopted brother, Jace, whom he knew since they were 11- and 9-years-old, respectively. However, this is explained to be a result of his inferiority complex and Gayngst, since Jace is the closest male acquaintance he has. Furthermore, this trope is far from the only problem any romantic relationship would have; Incompatible Orientation is shown to be more of a factor against (as Jace is, as far as we know, straight) and later books reveal that parabatai are forbidden from loving each other romantically, so even if Jace does reciprocate the feelings, it would open another can of worms. After Alec experiences Character Development and becomes more open, he moves away from his attraction at Jace and begins dating Magnus instead.

Completely inverted in Koi Kaze, where Koshiro and Nanoka develop an attraction for each other and then find out they are blood siblings who haven't seen each other in 10 years. The story revolves around how they cope—or not—with the fact that they can't get over their feelings for each other. In fact, Koi Kaze uses the anecdotally-supported phenomenon Genetic Sexual Attraction as a factor in Koshiro and Nanoka's interactions.

Kyouya in Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever has Miyuki (actually his cousin, which permits her into the Unwanted Harem), as well as Nanoha. Nanoha's own series, which barely shows Kyouya instead of giving him a lead role, doesn't even mention this, and instead chooses to briefly tease a potential relationship between Fate and her brother (by virtue of his mother adopting her) Chrono. Although this too was abandoned in the third season when Chrono married his childhood friend, Amy. And Fate becomes the second mother to Nanoha's adopted daughter Vivio, anyway.

Murder in the Mews: Double-subverted in "Dead Man's Mirror." Gervase wants his nephew Hugo to marry his adopted daughter Ruth and give their kids his surname in order to continue the bloodline. Then, it turns out that Ruth is the illegitimate daughter of Gervase's brother (Hugo is their sister's only child), so she and Hugo are biologically related, although they don't know it. Then it turns out that Hugo and Ruth are both already engaged or married to other people, but have been hiding this to avoid Gervase's displeasure.

Doable in Fire Emblem Fates if Corrin marries any of their siblings from Nohr, since they were merely raised together and not biologically related, or their Hoshidan siblings, since it turns out they're not related either.
Also possible if Azura marries either of the Hoshidan brothers, as she spent most of her life with them but isn't related by blood. Meanwhile, her marrying the Nohrian brothers falls under another related trope.

In Obey Me!, Asmodeus's brothers aren't exempt from his flirtations (especially not Beelzebub), though none of them take him up on his numerous offers. As fallen angels-turned-demons originally created by God, they aren't actually related, although with Asmo being the Avatar of Lust whether a blood tie would stop him is up for debate.
A variation occurs when it's revealed that the Player Character is the distant descendant of the brothers' deceased youngest sister, Lilith. With Lilith having been an angel and therefore similarly unrelated to the brothers, the MC being descended from her human reincarnation, and centuries having passed since Lilith's human life naturally ended, the brothers are nothing but overjoyed by the revelation and continue to pursue the MC as Love Interests.

The Umbrella Academy (2019): First, a little background for all these examples. There was a Bizarre Baby Boom and 43 superpowered kids were born to women who were not pregnant when the day began. These kids are presumably biologically unrelated.note Although — given the weird circumstances of their births — there might be some possibility that they're paternal half-siblings?
Reginald Hargreeves adopted 7 of them and raised them together from infancy. They're mostly considered family and are constantly referred to as brothers and sisters, yet there was also a cold, institutional, un-familial aspect to their upbringing as well. They grew up in a hermetically sealed environment and weren't allowed outside friends. Allison and Luther had a childhood crush on each other. When the show picks up, they're all 29 and have come home for Reginald's funeral after not seeing each other for years. At this time, Allison and Luther's old crush reemerges. In the first season it's given a more romantic treatment, but due to fans not liking it, the following seasons give it increasingly cynical treatment. Thematically, their relationship is emblematic of the highly insular nature of the Umbrella Academy. When Allison and Luther were kids, it was Situational Sexuality — who else was there to have a crush on? Now that they're adults and out from under Reginald's thumb, they can form relationships with outsiders if they so choose. For them to not do so, and instead look to each other for this, is an expression of arrested development.
In Season 2, Diego falls in love with Lila, who turns out to be another one of the Bizarre Baby Boom children, albeit one that was raised separately. When he learns of this, he nervously asks the others if they're not biologically related. Nonetheless, they continue their relationship.
In Season 3 they go to an alternate universe where Reginald adopted a mostly-different set of kids. Luther falls in love with one of them, Sloane. They have the same adopted father, but they were never raised together.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: After the protagonist gets Adopted into Royalty (technically nobility), there are a few scenes in which she suspects that her adoptive father is planning to have her marry her adoptive brother. It later turns out that all the available men in her adoptive family, barring a great-uncle who is officially her grandfather by blood, are technically options for her. This includes her adoptive father, because he's stubbornly monogamous in a society that has polygynous Exotic Extended Marriage.

In the Hetty Feather series by Jacqueline Wilson, Hetty's most consistent love interest is her former foster brother Jem. In the final book, Emerald Star, he proposes to her and when she protests that she is his sister, he tries to convince her that they are allowed to love each other because they are not blood relations. Hetty rejects him anyway as she is leaving to join the circus.

Smallville featured an example on the alternate-universe Earth-Two: Tess Mercer is having sex with her adopted brother, Clark Luthor.

In NAKAIMO - My Little Sister is Among Them!, Kumagoro Mikadono dies and leaves his fortune to his son Shougo, but only if Shougo goes to a certain school to meet a suitable wife. The very first day, a girl speaks to Shougo through a high window, claiming to be his biological sister and that she's going to marry him, but she refuses to give her name. Shougo, not wanting to marry a blood sibling, thus has to find out which go the many girls clamoring over him is the one who spoke to him through the window. The original Light Novel series finally reveals that Konoe, the girl who'd spoken to him, is indeed Kumagoro's biological daughter, but Shougo is not his biological son, and they end up together. The anime, on the other hand, ended before the novels did, leaving things up in the air.

Outlander: Marsali and Fergus are Jamie Fraser's stepdaughter and adopted son who both consider Jamie their father figure. However, they lived with Jamie nearly a decade apart and weren't raised in the same household or as siblings, so they don't see each other as brother and sister. But given that this is a time period where first cousins still marry with no controversy, stepsiblings with no blood relation probably wouldn't raise any eyebrows.

Trails in The Sky: Joshua was brought in by Cassius Bright at the beginning of the game (around 5 years prior to the game's timeline) so that Cassius can raise him as his adoptive son and his daughter Estelle's adoptive brother. Joshua's feelings toward Estelle are subtly hinted throughout the first game and Estelle slowly realizes her own feelings too, except for a certain problem: Joshua is an assassin from Ouroboros sent to assassinate Estelle's father and then to unknowingly spy on Bright Family after the expected failure. The sheer guilt he has makes Joshua leave his families and friends including Estelle right after she confesses. Thankfully, they get better.

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS the hinted-at Puppy Love of Erio and Caro may sort of fit this in that Fate ends up being the legal guardian of both (though Erio is technically under the custody of Fate's adoptive mother Lindy due to her having been too young to put her name on the paperwork). The accompanying StrikerS manga has them repeatedly state that they are technically adopted siblings... while lathering on even more Ship Tease. Unlike other non-blood siblings, they had never met prior to StrikerS, and had no pre-existing sibling relationships (they even begin on a Last-Name Basis).

Batman:
Downplayed, but it does show up twice in the case of the second Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, who is the only sister among Batman's adoptive children before Flashpoint (DC Comics).
It is implied that the fifth Robin, Damian Wayne, had a Precocious Crush on Cassandra, but it is also possible to read the apparent infatuation as something close to hero worship, given that Damian was raised by a secret society that saw her as its savior and didn't meet her until he was ten.
Cassandra was shown to have a romantic interest in Tim Drake when she was controlled by Deathstroke in Teen Titans, which caused quite a bit of backlash, since they had been Like Brother and Sister even before either of them were adopted by Batman.
Back in the early 1980s, DCU stories set on Earth-Two hinted at the mutual attraction between the Huntress (Helena Wayne, Earth-Two Batman's daughter) and the local version of Dick Grayson. It pretty much remained subtext, with both parties insisting all too earnestly that even though they weren't biologically related, their relationship would be too wrong to even contemplate. This was defied in the Justice Society of America story "Thy Kingdom Come", which featured a return visit to a new version of Earth-2. In this reality, Helena realised that she was in love with Dick Grayson after her then-boyfriend DA Harvey Sims was attacked by the Joker, the aging criminal attempting to "recreate" Batman's deceased Rogue's Gallery. Given the circumstances of Sims' disfigurement, Helena feels that she cannot leave him as she never had the chance to say "No" to his proposal, but he has been left crippled and confined to hospital so they can never have a true relationship.

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: This gets briefly discussed if Sol suggests that Tammy's surrogate mother could have been Cal's mother Tirah. Since Cal and Tammy are a Puppy Love pair who become the first people to concieve a child in the colony if Tammy doesn't die as a child, Tammy is quite quick to point out the reasons why her surrogate mother can't be Tirah. This implies that the idea of having been carried by the same woman as Cal makes her uneasy, even if they are otherwise not genetically related at all.

Iris and Barry from The Flash (2014) have been raised together from a relatively young age and Barry thinks of Iris's dad Joe as a second father. Despite being his foster sister, Barry still has had a crush on Iris for a while. Perhaps in an attempt to lessen the potential squick factor, it's explicitly stated by Joe that Barry had a crush on her before he came to live with them and watched Barry be in love with her before he knew what love was. Nobody on the show seems to mind their attraction to each other, either.

Invoked in the Frozen fanfic We Can't Be Wrong Tonight. Elsa and Anna order fake documents created that show that Anna was adopted. The two are biologically sisters, however, they want to be open of their relationship and marry each other. Anna has a resemblance to her father but looks different enough from the rest of the family for it to work.

Perhaps the sickest and overly complicated example imaginable on Passions. Chad who is biracial comes to town and eventually dates Whitney, the daughter of Eve and TC (the only black family in town). Chad is for several years hinted to be the son of Eve and her white lover Julian from before she was married. Later Chad and Whitney have a baby together and the revelation comes out that they are half-brother and half-sister and their baby was born from incest. Later it's revealed that Chad is not really Eve and Julian's long-lost son. It turns out Julian's father Alistair had raped Eve's adopted sister, so Chad's son is not a product of incest - but on the other hand, Chad himself is a product of rape. Even later it is revealed that Chad is having a gay relationship on the down-low with a guy named Vincent... who turns out to be Eve and Julian's hermaphroditic long-lost child for realsies this time... oh and he's a serial killer and a rapist to boot. So yeah Chad didn't sleep with his half-sister... but he did sleep with his girlfriend's half-brother who was also his own half-nephew.

In The Kingdom (DC Comics), Nightstar, the daughter of Nightwing and Starfire, hooks up with Ibn al Xu'ffasch, the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. Nightwing is Batman's adopted son while Ibn al Xu'ffasch is his biological son who wasn't raised by him. When Ibn al Xu'ffasch and Nightstar, fall in love, even though they're technically uncle and niece, this is part of why Nightwing isn't especially happy with their relationship.

On Gargoyles, the title species lives in large clans that are considered to be a single family—nobody keeps track of who their biological parents are, and thus all gargoyles of the same age group refer to each other as their "rookery brothers/sisters" and older members as their "rookery parents." Their mates are usually rookery siblings. With there being many rookery siblings in each generation, naturally they don't all become equally close or in the same way. Word of God says that real incest never occurs, though, because a) each female can only lay one egg per mating cycle, so rookery siblings never include actual siblings except in the rare case of identical twins from the same egg and b) pheromones prevent Kissing Cousin relationships.

Bunny Drop:
Defied, as one of the reasons why Yukari and Daikichi don't end up together is to avoid this trope. Daikichi's adopted daughter and Yukari's son have romantic feelings for each other post-timeskip thus it would create trouble if Yukari and Daikichi were ever married.
Near the end of the manga the characters learn that Rin is not the biological daughter of Daikichi's grandfather after all. This causes Rin and Daikichi to become the Official Couple despite their over twenty-four year age gap and Daikichi raising Rin.

The adaptation of Hercule Poirot's Christmas in Poirot has an avuncular variation. Harry Lee meets an attractive girl only to find out she's his niece Pilar. By the end, though, the girl confesses she's not the real Pilar (who died in a car crash) but her adventuress friend. She and Harry get together by the end. He had a thing for her in the original novel as well, but there she ended up with another man who in the series episode was Adapted Out.

On As the World Turns, its signature supercouple, Holden and Lily, are actually uncle and niece, because her mother was adopted by his family. The ickiness is undercut by the fact that she did not grow up knowing him as her uncle—she and her twin sister, the product of their mother's rape, were themselves given up for adoption.

The Lion King:
We see Nala's mom, but there are constant debates on who Nala's father might be, and thus to what extent she is related to Simba. Scar and Mufasa are the only male lions in the Pride, and—traditionally according to real lion behavior—Mufasa would be father of all the cubs. Barring this, she may be the daughter of Scar, which is uncomfortable for several other reasons. In some drafts (and in the Broadway musical), Scar actually tries to make Nala his consort, which is the real reason she exiled herself from the Pride. You see what the problem with that is. Moreover, in the sequel, Nala and Simba's daughter Kiara hooks up with Scar's adopted son (well... supposedly, see the following bullet-point), which is just as weird. According to The Lion Guard, Nala's father is an unknown male who died or disappeared in unknown circumstances prior to the events of the films. Some fans have been reluctant to accept this explanation (as well as other retcons done by the series) and declare it Fanon Discontinuity altogether.
Nala's paternity aside, her maternity also raises questions. All the female lions in a pride are related—mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, etc. So the paternal line notwithstanding, Simba and Nala's mothers, Sarabi and Sarafina, are kin in their own right, making Simba and Nala related through the maternal line as well (though more distantly).
In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, isn't it convenient that Kovu isn't really Scar's son, making it perfectly okay for him to get it on with his cousin (technically, his first-cousin-once-removed)? This was a last-minute change as Kovu was originally Scar's biological son with a Strong Family Resemblance before the writers realized the minor case of incest in point (some dubs still kept them as cousins, though).

In previous versions of the game Summertime Saga, the characters the Main Character could pursue included some of his family members. Retcon changed them to roommates... less than smoothly. Besides their Strong Family Resemblance, they still treat him and each other like family members. MC describes Debby as "my father's lifelong friend" in the intro, but she was clearly in a relationship with him (she compares MC's penis favorably to his late father's), which just makes her a Lecherous Stepparent instead. His non-sister Jenny also mentions a few times that she's known MC since childhood as a reason she doesn't want to date him.

A source of some discomfort to Shinji in Doing It Right This Time. First he had what he thought was a near-miss with Surprise Incest before the whole Peggy Sue thing happened, but now it turns out Rei wasn't a clone of who everyone thought she was and they're definitely not even siblings by adoption (Rei's pretty emphatic about that) and he has no idea if that makes the time he accidentally saw her naked better or worse. Especially because he has a bit of a thing for Asuka as well.

When Lance reluctantly agrees to go to prom as a group, he decides to invite Ilana if he has to take someone (she points out she's already going with someone). One wonders how they would explain this to the others. Also, their neighbor Barb seems disappointed when she thinks that Lance and Ilana are brother and sister rather than boyfriend and girlfriend. Word of God though intentionally wanted to avoid romance between them mainly to avoid the obvious squick potential.

A Song of Ice and Fire has this a lot, mostly due to the Westerosi custom of fostering their children. Romances between foster-siblings aren't considered anything out of the ordinary and are often encouraged, as it makes the Arranged Marriage that comes after a lot easier to go through with. Kids are usually neonates by the time they're fostered out, and view their foster-siblings as peers and friends, not siblings:
Lord Petyr Baelish played "kissing games" with both his foster-sisters, Catelyn and Lysa Tully. He eventually fought an (unsuccessful) duel for Catelyn's hand—and later married Lysa, though Cat was the one he truly loved.
Tyrion Lannister invokes this deliberately by sending his 9-year-old niece Princess Myrcella Baratheon to live with her fiancé, 11-year-old Prince Trystane Martell, years before they will be old enough to marry.
Prince Quentyn Martell mentions that there was a general expectation that he would marry his foster-sister, Gwynth Yronwood. He doesn't, but it would probably have been better for him if he had…
Although they never interact in-series, Theon Greyjoy remarks once that he'd hoped his foster father Lord Ned Stark might marry him to his foster sister Sansa. He knew it would never happen, but if it hypothetically did, it would confirm his connection to the Starks. Later, when Theon takes Winterfell, he thinks that, if Sansa weren't in King's Landing, he might have forced her to marry him to secure his hold on the castle. Made somewhat squicky since, the last time he saw her, he was 19 and she was 11, and they're only two years older now.
In his youth, King Robert Baratheon was very enthusiastic about being engaged to Lyanna Stark, the bio-sister of his foster brother Ned, at least in part because it would have made him and Ned family by marriage.

Not avoided in an episode of CSI: Miami, where the father of a murdered woman's baby is discovered to be her brother: turns out they met and became step-siblings when their parents married (and the two kids were 18 at the time) and one thing led to another.

Despite the number of possible pairings and the age of the oldest kids when their (step)parents first met, not just subverted but entirely avoided in The Brady Bunch. It is, however, constantly mentioned in any parody of the show. It's also a subplot in the second Brady Bunch movie when they think their parents didn't actually get married.
In a weird meta twist, nearly every actor on the show hooked up with one or more members of their TV family at one point or another.

It's subtly hinted and discussed in Tantei Gakuen Q about the relationship nature of two stepsiblings Tomoe and Ukon Kiriyu in Setsugekka Murder Case. It's apparently one-sided since the side shown to readers is Tomoe's who tries her hardest to prove Ukon's innocence before The Reveal (he was framed as murderer of his other two stepsisters) while Ukon himself pretends to be an airhead as he is suspicious that all his stepsisters and stepmother were involved in his father's past accident. Kazuma assumes the trope is in play and the stepsiblings' father Samon asks what Tomoe thinks of Ukon. Too bad she is the true murderer. While later she admits her feelings for Ukon are real, when Nanami disguising himself as Ukon confronts her about the murder she immediately stabs him.

Big Trouble: Subverted (at least in the book, the ending of the movie is more ambiguous). Matt and Jenny fall in love throughout the events of the book, but the epilogue states that after Matt's dad marries Jenny's mom, dating feels weirder for them, and they eventually decide they're Better as Friends.

Odd subversion in The Firebringer Trilogy: When hero Jan's father Korr flies into a rage over Jan's marriage to the healer's daughter Tek, Jan doesn't understand, until he finds out that Tek's father was not the healer, but actually Korr. This in turn sends Jan into something of a Heroic BSOD, and when he sees Tek again and tells her what he has learned, they agree to renounce their marriage, believing themselves to be half-siblings. Just before they actually do so, Jan's mother steps in and reveals that the pair aren't actually related by blood—Korr is not Jan's father after all.

In the Hallmark movie What The Deaf Man Heard, the main character's love interest mentions to him in passing that her Jerkass brother is the one who revealed to her that she was adopted. Although this is never brought up again, the reason for its inclusion in the script becomes apparent when it comes to light that the main character is the illegitimate son of her adoptive father, and thus the heir to the family fortune.

Code Geass played with this in one of its many Sound Episodes. Shirley goes through a series of Imagine Spots in which her attempts to ask Lelouch out go spectacularly wrong. In one of the imaginary sequences, his ill little sister Nunnally enters the scene and says that they'll be late for the wedding; as Shirley recoils in shock, the pair claim that they're Not Blood Siblings, so it's okay. In reality, Nunnally and Lelouch are blood-related, though they still have Incest Subtext nevertheless.

Hetalia: Axis Powers: In-universe, it's rather unclear how countries are "born" and form physical "relations" with one another, but a few sibling pairs have been confirmed to be unrelated by blood, including:
Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
China and Japan; notable in that the status of China's other siblingsnote Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, and Korea are ambiguous as to if they're related to China by blood.
America and England is a special (and odd) case: When America was a child, England adopted him as a younger brother, but during the American Revolution, the teenage America declares that he's "not [England's] little brother anymore."
Averted with Norway and Iceland—the latter's "DNA testing results" (archaeological excavation) prove that they are, in fact, related.

Interesting variation in the manga Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa when Hiromi gratuitously reminds Makoto (after a lot of borderline incestuous behavior) that they aren't blood cousins, it foreshadows the reveal that Hiromi's adoptive mother is Makoto's biological mother, meaning they aren't blood sisters, either.

Near the end of the first half of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, King Trabant of Thracia kills Quan and Ethlyn and takes their daughter, Altenna, to raise as his own. She ends up falling in love with Trabant's biological son Areone. There's also a bit of the full-blooded version there too: Areone is a descendant of Dain, and Altenna is of Njorun... Dain and Njorun were Brother and Sister. Note that this was a little over a hundred years ago.
Meanwhile, Altenna's actual younger brother, Leif, is raised by Quan's loyal knight Finn. While Genealogy of the Holy War allowed a bit more freedom in pairing non-Lord units than most other early Fire Emblem games, its Interquel Thracia 776 suggests that his canon love interest is Nanna... and also that Finn is canonically her father. (Later material contradicts the latter assertion, saying that Nanna's father is whoever you chose to marry Lachesis in Genealogy of the Holy War and that Finn was more of an adoptive father in the event that he isn't her biological father, but the trope still applies.)

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy II mostly contains only hints of love interests but the No Export for You novel does have Maria harboring feelings for her adopted brother and the story's main character, Firion.
Inverted in Final Fantasy VIII: When Quistis suddenly remembers that she was raised in an orphanage with Squall she stops hitting on him. In fact, Selphie and Irvine are the only ones who actually remain inside their raised-together group for romance. Everyone else from the orphanage looks outside the group for romance, as Zell hooks up with Library Girl and Quistis gets shafted.

Clueless, where Cher realized at the end of the movie that she had been unconsciously harboring feelings for her former stepbrother. Their parents got married when they were both teenagers and later divorced, so technically they weren't related at all at that point. Still, it's a bit odd given that he still considers Mel his father, even calling him "Dad" in his first scene.

Trails of Cold Steel: Elise Schwarzer is in love with her adoptive brother Rean Schwarzer, the main character of this game. The feeling is one-sided since Rean is oblivious to his sister's feelings. Unlike Estelle and Joshua, she doesn't bring it further and this trope becomes one of many sources of comedic moments especially from her best friend. She finally manages to confess her feelings in Cold Steel IV though whether Rean reciprocates or not depends upon the player.

In Marmalade Boy, Miki and Yuu's respective parents swap marriage partners, thus making their children step siblings. The kids fall in love with each other, and though they worry what their parents will think they don't see it as an insurmountable problem. Drama ensues when Yuu discovers some circumstantial evidence suggesting that they are blood siblings, and quickly breaks up with Miki, gets the hell out of town, and leaves them both to suffer. They finally conclude that they still love each other and want to get married, but their parents reveal that it was just a misunderstanding and they're not blood siblings after all, making it a Double Subversion.

When she's introduced, he calls her "Sister" and she affectionately kisses him on the cheek, forcing him to explain to his friends, especially the jealous Katie, that she's his cousin, whom he's lived with since his mother died. We don't find out until years later In-Universe that her family once drugged them both and forced him to impregnate her in the interests of a pure-blooded heir (the pregnancy ended in a stillbirth).

However, as time goes on, she starts fantasizing about and blushing around Yuya even when Hiyori is not there, and getting jealous of any girls that get close to him. Yuya is confused about the whole thing, thinking Mitsuki has a split personality.

In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, isn't it convenient that Kovu isn't really Scar's son, making it perfectly okay for him to get it on with his cousin (technically, his first-cousin-once-removed)? This was a last-minute change as Kovu was originally Scar's biological son with a Strong Family Resemblance before the writers realized the minor case of incest in point (some dubs still kept them as cousins, though).

In My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, the Claes family adopts a distant relative, Keith, to become their new heir when it becomes clear that Katarina won't be able to carry on the family name as she is betrothed to the third prince of the country. Within a few days he falls in love with his new big sister and does his best to protect her, but she's kinda clueless and never gets a hint. Keith's new adoptive mother ends up being won over by him and tries to get Katarina's engagement annulled so that Keith can marry her instead, but has no luck. What the Duke did is practically the standard Japanese practice in his position, because (as discussed in the Real Life section) in ancient Japan, titles of nobilty are strictly transmitted to sons, and not even first cousins.

Princess Silver: Played with. Rong Le wakes up with amnesia and is told Rong Qi is her brother. She continues to think he's her brother for most of the series until she regains her memories. Then she learns they aren't related at all and were lovers before she lost her memories. Rong Qi's mother came up with the idea of making Rong Le think they're siblings to keep them apart.

Love Hina introduced the hitherto unmentioned Kanako, Keitaro's quasi-adopted sister. Ironically Keitaro is the only character who never rationalizes Kanako as being 'fair game', while Naru ends up taking his role of clumsy awkward relationship handler for a period of time because she does.

Fate/stay night:
Although it's pretty much one-sided, there's Shirou Emiya and Ilyasviel von Einzbern. She is the biological daughter of his adoptive father and has an obsession with him that is at least partially romantic. The fact that Word of God has openly stated that she was nearly the fourth romanceable heroine of the game and there are two separate Bad Ends where she magically makes him her slave for life (complete with heavy implications that he is 'that kind' of slave) really doesn't help.
Although the narrative doesn't approve of Shinji Matou's sexual abuse of his adopted sister, it may be an example of the trope.

Approached from the opposite direction by Grace, who, despite being "practically married" to Tedd Verres, claims Tedd's father as her adoptive father.
Averted pointedly when Diane meets Noah. He's the adopted son of her biological father who she barely knows. She's still absolutely horrified when he points out how the way she tackled him looks, and shudders when Lucy asks if he's an ex-boyfriend of hers.

Back in the early 1980s, DCU stories set on Earth-Two hinted at the mutual attraction between the Huntress (Helena Wayne, Earth-Two Batman's daughter) and the local version of Dick Grayson. It pretty much remained subtext, with both parties insisting all too earnestly that even though they weren't biologically related, their relationship would be too wrong to even contemplate. This was defied in the Justice Society of America story "Thy Kingdom Come", which featured a return visit to a new version of Earth-2. In this reality, Helena realised that she was in love with Dick Grayson after her then-boyfriend DA Harvey Sims was attacked by the Joker, the aging criminal attempting to "recreate" Batman's deceased Rogue's Gallery. Given the circumstances of Sims' disfigurement, Helena feels that she cannot leave him as she never had the chance to say "No" to his proposal, but he has been left crippled and confined to hospital so they can never have a true relationship.

In the Lord John Gray spinoffs of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, the main character finds out that his new stepbrother was a guy he used to sleep with. It's awkward, but that apparently doesn't last long, and they're promptly back together. Which is okay, except for the fact that they're living in the 18th century and hence have the appropriate awkwardness. (There was Character Development in there somewhere, but it still managed to squick some readers...)

This trope comes up in Silent Witness in the storyline "Domestic". It's revealed that shortly before she and most of her family members were killed, a woman discovered her teenage daughter and stepson were sleeping together. She was extremely distressed by this and informed her husband, insisting they put a stop to it. However, her husband didn't see what the issue was because their children aren't actually blood related, and he and his second wife married and blended their families a few years ago, as opposed to their kids being raised together as siblings. The woman then revealed the Awful Truth; she's known for years that her stepson is not actually her second husband's child but was in fact fathered by her first husband, who had an affair with the second husband's now-deceased first wife. This means that the supposed stepsiblings are in fact half-siblings. The husband didn't take this well.

Ultraman:
Most of the Ultra Brothers are this. However, it is explained that they are all distantly related to each other in some way, usually as part of extended families. Zoffy, for example, is the King's grandson, and Ultraman Ace is one of Ultraseven's cousins.
This trope is played around with Ultraman Ace and Taro — whilst Ace is an orphan who was adopted by Taro's family, they have such a close brotherly relationship that they might as well be considered blood brothers.
This is averted by Ultraman Leo and Astra, who are blood brothers by all accounts. This status is clearly emphasized by Astra's tendency to yell "NII-SAN!" to Leo whenever he is in danger or being beaten down.

Two examples in Shadowhunters, both involving Jace Wayland:
Jace and Clary Fray begin a relationship, then discover that they are actually brother and sister because Big Bad Valentine Morgenstern is the father of both of them and immediately end the relationship. Later on, it turns out that they are not biological siblings at all, as Valentine, who is Clary's biological father, kidnapped Jace as a baby. So Jace was raised by Michael Wayland who was really Valentine but isn't related to him by blood, and Clary is related to Valentine by blood but wasn't raised by him.
Alec Lightwood initially has a crush on Jace, who has lived with Alec's family since Jace's father died (or rather Valentine faked his own death) when he was 10. Jace does not feel the same way, both because he is straight and because he considers Alec his brother. Alec eventually comes to regard him as just a brother as well, and enters a committed relationship with Magnus Bane.

Battlestar Galactica (2003):
Kara Thrace and Lee Adama are not biologically related, but they consider the same person to be their father (Bill Adama) and Kara was engaged to Lee's dead brother Zak. Kara's father Dreilide disappeared from her life when she was a little girl. Kara's and Lee's interactions wildly vary between very close, occasionally juvenile best friends and a highly-charged sexual relationship. In fact, they nearly cheated on Zak while drunk the first time they met.
Also any sexual relations between the seven models of humanoid Cylons, such as Boomer/Cavil and Caprica/D'Anna, as well as the failed attempts at Cylon breeding offscreen (their religion mandates "be fruitful", but their tinkered biology is such that breeding with each other simply doesn't work), since they all refer to each other as "brother" and "sister" and have the same "parents" in the Final Five, but don't actually share DNA except for the copies of the same model, who are of course genetically identical. Also, Cavil is basically a clone of Ellen's father, so unless there was some sort of unspecified genetic tampering going on, they were indeed blood related.

Trails Series has two examples.
Trails in The Sky: Joshua was brought in by Cassius Bright at the beginning of the game (around 5 years prior to the game's timeline) so that Cassius can raise him as his adoptive son and his daughter Estelle's adoptive brother. Joshua's feelings toward Estelle are subtly hinted throughout the first game and Estelle slowly realizes her own feelings too, except for a certain problem: Joshua is an assassin from Ouroboros sent to assassinate Estelle's father and then to unknowingly spy on Bright Family after the expected failure. The sheer guilt he has makes Joshua leave his families and friends including Estelle right after she confesses. Thankfully, they get better.
Trails of Cold Steel: Elise Schwarzer is in love with her adoptive brother Rean Schwarzer, the main character of this game. The feeling is one-sided since Rean is oblivious to his sister's feelings. Unlike Estelle and Joshua, she doesn't bring it further and this trope becomes one of many sources of comedic moments especially from her best friend. She finally manages to confess her feelings in Cold Steel IV though whether Rean reciprocates or not depends upon the player.

In Season 1, Veronica Mars finds out that her mother and the father of her ex-boyfriend Duncan Kane were High-School Sweethearts who may have continued their relationship as an extra-marital affair... meaning that she and Duncan may or may not be half-siblings. This revelation leads her to pull her car over and puke on the side of the road. Luckily, the paternity test that her father has done proves that she and Duncan aren't related. A few months later, they resume their relationship. However, according to Word of God, Duncan was supposed to be Veronica's half-brother for real, but the network wouldn't let them put Actually-Blood-Siblings sex on the air, so it was originally meant to be a complete (and squicky) subversion of the trope.

An integral part of the plot of some arcs in the Tsukihime game. Shiki and Akiha met when they were seven and six years old, respectively, lived together for two years, and then separated for eight, somewhat short of "growing up together." Akiha knew the whole time that Shiki wasn't her real brother, and Shiki was at least vaguely aware of it, even admitting to himself once that his protective instinct towards her didn't really seem like sibling love. Needless to say, that really only comes into play during Akiha's arc. The fact that they are not related is important in all the arcs due to the events that occurred ten years with SHIKI, the real brother of Akiha.

The heads of the GameFAQs group "The yusketeers" Yusiko and Yukito can't have a conversation without sexual tension showing up somewhere. Apparently, people have a Venn diagram just to tell them apart. Some say that the sheer sexual tension that permeates any room the two are in is enough to stun a horse.

In the White Indian series, the relationship and later marriage of the second El-i-chi and Ah-wa-o is considered problematic by the elder matrons of the Seneca tribe due to the marriage of El-i-chi's mother Toshabe and Ah-wa-o's father Ha-ace.

Hiro and Karada in Living for the Day After Tomorrow; not taken to a romantic end, but still important to the plot. It's implied in the manga (but left unmentioned in the anime) that while not siblings, they ARE blood-related, but Karada never knows (she would be the daughter of Hiro and his aunt conceived just before he went to study in the US).

In R.O.D the TV Michelle, Maggie, and Anita are "sisters in law" rather than actual sisters, though this is more for plot reasons than pairing them together.

In the 4th movie of the Dollanganger series, Seeds of Yesterday, adoptive siblings Bart and Cindy do fall in love and eventually marry, but the narrative's framing of this is actually a Subverted Trope. After a great deal of UST, when they first hook up, Cindy justifies the relationship by invoking the trope.

Yuri and Kira from Infinite Space insist that they are siblings while everyone around them thinks they're just very close friends who have a thing for each other. Yuri even gets someone to do DNA tests that reveal they have no blood relationship. They're Artificial Humans created by extra-dimensional aliens and they're only "siblings" because that's the first relationship that popped into Yuri's head at the beginning. A previous scene established that he had no relatives at all to leave behind when he went into space.

Last Call: the protagonist marries his foster-sister (at that point the full-fledged earthly representation of a syncretic moon goddess). Mythologically speaking, they can't really win the game (as it were) without marrying; the Squick factor is potentially mitigated (or greatly enhanced) by the fact that the protagonist was fifteen or sixteen when his sister was born and at the time of the novel hasn't seen her since she was a child.

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, male Robin can marry Aversa, the indentured servant of Robin's biological father, Validar. They never met each other before the events of the game and Validar never considered Aversa's family, but this doesn't stop Aversa from calling Robin "Big Brother" as a joke, which Robin detests as he they aren't related in the slightest as her relationship with Validar was purely professional.

Inverted in Final Fantasy VIII: When Quistis suddenly remembers that she was raised in an orphanage with Squall she stops hitting on him. In fact, Selphie and Irvine are the only ones who actually remain inside their raised-together group for romance. Everyone else from the orphanage looks outside the group for romance, as Zell hooks up with Library Girl and Quistis gets shafted.

Baldur's Gate:
Fans frequently debate whether a relationship between the PC and Imoen, both Children of the dead god Bhaal, would "count" as incest. Those who favor the relationship usually point out that the PC is often a different race from her, and that canonically they are known to not have the same mother so that their main connection is definitely not any mortal source. (This is even brought up in the expansion Throne of Bhaal in a discussion between her and one of the other party members; Viconia suggests she should serve the main character in every way he desires for all that he's done for her, and why it shouldn't be a problem. Imoen balks at the thought and finds the idea disgusting... and then turns the question back on Viconia, who's also been canonically saved twice by the protagonist and is a romance option). Ultimately irrelevant, as she isn't a romantic option in the game... unless you mod it.
The same argument is made for the female PC and Sarevok, who are also Children of Bhaal from different mothers. It's a little easier to defend, since Throne of Bhaal makes it clear that Sarevok no longer has the Essence of Bhaal, and that was how he was related to her. Once again, it's irrelevant since he's not a vanilla romance option.

In Sword Art Online, Suguha has had a strong but secret crush on her older brother Kazuto (better known by his screen name Kirito). It's mentioned that Suguha's parents are actually Kazuto's aunt and uncle, who adopted him into their family when his parents died in an accident, meaning that he and Suguha are actually first cousins rather than true blood siblings. However, it's pointed out that Suguha knows that since they were raised together, the rest of her family would oppose them getting together, which is why she tries to get over Kazuto.

Dr. STONE has a particularly absurd example: At the end of Part 1, protagonist Senku ends up engaged to Ishigami Village's high priestess Ruri, who then reveals that the village is descended from the only six survivors of the "Stone Beam"—including Senku's own father Byakuya Ishigami, with Ruri implied to be a descendant of him and American pop singer Lilian Weinberg. Shortly thereafter Senku reveals that Byakuya isn't his birth father, which some readers felt was unnecessary since over 3700 years have passed since then, and Senku wasn't interested in her (or any other villager) in the first place.

The animated adaptation of Pop Team Epic features a parody of such stories, titled Don't Call Me 'Sister'! (Or IMO YOBA for short). Heroine Iyo Sakuragi and her popular crush Hojo are suddenly made into siblings due to their parents (Pipimi and Popuko) remarrying each other, and the story follows some typical plot beats of the pair trying and failing to be a regular family. Their problem, however, lies not with each other, but their parents; eventually Iyo gets so fed up with them that the story takes a turn for the violent.

A downplayed version appears in How I Met Your Mother. In "The Locket", Robin and Barney are horrified by the revelation that they share a crazy cousin two days before their wedding, potentially making them Kissing Cousins. However, eventually they are relieved to learn that neither of them are actually related to the cousin by blood.

In Hot Gimmick, Hatsumi is unaware for a large portion of the series that her brother Shinogu is adopted. Shinogu, however, is aware and even moves out of their family's apartment as part of a plan to make Hatsumi see him as more than a brother. His compassionate nature also arguably makes him a preferable match for Hatsumi, compared to her Jerkass boyfriend Ryoki.
The novel has a Shinogu/Hatsumi ending, for those of us who thought the manga's ending was TEH FAIL.

In ElfQuest, it is hinted at in the comic, and expressly stated by the Word of God, that Cutter and Skywise have had sexual relationships. It is also mentioned in the comic that they are "brothers in all but blood." Of course, the elves are said to not have the same concept of relationship as (modern Western) humans do, even though nearly all of them are paired in "life bonds" (i.e., marriages).

Before Suske en Wiske featured both titular characters, it was Rikki en Wiske, starring Rikki, his younger sister Wiske, and their aunt Sidonia, who raises them. It was found that Wiske was the strongest character of the cast and to give her more emphasis Rikki was replaced by Suske, an orphan Wiske and Sidonia met on their next adventure and who joined their family. Very, very, very few comics handle differences in their lineages and for any casual reader, Suske and Wiske appear siblings by blood. This caused a lot of disturbing scenes where Wiske is jealous of Suske's success with other girls and a case of Brother–Sister Incest appeared to be going on.

Arthur and Morgana in Merlin. Morgana was raised as the ward of Arthur's father King Uther after her father Gorlois, his best friend, died. No expressed romantic interest on either side, but definite sparks and Ship Tease, and Morgana's handmaiden Gwen states that Morgana will surely be queen one day. Then in "The Crystal Cave", it's revealed that they are blood siblings, as Uther had an affair with Gorlois's wife! Though technically, that's been an It Was His Sled for several hundred years now.

Nao, on the other hand, is actually slightly disappointed to find out that they're Not Blood Siblings, because it makes their attraction to each other less taboo.note she quickly gets over this when it occurs to her that this means she can openly date and marry him.

In the Mega Man Legends universe, Rock (Mega Man) is literally Roll's adopted brother, yet romantic hints exist. Fans debate whether the original series Rock (Mega Man) having a relationship with Roll would count as incest, as their original incarnations are both robots and no genetics are involved, despite being "siblings" created by the same man. Roll's battle with Copy Roll in Mega Man Powered Up supports this trope as Roll's copy says that she'll confess Roll's feelings to Rock. MegaMan NT Warrior Rock and Roll have no familial relation at all.

Justin and Rebecca on Brothers & Sisters. When they met they believed they were half-siblings, but when she did a paternity test it turned out that they weren't, and then they became a couple. Which is a case of the familial relationship being changed in order to facilitate the romantic relationship. Unlike that one, however, the original plan was not to have them in a relationship, but the chemistry between the actors was so strong that it became impossible to not see them as a couple.

Richie and Margot in The Royal Tenenbaums are a somewhat more realistic treatment, as their relationship is considered inappropriate despite everyone knowing that Margot is adopted. Interestingly, Anderson had originally intended for this to be an aversion, based on a real-life friend who was in love with his own sister. It was changed late in the process when Anderson came up with the Running Gag of Royal introducing her to everybody he knows as "my adopted daughter, Margot Tenenbaum."

The Guilty Mother by Pierre Beaumarchais (the less famous of the two sequels to The Barber of Seville) revolves around a pair of young lovers: Leon, the son of the Count and Countess Almaviva, and Florestine, Almaviva's ward. It's revealed that Florestine is the Count's illegitimate daughter, which would make her Leon's half-sister — but then it's established that Leon is the product of an affair and the Count is not his biological father, meaning that he and Florestine are not related after all.
