Usually, when writers create sibling romantic relationships, if they go the route of Not Blood Siblings or Flirty Stepsiblings, they have them be stepsiblings first. This adds to the Forbidden Fruit appeal and increases the tension. Some stories, on the other hand, do it differently. If two characters are already in a relationship (sometimes even having kids of their own), and their parents get together, things will understandably be awkward. Note that a relationship between the parents doesn't need to actually happen, just the characters discussing/imagining the possibility is enough. Related to Double In-Law Marriage and Tangled Family Tree, though both couples don't need to be married. |

Gilmore Girls: A variation, and zig-zagged. Luke and Lorelai are the overarching Will They or Won't They? couple of the series, with their attraction implied from the pilot. In season 2, Luke gets custody of his nephew, Jess, who is the same age Lorelai's daughter, Rory. Rory and Jess quickly form a Commonality Connection around books and briefly date. Luke and Lorelai are a Will They or Won't They? couple until almost the very end. Rory and Jess are Star-Crossed Lovers who can't get the timing right. These two love stories weave in and out both in the series proper and the revival—though there isn't a time in either series where both couples are dating at the same time. Subverted in that the relation is never discussed and it's a non-issue in-universe. Luke and Jess being nephew/uncle and Rory and Lorelai being mother/daughter actually plays heavily into the Like Parent, Like Spouse Love Triangle set up at the end of the revival. However, the fact that Luke and Lorelai marry at the end of the revival, making Jess and Rory step-cousins, was enough to make some newer fans jump ship. | |

In one episode of The Simpsons, Homer is opposed to the thought of his dad marrying Marge's mom, because he thinks this would cause their kids to be inbred. | |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: When Gina and Boyle break off their Friends with Benefits fling before Valentine's Day, they are horrified to realize they accidentally set their single parents up in the same romantic hotel room together, since each took their child's reservation. It gets more awkward when Boyle's father and Gina's mother decide to move in together. While the two initially try to break their parents up, they see how happy their parents are together, and even help them get married. Later subverted when Gina forces her cheating mother to divorce Boyle's dad. Boyle's tendency to use Accidental Innuendo does not help matters. | |

Scream: The TV Series: Emma and Kieran have a Will They or Won't They? relationship for most of the first season, at the same time his father Clark and her mother Maggie, who are already Old Flames, dance around the same trope. Eventually they all realize they're dating around the same time, and end up accepting it and having a family dinner/double date. The only reason things don't work out is because Clark is killed by Ghostface, and in season 2 Kieran is revealed to be Ghostface himself. | |

The The Fairly OddParents! episode Big Wanda has Mama Cosma (Cosmo's mom) and Big Daddy (Wanda's dad) fall in love with each other. Considering their respective children have been married for 9000 years, Cosmo is appropriately squicked out. In the end, it's subverted since the series doesn't show their relationship going past attraction. | |

Gossip Girl zigzags this every which way with teens Serena and Dan and their parents Lily and Rufus. First Serena and Dan meet in their late teens and begin to date. Then Lily and Rufus marry. But also Lily and Rufus are Old Flames who dated — even had a kid together — back in the day before Serena and Dan were born. Serena and Dan are okay with the technically-stepsiblings-but-not-really-in-any-meaningful-sense thing, but having a shared half-sibling is a bit much for them. Then Lily and Rufus divorce. Then Dan and Serena get back together and end up marrying in the finale. | |
