Settle for Sibling	comment	A very simple Love Trope. Bob falls in love with Alice, but Alice does not reciprocate. Bob eventually marries her sister Carol. Look out for when this overlaps with Double In-Law Marriage. This can entail a Betty and Veronica situation, where a quiet Betty whom he would never have noticed in the ordinary run of things comes to his attention when his prolonged wooing of Veronica means he sees a lot of her and so comes to notice her profound but not paraded virtues. Similarly, any other pair of contrasting siblings where one is immediately attractive but either has hidden flaws or is just not interested, and the other has Hidden Depths (such as a Miles Gloriosus and The So-Called Coward) can produce this trope. Or a situation where Bob and Carol are the same age, Alice much older, and Bob's interest is a Precocious Crush while Carol is still immature; growing up makes Carol mature and Bob notice her. This could also, more tragically, lead to a case of Replacement Goldfish, where the sibling can start to view themselves as a "Consolation Prize." May overlap with Give the Baby a Father, especially in historical settings; marrying the woman pregnant with your brother's child not only protects her from the scandal but makes the child legally part of the family. See also Does He Have a Brother? and DoppelgÃ¤nger Replacement Love Interest. Love Father, Love Son is similar but with a generational difference. If the timing of when feelings change isn't ideal, look out for the Sibling Triangle. Has nothing to do with settling for siblings (that would be Twin Threesome Fantasy or similar), or someone who decides to settle for their own sibling, yikes.

Settle for Sibling / int_16fc4335	comment	An unusual variant from the Heralds of Valdemar series. Shortly after her father's death young Queen Selenay of Valdemar is charmed by Prince Thanel of Rethwellan and finds herself in a miserable marriage that ends when she is widowed in a "hunting accident"note his kinsmen knew he had died during the attempted assassination of his wife, but also knew him and were happy to sweep the matter under the rug rather than deal with the political complications. Some 15 years later, Selenay met her late husband's younger brother Daren in person for the first time and they fell for each other on the spot.

Her shyer, more modest, and withdrawn sister is a much better match... as the rabbi discovers when he eventually arrives in town, takes one glimpse of the younger sister, and falls hopelessly in love with her, without having even met his intended bride. He ends up marrying her instead.

Settle for Sibling / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War alludes to this twice: Briggid fears that either Jamke or Midayle will pull this on her since they both had Bodyguard Crushes on her younger twin sister Edain. Her love talks with both dudes have them saying this isn't the case. Lewyn/Erinys plays with the trope; Lewyn had a major crush on Erinys' sister Annand when he was young, but in a talk event he tells her he's over it and truly wants to be with Erinys now. This is optional in Fire Emblem Fates. In Saizo and Kagero's supports, it is mentioned that the two were once a couple, but due to their differences in how they handled being Prince Ryoma's retainers, they ultimately decided to end their relationship so that it would not get in the way of their service. Kagero can then marry Saizo's younger twin brother Kaze, whose calm personality is much more similar to hers. Due to the open-ended nature of supports in the game, however, she can just as well rekindle her relationship with Saizo. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Ingrid was set to be in a Perfectly Arranged Marriage with Glenn before he was killed. One of her potential paired endings is with his brother Felix, which results in them marrying in the epilogue.

Settle for Sibling / int_696b75c2	comment	A Brother's Price: Due to male Gender Rarity Value, the sisters of a family marry one mannote usually all of them, though families that can afford to do so may split the sisters in half and get two husbands, so a man cannot settle for sibling, he gets all of them or none. However, the trope comes up twice in the story. Averted with the Porter sisters, who offer for Jerin but seem unwilling to consider one of his (not yet of age) brothers, or any of his (close to him in age but not of age yet) cousins, despite it being an arranged marriage, anyway. (Though they do appreciate Jerin's good looks.) Cira, a princess and one of Jerin's future wives, believes that it's because so far, only Jerin has been openly acknowledged as a grandson of the late Prince Alannon by the Queens. The Porters are attempting to assassinate the princesses and seize the throne through virtue of being a prominent noble family and because their late brother was married to the princesses (it having been established earlier that inheritances can go to the family of a husband if all legitimate heirs are deceased). Having Jerin, the only officially recognized male descendant of Prince Alannon and the only one currently of age to marry, as their husband would bolster their claim to the throne by letting them point out that as Jerin is the grandson of prince Alannon, the royal lineage would still be carried on through their children. Cullen Moorland, a minor character, ends up betrothed to Jerin's older sisters. He would like to get his sisters married to a brother of his wives, for a Double In-Law Marriage that would allow him frequent contact with his sisters and because they would give their husband the aristocratic lifestyle that Cullen saw wowed Jerin and his sisters in the beginning, but is willing to settle for Jerin's cousin Dail, who is nearly of age to be married.

Margaery Tyrell marries Tommen Baratheon after their original betrothed is killed at their wedding. Catelyn Tully is originally engaged to Brandon Stark. But after Brandon is killed by Aerys Targaryen, his responsibility to marry the Tully girl passes to his younger brother Eddard. This turns out to be a Perfectly Arranged Marriage, as they grow to be perfectly happy with each other and have a household of several children. Littlefinger seems to be happy with Lysa Tully, as he can't have her sister Catelyn until he pushes Lysa off a ledge out of the Eyrie. Later on, he decides to go after the far more disturbing "Settle for Daughter" with Catelyn's daughter Sansa. Made even squickier by the fact that Sansa is posing as his daughter, under the false name Alayne Stone, by that point.

Eventually, he ends up in a relationship with her older sister Deirdre after (ironically enough) he had initially come to her for advice about Phoebe. Their relationship ultimately turns out to be a genuinely stable one, with Deirdre being a legitimate Second Love for Ryan, who is a Nice Guy that treats her with respect. A deconstruction happens in the case of Joe's parents James and Hildegarde. James was initially in love with Hildegarde's sister Melissa but Melissa was more focused on her schoolwork and ambitions of being a successful business owner and had no desire for a relationship. He and Hildegarde developed a friendship along the way and the two of them took a liking to each other and began dating. However, Jim never really got over Melissa. Then he met a younger woman named Erin during a business trip while he was going through a self-described "midlife crisis" of sorts and left his family, admitting to Hildegard that he sometimes felt like their marriage was a sham from the start.

The opening credits play out over a bizarre, dialogue-free sequence in which the bride and groom, Gerry and Tom, seem to be in two contradictory situations at once. We later learn that Gerry and Tom are both one of a pair of identical twins, and Gerry's sister was engaged to Tom's brother. However, Gerry also loved Tom's brother and decided to take her sister's place at the altar... not knowing that Tom had taken his brother's place at the altar so he could marry Gerry's sister. So even though Gerry and Tom weren't initially in love with each other, they both settled for the siblings of the people they really loved. After five years of marriage, Gerry decides Tom would be better off without her and plans to divorce him and marry a rich man who can bankroll Tom's business idea. She meets such a man on a train to Palm Beach, John D. Hackensacker III. As they haven't formally divorced yet, Tom pursues Gerry to win her back, but she forces him to go along with her scheme, leaving the door open for Hackensacker's sister, the Princess Centimillia, to pursue him. When Tom and Gerry decide not to divorce after all, they reveal to the ecstatic Hackensacker siblings that they each have identical twin siblings. In the final scene, Tom's very confused-looking brother is marrying the Princess and Gerry's equally confused-looking sister is marrying John.

However, despite Rosalie initially being willing and attempting to charm him, Edward did not care for her at all, which hurt her pride. Some years later, Rosalie found a grievously injured Emmett in the woods, begging Carlisle to turn him into a new vampire. Emmett took the Cullen surname and their cover story is that he's Edward's brother. The reason why Leah Clearwater is cold and aloof is that her relationship with Sam Uley, leader of the werewolf pack, broke down when he imprinted on Emily Young. Emily is only Leah's second cousin, but they were close like sisters when they were young.

Helo fell in love with Athena, a copy of the same Cylon model as Boomer, when they were set up together by the Cylons on the planet Caprica, thinking that she was Boomer.

Settle for Sibling / int_d50eae16	comment	According to A Man for All Seasons, Thomas More preferred out of the two, the sister of the woman he married, but chose her because "it was the right thing to do." He, uh, didn't elaborate. In Real Life, his motive was that an older sister would, at the time, have found it very humiliating to have a younger sister married first. And they were very happy.

Settle for Sibling / int_da89c5dd	comment	Happens in Mahabharata. King Vichitravirya of Kuru died childless, leaving behind two wives, Ambika and Ambalika. In keeping with the ancient Vedic custom of niyoga, the two were "passed down" to Vichitravirya's maternal half-brother, Vyasa. Vyasa's union with Ambika conceived Dhritarashtra (father of the one hundred Kauravas), while his union with Ambalika conceived Pandu (father of the five Pandavas). However, both boys were legally considered Vichitravirya's heirs and succeeded him as kings of Kuru.
