Finished up my draft for the Gencest Big Bang last night and was thinking about what makes a really good gencest fic. Because it's gen, it can be written so broadly but with gencest, I think of all the intense canon moments that hit me in the gut (brother hugs, saving each other no matter the cost, the face touching and hair petting that comes out of desperation) and all the juicy fanon stuff like platonic bed sharing and jealousy.

What are your favorite gencest tropes?

Come have a big slice of H/C cake, on Sam!

I love the way this is set up this time!

I’m so excited!

Look at that face. How can I not write something for that face.
