Ok let's imagine Will and Hannibal moved in a Mediterranean place, in a house on the beach. Obviously Will loves to be in the water and go snorkeling and admire the pretty fish.
Hannibal is not really a fan. He loves swimming but in pools where he can see what lives beneath him. As a predator himself, he needs to be constantly aware of his surroundings and asses the potential harm. Will tells him every night about the many types of fish he has seen that day.
One day however Will convinces him to come into the water. He promises him there is nothing to be afraid of, there are only harmless fish. Hannibal gives in.
The water is nice. And clear enough. And Will promises to report every weird thing he sees beneath them. They don't go where they can't touch the bottom.
"I have to admit, Will, it's not that bad."
Will doesn't reply but takes off his snorkeling glasses.
"What else is there?" Hannibal asks seeing the mixed feelings on Will's face.
"Nothing. A couple of fish."
"Will. What did you see."
"Just don't move, okay?"
Hannibal is frozen instantly. Him, the apex predator, is facing a potential death threat and he doesn't even know what it is.
"You promised." He whispers as a small grin appears on Will's face.
"I promised nothing will harm you underwater. I never made any promises about myself though."
Before Hannibal can react, Will has already "attacked" him, pulling him underneath. Now that his attacker has made himself known, Hannibal has no issue with fighting back, especially because it's the idiot that he had fallen for.
At least their little fight had for sure scared any underwater predator.
By the end of the day they are both cuddling in their bed, Will's head resting on Hannibal's chest.
"By the way, there was a moray eel right next to your left foot. I attacked you to scare it away. Did you know they have really bad eyesight and-"
"Are you telling me this just now?"
"You would have freaked out and where would that have led? You are okay, aren't you?"
"I could have been dead by now."
"No way. Do you think I would have let that happen on my watch? I would have killed it with my bare hands and then I would have cooked it for you."
Hannibal is pleased with Will's answer. However he still prefers to stay on the shore.

i didn't see this one on any of your masterlists or tags, but in the novel "exquisite corpse" by the author formerly known as poppy z. brite, a minor character with hiv/aids tells one of the leads that he contracted it because of his consensual relationship with his brother. it's really not focused on enough to be very shippable but i thought it was very sweet and tragic!
I have an obscure tag "a little thing" to refer to when incest is only briefly mentioned and neither of the characters or only one appear onscreen or as a present character in a written work, if that makes sense. So it sounds like this would fall under that. But for a little thing it packs a big punch. Sweet and tragic is right.

Perhaps this is Grian's punishment.
After all, the first time he chose a side was his choice.
The second time he wasn't even supposed to be there yet he once again broke the rules and placed himself into the game.
This time, oh this time it feels like he's being punished. The soul bond is strong, burning brighter than any of the others. It's unbreakable, he knows that much. He follows the barebly visible, to his eyes, line all the way to where it connects, to the other. And of course, Scar is oblivious to it all.

Nếu hai đứa mình cùng thích nhau thì sao, anh nhỉ? Vài lời chúc cho nhau những điều tuyệt nhất, rồi xuân qua xuân lại đến, khi ấy mình thành đôi.
Nếu chỉ mình em rung động thì sao, anh nhỉ? Vài cái xuân qua, chúc người một chút ngọt ngào, một chút ấm áp, và một đời an yên.

Fabulous rec
In reference to this ask and then this one, I watched the French movie The Flower of Evil (La fleur du mal). It's a drama from 2003 about a wealthy family with a lot of secrets.
We're introduced to the blended Charpin-Vasseur family. Gerard, the father, is a philanderer who doesn't approve of his wife's political career. She's running for mayor. He has married his brother's widow, Anne, and is a widower himself. He has a son, Francois, from his first marriage, who has just returned from spending several years in the US, and Anne has a daughter from her first marriage, Michele. So Francois and Michele are both stepsiblings and first cousins. And they're in love!
But there's more!
Michele's father and Francois' mother were killed in a car crash together. (I'm not sure how old the kids were – old enough to remember them but still pretty young.) We learn that they were having an affair. And Francois quite literally overheard his mother tell Gerard that he wasn't Francois' father. So, like the anon in the ask said, it's strongly implied that Michele's father, Gerard's brother, Anne's first husband, is actually Francois' father too, and that he and Michele are half-siblings.
But there's more!
It's kind of hard to describe the plot of the movie. We're at the climax of Anne's campaign for mayor. Someone has put out a leaflet airing the family's dirty laundry and the kids suspect it may have been Gerard. The movie is also about Francois' homecoming. But I think the big idea here is that this family seems cursed to repeat the past.
The family tree still isn't totally clear to me. And I was paying such close attention! But there's a character, Aunt Line (short for Micheline), who I think is Anne's aunt. She was acquitted of murdering her own father, but is still strongly suspected of having done it. So the family in the present is really just the five of them – Gerard, Anne, Aunt Line, and Francois and Michele. Aunt Line is everyone's favorite, and is a sweet lady. But she confesses to Michele that she did kill her father. She had several reasons to hate him, because he worked with the Nazis during WWII and did some really horrible things. But the main reason seems to be that he allowed his son, Line's brother, to die when he joined the resistance. It's not fully explained but it's implied there's something he could have done to stop it. So Line was avenging her brother, who was also named Francois. But more importantly, we learn that Line and Francois were in love. She says that he loved her as much as she loved him. She tells this to Michele.
And then at the climax of the movie, Gerard is drunk and comes on to Michele. I'm pretty sure she's his niece but that's never commented on. He's really aggressive and she ends up hitting him with a lamp and I think he hits the corner of the desk on his way down and his killed. So Line helps Michele arrange the scene and is going to take the fall for it. We don't really see the consequences of all that. But anyway, we see the repetition in the family – another Francois, another father murdered, another incestuous set of siblings. That was my take, anyway.
Unfortunately we don't see Line and Francois, it's just older Line talking about it.
The main reason I'm confused about the family tree is because I felt like it was implied that the Charpins and the Vasseurs have intermarried before? Maybe not. But Francois says something about Charpins always loving Vasseurs, or vice verse.
This is a tough gray area, because we can't say for sure 100% that they're half-siblings, but it's certainly STRONGLY implied. I think I'll just run with it and say that they are.
The Francois/Michele romance is truly a beautiful thing. They're totally in love and supportive of each other, and it's a really big part of the movie. Francois tells her that he has loved her since he was 13. He left for the US in part because of her, and she says she tried to date while he was gone but only wanted him. But they don't get together until the events of the movie, it was always just understood but not acted on. They're not very discreet.
Anne might be too busy to notice, but everyone else knows they're together. His arm is basically always around her, and hours after he gets home the two of them run off to Aunt Line's beach house for the weekend.
Also, I didn't know that lamprey was a dish. They eat it at the beginning of the movie. You learn something every day.
