The "Real Family" trope

[mhalachai]

It occurred to me last night that I have a real weakness for writing "real family" crossovers. I know, it's not like it's a big secret or anything, because you've all read these fic things, but I think it's time for a list.

Real Family fics (to date) by Mhalachai

Inevitable (Anita Blake/Harry Potter): Harry Potter is Damian's grandson.

Physics of the Spin (Gilmore Girls/Stargate): Rory Gilmore is Rodney McKay's daughter.

Hey Little Sister (Supernatural/Stargate Atlantis): Elizabeth Weir is John Winchester's cousin.

Obituary (Anita Blake/Buffy the Vampire Slayer): Nathaniel Graison is Joyce Summers' nephew.

Secrets series (Firefly/Merry Gentry): Inara Sera is the ever-so-great-granddaughter of Merry Gentry and Doyle.

Demons, Eh? (Supernatural): Sam Winchester is the spawn of the Celine Demon.

The Roadhouse Series (Angel/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Supernatural): Angel and Ellen Harvelle are parents to lil' Jo Harvelle.

Outside Looking In (Anita Blake/Supernatural): Sarah Blake (SPN) is cousin to Anita Blake.

Dark Vancouver Nights (Harry Potter/Tanya Huff's Smoke books): Harry Potter and Lee Nicholas are distant cousins.

Mirror'd Through the Rift (Torchwood/Dr. Who): Gwen Cooper is the twin sister of Gwyneth, servant girl in 1869 Cardiff.

I need some srs help. Either that, or I need to challenge myself to write more of these lovely crazy stories.

To tell a secret, most of my family!fics are the result of baby!fic. I tend to start off there and work backwards.

One day I will probably end up writing one of those kid@fics out....

Heh. Like I said a great deal (maybe 85%) of my fics are kid-based. I even have one X-files story that is almost completely the kids. Only they aren't really kids, they are adults (20 and 28 repectively). I have an Angel series that is based aroudn Spike's daughter Lizzie. My Doctor Who fic (whenever it finally decides to actually get written...right now its complete in my head but its refusing to be written) has the doctor and Rose having a daughter.

I really need to stop that.
