Siblings Mini-Challenge: Family Matters 2025

 What is Family Matters?
Unrelated to the sitcom (or anything else, actually), Family Matters is a mini challenge focused on sibling relationships. Whether that be traditional, half, foster/adoptive, or step siblings, siblings of all kinds are welcome. For the purposes of this mini challenge, I am excluding found family (unless there are sibling relationships within) and “I see them as a sibling” relationships (unless, of course, that statement is meant to be literal.) As I won’t be policing anything, please use your best interest and feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.

What about incest?
This is NOT the incest mini challenge. Someone made one last year and I'm hoping, for all interested, that it's continues on. However, nothing and no one is stopping you from signing up to both if that’s what you want.

What if [character]’s sibling isn’t in the tagset?
Good news! As long as at least one sibling is in the tagset (and you’re requesting them), this won’t be a problem.

Fandoms & Requested Characters + Their Siblings (not necessary, but it might help to put if they’re in the tagset or not/if you’re requesting them):
Cynster Family Saga - Stephanie Laurens - Sebastian Cynster, Michael Cynster and Louisa Cynster (I'm requesting them all)
CU Hockey Series - Eden Finley & Saxon James - Asher Dalton and Westly Dalton (I'm requesting both of them but I'd love for the other Daltons to show up)
Prompts (optional):
Cynster Family Saga prompt: I want some good explanation for Louisa being known as Lady Wild and how much exactly she has been privy to her brothers' business before the events of the Devil's Brood trilogy. She's obviously been a grande dame in the making since she was a teething baby on her father's lap. So I guess there are many reasons for the moniker. Alternatively, I’d like something about the siblings after they are all married and settled, could be a simple family gathering or assisting Drake with one of his missions.

CU Hockey prompt: Bring on the Dalton family shenanigans. I like the dynamic of them two as brothers, especially in relation with their younger siblings. Like how did they deal with Emmett and Bennett being queer? How well does Asher manage to keep in touch with his family when he's playing professional hockey? Alternatively, it could be something about Asher and Westly while Westly was still playing in NHL and Asher was going for the draft.
