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.

Are siblings-in-law within the definition of this challenge? If so, I have a request that matches! (If not, please let me know and I'll take this down.)

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): An Age of Kings (1960), requesting Henry "Hotspur" Percy; not in the tagset, but one prompt is for his relationship with his brother-in-law, Edmund Mortimer
Prompts (optional): A lot of my prompts for Hotspur focus around his relationship with his family, and one character whose perspective on him I'm interested in is his brother-in-law, Edmund Mortimer, on whose behalf he raises a rebellion against the king, even though Mortimer himself seems a bit carried away by events. While my requested character is Hotspur, there would definitely also be a lot of room for exploring the relationship between Edmund and his sister Kate, Hotspur's wife--especially since it seems they're trying to protect her by not telling her about the rebellion, when she very much wants to know.
