Don't know if it's ever been written, but I imagine it has: a brother and sister who love sleeping with each other, but don't want to be looked down on by society. So they move to a new town (new country, maybe?) where nobody knows them, and present themselves as husband and wife.

Other than the obviously hot incest sex that would ensue, where would the drama come from? Maybe somebody from their past recognizes them? Maybe a relative drops in? Maybe someone notices the family resemblance? I'm not sure where to go with it, but it sounds like a fun setup.
 
It's legal in New Jersey. Maybe the drama comes from them having family who gets them to visit home as part of a trap to try and jail them (or at least one of them)
 
I know I've seen a few I/T stories of brother+sister and father+daughter living as married -- I even wrote one of the latter, That's My Girl. I think the usual scenario has the drama happening up-front; once hooked up, they live in obscurity with either no meddling relatives or nobody the wiser -- Happy For Now ending.

I do have a brother+sister 'marriage' in A Taste of Spirits but again, the drama is before, not after, and none of the other players really care. I'll deal with a brother+sister thing in more detail in the sequel to A Taste of Pears and CIder but a female cousin is in there too; they can all pretend to just be sharing quarters because they ARE family. My other brother+sister stories have not really gone into long-term layouts; I'll have to think about possibilities.

The expected drama would be as you suggest -- relatives or acquaintances or the media might catch on. Your McGuffin is Secrecy. Does the drama revolve around concealment? If not, what else? Pregnancy and birth defects? Job or life tensions threatening to tear them apart? Unfaithfulness? BDSM fun that goes too far? One of them goes nutz? A terrible accident occurs?

IMHO the dramatic possibilities in Incest break down into:

* It is taboo and illegal and must be concealed -- unless nobody cares.
* The possibility of birth defects -- but the baby can be a plot point, too.
* (Un)usual vicissitudes of life drop in to mess up incestuous happiness.
* More and more relatives get involved until the overloaded bed collapses.

Of course they can always be transformed into banana slugs, and eaten. Cf BIG BANANA (linked in my .sig). THAT takes care of the sibling relationship. ;)
 
Maybe a snoopy neighbor discovers the secret, and blackmail ensues!! Not money, but sexual favors.

Then they murder the blackmailing neighbours. Committing murder together strengthens their relationship as husband and wife. They make love over there graves.

I could go along with that, as long as the snoopy neighbor is ALSO a relative, so the sexual favors being blackmailed are also incestuous. THEN you've got something!

Thanks...
Snoopy neighbor was the teenage girl who babysits for them, the blackmail is to help her seduce her own brother lol.😆

She can't be a relative, because they're not living around family.
Unless she is a visiting cousin, and the bro/sis have said their kids are only the sister's, and he's just there to help out.. I sound confused, but I'm not lol...pm me lol

One story twist: interracial incest. They are half-siblings; their mother was indian, his father was white, her father was black. They look B&W. They grew up apart, met, fell in love, married, and only their mother knows. There's no reveal here, little drama, sorry. Unless they're in redneckville where interracial marriage is hated but incest ain't no big thang. Then their sibling marriage is accepted. ;)

"You nigger-lover!"
"She's my sister."
"Well okay then."

Untwisted: Sister has always cared for her year-younger brother and (unlike reality) they were always nice to each other. They bonded as best friends. Maybe they legally marry in New Jersey. No problem. Otherwise -- Do they drop off the friends+family radar? Do they pretend to just share quarters non-sexually? Why should someone who didn't know them earlier suspect anything?

As for guilty resemblance: My partner and I have been mistaken for siblings. Hey, we could exploit that!

Both of these ideas assume they have at least one child, and that the child is of an age to need a babysitter. Meaning they've been living in the town for several years, unless the children were conceived/born in their hometown, in which case the "secret" would be known; hard to keep that sort of thing quiet, you know?

So let's assume they move to the new town, she gives birth, and all their friends/neighbors are unaware of their true blood relationship. The babysitter finds out, and in return for keeping their secret enlists their aid in seducing her own brother. Incest begets incest, so to speak.

Drama points: Is the seduction successful? Does it involve the sister/wife seducing the babysitter's brother and then bringing the babysitter in as a third party? Does the brother/husband offer his sister/wife to the babysitter's brother as an incentive? Will there be a three (or four) way involved at any point? Maybe the sister/wife develops a thing for the babysitter's brother. Maybe the brother/husband develops a thing fore the babysitter. Maybe the thing(s) are reciprocated, which leads to trouble in paradise for the brother/sister marriage.

Many, many ways this could play out.

Good points, BM...:kiss:

Further plot-bunny that brings the "visiting cousin" into the picture...
The cousin comes to visit, and at some point the babysitter and cousin are alone and have a conversation. This is where the babysitter learns from the unwitting cousin that the couple isn't man/wife, but brother/sister.

Blackmail and consternation ensue.

Since the OP isn't responding, we could write this (heeheehee). It's wrong I know, I know.

No, no, no. Anything I post in Story Ideas is free to a good home. If I planned on writing it, I wouldn't have posted it. Well, maybe, if I was looking for ideas for my own story, but then I would have said so. Anyone, go ahead and write it!

And I'm not responding because I've already given all my ideas. Just listening to the rest of you pervs. :D

Blackmail gets tricky. What are the terms -- money, sex, control? Do bro+sis submit or resist? Where does the story head: toward comedy, absurdity, heavy sex, tragedy? This can lead to messy endings. But using the cousin for the reveal is good.

I like all these. Incest begets incest, and three- and four-ways, and then fracturing (for drama) or polyamory (for heat).

The direction would have to be up to the specific author, I think.
Terms were already established--help bedding the babysitter's brother. Or father. Or uncle. Heck, brother/husband/sister/wife managed it, they ought to know how to go about it, right?
Direction? I'd head for the heavy sex, myself, but that's just me...maybe a little tragedy at the end: sadder but wiser sort of thing. But definitely sex-heavy.

Or maybe fracturing, followed by reconciliation and polyamory: stasis to conflict to resolution. The classic dramatic plot.

The only problem I see with using the cousin for the reveal is that presumably they're hiding from their family, also. If the cousin runs into them or tracks them down, won't he/she then reveal where they are to the rest of the family? Will they be forced to move/disappear again?

Maybe another device would be better: the babysitter starts snooping around and finds an old picture album or box of memorabilia...

Quite. Just what I was thinking.

Or maybe the family knows and does not care. Bro+sis are distant because of jobs or school, not to hide out. But yes, that's a bit far-fetched.

Ah, then we can't have cousins in the fun. :( But I've used the pnoto-album reveal in my BLACK & WHITE stories. It's a good mechanism.

Roger Ebert had a name for that particular trope: when the detective finds an old photo tying together all the players in a mystery, and suddenly he understands exactly what's going on. Ebert called that the "Kojak Moment."

The understanding among my friends is that a "Kojak Moment" is one where you manage to find a parking spot directly in front of where you're going, instead of two blocks away. :)
