Incesty Pairings

[deird_lj]

So, I come bearing pollage.

I've seen a lot of conversations about fanfic recently, in which people have discussed different pairings and said "That pairing squicks me out. It's... almost incestuous."

And I was wondering which pairings are most likely to strike people that way.


So, under the cut is a poll, full of pairings!
Rate each pairing from 1 (not incestuous in the slightest) to 10 (really really incestuous and squicky).

Buffy/Giles is weird to me, because I don't think they quite fit the father/daughter kind of mold, yet at the same time I see something familial. I'd probably read it, though, once Buffy was a truly independent adult.

When it comes to Connor/Cordy I was always more "...er" on her part than his, because she's the one who remembers changing his diapers, not Connor. (I thought his crush was kind of sweet, actually.) If he'd never been taken I think she'd have become a mother figure for him.

Personally, I'm far less squicked out by sibling incest than pairing incest - except for Buffy/Dawn, maybe because Buffy was forced to become a parental figure. Tara/Dawn I'm conflicted on - maybe a few years down the road, if Tara hadn't died.
