A Deep Dark Family Sekret...

[heidi]

What the heck is wrong with cousins marrying each other?

Eleanor & Franklin were (distant) cousins...

And so were my children's great great grandparents on their father's father's father's side.

Yes, Aaron's great grandparents were cousins - first cousins, as a matter of fact - and I don't think there's been any lasting ill effects, apart from the utter inability of anyone (bar one uncle) on that branch of the family to produce a girl. Sons. Everyone has sons. No daughters. But I don't think they're really connected.

So long live my new plot bunny wherein the Grownups in the Black family were shipping Sirius/Narcissa from the time they were in their cradle...

And that MWPP-era Emma fic...

And SoC, which I wrote about a page of yesterday...

Ah, gotta love the sleeping baby.

Speaking of which, here's a new picture (large res as usual).

Heidi fics are good. :D

And, as far as I know, as long as you're not double cousins, it's fine, both legally and genetically. Of course, generations of inbreeding is no good, as it leads to royalty... ;)
