Family relationships

[lothy.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I'm looking for any stories that deal with the relationships between adult relatives; i.e. parents & children, brothers & sisters, etc.

I'm looking for slightly more angsty fics, for example:
- strained relationships, family who dont get on well, e.g. parents disapproving of their kids lives, that kind of thing
- meeting long-lost or previously unknown relatives
- angst unrelated to their relationship but affecting both, e.g. both being kidnapped

Any characters are welcome; fics can be set in the past, present or future I don't mind; I don't mind what the pairing is (if there is one). I definitely want the characters to be adults, or at the very least older teenagers; I'm not looking for kidfics.

Here are some examples of fics I've already read and liked that fit what I'm looking for:

I'd rec 'My Father Before Me' by Telleer but I see you read it already...

And I'm not sure about this but since you said "angsty" "meeting long-lost or previously unknown relatives" I thought of 'Children of Lantean Design' by Xela (url:http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=50)... It's about a group of scarred(literally and figuratively) kids who went back in time to a parallel universe of our canon SGA... this story showcase lots of angsty strained relationships so there...

sorry I didn't see that you don't like kid fics... my rec above do have little kids but the most prominent angst comp of that fic is between the to be parents and the 17-20 years old children... so try it still.... if you want...

Thanks. I actually read this a week or two ago and quite liked it, although presumably not enough to have bookmarked it if it's not on my list. Thanks though!

I don't mind some kids in the fics, I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't looking for, say, a story about Rodney angsting over not knowing how to look after his 2-year-old.
