I actually approached the incest with the same kind of wariness and the first few stories I actually wrote were all about me working my way around and through it, because yes, I had to consciously set aside my inculture biases and prejudices about it...which in retrospect should not have been as difficult as it was especially when we're talking about two brothers who hunt ghosts, werewolves, demons, and other entirely fictional inventions as a matter of course.
And even on reading and enjoying it (angst or fluff/schmoop) has not changed my impressions or assessment of the damage potential of real-life incest.
And now I find myself wanting a happily ever after for them, no matter how improbable it would be in real life because in the fictional realm, any kind of happy for either of them seems so impossibly far away.
