OOOOH. I hardly play any games but I love sibling stories! I love them when they're not isolated and weird and incestuous and intense, but I also very much love them when they are. And yeah, it all sounds very you, especially the 'trapped together for months'.
There are some incest ships I prefer to avoid and some I'm willing to look at fanworks for, and 'how fucked-up is the existing relationship between these characters?' tends to be a strong factor. For example, I prefer not to contemplate incest between Sokka and Katara, who have a fairly stable and loving sibling relationship, but I am willing to consider it between Zuko and Azula, who, uh, don't.
Mmm. Same, I think! Sokka and Katara seem like... real siblings, I guess. Or maybe just functional siblings. For me I think it's also that I often love rivalry in a ship, and parallel characters - the same but different, equal but opposite, and that's often siblings in fiction. And friends-to-enemies-to-lovers. I ship Thor/Loki and Nebula/Gamora for basically the same reasons I ship Buffy/Faith and Xavier/Magneto. 'We hate each other but we also know each other so well and on some level we'll always love each other.'
ANDREW, CASUALLY STANDING AROUND WITH YOUR FINGERS HOOKED THROUGH YOUR SISTER'S BELT LOOP IS NOT NORMAL. No wonder your mother thinks you should live separately.
