'''Basic Trope''': A character unwittingly develops, or is unwittingly encouraged to pursue, a romantic/sexual attraction to a blood relative who is aware of their consanguinity. 
* '''Straight''': Bob knows he's really Alice's nephew, but she doesn't, and she falls for him. 
* '''Exaggerated''': 
** Alice doesn't take "no" for an answer, and becomes a StalkerWithACrush, unaware of her consanguinity with Bob. 
** Bob is Alice's future self who underwent a [[GenderBender sex change]] and travelled back in time; she, unaware of this, [[ScrewYourself falls for him]] 
* '''Downplayed''': 
** Bob is Alice's half-cousin once removed. 
** Alice flirts casually with him, but does not seriously fall for him. 
* '''Justified''': 
** Bob has traveled back in time to a point before he was born, so that Alice has no foreknowledge of him. 
** Bob has undergone a FountainOfYouth that brought him to a similar age to Alice and made him unrecognizable to her. 
* '''Inverted''': Bob hits on Alice in full knowledge of their blood relation. Alice, however, is unaware of how they are related. 
* '''Subverted''': 
** Bob was mistaken about being Alice's nephew... 
** Alice knew about the blood relationship all along. 
* '''DoubleSubverted''': 
** ...and he is instead her long-lost brother. 
** ...but then she suffered amnesia. 
* '''Averted''': 
** Alice doesn't fall for Bob at all. 
** Alice and Bob are not blood relatives. 
* '''Enforced''': "We want to test Alice to see how much she intuitively picks up about Bob with no foreknowledge that he's related to her." 
* '''Invoked''': Bob knows that Alice went into a disastrous marriage based on an infatuation, so he travels back in time to use his charms to steer her away from the wrong man. 
* '''Defied''': Bob tells Alice of the blood relationship, or [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim breaks her heart]] to nip any romantic interest in the bud.
