* ''Fanfic/SupermanHouseOfEl'': Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers are treated as family by the Kents, thanks to Jeremiah not turning Kal and Kara in as aliens when he discovered them and helping the Kents legally adopt them and conceal their natures. Alex Danvers is an honorary cousin to Clark and Keira. To keep anyone getting suspicious why the head of the DEO is so chummy with some random farmers from Kansas, they keep this relationship under wraps.

General clarification on works content


Your parents' TrueCompanions, though not actually related by blood or marriage, are your uncles and aunts. Conversely, if you're very young, your TrueCompanions' uncles and aunts are likely to be yours as well, through contagion, and their parents may be uncle and aunt to you. Actual relatives don't count, even if they're second-cousins-three-times-removed or some such distant relationship merely simplified to "uncle/aunt".

* ''Fanfic/HarryTano'': When Harry's parents were still alive, they had him refer to Remus and Sirius as Uncle Mooney and Uncle Padfoot, respectively. Because he was so young, however, [[NoInfantileAmnesia he remembers]] them more as "Unca Mooey" and "Unca Pa'foo".



* ''Fanfic/LightOfTheMoon'': Varian refuses to call Gothel "Mother", so they compromise and he refers to her as "Aunt/Auntie Gothel". An inversion, as Varian is being forced to refer to Gothel as a parental figure (as she kidnapped him from Quirin and is forcing him to go along with whatever she says under threat of his father's death).
