I approve of the new rule. Cute. Really sweet.

I am not buying into Ploy's story. She is just messing with Mew. It is a ploy, I am certain of that.

There is Yuri on SAO in Mother Rosario arc, Yuki fall in love for Asuna and she explicity say that
So yeah, this doujin is pretty acurate about Yuki feeling for Asuna

Wait, what? If you are referring to that time Yuuki asked Asuna to marry her, it was a joke. They were visiting Yuuki's old home, that was supposed to be demolished, or something, so Asuna jokingly suggested that Yuuki should marry, and have that person protect the house. Yuuki laughed it off, saying that she did not have someone like that, and she followed this by making a mock proposal to Asuna.
If anything, Yuuki saw Asuna as her older sister, and explicitly called her out as such, and considering that on that occasion she did not laugh it off, instead bursting into tears and abruptly logging off, I would say that was a more accurate portrayal of her feelings. Made all the more poignant by the fact that Asuna inquires as to whether Yuuki has a sister, only to find out that she did have an older twin sister, who died the previous year. I remember Asuna sobbing after hearing that.
So, hardly a yuri platform, in my opinion.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA................................

Honestly, this is worth rereading just for Umi's faces when she realizes Kotori is touching herself.

Weird how I did not notice that the first time...

Anyway, that was a good talk, thank you, and sorry for misundertandings. :D

It was a pleasure, and if anything, I am the one who should apologise, my original comment was pretty vague.

This is new, i mean i never thought someone would choose those two to be a couple.

Right? I personally never even considered SAO to be yuri material. Lack of imagination, I guess.

I'm judging by context though, so I just wanted to give you another point of view

To be honest, I did not interpret her statement as either 'asexually', or 'bisexually', more like a general want for closeness. After all, this is coming from a bedridden, terminally ill girl, whose parents and sister have already died, a year or two prior, and she herself does not have long to live either (the whole family was a victim of AIDS, after a blood transfusion had gone terribly wrong). She was also ostracized by her peers, after finding out about her condition.

The word itself, without regard to context, was what amused me so. My original comment was not meant as a serious criticism, or anything of the sort. I just found it a funny word to be used in that situation.

Assexually here means she's fine with either gender's touch

Bisexually, then.

If she meant to say no sex, then she'd say not sexually.

Asexually = not sexually. The prefix "a-" literally means "not".

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..................... "I asexually long to feel somebody's skin." ----- next page: sex. That is not a way to fulfill someone's asexual longing. Not complaining, though, as Yuuki seemed pretty into it.

this translation was.... fascinating. I mean, I don't really know what the source material was like though.

I'm fairly certain there's no yuri at all...

There is not.

First, a general note regarding these recommendations, specifically, the quality of language (grammar and spelling). Mainly, the majority of fics listed here are written in quality ranging from good, to very good, if slightly clumsy occasionally, to excellent. Also, these works are, obviously, my personal favourites, and your opinion on the entertainment-value of those may differ.

"Searching for a Perfect Day" by harukaze
A "Frozen" fic, elsanna, modern AU, incest, currently at 329 000 words. Granted, it is not finished yet, but it is rather well written, and certainly worth a go. Something of a slow-burn, romance-vise, and it tackles the stigma of an incest relationship, rather than bypassing it, so it has plenty of drama, too.

"Saved by the Bell" by Satashi
A MGLN fic, NanoFate, high school AU, 134 000 words, complete. It is mainly just Nanoha and Fate falling in love with each other, so, a slow-burn romance fluff, for the most part.

"AlternativeS" by Satashi
A MGLN fic, technically NanoFate, a cross between the main continuity and AU, 59 000 words, complete. Drama, angst, it has romance, but it feeds into the former two categories. I warmly recommend it.

"PS: Vivio" by Satashi
A MGLN fic, Vivio/Syn, main continuity, 63 000 words, complete. Romance/drama. Vivio is a young adult in this one. PS stands for porn-star. I know that it sounds ludicrous, but Satashi actually makes it believable, not only as to how Vivio could end up in that profession, but the profession itself is rather realistically portrayed (Satashi was famous on AnimeSuki Forum for always doing a thorough research for her fics). Syn is an original character, and a rather well fleshed out one. She really fits nicely in the "Nanoha" universe, to the point that even I like her (as a general rule, I am not a particular fan of original characters).

Also, various MGLN shorts by Satashi, most notable being "Picture Perfect", "Vegas Stakes", "Week", "Sapphire Birthday", "I don't know why", "Spinel Heart", "Need Someone to Love", "Emerald Dream", "Ruby Eyes". Some of them are really short, barely over a thousand words, while some are over 20 000 (which are not technically 'shorts', granted; they are all excellent, though; you will find romance and fluff, as well as drama and angst).

"Blood & Spirit" by DezoPenguin (of "Elementary, My Dear Natsuki" fame)
A MGLN fic, Arisa/Suzuka, a combination of the main continuity and an AU that draws on "Triangle Hearts", 42 000 words, complete. Romance/thriller/action. An all-around good read, with an added bonus of having one of those sorely unappreciated pairings.

"Midnight of the Heart" + "Divided Heart" + "Innocent Heart" by DezoPenguin
A MGLN three-shot, Nanoha/Fate/Yunno, main continuity, over 12 000 words, complete. Romance/angst. I know that the combination of characters may seem as troll-ish to some, but it really is not. It has quite an unusual way of resolving the triangle.

Now we come to the "Shadowverse" series. It is a collaborative work between four or five authors, but I only read works from two of them, RadiantBeam (the originator of the series) and DezoPenguin (who mostly did companion fics). A series of MGLN fics that explore a possible dark side of the TSAB. Basically, the Bureau has a branch, the NSIS (Naval Special Intelligence Service, whose operatives are colloquially called 'Shadows', as opposed to the more 'heroic' regular mages, colloquially Strikers and Aces), that does its dirty work (assassinations, covert, black operations, and such, and basically live by the code 'ends justifies the means', their 'ends' being the security of administrated worlds, and very few people in the general public know about them; think of them as a version of Section 31 of "Star Trek"). The regular mages, Nanoha in particular, frown at their very existence, mainly because of their willingness to sacrifice, even kill a few people, to save the lives of many in return. The main pairing is Vivio/Lutecia, the kicker being that Lutecia is a Shadow. RadiantBeam's stories in the series are, chronologically: "Learn the Hard Way", "Never Been Kissed", "Never Confessed", "Daddy's Little Girl", "I Spy", "The Christmas Locket", "Waiting Game", "Shadow", "Sunrise", "Long Distance Goodbye", "Growing Pains", "It Never Hurts With You", and "Borderline". This last one, though, is not a part of the main continuity.
DezoPenguin's stories are: "Mothers and Daughters", a side-story to "Daddy's Little Girl"; "Following Her Lead", a sequel to "Daddy's Little Girl"; "Shadows Fall", a spin-off from "Shadow"; "The Shadows We Cast", a side-story to "Sunrise"; "Caught Within Shadows", a side-story to "Sunrise"; "Border Crossing", follow-up to "Borderline"; "Within Our Own Shadow", independent story chronologically placed after "Daddy's Little Girl"; "Shadow in the Rain", independent story; "Throwing Light on a Shadow", a follow-up to "Long Distance Goodbye"; "Running Through Shadows", independent story chronologically placed before "Shadow"; "A Cure Worse than the Disease", independent story (if I recall correctly); "I Never Knew You Could Take it Literally", independent story; "Actually One of the Better Excuses", independent story (possibly even AU-ish, with regards to this series continuity, I do not remember fully); "Take Her Best Shot", again, an independent one (at least I think, it was some years ago); "Love Casts But Fleeting Shadows", independent story chronologically placed some years after the last RadiantBeam's story.
In total, some 119 000 words worth of fics, ranging from fluff (not too much, though), to serious romance, to drama, to angst, to thriller, to action. It has a rather dark overtone. Bear in mind that the "Shadowverse" series itself is larger than this, but, as I wrote, I did not read the works by other authors. It was not that I deliberately skipped them, I just never got around to reading their works.

After that, I would recommend "Hayate x Vivio Files", again, a collaborative work by several authors. It is main MGLN continuity. It started as a crack pairing, obviously, but it quickly got a serious overtone, and it succeed marvelously. The three stories you should start off with (that is, if you decide to read it) are written by deathcurse (the originator of the series), and are, in order how you should read them: firstly, "You Never Lose By Loving"; secondly, "Lose By Holding Back"; and thirdly, "Prerogative of the Brave". After that, you can read the remaining fics in pretty much any order you want. Those are, by deathcurse: "Gut Feeling", "Little Girl", "Ulterior Motives", "It Must Be Love", and "Judgment Day".
Also, part of the series: "To Let Nature Run its Course" by Extrinsical, "Grandmama Wolf" by RadiantBeam, "No Atheists in Foxholes" by DezoPenguin, "The Things We Tame" by Shigan (this last one is listed on deathcurse's profile as 'in progress', but it is actually completed).
In all, some 82 000 words worth of fics (42 000 of which are "Prerogative of the Brave"). And, in contrast to the above mentioned "Shadowverse" series, this one is more romance-oriented, as the main obstacle is Hayate's stubbornness regarding the age gap, rather than one of the lovers having a lot of blood on their hands.
It is possible that, in the meantime, some other authors have contributed as well, there have been some years since I read this particular, and quite adorable, series.

By the by, if some of these names seem to pop up more often, it is because some of them (Satashi, DezoPenguin, RadiantBeam, deathcurse) formed a group of very popular authors and posters in the "Nanoha" fanfiction thread on AnimeSuki Forum, which I visited regularly back in the day.

"A Heavy Burden" by confused-ish
A "Maria-sama ga Miteru" fic, Sachiko/Yumi, main continuity, 55 000 words, complete. Romance, but with a heavy accent on angst. Also, tragedy. But, if you can stomach that, it will be worth your time, I am positive of it.

"Not so different" by Amphy
A "Maria-sama ga Miteru" fic, Sachiko/Yumi, AU-ish, 51 000 words, complete. Romance, humour, happy end. The twist is that Yumi has been attending public schools, until being forced to attend Lillian. So she is much more down-to-earth, slightly sarcastic person, who finds the customs of Lillian to be ridiculous. At least in the beginning.

"The Wordsmith's Flower" by Buddhacide
A "Maria-sama ga Miteru" fic, Sei/Yumi, main-ish continuity, 22 000 words, complete. Romance, light on the drama, happy end. I mostly like it for the pairing itself.
Also, there are several shorter stories (over 10 000 words) with that pairing by The Denominator, here. Unfortunately, the only thing I found in my notes was a * sign, meaning that I liked it, but I do not recall the specifics.

"In Sunlight and In Oils" by CelticX
A "Maria-sama ga Miteru" fic, Sachiko/Yumi, AU, 21 000 words, complete. Romance, some drama. In this one, Yumi never attended Lillian, but she still dreamed of Sachiko, to the point that it drove her almost insane. Somewhat supernatural. Or perhaps spiritual would be a better fit. Has a sequel, "In Dreams and Visions", 22 000 words, complete.

"Kannazuki no Shimai" by DezoPenguin
A "Kannazuki no Miko" fic, Himeko/Chikane, sequel to the manga (not the anime), thus, incest, 85 000 words, complete. Romance, also, much the same trappings as the original series. Basically, a new cycle begins. Despite sounding cliche-ish, it is rather a good read.

"KnS: Sins in the Moonlight" by DezoPenguin
A "Kannazuki no Miko" fic, Himeko/Chikane, prequel to "Kannazuki no Shimai", 16 000 words, complete. Lemony goodness.

"Ame no Murakumo ga Miteru: Red String" by DezoPenguin
A "Kannazuki no Miko" fic, Himeko/Chikane, sequel to the above "Kannazuki no Shimai", 29 000 words, complete. Romance, drama, but without the deadly struggle part. Basically, a peaceful reincarnation, in which society and parents prove the biggest obstacles (no incest here). Can be read as a stand-alone.

"AmeMite II: The Seven Mysteries" by DezoPenguin
A "Kannazuki no Miko" fic, Himeko/Chikane, sequel to the above "Red String", 53 000 words, complete. Romance, everyday-life things, and there is not much drama, despite having the tag, because the biggest obstacles were dealt with in the previous work.

"Capturing a Heart" by Aloness
A "Kannazuki no Miko" fic, Himeko/Chikane, AU, 131 000 words, complete. Mostly just sweet, sweet romance. Chikane is a famous tennis player, Himeko is a freelance photographer.

"One Night" by Victoria G
A "Sailor Moon" fic, Rei/Minako, 67 000 words, complete. Again, just sweet, sweet romance. Nothing more to be said. Plenty to be read, though.

"Deconstruction" by Victoria G
A "Sailor Moon" fic, Rei/Minako, 29 000 words, complete. Romance, but with a considerable amount of angst this time. Happy end, though. Also, the two chapters actually cover the same time period, one is from Rei's perspective, while the other is from Minako's.

"Those Gilded Chains We Wear" by KuraiBites
A "Harry Potter" fic, Hermione/Bellatrix, main continuity, with a slight twist in the Battle of Hogwarts, 297 000 words, granted, it is not yet completed, but it is growing steadily, and is such an excellent read, that I earnestly recommend it. Romance, angst, drama (well, obviously, with such a pairing). But, the reason why this fic stands out from all other Bellamione fics is that it actually manages to keep the characters in-character. Bellatrix is clearly evil and insane, there are no attempts to write off her actions, or in some other way make her more 'acceptable' (like her being a spy for the Light side, or going back in time to a period when she was 'uncorrupted', or some such contraption). Hermione, for her part, does not become evil, or some such nonsense. And there are no soul-mates and similar tropes used to explain the feelings between the two. And that is why it is great. The two of them manage to fall in love, while in-character. And the romance is believable. If that is not good writing, I do not know what is. Because of that, though, the romance is rather slow-developing.

"Image Of You" by angelic1hp
A "Harry Potter" fic, Hermione/Ginny, main continuity, post-war, 78 000 words, completed. Romance, with accent on angst and drama. Mainly, Hermione is in denial, and most of the drama stems from that.

"Crazy Little Things" by dreiser
A "Harry Potter" fic, Hermione/Luna, main continuity, post-war, 98 000 words, complete. One more with just sweet romance.

Well, these are some of my favourites, I hope you will find something to your liking amongst them. I may add more, as I have yet to locate all of my notes (I have a habit of keeping lists of fanfics and such that I have read). For example, ShizNat has some rather good material, but those notes are nowhere to be found, and after 7-8 years of being away from the fandom, my memory is unreliable, thus...

On a side note, these hyperlinks look elegant and all, but when having them in such quantity, it is rather exhausting to deal with all those brackets.

^ Hey, what are you implying about Amara and Michelle?

Also, is it just me, or is Anna crying in the 'forehead' panel? Fear of being friend-zoned, perhaps?

Cute. Now I want to re-read "Centaur's Worries", despite its lack of yuri. Also, regarding monster-girls, dridders are seriously underrepresented.

they are in public park
just how ?

They apparently do not know that public parks are intended strictly for fencing practices.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.............. that credit page... It was such a gentle, sweet piece, with just the right amount of angst sprinkled over it... and then that credit page annihilated it in a second. And it was awesome!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA................................................. body pillow body pillow...

Agram (Zagreb), Croatia.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA............ oh, this one was pure gold...

Thanks Madoka sama for the cellphones and tecnology!!!! Imagine this happening like 20 years ago... It would be the end with a sad ending

We did have cell phones in the 90's, and email before that...

No, we did not. We used lighthouses to communicate over larger distances.

Finally got around to reading this one. It was a standard one-shot package, but still, it was adorable. Really sweet. More yuri incest, please!

Go check out the great 'the rabbit and the puppy' story on fanfiction.net if you fancy some lovely lucky star Kagami X Tsukasa twincest :)

I've mentioned it before but since the topic came up - it's very well written and still going strong - but a slow burner - 10+ long chapters in and no actual incest yet though its getting close!

And if anyone wants to recommend any good yuri incest - any type - I'm all ears!

"Searching for a Perfect Day", a "Frozen" fanfic. Modern setting, and it is a rather slow-paced one. Currently at 329 000 words, and the writing style is really good.

I know it isn't 100%, but I was always told it is high enough, that it isn't worth the risk, because child will always have some issues and much bigger chance than average for "jackpot".

So are children form people who have genetic diseases or from women who are 40+..or who are smoking...or drinking. Yet no law forbids them to have sex and kids.
Just imagine that, a politician trying to push a law the forbids people with genetic mental illnesses to have children. The media would have a field day with that one.

Yet, why are incest relationships still forbidden? Why is it 'worse' for them to have children?

This. Very much this. I wanted to include something to this effect into my post, but I reasoned that I was enough off-topic as it is, and decided against expanding further.

I for one question for example why Keiko never thought, or Ran never suggested about visiting a psychiatrist

One word: Japan. There is a prevalent social stigma attached to it, so people deal with severe psychological problems mostly by becoming shut-ins. Even admitting that there is something wrong is frowned upon, so going to a psychiatrist is a no-no.

Yes, I know. I was just elaborating on recessive disorders because they are the biggest threat, and because many people seem to think that they will automatically appear whenever there is het incest involved.

last edited at Oct 3, 2015 12:28PM

Actually, as long as they aren't producing highly inbred children and the relationship is fully consensual just like any other, I've never seen any reason at all for objecting to any kind of incestuous relationship.

My thoughts exactly.

As for the inbreeding. Incestuous relationships do not produce genetic mutations. Most of the genetic disorders associated with incest are recessive, meaning that a person needs two recessive genes paired for a particular trait in order to develop the disorder. In general population those disorders are not that common because there is enough dominant genes for those traits circulating around, and when a dominant gene is paired with a recessive one, the recessive one is suppressed (hence the name). Close relatives have high degree of genetic similarity, meaning that if a particular potentially harmful recessive gene is present in the family, chances are, the hypothetical lovers might both have it (paired up with the dominant gene, hence they do not have the disorder themselves). Meaning, there is a higher-than-average possibility that a child produced by the couple might inherit the recessive genes from both parents, and as a consequence, develop the disorder. But only if the recessive gene is present in the family in the first place. It will not magically appear just because the couple is breaking a taboo.
Also, the mere presence itself of the gene in the family does not automatically mean that the child will inherit it (hence why I used the italics on key words).

Example: X (dominant gene for a trait); x (recessive gene for that same trait, harmful); B (brother); S (sister); C (child); % (chances for a particular combination of genes)

B(X,x) + S(X,x) = 1) C(X,X) - 25%, healthy
= 2) C(Xx) - 50%, healthy
= 3) C(xx) - 25%, disorder

-in total: 75% chances that the child will be healthy

Do note, that both the sister and the brother must be Xx for it to be possible (they can not be xx because then they would have the disorder themselves). One of them, or even both, could be XX, even if the recessive x gene is present in the family; it depends whether or not their parents passed it onto them. If even one of them (either brother, or sister) is XX, their child can not develop the disorder.

Equally, there are chances that the disorder might appear when the lovers are not related at all, if both their families have the gene. What I want to say, it is purely genetics, incest does not produce genetic mutations, it just has a higher possibility that potentially harmful recessive genes could be paired up. If, for example, those genes are not present in the family in the first place, then there is nothing to pair up, and no disorder whatsoever. And since we live in an age when genetic testing is available, it is not impossible for such couples to see if there are any dangers hidden in their genetic makeup in the first place.
