On sibling relationships

nnozomiMostly because I find the congruence of these quotations funny, and also I'm curious about whether anyone on my f-list falls into the center of this particular Venn diagram.
"i love all yunmeng shuangjie reconciliation fics with the ugly sobbing and heart shattering conversations and the long journey of falling back into step with each other but also sometimes i just…… i have never apologized to my sister once and she has never apologized to me and sure, whatever we fight about isn’t the Magic equivalent of the ‘who do you think gave you the heart’ sob story but idk man, sometimes you fight with your sibling and don’t talk for a bit and then one of you will run into whatever room the other is in and shove their phone in the other’s face to share the shittiest meme you’ve ever seen, you know?
it’s about wei wuxian bursting through the gates of lotus pier some random day, rushing to jiang cheng and, idk, waving a jar of some New and Exciting alcohol that might just be better than emperor’s smile right in his face because he can’t trust his husband to be a good enough judge on this so, really, jiang cheng you need to try this right now, no time for cups just chug and jiang cheng just going ‘bold claim’ and drinking fucking immediately, no questions asked.”
(evakant, I think, via winepresswrath whose tumblr I tend to lurk near because I like her opinions)
“Lawrie contemplated this apparently absurd statement, said ‘Oh,’ sat down on Nicola’s bed, and looked at her twin speechlessly. And suddenly they were back to normal. There was Nicola, here was Lawrie, and whatever people might be doing to them outside and whatever they might from time to time think of one another’s clottishness, made no difference, really.”
(Antonia Forest, End of Term)
(While I'm at it, a Dreamwidth technical question: if I decide to be a responsible DW user and add tags to existing posts, does that cause them to be redated or send notifications to commenters or something, or can it be done inconspicuously?)
A couple of photos while I'm posting anyway: a very small cow, a very small lion, and some roses etc.
Be safe and well.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21398563/chapters/50978224 - Audience of One, by WinterDreams; probably my favourite modern AU; it's Xicheng, fake dating turning into real dating; some angst, but a lot of fluff and supportive relationships as well.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/1860913 - Modern Cultivator AU, by Netrixie; nielan, lots of fluff and feels.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22333462 - Brother Mine, by TheUniverseJihoonBuilt; Twin Jades character study
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22392739 - Until the Night is Over, by TheUniverseJihoonBuilt; fluff and cuddles, as arranged by drunk LWJ
and before I fall too far down into this hole, one last sneaky self rec
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24697612/chapters/59689636 - Blue Runs the Water; which was my attempt at 'write the LXC fic you want to see in the world', aka LXC & JYL besties canon divergence
