unusual family fic prompts

1. “I found dolls in my grandmother’s attic that look exactly like me and my family members down to the scars and birthmarks but they’re dusty and wearing clothing like I’ve never seen before.”
2. “My divorced parents have both married new people and one set of step siblings have shadows that don’t match their bodies and the other set have reflections that move just a hair slower/faster than they do.”
3. “I’ve always known I was adopted but yesterday three strangers came up to me, gave me wrapped packages, and said they hoped my sire would accept their tribute? Am I being punked?”
4. “Uncle James is a vampire, Auntie Carol is a lorelai, Cousin Charlemagne is a shapeshifter, my sisters are sybils, my brother is a Rhymer, my grandmother was a sylph, my father a warlock, my mother a siren, and me? I’m the strangest one of all.”
5. “I always thought my name was super weird but we just had our first family reunion in two generations and it turns out half my cousins have the same first name but I’m the only one with my middle name and every time I tell one of them that they nod and say ‘as the prophecy foretold.’”
6. “I’ve been estranged from my family for three years but I moved into a new apartment today and somehow everyone seems to know? People keep commenting on how ‘adoptable’ I am and then exchanging these weird knowing looks and I can’t tell if it’s a compliment or a threat.”
7. “Everybody gets a tattoo from Great Uncle Ernie when they turn 21 and it says something about their future. The bigger and more complicated, the stronger the destiny. My tattoo took over five hours and it feels like it covers most of my upper back. Nobody will let me look at it or tell me what it is, but my siblings are digging out all of their old camping gear.”
8. “My sister just sent me a text asking me how quickly I could get together a moonstone, three crow feathers, a rabbit’s foot, and some fresh cream. I think she might have wandered into a Circle. Again.”
9. “My brother has a hoard of random crap under his bed and he’s paying me to help him clean his house but I just found what appears to be an actual laser gun wrapped in bloodied clothing and now I have questions and concerns.”
10. “Most people hear about the birds and the bees from their parents. Mine had to explain the birds, the bees, and the temporal deviations.”
