Hi

I'm looking for stories where the family favors one son over another, even when the former does bad things. It can be stealing a spouse, scamming money, even physical harm. Never mind what the favored son does to the other son, the family backs him up. An ending with just deserts is a plus.

Are there stories like that? TIA.

There are plenty - rlfj's 'A Fresh Start' where Hamilton got a free pass every time and the protagonist did indeed end up in the desert IIRC ;-)

Wojtek's 'A New Beginning and Beyond' probably qualifies too.

WTSMan's https://storiesonline.net/s/13500/speak-now-or-forever-hold-your-peace

Does it have to be sons, or would daughters be acceptable too? Cheryl Terra had a good one but it's been removed.

Yes, can be siblings of any gender. I'm interested in the conflict. :)

Third Time's the Charm by Xalir (as opposed to all those other writers who've used that title)

Lazlong's Ed and Kathy fits what you're looking for as well.

Premier only, however.

There is a bit of it in Von in your Mind's Going to War.

'Echo' by Reluctant Sir is a do-over where the non-recycling son is the favored one.
