...What implications would it have if "getting with your best friend's daughter" in a fashion like Fire Emblem's shenanigans actually was a thing?

Because with spaceships moving at significant fractions the speed of light for various things, it could be a thing that the Human Race may have to one day deal with.

If you spend enough time in time dilation that your best friend's daughter is now the same age as you, enough time has probably passed that your best friend no longer really thinks of you the same way anyway, since he'll have so much more experience than you.

But what if your best friend is on the space ship with you?

Actually, isn't there a sci-fi novel or short story dealing with this?

I can't imagine there not being dozens, although anything specific is eluding my mind.

I'm sure the Enderverse covers enough like it at some point.

Let's say this: You and your Friend both have to leave Earth for purpose X. He takes his wife, because Jody is still real in the streets, but due to things going out there, has to leave his daughter with her grandparents- I.E. his parents.

Upon return to Earth, said daughter is now the same age as you.

You've basically found the FE Fates scenario. [Except instead of Babyrealms, the only thing keeping this from being real is the lack of cool starships and accessible spacetravel for plebs IRL]

Honestly, why does it have to be a best friend's daughter. If your civilization is advanced enough for spaceships that would make this scenario possible, it is likely also advanced enough to fix genetic issues and clone things reliably. You don't need a best friend, just a daughter/genderswapped clone left behind!

Heck, advancements could probably lead to granting sapience to plants. Imagine getting married to a tree, you could time dilate all you want, that tree'll keep on existing because good heavens trees live a long time. The perfect companion for a time dilater when you think about it!

Eh I'd be happy enough to get hitched with my best friend's son if we were into each other.

If memory serves, user @MariaTaylor loves stuff like this.

Weren't you the user who likes to write short stories of alternative form of romance and sex?

I mean I probably write around 200k words per year on average

yes, I have written alternative romance in the past

I wouldn't say I love it or anything, not more than I just love writing in general

someone going into space to fuck their own daughter is not what I'd call "alternative romance," it's just disgusting

the tree thing is interesting I guess

Maria's form of time dilation would be leaving Earth and coming back to a world where all women have evolved into making dazed drooly anime faces.

If you traveled in a wormhole and ended up back in time to meet yourself and had sex with yourself does that count as masturbation?
