I was referring to the characters named Robb and Lyanna being lovers in "A Song for Lya" and nephew and aunt in ASOIAF. It is sometimes speculated that GRRM is enjoying the incest scenes in ASOAF slightly too much... (Although I personally think there is nothing to the rumor that GRRM has an incest fetish. His other stories don't contain incest, so I think he figured that ASOIAF was a story that could use it.)
